Chapter 14: Hello again, brother

Phil ran out from the long hallway and put his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. Then there were Smiley, Philey, Wendy, Phred, Diz and Lucy. All of them had sweats on their face. Lucy was the first one to speak.

"Thank god… If I ever have to do that again…" She grasped for air. Diz nodded.

"Yes, I know…"

"But good thing that we all get out safely." Phred said and the others nodded in agreement. But before Phil could say anything else, a loud voice came from the everywhere made everyone jumped.

"ATTENTION, ROBOTS ARMY! ATTENTION!"

Diz didn't need a second to figure out what was happening. He mumbled as he recognized the voice.

"Oh no…"

"Someone has broken in!" Daz continued to shout in the microphone. "Find and capture them, no matter who it is! Got it?!"

He then pressed a red button and the robots' eyes turned bright red. They all said one thing.

"Evil mode is activated."

"Hurry!" Diz yelled as he turned his head back to the others behind him. "We can't let those robots catch us. Once Daz has realized that someone has broken in, he will active a thing call 'Evil mode'!"

"What is 'Evil mode'?" Phil asked back as he grasped for air while sweats rolled down his face continuously.

"It's very dangerous. Once it's activated, it will cause all the robots to act mindlessly and do whatever Daz demands them, even killing the others mercilessly!"

He turned back to the front and stopped, causing the others almost falling. There were hundreds of robots approaching them with their eyes glowing dark red.

"Crap!" Smiley said between her breaths.

Diz looked around and spotted another hallway that wasn't surrounded by robots. He turned to its direction.

"This way!"

The others followed them and continued to run without resting. Eventually, they got out of the robots, but then there were two ways: one to the exit, one to the room called "Ice Laser"

Sorry, I have nothing else to call it. :(

"All of you go to the exit and get out of here." Diz said, pointing to it. Phil looked at him and exclaimed.

"What about you?"

"I have works to do with the ice laser. I have to stop Daz and end Viz's project forever. One more day it's still here means one more day the planet is in danger."

"But we can't leave you here!"

"Don't worry for me, I'll be fine. Quickly, to the exit!"

Phil was going to protest, but eventually, he took one more look at the alien before leading the others to the exit. When Diz was sure that they were gone from his view, he pushed the door open, but it was very dark inside, so dark that Diz couldn't see anything.

Once he was used to the darkness, a figure approached him. His crimson red eyes were the thing that made him shivered a little.

"Hello again…" Daz paused before speaking again in a low voice. "… brother."

"Daz." Diz said, trying to stay calm. "I didn't expect you here."

"Of course you didn't, and I didn't expect that you survived. How strong of you."

"Why, Daz…" Diz mumbled. "Why are you doing all of these things to the others… and to me? We're twins, we have the same parents, we have the same blood. So why…?"

Daz seemed quiet for while at his question, and he chuckled. "Heh, you want to know so badly?"

Diz stayed silent.

"I'll take that a yes then." Daz chuckled again, more quiet this time and that sent chill down Diz's spine. "But Diz, I thought that you know it already."

"What do you mean?" Diz said.

Daz's expression turned from evil to cold and to angry. He yelled at his brother. "Dad and mom always scolded me, saying that I'm useless, that I have nothing good in me! They said that my smart brain won't do anything useful!"

"Daz-" he was cut off.

"And they also said that we're twin brother, but you are better that me! They said I'm smart, but I don't have a heart! They said you aren't as smart as me, but you are the one everyone needs! They said the things I did didn't help at all!"

He lowered his head, tears then rolled down his face and he used a hand to wipe it away, but it kept rolling down. Diz stepped closer to him, and Daz stood still.

"That's why I ran away from home. I want to show them that I can do something big, that I can control the entire universe…"

They stayed quiet for a moment and Daz looked up. But before he could say anything…

Diz hugged him.

Okay, I have to stop here. Sorry, though. I was going to continue, but I decided that the rest will be for the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter anyway.

R & R, bye bye!
