Ch. 25 Getting Even

The fight passed quickly, too quickly for Andros' liking. He looked around after Ecliptor vanished to survey the damage. Everyone seemed relatively unharmed, even he, besides being rather tired, was fine. As they teleported onto the Megaship Andros noticed that they had received a transmission from an unknown location. He didn't have to be told where or who it was from he was only afraid of what it said. He quickly rushed to his control panel and saved the message so only he could view it.

"What was that?" Ashley asked him, having also notices the light upon entering the room.

"Just some unknown message," he tried to lie but she knew the truth.

"It was from them, wasn't it?" she questioned, low enough that the others couldn't hear her.

"I think so," he whispered. "I just don't want everyone to know about it." Ashley nodded and left to join the others for a snack. After she left the room Andros hurried to his own room,

"DECA, lock the door and allow no one in," he commanded. "Not even Ashley." DECA did as she was told although she planned to listen to the message as Andros did.

"Hello, son," Aarcuus growled at the screen. "If you're watching this it means you're still alive. Shame really. I thought we'd be rid of you and your "Maura" long ago." Andros clenched his hands at the comment and barely resisted the urge to punch the screen. "If you want to fight I'm sure you know where to find me, but I don't think anyone here would be pleased to see you. Until we met again." The screen went black and Andros began contemplating a plan that would get him off the Megaship and back without being caught. The sudden knock on the door ripped him away from his thoughts and it was then that he could sense a very angry Ashley.

"Should've been blocking harder," he berated himself. "DECA, let her in."

"What are you thinking?" she questioned, rage showing clearly on her face. "You are not going after them alone. We're going to face this together."

"I don't want you hurt," Andros whispered, wrapping his arms firmly around his shaking wife.

"If I remember correctly," she began. Smiling slightly, "I wasn't the one they tried to blow up."

"Fine," he gave in and Ashley gave his a questioning look. "I've had this fight too many times and I never win so what's the point in fighting?"
"Finally," she stated. "So, what's the plan?"
"I think e should set our own trap," he began. "I know some people undercover on Onyx. I'm sure they'll love to help."

"Okay," Ashley replied. "You take care of that and I'll see who wants to watch the twins." Andros nodded and laughed as Ashley hurried out of the room.

A little over an hour later Andros and Ashley were ready to face their fathers once again. After promising to call if anything went wrong for what seemed like the millionth time the boarded the shuttle and took off.

"Are you sure you're ready?" Andros asked as they took off.

"Ready as I'll ever be," she replied. "I'm definitely ready to be rid of them." Andros nodded and entered the coordinates to Onyx. "So, what's this masterful plan of yours?"

"Well, if everything goes as planned," he began, "we'll get captured by the people helping us. They'll clear out this old building and call our fathers. When they arrive they'll be arrested and taken to the highest security prison in the universe where they'll hopefully remain for the rest of their lives." Ashley nodded in agreement to the plan, praying secretly that everything would go well because one mistake could cost them their lives.

It wasn't long before they landed on Onyx and found a letter giving them instructions to another location. They followed the directions exactly and it wasn't long before they were face to face with their fathers.

"Well, well, well," Aarcuus began, "looks like we get one more shot at finishing you off." He and Jonathan both pulled out guns and grins formed on their faces.

"Before we kill you I think there's some thinks we need to tell you," Jonathan stated. "Since there's no way you can get away from us now it's only fair that we tell you. First, Ashley I killed your father and was sent to do the same to your mother but you kept getting in the way. As for you, Andros, your brilliant father here somehow drugged your mother and made her watch while he beat you." The two teens felt tears sting at their eyes but bit their tongues.

"Now, it's time to end this," Aarcuus ordered.

"Not so fast," an officer stated behind them. It wasn't long before they had several blasters aimed their way. "Nice job you two."

"As long as their gone for good," Andros began, "it was all worth it." They watched as their fathers were taken away and then headed to their shuttle to go home.

A/N: Please Review! Sorry for the long wait. Vacation was rough and then life just got in the way. Another update should be up within a few days.
