Chapter 25

(What is it Lassie? Timmy fell down the well? Because he didn't review? So REVIEW!!!)

Okay so how are we even going to get into this memorial? We don't even know where the lab is located.

At least I don't so why doesn't Dusty tell us already?!

"So Dustaroo where is the lab?" I asked. "One is to never ever call me that again. Two is I don't know." he said.

Great.

"Why don't we look for clues?" Fishy asked. "This sounds like Scooby Doo. How about we talk like normal people but, wait we aren't normal." I said.

I looked around and I saw a sewer thing on the ground a few feet away from us. Is this a clue? No of course not because a sewer would be located here. Wait.

"How about the sewer?" I asked.

"Finally! We can go through with my plan." Dusty said and walked over to the sewer thingy.

Five minutes later he was still pulling on it and it wasn't budging an inch. There were sweat stains under his arms and I would never want to see him work out.

I don't think he ever went into a gym before.

"Let me do it." I said and easily picked it up. I smirked at Dusty and threw the lid away.

"Crap." I said when the lid went crashing through a tree. Sorry tree.

"Okay I go first then Sunset, John, Dusty, Bell, and Emerald." Fishy said. "Oh who made you the leader huh? Because I certainly didn't and I never would." I said.

"Well who voted for you then?" he asked. "Fine who votes for Fishy to be leader?" I asked.

No one raised their hand except Dusty but, I don't really care about his opinion.

"Okay now me." Everyone raised their hands except Dusty. "I win so now you have to go last." I said and jumped down the hole. I caught Em and waited for the rest.

When Fishy came down he glared at me while I stuck out my tongue.

Emerald did the same. Am I like a role model to her? Okay even I don't think I'm a good influence.

We started walking beside all the sewer sludge and then I heard a loud splash behind me.

I turned and saw that Fishy was standing in the sludge and he was really slimy (well slimier than usual) and everyone was laughing.

Emerald seemed to have a really innocent face which seems like she pushed him.

Yep that proves it. I'm a terrible influence.

"Oh this is fine. I'm made for water." Fishy said and stuck his head under the sludge. "I don't think that qualifies as water.

I also saw a dirty diaper in there." I said. Fishy jumped out of the water really fast.

I failed to mention the dirty diaper on his head and it seemed like Dusty did too. Maybe he's going to my side after all. Yes!

"I think this is it." I said. In front of me there was a door that said DANGER! KEEP OUT OR YOU SHALL DIE! MWAHAHAHAHA!

If that doesn't spell evil to you what does?

"What does it say?" Fishy asked. "Man you should have better eyesight. Why don't you go in first?" I asked.

"There are probably traps there." he argued. "I'll solve the problem scaredy fish." I said and punched the wall.

I created a hole and continued to hit the wall until it collapsed completely.

"Problem solved." I said and went through the wall.

Fishy shrugged and walked through along with the rest of the team. I looked around and saw that if we went through the door we would have been caught by a net.

Well that's better than what was in front of us.

There were lasers and those swinging, sharp metal things.

"What kind of lab is this?" I asked. Everyone else was staring at it with shock in their faces.

"Uh um well this lab doesn't have a lot of Erasers and guards so they use lasers and stuff." Dusty said.

All too late I saw Emerald start to move.

"Em! What are you doing?" I asked. She was running straight to the lasers and before I could move she was in front of them.

She did all these amazing twist and flips and avoided all of them. She was at the swinging thing. She nimbly jumped around it and she was at the other side.

"How did you do that?" I asked filled with awe.

She just started to jump up and down with a goofy smile on her face.

"Fish first." Fishy said and roughly pushed me out of his way. Who put his fin in a twist?

He tried to jump over one laser but, failed instantly. His hair was singed when he walked back to us.

"You guys really have to get back into shape." I said and walked in front of the lasers.

I jumped and twisted away from them and I was in front of the metal thingy. I jumped in front of it and I would have passed it completely except for that stupid mouse.

One of the mice in my back pack fell out and landed on the controls for the swing thing. Did anyone notice that that rhymed? I did.

The swingy thing started to move at rapid speed right towards me. I can't get out in time. Help!

Suddenly the metal stopped moving an inch from my body.

Maybe I have a guardian angel after all. Nope I guess I don't.

I looked up and saw that Em was giggling uncontrollably. Her hand was over a button which read THIS BUTTON STOPS MACHINARY. DO NOT TOUCH.

Well Em definitely touched it.

I ran up to her and hugged her. "Thank you so much. How did you know to do that?" I asked.

"Me smat." she said touching her head. I hugged her again and ruffled her hair.

"That isn't even possible. That machine should've stopped immediately and not speed up." John said. "Well maybe my guardian angel went on strike." I said.

"Okay now what?" I asked. "We keep going." Well okay. This place doesn't seem safe for a child. Heck it doesn't seem safe for me.

I walked on holding Em's hand and we entered another room.

This room is thankfully better than the other one but, not by that much.

The walls were freaky with spikes on them and if you touched one you would instantly start bleeding. The room was really long and there was only one door at the way other end of the room.

This room spells death trap to me.

I looked at the ground and saw that every once in a while there was a symbol of a fancy s on the ground.

My spidery senses are tingling. Or should I say wolf senses. Any way I don't think we should step on the s.

"Don't step on the s." I said to the group.

"No thanks." Fishy said and immediately stepped on an s. What is wrong with that boy?

I heard a loud groaning sound and the walls seemed to move. But they were actually moving. Closing in on us. I'm really glad I'm not claustrophobic.

"What is wrong with these people?!" I yelled. This place is like from an old movie.

Well here comes the hero. Indiana Sunset to the rescue!

I grabbed Emerald and started to frantically run towards the door. Everyone made it but I saw that Dusty was still half way here.

And the walls were coming in closer.

Well I guess my dream is finally coming. Wait I guess I shouldn't just let him die. Conscience now you show up? You had better leave after this.

I sighed and ran towards Dusty. I was tugging him along when I felt the walls on both my shoulders.

Maybe I could do something but, it will hurt. My hand was at a weak spot on the wall so I punched as hard as I could.

The wall broke instantly and I moved at like hyper speed or something finishing off the other wall and carrying Dusty back to the group.

Man I was huffing and puffing. I was never this tired after exercising for a while.

"That was like five seconds. No one could ever move that fast. Sometimes I couldn't even see you. How did you get so fast?" John asked.

I shrugged because I truly didn't know.

There had better not be any more surprises behind this door or someone will die.

I opened the door and I was going to look around sneakily when Fishy pushed me into the room.

Okay that does it.

I grabbed Fishy's shirt collar and lifted him up. "I'm the leader at this moment so you obey me or you will get hurt." I said and let him drop.

I looked around and saw that there weren't any traps here. Thank God.

The room was a plain office room and there was a desk. Oh crap. Someone's sitting in it. I don't think he heard us because he was still looking at his work.

I walked up to him and was about to hit him hard enough to knock him out when he said "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Then he looked up.

He had like half a human face and the other half was a robot.

I guess he was thinking that I was going to run away screaming or at least faint but, I did the opposite.

I started to laugh.

"No offense dude but, actually with offense actually you're really ugly. And look at your robot eye. It's like glowing." I said.

As I waved my hand over his eye he grabbed my hand in a death grip.

"Laughing in the face of danger. Really brave but, also really stupid." he said. "You have no idea." I said.

Then he looked at my friends.

"A team of rejects. They fit with you." he said. "Thank you. I've been told." I said. Then he looked at Fishy.

"Why is that young fish boy wearing a dirty diaper on his head?" he asked.

I burst out laughing as Fishy touched the top of his head and pulled his hand away instantly. Then he was forced to touch it to fling it away.

"Oh sorry about him. He just needs a diaper. He's so dumb that he can't use a real toilet." I said. "Hey!" Fishy yelled.

"See he thinks he's a horse and he loves hay." I said. The man looked back at me.

"Now I will dispose of you instantly if you don't agree to my terms." "Did I ever listen to rules before?" I asked.

"I thought you would say that." he said and lifted his arm.

He had a robot hand and he pressed a button on it. I heard a clicking sound and the hand started to extend lightning fast. Straight towards Emerald.

His hand gripped her throat and she started to choke.

"Emerald!" I screamed and anger filled me.

I started to move and everything looked like it was in slow motion. I was the only one moving at a regular speed.

I ran towards Em and gripped the hand around her throat. I ripped it off with my teeth and ran back towards the man.

I punched him so hard I saw a dent in the metal part of his head. He fainted or died for all I know or care.

I faced the others with the hand still in my mouth.

To them they saw Emerald choking one second and the next I gripped the hand and then a second later I was facing them.

I spit out the hand and said "hi guys. Why weren't you guys moving?"

"Uh Sunset we couldn't move. Three seconds passed while you did all that. I think you got like super speed or something. Maybe it only activates when you really need it." Dusty said.

"Okay so what should we do now?" I asked. "Look through all these folders and stuff." Dusty said.

Everyone got right to work and I grabbed a pile of folders. Skimming I found one folder which held a lot of shock for me. It read Ansuthiti.

Ansuthiti was the one who started the schools in the first place. She was an ordinary scientist who had one child. Then she accidently poured some DNA on her baby. It was wolf DNA. She instantly washed the little girl thoroughly and nothing seemed strange. Except when the baby's plain brown hair turned into golden hair and her blue eyes turned golden. The baby grew very fast and then the baby became very mad. She changed into a wolf and when Ansuthiti calmed her down she became a human again. Ansuthiti shared her discovery to the other scientists and that started the schools. Then Ansuthiti was a fun, child loving parent and never wanted harm to children. But the other scientists stole children and Ansuthiti never knew. Until she walked in on an Eraser punishing an avian girl. She tried to stop us all but, she never could. We had to kill her and her daughter. People have been thinking that her spirit still haunts them and we think that Ansuthiti's daughter may be in the body of Subject Wolf3. She may be the reason that she acts the way she is and that Ansuthiti may answer her calls.

Oh my God! Ansuthiti worked for the school. Her daughter might be inside my spirit, and she was the one who created the schools.

This can't be right. But, is it true or not?

(Oh man Lassie. You say that two hundred kids are down in wells because they didn't review? Then we have to send a warning to everyone to REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
