And new update! Again, sorry for the long wait. I could have finished this chapter a long time ago, but I have to go to college in like a week and every time I tried to sat down and write a chapter, I had to go to an different appointment. Man, if preparing for collage is hard, I can't imagine the hell hole, that I'm going to for the next 4 years...anyway I don't own anything, except my OC'S.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
{The Misadventures of Vanessa Cunningham- Episode 1, part 2: Jailbreak!}
Police sirens could be heard throughout the city of Bellwood as police cars raced down the empty street, in an effort to catch up with the helicopter. Which wasn't an easy feat since the helicopter was flying at 160 mph, while a police car can only go about 60 mph. Luckily, the large buildings and skyscrapers of Bellwood made it harder for the helicopter to escape, so the police had the chance to catch up.
"Alright, men! Don't lose sight of that helicopter! I have no idea what the hell is going, but I will not let those punks ran off with whatever they stole from the museum! I need eyes in the sky, pronto! Call Officer Madison, and tell her to bring her sorry ass into the sky now!" The Chief screamed through the police scanner, before shutting it off as he gripped his steering wheel tightly and glared at the helicopter above him. The chief is a tall 42 year old man with black eyes, brown hair with white streaks, a bushy mustache and he wears a standard police uniform.
"Uh, Chief Morgan?" A young voice said as the chief briefly glanced at his passenger, who gave him a weak smile as the chief glared at him. The chief's passenger is a short Caucasian male with green eyes, black hair and seems to be in his mid-twenties. Like the chief, he was wearing a standard police uniform.
"What is it, Officer Jones? Can't you see were trying to chase down criminals here?" He said with in an annoyed tone as the young officer bit his lip nervously.
"Well, sir. I just wanted to say congratulations on your 20 year anniversary of being on the force, sir." Officer Jones said with a small smile as the chief's face soften at the news.
"Aw, thanks rookie." The chief said with a smile of his own as Officer Jones instantly groaned at the nickname.
"Not to be rude, sir, but can you please stop calling me 'rookie'." Officer Jones screamed as the chief chuckled.
"Not until, you prove yourself to be a real police officer." He said as the young officer pouted.
"But, I've been you're partner for 5 years now! I have seen and do things, that will make the average man crap his pants. What more,do I have to do to prove myself to you?" He screamed as the chief chuckled.
"A lot more than that, rookie." He said softly, before growing serious as he turned back to the road. "Now that we got that out of the way, I feel that I have to warn you about the threat that we are going to face." He said with a stern look as Officer Jones raised an eyebrow at him, but nonetheless listen to his words. The chief may like to make fun of him every once in a while, but it didn't mean that he should ignore him. Especially, when he was this serious. "These people aren't just you're average run of the mill bad guys."
"Yeah, I can tell by that force-field, that they made back at the museum." The young officer said sarcastically, before gripping his seat tightly as the chief made a sharp turn. "So, what? Are you saying that we are going up against terrorist with high-tech weapons?"
"Maybe. I have a hunch on what they really are, but I'm not sure. You remember those hostages that we saved earlier?"
"Yeah, why?"
"When, they were being treated by the paramedics, the little girl said that 'We didn't have to worry, because the bug-lady will stop them'." The chief said as the young officer gave him a confused look. Did he just heard him right?
"I'm sorry, but did you just say 'bug lady'? Care to elaborate on that statement, sir."
"While, you and the boys were pathetically trying to break through the force-field. I talked with the hostages and the little girl said, that's she and her mom were saved by a large bug-like creature."
"You can't be serious, sir. That was probably her imagination trying to cope from the traumatic event."
"That was what I thought too, until her mother came in and told the whole story. She said that one minute they were being held hostage, the next a weird monster appeared and saved them from the robbers." He said as Officer Jones processed everything that the chief told him.
"So, what you are saying is, that a giant bug monster appeared out of nowhere and saved the hostages? I'm sorry for my language, sir, but that's complete bullshit! The next thing you will be telling me, that the robbers are actually aliens in disguise!" He said as the chief turned to him and cocked an eyebrow. "Oh, come on, sir! Now you're just being ridiculous!"
"Look, I'm not saying, that I believe in monsters or aliens. I'm just saying that we need to be careful, when we encounter these people. There is something about those thieves, that I don't like. I can feel it." He said as Officer Jones rolled his eyes, but smiled at his partner's overprotectiveness.
"Chief, I'm ALWAYS careful, when we are in duty. And I have to be since, Carol and the kids won't stop worrying about me." He said as the chief smiled at the mention of his family.
"Don't remind me. You're family practically calls me every day to make sure, that I was looking after you properly." He said as Officer Jone's face went red with the new information.
"Aw, jeez. Really? I'm sorry about that, chief." Officer Jones said with an embarrassed look on his face as the chief chuckled.
"Don't be embarrassed, rookie. You have a great family. Don't take them for granted like I did with mine." He said sternly as Officer Jones laughed at him and smiled.
"Don't worry, I wont." Officer Jones said as his partner ruffled his hair playfully and smiled warmly.
"You're a good kid, rookie. And, now that we got that out of the way, it's time to get back to business." He said as he reached over to turn on his police scanner and grabbed his receiver as he took a deep breath. "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CHOPPERS?!" He screamed as Officer Jones covered his ears and couldn't helped but to laugh at his partner's antics, it's so like him to ruin a tender moment between them.
"Don't get you're panties in a twist, chief. I'm here." A woman's voice said through the police scanner as the chief looks up and see a police chopper hovering over their heads.
"Officer Maddison. Late to the party as always, it's good to see that you never change." The chief joked as he imagined Officer Madison rolling her eyes at him.
"Ha, ha, ha, that was so funny I forgot to laugh." Officer Madison said sarcastically.
"Do you have the target in sight?"
"Yeah, I do. Want me to take them down?"
"Negative. Whatever they stole from the museum is still on the helicopter, so don't shoot them down. Understood?" He said as Officer Madison sighed dramatically through the receiver.
"Fine, I'll take them out the boring way. You know, sometimes you're just no fun." The officer said playfully as the chief rolled his eyes, but smiled in amusement nonetheless.
"Just go."
"Aye, aye, captain." She said playfully, before turning off her receiver as she flew ahead to catch up with the other helicopter. Officer Jones glanced at the police scanner, before turning to his partner as he gave him a knowing look.
"What?" Chief Morgan asked, not liking the look his partner was giving him.
"Oh, nothing." He said, while looking away innocently as he smirked. "I just didn't knew that you had a thing with Olivia." He said as the chief glared at him.
"First of all, it's Officer Madison to you. And second, she is just a work friend."
"Huh-huh, whatever you say." The young officer said with a grin as the chief rolled his eyes. Meanwhile elsewhere, we see the Kroglen's making their escape on their helicopter as they had Vanessa, who was still unconscious from the beating Gantu gave her, tied up on a chair with two Kroglen's guarding her.
"Alright, men! We're almost close to our hideout! When we get there, I want you to place the Zennatrix on the weapons vault, and drag this filth into the containment center." He said as he handed the Zennatrix to one of his minions. "And, while you're at it, I don't any of you to lay a single finger on her, until I say so! We need her alive long enough, so that I can extract the secret of the Zennatrix from her. But once I'm finish you're all free to do with whatever you want with her." He said as his men cheered at the thought of getting revenge on Vanessa for the ass kicking she gave them back at the museum. "Except for you, Phil. You're sitting this one out." He said, while pointing to the bulky Kroglen in the back.
"What? Why, sir?" He asked as Captain Gantu glared at him harshly.
"You know, what you did. Prisoner 443, Planet Hyurs, ring any bells?" He asked as the bulky Kroglen thought deeply, before paling as he knew what his boss was talking about. "Didn't think that I'll figure it out, huh? You're a sick man. We may be evil, but even we have standards." He said with a scolding tone as the bulky Kroglen rubbed his neck guiltily and looked away. The Kroglen's that were standing beside him, quickly took step backs as they too were disgusted by his actions.
"Uh, sir? We may have a problem." One of the Kroglen's said as he glanced out of the window of the helicopter with a pair of binoculars in his hand.
"What is it, Xharlax?" Captain Gantu said as Xharlax turn back to him and gave him a grim look.
"We're being followed."
"What!? By who?! Is it those pesky Guardians?" The captain asked as Xharlax shook his head.
"No, sir. We're being followed by the cops."
"The cops!? What do you mean the cops!? There is no way, that they can catch up with us! Give me those binoculars!" Gantu ordered, while grabbing the binoculars from his minion's hand as he peeked out the window and sure enough, he saw the police chasing after them on their primitive earth vehicles [His words, not mine].
"And, what's worst, is that they have their own chopper as well." Xharlax says as Gantu looks up and saw a small chopper following them as well. "I estimate, that at the speed it's going, the chopper will reach us in 6 minutes."
"Hmmm, I got to admit. The fact, that the humans had managed to keep up with us for so long is impressive, but we can't have them following us back to HQ, now can we?"
He asked rhetorically as he bends down and picked up a really big and intimidating looking gun. The Kroglen's grinned at the sight of the huge gun as Gantu walked over to the side door and opened it. Not knowing that Chameleon was still hitch-hiking on their helicopter as the metal, that it was sticking too, suddenly started opening. Chameleon let out a small yelp as it hastily leaped on the roof of the helicopter, barely missing the deadly spinning blades, as it laid across the roof and sighed in relief.
Curious/annoyed on why the wall, that it was sticking too, suddenly started opening as it peeked its head down and paled at the sight of the large gun. Chameleon didn't know what the Kroglen was going to do with his gun, but when Captain Gantu pointed his gun at the other helicopter, that's when it started panicking. Thinking quickly, Chameleon pulled out it's earpiece and taps the button three times, before ducking down as it covered it's ears.
Captain Gantu took a deep breath as he placed his finger on the trigger, just as a loud noise was heard. Causing the Kroglen's to cover their ears to block out the blaring noise as Captain Gantu let out a pained scream and accidently pulled the trigger. Officer Madison eyes widen in shock as a purple beam flew pass her and struck the building that was down below her, causing it to explode as flaming debris started raining down the street. Thankfully, the building was abandon, so no one was killed.
"HOLD ON, ROOKIE!"
But it didn't mean that everybody were safe from the explosion as Chief Morgan and his squad were forced to dodge the failing burning debris from the suddenly exploding building. Officer Jones held on for dear life as the chief started swerving the car around in an effort to the dodge the falling debris, but much to the cop's dismay, one managed to get a lucky hit as a debris struck the side of their car and caused it to crash against the street. Along with other police officers, who were unfortunately driving to close to the chief and crashed as well.
"What...the hell...just happened!?" Officer Madison asked with a surprised and worried look on her face as she stared at the scene down below, before glancing back at the helicopter as she gripped her lever tightly. "What the hell are we facing against!?" She asked to no one in particular as we cue back over to Gantu, who was staring at his smoking gun with a blank look on his face as Xharlax appeared beside him.
"…Uh, boss...you missed." Xharlax said as Captain Gantu glared at him and smacked him on the back of his head.
"I KNOW, THAT I'VE MISSED YOU DUMBASS! THAT FREAKING LOUD NOISE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AND MADE ME LOOSE THE SHOT! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ANYWAY!?" He asked Xharlax, who cowered in fear at his boss angered state.
"We, d-don't know, s-sir. None of us m-made that noise. It just came out of n-nowhere." Xharlax stuttered as Gantu glared down at him, making him shrink back as Gantu tossed his gun aside.
"WELL, SOMEONE HAD TO MAKE THAT SOUND! AND, I WANT TO KNOW WHO DID IT, OR ESLE I WILL-!" He screamed, before stopping as a sneeze was heard...from the outside of the helicopter. All of the Kroglen's looked up to the roof in suspicion as Xharlax turned to his boss, who've gone eerily quite as he glared up to the roof.
"Uh, what was that, sir?"
Xharlax asked as Captain Gantu held out his hand and motioned him to be quiet. Xharlax nodded as Captain Gantu quietly reached over to the side door and poked his head out, just as a gasp above him was heard. Gantu let out a low growl as he placed his hand on the edge of the helicopter and hoist himself up to see…nothing? Gantu hummed in thought as he scanned the roof for any potential threat, but found none.
"Sir, did you found the source of the noise?" Xharlax asked as Gantu let out a long sigh, before ducking down as he shook his head.
"No, the roof is empty. For a minute, I thought we had a stowaway in our hands."
"Me too, sir. Look, whatever that noise was it's gone now, and look!" Xharlax says, while pointing down at the piles of crashed cars on the ground. "The humans are distracted! This is our chance to escape, sir!" Xharlax said excitedly as Captain Gantu looked down at the carnage below him and nodded.
"You're right, we should go." Gantu said as he turned to his minions. "Alright men, we wasted enough time, as it is. While the humans are distracted, this is our chance to make our escape. Let's go!" He said as the Kroglen piloting the helicopter nodded and set a course back to their HQ.
"Whew, that was close!" A disembodied voice said as we see can see a silhouette of a body sitting on the roof of the helicopter. "Better turn visible again." The disembodied voice said as a shimmer sound could be heard and, just like that Chameleon appeared back on the roof. "I really need to be more careful next time, if I didn't had my invisible powers they could of caught me for sure." Chameleon said, before frowning as it remembered the events that happened a few minutes ago. "Thank goodness, that I managed to stop that jarhead from destroying that helicopter. I wish, I would have done it without making so much causalities, but I can't blow my cover just yet. I need to wait until these idiots take me to their evil lair, so I can give the coordinates to Director Danvers and she can bring in a strike team to stop these assholes."
It said as we cue back over to Chief Morgan, who's ears were ringing from the crash as he groggily looked around and noticed that he everything was upside down. Confused, he rubbed his eyes and noticed that his squad car was totally flipped upside down and he was hanging from his seat, his seatbelt the only thing only holding him from falling down.
"Chief? Chief? Are you okay!? Don't worry, I'll let you out!" Officer Jones concern voice was heard outside of the police car as Chief Morgan felt someone unbuckle his seatbelt and he fell face first on the roof of his car. The chief groaned in pain as he felt someone grab him by the waist and pulled him out of the destroyed car. "He, he, he, sorry chief. I should've thought that out more."
"You think." The chief said as he glared at the young cadet, but that glare instantly washed away as he saw the state his partner was in. "Victor, are you okay?" He asked, using his partner's real name for once.
"Don't worry, Alex. I'm fine." He said, using the chief's real name as well, as the chief eyed his partner's injuries with a concerned look. Officer Jones had a small gash on his forehead and his body was covered in bruises and scratches. Nothing to serious, but nothing ignore either "If anything, it's you who I'm worried about." Victor said and he was right to be worried, since the chief's injuries were even worse than his! The chief's head had a large gash on the left side of his head, he had pieces of glass sticking out on his face and he had bruises and scratches on his entire body.
"Don't be. You don't think that I suffered something like this over the last 20 years of service?" He said as he pulled out the pieces of glass from his face, causing him to wince as he tossed the pieces aside. "To me, a car crash is just another Tuesday." He said as he sit up from the ground and leaned his back on the police car. "Now, that we got that out of the way, what happened to the other officers?" He asked as Victor's face fell and looks at the ground, not meeting his partner's eyes. "That bad, huh?" He asked as the young officer nodded sadly.
"Yes, sir. 14 officers were mortally wounded by the car crash, and 8 received severe injuries." He said as Chief Morgan hangs his head down in shame at the news. "Miraculously, no one was killed and an ambulance is on its way." He said as Chief Morgan clenched his fist and let out a few curses under his breath. "Sir, this was not you're fault." He said, while giving his partner a sympathetic look as the chief scoffed at his words.
"Yes, it was, rookie. I was the one that ordered everyone to chase after those crooks, and now because of my ignorance they paid the price."
"Alex, these people knew the risks that they were taking, when they took this job." Victor said, while sitting down next to Alex as he gave his partner a serious look. "They were trained to take on all the threats that the police had to regularly face."
"But that's the point, Victor! They never face this kind of threat before, and because of that they were nearly killed! And, what's worse is that I nearly got you killed! What would you're family say if I came back alive and you didn't? He said, before grunting as he painfully stood up and started limping away. "After this horrific event, it's clear to me now, that I have to face this threat...alone."
He said with a dark tone as he struggled to walk away, but because of his injuries, he was forced to buckle down as the pain soon became to much for him to bear. Officer Jones stared at him shock at his speech, before coming to his senses as he ran after his old partner and helped him stand up.
"Alex, wait!" He screamed as he placed his hand on his shoulder, but the chief slapped it away.
"Don't try to stop me, Victor!" He screamed as Victor gave him a stern look, and placed Alex's arm over his shoulder as he hoisted him up.
"I'm not going to stop you, Alex. In fact, I want to join you." He said Alex eyes widen in disbelief. "You were right, chief. This threat is too much for the police to handle. So, is up to us to stop them."
"No, victor! This mission is way dangerous for you!" He said as Officer Jones rolled his eyes at him.
"And this mission is too dangerous for you too, and that's why I'm going."
"But, think of you're family!"
"They're the reason, I'm doing this in the first place!" Victor screamed, causing the chief eyes to widen in shock as this was the first time that his partner ever yelled at him. "I know that I'm going on a suicide mission, and I don't care! When I first joined the police force, I vowed to myself to protect my family with everything I got! And, that includes you too, chief. Because, I consider you part of my family, and that's why I can't let you go out there without any back up. Like it or not, I'm coming with you and you can't stop me!" He said with a determined look on his face as the chief stared at him, before grinning as he gave Victor a proud look.
"And, that is why you're my partner. You have the true strength and heart to be a real policeman. I'm really proud of the man you become, Victor." He said as Officer Jones beamed at the praise.
"So...does that mean, you would stop calling me, 'rookie'?"
"Nope." He said with a straight face as Officer Jones pouted. "And, for the 'I consider you, my family' statement you just said. I will like to say that I consider you a part of my family too, Victor." He said with a warm smile as Officer Jones smiled and hugged him. "Now, before we go, I feel obligated to give you one last warning. These people are arguably the most dangerous foes we had ever face. There is a 99% chance that we may never come back from this. Are you sure, you're up to this?" He asked as Victor smirked at him and waved off his worries.
"I'm sure, chief." He says as Chief Morgan smirked at him, happy to have such a dedicated partner like him. "Besides someone has to look out for you, and since I'm you're partner, I feel that is up to me." He said jokingly as Alex shook his head in amusement and laughed.
"Okay, but if aliens started probing you, don't come crying to me." He says as Victor rolled his eyes, once again his partner just had to ruin the moment. Victor was about to give a comeback, when suddenly the police scanner from their destroyed car mysteriously turned on and a familiar voice rang out.
"Chief? Officer Jones? Are you there? Is everyone alright?" The worried voice of Officer Madison was heard as Chief Morgan, with the help of his partner, walked over to the police scanner and picked up the receiver.
"Yes, we're here, Officer Madison." He said as he heard Officer Madison sigh in relief over the receiver.
"Chief Morgan! It's good to hear, that you are still alive. Is Officer Jones with you?"
"Yeah, I'm here, Olivia. Me and the chief are fine, but the same couldn't be said for our squad. We received a pretty big hit over here."
"Yeah, I saw. What the hell was that, anyway? It was something like straight out of comic book!"
"We don't know what that was, but we do know that they're not going to get away with it!" The chief said determinedly as Officer Jones nodded in agreement. "You think, you can get a visual on them?"
"Yeah, hold on second." She said as the receiver went quite for a few seconds, before she responded. "Got them, sir. They're heading for the west side of the city, they seem to be heading for the direction of an abandon warehouse on Tara Strong Boulevard. Want me to shoot them down? Please say, yes." Officer Madison pleaded.
"Negative. Drop down and pick us up, me and Officer Jones are going after those bastards ourselves."
"I like the way you think, chief. I'll pick you up in 10 minutes." Officer Madison said as Chief smirked, before turning off the police scanner as he turned to his partner.
"Okay, rookie. When she arrives, I'll tell her to fly us to the nearest hospital and get patched up. Once we both heal up, we're going to take a detour to my house and pick up some heavy artillery."
"But, sir, it will take us all night to get healed up, and even longer to pick some weapons. Won't the thieves be long gone by then?"
"Oh, don't worry, rookie. I have a feeling that they won't be going anywhere, anytime soon."
"How are you so sure about that, chief?"
"I can feel it...in my belly." He said, while patting his gut as Victor gave him a 'Are you serious' look.
"Did you seriously just quote 'Rise of the Guardians' to me?" He asked as Chief Morgan gave him an innocent shrug. "See, now that is why you're my partner." He said, while giving him a fist-pump. "But in all seriousness, won't it be better if we just storm the place, now?"
"Trust me, rookie. My gut is never wrong, besides we're in no shape to fight anyway. So, for now let's just sit tight and wait for Officer Maddison to pick us up" He said as Officer Jones gave him a look, but decided to reluctantly follow his orders as they waited for Officer Madison to arrive.
The blinding lights was the first thing, that Vanessa registered when she woke up. Well, that and a killer headache that was pounding her head like a jackhammer. Why did her head hurt so much? Did Kevin persuaded her to have a drink or something? Vanessa instantly shot down that silly idea as she knew that she wasn't stupid enough to drink, especially since she had a little sister to take care of now...thanks a lot, dad. Vanessa thought bitterly as she sat up from the metal floor and stretched her arms-wait a minute, metal floor!?
Instantly Vanessa's body went tense as she instinctively leaped up from the floor and crouched down as she scanned her new surroundings. Vanessa's eyes widen in surprise as instead of resting on her bed in her RV, she was instead placed on a small room with no windows, a large TV screen that was wired on the wall, a small bed, and a metal bucket that currently placed the left side of the corner.
Vanessa crinkled her nose in disgust at the bucket, but choose to ignore it for now as she used her enhanced sight to scan the room for any potential escapes, but sadly she found none. The only escape route that she found was a metal door that was placed on the center of the room, but much to her dismay, it seems that the only way to open the door was if someone from the outside let her out.
"What the hell? Where am I? And, how did I get here?" Vanessa asked to no one in particular, before pausing as memories from earlier started appearing on her head. "Oh. Now, I remember, what happened." She said dejectedly as she pressed her back on the wall and slide down the floor as she rested her head on her knees. "I can't believe, that even after all my years of intense training, I got my ass handed to me by a one eyed freak! Granted he had super strength, but that's beside the point! If my uncle hears about this, he will never live it down...or worse, he might start training me again!"
Vanessa said, while grabbing her head in fright as the thought of training with her uncle again send shivers down her spine. The young heroine will admit that while she may love her uncle to pieces, the man was not a saint when he was training her. In fact, to her point of view, he was a demon in disguise. Quickly shaking her head to get rid of painful memories from the past as she took a deep breath and placed a hand on her chest to steady her beating heart, when suddenly she froze as she noticed that something really important was missing from her chest...and no, is not what you think it is. Get you're mind out of the damm gutter.
"Where's the hell is the Zennatrix?!" She asked with a panicked look on her face as she searched around the metal room for her missing device, just as the TV next to her suddenly turned on. Causing Vanessa to let out a surprise squeak as the screen flickered a bit, before a familiar image was shown.
"I think, I can answer that for you, 'hero'." Captain Gantu said mockingly as Vanessa narrow her eyes at the screen and stood up.
"You." Vanessa said venomously, while crossing her arms as Gantu smirked at her.
"Oh, I see that you manage to survive the beating, that I gave you. Trust me, when I say that I tried to hold back, but it seems that I'm more stronger than I thought." He said with a grin as Vanessa rolled her eyes.
"Oh, sure. Go ahead, and brag about beating up an innocent little girl. That defiantly shows how much of a man, you are." She says sarcastically as Captain Gantu scoffed at her words.
"You may look like a child, but you certainly don't act like one. Especially with the strength and speed, you demonstrated back at the museum. I have to admit, while you are my enemy, you're skill with the way of the sword is impressive." He said, before snapping his fingers as a minion appeared on the screen and handed him Vanessa's swords, before walking off. "What is even more impressive are these swords. I can't seem to break them, even with my strength. I know, it's not made of Taydenite. So, what is it made out of?"
He asked, while inspecting her swords as Vanessa clenched her fist and glared fiercely at the large alien. Vanessa was beyond mad, she was livid! Wasn't enough that this guy kicked her ass, destroyed her most prized possessions and strip her of her dignity as a heroine, but he had to balls to steal her swords too!? When she finds Zeda, the first thing she will do is go all Tetra-Girl on his ass, speaking off which...
"What did you did with the Zennatrix? Where did you took it?" She asked, while placing her hands on her hips as Gantu glared at her coldly.
"Careful with that tone you use, human. You don't want a repeat of last time, don't you?" He asked as Vanessa bit her tongue to prevent the swears, that were bottling down her throat from coming out, She couldn't afford to piss this guy off just yet. Whether she liked it or not, this guy had a huge advantage against her and until she can find Zeda or her weapons, she needs to play it safe and be nice to him...for now.
"Sorry, sir." She said as she winced at having to call him 'sir'. "What I meant to say was, can you tell me where the Zennatrix is?"
"What's the magic word? I can't tell you, unless you say the magic word." He said teasingly as Vanessa's eye twitched in annoyance and every instinct of her body told her give the large alien the middle finger, but she choose to ignore her primal instincts as she reluctantly followed Gantu's wishes.
"Will you tell me, where the Zennatrix is...Pleaaaaaaaase?" Vanessa said through gritted teeth, while giving him an obviously fake smile as Captain Gantu nodded approvingly.
"Now, that is more like it, human. Anyway, to answer you're question. I've hid the Zennatrix on my weapons vault. It's surrounded by an level 5 energy-field, so if you somehow managed to escape don't even bother trying to get it back. The energy-field will shut down only by my voice command."
'Okay, well at least I know, where Zeda is. But what about the briefcase' Vanessa thought to herself, before speaking up.
"Why did you stole the briefcase from the museum? What's inside that briefcase, that's so important?" Vanessa asked.
"Like, I said before, our boss wanted a piece of his property back. We don't know what's inside that briefcase, but it doesn't matter now. He won't care about a silly briefcase, now that we have you. Or more specifically, the Zennatrix. So, why don't you be a good little girl, and tell me everything you know about the Zennatrix?"
"Yeah, how about, no." Vanessa said with a cheeky grin.
"Now, you listen here-"
"No, how about you listen here, asshole." She said harshly as Gantu glared at her in shock. The young heroine knows that she royally fucked up when she snapped at him and called him an asshole, but she couldn't stand it anymore! This guy was making it really hard to act polite around, so she decided to fuck it and gave in to her primal instincts. "You may have me locked inside this room, but sooner or later, I'll find a way to get out of here and once I do, I will-"
"You'll do, what? Fight me? Kick my ass? That didn't work out so much last time, don't you think? Especially, since it took you a long time to recover. Now, unless you want another beating, I suggest you keep you're mouth shut." He ordered threateningly as Vanessa blinked in confusion, what did he mean by that?
"Wait, hold up! What do you mean, it took me a long time to recover? How long was I out?" She asked as Captain Gantu let out a thoughtful hum.
"Hmmm, 18 hours give or take. You were knocked unconscious for almost a full day."
He said as Vanessa let out a small gasp and fell back on her tiny bed in shock. 18 hours!? She couldn't believe, that she was unconscious for that long!? Oh, god. What will Sabrina think, when she noticed that her big sister wasn't home, yet? What will the gang think? They're probably worried sick of her! She needs to go back home and reassure them that she was okay, but first she needs to deal with big ugly.
"What are you going to do with me?" She asked as Gantu grinned and grabbed a weapon offscreen.
"It's not what I'm going to do to you, it's what you are going to do for me. You will tell us the secret of the Zennatrix, and if you don't, well..." He said as he pressed a button on the device and electricity shot out of it. "We'll make you."
He said as he laughed manically and the screen flickered a bit, before turning off. Gantu's taunting laughter played on Vanessa's head like if it was on a loop as she flopped on her prison bed and rested her head on her pillow. Tears started appearing in her eyes as she finally realized the seriousness of this situation, she was trapped on a room by a derange maniac, she lost her swords and without the help from her friends or Zeda, she was doomed. Never before in her life that she ever felt this helpless! Normally, she was very optimistic and confident, that she will come out of any situation okay, but this time she wasn't so sure.
"Kevin...Gwen...Ship...Zeda…Mikey...Sabrina...Ben, please save me. I can't do this on my own. Someone please come and help me...Somebody...anybody."
Vanessa said, while squeezing her eyes shut as she cried softly on her pillow. Vanessa continued sobbing on her pillow, before stopping as the door to her prison suddenly starting opening. Causing Vanessa to hug herself to the wall as she wipes away her tears and mentally prepares herself to fight, just as a figure stepped out of the shadows and much to her surprise, it wasn't Gantu...in fact it wasn't even a Kroglen!
The figure that stepped out of the shadows was a teenage girl that seems to be about her age and height, with white hair in the shape of a bob cut, green eyes that almost looks reptilian and pale skin. The girl was wearing a green jumpsuit with dark green markings, black goggles with green lenses, black gloves with green lines and green boots with black lines. But, what defiantly caught Vanessa's attention, was a large green tail that seems to be sprouting out of the mysterious girl's back side.
"Hello, I'll be you're hero for the day. My name is Chameleon, nice to meet you." Chameloen said with a cheerful grin as Vanessa stared at her in bewilderment. Surprised by the sudden turn of events.
And done! Man was this fun to write! Sorry for the lack of any real action in this chapter, and that Vanessa only appeared at the end, but don't worry! Next chapter we will defiantly focus more on Vanessa, and can I say that I'm stoked for the next chapter! There will be new friends, a rematch with Captain Gantu and a really special surprise that I have for you guys, that will defiantly knock you're socks off!
Anyway as always, I will talk to you all later.
