Let's Find My Parents!
by Imagigirl20
Hey, guys! I'm sorry I've been away for so long, but I've had little to no access to a computer for updates. By the way, I hope everyone had/has a Merry Christmas/Happy New Year! I'll be honest, though, guys: I haven't given this story, or any of my others, a lot of thought. But here's something exciting! I have submitted one of the stories I wrote to a real publishing company and am awaiting approval to move forward! Something I wrote could actually be turned into a children's book! But anyway, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to Mech-X4, only the character/s I created.
Leo, Ryan and Mark snuck into Harper Industries undetected, thanks to the combination of Ryan's and Leo's powers taking out the security cameras. As the three continued down the hall, Mark held up a hand to stop them.
"I've seen enough spy movies to know that there's some kind of trap", he said, and sprayed some cologne.
Sure enough, some red security beams came into view.
"I love being right", said Mark.
"Ugh!" said Ryan, holding his nose. "What is that stuff, ode de skunk?"
"Real men would understand that this stuff is a chick magnet."
"Anyone would understand that that stuff STINKS."
"We can argue your weird sibling rivalry stuff later", said Leo. "Can we focus, please?"
Mark nodded, cracked his knuckles, squared his shoulders, and dove onto the floor, avoiding the beams. He worked himself across the floor, spinning and flipping and ducking until finally, he flipped a switch on the wall that turned off the lasers.
"And you laughed at me for taking that tumbling class four years ago", Mark said as Leo and Ryan joined him across the hall.
"NIce moves, bro", said Ryan, fist-pounding him. "Let's go."
…
Megan Grey held the last beam steady as Seth watched on from the window. He didn't notice Ryan, Leo and Mark slip through the door and over to the pit of monster juice.
"Alright, what's the plan?" said Mark.
"Alright, I'll get Megan, Spyder and Harris's attention and get the monsters out", said Ryan. "Mark, you figure out a way to tip over this vat so it'll tip over into the vents, which will take it down to the basement, where Leo will rig it to explode. Once everyone's clear, we blow this place and never have to worry about the ooze again."
"I like it", said Leo. "Going down to the basement by myself I'm not too crazy with, but I can deal with it for a short while."
"You're a super genius who's afraid of being in a basement by himself?" said Mark, raising an eyebrow.
"Hey! You try being in solitary confinement in a basement of a submarine for five years or more!"
"Guys, break it up!" said Ryan. "We've got a job to do, here."
"Right", said Leo, slipping on his Mech-X night goggles. "See you guys in a few."
Leo slipped back out the door and down to the basement.
"Alright, this is it, bro", said Ryan. "Good luck."
Before they could separate, an energy field surrounded them. Seth Harper stepped away from the switch on the wall.
"Good luck with what, boys?" he said, smirking.
…
"Alright", Leo muttered to himself, getting out the tools he needed to build a bomb from his backpack. "Set the charges, get out of the basement. Set the charges, get out of the basement."
There was a thud from a few feet away.
"Fast. Set the charges and get out of the basement FAST."
But before he could do anything else, he was lifted off the ground and thrown against the wall. Megan came into view, her eyes narrowed. Seth emerged from behind her, smiling.
…
Leo cried out as he was thrown into the energy cell with Mark and Ryan. They ran over and helped him to his feet.
"Well", said Leo, breathing heavily, "this obviously didn't work out the way we hoped."
"We need a Plan B", said Mark.
Ryan focused his powers on the switch, but yelled as he received a shock to his brain.
"Ryan!" said Mark. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah", said Ryan, groaning, "but I don't think we're getting out of here anytime soon."
"Let me try", said Leo.
He shot out a bolt of lightning, but all it did was ricochet all around the energy field until finally striking the ground in front of Mark, who jumped back.
"Okay, clearly that's not working!" said Mark.
"And nothing else will, boys."
Seth came into view in front of them. To his left were Megan, Spyder and Harris. To his right were Ryan's parents.
"You boys are mine now", said Seth. "And no one is going to stop me this time."
Yeah, I know, it's not much, but it's been a long day and I'm tired. Plus, at the moment, I don't feel very well. See you next time, guys!
