At this point, I would like to point out a couple of things:
Kat in this story, is kat23a from fanfiction.net
Daz, in this story, is just plain Daz from fanfiction.net
Ally is obviously Invader Ally from fanfiction.net
Both Daz and Kat have some fantastic stories and I suggest you read them if you havenÕt already.
Also, please ignore whatever stupid mistakes my Word program is doing to my fic, if you can. IÕm trying to fix it as it is.
ThatÕsÉall I wanted to say. Thanks once again.
Kat ran up and down the hallways, looking for a way out, or at least a clean bathroom. But each way she chose, it seemed she got even more lost, which was a pretty difficult thing to do, seeing as how clear, readable signs were posted at all available exits. But as it was known, if anybody could get lost in a brown paper bag, it was Kat.
ÒI need a sign.Ó Kat moaned, passing two red ÒEXITÓ signs. ÒPlease, canÕt somebody just give me a hint?Ó
Just then, she heard voices. Creeping closer to the door the voices seemed to be coming from, she peeked inside.
It was a circular room painted white. There were wires all around, leading to the center of the room, where a chair was planted. KatÕs eyes widened. Jhonen was in the room just then, and speaking to the person in the chair. Kat couldnÕt see the personÕs face.
Jhonen was talking now. It sounded as if he was threatening the person in the chair. Kat strained to hear the exact words, but she was too far away, and she was defiantly not going any closer.
Suddenly, J.V. stopped talking, and looking in KatÕs direction. She quivered with fear. Had he heard her? Now it was of most importance to not make any noiseÉ
Kat sneezed. She couldnÕt help it.
Immediately, two penguins jumped her and dragged her over the their leader, who smiled.
ÒWell, well, I see youÕve discovered all roads inevitably lead to Rome. I donÕt know how you escaped, but it doesnÕt matter; I was just going to send for you anyway.Ó
She gulped, ÒYou were?Ó
Jhonen nodded to a nearby penguin, which pressed in a few controls on the computerÕs keyboard. A second chair, back to back with the first, arose from the floor. Kat was then shoved roughly into it and strapped in. An odd device was attached to her head.
ÒWhatÕs this odd device attached to my head?Ó Kat wondered. A sad little voice behind her answered; ÒItÕs a colander.Ó
Kat was too shocked to wonder who was answering her. ÒA colander? Why?Ó
ÒIts round metal surface is ideal for transmitting brain waves.Ó Said the voice.
This meant as much to Kat as the prospect of life matters to a rock. ÒSo?Ó She asked.
ÒYou donÕt know whatÕs going to happen?Ó replied the voice with a bit of disapprovement.
Just then, the machine buzzed to life. A thousand volts of electricity flowed through the wires attached to the colander on KatÕs head. This shock was a bit much for her, and she began to scream. Somewhere in the back of her mind, while being introduced to so much pain, she noticed that the voice was also screaming, and Kat would have felt sorry for it, had she not been going through the same thing.
She needed to focus on something, anything. She searched the white room for something to stare at, and focused on a pit of chocolate pudding on the floor that no one had bothered to clean up.
As Kat was staring at the piece of pudding, trying to ignore the pain, she realized something. ÒIÕm hungry.Ó
(MeanwhileÉ)
Ally was itching all over with impatience. She sat in her Voot cruiser glaring venomously at Daz. Quite a while before, she had targeted KatÕs location on her computer, but before they could leave, Daz had insisted that they cram as many ÔvaluableÕ items in the trunk space as possible.
Now it was an hour later, and the two paranormal abnormalities, as Ally affectionately thought of them, were still finding room in her cruiser for their enormously useless items. Every time Ally found the heart to complain, one or the other would fix her with a stare and murmur, ÒItÕs better to be safe than sorry.Ó In truth, she was ready to just forget Daz and Dib and go off to try and rescue Kat alone.
Not that she was alone, as both her computer and Tinew constantly reminded her. Tinew was whining and complaining that he needed to use the bathroom, and as she tried to explain to the android that it wasnÕt even possible for him to do so, the VCÕs computer kept insisting that all Tinew needed was a warm cup of tea to feel better.
Frankly, the alienÕs nerves were shot, and at long last both Dib and Daz climbed in next to her. Both of them felt the need to personally experiment with all the buttons on the dashboard, until Ally physically restrained them with seatbelts, despite their half-hearted protests.
Ally then locked the computer into auto control towards the point on the map she had previously targeted. All they needed to do now was wait.
Five minutes later, her eyelids were heavy with boredom. The computer did not help to remedy this in the least, instead offering Dib a cup of tea, and in the minutes that followed, the fascinated boy would constantly ask questions such as; ÒHey, did you know your computer can make tea? Actual drinkable tea! Imagine that.Ó And other things of that nature.
Conversations with Daz were equally fruitless. Being enemies for so long, neither could find a topic to discuss that would not in some way insult the other, and so Daz took to practicing her mysterious look of contentment. Unfortunately for her, this had no effect whatsoever on either Ally or Tinew, who ignored it or made faces back at her. So instead, Daz stared out the window, trying to ignore the reality of how high up they were.
In the end, they did arrive in the middle of the Artic. The two humanoids were quite comfortable in their heavy layered trench coats, and Tinew was made of metal and couldnÕt feel, but it was a different story entirely for Ally.
Never having seeing snow before, she carelessly hopped out of her cruiser, falling knee-deep into packed snow, and shrieked. Not only was this stuff cold, but it was also wet. The snow around her feet sizzled and melted as her boots being to burn. Quickly, she rose up on her spider legs, hanging several feet above the wondrous wasteland of filthy snow.
Dib laughed. Tinew glared at Dib, and pushed his head into the snow. In response, Daz booted Tinew about twenty feet ahead. Ally caught him in her arms and sighed. What had she gotten herself into?
(Whee! Next chapter; what exactly happened to Kat! What happens to the rescue party! And the exact copy of the Declaration of Independence translated into Swedish!)
(Also, IÕm taking forms of people who want to be in this fic (WHO ARE NOT ALREADY IN THEM, KAT!) So if you wanna be in this frightening tale of doom and destruction, leave it in your review and IÕll stick you in it!)
