The Hologram Man, Part II
Zee's POV
"This is where I was born." I said as I looked around the lab. It was Ro's turn to speak. "Ok you win but next time it's my turn." I looked over at her. She wore a bittersweet smile. I knew she was happy for me but I also knew she wanted to find her family.
We both heard footsteps and turned around. It was Dr. Selig. He saw the hologram of me and the people who built me we were looking at and started to tell us his secret. The conscience he implanted in me, the one that Agent Bennett had mistaken for a bug implanted by terrorists.
There was a loud "bang" and a voice was heard over the intercom telling the ship to evacuate. We started to run, but I turned back and picked up the pocket watch Selig had dropped. I looked back to see Selig and Ro far ahead of me and I ran to catch up with them. Ro looked over her shoulder and saw that I was far behind. She stopped and turned "Zee! Hurry up!" she called to me. "Keep running!" I yelled back while waving my hand, trying to catch up with her and avoid falling derbies. Well, she didn't. She stood planted on the spot waiting for me to catch up with her. I smiled in spite of myself. I finally caught up with her and we ran side by side, like we did so many times before. "What's with the goofy grin?" she asked almost laughing. I smiled more but didn't reply.
Dr. Selig, Ro and I were in the room with all the emergency pods. People were running around franticly trying to find an empty pod so they could get off the sinking ship. Dr. Selig's assistant ran up the stairs yelling to him "We need to get off this ship sir!" She dragged him away as I watched horrified. "Dr. Selig!" I yelled in a frantic scream. "I'm Zeta!" He didn't hear me. They jumped into their pod and took off. I ran out the door onto the deck with Ro close behind. I watched them fly away from the ship.
The rather large man, whom we were in the sub with earlier, was shooting at the pods. Agent Bennet pushed him down, but it was too late, Dr. Selig's pod was crashing into the ocean and soon it was gone, and so was my chance at freedom.
Ro's POV
I watched as the burning pod crashed into the ocean. My heart sank and I looked at Zee. "I'm never going to be free." He said in a sad wisper. I looked back at the ocean. I tried to change the subject "C'mon, we hafta get out of here." I said with a shaky voice.
We turned and ran back to the pods. Zee jumped inside the driver's seat of one as I hopped in the passenger seat and we took off underwater.just as the ship exploded. It was almost laughable, whenever we were in any sort of sticky situation we would always get out just in time. I looked back at the ship ready to pee my pants. The problem was, there was no ship. 2 more seconds and we would have been fish treats. I was either rather hilarious or I was going mad. And I finally concluded the second of the 2 choices was correct.
After a while of "driving" (we were underwater) I looked at Zee, his left hand was on the wheel while his right hand rested in the space in between us. He wore the same grim expression as he had earlier. I don't think I've ever seen him so sad. Tears welled up in my eyes, poor Zee, never got a break. I gently set my hand on top of his. That snapped him out of his trance and he looked sharply down at his hand and then up at me. "We'll find another way." I said softly to him, and then using the same line I had as the day I met him, I said "We'll get you you're freedom Zee, I know it."
(A/N) This is my first fanfic ever, so what do you think? Love it, hate it, don't care? Do you think I should continue? Or just stop while I'm ahead? Then tell me please! I even accept flames, I actually like them, they tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can fix it. So please, please, please review.
Disclaimer: I don't own "The Zeta Project" or any of its characters. I do own nothing, so if you wanna sue me that's what you'll get. Nothing.
Oh yeah, Kids WB (stupid network) might cancel TZP!!!! And we MUST do something about it! We are NOT letting Zeta and Ro go without a fight! So please visit this http://www.geocities.com/groundwire2040/lettercampaign.html site and help save Zeta!!
