DISCLAIMER: **gets dragged out of bed by the Scholastic Police**

Me: Hey! What the – I was dreaming about Shawn Ashmore! You bast –

Police: Where Marco?

Me: **whistles innocently**

Marco in closet: Help! I'm in the closet!

Me: **throws shoe at closet** Um, that was the gnomes. They only talk when they hungry.

Police: Are you sure?

Me: Yes, would you like a donut?

Police: WRONG! **start to poke me with cattleprods**

NOTE: Phew! I wrote two chapters in one day. Not that I can do much else. . .anyway, uh, I don't have anything to say. Read on, peoples!

F-RECAP-LE: Jake and his posse manage to get the Nisk to help them in their search for Rachel, Cassie, and the rebel Nisk. And I got Marco smacked in the nuts **giggles** They use a tracing device planted on an unsuspecting Bobby to find him and the other rebel combins. Turns out they are actually using their good ole free will now, and want to rebel against their masters. Ah, the chaos of it all. Smells like chicken, don't you agree? We now return to Rachel and Cassie's screwed up situation. . .

Rachel –

If they thought I was going to "reproduce" with some half Marco dinosaur freak, they've been sniffing too many spaceship fumes.

"It was Marco! They must've found one of his hairs and cloned themselves Marc- dinoth- errr!" Cassie's voice suddenly got thick. She was having trouble talking. "Rrrreegggrrrrrr!"

She's changing! Lock her away! Kermu said urgently. They started to lead her away, but Cassie thrashed wildly.

"GRAAAAAHHH!"

"Oh my God!" Cassie was flailing wildly like an out of control crocodile. I looked into her eyes. They weren't the usual somber brown eyes. They weren't even human. They were a menacing yellow color with black slits in the middle. She wasn't human! Cassie stuck a large clawed foot at Kermu, forcing them to collapse into a little puddle of Nisk. Their stings were having no effect on her.

"What the hell is going on? I thought combins were mindless!!" I yelled at the fallen Nisk.

She is different. The collaborating fools did not realize that turning a being with free will into a combin will overload the brain and make her uncontrollable! Kermu said as the little Nisk piled themselves on top of each other to reform the body. Cassie rammed her lethal feet into some computers. Sparks flew everywhere. The Nisk tried to shoot at her with their weapons, but they didn't seem to affect her.

"Cassie!" I cried.

Combins! Kermu roared. He was calling for Bobby and the others. No one came. WHERE ARE THEY!?

Sir, they are not in the base! a Nisk called.

WHAT!?

I hoped they had realized they weren't equals with these guys after all, and that they were just being used. Good for them, if they did. But they were pretty thick, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. I wondered were they were.

Prototype combin! Subdue this beast! Kermu yelled at the Marcosaur.

"Marcosaur" stomped over to me and grabbed me in a bear hug.

"Not ME, you idiot! You're just as stupid as the real thing!" I gave it a good kick in the shins and it let go. It lumbered towards the raging "Casseratops".

I noticed that no one was paying much attention to me, so I decided to morph. My skin got leatehry and my nose spurted outwards. Two long tusks grew from my mouth. Then I started to grow.

Let's see how these freaks handle a full-grown African elephant.

HHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Now I had their attention. I proceeded to stomp the crap out of anything that could possibly be stomped.

What is THAT!?

They fired a few wild shots at me, but it was so chaotic that they missed. Nisk were everywhere, and in there little bodies they could do nothing to stop us. Their bites wouldn't get through my tough elephant hide. I glanced to see what was happening to Cassie.

Casseratops had a leg in Marcosaur's jaws.

"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed. She tried to kick Marcosaur away, but he held fast, like a persistant little poodle.

Cassie!I lumbered over to help her. The Marcosaur, which was about the same size as the real Marco, took no notice of me as I wrapped my trunk around him. Casseratops had grown noticably bigger than the real Cassie, but still not as big as me. I tugged hard.

"HRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Cassie screamed. Marcosaur didn't let go and I ended up painfully dislocating Cassie's leg. Marcosaur finally acknowledged me and swung a clawed fist into my trunk.

Owwww! I yelled. I instinctively let go of them. I looked back and saw that the Nisk had regained their composure and were preparing to shoot at us. I knew it was impossible for an elephant to dive out of the way, so I did what I do best. I charged.

I let loose a earth-shaking elephant trumpet and ran straight for the Nisk. Like many creatures that suddenly see something the size of a truck coming at them (except maybe squirrels), they panicked and dove out of the way. I bought Cassie a couple seconds.

Cassie, if you can understand me, get the hell out of here! I screamed into her head. She looked at me, but continued to try to fight off Marcosaur.

Dammit. I rammed my large head into the wall, making a very unnattractive hole. Then I wrapped my trunk around Cassie and dragged her out, Marcosaur and all.

Shoot! Shoot! Kermu roared. They did, but I was already outside and Cassie and Marco were blocking the hole. They had to have been hit, but nothing was happening.

Their weapons don't work on combins. I realized. I wondered why, for about a sixth of a second. Then Nisk started to spill into the hallway. come one you guys. I started to drag Cassie and the combin down the hallway with no particular destination in mind. Suddenly Cassie slashed at my trunk.

"GROOOOOOO!" she growled at me. Her yellow eyes glared.

Hey, I'm on your side, Cassie! I said. She slashed at me again. Ow! I let go of her.

Prototype combin! Attack the large gray beast! I heard Kermu yell. Marcosaur growled and leapt at me. He landed on my head and started to tear at my skin.

Get off! I shook my head wildly and tried to pry him off with my trunk. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my trunk. Cassie had it in her jaws and was biting down. Hard.

Cassie! What are you doing!? she shook her head, digging even deeper. AAAAAAAHHHHH!

She wasn't following the Nisk's orders, she was just fighting me out of instinct. Her human mind had been replaced by that of a violent, crazy monster. Marcosaur, on the other hand, had reached my back and was ramming his sharp fists into it, about 2 inches from my spine. I tried to stomp, bt I was getting woozy from the loss f blood.

Cassie. . . I said weakly. Her eyes showed nothing. They were the heartless eyes of a killer. But I wasn't about to give up. I lunged furiously at the Nesk, taking Cassie and Marcosaur with me.

AHH! They yelle as I crushed several thousand of them. They started to shoot at me and I felt numb. Before I passed out I heard a deep rumbling noise. It sounded as if the entire building were being torn apart.

THEM! I heard Kermu yell.

Wooooo-eeeeee, I actually had a lot of fun writing these two chapters for some reason. Anyway, I probably will be slacking off on the updating, but definitely not as long as 2 weeks again. My excuse this time is that I just got my hands on the 5th Harry Potter book and by golly I'm going to READ all 900 pages if it takes the rest of my life. . .So uh, entertain yourselves with the other awesome stories on FF.net and if you haven't read all my stories….reviewing them would be nice. Good/Bad. Oh I'm making a new goal and that is to make the number or reviews I ever got for all my stories EQUAL to the number of reviews I've given. . .weird, I know. Leave me alone. I have 200 reviews to write. . .

THE HAPPY KORNER! (Reader's Response)

GO RED-TAILS – Hey you're a new face. Well, technically I can't see your face, but you're new! Um, yeah I'm somewhat of a nut. And, uh, I didn't understand some of your review. . .but I got the "I love your friggin stories" part! Thanks!

SurrealSerpent – Thanks I'm all better now! I don't remember the name of that fic! ARRGGHH!!! I have to remember to put these stories on my faves list from now on. . .anyway yeah, I'm really sorry. . .And yeah I liked writing THE TASK. Cassie torture, gotta love it!

Stink E. Burrito (SEB) – Don't **gulp** die? **realizes it never occurred to her that she might die in surgery** Holy crap. . .Thank God I read that review AFTER I came home from the hospital. It would've given me nightmares. . .Anywhoo I didn't die and I don't plan on dying until all my fanfictions are typed out and sitting in FanFiction.net. Yeah, being twisted ROCKS!!

EsotericEric – I'm doing fine I think, and heres the chapters you were waiting for! Hehe.

Kristen Goddess – The hospital did have computers. . .but they were on another floor really far away. The "I am Old Remote" fic was on Fanfiction.net, but I can't remember the fic's title/author!! Gosh, I feel really evil now. . .sorry. . .And yeah, I actually will take your advice. Hehe. Nartec havoc time, people. Surgery like mine probably does only take a couple days. . .but my doc were retarded. I swear I think they left a scalpel or something in there. . .anyway it was only like 2 weeks. Not that long, right? Writing doesn't stress me out. . .it relaxes me. Hehe, I never do anything stressfull. I'm lazier than. . .a fat cat with no legs.

DawnOfEast – Thanks. Wow, I got a lot of well wishes. That's good, at least no one was hoping I'd croak, hehe. At least I don't think anyone did **gives a shifty eye at some people**

Jinako-Chan - **Drowns in the basket of plushies** Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! So soft. . . Yeah hospitals suck a whole lot. And they stuck me in this room with the ugliest painting an OOGLEH flower. I wanted to burn it. Grrr. . .they couldn't have at least put me in a room with a pretty flower? Even a bloody hand strangling a puppy would've been better. **pictures that** Oh my god, I really am getting twisted. **kicks self** Stop it Freak Apple. I definitely have to go back out into the sunlight. . .eh. . .
