A/N: here's chapter eight. Please R/R.
"So, Jimmy? What do we do this time? We're stuck in here with a mob of aliens with no chance of escape. How could things get any worse?" Cindy sighed.
And as Murphy's Laws would have it, the two heard heavy footsteps from behind. They turned to see Poultra walking toward them, mouth agape, eyes watching them hungrily. Cindy was frozen in her tracks. She looked over to see Jimmy hard in thought about something. What it was she couldn't guess. All she knew was that there was a giant chicken monster running at them. Her life flashed before her eyes.

Jimmy stood in deep thought. How could they get through the doors? Then he remembered: he had read about synchronization electronic doors. They all ran on a constant power supply. There had to be a fuse somewhere… of course! On the doors themselves. If he could send a powerful-enough shock into the circuits, he could disrupt the system.
"Cindy?" he asked, aware of Poultra already bearing down on them. "After we run away, I need you to get me a Shock Prod. I think I know how to open the doors."
Poultra was now only five feet away, but neither of the two found that they were frozen from fright. Poultra grinned a malicious smile as it roared in victory.
"Runnn!"
Poultra looked down, its prey was gone. It looked around with its three eyes, but found nothing.
"I- is it gone y- yet, Jimmy?" Cindy shivered.
"I'll g- go check," Jimmy replied, peering out from under the bench. Poultra was facing the other way, squawking loudly. Jimmy beckoned for Cindy to come out, and she complied.
They were startled by a noise from behind them. Cindy didn't give herself a chance to look before she turned and planted a flying kick onto the Yolkian's "face". Jimmy reached out and grabbed the Prod before it fell onto the ground.
"Lets go!" Jimmy said as he ran down towards the entrance of the stadium. Cindy quickly caught up.
When they made it to the door, Jimmy quickly jammed the Prod into the circuits on the side. The sparked and flickered, but nothing happened.
"Well, Nerdtron, I guess your brilliant plan didn't work aftera--"
The door fell from its place. Jimmy grinned in an I-told-you-so look before sprinting hastily away from the stadium.

"Where's Goddard?" Cindy asked upon arriving at the lab.
"I told him that if he ever escaped, he would go to the lab and try to find out more about the Yolkians," Jimmy shrugged. He opened the lab door and ran inside. Cindy followed intently.
"Goddard?" Jimmy hollered. His voice echoed eerily, and reminded Cindy of the underground cells. She suddenly realized how famished she really was. Three whole days without food, but she had managed to drink some water she had found in her prison. It probably wasn't very healthy; however, it was the only thing to drink. Her thoughts were interrupted when Goddard barked crazily at the sound of his master's voice.
Cindy stuck another piece of chicken into her mouth. She sat in Jimmy's dining room, while the boy genius tinkered around in his lab. As she was about to down a fork-full of rice, Jimmy burst into the room.
"Neutron? Can't you at least wait until I'm finished?" she asked, throwing down her fork, which clattered noisily onto her plate.
"It'll only take a second. I've discovered how to fight the aliens. You see, they have a central command ship just out of our atmosphere, and…"
"You mean we have to leave the atmosphere again?" Cindy asked.
"Yeah, I already souped up my rocket, so that the turbo engines can get us through easier than before." Cindy remembered the first time they all had tried to leave the atmosphere. It almost ended in disaster.
Cindy shook her head. There was no denying it; it was inevitable. She had better just go along with it. "Jimmy, if we're going to go, you'd better at least have something to eat first."
Jimmy laughed awkwardly, nodding his head in agreement.
Finally done. I've been really busy lately; so sorry this chapter came out really late. Please review, as it helps me write faster.
