Kitty- Hola! Well, this is the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing,
Gaddo- Yay! Let me read it!
Chapter 3- White Walls of Emptiness
Eagle woke up to darkness. The surface beneath him was cold and hard. He turned his head to find out where he was, and he realized something was covering his eyes. He reached up hurridley and worked a mask off of his face. Whatever it was, it came off easily. He blinked as a bright white light filled his vision. He blinked and covered his eyes until they grew use to the sudden change in light.
When his eyes no longer stung, Eagle could look around him. He was sitting on a table-like surface, and a glass dome covered him. A small blue button that said 'release' was at the end of the dome by his feet, and he reached out and pressed it. The dome began to slide off to the left. Eagle slowly climbed off the table, and looked at the mask still in his hand. It was a visor with a black screen over it. Wires ran from it to the dome- table. A small control panel was on the side. It had two buttons labeled 'on' and 'off', and two dials.
Eagle studied it for a moment, and then set it down on the table. When he stood up, he realized he had only his pants on. All his armor had been removed. The air in the room he was in was cold, and goose bumps ran up his arms. He hugged himself to get warmer.
The room was white. White walls, white floors, white ceiling. There was just the table in the center, and nothing else except white lights set deep in the walls behind glass. There were no doorways or windows. Eagle looked around helplessly for a moment. Then, a girl's voice echoed through the room. "Sorry if it's cold. I couldn't revive your mind and have you warm at the same time. You couldn't get drowsy."
Eagle looked around him. There was no one in the room with him. Someone laughed. "I'm speaking through a microphone. I can't risk seeing you face-to-face. You might be lethal, you know." Eagle frowned. "But I'm not." The voice laughed again. "Yes, but I have no way of knowing, Eagle." Eagle sighed. "You know my name. Did you scan my mind?" he asked. "No," said the voice. "Just your DNA." "Well, if you scan my mind, you'll see that I'm not lethal." There was silence for a moment. Then, "I won't scan your mind. Those are your thoughts, and besides, you have been an energy source for too long. Your mind is weak. My systems might corrupt your mind." Eagle thought about it. He said down lightly on the table. "Who are you?" he asked. "I can't tell you." She said. "Okay." Eagle said. "Where am I?" There was a pause. "In my ship." "Can I have any details?" he asked, slightly frustrated. "Sorry, Eagle. I can't tell you." "Well why am I here?" he exploded. His voice echoed through the room. No one answered for a few seconds. "Don't yell." She said. "Why not?" he said grumpily. "Because I can take your voice if you don't." "What do you mean, take my voice?" Eagle asked. Then, a jolt went through him. He coughed. But no sound came out. At first, he thought he had gone deaf. But he could hear her voice. "I can take your voice like that. But don't worry; I can only do that in this room." Eagle felt another jolt. "What the." he said. He could hear himself. He rubbed his throat. The girl spoke again. "You are on my ship because you came at me with your weapons on. I could only figure that you were going to attack, so I attacked. In doing that, I knocked you out. So I've revived you to send you back with a warning." Eagle was silent for a moment. "You knocked me out?" he said disbelievingly. "But.. Hey, what happened to my GTO?" he asked, alarmed. The girl spoke lightly. "It was destroyed. I have the remains. You can take them back if you want." Eagle's mouth dropped open. "You destroyed my GTO? Holy. DESTROYED IT?" he yelled, but then held back his anger to avoid losing his voice again. "So how do I get back?" She was silent for a moment. "Good question. I guess I'll drop you off. You have to contact your crew to keep them from attacking. If they attack, I'll have to drag all of you back where they came from. Your ship will be in no condition for carrying passengers when I'm done with it." Eagle smirked. "What makes you think you can beat my ship?" The girl laughed through the microphone. "I have experience with battle, Eagle. Far much more experience than you. Now, are you ready to go?" Eagle frowned but didn't comment on her last response. She sounded too sure. "Yes, but let me talk to my crew." "Fine." She said. There was a small clicking noise. Eagle turned to find a computer screen uncovered on the wall. Eagle walked over to it and typed in the signal code to his ship.
Geo heard a beep and looked over to his left at the control panel. A red light was flashing, signaling an incoming call. He hurriedly pressed the receive button. Eagle's face appeared on the small screen on the panel. "Eagle!" said Geo excitedly. Zazu turned from the computer he was working on. Geo put Eagle's face on full-screen. Zazu sprang up. "Eagle!" he said excitedly. "Where are you?" Geo asked.
"Where are you?" came Geo's voice. Eagle shrugged. "Some ship. Listen; don't attack anything that comes near my ship. The captain of this ship is dropping me off."
Geo looked confused. "Wait, you're on a ship?"
"Yes. And that ship should be coming near you. Don't power up the weapons."
"Okay." Geo said uncertainly. "Who's ship is it?"
Eagle shrugged again. "She won't tell me."
"She?" Geo inquired. Eagle looked annoyed. "Yes. She won't tell me anything."
Zazu came on-screen. "Hey, Eagle, are you okay?"
Eagle smiled softly. "I'm as good as new. Now, disengage the weapons. I don't how long it'll take me to get there, but." Then, the signal was cut short. Geo and Zazu's faces were replaced by a blank screen. "Hey, what'd you do that for?" Eagle said, irritated. There was no response from the girl for a few moments. Then, her voice came through the microphone. "Hang on. that wasn't me." Eagle left the screen which folded up back into the wall and sat down on the table. "Then what was it?" he asked. "I. don't know." she replied shakily. Eagle smirked as he leaned back on his elbows. "I guess your ship isn't as all-powerful as you say it is."
"Don't say anything else, Eagle." She warned.
Eagle looked up at the white ceiling, quiet now. There were a few minutes of silence. Then, "Eagle! Hang on to something!"
Eagle gripped the edge of the table, sensing the urgent message in her voice. An explosion rocked the ship, nearly throwing Eagle across the room. It was a violent tremble, making everything jolt and vibrate. The lights set in the walls flickered and went out, making the room dark. "Hello?" Eagle said uncertainly. "Eagle, hang on again." She said. Eagle heard odd clicks sounding in the background as she said it.
Eagle again gripped the edge of the table and braced himself. There was another tremble, this time not as bad. The ship itself seemed to lurch, though. The lights flickered back on briefly. "What happened?" Eagle asked, still gripping the table. She didn't respond for a long while. She told him to hang on to something three more times, and each time the trembles were weaker and weaker. After a while, her voice came on line, along with the strange clicks. "There. Damn, we took damage."
Eagle raised an eyebrow. "We? Is there someone else on this ship besides you?"
The girl laughed. "There's you, Eagle. And me. That's all. Now, if you promise to be good, I'll let you out."
Eagle stood up. "Are we at my ship?" he asked. "No." she replied. "I had to jump to black space. You won't be going back to your ship for a while."
Eagle's mouth hung open. "You jumped to black space? Why!?" he exclaimed.
"Because, Eagle, I was being attacked by your ship."
"WHAT?" he exclaimed again. "They couldn't have been attacking! I was just talking to them! I would have seen Geo."
"Eagle," she said impatiently. "Is the battleship that you ride the only one in your fleet?" Eagle was silent as he realized what she meant. "Now, if you do anything bad when I let you out, I'll paralyze you. So come on." There was a hissing noise, and the smooth, seamless wall disappeared to reveal a small hallway. Eagle looked cautiously down the hallway before walking out of the room.
Kitty- Wee-oo, that was long. I'll split this chapter in half to make me happy. Gaddo- Hee, hee. She destroyed his ship. Kitty- Yes, she did. Later chapters in this story will make you happy, Gaddo. Gaddo- Oooooh! What'll happen? Kitty- I need at least one more review. Again, type Yay or Nay to tell me if you like it or not. Only then can I carry on. Gaddo- Why do you always want reviews? Kitty- Because, dear yami, I need to know if people are actually reading it. There's no point in writing the next chapter if no one will read it anyway. Gaddo- Ohhhhh.. Well, I wanna know what happens, so if you love me or something, please review!
