Chapter 8 Battle

Some time later, Shego made it to the Bridge. She cautiously looked in from the shadows.

She could see the back of Dodgers' head in the Command Chair, and the Cadet at a console to one side. It struck her as funny to see a pig and a duck flying a space ship, and she had to clap a hand over her mouth and turn away for a minute. "I'd swear I was in a cartoon," she thought.

She composed herself, and looked around the corner again. Neither one was looking her way.

She ran toward Dodgers as quietly as she could.

"Say, Cadet, what was the code to get into the games files, again?" asked Dodgers, fiddling with a remote control.

The Cadet glanced up and saw Shego. She paid him no attention, as he wasn't the target.

"Uh, Cap'n Dodgers..." said the Cadet, staring.

"No, that's not it, I already tried it," said Dodgers, pushing a button. He dropped the remote. "Whoops."

He leaned over to get it just as Shego arrived and slammed her fists down where he had been. The back of the chair broke and fell off.

"HEY!" yelled Dodgers, "What hap..." he turned and looked at Shego. "Wow! Hiya, doll! What brings you to my neck of the woods?"

"The desire for your death," said Shego.

"Who is she, Cap'n?" asked the Cadet.

"I've no idea," said Dodgers, "Unless you're that little number I met on Atlas VII. You're strong enough to be," he added, looking at the chair.

With a yell, Shego jumped the chair and tried to kick Dodgers in the head.

"YIPE!" said Dodgers, ducking.

Shego's foot smashed the console and got stuck. While she struggled to get free, Dodgers ran from the Bridge, followed by the Cadet.

She finally had to power up her plasma fists to get free, and she followed after Dodgers.
