Disclaimer: I do not own RECESS!

Spinelli Woods, Esq.: Yep, I had to use a little G-rated language myself, lol! Yep, you were right, and let's see if they get rescued or not!

Chapter Twenty: WAR!!

"Dr. Benedict?" Bob asked Vince. "THAT is Dr. Benedict?"

"Yeah, don't you remember?" Vince asked him back. "I can't believe you didn't recognize him!"

Bob crossed his arms. "Well, it HAS been a few years ya know."

"And now, my young workers, it is time for you to go bye-bye!" Benedict grinned. "MEN!"

At that moment, the zombie-fied counselors came into the room and surrounded the place in order to prevent anyone from escaping. Everyone was really freaking out now. Everyone except Bob. He had had enough of this nonsense.

"Hey, come on guys!" he yelled over everyone. "We outnumber these guys, so let's take them on!"

"Huh, why didn't we think of that?" Lance asked Vince, who shrugged.

As soon as Bob said it, the kids realized that he was right. There had to be over 200 hundred kids in there. Once their self-confidence was restored, they all charged in the many different directions at the counselors, who were unprepared for the attack.

Outside, Lawson was still contemplating on whether to go in or not. Sure, he wanted to help "save the world" and all, but you had to admit that going up against a mad man was pretty terrifying.

He suddenly felt a heavy hand on his shoulder, a feeling that he did not like at all. He looked behind his shoulder and up some only to find the creepy bald guy glaring at him...and looking ridiculous with a banana peel on top of his head.

"Heh, heh, take a trip to the fruit stand, did we?" Lawson asked with a shaky voice.

"Very funny, Whompy," the man growled, and was going to make a lunge for the boy, except he had already opened the door and smacked it into the bald guy's head.
When Lawson got inside, he was a little disappointed that HE hadn't started all the hulla-baloo, but decided to dive in anyway.

Bob and Vince were busy dodging fists from angry counselors, when Bob remembered that they were in a trance. He then noticed that they were wearing a little medallion around their necks. Perhaps that is what kept their daydream stance from fading?
"Vince!" Bob called while stepping roughly on Larry's foot. "Make a grab for their medallions!"

"Why?" Vince yelled back while tripping Norma (head female counselor) by her shoestrings.

"Just do it!" Bob screamed.

Vince didn't know what Bob was getting at, but he swiped Norma's medallion from around her neck. Almost instantly, she seemed to snap out of whatever state she was in. She stood up slowly amongst the rebellion and rubbed her eyes.

"Wh-wh-what happened?" she asked a little frightfully. "Where am I?"

Bob and Vince took advantage of this revelation–swipe the medallion and they turn back to normal! Sounded just like some kind of weird Sci-Fi movie...

Meanwhile, Lawson had done run into Dr. Benedict who was busy trying to keep the "messy children" from ruining his suit. Benedict turned to glare at Lawson, who stared at him.

"Hey, I remember now!" he said a little gleefully. "You're that Phillium Benedict guy!"

"That I am!" the older man snapped and made a grab for Lawson, but fortunately he was too slow. While he dodged Benedict's advances, Lawson pick-pocketed him in hopes of finding a cell phone. Luckily, he found one and ran off to find Bob.

Bob and Vince told some surrounding kids about the medallion secret, and by this time almost every counselor was out of their trance. Bob was starting to feel a migraine coming on from all the ruckus, and was scared out of his wits when Lawson grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey, I swiped that Benedict guy's cell phone, ya think we need to call the cops or something?"

"Gah, don't scare me like that!" Bob scolded. On a lighter note, he added, "I see you remembered the guy's name. Yeah, go call the cops...if they'll believe you anyway."

Woo-hoo, they have a cell phone to the outside world, and it looks as if Benedict's plan is failing! Will the cops believe the story? Will everything ever go back to normal? Gotta keep reading to find out!
