Chapter 8
Jenny reaches the house at top speed. As soon as she lands, Weapons shoot forth from around the residence. It literally has transformed into a fortress.
JENNY: I didn't know my house could do that.
BRAD: Your mother's probably trapped inside.
JENNY: I'm going in.
Jenny rushes for the front door. Two laser cannon take aim and blast her away. She gets up and tries again. This time a panel on the walkway opens up and a giant bear trap clamps down on her foot, shakes her around then tosses her away from the house.
JENNY: It's too well guarded. I can't do it alone.
BRAD: Zero and me can help.
ZERO: That's right, we only need to get inside.
JENNY: Most likely it'll be armed inside too.
ZERO: (Smiling) That's a chance I'm willing to take. Brad, grab a trash lid and hold on to dear life.
BRAD: What the...!
Brad quickly grabs a trash lid as Zero seizes and throws him into the danger zone. The two lasers fire, but Brad is protected. Zero dashes for the door. The bear trap opens, but Zero destroys it by the use of his Z- saber.
ZERO: Now's your chance Jenny!
Jenny bursts through the front door. More lasers await her. She navigates through the home avoiding the laser fire. She makes her way to the lab. Her mother is hiding behind a fallen bookshelf.
JENNY: Mom! Are you all right?!
MS WAKEMAN: Look out!
Two giant arms shot from out of the main computer and smack Jenny into a wall. Zero runs in with Brad tumbling after.
BRAD: What are those?
ZERO: Nothing good, that's for sure.
The hands turn into fists and knock Zero and Brad alongside Jenny.
Jenny hands transform into carbon blades. She lunges at the arms and slices them off cleanly. To her surprise the wires stretch out and reconnect the severed limbs.
Brad dives behind the fallen bookshelf with Ms. Wakeman.
BRAD: How did this happen?!
MS WAKEMAN: I was figuring out Zero's abilities, and then the computer reset itself and attacked me.
Zero lashes out with his Z-saber cutting fists in two. The fists in turn, duplicate into more fists and hit both Jenny and Zero from all directions.
BRAD: Did you find anything that may help?
MS WAKEMAN: I did discover one ability Zero could use. (To Zero) Zero! You can charge your Z-buster! Concentrate!
ZERO: Here goes nothing.
Energy starts to build inside Zero's buster. Jenny seeing what is happening guards Zero as he charges. The yellow aura around the buster changes blue. Jenny dodges and Zero fires into the computer. The force explodes with great force. The computer shuts down.
Brad and Ms. Wakeman come out.
JENNY: I've never seen the computer do that before.
MS WAKEMAN: It occurred just as I was trying to isolate that sub command. I'm going to have to access it in DOS mode. Zero, your must stay down here until I can fix you.
BRAD: That stinks.
TUCK: It sure does. I wanted him to meet my friends.
Everyone looks at the lab entrance where Tuck stands disappointingly.
ALL: Tuck...
TUCK: What?
Later that night, Zero sits in a chair in the lab. Jenny is with him.
JENNY: Try to sleep well. You've had a busy day.
ZERO: Quite a lot of action for a first day in life.
Jenny laughs at the comment.
JENNY: Well, I need to get some Z's myself. Tomorrow mom will come here to fix things up. Good night Zero.
ZERO: Good night Jenny. Thank you for putting up with me.
JENNY: Don't worry about it. It's been pretty exciting with you here (She blushes).
Jenny walks out the room. Zero looks on.
His vision flashes and he sees the hallway from his dream. He clutches his head in pain. Then it stops.
ZERO: What's wrong with me?
He closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
