A/N: Thanks for all those reviews! Most people said it was funny and that they liked Enzo. It was sort of what I was aiming for. Please R&R. Thanks!
Chapter 9
Robin was silent for half of the plane trip to the tower. They only landed once and that was only to get gas and for food for at least four days. Enzo slept most of the time and the pilot only let it go autopilot at night for around 5 hours. Robin was awake all day and all night. He got so tiered, but could not go to sleep. He was hating this.
At the one stop Enzo and Robin got to talk for at least a half an hour. They needed sometime to say everything they needed to say.
"You got to know about this tower, Robin," Enzo said as he watched the pilot argue with another guy about food. "It's one of the most powerful alien tower these guys got so far."
"What do they even got in there?" Robin asked while watching the pilot from the same window Enzo was looking out of. "More gadgets?"
"They don't got any gadgets," Enzo said and Robin looked at Enzo strangely. "This place is dangerous, I tell you. They got potions of every kind of thing you can think of."
"What kind of potions?" Robin asked with a frown.
Enzo shivered at even the thought of the place. "Ones that kill, torture, and anything along those lines."
"Then why does Slade want one?" Robin thought out loud. "I got to find out what he is planning so I can get ahead of him."
"You're never getting in this place," Enzo said flatly.
Robin raised an eyebrow and asked, "You don't think I can do it?"
"Did you see that T.V. screen at Slade's place?!" Enzo yelled in Robin face. "That tower was swarming with guards. And these did not have just ordinary guns."
"Whoa now!" Robin said. "Now you're telling me they got a whole new style of security system and weapons?"
"I guess you did not look at that screen that close," Enzo said while rolling his eyes. "Those guns the guards were holding had a glass bottles attached to them. And the bottles were filled with a green slim. Know what that is?"
Robin shook his head no and let Enzo go on with what he was going to say.
"Sleeping potion," Enzo said. "Even the slightest touch of that stuff can send you into dreamland in less than a second. It sends a quick message to the brain to shut it down and then you get knocked out by it."
"But I can't fall asleep," Robin said with a tiny smile.
"Don't smile yet," Enzo said while folding his arms in front of him. "My gadget can't stand the sleeping potion. It can knock you out and you can be out for a few days. It depends on how long you have gone without sleep."
Robin now felt sick. If he got knocked out in the snow he would surly freeze to death, or even worse, he could be found by the aliens and get caught. Suddenly he did not want to jump out of the plane.
Robin strapped the chute onto his back and glanced over at Enzo who was on the seat next to him and was trying his best to not freeze.
Enzo looked up at Robin and frowned. "You're not thinking on taking me with you!"
"You know these towers like the back of your fuzzy hand," Robin said. "I will need you." Robin saw the pilot glare at him and his face said, 'you better not leave him here with me'. Robin smiled and added, "And do you really want to be left alone with him?" Robin jabbed his thumb at the pilot.
Enzo gave a sigh and said, "Fine, I'll go with you, but don't make be another distraction like that time in the tower." Enzo jumped into Robin's giant coat pocket and buttoned it up himself.
Robin had switched from his Slade outfit to a much more warmer one. He had on a cotton black shirt with some blue pants that were really thick. He also had on a wool coat with huge pockets that Enzo was now in.
"I'll circle around that mountain with the green flag over there for a few hours," the pilot said while pointing to a tiny green flag on a mountain far away. "If you're not there by tomorrow I'm gone because you would most likely be dead."
"Thanks for the up-lift," Robin muttered to the pilot. The pilot just smiled and gave a thumbs up to say that Robin was ready to drop. Robin gulped back a bump in his throat and opened the door of the plane. The cold wind blasted in front of his face and Robin took out from out of his clothes his red tented goggles and pulled them on. He took a deep breath and took the plunge.
Nothing wrong happened on the way down to the icy wasteland below, but once Robin got down he had no idea where he was. Snow was just all around him and the cold was chilling him to the bones. He quickly put on his earpiece and said, "I'm on the ground, Slade. In what direction do you want me to go?"
It took a few seconds for Slade to come in and when he did come in it was a bit fuzzy. "You should head strait forward and keep going till you from me again."
Enzo stuck his head out of the pocket and said, "Do you even know where you're going? Those guards could be scouting around this place. Keep a sharp eye out."
"Slade is directing me," Robin said.
"But he has no idea where these guards are," Enzo said. "It's freezing out here. Tell me if you see anything. I'm going back in." With that said the little alien pulled his head back into Robin's pocket.
Robin gave a sigh and started to make his way through the snow and to keep his eyes out for any guards that could be hiding. After a long while Robin was losing it. The cold was too chilling and the wind swept around him so fast that it was too hard to even take a step.
Enzo stuck his head out of Robin's pocket and looked up at Robin and frowned. "You okay, kid?" he asked as he saw Robin wince as another gust of cold wind blew up in his face and made specks of ice sting at his face.
"Does it look like I'm okay?!" Robin said as he took a step forward and almost fell. "I've had no sleep in around a week! I'm working for my enemy! And I'm stuck in the middle of this ice land and a guard that could easily kill me might be around the corner! Yeah, I'm okay!"
There was a long silence as Robin kept plotting along. Enzo kept looking up at him in silence as well. Finally Enzo said, "Look, I'm sorry that I even created that gadget. If it weren't for me you would not be in this mess. Let's just get done with this mission."
Robin said nothing and kept looking strait ahead. Enzo gave a sigh and climbed out of the pocket and sat on Robin's shoulder. "You keep going strait and I'll keep a lookout for these guards. It will go faster that way."
Enzo gave Robin a smile and Robin sort of gave a weak smile back. "The over grown rat is not that bad once you get to know him," Robin thought as he kept stepping forward. It did take faster the way he was doing it. Enzo was freezing his tail off, but he wanted to make it up to Robin.
"Stop," Slade ordered after a long time of walking.
Robin was all too glade to stop.
"Look ahead," Slade said.
Robin searched for a little while and found a line out of the tower in white wonderland. Robin smiled. He had made it there without getting killed. Enzo gave a smile similar to Robin's as he saw the tower as well.
"Now how do I get past the wall of ice and get through the guards?" Robin asked Slade hoping he had an answer.
"Like I said before, Robin," Slade said, "This is your mission and not mine. Find a way through yourself."
"I'm guessing that you will not come after me if I get caught," Robin said while stepping forward.
"And you guessed right," Slade said. "If you can't make it past this than I guess you're not good enough."
"Oh thanks," Robin said sarcastically.
"FREEZE!" someone yelled over at Robin.
"Duck!" Enzo yelled and yanked down on Robin's hair to make him go faster. A green built flew past Robin's shoulder and landed an inch away from him. It left a green spot on the white snow.
"I said freeze!" the same person said and shot its gun again at Robin. Robin duck rolled out of the way as Enzo yelled, "We are already freezing!" Robin tightened his left hand into a fist and became invisible.
"That's not going to work for too long," Enzo whispered to Robin.
"Why not?" Robin whispered as the guard started to search out for him. The two were behind a snow bank that was only going to protect them for a little while.
"The guards all have heat seeker goggles on," Enzo replied flatly.
"Stay still or you're both dead!" the someone shouted. Robin did not know where the voice was coming from. He now had no idea where the tower was or where anywhere else was. "Put your hands up and become visible!"
Robin slowly stood up and put his hands in the air and became visible. Enzo understood what Robin was doing and did the same thing.
"Have any bright ideas on how to get out of this mess?" Enzo whispered in Robin's ear.
"It's either this or get hit by those guns and that is not what I want right now," Robin sharply answered. The guard came closer and held his gun up to Robin and motioned for him to walk forward as the guard walked behind him.
