Chapter 9
Kennedy looked at the monitors as the group of intruders and the girl that Doc spliced ran up the stairs. He may have been constantly drunk, but he wasn't stupid. If there was one thing that the boss constantly did it was an inferior depth perception. He could never get the distance right. Kennedy knew for sure that the intruders would be able to make it to the motor pool and drive out with at least a minute or two to spare. Kennedy glanced at his two remaining men, the others long since had evacuated, "Arbuckle and Thompson come with me. We're going to make sure that those kids don't get out of here alive." Kennedy quickly picked up a South African CR-21 assault rifle and slapped in a fresh clip. The two other men each loaded an HK-5 sub-machine gun.
Meanwhile on the stairs, the gang was running like mad. The good news was no one was seen ahead or following them. The bad news was that if they even stopped to breath there was a good chance they would be buried alive when the lab imploded. Brock yelled, "through here!" They were in a corridor and on the wall was a sign giving directions. To the left was the motor pool and two the right were the stairs to the hanger and the security room. Ash said, "How much time do we have?" Morris looked at his watch and replied "Three minutes, that should be plenty." They turned left and dashed to the motor pool. As soon as the doors opened they noticed that there were only two vehicles left--a beat up Land Rover and a Jeep with a Russian 7.25 machine gun mounted on top. Morris ran to Land Rover and opened its door. He tore off a panel on the steering column and began fiddling with the wires. May shouted "Hurry it up. I don't want to die down here as an over grown cat." James leaned in the car and said, "I think it's green to blue." Morris crossed those wires and the Rover started. Morris said, "Thanks. Everyone get in now!."
Suddenly from behind the gang a voice yelled "Not So Fast You SOBs." They turned around and saw three heavily armed Team Tech members. Meowth said, "Hey, it's that drunken guy who gave us the key card." Brock said, "and that guy is the one who gassed us in the bus." Thompson said, "Yeah well you die now." Morris slammed the accelerator to the floor as everyone jumped on the Rover as it started to head up the ramp. Kennedy leaped to the gunners seat of the Jeep, while Thompson started it and Arbuckle grabbed the passenger seat with his SMG ready. Kennedy yelled, "Punch it, we only have a minute."
Outside the desert was still as hot as usual, but the sand storms weren't as dangerous as usual. The Rover leaped out of the cave and began the drive deep into the desert. Suddenly they heard a large explosion and everyone looked back. There was a mile high plum of black smoke rising from where the base had been. Before the cheering could begin, a buzsaw noise was heard, and several bullets slammed into the sand inches from the back of the Rover. Looking back they saw the three Team Tech members following them with a machine gun mounted jeep. Jesse shouted, "What the hell is this Dukes of Hazard?" Morris yelled, "Hold on this is going to get ugly." Morris shifted the gears upward and the Rover began to speed toward the end of the desert. Kennedy shouted to Thompson "Peter get closer, I need a clean shot on the driver. Arbuckle, if you get a chance shoot the tires out. I want no one alive."
Meanwhile, at the far end of the blocked off tunnel, a police officer was lounging on the hood of his car, making sure no one went into the damaged tunnel. Near by was an offshoot dirt road that lead into the desert. The police officer was thinking just because he misplaced some damm paper work Jennie had assigned him to this stupid job. Everyone already knew the tunnel was closed. He swore at her and said to himself, "Her and her entire family of cops must be some of the most uptight people in the world."
Suddenly, barreling down the offshoot was a beat up Rover followed by a Jeep with a machine gun. He actually heard the guy manning the Jeep yell, "Punch it don't let those punks get to Lava Ridge." The cop jumped into his car and picked up the radio and said, "Unit 441 requesting immediate road block at Lava Ridge Route 113 Junction--two vehicles--Rover and heavily armed Jeep in pursuit
In the Rover Morris said, "I don't think I can keep this thing going much longer." Ash looked at the dash and said, "We have plenty of gas, what's the problem?" Morris point at another dial and said, "That stupid, the engine is overheating." As soon as he spoke they heard a banging noise and the Rover began to slow down. Mewoth screamed, "We're all going to die. We're all going to have enough lead in us to start a pencil factory!" Morris looked out ahead and saw two cop cars and spike strips on the road. Morris screamed--"Shit--hang on!" He swerved off the road right into a small pond. Right behind them Thompson was so busy chasing them he didn't notice the two cop cars or the spike stripe. The Jeep barreled right through the spikes and flipped 180 on its back due to the extreme speed when the tires blew. One cop ran towards the flipped over Jeep and the other ran towards the Rover stuck in the pond.
The cop at the Rover looked inside and said, "Are you people alright? What the hell were those guys trying to do to you?" Then he looked at May and said, "I think my medication has finally gotten to me. There's a cat woman in the back seat. Do I look wasted to you?" Jesse, James, and Mewoth chuckled. That was the first time a cop ever said something to them other than Your Under Arrest. The fact that the cop thought he was wasted was even more amusing. Ash said, "it's a long story." Brock added, "Where's the nearest hospital?" The cop straightened up and said, "Ahhhhh, O.K. Head down the road, after half a mile you will reach Lava Ridge, the tallest building in town is the hospital. Do you all need a ride, that Rover looks trashed. And by the way is that really a cat woman?" Before anyone could answer there was a gun shot. The cop turned and saw a badly burned, bleeding man holding a German submachine gun. The cop who went to check on the Jeep was lying dead face down in the dirt. The burnt guy limped towards them and yelled, "No one makes an ass out of Ryan Kennedy and gets away with it." With those words a bewildered look appeared on his face as he fell forwards dead as a dog. Everyone sweat dropped and climbed into the police car. James said, "O.K. that was creepy and pointless."
That night at the hospital, the entire gang was in the waiting room. Morris and two other doctors were in E.R. giving May the antidote and trying to make sure that the amnesia side effect didn't happen. During the last few hours they were questioned at least 5 or 6 times by the same cop who picked them up about what exactly was going on. It was 1 a.m. when the Lava Ridge officer Jennie walked into the waiting room.
"I've checked your stories and due to the things we found on the dead bodies in the Jeep, those men were most definitely members of Team Tech. I've called the military to check out your story about the base in the desert. Surprisingly, the upper levels are still intact. Our government and the U.S. government are going to have a fit about this. Especially since Team Tech managed to spread outside America and the fact that they were conducting illegal genetic research."
Suddenly Morris exited from the E.R. with Glitch by his side. He muttered to himself, "How do doctors work in this coats they are so uncomfortable." He looked at everyone and said, "I have very good news." Max said, "My sister's o.k. right? Does she know where she is? Has she been defurred?" Morris said, "Thanks to some of the files Glitch recovered, the doctors and I were able to prevent any memory loss. It wasn't easy. If the medicine wasn't just right, her brained would have been fried. She's in the recovery room." He looked around and said, "Where are Jesse, James, and that weird talking Mewoth?" Ash said "They scrammed as soon as we arrived here. Probably because of all the cops." Brock added, "They left us a note saying that due to what happened they need an vacation and will lay off trying to swipe Pikachu for a while." Pikachu sitting on his trainers shoulder simply nodded.
Morris said, "Well that about wraps this up except for one last thing-- There was kind of a side effect." Max said "What I thought you said everything went fine?" Morris calmed him down saying, "It's nothing serious--trust me." Glitch then blurted out "You call someone's natural hair color changing from brown to purple a minor side effect?" Everyone started laughing and Max said, "Wait until my sister sees herself in the mirror." Morris said, "She already did and I recommended hair dye. She told me to get a bottle. She'll be discharged tomorrow. One more thing, I have to get going. I still have to pick up those fossils for my crazy friend. I've said goodbye to May." Ash said, "Thanks for everything." Max said, "Without you and Glitch, we would probably be mindless animals by now." Glitch said, "Yah, I'm the man!" Morris sighed and pulled out Glitches ultra ball and said, "Return." Glitch yelled, "Hey what about our- -----" But then the red light engulfed him and he was pulled back into the ultra ball. "Damm he's annoying" said Morris. "If you ever need help here's my cell phone number." He flipped a business card that was caught by Ash. Morris turned and walked out of the hospital..
Ash said, "Lets go see May". Everyone nodded in agreement and began to walk down the corridor toward the recovery room.
Epilogue:
Mist Isle: a small uncharted piece of land a few miles north east of Mirage island that looked uninhabited. Suddenly a YAK-141 VTOL Jet began to descend over the island. It was painted dark tan with no markings what so ever. Suddenly the ground opened revealing a hidden hanger. The jet landed and out stepped Dr. Bailey looking extremely ragged and tired. The same could be said of his Zangoose that was standing by his side. A man walked up dressed in dark blue and said, "Before you escaped did you get the data boss?" Bailey smiled and replied, "Of course. I wouldn't let my research be buried under a ton of dirt. However, due to certain circumstances, I'm moving up the deadline on operation Stardust." "Yes sir, I'll informed everyone you have arrived." replied the man who turned and walked out of the hanger.
Bailey whispered to himself, "Soon the prophesy will come to life thanks to my efforts."
