I might not be able to update over the next couple of weeks since I've got a guest coming to stay (YAY!) but I'll try and update again after that. I know Kilobyte's a little different but let's just say the power's gone to his head. (If you have any suggestions on what sure happen next please post them cause I was lazy and couldn't be bothered planning everything out. Ooo! I just had an idea for a new fanfic...better write that down...)

Mark heard the basketball bounce against the concrete driveway as he approached Kat's house. He didn't announce his presence immediately and instead watched her from nearby. Finally he called out to her, 'Er, hi Kat.'

She stopped and held the basketball in her hands as she turned to look at him and smiled shyly, 'Oh, hi.'

'So...' Mark said uncertainly.

'So...' she echoed.

'Erm, it was fun last night,' he said finally.

She grinned, 'Yeah, really fun.'

'Well, we had a lot of fun...'

'Yes a lot of fun.'

Mark felt a butterfly the size of a robin fly around inside his stomach, 'Well, yeah see you,' he said quickly and started to half walk and half run in the opposite direction.

The sound of sneakers running across the footpath met his ears, and he felt a hand on his shoulder swing him around. Kat beamed as she kissed lightly on the lips, and Mark just knew he had a goofy look on his face and blushed.

'Your house, pizza, movie?' asked Kat.

Mark nodded quickly, goofy look still on his face. She smirked and ran back to his driveway, stumbling a little as she looked back at him. Once she was out of sight Mark ran to the DVD store.

The programmed hairs went up on the back of Rick's neck as he realised Kilobyte was watching him from the shadows. He attempted to type faster but the chains around his wrists and ankles weren't helping.

Finally Kilobyte stepped out from his hiding place, 'How is the project progressing?'

Rick typed feverishly, 'Very well, very well, assuming you have your programming ready.'

'It's ready,' answered Kilobyte.

Rick hit one final key of the computer console and sighed, 'So am I.'

Kilobyte smiled wickedly, 'Excellent.'

Lady Illusion stepped into the Main Complex in Kilobyte's Fortress, a large stone building. Immediately an energy barrier went up around her and she realised why, for her own protection. The other evils were all here, each of them with a force field surrounding them also. She and Lord Fear were the one's in the biggest danger, Lord Fear from the other evils after he had turned against them, and she from Lord Fear, after she had betrayed him, twice.

Kilobyte stepped out from a door way hidden somewhere in the gloom with the mortal know as 'Rick' in tow. Kilobyte looked out over his collection of minions smugly. Lady Illusion saw Lord Fear flinch in agitation and anger, although the others just seemed plain afraid. That was understandable, the things that they had all been subjected to by Kilobyte on their arrival back in the 6th dimension was not something she wanted to remember, and she'd rather be deleted then relive them. The only reason Lord Fear was angry was because his susceptibility to spite was higher then his susceptibility to fear. That was usually a sight of either true fearlessness, or true evil.

'Now that you are all here, I have something to say to you all, be proud. Be proud for you are about to be part of the greatest invasion force to the Mortal Realm ever,' Kilobyte declared, Lady Illusion felt nervous as she saw his manic expression, but then shook it off, reminding herself that she should be used to working under madmen.

'I have amassed our army, and they await the signal to attack,' Kilobyte had gained control of the 'evil' side of the sixth dimension, which had previously belonged to Lord Fear, soon after he had been destroyed, 'but first we must transport them to the mortal realm, and to do that we need the Amulet of Zoar. We have enough power to transport a small group, and since you are my most powerful minions it will be you. Our mission is too find the amulet, a job you all should be well acquainted with, but this time we have another weapon at our disposal.'

Lady Illusion noticed a pair of acid green eyes in the gloom staring at her, she shivered, wondering whether that was the weapon Kilobyte was talking about. When Kilobyte had finished his speech Rick hit a few buttons on a handheld console and all the evils beside Lord Fear and Lady Illusion disappeared into a spiralling vortex. Kilobyte approached them both and sighed, 'If you hadn't betrayed me this wouldn't have been necessary,' he sounded regretful, but they knew he was just being patronizing. 'At least I know you won't betray me again.' He produced a black, velvety, rectangular box, and inside, lying on red silky cloth were two metallic, purple centipedes, squirming and wriggling.

Lady Illusion backed away, but met the sting of an energy field, Kilobyte looked at her, 'I think you can go first. They won't bite you, unless you do anything that would displease me, and trust me, if they do bite you, how would you like to spend the rest of your existence down stairs?' They all knew exactly what he was talking about, they'd been sent down stairs when they'd arrived.

The energy barrier around her dropped and before she could think Kilobyte dropped one of the centipedes onto her hand. She shrieked as it burrowed under her skin. Lord Fear looked both disgusted and terrified, and perhaps even a bit jealous that he'd never thought of such a thing. Lady Illusion felt dizzy as she felt it more beneath her skin. She saw Kilobyte approach Fear with the next centipede, but the vortex engulfed her before she could discover what happened next.
