That's What It's All About

An Alien World

I. Jubilee
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jubilee looked on at the screen. It was the final movie that Generation X would have to run through. She was scared now. No one knew that Abcissa wasn't her. At least she didn't think nobody knew, but if Rich had sent the message successfully, Penny would know. Maybe they were waiting for the right moment. If so, it had better be soon. She had noticed that Abcissa was still trying to sabotage the team. She then heard Mojo shout, "I don't believe it. How can they manage to survive these things? At least some of them should be dead. That Husk girl should be dead."

That had unnerved Jubilee abit. She had seen how Jono risked his life to save her, and how both survived. She then heard Rich say, "Jubilee, what's happening?"

She took a quick glance at the screen that was receiving the signal from Rich's eyes. It was still blurred, but not as bad as it had been. She realized he must be trying to compensate for the loss of his glasses. She then said, "Rich, they are about to enter the last movie. I hope they make it through." She noticed that Rich nodded as the screen appeared to move up and down. "I just hope they also find out that Abcissa is a fake."

She almost yelped in surprise when Mojo said, "How are they going to find out, unless they catch her. There is no way you can warn them." She didn't want to say anything of what Rich had done. By the time they took him away to put the cameras in his eyes, they had managed to get all the info from his mind that they needed.

Jubilee just looked at Mojo. She didn't want to let Mojo know that Rich had managed to inform the others in some way. She just said, "How long do you think Abcissa can go without being caught?"

She didn't like the smile Mojo gave her. "With this last one, hopefullly most of your friends will fall and be forced to stay here." It scared her. What was Mojo planning, and what was he going to have Abcissa do.

II. Sean
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sean looked around the room, wondering where they were now. It looked very futuristic, like a space station, but the a nearby window told him they were on a planet. He looked at the scene and said, "Two hours to figure our way out of this one." He told the student to stay near the room. The last thing he wanted was them to be totally split up. He turned to Emma and said, "Now all we have to do is find out what movie we are in."

Emma looked out the window, and then at some of the other students that were still in the room. He could tell that she was trying to keep an eye, psychically, on the other students. She then said, "Sean, every one of the movies we've seen in this deathtrap has been from Rich's mind. Now, what movie do you think would hold the top spot?"

Sean almost gasped. He looked at Emma and said, "You don't honestly think that we'd be in that movie." She nodded and he just shook his head. "It can't be. Even Mojo wouldn't be that crazy."

Emma just said, "Mojo only cares about ratings. To him, that's what all this is about. This will be the ultimate ratings getter."

He wanted to argue with her about it, but Darrett walked in with a weapon and said, "Well, this looks like a sci-fi film judging by the weapons. And we have a sealed door, with a monitor showing an automatic gun on the other side."

He noticed as a few more students were holding similar weapons. He didn't like the idea of the students holding guns, but they might be their best defense now. Sean remembered seeing the movie not to long ago, and remember alot about the creatures, but he still wasn't convinced. He then heard Emma say, "Everyone, Penance has found something."

He didn't want to know what Penance had found, but he knew they all had to know. He turned to everyone and said, "Alright everyone, let's go. We don't have all day." As the students all followed him and Emma, he silently hoped it wasn't the movie they thought it was.

He felt his heart sink when they turned the corner and saw what Penance saw. A room full of facehuggers, just like in Aliens, and luckily, all were in tubes. He then heard Penance say, "I don't think we have very long to get out of here." This was not going to be a good scenario.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Abcissa
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abcissa looked on with the others as they saw what was before them. She had to admit that Mojo had outdone himself. He must have made it exactly like the movie. As she stood there, she heard Banshee go, "How long do ye figure we have, Penance?"

She watch as the girl codenamed Penance lowered her head and said, "Once those guns fire, not long. That will be the first attempt, then the aliens will come through the ceiling. We have to find the vent that leads to the way out."

Just then, she heard the mini-speaker in her ear say, "Abcissa, are you listening?" She nodded, since she knew Mojo was watching. She then heard him say, "Here's what you have to do. You are going to turn off those guns. Then, you will get some of those Face Hugger's free. You know that you will be in no danger." She nodded. She knew she was in no danger, since Mojo had injected his nanobots into her. It's what had allowed her to look closer to her replacements age.

After Mojo had quieted down, she heard Emma say, "Alright everyone, look for that vent, and hurry. We have less than two hours to save Skitz, and less than that until those guns start to fire." She then watched as everybody went their seperate ways, but in small groups. Just as she started to head for the guns, she noticed that Penance was with Banshee and Emma.

She didn't know what they were talking about, but it had her a bit concerned. She had to act fast. Like Banshee said, they didn't have long until the guns started to fire, and she had to make sure they didn't fire. She knew that if she succeeded, most, if not all, of Generation X would die, and she would have fellow slaves. At least she wouldn't have to suffer alone anymore, and she wouldn't have to worry about being Mojo's focus, although he kept her close to him. When she finally go to the guns, she

check everything about them. She noticed a camera screen near the one gun. She looked for a moment and saw movement in the far distance, not close enough to set off the guns. Judging by the rate of movement, she had about ten to fifteen minutes to shut off the guns and free both of the face huggers. She quickly punched in the command code to activate and deactivate the guns. She smiled and said, "Now, this is one sabotage that won't fail." She quickly ran to the room where she had seen the face huggers earlier.

As she looked over the creatures, she heard echoing through the halls the student codenamed Blink saying, "Banshee, Darrett and I have found the vent." It wouldn't matter. The aliens were almost at the door, and ready to kill them all. She could at least carry one face hugger to the rest of the group.

As she walked further into the room, she heard a sound she didn't want to hear. It was the guns. She thought she had deactivated them. As the guns continued to go off, she heard Banshee say, "Everyone to the vent. We might not have much time to get out of here."

As she heard the rest of Generation X running, she quietly said, "Damn, what went wrong? I shut those guns down."

She didn't expect an answer, but she almost jumped when she heard one voice say, "You got caught, Abcissa." She turned to see Penance looking at her, with two claws ready to strike. This was not a good turn of events.
