I hope you all enjoyed the small fighting scene in the last chapter. . . I know I enjoyed writing it. Anyway, I hope you did because there is more to come. Okay, here goes! Please review!
One more thing. . . if you think this next chapter is kind of dumb because of the monster in it. . sorry about that, because for some reason it sounds dumb to me. Anyway, it was neccesarry as you will see in later chapters.
Jimmy stood outside the spacecraft and watched the robots file out. Of course, he was unseen. He was invisible, literally. He had decided to test out his experimental InvisiSpray on himself and it was working so far.
He was alone. He had convinced his friends to stay in the lab so they could keep an eye on what was happening. He knew that there must be some way to stop the robots, because, if not, their army was in big trouble. Usually, the army only dealt with human armies, and they were nowhere near enough ready to battle androids.
Hundreds upon hundreds of robots poured out of the craft, as Jimmy watched helplessly. He needed to do something, and fast.
Cindy ran the corridors as fast as she could. She had to get out of there before Tara started after her. She knew that Tara would be ticked when she awoke and would want revenge. Cindy knew the might of a war-loving alien, and was unsure if she could deal with her, no matter how much she wanted to.
Cindy stopped suddenly when she came to a door. She quickly and quietly opened it and hid herself inside, figuring that she was not fast enough to leave the ship without Tara catching up, so she might as well hide.
As she shut the door, she searched frantically for the lock, but their wasn't one. Instead, she pressed her back against the door and tried to silence her frantic breathing.
Cindy's eyes grew wide as she realized where she was. Seated on a throne in front of her was Goobot, she was in the throne room.
"Hello, Cynthia, long time no see!" said Goobot. " I was wondering when your inquisitive nature would get the best of you and I would find you in my presence once more."
Jimmy was finally on the ship. He was unsure where he was, but he was on board. Still invisible, Jimmy snaked his was around the robots. Most had already been sent out, but there were a few stragglers left behind.
He was still thinking of a way to stop the robots, because, he knew if they were stopped, then it would be the end of the war. The Yokains would'nt have time to recruit more any more soldiers, so they would most likely retreat.
Then he had an idea! Since the soldiers were androids, they would all run from the same central power unit. If he shut down the power supply, then he would also shut down the Yokains' operation. So, now Jimmy had a plan; he just didn't know where to begin.
Cindy wasn't going to be captured again. This time, she stood her ground in front of Goobot.
"So, finally, you've managed to get yourself into this sticky situation." said Goobot.
"Oh, please, what are you going to do? Have your little spy beat me up?" asked Cindy.
"Well, yes actually, that was my plan. You know, it's not as much fun when you already know what's going to happen, but you always were the smart one." replied Goobot.
"Well, your highness," said Cindy sarcastically, "I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but I'm not sure if Tara can do much at the moment."
"Oh really?" asked Goobot, motioning behind Cindy. Tara came through the door at that exact moment. She was no longer in human form, but the large handprint was still visible on her face.
"Yes, I saw the little show you put on. You think one little slap is going to prevent her from coming after you? You're wrong. You see, she had a bone to pick with you, and I wouldn't put anything past her." said Goobot.
Tara didn't even wait for clearence from Goobot. She swiftly lunged at Cindy, attempting to grab anything the could catch ahold of. Instead, she missed and went straight past her.
Cindy turned on Tara, ready to fight. She thought of all the moves she had learned with her extensive training in martial arts, as she prepared for a big fight.
"Wait a minute before you begin." said Goobot. " I want to make things more interesting." as he said this, Goobot pulled a large lever that jutted from the wall next to his throne. Immediately, a large hole appeared in the floor in front of Cindy and Tara.
Cindy gave Goobot a questioning look and waited for him to explain.
"You see, girls, down in that pit, is a monster. It's called a Satreg. It's an animal native to my planet. It was very difficult getting it on the ship, because it kills everything it touches. I lost many guards loading him, and finally we had to dress them in three layers of Derhandia. Still, they were seriously woudned. You see, the Satreg is made up of poison. The whole animal is basically a liquid, and is deadly to the touch. While you two fight, one of you will eventually slip and fall into the pit and well. . . "
Cindy opened her mouth, mortified. It was the most horrible beast she had ever heard of. What was more, she could hear the unearthly sounds it made as it shuffled around it's prison below her.
"Tara," she said quickly. " We don't have to fight. We don't have to do this. We can call a truce and not have to worry about dying." said Cindy pleadingly.
Tara turned towards her enemy and stared her in the face.
"Sorry Cindy," she answered, "This ends now, no matter who ends it."
