Thanks for the reviews.
BACK TO THE TOWER
ZED'S army closed in to a suitable range and the Crabs began to fire at the fortress. The officer at the fortress told the particle cannons to fire at will. As the fortress got beat on by the lasers from the Crabs it fired its particle cannons taking out most of the ground troops and some Crabs. Then the Mega Tanks started to charge up their guns. The General ordered some tanks to move out to help get rid of most of the ground troops. As the tanks got out side they were battered with laser fire. The Mega Tanks shot at the fortress and their blasts broke into the walls. One of the Particle cannon towers fell leaving an area for the Metal Men to enter the base. Just as the Metal Men tried to go for the hole they were thrown back as the fortress activated its force field. The General knew that the shield wouldn't last long with the Crabs and Mega tanks firing at it so he ordered the infantry to suit up and get ready to go out as soon as the shield was broken. In the control room one of the workers saw something strange on the radar and reported it to the General.
"Sir there is a strange squad of troops heading this way," said the Monitor.
"Great ZED'S reinforcements," said the General.
"No sir, they're ours," said the Monitor.
Just in the distance a set of four T180 Panzer's lead by a black Firebird came to help the fortress out. They lined up in a straight line just on top of the dune nearest the fight.
"All right boys aim and fire the high capacity D.E.S shells," said Kai over the CB.
"Yes Sir," replied the tank drivers.
The tanks took aim and fired. ZED'S army was completely caught off guard. When the first shell hit a Mega Tank it blew the Tank up causing a ricochet of explosions as other Mega Tanks near the one that got hit blew up. The other three shells hit destroying some Crabs and most of the Metal Men. With parts littering the ground the Crabs that were left couldn't turn around and stay stable so they fell over and blew up. A group of Metal Men ran from the fiery battleground towards the group of Tanks and Firebird.
"Sir Should I take out the group of Metal Men coming towards us," said One of the tank officers.
"No, leave them to me," said Kai.
Kai pushed a green button on his dash and a set of stinger missiles popped out of the door panel. Kai aimed and fired. In one quick explosion the whole group of metal men were incinerated in a fiery blast. Then Kai pushed a blue button on the dash and an EMP rocket was loaded, then fired. At the base the radar showed the EMP rocket as it was launched.
"Sir, an EMP has been launched from the car," said the Monitor.
"Ok, quickly shut down the base so that nothing electronically will be harmed," said the General.
The Monitor shut down the whole base and any lights focused on the battlefield were shut off. The only light was that which came from the burning remains of the Mega Tanks, Metal Men, and Crabs. The EMP was easily seen coming down toward the battlefield. As the EMP rocket hit the ground it exploded and sent a blue wave of electricity over the battlefield, fortress, and the relief group. Any one of ZED'S minions that still had life in it was now shut down.
"Now that's what I call a battle," said Kai.
"You know it," said one of the Tank officers.
"All right lets go home," said Kai.
The tanks and Firebird took formation and road to the base. The bay doors were opened to let them in. As soon as they stopped in the bay the officers and Kai got out of their vehicles. Sam ran into the bay from the safe room with Adam close behind. Sam sees Kai just through the crowd he hasn't changed much appearance wise since she last saw him. He still had his spiked blonde hair and was wearing his army cargo pants long-sleeved black shirt and his white headband with the Chinese symbol for power on it. He still had his swords and his pride and joy, a golden Desert Eagle that he made himself. Sam ran up to him and gave him a big hug; she even started to cry.
"Oh, Kai I missed you so much," said Sam.
"Well I couldn't go one day without thinking of you," said Kai.
"Hey I want you to meet someone. This is Adam," said Sam as she introduced Adam.
"Ah, so you're the guy we need to help get rid of ZED, I have some one for you to meet," said Kai.
"Oh, I think I'll leave you two alone," said Sam.
Kai took Adam to a hallway that he didn't notice before; they met up with Odd in the hallway.
"Hey Kai your back," said Odd.
"Yeah, and," said Kai.
"Well gear is expecting you," said Odd.
"Good, I suspected he did," said Kai.
Odd started to walk away when Kai stopped him, "Hey you want to come watch?"
"Ok," said Odd.
"Watch what?" said Adam confused.
"You'll see," said Kai.
Kai led Adam into a dark room and then Kai left and the door closed behind him.
"You ok in there?" said Kai over an intercom.
"Yeah I'm fine," said Adam.
"Ok Gear, he's all yours," said Kai.
Adam stood in the dark for about one minute and then the lights came on. Adam could see Kai and Odd sitting in another room protected by a glass window. The room that Adam is in has padding allover the place.
"Ok what is this, the crazy house or something?" asked Adam.
"No," said a voice from behind him.
Adam turned around to see Gear. He was just as tall as Adam and was wearing all black. Even his hair was black; the only thing not black on Gear was his face and his red eyes.
"So you're gear," said Adam.
"Yes. Now lets begin," said Gear as he kicks Adam behind the knee.
Adam falls to one knee and looks up, but Gear was gone.
"Ok where'd you go?" said Adam.
"UP TOP!" yelled Gear.
Gear dropped from the ceiling and was about to land on Adam. But Adam moved out of the way and Gear hit the padded floor.
"Come on you're going to have to do better than that," said Adam.
"Ok how about this," said Gear.
Gear disappeared again then reappeared behind Adam and got him in a half nelson. Adam grabbed Gear's Arm and electrocuted him. Gear quickly let go and staggered to the back wall.
"Geese this isn't kill off your sparing partner day," said Gear.
"Hey I can't help it, I don't even have complete control over my power yet," said Adam.
"Hmm, So I guess your power works when you get in danger of death," said Gear. "Here block this."
Gear shot an Ice blast at Adam, and Adam ducked in hopes of dodging the blast. The Ice blast was aimed at Adam's feet. As the blast got nearer to Adam Gear noticed something around Adam. The Ice blast hit the force field that Adam was making and the ice formed over the field.
"Whoa," said Gear.
Adam stood up and shot an electric ray at Gear. Gear moved out of its way and the ray hit the glass protecting Kai and Odd. The glass shattered leaving Kai, Gear, and Odd speechless. After about one minute Gear said something. "Houston we are going to the tower." Kai got Jeremy, Aelita, Sam, Moen, and Tyson. Gear and Adam met them in the service bay.
"Ok lets get this strait, we are gong back to the tower to get Ulrich and Yumi before ZED does away with them," said Kai.
"Got it," said Adam.
"Ok Jeremy, Aelita, and Moen come with me," said Kai.
"Ok, then I'll take Adam, Sam, Odd, and Tyson," said Gear.
"Right. I'll meet you outside in five," said Kai.
"Roger that," said Gear.
So Kai took Jeremy, Aelita, and Moen to his Firebird and Gear took Adam, Sam, Odd, and Tyson to his Escalade.
"Holy cow," said Tyson as he saw the Escalade.
"Guys this is the beast," said Gear.
Everyone was staring wide-eyed at the site of the massive truck. It looked like and Escalade but it was made for some serious off-roading. It had huge tires; they were at least 29inches. It had at light rack on top and a massive front bumper used for ramming through structures. The engine was huge and it had a blower sticking out of the hood. The Escalade was black and it had The Beast written in flames across the side.
"I call shot gun," said Tyson breaking the silence.
"No way I get in front," said Odd.
"Come on guys we haven't got all day," said Gear.
Once everyone climbed into the truck Gear started her up. The truck was really loud in the base but when they got outside everyone could hear again.
"So ya like her?" asked Gear.
"If it wasn't so loud maybe I would," said Sam.
"Are you kidding this truck is awesome," said Odd. "What's on the radio Gear?"
"Radio that's old school, and besides there's no stations in operation," said Gear.
Gear hit play on the CD player and immediately Odd recognized the song and started to sing.
"Dub Dub Dub dada dub dub dub, da dub dub dub dada dub dub dub," Odd sung.
"OH GOD, MAKE IT STOP!" said Sam.
Gear chuckled and hit the gas. Kai saw Gear coming and began to lead the way. In about an hour they came up on the tower. Odd was singing another song that they were just listening to.
"Man, that other song was great too. Bring Sally up and Bring Sally down…(Sam smacks Odd upside the head) Hey what was that for?" said Odd.
"Odd if you do that on the way back I am going to hook you to the back bumper and Gear will drag you," said Tyson.
"I trust everyone had an easy trip out here," said Kai.
"Well it was fine until Odd became our radio," said Sam.
Kai shook his head and then lead everyone to the tower's entrance.
"Ok, we will split up, my group will look for Yumi and your group will look for Ulrich," said Kai.
"Got it," said Gear.
As they got in and shut the door behind them a Creeper saw them and reported to the security inside. "Alert we have some guests. Let's give them some pain."
Kai and Gear took their groups out to search for Yumi and Ulrich, but what they didn't know was that they were being watched.
"You know this place gives me the creeps," said Tyson.
"I know what you mean," said Odd.
"Hey Sam why is this place never guarded?" asked Adam.
"Your guess is as good as mine," said Sam.
"Hey, I found him," said Odd.
"Sweet lets get him out," said Adam.
"Adam where did Sam go?" asked Tyson.
Adam looked behind him and saw that Sam was gone.
"Weird, she was just behind me," said Adam.
"Whatever let's just get Ulrich and go," said Odd.
Adam went over to the green release button and pushed it. Ulrich's unconscious body fell to the floor with a thud.
"Why didn't you catch him?" said Adam.
"What, I thought Tyson had him," said Odd.
"Hey don't blame me," said Tyson.
"Whatever guys just take him and lets go," said Adam.
As Tyson and Odd carried Ulrich's motionless body Adam was walking ahead to look for Sam. He then heard voices in a corridor, so Adam quietly moved in to get a better look. When he got sight of the two figures he noticed that one was a Creeper and the other was Sam. So he moved in because he thought that she was in trouble.
"SAM GET OUT OF HERE I'LL TAKE HIM!" yelled Adam.
"Adam what are you doing, I was in the middle of negotiating a way for us to get out of here safely," said Sam.
Adam stood with a puzzled look on his face. Then a loud bang ripped through the air. Adam felt something rush past his leg. Looked at Sam and saw a huge hole in her forehead. The Creeper was gone and Sam's body fell to the floor.
"Adam, come on lets go," said Kai.
Adam turns around to face Kai.
"Why did you shoot her?" asked Adam in a shaky voice.
"Let's go before more Creepers show up," said Kai.
"So you're just going to walk away," said Adam.
"Yes, and I advise you do the same," said Kai.
"YOU JUST SHOT OUR SISTER!" yelled Adam.
Kai covers Adam's mouth and slams him into the wall.
"I killed her because she was going to get rid of us," said Kai.
Kai lets Adam go and Adam asks one question.
"Why?" asked Adam.
"She was going to use us to get ZED what he wanted, ZED want's us all dead so that he can get rid of the planet," said Kai.
"So she sided with the bad guys, but why did she bring me here?" asked Adam.
"She brought you here so that ZED would have someone to train to lead his armies," said Kai.
Just then they heard Aelita screaming for help.
"SHIT, LET'S GO!" yelled Kai.
Kai and Adam ran out of the Corridor and saw Creepers everywhere.
"Ok I guess we are fucked," said Adam.
"You bet," said Kai.
Jeremy managed to get free from the Creeper that held him and ran for the exit. However the Creeper didn't fallow to stop him. When Jeremy opened the exit door he saw X.A.N.A. X.A.N.A. wore all black and was bald he still had his dual swords and pistol from last time.
"X.A.N.A, we need your help," said Jeremy.
X.A.N.A didn't say anything; he picked Jeremy up by the throat and brought him back to where the Creepers where. He held Jeremy over the railing and was motioning to let him go.
"See I don't work for good, I just needed to sway you guys to believe that I was good so I could help ZED escape his prison," said X.A.N.A.
"I knew it. You sneaky bastard," said Odd.
"Thanks for the recognition Odd. Now say good bye to Jeremy," said X.A.N.A.
X.A.N.A let go of Jeremy but Jeremy didn't fall.
"Nice save Adam," said Kai.
"Um Kai I'm not doing that," said Adam.
Kai looked around and then spotted Yumi. She was standing up and holding Jeremy in the air without her hands.
"What the Hell, I thought you guys had her," said X.A.N.A to a Creeper.
"I got her boss," said the Creeper.
The Creeper lunched for Yumi but was stopped by a large electric energy blast.
"What the fuck is going on here?" said X.A.N.A in a confused tone.
Immediately Kai and Adam began to take out the Creepers. Kai was shooting them in their heads with his Desert Eagle and Adam was throwing electric energy blasts at them. In no time X.A.N.A and three of his Creeper guards were left. Everyone else was in a fighting stance.
Look X.A.N.A arrived.
