Matrix Generators
"Jimmy, slow down." Cindy yelled.
"Can't, I have to see that machine." Jimmy hissed.
"Then allow me to catch up." Cindy stated.
"Jimmy, can't we slow down a smidging?" Carl asked.
"Which machine are we to look at again?" Libby asked.
"The one that had alot of blue crystals in it." Jimmy said.
"I saw no machine with no blue crystals inside of it." Cindy said.
"Well, I did." Jimmy exclaimed.
Jimmy ran way ahead of the others, his brown hair was whisking back forcefully into his eyes and his lungs felt as if they would explode. But he couldn't stop, he couldn't afford to let Angela see what he and his friends were about to do. Libby and Cindy didn't know, neither did Sheen or Carl. Right now, they were just tagging along because he asked them to follow him. He, in no way, wanted Angela on his back no more than what was needed. She was already getting bitter every day.
Libby was almost out of breath when they reached the door that led into that room with all those noisy machines. She had no intention of cleaning no dirty diapers or burping any squirmish baby that was neglected by that woman that she use to like. She couldn't believe it, she and Cindy both had expected someone alot nicer but instead they had found a mean, grumpy woman with a sour attitude that took care of alien children.
Sheen and Carl didn't really understand why Angela was so grumpy, but they knew that she was as mean as a wild turkey on the rise for the peak of the season. Jimmy was even astonished by her attitude towards him. She had spent three hours each and every day yelling at him. She never yelled at Eustace or the others. She made them sleep in the dining room, while Tee and the others were allowed to sleep on warm beds. The only one of the League that she didn't respect was Eustace. He was also made to sleep in the dining room, but he was given a warmer blanket than they. He was also allowed to sleep on the couch.
Eustace slowly followed them into the spiraling stairway and down into the long red hallway. His careful steps didn't give away his presence. He knew what they were going to do, and he wanted to be a part of it. If not, at least have someone to talk to.No one else would, Angela wouldn't even talk to him and he was in her fan club. Why would someone so nice on the television be so mean in real life he didn't know, but he knew he didn't want to grow up.
"Jimmy, please tell us where we are going." Libby exclaimed.
"Keep your voice down." Jimmy whispered angrily.
"Not until you tell us." Libby insisted.
"Okay, okay." Jimmy sighed. " To that machine room."
"But Angela said we aren't to step foot in that room." Cindy protested.
"I want to know what was in that one machine." Jimmy stated.
"Jimmy, be reasonable." Libby stammered.
"Yeah Jimmy, Angela will really be mad." Cindy exclaimed.
"I don't care." Jimmy stammered.
Jimmy really didn't, all he wanted was to find out what Angela was really doing. Angela was up to something. Either it being illegal or not, it was suspitious enough to bring his attention to high wire. That baby was a prime example for him to begin thinking, then it was that machine that made the suits. Then he had seen the machine that held the blue crystals. He was really confused as to why these creatures needed so much stuff. The suits and the blue stuff he could see, but Angela taking care of them. That was the thing that led Jimmy to think that she was stealing children besides her own.
Jimmy slowly rounded the corner and fell into Beautiful Gorgeous, Professor Calamitous, Travoltron and Zix. For the first time in his life he was frightened. He felt his arms get goosebumps and he began to sweat. Beautiful Gorgeous seemed to of felt his fear as she kneeled down and ruffled his hair. Jimmy hissed at her. He didn't want her touching him. He walked away from her and went down the red hallway. This house was so big, but it was small on the outside.
"Jimmy, hold on, remember what Angela is like." Libby stated.
"Yeah, she'll chew your head off." Cindy added.
"She will Jimmy." Zix added.
"I don't care, I want to know what is in that room." Jimmy protested.
"Fine, it's your head though." Zix said.
"Jimmy, be reasonable." Professor Calamitous said. "She is somewhat mean I'll admit."
"Somewhat!" Cindy exclaimed.
"Yeah, she's just a teddy bear." Libby said.
"She's just waiting for someone to cross her path." Cindy added.
"Why is she that mean anyways?" Jimmy thought.
Jimmy rounded the corner and bypassed the room Angela was in. He only took a few minutes of his time to look in. Angela was no where in sight, so he walked away. His mind was a fury thuder of explanations of why she was not in that room. Eustace, Professor Calamitous, Beautiful Gorgeous, Zix and Travoltron followed blissfully behind him. Libby and Cindy though, didn't. They sneaked into the room and slowly walked towards the fire place.
The fire place had alot of paper ashes in it and the room smelt of smoke. Her desk had alot of ashes and paper clippings on it. Libby walked over to the desk with an expressionless look on her face, Cindy walked over to the fire place. Something inside made her think that there was a secret passage or something like that there.
"Hey Cindy." Libby called.
"Yeah" Cindy said.
"Come here." Libby said.
Libby was leaning over the paper clippings on the desk. She had a scared expression on her face. Her eyes were wide open. Cindy followed and saw that she was reading an article on Meldar himself.
Strikes Again
From all we know is that our favorite game show, Intergalatic Showdown, was canceled a few weeks ago. By the hands of a human boy named Jimmy Neutron. Meldar Prime, the host, was in a fury panic and suceeded to attacking the western fronteir of Planet Gorlock and destroying the planet. He next attacked Planets Nebletron and Brainicus.
So why hasn't Meldar struck anymore? Is it because he has taken his revenege on the worlds that made him a fool? Or is it because he is waiting for the next chance he can get to destroy the only living planet that has eluded him? Maybe it's both, maybe Meldar is just waiting for his next chance. Maybe we should just wait for the next news announcement. I know one thing; I wouldn't want to live on Earth if I were you.
Cindy looked at Libby fearfully. They knew now why Angela was so mean. She was trying to force herself to not believe it. She was a true mother. No mother wanted to believe that her child was causing mischief and horror to other worlds. Libby now understood. She felt the tears slowly stream down her face. Cindy, too, felt tears flowing.
Jimmy, Sheen, Carl, Eustace, Professor Calamitous, Beautiful Gorgeous, Zix and Travoltron were way down the hallway when they noticed that Cindy and Libby were not with them. Jimmy didn't really care, but Sheen and Eustace did. He was litteraly dragged back to were they had stopped a few minutes ago. And it was there that they found the girls.
"There you guys are." Eustace exclaimed.
"Come on guys, we are burning the time..." Jimmy started.
"What are you guys DOING?" Angela screamed.
Angela was in a furious mood. Her hair was all over the place and her eyes were very shiny. She had her hands in fists and her feet were firmly against the floor. Libby and Cindy set out a little yelp and ran behind the boys. Angela stormed towards them but stopped when they moved a few steps back. Her eyes drifted towards her desk and the clippings that were strewn all about her desk top.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Libby asked.
"Tell you what?" Angela asked.
"That you were trying to not believe." Cindy said.
"Believe what?" Angela said.
"Believe that your son was causing so much destruction." Libby said.
"Oh that." Angela stammered.
"Your trying to protect him?" Jimmy said.
"No, she's trying to think it never happened." Cindy said.
"You don't know the fear, hatred and pain I've gone through." Angela said.
"If that is true, then why are you so mean?" Jimmy yelled.
"She's trying to..." Libby said.
"SHUT UP." Jimmy screamed.
Angela pulled outher chair and pushed herself into it. Libby was the only one to see the tears slowly flowing down her cheeks and chin. She saw the shivering lips and the eyes flutter open and close. She saw the signs of a woman that really didn't mean what she had done, she saw that this woman was just acting on instinct and her will of life.
"Angel, we are so sorry." Libby said.
"No, you shouldn't be." Angela said. "It was all my doing."
"No it wasn't." Libby said.
"I'm sorry, I feel so lost." Angela sighed.
Libby saw Angela reach her hand to the small drawer on the left side of the desk. She saw Angela open it, Angela brought out some red circled crystals. The crystals looked so much like the crystal generators Meldar used. Only these were a flaming red color. Meldar's and Gertrude's were blue and pink.
"Those are pretty." Libby commented.
"Thanks," Angela said. "I made them myself."
"Really, how?" Cindy asked.
"How'd you get the material to make that?" Jimmy asked.
"I made them twenty one years ago." Angela said.
"But you would of been..." Jimmy started.
"I was nine years old." Angela finished for him. "When I made these."
Jimmy slowly walked over and took a good look at the crystals. No doubt about it, they were exact clones of Meldar's and Gertrudes. His eyes moistened and he looked up at Angela. He now understood. She was trying to save this species. Cindy looked at Jimmy and made a motion for him and her to leave the room. They sneaked out quietly.
"What?" Jimmy asked.
"Nothing, just wanted to um talk." Cindy said.
"Okay, talk about what?" Jimmy said.
"Talk about the world." Cindy whispered.
"Which one?" Jimmy asked.
"This one." Cindy said.
Cindy slowly moved closer to Jimmy. He had no idea that she was intending to do something that she had only done in her dreams. Her blonde hair and green eyes shined brightly and clearly stated that she had that secret crush on him.
"Um, Cindy what are you do..." Jimmy started.
Jimmy had no chance to continue his comment, Cindy had jumped on him and had given him the biggest, slobbiest kiss in the world. Jimmy was almost speachless and breathless. His mind had totally shut itself off. He could no longer feel his hands or feet. And he had no knowledge that Angela, Jimmy, Sheen, Carl, Eustace, Professor Calamitous, Beautiful Gorgeous, Zix and Travoltron were looking at him and Cindy. He heard the giggling, but he couldn't move.
"And I thought that I'd never see it happen." Libby laughed.
"So, Libby wanna try..." Sheen asked.
"Get lost." Libby snapped.
