I hope you guys like this chapter, I'm running on steam here. Not to mention that I have just gotten out of a massive writers block (that's why this chapter was late in getting up). I hope the next chapter will be better. Please let me know if you liked, loved, or hated this chapter okay.

The Chase Begins

Meldar looked at the vastly outspaced stars and with a deep moan from deep inside his chest, he heaved a rock the size of a small Florgus ball at a case of instruments. Vandanna was shocked, for Meldar had been acting in this fashion for the last few hours. She had noticed a slight reddening of his crests and she noticed that his voice was getting alot deeper and rougher. She didn't know why, but she had a new feelling of fear that was rising in her chest.

Meldar turned his back towards her and for the first time in Vandanna's life, she saw that Meldar was sweating. He looked nervous and he looked angry at the same time. Before Vandanna knew what was happening, she walked over and slightly gave him a small kiss on his cheek. Meldar glared at her and then pushing her from his way he floated to the far outpost of the cockpit. Vandanna couldn't understand what was going on.

"Meldar, what's wrong?" Vandanna asked.
"Nothing, mind your own business." Meldar hissed.
"For real, tell me." Vandanna insisted.
"Get lost." Meldar yelled.
"Meldar, I'm not gong to stop until I get the truth." Vandanna insisted.
"Fine, it's breeding time for us Velexians." Meldar said.
"That's it?" Vandanna said.
"Yep." Meldar said.

Angela made her usual rounds that day without trouble, but she had that feeling that something really bad was about to happen. Her heart had been beating very fast and she was shaking alot. Her attitude wasn't the best either. King Goobot and Grandma Taters noticed the signs and made sure that she wasn't to be bothered any that morning. Cindy and Libby saw it too, they made sure to stay out of her way. Jimmy was another case. He wanted to speak to her. He wanted to discuss something important with her. Something that would make her hit the roof.

"I hope Angela's okay." Libby said.
"Me too." Cindy agreed.
"She'll be fine." Grandma Taters stated.
"Are you sure?" Libby asked.
"Yes, she's just a little anxious is all." Grandma Taters said.
"You know, your not so bad." Libby said.
"Why thank you, your not so bad either." Grandma Taters said.

King Goobot listened from up on his perch in front of the controls that he was using to guide the ship in its direction of the planet that they were heading towards. He was also anxious, but for a different reason. His wife, Queen Moocan, was pregnant with his first child. She was in her second term. He really wanted to be there for the birth, but he had a feeling he wasn't.

"Hey up there." Libby yelled.
"What?" King Goobot yelled back.
"How much farther?" Libby asked.
"Thirty miles." King Goobot said.
"An hour to be exact." Grandma Taters added.
"Feels longer." Cindy said.
"I feel so excited." Libby exclaimed.
"Relax, this planet isn't much of a sight anyways." Grandma Taters stated.
"The planets name is what again?" Cindy asked.
"Planet Andornie I think it is." Grandma Taters said.
"But, I thought..." Cindy started.
"Yeah, well Angela talked us into it." King Goobot said.

Sheen watched as Jimmy paced about in a semicircle fashion. Jimmy was almost always the calm and cool type, but he was nervous and fidgety right now. It made him want to cry. Carl was asleep on his bed, snoring away in his dream world. Eustace was messing around with some type of pole that he was fashioning into a spear.

"Jimmy, why don't you take a nap?" Sheen asked.
"Because I don't want to." Jimmy said.
"You look tired." Eustace said. "You should take a nap."
"I'll rest when I get a chance to speak to Angela." Jimmy stated.

Angela walked into Jimmy, Sheen, Eustace and Carl's room with a slight pause at the doorway. Her eyes were bloodshot and she had her hands in fists. She didn't look happy. Jimmy moved out of her way just in time to avoid being stepped on. She walked over to the bed that Carl was sleeping on and sat down on it.

"What is it you wanted to speak to me about?" Angela asked.
"About the planet we are going to." Jimmy said. "Who are you going to contact?"
"A friend that you have already seen." Angela said.
"And that is..." Jimmy said.
"Gertrude." Angela said.
"She's just a girl." Jimmy exclaimed.
"And your just a boy." Angela countered.
"What has she to do with this trouble that you have us..." Jimmy was interrupted.
"I had nothing to do with this problem." Angela shouted.
"Sure you didn't." Jimmy said.
"Why do you always have to do this to me?" Angela asked.
"Why did you have to raise Meldar?" Jimmy asked.
"That falls under the catagory of none-of-your-business." Angela stated.

Cindy and Libby were walking past the bathroom when they heard the screams that was coming from the boy's room. As quuick as they could, they rushed towards it. What they saw was horrifying. Angela had Jimmy in a headlock on the bed. Jimmy was screaming his head off and Sheen had his mouth clamped on Angela's wrist. Cindy and Libby didn't waste any time. They ran over and separated Angela from Jimmy. Jimmy fell to the floor and within a few seconds he was cuddled up in a small ball at the foot of the bed. King Goobot, Grandma Taters, Professor Calamitous, Beautiful Gorgeous, baby Eddie and The Junk Man rushed in to help.

"Angela, stop." King Goobot yelled.
"Why are you doing this?" Grandma Taters asked.
"Jimmy wasn't doing a thing to you." Sheen exclaimed.
"She just went hostile." Carl exclaimed.
"I guess we haven't a choice." The Junk Man said.
"To the cells with you." King Goobot sighed.

Angela was led to the cells with her hands held behind her back. She felt a tear fall down her cheek. Her world was falling and her concious was failing her. Meldar had somehow won the power of controling her inner thoughts. And she couldn't tell anyone because he had control of her mind. Without knowing it, she started to ang her head up against the bars of her cell. The Junk Man had a really bad feeling of what was happening to her, but he just couldn't fingure it out. Suddenly, he had a notion to go towards the hull. And there, he found the mechanism that he had feared he would find.

The device was round in appearance and red in color. It was almost to tiny to notice, but the color was the give away. Quickly, The Junk Man removed the object and shutting it off he heard a scream from inside the cell room. He now knew that this object was the culprit. Quickly he ran to the cell that held Angela.

"Look at this guys." The Junk Man said.
"Its a consigator." King Goobot hissed.
"A what?" Cindy asked.
"A consigator is a device that makes you go crazy." Beautiful Gorgeous said.
"Then, that's why Angela..." Jimmy started.
"Yes," The Junk Man sighed.
"We are so sorry Angela." Beautiful Gorgeous said.
"No, I am." Angela said.
"Why?" Jimmy asked.

Vandanna watched as the red light on the consol turned to green. The trick hadn't worked the way they had expected it to. Meldar was furious, and he was even more determined to eliminate his mother. He wanted her out of the picture. For good. Vandanna knew what was coming, so she moved the controls into the orbiting planet and began following the smaller grayer ship. Meldar rubbed his hands in a greiving and dangerous way. Soon they started to laugh the hideous laugh that they had been holding for such an ocation.
