Well well, long wait huh? I hope this action filled chapter fixes that! I've been having a BLAST watching the newest episodes! I'm very active on Tumblr if you guys want to know anything about me or my thoughts on the new episode! I'm happy that Ducktales is back because let's just say I've been nothing but heartbroken for months and I could use a lot of cheering up from the show. Also I haven't updated much because I plan on adding traits from the recent episodes into the story and I want to give time to everyone to catch up.
Angelwings2002 - I hope this chapter is worth the wait to XD. Life, it's harsh right? I am feeling better. Old situations are being healed while new ones are also healing. And thank you, I like odd team ups.
GiddyReflections - I plan on keeping it that way too no matter what. 2021 is predicted to be worse! XD. AAAAHHHH why must God do this to us!? Oh Gandra will snap at one point, I promise you that. Donald will always be the type to look after those he loves. And I drink boiling water, the heat helps me relax.
Boss Teal - He's Jpbake. Hmmmmm, I mean it's not a bad idea if done right XD. I loved Veggie Tales as a kid. If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile!
Disney Boy - Will things turn out well? Maybe not for everyone. Will anyone escape my messed up mind?
Unknown - Things are getting better. I might need therapy soon but better. "Good bye everyone, I'll remember you all in therapy!" Honestly though, I am feeling better and had a great holiday with my mom and favorite aunts. Hoope the same for you. And I don't know, will she get her memory back or will she think she's 15 forever? Yes pride…. Totally pride… it's not like I forgot or anything, it's all on pride…. And you'll see. Of course he cares! And here I am just in time for the finally right!?
Jpbake - Thank you, I love you and wish you the best in life.
Lilbree - Ooooh much more will happen in this one. And thank you for all the compliments!
Average Everyday Sane Psycho - I hope so too, bad start but it'll get better. Thank you for the compliment, it means a lot.
Technoduck - Sorry for taking my sweet time! XD You should do what makes you happy. Do both! As long as you're happy with your work that's all that should matter. If you make at least one person smile then that's great! Fun fact! I was originally going to have them at the age 22 going on this whole adventure, but thought I should have them younger. Mostly because they'er going to make stupid desisions in the story and act immatuerly and the brain doesnt fully develop in matuerity I believe until 25? So I wanted them younger for everything to make better sense on behavior. So yeah, it's a loooooooooooooong flash back with breaks to the present to break any tension. XD.
Guest - In summary, puppy gained a selfish image. She had tons who loved her but she didn't pay much attention to them until people started hating her for deleting helpful criticism from guests. And she only responded to positive reviews. She was updating 100 worded chapters at a fast pace even after being told to slow down to make room for new writers that need time in the spotlight as well but she kept pushing them down with fast updates. Even a friend of mine had trouble finding my story because of it. If you dig in deep enough you'll see the hate in her reviews. And you'll see why. If they're not there she most likely deleted them. It's ok to love her, but what she was doing made a lot of readers mad because it gave her a selfish image. I don't hate her, but I can see why so many don't like her.
Well on within the show!
Soft music filled Lizzettes ears. Sweet, soft harmony of a motherly voice. She walked around a dark room with nothing but the sound inside with her. She gently swayed as she walked, almost dancing to the rhythm. She began to hum to the music as well, completely at bliss and feeling safe.
Without opening her eye's, Lizzette felt a warm hand grab hers and began to pull her away. She was able to hear a faint voice calling her name, but she didn't bother paying attention to it. She continued to walk farther away from it, enjoying every second. Soon enough it felt like she was in a trance. Happily walking on water, every step she took caused a ripple of baby blue.
"Lizzette!" She heard someone call out to her again but didn't pay much attention. She continued to walk deeper into the abyss, letting whoever was holding her take her away.
"Keep your eyes shut my little arrow, mommy has a surprise for you." She heard her mom say. Lizzette gave a happy smile and giggled like a kid. She felt her mom slowly let go of her hand, leaving her in the darkness.
"You know I love you, right?" She heard her say. Her voice was sweet as honey and smooth like silk. Lizzette nodded her head with a smile.
"Lizzette, wake up!" She heard the voice call to her again.
"No one loves you more than me. You know that?" Her mother said. Lizzette simply nodded yes, "So there's no need to listen to anyone but me. My love for you is the only one you need."
"Lizzette your burning!" The voice cried out, this time it was louder.
"Boyd?" Lizzette opened her eyes and looked behind her when she recognized his voice.
"I said there's no need to listen to anyone else!" Her mother said harshly as she spun her back around, only, no one was there. She looked around the black void, trying to find her mom. The calm atmosphere was starting to heat up, she could barely breath but her mind wasn't on that now.
"Mother?" Lizzettes voice echoed, the soft humming had echoed leaving Lizzette in eerie silence. Soon she heard two voices, arguing and yelling. One male, one female, along with loud crashing sounds. The sound of plates shattering was enough to make Lizzette jump, almost giving her a heart attack. Her heart was racing as the yelling got louder and louder, as if it was coming towards her. She looked all around her but saw nothing but pitch darkness. The sounds of doors slamming echoed across the void, making her shut her ears at how loud it was.
"Mother? Father?" Lizzette recognized the voices. If only she knew what they were saying. The sound of yelling and fighting only got worse and less understandable. She fell to her knees, her hands still covering her ears. She couldn't take it anymore, she wanted the screaming to stop, she'll do anything to make it stop. Tears began to escape, dripping on the ground, "What's going on?"
Lizzettte was so confused on why her parents were fighting. The crashing sounds, the slamming, the yelling, it all got so loud that it was practically right next to her. The heat began to rise, nearly suffocating the young girl.
"Lizzette!" Boyd finally managed to drag the girl out of bed. He grabbed her shoulders and sat her up. Lizzette finally opened her eye's, gasping for air from what she just dreamt. Drips of sweat were streaming down her face as she tried to breath.
"Your burning," Boyd felt her forehead, it was true, her face was redder than fire. Boyd got up on his feet and rushed to the door, "I'll get Persephone, you might have a fever."
Lizzette simply nodded at his request. She couldn't really say much, in fact she didn't know what to say. What was that dream, a subconscious message? Or maybe it was a memory of some kind?
"Can't be a memory," Lizzette shook that thought off right away. She laid back down in her bed and looked out the window. The sun was just peeking out from the horizon and she smiled at the beautiful sight, "Mother and Father are happy at the mansion."
She assured herself nothing was wrong. It was just one big nightmare. Nothing less, nothing more.
In the underworld.
"I hate you." Lena said as she continued to walk in the dark tunnels with Abigor.
"So you said the past few hours." Abigor rolled his eyes.
"Past few hours? We've been here for at least 8 hours now! We're going in circles!" Lena argued.
"No we're not! I know exactly where we are and stop yelling!" Abigor harshly hushed her.
"You're the one that's yelling!" Lena snapped back.
"No, I'm whispering with anger, there's a difference." Abigor debated back.
"What are we even doing and why do we need to be so quiet?" Lena hated that Abigor was leaving her in the dark about all this. Throughout this whole situation, he has done nothing but shush her and tell her to be quiet. Abigor paused in his step for a while, his glowing blue eyes looking around the dark cave. He was careful, but for what?
"They'll hear you." He whispered as softly as he could. The eerie sound of his voice was enough to send chills down Lenas spine.
"They'll? Who's they?" Lena whispered even lower now. Abigor carefully looked around, gems being the only illumination they had. He looked to his right, left and even up.
"We're close to one." Abigor confirmed. Lena just looked at him with a facial expression that almost looked like she was offended. Why wasn't he telling her anything?
"One what? Abigor if you want people to actually like you, you have to stop keeping secrets!" Lena scolded.
"What ever, it's not like you would care if I had secrets or not." Abigor arguned, his eyes still looking ahead as he walked deeper in the cave. The sparkles of the gems spotted his face, giving him a menacing look, which Lena did not like. This guy was closed tighter than a clam with no signs of opening up.
"With a guy that never opens up, it's impossible to think why Webby liked you." Lena scoffed. Abigor froze in place when she said this. His body tensed up, his breathing became heavy.
"What does she have to do with any of this?" He asked, his voice colder than stone.
"Webby is a cheerful, happy girl who over shares. You are a close minded idiot who wouldn't open up to anyone, not even to his own girlfriend." Lena told him.
"I opened up to Webby plenty of times." Abigor spun around to glare at her.
"Oh yeah, then why did you put her under a spell to protect her instead of telling her? And don't give me the reason that Magica or Merlock were watching. You fully know we could handle ourselves." Lena said, her tone becoming harsher.
"What ever." Abigor scoffed and continued to walk with Lena behind him.
"Oh I'm not finished," Lena warned him as she followed, "I already have you figured out."
"Pff, yeah right." Abigor scoffed again.
"You were too closed off. You thought you could solve this problem by yourself without help. Well look where that took you. Everyone you cared about is captured, hurt or believes you don't care for them. Whenever anyone would ask you a question you give a dry response just so people will leave you alone. You're prideful, stubborn, play victim whenever you're caught….."
"Ok I get it!" Abigor spun around and shouted at her. Lena for once felt some fear, just the way his eyes glowed blue, almost illustrating the dark cave themselves. Lena pinned herself against a wall as Abigor continued to glare at her with fire in his eyes, "I have anger issues, I have issues opening up, I have trust issues too! I can't ask for help even to save my own life and all I do is dig my own grave! Digging for a way out and hoping everything will be ok. But guess what? Not everything is ok! Ok? Some people just can't open up because of what they experienced! And yeah I know it's a stupid reason and it's no excuse for hurting others but it's all I got! All I ever did since I was a kid was lie, cheat, and beat around the bush as long as it meant I never had to open up to anyone! Because if I came out….. If I came out I would get beaten, humiliated, and ridiculed for opening up! It's a sign of weakness, can't you see? So yeah! I'm as closed off as a clam from the world! Because the world has always hated me since the day I was born! Everyone I loved, hated me for opening up! So I much rather have people hate me for who they think I am rather than hate me for who I am! So tell me one good reason why I should open up to anyone. Why should I make myself vulnerable to someone who'll just break me into pieces? The last time I ever opened up to anyone was to my b…. friend, and you know what happened?"
Silence filled the air. Lena just stared at the angry duck, trying to process everything he just said. She realized how he stuttered at the end, but as she tried to figure out why, Abigor again yelled out.
"I was beaten and thrown around like a helpless animal. Well from that day on I promised myself I'm not going to be helpless again. That's why I don't ask for help or get anyone involved. Looking to someone for help is for the weak and it only puts others in danger. Like now, Lizzette is at the edge of having her heart as a hard stone and Webby has probably been taken away too….. I may not show it and I'm horrible with expressing my feelings but I always loved them. Webby and Lizzette are all I have… or I had Webby. And now I'm going to lose Lizzette… they were the only two people in my life that could actually change me." Abigors voice started to break and quiet down. Lena could see steam coming from his eyes, his tears extinguishing any fire he had left in his eye. He shut them tight and looked away from the girl, his face looking down in shame.
"Change you?" Lena repeated with a light laugh, "Not only are you a coward, you're pretty naive too."
"Excuse me?" Abigor looked over his shoulder, his voice much calmer now.
"You honestly think Webby and Lizzette could change you? No power here on earth is capable of changing anyone," Lena explained as she took a few steps forward. She passed Abigor and took the lead for a while, "The only person with the power to change you is you. You change yourself for others. Others don't change you."
"You lost me." Abigor mumbbled.
"No I didn't," Lena shook her head, "You know fully well what I mean. Take me for example, I was under my aunts control for years. Literally. She possessed me and it was as horrible as it sounds. It wasn't until I met Webby when I realized I couldn't bring myself to hurt her any more than I already did. Webby didn't change me, Webby inspired me to change myself. I changed for her because I love her."
Abigor just walked on in silence, the sound of their footsteps were the only thing audible. His head in deep thought at what he was just told. Knowing this was most likely too much for him to handle right now, Lena shifted the conversation, "So who was that friend of yours?"
"Just some old buddy of mine…. he's probably forgotten all about me by now." Abigor sounded sad at that thought.
On the other side, the sun has fully risen and Louie was just getting out of bed. He glanced at the calendar near the bed to see today was his last day…. for something. He still had no clue. Whatever it was, Goldie was the one helping him get closer to the goal. Louie hopped out of bed and made his way downstairs. He nearly yelped when he saw Gandra cutting her hair short outside. Her blue eyes had some dark circles indicating she had no sleep.
"You ok?" Louie stood by the door frame. Gandra had just finished cutting her blond hair so it was an inch above her shoulders. She looked over her shoulder, her eye's losing that innocent gleam they always had.
"I couldn't sleep at all last night. I kept getting some weird visions," Gandra admitted. She brushed out her hair letting the bangs she made gently rest on her forehead. She no longer looked like the innocent secretary at a bean factory, she looked a bit more rebellious and kinda dangerous, "This time it was….. It was strange. I was locked up in a dark room by some soldiers in egg suites. It was a place….. dark, gloomy, spider webs everywhere….. I know Goldie says we have to find out if these visions are some kind of alternative universe but I'm afraid."
"Afraid? Afraid of what?" Louie asked, leaning against the door frame. Gandra loomed back at him with a frown.
"What she says is true. What if I was a bad person and I deserved to be locked up? Here, I have a perfect life. Peaceful, basic, and secured. Everything in this world feels so true… while these visions seem to be about a world that's so harsh and false."
Louie looked on at the blond lady with shock. His eyes moving back and forth, trying to figure out what to say, "This is pretty heavy to say to a kid wouldn't you say?"
"Sorry, I'm just being insecure that's all." Gandra shook her head and moved her gaze back at the sky. Louie stayed leaning against the door frame, deep in thought. His visions were just as bad as hers. The plane crash, losing his uncle, seeing his family get zapped into another time.
"I lost my mom." Louie mumbbled.
"What?" Gandra looked back at the young boy. Louie made eye contact with her, his eye filling with sadness.
"My visions, I lost my mom, my uncle Scrooge, and I almost lost my whole family….. I don't like the thought of these visions being true either."
"You two think I have it any better?" Goldie came into the scene. She had her hair in a low ponytail and her bangs were rolled up. She walked out of the house and stood in between them, "My visions included me throwing Louie under the bus and letting him get tied up and ready to be used as a piñata. I stole and hurt people. These visions aren't pretty but it's no mere coincidence that we're having these. This world might feel like there's truth but it's fake. Life isn't this easy, it's complex."
She pulled out the ring from her pocket and handed it to Louie.
"I started having my visions when I came into contact with this. Gave me visions every night and I just had to write them down and analyze them. Night after night, I discovered these visions had some connection to Gandras. When I noticed she was having visions too, I put two and two together."
"When did your visions start?" Louie asked Gandra.
"As long as I can remember. They didn't become stronger until I saw the head phones. Ever since then I've been going crazy." She explained.
"And I assume your visions became stronger when you came in contact with this ring?" Goldie looked down at Louie. The young boy nodded yes giving Goldie a grin, "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Goldie shut the door and walked past them. Gandra and Louie looked at one another in confusion.
"Where?" Louie asked.
"You'll see." Goldie looked back at them with a smirk.
With Daisy, the woman was running across the woods. She had slept nearby some trees, hoping she was safe. She did as Donald asked and ran towards the mansion. She stopped behind some bushes and peaked over them, barely able to see the mansions gate.
"What am I doing? That mansion is a death trap, I can't go back," Daisy argued with herself, "Scrooge is captured, Huey too, and pretty much anyone that can be a help! Gyro, Fenton, Gandra, oh what am I supposed to do!? I'm no super genius, or know how to fly a plane."
Daisy sighed and leaned back on a tree. She pulled out the broken necklace from her pocket and twirled around the gem between her fingers. Studying every feature.
"I almost fell for a trap too, what use can I be in a big adventure like this? What use can I be in a family that's all about adventuring?" Daisy thought out loud, her voice slowly becoming shaky with sadness. Her eye's kept looking at the gem, noticing a small crack on it. Must've broken while in her pocket, shame, it's such a beautiful gem, deadly but beautiful. Who would've thought these harmless looking things would cause so much chaos?
"Yeah, I know that broken feeling little gem. Not being a part of the big plan or failing at the plan," Daisy nearly cursed herself for talking to a gem. She let the blue bird's words repeat in her mind, talking about how she was basically no one in an amazing family, "Broken, useless compared to the rest of the gems. Just like me in this family. "
Daisy gave out one last sigh as she placed the gem back in her pocket. She heard the gates to the mansion open causing her to slowly look over the bushes. She watched as Launchpad drove the limo with Huey inside. Launchpad had a new addition to his uniform, a brooch with an amber gem in the middle.
"Oh no." Daisy whimpered knowing this meant Launchpad was now trapped too. She thought about any place these two might be going. The beach? Looking for their next victim? The money bin! A flashback of her reading the journal played in her head.
Main core for information; Money Bin. Gyro, Fenton and Gandra will be providing any progress and ideas to the others.
That's where they must be going, and that's where Daisy had to go
Back in the underworld, Lena was ready to wrap her hands around Abigor and crunch every bone and pop every vein in his body.
"A titan!" Lena panicked. Abigor led them to a large cave that held a sleeping titan. The bars holding it in were wide enough for them to slip through, only, the titan was in the way.
"Titan's were the children of the primordial deities of earth and heaven. Zeus locked them in here hundreds of years ago. If we want to get out, this is how."
"Ok, so we just need to slip by this sucker. You know I can help?" Lena asked, gesturing to the titan. Abigor shook his head no and took a deep breath in.
"I know these titans better than you. Just follow my lead. Hydros is the god of primordial waters. As long as we're careful to not slip he'll stay asleep." Abigor explained.
"I can just-" Lena was about to tell him her plan, but Abigor was quick to act.
The cave was dim but they could still see a bit of Hydros. Icy, lanky body shaped like a skeleton. His hands were tucked under his head to be used like a pillow. Spikes made of ice stood up from it's back. The face was like a skeleton with only holes to show his nose, mouth and eyes.
Lena nearly bit her nails as she watched Abigor climb on his back, his hands burned from the contact with the ice but he wasn't letting go. He pulled himself up, his feet slipping a few times from how slippery it was. He managed to grab a spike from the spin to secure his weight. He used all his strength in his arm to pull himself up onto the back. He was careful to stand up so he didn't slip and fall. He held onto the spikes to make sure he didn't lose balance before looking down.
"See? Easy?" Abigor noticed Lena wasn't on the ground. Instead she was right next to him standing on the icy titan no problem.
"Powers. You know you love them." Lena hovered a bit to show how she got up. Abigor just rolled his eyes in annoyance, although he did let a small smile from the thought of how ridiculous he must've looked rushing in.
"Something on your mind?" Lena asked him. Abigor wiped off the smile and returned to his frown.
"I was still able to get up here without your help." He said.
"True, so you want to climb down by yourself as well?" Lena asked, a bit cocky. Abigor looked down to see the climb was going to be steep and one wrong move can cause him to slip and fall. Hurting himself and waking up the titan.
"Watch me." Abigor accepted the challenge. He held onto the spikes and started his way down.
"Are you really that scared of admitting you need help?" Lena couldn't believe this guy's pride. But it was entertaining to watch him struggle.
"I don't need help, a real man helps himself." Abigor admitted.
"Who told you that? Your friend?" Lena asked, adding stress on friends. Abigor stopped for a split second, his eyes changing from determined to a spark of sadness.
"Don't mention him, he's long gone." He said.
"I'm just asking." Lena shrugged, she slowly flew down next to him where he was still holding still, "I'm just saying, it's weird how you want to take care of those you love and yourself without opening up about anything to anyone. We know Lizzettes story, so what's yours? Why are you so stubborn and closed off?"
"Nothing special." Abigor kept the sadness in his eyes as he tightened his grip on the ice. If he held any together he swore his hand would start forming blisters, "I already said opening up does nothing but hurt you."
"So your friend was the one that humiliated and beat you?" Lena asked, she was more than determined to get this guy to open up.
"Shut up." Abigor mumbled, his body hard as a statue.
"And the world hated you since the day you were born? That's too extreme, who would hate a baby?" Lena kept poking holes in his logic.
"Shut up." Abigor said much harsher, trying to stay quiet.
"Who was it really that hated you? Who humiliated you and beat you? Because this all seems really crazy….."
"I said shut up!" Abigor snapped at her, letting his fist punch the ice in anger. Big mistake, the titan rolled over and away from the bars. Abigor fell off the titans back and landed near the bars while Lena got trapped by the titans hand. The palm slapped her out of the air and the long claws surrounded her like a cage.
"Oh great." Lena mumbled.
"That's what you get for poking your nose where it doesn't belong." Abigor growled. Lena looked over at him to see the titans body was clear as ice. She could see a blurry image of him behind the ice body. His eyes were glowing blue once more from anger, but she could see trails of fiery tears falling to the ground.
"I just wanted to know why you think the whole world is against you!" Lena snapped back. Her voice caused the titan to squirm once more. He moved his hand closer to his body, trapping Lena even more.
"The world was always against me. That's why I lie and hide everything. The world hates people like me." Abigor climbed the titan and looked down at her, wiping away any tears he had left.
"Like you? What do you mean like you? Why are you so scared of opening up?" Lena grunted. She used her magic to move a claw away and slipped through the titans hand.
"Because opening up does nothing but hurt you!" Abigor stomped his foot against the titan, making it jerk it's head up. The titan looked around to see Lena next to his head. Angered, he lifted his fist and was about to slam it against her. Lenas attention was still on Abigor because to her, he was the biggest issue. She simply created a force field above her to block the hit, her eye's never leaving Abigor.
"That line is already getting old." She pushed the fist away and stomped her way to the side of the titan. The titan shifted its body to roll away from Lena and swish Abigor against his body and a bar.
"It's the truth!" Abigor grunted in pain but his anger didn't even let him acknowledge his pain.
"Not the full truth!" Lena flew up on the titans side and looked at the stuck Abigor.
"How do you know?!" He struggled to get out.
"You can't just claim the world hates you without a proper reason." Lena argued, not even needing to look at the titan to avoid a punch from it.
"Yes I can if it's the truth! Now shut up and leave me alone!" Abigor shouted so loud his voice echoed. He sent a blast of fire when the titan tried to throw another hit, making it jerk back.
"Please, how do you know it's true that the world hates you?" Lena scoffed, sending a blast of magic to dodge another hit from the titan.
"Because my parents told me that since I was in elementary school!" Abigor snapped so hard he summoned a huge blast of fire between him and the titan. Sending the titan rolling away from them. Lena landed on her feet while Abigor fell on his back. She didn't need to look back to know the titan was coming for them. The ground was already shaking. She grabbed Abigor by the collar of his shirt and dragged him past the bars right when the titan dived down for them. They barely made it out but that didn't lessen the tension.
"Your parents told you that?" Lena pulled Abigor against a rock and looked down at him. He looked defeated, like he finally had his pride just broken in little pieces. Lena's eyes softened when she realized it was true, "Why?"
"Because I opened up to them about one thing, and they yelled at me. Father beat me to the ground saying I was worthless as a man while mother felt openly ashamed of me. Not to mention they humiliated me by telling their friends about how I opened up to them-" Abigors breathing had become heavy, like he was suffocating and desperately needed air, "I'm a worthless, helpless, poor excuse for a man, who isn't worthy of protecting anyone that I love."
Lena couldn't believe what she was hearing. All his life he was told this? Since he was just a kid? Only one word lingered in her mind, "Why? What did you open up about?"
Abigor wiped away any trace of tears from his eye's before glaring back at her. No more sadness, just the same cold look he's always held. He stood up without a word, looking at her as if she just said something offensive. He roughly fixed his jacket before turning his back on her. And off he went.
"Ok, don't tell me." Lena saw he wasn't going to open up any more, she just followed him.
At the Money Bin, Daisy walked into the building, making sure everything was empty. No staff, no one at the desk, just empty. She took a deep breath in before walking in. She quietly and swiftly opened the door to the stairs, knowing using the elevator would alert everyone she's here. As she walked down, she was careful to not make a sound, afraid of what the fake friends and family would do to her. Would they send her to the other side? Torture her? Hopefully she didn't need to find out.
Once at the bottom, she slowly opened the door to the lab to see everyone was at one corner of the lab. She could hear them talking but not quite make out what they were saying. She tiptoed away the door, slowly letting it close. She dived down behind a desk, peeking out from the side. She spotted Fenton who took out a glass box that held H.E.R.O inside with a label that read original. The little robot was shaking, cradling itself in the corner of the glass box. His eyes were curved down to show he was worried and afraid.
"He failed to get Daisy you say?" Fenton asked Huey.
"Yeah, useless scrap of metal couldn't even trap the lady even with extra nanites in him." Huey spat out and glared at the small robot, "I want a robot that can do everything he can but more!"
"H.E.R.O is already impressive." Gyro looked over a pad and read off his traits, "Scanning, electricity, strength, the magnets inside him allow him to fly, and he breaks apart and rebuilds. Along with adapting, capable of learning new skills by watching others."
"Yeah I know, but I want more!" Huey demanded, "Make him stronger! Faster! Smarter!"
"Not possible." Gandra came out of the door with something in her hand, "Water proof was all I could add." Gandra told Huey.
"What about a stronger shell? Can't you increase it?" Huey asked.
"In order for me to increase his shell I have to delete some traits. I can delete his water poof trait to make his shell indestructible." Gandra explained, a little annoyed.
"Why can't we do both?" Huey asked.
"If we add too much into H.E.R.O it can overheat him," Huey gave a low growl when she said this, but what she said next made his eye's light up, "Which is why we made copies, so we can have multiple H.E. for different situations."
Gandra placed a red colored H.E.R.O on the table to show Huey. The red dressed boy looked down at it in awe, "What makes him different?"
"His shell is harder than rock, he produces heat and fire instead of electricity, 5 times stronger than the original, and he can break apart and rebuild. The only thing is he can't fly and his intelligence isn't the best." Gandra explained. Huey looked at the little guy like it was the greatest thing ever.
"Aww yeah, this little guy is it." Huey gave a toothy smile, but a smile that made Daisy very uneasy. This was definitely not Huey.
"We also made this one," Fenton took out another H.E.R.O copy, this one was pure black with white light up eye's, "This one can break apart and rebuild just like the original expect, he can rebuild into anything. H.E.R.O, transform!"
On command, the little black robot broke apart and rebuilt itself into a working lamp. Daisy gasped when she saw this unfold. They were using Hueys invention to create more with unique abilities.
"Nice, so he can transform into anything." Huey was impressed.
"And his shell is nearly indestructible and his intelligence is high up." Fenton explained.
"Ah, I forgot to mention, we have one more example in the experiment room
Let me just get her." Gyro left. Daisy couldn't wait anymore, she had to make a move now. She got down on all fours and crawled towards the group of fake friends, her eyes locked on the original H.E.R.O.
"How long do we have?" Huey asked suddenly.
"Until Dewey is fully consumed by the blood stone? About midnight tonight." Gandra shrugged. Daisy slipped her way behind the desk that had H.E.R.O on it, all while listening in on the conversation.
"You think Donald and Della will find him in time?" Huey asked.
"Most likely not, there's multiple hideouts all around the world. As long as Lunaris gets those two to the Egyption hideout, we won't have to worry for those two." Gandra told him. Daisy slammed her hand over her beak when she heard that. Lunaris was helping them? How? Where was he? Taking Della and Donald?
"Don't tell me….." She whispered. The puzzles fell together the more she thought about it.
"Sending them away to the farthest hideout, giving little to no time for rescue to come if we're discovered. Smart." Huey complemented the plan.
"Lunaris always was a master strategist." Fenton added in.
"Here she is!" Gyro announces. He placed down a gold and white robot with a giant metal bow on the back of the head, "Like to call this one, Little Alpha. She's the best we've come up with so far. Her shell is made of gold and white gold, making her shell very flexible and difficult to crack. One hit may cause a dent but the nanites inside can fix her up at lightning speed. The bow on her head is made of diamonds that can form a hard shield when threatened. Waterproof, can only hover since gold is heavy making it too hard to fly, break apart and rebuild, and thanks to the magnets we added in her, she can attract anything magnetic towards her."
"She doesn't stick to magnets?" Huey was more than impressed with this last one. His eye's couldn't leave her, it was enough to prevent him from seeing someone swipe H.E.R.O from the desk.
"Gold repels from magnets, meaning she will not stick to anything." Gyro explained.
"Whoa, what are you waiting for? Turn her on!" Huey was about to grab the small robot but Gyro pulled her back.
"She's still in the experimental stage. We need to run a few tests before turning her on." He said as he placed Alpha back in her glass case. Fenton and Gandra did the same to their robots as well.
"Where did you even get the gold and diamonds to create her….. Scrooge's money bin?" Huey concluded in a second.
"That money bag is hogging all the cash, I'm sure he won't miss a few cups of gold missing from his bin." Gyro shrugged.
"Where's H.E.R.O?" Fenton noticed the glass case with the original was missing.
Knowing she didn't have time on the stairs, Daisy sprinted for the elevator. She pushed for the first floor faster than she could think. Before anyone knew it, the doors shut and she was already her way up. All the scientists glanced at one another with a bored expression.
"Who's going after?" Fenton asked as if this was no big deal.
Inside the elevator, Daisy took H.E.R.O out of the glass case. Thankful for his rescuer, H.E.R.O let out a small squeak and hugged Daisy's hand.
"Awe, your welcome little guy." Daisy smiled. The short moment was cut short when the elevator shook. The force was enough to make Daisy lose her balance and fall down, "What was that?"
Oh how she wished she didn't ask that question. A loud banging noise came from above the elevator, getting louder with every hit. Daisy held onto H.E.R.O tight, ducking her head, hoping whatever it was wouldn't get in easily. As the loud bang kept getting louder and louder, the lights began to flickered making the ladies heart race. After a minute or so of noisy torture, it stopped, the lights stopped flickering and everything was silent. Daisy was hesitant but she slowly looked up, preparing to see anything that may scare her. Nothing but a small hole on the ceiling.
"This isn't good." Daisy whispered. She stood back on her feet with H.E.R.O shaking in her hands. She took a small step towards the hole, her eye's never leaving it. Inch by inch, she walked closer, getting a better view of the outside of the elevator. It was pitch black, nothing but darkness. Daisy was more than confused for a second, but only for a second. Since a second was all she had to react when two red eyes glowed in the dark before a blast of fire rained down towards them. Daisy let out a scream and threw herself away from the hole.
She panicked when she noticed the robot outside had broken apart and the nanites began to climb down like a group of spiders. In a flash, H.E.R.O shot out a string of lighting towards it. The lighting shocked the nanites causing them to retreat back out of the elevator. Daisy let out a sigh of relief. H.E.R.O slipped out of her hands and flew towards the hole. He flew out and landed with confidence. He looked to his left and right, looking for the copy of him. The darkness hid the copy well, not letting him see very well.
"Looking for me?" H.E.R.O nearly jumped when he heard a glitchy voice call to him. He dodged down when the fake swiped a hit. H.E.R.O let out a squeak of fear when he looked up to see the red robot throwing down another hit. He rolled over to his left letting the red robot cause a dent to the elevator shaft. H.E.R.O scrambled onto his feet but was struck with a hard blow on his stomach. The fake one had kicked him hard enough to reach the edge. Thankfully H.E.R.O grabbed onto a bolt and was able to pull himself back up. He looked ahead to see the red robot swung another punch but H.E.R.O ducked down and swiped his leg across the red robot's leg.
With the red one down, H.E.R.O brought out another string of electricity and struck him with it. The red robot spazzed out for a while letting him have the chance to throw a punch. H.E.R.O struck the red robots head with his fist as hard as he could, but pulled back in pain. The red robots shell was hard as a rock making the punch hurt H.E.R.O instead. H.E.R.O cradled his hand for a while, shocked at how strong they made the red robots shell. The red robot got on his feet and charged right H.E.R.O with another punch coming. The little guy thought as fast as he could. Once the red robot was close enough to throw a punch, H.E.R.O dodged to the left, turned and grabbed the red robot's arm. He held a good grip on it and slammed his free hand behind the red robot's head; allowing him to push the red robot towards the edge. Because of the speed he was already going, the red robot had no time to react and was tossed over the edge with ease.
H.E.R.O looked down at the edge, making sure the red robot was gone. When he couldn't see any sign of him, H.E.R.O sighed in relief that it was finally over. He turned and headed back to the hole to be with Daisy again. Only, something cold and metallic wrapped itself around his waist. He looked down to see the red robot had broken apart and sent a string of nanites to grab him. In a split second H.E.R.O was dragged off the edge. He felt himself fall between the box and wall and hang from the very bottom. He looked up to see the red robot had broken into nanites and was crawling underneath the elevator like a spider would. One string of nanites held onto H.E.R.O as he tried desperately to fly out of the robot's grip. The nanites were hot, almost enough to burn his metal. It was like a string of fire was tightening around him. Not being able to stand any more heat, H.E.R.O held onto the string of nanites that was holding and electrocuted them. The red robot let out a glitchy scream and slammed H.E.R.O against the elevator before letting him go.
Back inside the elevator, Daisy was trying to slip her fingers between the doors. She pulled at them with every muscle in hand and arms but it didn't seem like they were budging. When they wouldn't even open a crack Daisy gave up and kicked the doors, "How am I supposed to get out of this box?"
She mumbled to herself, thinking of a way out. She glanced up to look at the door in the ceiling. Knowing this was her only way, she hopped on the railings of the elevator and opened the ceiling. She crawled out of the box and onto the top, glancing back and forth for a way out. Lucky for her, the doors to the next floor were right next to her. Unlucky for her, the doors were closed shut.
"Great." Daisy said sarcastically.
All of a sudden a flash of silver and white dashed past her head. H.E.R.O was slammed against the doors causing a crack on the side of his head. Daisy gasped and kneeled down to grab him but a string of burning hot nanites wrapped themselves around her wrist and pulled her back. The red robot raised the tempter making Daisy feel like the nanites were burning through her skin. It was like she was wearing a bracelet made of scorching hot fire.
H.E.R.O held onto the crack on his head and had a mild manic. The crack was almost over his eyes but at least he was able to see. He noticed what the res robot was doing and was quick to hop on his feet. He rammed into the red robot, head first, slamming him away from Daisy. The arm he was using to hold Daisy down became disconnected leaving him with one arm at the moment.
H.E.R.O created electricity all over his body making him a walking stun gun. So when he held the red robot down his electricity transferred to him, almost short circuiting the red robot's wires. The red robot still had one more trick. He set the arm he did have on fire and gave H.E.R.O a strong punch to the face, breaking one side of his screen. H.E.R.O gave a small noise of worry when he noticed the red robot had cracked his left eye, limiting his vision.
The red robot got back on his feet, still spazzing out from the electricity, and was about charge at H.E.R.O with another flaming hit. His running was interrupted when Daisy slammed her purse against his tiny robot body. The impact sent him flying and hitting against the wall. The red robot got back up no problem but got whacked again by the same purse.
"Stay down!" Daisy tried to keep it down. H.E.R.O looked ahead at Daisy then back at the door, trying to think of a way out.
The red robot got fed up with being pushed around so he grabbed Daisy's bag, wrapped his nanites around it and her wrist and pulled onto it. The force was enough to knock Daisy down and come face to face with the small metal man. The red robot prepared to strike her with a flaming fist, the heat was intense enough for Daisy to feel against her face. She pushed herself back as fast as she could but the robot held a good grip around her purse and wrist. He pulled back his fist and swung it towards her. Daisy was ready for the impact but instead of feeling a heated hit, she felt a few bullet sized things fly past her.
The red robot was struck left and right by tiny versions of H.E.R.O. He was at least half an inch tall and there had to be at least six of them. The small size gave him a greater speed making him as fast as a bullet meaning his hits were like bullets. And just like a bullet against a rock, H.E.R.O was able to chip off some scraps of metal from the red robot. Daisy slipped her hand away and looked behind her to see a small H.E.R.O with his cracked screen. He was having trouble getting up from how weak he felt.
"Come here." Daisy held onto him but H.E.R.O pushed away. He walked over to the doors and slipped his fingers between them, letting out a grunt of frustration. He used all his strength to create a small opening between the doors. Seeing he was having trouble, Daisy held onto the gap as well and pushed them away. Second after second, they were finally able to push the elevator doors open. H.E.R.O put the mini versions of himself back in him as Daisy scooped him up.
The second she had the chance, Daisy leaped out of the elevator and landed on her shoulder. She rolls on her back and rubs her injury. The loud sound of the elevator shaking made her sit up and look on in worry. The red robot was on the ground with cracks and dents all over it's little body. He spun his head to the two and glared with his red eye's.
Daisy gasped as she watched the fake robot get on his feet and rush his way towards them. Daisy hopped up on her feet and prepared to attack. The robot barely took a step out of the elevator until the doors slammed shut on him. His small body squished between the doors. He dangled his feet that were barely touching the ground, trying to run out of this tight spot. Before he could even think of breaking apart into nanites, Daisy slammed her purse against him, sending him back into the elevator. As the elevator let out a ding and went down, Daisy looked down at the little robot in her hands.
He was clearly in horrible shape. His screen was cracked, he looked weak and injured, "Hold on little one. I think we can fix you up as soon as this is all over." And with that, Daisy ran out of the building.
So…. Who's ready for the series finally!?
