Chapter 7 Another Plan

Everyone was still in shock, except Joy. Joy was shaking with fury. She turned to Mellow who was lifting a little. She went up to him and lifted him up by his shirt.

"What the hell did Warren mean by you were going to betray us?"

"I was kinda working for Baron. He told me to give him Warren when I could. But, last night I lost it when he tried to take him. It reminded me of when my son was killed by Ice. So, I decided to actually protect him." Joy was feeling fury and confusion at the same time.

"Wait, you actually told Warren that?"

"No, Battle did."

"And he believed him? Wow, unless you told him the rest." Mellow nodded. "Jack, you stupid idiot! Just the fact that you betrayed him would set Warren off.Baron knew that and that's why he used that."

"Don't worry Joy we'll find him," Josie said.

Warren woke up in a dark room. He tried to lift up but his hands and feet were tied to a bed. He looked around and tried to power up but couldn't. Suddenly he was reminded of the detention room. The door opened and Baron Battle entered the room.

"Warren, I'm sorry that we had to tie you up. But, you would of tried to run off and this room neutralizes all power. Don't worry, you'll be out of here in a little bit. I just wanted to talk to you without you roasting me or charging at me. So, how are you in school?" Warren kept silent. "Come on Warren, tell me a bit about yourself."

Warren thought for a moment then said, "Fine, but don't interupt." Battle nodded. "Okay, my name is Warren Peace, I'm a jounior at Sky High, my worst enemy became my best friend. I have my mother's powers and my father's looks. I look exactly like you except you have yellow streaks and I have red streaks. I'm super proud of my mother and I don't like my father too well. I have a really cool leather jacket that I like to keep on all the time."

"So, you wear my jacket?" Warren nodded. "Why do you wear it?"

"So, I know that people think twice about talking to me." He started to laugh at his father's surprised expression. "Just messing with you. I wear it because I know that you gave it to me. It was truely a wonderful gift."

"So, where is it then?"

"At home. I just got up. If you want to take me back so I can show you that I have it then come on."

"I see where this is going. Your trying to trick me. I bet you probably still have the jacket, but you didn't know it was mine. Your trying to get me to untie you, then you'll try and get out, and finally you'll torch my lair. Well, Warren you truely had me; I almost did let you go and get it. Clever, it reminds me of me. You should be proud. You told me about you and made me feel like you were opening up to me, but you just wanted to trick me," Battle said with an evil grin.

"Well, I thought it might work but since it didn't I have no more to say," Warren stated with a very firm voice. Battle chuckled.

"Fine, I'll leave you to think. Just remember that soon you'll be moved by Ice and he'll have a talk with you. Have a nice time alone," Battle said as he walked out. Warren let out a breath. He wasn't afraid of Ice, but he was a little afraid of Baron Battle.

Joy sat at the couch. She had heard everyone give their plan. She couldn't cope with what had happened. Will was giving another plan but, she was lost. Her worry for her son was too imense.

"Stop! Warren, has been taken. We need to find out where Baron's lair is. Now, come on think, where would he put it? Why would he want to take Warren? He's not evil." Joy watched as everyon looked at her in confusion. "Maybe he wanted to have someone follow in his foot steps. But," a grin spread across her face, "Ice would hate that. He would never want to give up his position."

"Unless he never does," Commander said. "What if Baron's gonna put Warren against Ice, in hope he defeats him."

"No, Baron would never do that. He wouldn't risk Warren dieing. Unless, he was going to help him. Ice is someone you don't mess with though, Baron knows that."

"How do you mean?"

"Ice has a problem. One time, before Baron went to jail, he tried to kill him. Baron tried to tell him that Warren was going to be in command when he died. Ice lost it. Warren was only six years old, and Ice kidnapped him. He took him to his secret lair and hurt Warren badly. Baron lost it when he found Ice torturing him. Warren's screams pierced Baron's ears. Baron almost killed Ice for that, but I hoped he'd go strait. For Warren's sake, but he didn't listen to me. And you caught him." Joy looked up at Commander.

"Well, let's get started," Jetstream broke in. "We have no time to loose. Now, Commander and me will take the South, Will and Mellow take North, and Joy you take the prison. You need to findout where he is." Joy nodded and they all left. Joy stayed back for a moment and the phone rang, she ran to it and picked it up.

"Hello?"

A weak voice came from the other end, "Mom?"

"Warren, is that you?"

"Well, it was," Baron Battle's voice came. "He's getting ready for his surgery."

"What surgery?"

"The one that'll change him to an evil young man. It's really a beam that will turn him."

"How do you expect to tell Ice? Or have you forgotten that he tried to kill Warren," she practically yelled.

"Don't worry, Warren'll kill him after it's done. Gotta go they're calling me to power it up. Can't wait till you see him, bye." Joy stood frozen as the line went dead. She hung up the phone then checked the phone. She saw on the CallerID that it came from a warehouse and she knew exactly which one.

Warren sat in a chair. He saw as his father hung up that he was smiling.

"Mom'll stop you."

"You really believe that? You will not even reconize her. Your memory is going to get wiped. You'll only remember your name. I can tell you all you need to know after it. For now, let's get started." Baron started to let electricity run through him. He threw tons of electricity at the machine when suddenly...

Sorry guys, had to leave it right there. It took a little longer than I expected. Next chapter should come real soon, at least I hope. I won't leave ya'all in suspense for too long.
