a.n. Well sorry for the people who were expecting this eariler, but my maths teachers interfered! She gave me loads of homework, you're lucky I'm here now! Anyway when in the chapter it sayd Wayne it is simply referring to The General, read and enjoy!-badwolf1.

Chapter 21- Last Stand- Part One.

Jimmy fired at The General, but the android darted out of the way. The machine quickly responded by firing at the genius, but Jimmy brought up his shields and the shots simply bounced away. Nick attacked the robot with his sword, and surprisingly forced back the machine.

"You're powerful boy."

"You haven't seen anything yet monster." Nick suddenly attacked again, but The General quickly countered the assault, and spun his sword around; before attempting to stab Nick.

Cindy watched Nick and The General duel, and she decided to join in on the fight. She began to summon up her generator power, and then she unleashed it all in one blast. The General was sent flying backwards, but he quickly recovered.

Jimmy, Cindy and Nick grouped together and prepared for the next attack.

"You okay Cindy?" Jimmy asked his girlfriend.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Jimmy nodded, and activated the hidden power of his generators. Jimmy suddenly flew upward into the air, and fired on The General!

"How are you doing that?" Wayne shouted, as he fired at the genius.

"I built these generators for Sheen, and I made them so he could fly; just like Ultralord!" Jimmy replied, as he dodged the bullets heading straight for him.

"Clever." The General snarled as he swivelled around to block an attack from Nick. The pair held their laser swords together in some sort of stalemate, until Wayne brought his sword up; and quickly brought it crashing down again. Nick rolled backwards to avoid being sliced in half, and then countered by bringing his sword around and attempting to cut off The General's arm. The General blocked it, and they faced each other waiting for the other to make the next move.

Meanwhile Libby and Carl were defending the city against Eustace's army. Carl blasted two robots apart, and quickly ran before another one shot him. Libby did a forward roll straight through one machine's legs, and then destroyed him from behind. Despite being outnumbered the two friends had an advantage, their generators made them practically unstoppable. Libby wiped out the last machine and smiled.

"How you doing?" Libby said to Carl, as the friends stood next to each other.

"Not bad, just worrying about Jimmy and Cindy." The teenager answered honestly. Eustace laughed and summoned more machines. This time there were hundreds of the killer robots.

"I think you should be worrying about us Carl." Libby told him as she backed away slowly.

"Kill them." Eustace commanded, and the robots charged…

The General avoided another blast from Cindy, as he ran across the street at a super fast speed. He ran in front of buildings, and quickly returned fire. Cindy brought up her shield, and the bullets simply hit the floor. The General stopped, and leapt up onto a roof. He ran across the rooftop, and jumped off it. Jimmy watched astonished as his enemy landed on a motorbike, started it and sped off into the streets.

"He's running away." Nick said angrily.

"Not this time." Cindy said, and she ran towards three mountain bikes. She blew up the locks, and pointed towards them.

"Lets go." Jimmy uttered, and he descended onto his bike. It was bright red, a good frame, top of the range wheels, and a good braking system. Jimmy began to pedal, the chase was on.

The General accelerated; he needed a crowded area. He looked behind him, and saw Jimmy, Cindy and Nick gaining. The General snarled, and shifted into fourth gear. They were not going to catch him.

Jimmy saw The General pull ahead, and shook his head. The machine was going to fast; there was no way to catch him on the bike. They needed something faster, something like a motorbike. It was then Jimmy realised! He had just the thing in the lab, all he had to do was call Goddard.

"Goddard, bring the teleport the minicycles here immediately." The dog barked in response, and a blue light appeared. The next second three mini motorbikes were in the group's path.

"Pick a bike." Jimmy told the others, as he headed towards his own personal bike. It was red like the mountain bike, but this had lasers on the front. An engine capable of one hundred and eight miles an hour; and it of course had the neutron symbol on the seat. The engines themselves absorbed air pollutants, and converted them into fuel. Jimmy was quite proud of his bikes, but he had sworn only to use them in an emergency. This situation seemed to qualify as an emergency.

Cindy chose a blue bike; it had the same modifications as Jimmy's bike, except it had automatic machine guns on the front instead of lasers. Nick chose a green bike; it was built in the exact same way as Jimmy's, so there was no difference. The three mounted their new bikes, and hit the accelerator. It was time to catch The General.

Carl and Libby continued to fight the army of machines, but they were both tiring. No matter how many robots they destroyed, there were always more ready to step in.

"I can't keep going." Libby said, as she wiped out another group of androids.

"Just carry on Libs, we can do it!" Carl shouted back, but at that moment, one machine shot Carl in the chest. The boy sunk to his knees in pain, and the robot prepared to finish him off.

"Carl!" Libby screamed, and she ran towards the robots knocking them all out of the way for her friend. She made it just in time, and she destroyed the machine.

"Are you all right Carl?" She asked sympathetically, and the boy nodded,

"I'll live for now, now run before they catch us." Libby shook her head.

"I'm not leaving you, while you can still walk." At that moment hundreds of machines surrounded the two friends, and held their guns up at them.

"Can I leave now?" Libby asked nervously, as she prepared for the worst.

Jimmy and the others had once again caught up to The General, and they were ready to fight. Jimmy got on one side of The General, and Cindy got on the other. They both rammed into him, and The General snarled again. The metal monster reversed, but Nick was directly behind him. The teenager fired his lasers, and Wayne only just managed to swerve in time. The General grinned, and headed towards a shop door. He shot it down, and drove straight threw the shop. Jimmy and the others followed, so The General decided to block them off. He pointed his gun up towards the ceiling, and fired a few rounds. The roof began to collapse, and The General laughed as he escaped to freedom.

Jimmy saw the roof falling down, and hit the accelerator just in time. He sped straight past the debris, just before the entire place fell down. Jimmy winced as he heard the customers screaming, then a deadly silence. They had been crushed. Jimmy put his foot down, and so did Cindy and Nick. They had to stop The General.

Libby shut her eyes, and waited for the sweet sanctuary of death. Suddenly there a large noise, and she opened her eyes again. The army had arrived! Within minutes the machines were decimated, and Libby and Carl were safe.

"You're safe now." The captain told them, and a low horrible chuckle came from behind them.

"They may be safe, but the real question is: are you?" Eustace moved like lightning, and the next second he struck the captain in the neck with his metal hand. The head rolled away on the floor, and Libby screamed. Eustace stood there, his right hand covered in blood, as the army opened fire on world enemy number one.

The General could not believe it; Neutron was still following him! The teenage genius was neck a neck with him now, so The General decided to take one last cause of action. He headed for a ramp, and flew up into the air.

"Follow me now!" The General challenged Jimmy, and the genius smiled.

"Fine then." Jimmy also headed off the ramp, and went full speed. He flew upwards, and smashed into The General's bike. The two riders went crashing down, and they hit the floor with a sickening thud. The General staggered up from the wreckage of his bike, and stared. Neutron's minicycle had been completely destroyed, and Neutron buried underneath it. The General laughed; the idiot had died trying to imitate his own stunt on the ramp.

"So long Neutron." The machine said, as he walked away.

"Don't think you can beat me that easy!" Jimmy shouted, and a black light appeared from underneath the bike. Jimmy rose up, with a shield around him.

"You survived." The General said blankly.

"Yeah, now lets end this." Jimmy said, as Nick and Cindy, who had taken the long way round, pulled up beside him.

"Fine we'll end it." The General suddenly appeared beside Jimmy, and grabbed him by the throat. Jimmy began to choke, and he turned red in the face.

"Air…" He gasped, as The General tightened his grip.

"You wanted this over Neutron, well now I'm ending it!"

The army fired every gun they had at Eustace all at once, and the billionaire's hands moved with an astonishing speed. He opened the palm of his hand, and the bullets dropped to the floor. Eustace then ran up to one soldier, kicked his head off; and then he picked up the dead man's gun. Eustace laughed as he slaughtered the army, and then he turned his attention to Libby and Carl.

"You've made your last stand, and now you're finished."
