Okay! As promised! Here it is!
And sis...want me to draw a target on my butt so you can aim better? ;)
Me? Sugar? Noooo, never!
ONWARDS WITH THE TORTURE!
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--xx-x-x-x-
We screamed, fell, screamed some more...fell some more...
And did I mention the screaming?
Cause...along with the falling...there was a hell of a lot of that going on too.
I never wanted to have wings more in my life.
CREEEEEEEEEEE-CRCRASSH!
I was suddenly hitting the floor very very hard, pain shooting through my body and my heart leaping out of my chest.
(ARE WE DEAD YET!) I screamed.
(NO!) Pilot screamed back.
I opened my eyes...all four of them... looking around and seeing all... well, us three guys, were alive. So I was guessing/hoping the others were too.
(Uh, guys?)
Jake called everyone, and I was amazed we were all alive.
(Pansy) Pilot muttered, and I glared at him.
(Oh, and you weren't screaming for your life?)
(SHUT UP!) Jake roared, his golden eyes glowing viciously.
We all fell silent, and then Cassie said something I don't think we realised until then.
(How did we manage to survive a thirty story drop?)
(Unless... ) Marco trailed off.
(Unless we haven't reached the bottom yet!) Tobias cried, and I let out what could have been a wheezing sound.
(You mean we're standing here, hanging who knows how far up from our death?) I asked, sharing a look with Pilot, before looking away from him.
I was not a pansy! I just... valued my life!
(It seems very likely) Ax said.
(And where are all of you guys?) I asked.
(In Jake's ears) Cassie replied, and I rolled my eyes. Or...at least I think I did. Hard to tell being an Andalite and all.
(How long do you guys have in morph?) Jake asked.
(We have approximately one hour left in morph)
(Ax, you are so annoying sometimes) I muttered, looking around the elevator, seeing what looked like a camera.
(So now what do we do? Sit here and wait for this thing to fall the rest of the way down?) Rachel asked, probably annoyed that she never got a chance to kick butt.
(How about we find a way out of here) Pilot suggested, and I saw him demorphing.
(WHAT ARE YOU DOING! YOURE GONNA-)
(Look, if that really is a camera, it won't make any difference if theyre watching me or not. They know who and what I am, so it doesn't matter anymore) He said almost bitterly, and I watched as he became more human.
(Well, when you put it that way...) I trailed off, my four eyes searching every nook and cranny of this elevator for a way out.
(Isn't there usually one of those hatch thingys up the top?) I wondered, focusing on looking upwards.
Jake looked up as well (Well, looks like theres something up there. In the corner)
I looked again. (Oh, yeah)
"One of you give me a boost and I'll see what it is"
I looked at the guy,trying to glare at him. He just rolled his eyes at me, then looked over at Jake.
(All right, just dont... break my back or anything)
"Pfft! I aint heavy"
(Well tiger backs aren't for standing on)
He shrugged, then let Jake move into a good position, then carefuly got onto his back, standing then reaching up for whatever it was in the corner. I moved forward, or as much asI could, towards them.
(Careful, it might be-)
AWOOO! AWOO!
A horrible red flashing light and a siren sounded as he pushed upwards.
SCAREEEEEE!
(WHAT THE HELL DID YOU-)
The floor beneath us suddenly dropped away, and we were all falling again, this time down the elevator shaft.
(AAAAAH!) We all screamed.
Suddenly, I stopped falling, grabbing as tightly as I could with weak andalite arms to whatever I'd grabbed onto.
It just happened to be Pilot's waist.
"I don't swing that way!"
(And I don't think I can hold on!) Jake cried from above us, and I realised what had happened.
Jake had grabbed onto the sides of the elevator, digging his claws in, and Pilot had grabbed onto him, and I somehow had managed to grab onto Pilot.
(WERE GONNA DIIIIIIE!) I wailed!
"I don't know what your problem is! You're a bat! You're not supposed to be scared of heights!"
(I'm not! I just happen to not like falling very very fast down an elevator shaft to my death is all!)
Then what he said hit me.
It also meant I had to let go.
(Dax just let go! You can demorph in time!) Jake groaned, and I know he was straining from the weight.
"Yeah! And if you don't let go we all die!" Pilot snapped.
(Alll right! I'll do it! BUT IF I DIE IM COMING BACK TO HAUNT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!)
(Just do it!) Jake yelled.
(FINE!) I let go, half wanting to scream and freak out, the other half of me somehow managing to focus long enough to start demorphing.
Every second I was just waiting to feel myself hit and then...nothing. But somehow, I managed to keep demorphing through my painic, obviously screaming the whole way.
And of course using some words that my mother would not be proud of.
The second I got wings I opened them, flapping with all my might and feeling the strain, then fighting to get upright.
The second I did I found out how close I'd come to being splattered bat.
One floor.
ONE FREAKIN FLOOR!
(OH THATS IT! IF YOURE NOT ALREADY DEAD PILOT IM GONNA KILL YOU!) I screeched, flapping back upwards with all my might.
When I did I sawanother winged creature. I echolocated, seeing-
Well, Jake was human, and barely hanging on it seemed.
(Come on Jake, morph again!I know you can do it!) I heard Cassie encourage him.
(Yeah, what she said) I heard Pilot say, and realised he was the...well, the bird I saw.
(Yeah, come on buddy) Marco encouraged. I didn't see any changes in him even as I got up close to him, flapping around the inside of the lift above him. He looked like he was about to fall asleep...
(JAKE MORPH NOW!) I yelled. He jerked, and I saw the changes begin.
Feathers exploded across his skin and his face stretched out, hardening into a beak. When he lost his fingers he started to fall, and I knew he was probably feeling just how I'd felt, only he was a little less vocal about it.
Seconds later he was up by us, fine it semed.
(All right, we all here?)
When we all responded, he said (Okay, I guess we find a way out of here)
(I think I saw something open when I was screaming my lungs out on the plumm-
Crr!
All three of us looked up as the remnants of the elevator moved. All of us continued to watch as it moved, then moved again, then inched downwards-
(MOVE!) Jake yelled, which got us moving again.
(FOLLOW ME!) I yelled, flapping downwards, almost having a heart attack when I heard the elevator finally give way.
(HOW FAR!)
(I DONT KNOW! JUST TURN WHEN I TELL YOU TO!) I yelled, hearingmy echolocation to guide me.
Closer...closer...
There!
(TURN NOW!) I screamed, darting into the entrance, hoping the two followed me as the elevator screamed past, turning and finding a beam to land on, my little bat heart racing. Thankfully, they had.
(Whoo! That was close!)
(Sure was, not let's never think, speak, or do that again) Jake muttered as he and Pilot landed on the ground.
(I'm with you) I muttered, and Pilot laughed.
(Lets do that again and again and again!)
(I wonder where we are) I ignored Pilots obvious sarcasm, more interested in where we were.
(Think you can go see for us?) Jake asked.
(Sure thing) I said, looking out to the dim light around the corner. I flapped my little wings, darting around the corner and out, yelping as I nearlyhit a large cement pole. I fell, skidding understomething, then realised what it was.
(Guys! We've found a carpark!)
(A what?) Pilot asked.
(You know, that thing that the things with four wheels go to sleep)
(Butthead)
(No, bathead!)
(You two!)
(God, and we thought one of them was bad enough) Cassie groaned.
(Hey! How many times have I saved your butt!) Pilot yelled, and I just sighed, looking out into the carpark, seeing a car pull out, then drive away.
At that time I got a brilliant idea.
(Hey, we could drive out of here!)
(And get noticed? I don't think-)
(Look, we're dead meat anyway. It's not gonna hurt us to drive out of here, and maybe pass off as looking like normal working people)
(Well, whatever gets us out of here, I don't care) Jake sighed, and I could tell he was feeling tired again.
(All right! It's decided) I flapped back into the safety of the elevator hallway, echolocating around to make sure there were no cameras around, and when I saw there weren't, landed awkwardly beside Jake and Pilot.
(All right, lets demorph and morph)
Soon the three of us were human, and I peeked out into the carpark, looking left then right, not seeing anyone.
"All right, I think we're all good" I stepped out, then went over to the first car I saw, testing it to see if it was locked. Jake and Pilot followed, kind of keeping low, which reminded me that I should too. We checked doors of cars, all of us growing more dissapointed as we darted through the carpark.
"Shit!" I heard Pilot hiss, then an alarm sounded.
"Dammit Pilot!" Jake snapped, darting over to Pilot, and I saw them whispering things as the car alarm sounded nice and loud.
At that time, I saw a cool car, darting over to it. A porche...
And, whaddya know? It was unlocked.
"Hey! Old married couple! Stop bickering! I found-" I looked up to see some woman clobber Jake over the head with something, and he fell hard. Pilot turned around, then screamed something I couldn't understand, dodging out of the way of the womans...what looked like purse.
I darted over as Pilot kept her... uh, occupied, picking Jake up under the arms and dragging him away, Pilot soon helping me by picking up his legs and we both went as fast as we could away from the woman and over to the nice pretty porche I'd picked out, struggling to put him in the backseat.
"Hey! Get back here you kids!" She screamed, looking like she was about forty or so, but with a hell of a fight still in her.
"Get in!"
"All right!" He dove into the passengers, while I got in the drivers, both of us slamming the doors. I frantically searched for a spare key, then realised...
The keys we're in the ignition.
"What kind of idiot-"
"I DONT CARE, JUST DRIVE!" Pilot screeched.
"ALL RIGHT! Pushy pushy" I muttered, seeing the woman at his window, turning the key and hearing the engine roar to life.
"Oh yeah baby!"I laughed, hearing Pilot yelp as the woman beating the window, putting my hand on the lever and putting it reverse. I slammed my foot on the gas, hearing and feeling the car screeching backwards, and I turned the wheel to get out of the parking spot.
And suddenly... I found myself doing a royal burnout.
"AAAH!" We both screamed as I remembered to take my foot off the pedal.
We suddenly came to a stop, and Pilot turned to glare at me.
"What? At least I got us away from the mad woman"
He rolled his eyes, and I spun the wheel, putting us in drive and putting my foot on the gas.
And suddenly we were screeching backwards.
"WHERE DID YOU LEARN HOW TO DRIVE!" He snapped.
"BATS CANT DRIVE!" I screamed in response as I slammed my foot on the brake, spinning the wheel and turning us around. He yelped, hitting the window.
"Hey!"
"No time! Look behind us!"
He did.
"Oh...shiiiiit!"
"No shit! Now lets go! GIDDYUP!" I slammed it in drive, making sure it was there, and then hitting the gas pedal with all I had. We shot forward, tires screeching in protest and the car itself swerving left and right before exploding towards the wall.
"TURN YOU IDIOT!"
"WELL DUH!" I slowed, spun the wheel, then hit the ramp down with a horrific thud.
"Ooops! I feel sorry for the owner of this baby!" I laughed as we bounced down it, hitting the side a couple of times as we turned down, a horrible screeching coming from the side of this baby.
Down and down...
"Hey, hows Jake?"
Pilot turned to look back at Jake.
"Still unconcious"
"What about everyone else?"
(We're all here and wondering what the hell is going on!) Marco snapped.
"Bat boy is takin us for a ride"
(Oh no) Was Tobias's response.
"Oh yeah! Haha! Here we go!" We suddenly popped out into the ground level, shooting forward and seeing Pilot hold onto the dashboard and door as I did, laughing and slamming my foot all the way down onto the gas, seeing the exit and going for it.
"WHOOOHOOO!"
"JESUS CHRIST WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Pilot screamed as I slammed through the gates, out onto the street and spinning the wheel, swinging madly onto the street and shooting off.
"Aw youre just sayin that to be niiice!" I chuckled, spinning wierdly into the next street and shooting down it.
"Please let me get out of this car alive so I can kill him, please" Pilot begged, and I snorted.
Some people were just... too uptight.
