I'm gonna TRY to update this more often. This ones' a bit shorter than the other chapters, and for that, I apologise.
Chapter fourteen
Kipo's thoughts felt like mud. And she had a headache. And she couldn't move her arms.
Great. She was sick. Now she was going to have to miss school.
She opened her eyes. Why wasn't she in bed? She seemed to be in-
Ohhhhhh.
Now she remembered.
She was tied to the pole with The others. Emelia was standing in front of her, looking as smug as anything.
"Thirteen years trying to track you down." She gloated "And here we are."
"You won't get away with this." Kipo told her.
Emelia laughed "I think I already have." She gestured to the floor. A folding portable table had been brought out, with a group of flasks on it filled with bubbling liquids, with tubes all leading to four large bathtubs with bubbling pink liquid in it.
"All that from one hair." She smirked.
Kipo growled.
"Let's take some more." Emelia took out a pair of scissors, and snipped off Kipo's Ponytail.
"No!" Yelled Kipo, as her hairband slipped off and fell onto the floor.
Emelia smiled sadistically.
The others glared at Emelia.
"When I'm through with you, you'll be just like Henry VIII's wives!" Yelled Kipo, furiously.
Emelia raised an eyebrow "You seem to be better at History than your parents. I would love to see their faces when you are cured."
As Kipo growled, Clint frowned. Didn't Kipo say she was bad at History? Then why did she mention something so-
It came to him. Greenwich palace.
Nat, you sneaky fox. He thought, grinning. He reached inside his trouser leg to reveal a secret pocket.
He tried talking "So Zola, how'd you get here?"
Zola only gave a smile "That I shall not say." With that, he walked into a tunnel connecting the facility to somewhere else.
Emelia took out a clear dart with pink liquid in it, and loaded her crossbow with it.
"No." Whispered Kipo, going pale.
"So long, Jaguar Kipo." Remarked Emelia.
It was at that moment a knife went through the ropes holding the explosive nectar canister above them.
A lot of things happened at once.
The canister fell, and hit Dave on the head, before fall over. Wolf, who was next to Dave, caught it with her foot, and kicked it to the floor, where it exploded.
'BOOOOOOOOMMM!'
Greta stumbled, and fell onto the floor.
"Don't just lay there, you idiot! Shoot them!" Yelled Emelia.
"Oh! Right!" Greta explained, taking aim.
As she pulled the trigger, a certain Cat mute tackled her "Yumyan Owns you all!"
The arrow thudded above Dave's head, causing no harm except to the blood pressure of the people tied to the pole. They all let out a "Phew" of relief.
As Yumyan and Greta circled the pole on the other container before attacking each other, Lio climbed up and untied The prisoners.
As Yumyan launched himself at Greta, the escapees raced down to the ground. Emelia drew her crossbow, Only for Natasha to jump down, and pull a gun out on her.
"Ah-ah-ah." She told the scientist, as the other Avengers entered "You don't want a bullet in your head, do you?"
Seeing that her boss was at gunpoint, Greta raised her hands in surrender.
Emelia only smirked.
"What's so funny?" Asked Wolf, as Thor handed out the escapee's weapons.
Suddenly, sounds of heavy footsteps were heard.
Everyone turned to see Zola coming out of the tunnel, carrying a wooden crate.
"It can't be..." Muttered Widow.
"Oh, but it is, Natasha Romanoff." Zola replied, placing the crate down. He opened it, and stepped back as it fell apart.
Inside it was another robot.
It looked around six foot tall, and was rather thin. It's hands were blades and it had a camera for a head, just like Zola.
"Introducing the Prototype Clingenroboter." Zola announced Smugly.
Using this distraction, Emelia ran over to Zola, and smirked as she aimed the crossbow, which was still loaded with a cure dart, at Kipo.
As she fired, only one thing stopped it.
Yumyan Hammerpaw.
The Timbercat threw himself in the way of the dart, getting hit in the chest.
"NO!" Yelled Kipo, her eyes brimming with tears and rushing to the Timbercat.
Enraged, Asher charged at Emelia, but The Robot stood up.
Asher managed to control their anger, and halt.
Emelia, Greta, and Zola walked towards the Cure and the DNA as the fight began.
Asher swung at it with their Axes, only for them to be blocked by the robot's blades.
Asher tried again, and the robot parried the attack and began it's own.
It began with wild yet calculated slashes that Asher was barely able to dodge.
Cap made to intervene, but Thor stopped him.
"This is their Fight." He insisted.
As the fight continued, it seemed that Asher was going to lose. They was skilled for their Age, but the Robot was programmed to fight. Zola had probably uploaded great skill of fighting techniques into it's mainframe, and that wasn't good for Asher.
Asher Swung. They dodged. They hacked. They blocked.
Finally, as a last resort plan, they ran away a few steps and threw an axe at the robot.
This throw struck gold. It spun towards it, and embedded itself in the Camera head, destroying the visual circuits.
Asher then walked up to the staggering robot, before embedding their other axe in the Robot's chest. It sparked, and collapsed.
"That's... my student..." Grunted Yumyan, as Asher and the others ran up to him.
Suddenly, The Tunnel blew up, and large pieces of rubble fell on it, blocking any means of getting through.
Everyone only looked at it for a second, though. Their thoughts were solely on Yumyan.
"I- I-" Stammered Kipo.
"It's Okay." Yumyan consoled her "I knew what I signed on to. Kipo, when you do it" He placed a paw on her tear-ridden cheek "When you bring everyone to HMUFA, tell them the stories of Yumyan Hammerpaw. The good and the bad."
Everyone was crying. Even The Avengers had tears in their eyes, despite not knowing him that long.
"And never forget." He continued "Yumyan Owns you-" He let out a choking noise. Quick as a flash, he shrank until you could only see his clothes.
As everyone peered in, a small, grey cat poked his head out of the bundle of clothes.
Yumyan let out a small Meow.
Yumyan Hammerpaw was, essentially, dead.
Kipo and Asher knelt in front of the cat.
"He- he- he taught me how to ride Pierre." Sobbed Asher "How to hunt. H-how to use an a-axe..."
Kipo and Asher looked at each other. They hugged one another, and both of them began to sob.
...
I hope I didn't break your hearts with Asher's last line in the Chapter there.
Favourite, Review, and stay safe!
