Chapter 48: The Prom
That next day, after spending the majority of the afternoon preparing for the first part of his "master plan" and making sure he had everything that he needed, Aiden put the finishing touches on the special device that Foxtail requested. After finishing the form changing device, Aiden grabbed his things and headed out the door and to the shuttles. "Ah Aiden, there you are" he heard Foxtail say as she approached him. "Do you have the device I asked for?" she asked. Aiden nodded and he handed her the device. He then explained how to operate it. "Excellent work" she praised. Aiden smiled and Foxtail pat his head. "How is the other machine coming along?" she asked. "It's almost complete. The spell is ready and I just need to do a few things before I can finish the machine" Aiden explained. "And what is it that you are doing now?" Foxtail asked impatiently. "I'm going to do what I need to do before I complete the machine" Aiden explained, clearly not caring about Foxtail's impatience. Foxtail pinched the bridge of her nose and she let out a heavy sigh. "Very well. Carry on with whatever. Just don't take to long or I'll drag you back here myself and chain you to the machine until you finish it. You got it?" Foxtail threatened. Aiden smirked and saluted to her. "Ma'am yes ma'am" he said cockily with a wink. Foxtail let out a low growl as Aiden left towards the shuttle hanger.
Foxtail then pressed a button on her wrist and a few minutes later, Shadowy Figure appeared from a nearby hall. She noted that he appeared to be confused by the way he was looking around. "The effects must have work off" she mumbled as he approached her. "Foxtail, what's going on?" he asked. "I need to call Bianca. I need to tell her that I love her and that I'm okay" he then said when Foxtail didn't respond. "That won't be happening anytime soon" she said as she powered up the form changing device that Aiden finished. "What do you mean?" he asked. Foxtail then typed something into the device and presses a few buttons. She then aimed the device at Shadowy Figure and with one final push of a button, Shadowy Figure's form got slimmer, his jaw got sharp like Professor Venomous', and his teeth got sharper. "What did you do?" Shadowy Figure asked. Foxtail smirked when she noticed that his voice got deeper. "I can't have anyone figuring out who you really are now can I?" she asked rhetorically. She then pressed hard on the right side of Shadowy Figure's neck and he was instantly knocked out. "Good thing I had the boys down at the lab insert that into him" she mused to herself. She then scooped Shadowy Figure up in her arms and threw him over her shoulder. "Good thing you're lighter now! All I have to do now is to bring him to the lab for reconditioning and then the next part of my plan can finally begin" she said. She then proceeded to walk to the main lab.
After looking through the various shuttles, he decided on one and powered it up once he got in. He then pulled up a map of Lakewood on the screen and he decided on landing in the woods near the school. Once he confirmed the location, the shuttle took off and Aiden began to daydream about after his plan was complete. After a few minutes of him talking to himself in the shuttle, he finally arrived in the woods near the school. After making sure that the shuttle was well hidden, Aiden proceeded to walk towards the school. After sneaking into one of the classrooms, he set up his equipment and changed into his suit. He then waited for everyone to arrive. After staring out the window that overlooked the courtyard where the dance was being held, some people finally started to arrive. He smirked when he noticed Rad walking into the school's courtyard.
"Look at these people, amazing how sheep will
Show up for the slaughter
No one condemning you, lined up like lemmings
You led to the water
Why can't they see what I see? Why can't they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee's too pricey for them to realize
Your disguise is slipping
I think you're slipping" he sang as he eyed Rad talking to someone with Nebula behind him and prepared for his attack. He then pressed a button and Rad was frozen in place. He then opened one of the windows and jumped down. The crowd gasped when they saw him. "Aiden"Azra said sadly as she looked at him in disappointment. Aiden looked at her and he shook his head. He then glanced at the frightened crowd
"Now that your savior is still as the grave you're
Beginning to fear me
"Like cavemen fear thunder, I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?
I bring you pain, the kind you can't suffer quietly
Fire up your brain, remind you inside you're rioting
Society is slipping
Everything's slipping away" he sang. He then took out a ray gun and fired it in the air. Nebula and the crowd then began to scramble to leave.
"So…
Go ahead, run away
Say it was horrible
Spread the word, tell a friend
Tell them the tale
Get a pic, do a blog
Heroes are over with" he sang. He then glanced over at Rad
"Look at him, not a word
Hammer, meet nail" he sang as he punched the frozen Rad.
"Then I win, then I get
Everything I ever
All the cash, all the fame
And social change
Anarchy! That I run
It's finally my turn
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn
Burn" he sang as he fired the ray gun and freezing all people that he could.
"Let's see, 1,2,3,4 yeah right" he mumbled to himself as he started to count the people he froze.
"Burn" he sang as he fired another blast. He then scanned the crowd and he noticed that Nebula was gone.
"No sign of Nebbie, good.
I would give anything not to have her see" he sang as he wandered the small crowd of frozen people. Suddenly, Principal Claus appeared.
"It's gonna be bloody, heads up everybody
There's no time for mercy
Here goes no mercy" he sang as he fired the ray gun at the principal.
He then laughed evilly as he pressed a hidden button on the ray gun. Cages then appeared from out of the sky and scooped up all the frozen and all the non frozen people that they could. Aiden smirked as he watched the cages' propellers transport his victims away.
