A/N: Been a while since I've updated, or at least it feels like it. Don't ask me why, but it just does. But at least I'm here to start updating again. Enjoy.
"You're not worried at all about this stupid pod thing?" I asked as I relaxed in the middle of the couch between Johnny and Dukey.
"Nope. Unless it really affects us, I really don't care," Johnny said before focusing on the TV once again. Maybe he had a point. I've done a lot of stuff that I wasn't even responsible for the last few days. Let the military actually handle it for once.
"I wonder if they know if it's made of altered titanium. Weapons will prove ineffective on a shell like that unless they use high powered lasers. Even then, they'll be cutting for a while, during which, the defenses on it are enough to drive it away," I said, breaking down the analysis of the hull just for the hell of it.
The pod had done a lot of stuff. Ripped fine dining out of restaurants and even a chef at one point. That easily led me to believe that this wasn't the work of aliens, but rather the work of someone who wanted these things. But why would they bother stealing it? Making a pod like this wasn't cheap, and with that money, they could've just bought the stuff they stole. Would've made their situation a lot easier.
"Hey, isn't that our house on TV?" Susan said when she and Mary walked in the house. Next thing I knew, the roof was being ripped off it and Mary was sucked up a tube that the pod had sent down.
"Mary!" I exclaimed.
"They took Mary!" Susan exclaimed.
Then, as if the pod was dissatisfied with its kidnapping target, it spit Mary back out of the tube and instead sucked up Susan. I rolled my eyes. I'll give you two guesses as to who runs that pod...
"They took Susan! And although I'm relieved, we have to do something!" Mary exclaimed.
"Aw, do we have to?" Johnny and Dukey complained. I really couldn't blame them. Susan wasn't exactly the kindest person on earth.
"Susan has been abducted by aliens!" Mary exclaimed.
"Not aliens. Bling-Bling," I said simply. Everyone looked at me.
"Say wha?" Mary questioned.
"Think about it. A pod that steals gourmet dining facilities, a chef, other material things, and it spits you out and grabs Susan? Yeah, I smell a fat kid who wears too much jewelry. I can tell he's the one running that pod," I said.
"That's even worse! Ugh, Eugene..." Mary said, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"I know, I know. He's been giving us a migraine for the longest, and he's starting the same old stuff again. How about we try and find a way to stop him?" I said, before thinking about something. "Did we ever finish that project I had us start for situations like this?"
"Well, it's ready for testing, but..."
"Let's put it on as well as Johnny X and Super Pooch. I could use the extra help," I said.
"Johnny X and Super Pooch? No way! Besides, the government dudes said they were going to deal with the pod," Dukey said, doing his best to argue against having to doing something that likely was going to involve major physical harm. That's just how he was.
"It's unlikely they'll figure out what the shell is made of, so it's more than likely they'll fail. I know you don't want to go cause you're part chicken to go along with your dog genes, so we got this. Let's get to the lab," I said idly, walking away with Johnny quickly in pursuit.
"Chicken? I am not chicken!" I could hear Dukey say. I smiled. I knew I had him once he said that. The pitter patter of his feet confirmed that suspicion.
He caught up to us once we walked into the lab and I turned to Mary.
"Start with them. They can get a start on the pod. Cause I still have no idea if this experiment will work," I said.
"It'll work. It better. You, me, and Susan spent a lot of time on the research," Mary said before pulling the switch and blasting Johnny and Dukey with a mutant ray before they were instantly in their costumes, Johnny with his fists on his hips, Dukey on all fours with a distasteful expression on his face.
"I hate this costume!" Dukey exclaimed. Johnny disregarded Dukey's statement and hopped on his back.
"Come on boy. You can do it. Fly!" Johnny said, gesturing to the air. Dukey rolled his eyes and groaned before taking flight. Then I took position in the middle of the circle with my arms crossed.
"You do realize I am only doing this because I hate Bling Bling," I told Mary.
"Yeah, I kind of figured that. But your reasons don't matter. I just want her safe and away from Eugene," she said. "Force experiment one is go!" She pulled the switch, and I felt a bio-molecular beam engulf my entire being, reshaping and adjusting the cells in my body. Cell experimentation could be dangerous, but it could also be insanely awesome if done right. Hopefully it was the latter.
Then the beam stopped and my entire body felt extremely weird. Like the body I had wasn't my own, but someone else's.
"Feel any different?" Mary asked.
"Sort of. I feel like I'm in someone else's body. It's weird," I said.
"Then it's likely it worked. Try it," Mary said, pointing to a useless pile of junk that they had over in the corner as practice if this experiment did succeed.
I gestured my hand toward the junk with focus in my eyes and I could see that it slowly lifted off the ground and I found that I was able to move it around. I smiled.
"We're such geniuses," me and Mary said at the same time that we saw it rise.
"Welp, we've successful created the Force. (It's a cartoon, so therefore, science can do whatever the fuck you want it to) This pleases me," I said with a wide smile.
"Of course it does. You're the one who suggested we do this in the first place, so I don't see why you wouldn't be pleased," Mary said.
"Good point. But I really should start working out the ability more," I said.
"This probably wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have us put limits on it," Mary said with a pointed look.
"Well, I wanted it to be truly like the Force. And it has limits. Limits that I have no problem working through. Eventually, it'll be all worked out. Trust me. Soon I'll start grabbing entire choppers," I said with a smile.
For the next few minutes while Johnny was away, we worked on conducting tests with my power. I was slowly starting to grow accustomed to having it. The speed and ease of my grasp was growing the more I flexed it. It even worked on Mary when I jokingly used on her.
"Come on. I just spun you in the air a little," I said when she turned away from me in an upset manner.
"That was not cool," Mary said.
"Yeah, but when have nerds ever been 'cool?' At least by society's standards," I said with a grin. I could tell I had gotten her to smile before she even turned around. But then I saw that Johnny and Dukey were flying in the air and they had landed hard in the lab. I groaned.
"Looks like Johnny X and Super Pooch wasn't enough," I said.
"Well, how about we try something new? We should practice the augmentation aspect of your powers. That way you can run, jump better as well as make yourself stronger," Mary said.
"Don't really have time. We have to get her out now. Trust me, an extended period of time with Bling Bling for anyone is torture of the highest degree. I don't like Susan, but she doesn't deserve that level of punishment," I said.
"No one does really. Alright, we'll get you set up to go along with Johnny for the journey," Mary said as we walked back into the house. But a tank stopped right outside our house and out hopped Mr. Black and Mr. White. (I know they burst through the lab in the show, but how does a tank drive through the wall of a lab that's upstairs? Am I not the only one who has noticed that?)
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"We need your help in stopping the alien pod," Mr. White said. Ironic that the black guy's last name was White and the white guy's was Black.
"It's not aliens. It's just Bling Bling. What alien pod do you know kidnaps chefs and romantic dining supplies?" I questioned.
"Good point. So it's Bling Bling, not aliens?" Mr. White asked. I nodded.
"That's even worse than aliens!" Mr. Black exclaimed.
"Yeah, we've said that. Let's get to the lab," I said, walking in the house. The four of us made it to the top of the lab at top speed and ran into Johnny on the way.
"I thought you were supposed to be working on some kind of power that could help us destroy that thing!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah, well that proved to take a lot longer than expected," I said.
"And we don't have the plutonium to amp up the speed of the development of the powers cause we spent it all on our last Gil experiment," Mary said, making me look at the girl strangely.
"You spent a multi million dollar substance on impressing your crush? I could've done that with some flowers and a dinner date," I said, throwing my hands up at my sides.
"Well..." I shook my hands frantically from left to right.
"Not the time for it. Let's get to the lab," I said. Johnny and Dukey turned back around and we had went all the way back to the lab.
"Now, the pod is indestructible from the outside," Mr. White said.
"So we'll just have to attack it from inside," Dukey said. I typed on the keyboard and analyzed the robot. There was a small hole on the side of its hull.
"I see a small entrance point on the side of it," I said before turning to Johnny. "You can shapeshift, right?"
"Yeah, but... you want me to shapeshift into an animal small enough to go up its blowhole?" Johnny questioned.
"You're the one who wanted to be Johnny X," Mary said.
"Now go!" all of us except Johnny and Dukey exclaimed. He groaned before hopping on Dukey and flying away. The rest of us ran downstairs and Mr. Black and White jumped in the tank with Mary joining shortly after. But then Mr. White popped up out of the entrance.
"There's no more room," he said.
"I'll ride on the tank barrel. Just don't move the damn thing," I said, jumping on the tank and crouching down before taking a hold of the tank barrel. Mr. White looked at me like I was crazy before shrugging and going back down into the tank. Then we were moving.
To be honest, it was not all that hard to hold on. Much easier than I thought really. Even though the tank was moving fast. About 50-65 miles per hour. I had hella grip on the thing though.
When we neared the pod, we saw that the pod was completely stopped, leading me to believe that Johnny's infiltration was successful. I jumped off the tank when it came to a halt and I stood next to the tank before piling on top of Dukey, shortly followed by Dukey. We all piled on top of his and he flew us up to a platform up near the top and we waited for Johnny to let us in. It didn't take long for the door to open up for us, all of us ready for combat.
"Uh-oh," Bling Bling said. I smiled. This wouldn't take long. But then I saw guards running towards us. Dukey kicked two of them, Black and White blasted another two guards and a whole group of guards were running towards me and Mary. I charged up the energy I felt in my bones and projected it out of my hands. They were blasted back and they were forced through the walls of the pod and out onto the street below. They were probably dead, but I didn't really care all that much. Then I could hear Eugene chuckle nervously.
"I'm in trouble, aren't I?" he asked. I gripped him from out of the chair he was in and pulled him towards me in front of my face.
"Oh, big time," I said, my expression stony. I pushed him towards Mr. Black and Mr. White, who immediately grabbed ahold of him.
"Now to save my sister from your evil clutches!" Johnny exclaimed. I rolled my eyes.
"Stop being overdramatic and let's get her our of here," I said. We then took off running towards the nearest hallway where Susan was sure to be held. God, this was starting to get repetitive real quick.
"Susan! We're here to rescue yo-"
"Wow!"
We were all halted by the look of the next room. It had just about everything a person would want by average means of food. Arcades, a gigantic pool, food places, and more. It was really impressive.
"I think we sure stay here and make sure he hasn't damaged anything," Johnny said.
"Good plan," Mr. Black and White said. I rolled my eyes.
"Why pretend like you don't want to stay?" I said as I jumped down with ease. I knew I was going to enjoy myself while I was here.
A/N: Was a pretty simple chapter, but wasn't much I could do for this one without having an excuse to introduce the artificially caused Force abilities, so yea. But I hope you all enjoyed nonetheless.
