Chapter 16- After the Shadow Games
"Did you just use the Voice on me?" Stella asked Keri who walked away and hi-fived Frank.
"I guess the Prank War is still on, right?" Keri asked smirking.
"Yeah, bring it on." Aneisha said.
"I am the best person we've got guys." Keri whispered to Aneisha, Tom and Dan.
"Is that so?" Dan asked sarcastically.
"Um, yeah! I faked my own death and nearly gave Fran and Stella a heart attack and I used the voice on Stella so I could keep my job! So yeah, I'm definitely the best person you've got. Does that answer your question Dan?" He just rolled his eyes and sighed.
"I guess she's right."
"So, what are we going to do now? They are so going to get us back so we need to do something even bigger." Tom explained.
"But we can't do anything to hurt them, Stella will probably sack us." Aneisha stated.
They all stood thinking for a while until Dan jumped excitedly causing Frank and Stella to raise their eyebrows at him.
"I've got an idea!" Dan whispered excitedly. He had a broad smile on his face. They waited for Dan to tell them the plan.
"Well hurry up! Tell us!" Keri whispered impatiently.
"Doppelgangers!"
"Wow Dan! You actually came up with a good idea!" Tom exclaimed sarcastically.
"Thanks Tom…hey, wait a second!" Dan glared at Tom in mock-anger and the girls laughed while Frank and Stella looked at them in a funny way, wondering what they were up to. They were also trying to come up with a really good prank to fool the kids.
"Come on Frank, think!" Stella said, clearly frustrated that they are losing at the Prank War with the team.
"Excuse me! I don't see you coming up with any bright ideas; in fact I don't recall you coming up with any ideas at all!" Frank smirked and Stella and she sighed in defeat.
"Touché."
They stayed in an awkward silence for five minutes until Frank had an idea.
"What about I reprogram the lift so that they swap clothes." Stella sighed in frustration.
"Frank, we need something bigger, better, so that it affects the whole team but doesn't hurt them or we'll get hurt pretty bad." She smiled a little and Frank looked a little hurt.
"It was a good idea, just not big enough to set the team straight." She kissed his cheek and he gave her a little smile.
"Ok, thanks babe. I've got to go so I can fix the drains. They're stinking the school out. I'll think of something while I'm there. Promise." He kissed Stella softly on the lips because walking into the lift and giving Stella a small smile. She gave Frank a smile back and mouthed 'I love you'. He mouthed back 'I love you too' then the lift doors closed. Stella sighed again in frustration and the team smirked.
"Can't you think of anything Stella? Because I think we've outsmarted you!" Dan nudged Keri in annoyance. "Well, Dan did anyway." Stella frowned at them which made them all laugh.
"Oh…shut up!" She stormed away in mock-anger into the tunnels after she poked her tongue out at them.
"Wow, she's matured." Everyone laughed at Tom's comment.
"So… how are we going to get these 'doppelgangers'?" Aneisha looked at Dan and he shrugged in response.
"Just because I came up with the idea doesn't mean I have the whole thing planned out."
"Nice one genius."
"Shut up Keri. I don't suppose our genius can come up with a solution to that." They all looked at Tom and he smirked.
"What?"
"Well actually Dan, I do have an idea." The others looked at him shocked and then turn to Dan who was feeling sheepish. Tom smirked at him and Dan put his hands up in defeat.
"Ok, ok. I was wrong. Are you happy?"
"Not quite, Drop and give me 20." The girls giggled.
"Ok…" He started to do 20 push-ups on the cold, hard floor.
"Not 20 push-ups you idiot, 20 pounds!" Tom slapped his forehand which made the girls continue their giggling fit. Dan got up off of the ground, smiling sarcastically at Tom and handed him 20 pounds.
"Wait…why did I just give you my lunch money? Give it back!" Tom shoved the note into his pocket and zipped it out. Dan just slumped into the chair and sighed.
"Back to the prank…" Dan looked at Tom.
"Oh yeah… sometimes while I'm waiting for game requests or bored of hacking into M.I.9 files, I read about the past M.I High teams and their missions, gadgets, enemies so we can be ready for whatever hits us in the future." Tom smiled proudly at himself while his team rolled their eyes.
"Get to the point!" Dan was getting impatient and he was angry at the fact that he had lost 20 pounds to his best friend who wasn't even a good fighter!
"Well anyway… I read about this mission called 'Operation Looking Glass' and it's about a secret facility called S.C.A.B, they use cybernetics and bionics. It was run by the old Chief Agent, Horatio Stark…"
"Horatio, that's a funny name." Keri and Aneisha giggled.
"Anyway… it was based to create Cybernetics…" Aneisha coughed.
"Their androids, Aneisha." Aneisha nodded.
"Continue."
"Thanks. You have to replicate real people in order to make an exact android."
"So where is this place?" Keri asked.
"It's at an old warehouse somewhere near M.I.9 HQ."
"Well then, let's go!" Keri jumped up and ran to the lift followed by the others. Little did they know who they were going to run into there…
