Chapter 15
Down in the dungeon, Siobhan had yet to stir. 2 of Althea's human guards, armed with only their rifles, came to examine the body that had been unconscious for 26 hours. Even the Jason looked pensive as They unchained her and lay her on a bed for examination. A doctor, also one of Althea's human henchmen, came in to join the guards, with a 3rd guard accompanying him for cover.
"How long she been out?" The doctor grunted
"Over a day," answered the first guard,
"Not looking good then," said the third guard, who had come in with the doctor.
"No, not really," The first guard sighed
The doctor placed his stethoscope to Siobhan's chest.
"I can't get a heartbeat!" He said through clenched teeth, feeling her wrist, "No pulse, she's dead." he concluded. The three captives looked from one another in shock and horror, but unseen to the others, Fi cracked a smirk. The guards turned from Siobhan, and laughed at the captives, at Pete in particular.
"killed one of your own team-mates, is this the standard of our opposition?" The second guard mocked, as Pete came close to tears.
However, as the guards walked away, a sky blue blast hit all three of them in the back, knocking the doctor to the floor. The guards, however, stood upright, Frozen, encased in ice. Siobhan sat upright. The doctor looked at her in dismay.
"You--were dead!--You---Your heart----it st--it stopped!" he stuttered
"Not stopped," Hissed Siobhan, "Just Frozen!"
From behind the terrified doctor came a n even more horrifying sound, that echoed around the city. Fi let out a scream that could wake the hounds of hell, as the chains holding her to the pole she was held to shattered as a nuclear blast charged through them and headed towards the doctor, who disintegrated as he was knocked through the air. The guards, frozen by Siobhan Shattered with the ice surrounding them. However, yet more guards came rushing through the door into the ransacked room. Fi fired another shot at the chains holding Jason and Pete. As they shattered, Jason fired a volcanic flame at the oncoming masses, who evaporated instantly. Pete shook the ground beneath their feet, and the doorway collapsed, preventing any further troops to enter the room. But their biggest threat had already entered from the back door.
"Sport?" Morgormir laughed as his copies flung Samson and Olva to the ground.
"Now let's see, names; Samson, Olva, Fi, Jason, my dear friend Pete, and YOU? he signalled to Siobhan, "You were supposed to be dead!"
"No, just hibernating," Siobhan snarled
"Hibernating? Very clever, very clever indeed, if you were a man, that would make you virtually the same as me!"
"Very flattering from the man who makes copies of himself!" Siobhan retorted
"Yes, quite," laughed Morgormir, almost as if he and Siobhan were best friends, which made Siobhan very nervous.
"However, now you WILL die, and i will make no mistakes of your conscious state, i assure you!" His tone had changed to that which Siobhan had expected, which, in a way, made her feel more comfortable.
"why, what are you going to do to me? Make a second version of me? Make me feel less unique?" She mockingly over dramatised her actions, pretending to swoon and the likes.
"No, just fill the room with poisonous gasses and lock you in! Simple really," Morgormir's words quickly washed the smile off Siobhan's face. As he turned to leave however, Siobhan fired a blast at the door, freezing it shut.
"And I've made sure that its chemical code means even i can't crack it, so if we die, you die too! David has enough people left to fight Althea..." But her words were drowned out by Morgormir's laughter. "What's so funny? You're going to die!"
"No I'm not!" Cackled Morgormir, "There was never any gas, there was just a trap! The time it takes for the ice to melt, David and the fly-by girl will be dead, and all hope will be lost! And with you trapped in here with me, there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Realising they'd been tricked, the team looked at each other in horror, except Olva, who pulled out a gun and shot Morgormir in the lower groin area as he called it. Morgormir let out a howl then bent over cradling his private area, before he created a copy of himself, then allowed the injured version of himself to disappear, and the repaired version of him to growl at Olva
"Had that been permanent I would have been VERY Upset!!"
