Chapter 6
Sportacus wasn't sure what to do now. He'd never come up against anything like this before.
"If you go out there you're going to get sick too." Stephanie said before blowing her nose again. The above average hero smiled and helped her to a seat at the kitchen table. Sitting down next to her, he said,
"I'm not sure that I have much choice. I have to find out what is causing this before things get any worse." Then the phone rang and the Mayor answered it.
"Meanswell residence." He said.
"Mayor, this is Pixel. I'm picking up some strange readings off my computer and I think Sportacus needs to see them. I don't have the mail tube can you send him a letter?" The Gizmo Guy asked.
"I'll do you one better. He's over here. How about I send him over to your house?" Mayor Meanswell asked.
"Perfect. Thanks." With that Pixel hung up the phone and Milford turned to Sportacus.
"Pixel has picked up some strange readings on his computer and he thinks you should see them."
"I'll go right over." The above average hero said. He smiled at Stephanie and then took off. The fourteen year old watched him run in his raincoat. She hoped that that would be warm enough for the quick trip to Pixel's.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Robbie smacked the Weather Infuser 6000 with a wrench. The monitor continued to show it's message,
"WARNING: MALFUNCTION." The machine started to shake violently and suddenly three more projectiles were launched at the clouds.
"This can't be good." Robbie muttered to himself. Quickly, he abandoned any hope of shutting the machine down and turned back to his tube. Lifting the lid, the villain hopped inside and slid down. After landing on his big fuzzy orange chair, Robbie prepared to buckle down for the longest storm LazyTown had ever seen.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Pixel let Sportacus into his house and the two quickly raced up to the computer. The Gizmo Guy pulled up the latest information on the strange weather activity in LazyTown.
"I ran a diagnostic scan of the clouds that formed shortly before it started to rain and something doesn't make any sense." The fifteen year old said as the two looked at the scans.
"What am I looking at?" Sportacus asked.
"Normal scans would show the approximate amount of precipitation that each cloud carries. Each cloud should vary slightly. The color of the diagram represents the amounts. For instance, gray shows a very little amount, light green shows an inch, and this very dark green shows six inches. Notice what the clouds look like?" Pixel explained.
"They're all dark green." The above average hero said.
"Exactly. Every cloud is carrying exactly the same amount of precipitation." Pixel told him.
"That's not natural." Sportacus leaned back from the computer screen and stood up straight.
"No, it isn't. In fact it's as if someone created the clouds with the precipitation inside them." The Gizmo Guy said.
"How do you do that?" Sportacus asked.
"I did some research but I couldn't find anything with weather creating capabilities." Pixel told him.
"Is there anyway to trace where the clouds came from?" The blue sports elf asked as he began to pace around.
"According to the radar, the clouds were not there at 1:50 pm and appeared at 1:51 pm. I checked with the National Weather Service and they didn't expect to see any clouds in our area until later in the week. They have someone working on figuring out what happened on their end." Pixel explained.
"You called the National Weather Service?" Sportacus was impressed.
"Sure, my satellite dishes are some of the best around and they rely on me sometimes in case they get inaccurate readings." Pixel just stated it as if it was no big deal.
"Wow. Well is there anything we can do while we're waiting for them to get back to us?" The above average hero wondered.
"I'm going to try to create and run my own program but that's going to take awhile." Pixel said.
"Do what you can. I'll head back over to the Mayor's house, call me when you get something." Sportacus told him.
"Will do." The Gizmo Guy said as he immediately got to work.
To Be Continued…
