Chapter 3
It was three fifteen in the morning and the Hyperforce were still fast asleep until the distress call came on. They then quickly but tiredly went over to the control room.
"Man! What time is it?" Sprx asked after giving out a yawn.
"Gibson, any idea who sent the signal?" Chiro asked.
"It appears that the distress signal is coming from some sort of high-class battle-ship," Gibson explained with while looking through the computer and ignoring Sprx's question.
"Well it better be an emergency or else I'm gonna hit them really good for disrupting my beauty sleep!" he complained while rubbing his eyes.
"Save it Sprx, before you loose an arm!" Nova growled since she was in a really bad mood.
"Well it seems they're trying to make contact but without any luck, I'll try and make contact with them instead," Gibson explained again while typing on the keyboard vigorously.
Then a few minutes later, Gibson managed to get the people who were sending the call on the screen.
"Hello is this thing on! Testing, testing, one, two three," Eddie called out while tapping the screen.
"Yes it is on, now please tell us what is wrong," Gibson said calmly but was starting to get really agitated.
"Yeah before I knock you dead!" Sprx shouted at Eddie since he was clearly in a bad mood.
"SPRX!!" they all shouted at him for being rude while Nova punch him on the head.
"Uhh...did I call in a bad time?" Eddie asked who was clearly making things worse.
"EDDIE!!" his friends yelled at him from behind for wasting time.
"Hey I'm just asking!" he said back to is friends, looking slightly annoyed, and then went back to talking to the Hyperforce who he thought were in costumes. "Anyway, the point is we've just been hit and we're about to crash-land on your planet so we need help right now!"
"Warning, entering planet Shuggazoom on collision course, please activate emergency landing and shield system," the alarm said in the spaceship.
"Uhh...How do you do that exactly?" Alex asked, who was in front of the steering wheel but was loud enough for everyone to hear her.
"WHAT! You mean you don't know how to drive that spaceship you're in?!" Gibson shrieked since he just couldn't believe that they were on a ship that they had no idea how to work.
"Well we regained consciousness and we were already in space and in this dam spaceship," Eddie explained as calmly as possible.
"But Alex does know how to steer and drive," Katelyn said, who was still eating her pizza, and thought that might be helpful.
"That doesn't mean that I know how to work this thing properly you know," Alex explained.
"Okay no reason to panic, now just tell us what type of spaceship you're on," Sprx said.
"Uhh...well...we don't exactly know," Eddie confessed, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Isn't there some sort of manual on that ship?" Otto asked.
"As a matter of fact there is and my friends are looking through it," Eddie said, looking a bit nervous. "Hey Rae, can you come over here for a minute?"
"Sorry no can do, I'm still helping Alex out," Raven said while looking through the manual. "Just ask them what we need to do."
"Uh yeah can you please tell us what we need to do?" Eddie asked politely but nervously. Before they could explain to him, another warning came up.
"Warning, five minutes until collision with Shuggazoom, please activate emergency landing and shield system," the alarm said.
"That's what we're trying to figure out you stupid machine! Ouch!" Alex shouted while kicking the side of the ship but in the process of hurting her foot.
"Any idea which button we press?" Raven asked while looking at all the buttons that were in front of her.
"Is there a large green button in the middle?" Sprx asked.
"Uhh...yep there is," she said once she found a large, bright green button.
"Press that," he then said.
So without thinking twice, she immediately pushed the button.
"Shield activated," the alarm said as a green shield surrounded the spaceship.
"Well that worked, now we have to figure out where the emergency landing button is," Raven said while giving out a small sigh of relief.
"Well we better hurry up cause we're not that far from crash-landing on Shuggazoom," Kyle said while making sure he had his seatbelt on him and that he was tightly secure.
"Hey excuse me, but can you sort of h(static) us with this sit(static) please?" Eddie asked politely but they didn't hear his voice clearly.
"What did you say? We can barely hear you," Gibson said.
"Hello? I think I'm l(static) your signal," Eddie said before his signal was completely cut off.
"What happened?" Chiro asked while Gibson was typing at the computer with no such luck.
"Apparently, we lost their signal," Gibson explained with a worried expression. "That means they're in more trouble than they were before!"
"Why's that?" Otto asked, looking puzzled.
"Well they can't land here safely without knowing how to activate the emergency landing system, and if they don't do that then could get seriously injured," he explained to Otto.
"Oh yeah!" Otto exclaimed. "Well at least their shield's on."
"Thank you Captain Obvious, you win a golden star," Sprx sarcastically said.
"Thanks!" he said gleefully, obviously not getting the sarcasm in Sprx's voice.
"So what should we do?" Nova asked while looking at the navigator.
"I say we go out and help them, they could be seriously hurt when they land here," Chiro said.
"I agree, since I don't know how strong their ship is therefore there's a slight chance that they will survive," Gibson said.
"So let's get out there already!" Nova shouted while she and the others were running towards their own tube to get outside.
While the hyperforce were talking to each other,
"Hey Eddie, what went wrong?" Riley asked.
"I don't know, I lost contact with them for some reason," he explained, looking confused.
"I take it that's not a good thing," Katelyn said with a questioning look while thinking very hard.
"Brilliant deduction Captain Obvious, you win the grand prize," Eddie sarcastically replied.
"Why thank you Edmond," she said, not realizing that she said his name wrong.
"It's Edward!" he shouted.
"Whoever! You should be happy I said your name at all," Katelyn said who was getting annoyed with Eddie shouting at her just because she said his name wrong.
"Will you two stop that!?" Raven shouted while getting irritated with their bickering. "We've got more problems ahead, look!"
They all looked at the front to see that they were about to crash-land in about a matter of a minutes. They even began to realize that they were going down faster than they were before.
"What are we going to do; we don't even know where the emergency landing button is!" Kyle shouted while squealing like a pig.
"Well we're just gonna have to make a guess work!" Alex shouted back while looking at all the buttons.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?!" Midnight asked, ducking under a seat with fear.
"Yeah because the last time you did guess work, we ended up in big trouble!" Gigi shrieked while going under the seat as well.
"No that was Katelyn who did the guess work," Alex explained, feeling irritated.
"Ohh yeeaahh!!" everyone else (except for Katelyn) exclaimed, remembering what really happened before.
"But it doesn't matter, we better think of something quick before we're in serious trouble," she explained.
"But at least the shield's up," Katelyn said. "And another good thing about us being part vampires is because we're all immortal so we can't die from it."
"That's the problem, if someone sees that we're still alive and not injured, they'll know," Raven explained, looking nervous.
"So let's start looking at these buttons to see if we can find the right one," Alex said.
"Oooo can I help?" Katelyn asked eagerly.
"I don't know Kate; you sometimes do things that get us into trouble," she said nervously.
"Yeah remember the last time you helped us we almost got killed!" Raven said.
"Look I just want to help you guys a bit that's all so please!!" Katelyn pleaded.
"Well….," Alex said since she wasn't so sure about it.
"Please!!" she pleaded again.
"Alright! Alright! But only a little help, and fast!" Alex then said with haste. "'Cause we don't really have that much time left!"
"Alright got it! Got it, so let's get started then," Katelyn said while looking at all the buttons.
"Okay, which button should we try first?" Raven asked with curiosity.
"Hey what does this button do I wonder?" Katelyn asked herself quietly while aiming her finger towards the bright red button.
When Alex saw Katelyn aiming her finger towards that button, she noticed some small writing that were big enough for her to read it beside the button that said:
Eject button
Don't press it unless for emergency
Only ejects front passengers
"KATE DON'T PRESS THAT!!" Alex shouted, trying to stop Katelyn after reading it.
Before she got that message, her finger had already pressed the button. The minute she pressed it, part of the roof opened on top of Raven and Alex and their seats shot them up into the air and out of the ship!!! Once they were out of the ship, the roof then closed by itself.
"Katelyn what did you do?!" Riley asked, looking completely shocked.
"I don't know all I did was press this button and they all of a sudden went up through the roof," Katelyn explained, looking slightly confused.
"Maybe it's because you pressed the eject button!" Eddie shouted, looking at the instructions beside the button before looking really angry at Katelyn.
"No I didn't!" Katelyn shouted back at him and then went to the button to see what it was and realized that he was right. "Oh, I did, oops."
"What are we gonna do now?!" Kyle asked, now looking really scared.
"Well thanks to Katelyn, there's nothing we can do except sit tight on our seats and scream and panic!" Eddie said before screaming like a little girl.
"But what about Raven and Alex, they've just been shot out of the spaceship and all you can think about is sitting tight on your seat, screaming and panicking!" Amber shouted at Eddie who was still screaming.
"We've got more problem ahead, we're gonna hit those trees!!" Kyle shouted before letting out a humongous scream.
The other looked to where Raven and Alex were before they were ejected out and realized that they weren't far from crashing towards a couple of trees!
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" they all screamed before crashing into the trees and loosing consciousness.
