Running Amok

"Holy CRAAAAAAAAAP!!" Rondana screamed, running down a hall. The rest of the group wasted no time: They were running for their lives in a matter of two seconds.

"THIS PLACE IS MESSED UP!" Lee shouted, clinging onto a very unhappy Tyrannis since he couldn't run too fast. Shadow kept shouting insults behind her.

"YOU ANTISEPTIC, WHITE COAT WEARING FREAKS!!" She screamed. She looked forward and… Everyone had turned the corner but her.

"DOOF!" She ran smack into the wall. Trayos reached around the corner and grabbed her wrist then dragged her off the wall. Aladd gave Shadow a smug look and she gave him the raspberries. They absolutely detested each other, even though through weird circumstances they were cousins (Read Tigger and the Rock Hearts by Mysgrl7).

"Can we get going!" Tigger asked shrilly. Trayos shook his head.

"They still have Dawne. I'm not letting them mess with her again" He said firmly. Shadow felt her heart sink to her stomach. He's going out of his way to save Dawne…

"Are you nuts?! We're going to DIE if we stay any longer…" Ari said. Trayos put on his most determined face.

"Dawne helped me out of this place a long time ago… I owe her"

Oh. Well that's a relief… somewhat, Shadow thought.

"I'll go with you" She said softly. He had a point: Dawne had gotten them out of some scrapes at school…

Trayos smiled gratefully. Everyone else just stared silently.

"Anyone else?" Shadow asked. Hopefully, someone else would come. Tyrannis shrugged.

"Whatever, I guess…" He muttered. Lee nodded. Tigger inched forward. Rondana sighed and joined them. Ari took a step closer. Aladd looked defiant.

"C'mon Aladd! We can kick some butt!"

Aladd almost ran over to them. Rondana huffed.

"We're going to die…"

"You sound like Stork!"

"Now let's get away before those guards come back"

Rondana pointed.

"That's the whole reason we're going to die"

A bunch of guards stood behind them.

"Crap!"

X

"Now what, Mister Man-With-The-Plan?!" Aladd asked sarcastically as they were thrown into a room. Trayos didn't say anything. Nobody had gotten away but Tyrannis, who was currently running amok.

"Hey, don't yell at him! He didn't know we were going to get caught before we could actually plan!" Shadow defended.

"Protecting your boyfriend, eh?" Aladd asked snidely. Shadow turned a violent shade of red.

"Cotton headed ninny muggin!!" She shouted.

"Would you quit that already!"

"Cotton…"

"Don't you…"

"Headed…"

"Stop that…"

"NINNY MUGGIN!!"

"SHUT UP!" Rondana roared.

"You guys, are SO immature! We're tied up in a lab, in the middle of God knows where, and YOU TWO are calling each other cotton headed ninny muggings!" She shouted. Aladd pointed.

"She started it!" He accused. Shadow blew a raspberry.

"Cotton headed…"

"SEE!"

No one noticed that Trayos was gone…

X

"Can't they do anything else?" A security guard muttered. The girl had been shouting the same thing over and over again, the boy was shouting crude insults and the other girl was trying to reason with them. Everyone was shouting and choosing sides…

Wait a second, what had happened to that other boy? The one with the over sized jacket…

"Surprise!" Trayos shouted, slamming a large piece of equipment into the guard's head. The guard slumped to the floor and Trayos began to shut down all the camera's and alarms. Wow, that was easy…

X

"STOP IT!!"

"Ninny muggin, ninny muggin…" Shadow chanted. Aladd tried to cover his ears.

"Hey guys!" Trayos burst out of another room, untied and grinning like a child. Shadow stopped chanting.

"How did you…?!" She demanded. Trayos started looking for something.

"Simple: I got out of here once, so that means I can do it again." He explained, as if that made any sense. Shadow was so confused.

"Aha! I knew they hid them in here!" Trayos exclaimed, pulling two sabers out of a drawer. What a weird place to hide weapons…

"Hang on a sec… Hey what are you doing?!" Shadow asked as Trayos got closer, igniting his sabers.

"Chill, I'm just going to cut the ropes. You act like I'm going to kill you"

"Well, that's actually happened before…" Shadow said thoughtfully. The ropes were sliced in half. Trayos looked at her funny.

"People have tried to kill you?"

"Well, they've probably tried to kill everybody else here too, considering they're Cyclonians…" Shadow muttered, rubbing her wrists.

"Oh. Makes sense" Trayos muttered. Shadow felt really stupid. Then, she noticed the now dead security camera.

"How ironic"

"Actually, I shut them off"

"Oh"

X

"They just SHUT OFF?! HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!" Marks screamed, almost popping the vein on his neck. Veronica almost laughed at the poor intern he was spitting at. She stopped herself, knowing it was her was going to be spitting on if she did laugh. That and this was a mostly serious situation. MOSTLY serious…

X

"Where are we going?" Shadow whispered. Ari put her fingers to her lips.

"Shhh!"

Shadow resisted the urge to stick out her tongue. Tigger kept looking around, the way an animal does when looking for an escape route. Rondana looked grim, and Lee was poking people.

"Pillsbury!" He whispered, jabbing Aladd in the stomach. Aladd looked ready to punch him. Shadow couldn't believe she knew these people…

Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Well, I'm off to the beach people! No new chappies for a week, sorry buddy!

Hope you enjoyed it! The next will be SO much longer… Oh, and I watched Elf (In the middle of summer, yes I'm weird) and obsessed over the word Cotton headed ninny muggin, so I used it. A lot.

Happy summer!! Oh, sorry for te wait!!
