Planet Earth
Chapter Four: Mission Scare
"Around 12:30 this afternoon, Gold-trim Bank was suddenly assaulted by robbers in dark blue masks—these swine are armed with rifles, machine guns, grenades and many other weapons of war. Heck! Even sniper rifles are seen in certain windows of the bank," Commander Abraham spoke, "But that isn't the worst of it, while these robbers try to swipe all the money, gold and other loot inside, a bomb has been set up to detonate in 10 minutes—this bomb contains the power of an atomic bomb and a nuclear missile," the reported fixes his glasses, "If this mega bomb manages to explode…not only will the Station Square be evaporated but almost half the planet will be in deep radiation."
"So we just secretly snipe them out and disconnect the bomb," one of the soldiers said, "Seems simple enough."
"As soon as you snipe one of the men, the guy holding the remote will detonate the bomb and kill all the innocent civilians that still lurk inside," Commander Abraham said, "The last thing we need is a billion people suddenly dead on the floor!" He sighed and looked towards the blue blur and smirked, "Then it's time to take Blue on his first mission."
"B-But sir, h-he's still in test training," Professor Clarke said, "We still don't know what other secrets he holds. I don't think that this is a wise—"
"When I make a decision Clarke, there is no debate or discussion," Commander spoke sternly, "Get the blue hedgehog ready for the mission, am I understood?"
"Y-Yes sir," Professor Clarke sighed.
A few minutes later and just meters away from the bomb threat sight, the blue hedgehog sat by a table strapped in a bulletproof suit, his feet covered in red footwear and is listening to what the Commander had to say. The blue blur had such curiosity and excitement boiling in his blood for a 7-year-old—he felt ready to charge in and do whatever he had to do, but at the same time, felt a bit nervous on whether he might complete or fail this mission.
"All right men, let's get ready for the biggest threat of Station Square," Commander Abraham spoke, "Team A will surround the west side, making sure no robbers leave or try to sneak their way out…Team B will take the roof, I need those snipers down and and out after Blue disarms the bomb…and Team C and I will head to the south side, ready to ambush into the building and save the civilians. All right men! Let's move out!"
Professor Clarke carefully placed a small tracker into the blue hedgehog's fur before he spoke, "Okay Blue, this test isn't like the ones back at the facility—there isn't a do over or a try again speech, you need to pass otherwise millions of people can be lost," he gently petted the blue creature's head, "Now, your mission is to find the bomb and disarm it—I suggest taking the ventilation, it's your best bet from being spotted. Be careful and stay safe."
Clarke petted the hedgehog once more before gently placing it near a vent before he ran off into hiding—the blue blur gulped and nervoulys stepped into the metallic room…it was quiet, dark and had a strange omniscient aura in the air. He kept his breathing steady as he quietly tip toed towards his destination, listening to the robbers that chatted underneath him; he could hear the robbers talk their plans about the money they were going to use and how much of a future they were going to gain with it. As the blue hedgehog quietly took another step, the metal underneath him collapsed as he fell through the debris and hit the floor with a loud yelp—he groaned as he sat up and shook his head, but quickly froze in fear as he watched some robbers point their guns at him.
"What the heck is this thing?" one of the robbers spoke, "I never seen anything like it before."
"You think it's a government animal spy?" another robber spoke.
"Don't be stupid, it's just a dumb animal that wandered its way in here," the leader said, "Now stop wasting your time on it and focus on getting the money and getting out of here."
"Sorry boss." The robbers spoke.
The blue hedgehog sighed in relief as he watched the robbers go back to their business while he quietly made his way down the hall and to his destination—when he went inside, his eyes widened as he saw a huge bomb strapped tight onto a pole; he looked around, seeing if he could somehow gnaw it out, but the duct tape was sealed on too tight for him to wiggle the bomb loose. He sighed and stopped to see two wires underneath the timer—one could empty the liquid and disarm the bomb entirely, and the other could end up unleashing a force that could destroy the world…question was, which was the right wire to chew on?
Sweat dripped down his head, unsure what to do as he felt a sheer amount of panic and fear rise inside him—he felt as though he wasn't ready for this…he felt as through they should've used one of their professionals to deal with all this pressure. The blue blur took a quick glance at the timer…1 minute and 30 seconds remaining…it was time to make a decision…there was no going back; he swallowed his courage and instantly began to chew on the red wire. 50 seconds remaining…he could feel himself beginning to get light-headed from all of this pressure…he thought he wouldn't disarm the bomb in time.
20 seconds…he finally chewed through the exterior and now had to snip the last metal piece, and boy was it stubborn…10 seconds…the bomb gave off a red glow slowly emitting smoke as the ground beneath him began to shake…5 seconds…he could feel the heat of the weapon rising, he thought this was finally it…he thought he failed them mission…4…3…2…1…
With a loud snap, the blue blur finally cut through the wire and perked his ears to hear no loud explosion—he looked up and saw the timer gone and the bomb slowly going into its dormant state; he did…he actually did it! He panted in relief and went to sit down when one of the robbers grabbed him by the back of his fur—he yelped and squeaked as the leader aimed his gun's tip right at the hedgehog's forehead.
"You stupid idiot freak of nature!" the leader snarled, "Who are you working for?! Who told you to disarm the bomb?!"
"I did!"
Professor Clarke jumped out from hiding and managed to knock the gun away from the leader's hand before giving a swift kick in the back of his head—the leader collapsed onto the floor and released his grip on the blue hedgehog. The scared blue blur jumped into the professor's arms, clinging onto him and shaking, not wanting to ever go through that again.
"It's okay blue, I got you," Professor Clarke said softly, "You did a fantastic job—I'm very proud."
"Professor! That hedgehog of yours is brilliant!" Commander spoke, "With him on the team, no army shall dare mess with us! We can win every war…any evil that may come our way! I'm talking about huge fame and fortune!"
"No! He's been through enough trauma as it is!" Professor Clarke retorted, "He is only 7 years old Abraham! He is way too young for such a serious mission! He could've been killed!"
"But he's not is he?" Commander snorted, "He's alive and well—I suggest giving him much harder tests and set him up for missions in the near future, am I understood? Or do you want to go back home poor and jobless?"
Professor Clarke sighed, "…understood sir."
"I'm telling you Clarke, there is a huge future ahead for all of us," Commander grinned as he walked off, "Yes! I can see a huge success for us!"
"For us or yourself, Commander." Professor Clarke muttered as he carried the hedgehog back to base.
I'm beginning to despise this Commander...(Well, this is my first time using fanfiction. So, what do you guys think of this story so far? Please Review ^^)
