"Wait, Sissy...are you saying that Johnny actually is at one of these locations...and has been for the past week?"
"It's the only explanation. But...he must be in terrible shape, we've got to get to him, fast!"
"But Sissy, these locations are miles apart. There's no way you could search them all quickly..." Dukey suddenly grinned. "...without teleportation."
"Teleportation?"
"That's right. A while back, Susan and Mary built a machine that gave Johnny and me the ability to teleport. It's still here, and it shouldn't be too hard to boot it up and get it working. If you'll work the machine, I can-"
"I am NOT sitting back here like some stupid damsel while you go off tosave my boyfriend from peril!"
Dukey stared at Sissy, then nodded. "Alright, but are you sure? Johnny has some pretty fierce enemies. I mean, if one of them has gone crazy like Zizrar did-" He stopped. "I shouldn't have said that."
Sissy stared at him. She knew what he was saying. Zizrar hadn't always been the way he was when he'd snatched her, but he had been one of Johnny's sometime enemies. Sissy had heard all of Johnny's stories. If one of them had gone to Zizrar's level of brutality in seeking revenge..."Just work the machine, dog."
"Right. It's over here."
A quick energizing and programming of the machine and Sissy later, and she was ready to go.
"Okay, to activate the telport powers, raise your arms over your head, then bring them down together. I'll be back here, guiding you to each of the locations."
"All right," Sissy said. She raised her arms.
"WAIT!" Dukey ran to the weapons locker, adn came back with a strangely configured shotgun. "Here. Johnny made this."
"What is it?"
"He calls it the APG. It has a huge energy battery instead of a clip, and generates various types of energy shots, with everything from the stun blast of the Bling Bling Blaster to deadly lasers. Twist the handle on the slide to change the ammo type, then cock it to load."
She twisted the slide. A screen on top shifted between several ammo types as she twisted, each image complete with descriptions of the shot, the energy it took to fire, the effect on the target, and the neccessarry cool down time.
"How did Johnny make something like this?"
"He was tinkering. He said he wanted something that was truely HIS to use, should he ever need to fight to protect you again. So you would know you could count on him."
"...that idiot..." Sissy had tears in her eyes. Wiping them away, she slung the strap of the APG over her shoulder, strapping it to her back. "Okay, I'm ready." She raised her hands above her head. "Teleport powers: GO!" She brought her arms down fast, and warped.
Her first stop was Paris, just outside the Lourve. One wall of the Lourve had a huge splash of blood on it. She looked at it, and listened as police were discussing it. She understood enough French to learn that the cops estimated at least a cup of blood had been thrown against the wall. They would rule it vandalism, but the tests said it was human blood, and they needed to find out where it came from. Raising her arms, she warped again.
Next she was in Chao Nao, near the military base with the giant magnet. She could see clearly that this was another blood pool. Not waiting to see how people would react to her appearing there like that, she warped away again.
The story was the same at the Tower of London, the Great Pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall of China, and in the African safari. Sissy was getting worried. By her count, this meant someone had drained Johnny of at least three pints of blood rapidly enough that it was all still fresh. He couldn't be in good condition after all of this. In desperation, she warped again.
She found herself outside some sort of base. There was no sign of blood...or Johnny. "Dukey, what's going on?" She had a comlink connected to the lab.
"There's some sort of teleportation barrier around this location. That's as close as I can get you."
"That kinda implies this is the place, doesn't it?"
"So it would seem."
"Then wish me luck, dog." Sissy twisted the slide till the display read 'shotgun plasma', and cocked it. Aiming at the fence, she prepared to fire.
Inside the building, Johnny glared at the IV in his arm. He knew Mr. Mittens was only giving him blood so he could take it away again, and the nutrients were only to keep him alive so he could be broken. He refused to give the blasted cat the satisfaction of a final victory. He would wait for his sisters to find him.
"So, Johnny Test, awake are we?"
"SHut up you stupid cat. My sisters will find me, and then you're really going to get it. It's only a matter of time."
"It's been a week, Johnny Test. Don't you think they'd have found you by now...if they were looking?"
Johnny stared at him. "...you lie..."
"From all reports, they haven't even bothered to leave their lab. Doesn't seem like they're looking for you." Mr. Mittens was purring as he said this.
"YOU LIE!"
"Face it Johnny Test. You outshone them. You showed a hidden genius that was brighter than theirs, and they were jealous of you. Why do you think I had such an easy time capturing you?"
"...no..." He wouldn't believe it...he couldn't believe it...but...
"Face it, Johnny Test! You became a liability to their goals in life. They want you otu of the way. Did you really expect anything different from them? You know all they ever really cared about was science."
"...it can't be..."
"I'll just let you stew on that for a while, shall I?" Mr. Mittens turned and left the room, laughing.
Johnny felt hot tears stain his cheek. His sister's were looking for him...they wanted him back...didn't they?
