Chapter 7
Working Together
"Run Aelita!" Ulrich screamed. The two dashed down the icy path as fast as they could. The megatank was charging towards them faster and faster.
"We need to do something!" Aelita panted.
Ulrich looked up and noticed a small ledge sticking out of the wall. "I got a plan!" he answered. "Shoot an energy field on my mark!"
The two kept running breathlessly with the megatank getting closer and closer. Aelita summoned an energy field in her hand waiting for Ulrich's mark.
"Now!" Ulrich shouted. Aelita threw the energy field at the megatank making it bounce off its metal shell. "Hey metal brain! Come and get us!"
The megatank took Ulrich's challenge and opened up, revealing its red insides and its eye. The megatank started up its laser.
"Wings Aelita!" Ulrich shouted. Aelita activated her wings and took Ulrich's hand. Aelita pulled Ulrich up just as the megatank shot its laser.
The two landed safely on the ledge and Ulrich called out, "Hey! Up here!"
The megatank looked up at Ulrich and Aelita and opened up again. Ulrich jumped down from the ledge, saber at hand, stabbing it into the eye.
The megatank exploded on impact with Ulrich catching his saber as it flew. Aelita flew down and joined Ulrich. "Nice plan," she said.
"Thanks," Ulrich replied. "Let's just hope Dani and Odd are okay and deactivate this tower."
"Do you have a plan Odd?" Dani asked. Dani and Odd were in the same situation except they had two megatanks coming towards them.
"Not exactly," Odd answered. "Do you?"
"Kinda," Dani said. "But I'm gonna wing it."
"What?!" Odd shouted.
"Just go with it!" Dani replied. "I want you to climb that megatank."
"How?" Odd asked.
"You're a cat! Figure it out!" Dani simply said. Odd nodded and looked behind him at the two metal monsters charging their way.
Dani jumped from wall to wall and to a ledge jutting out of the walls.
With a mighty jump, Odd leapt into the air and landed on the megatank. He tried to keep his balance as the megatank kept rolling.
The megatank stopped in its tracks and the second megatank behind it did the same. It rolled back and forth trying to shake Odd off.
"Whoa!" Odd screamed. He slipped and was clinging onto the megatank by his claws. "Dani! Do something!"
"Hold on!" Dani replied. She readied her bow and arrow and aimed at the megatank.
"Dani!" Odd yelped. He was hanging on the crack of the megatank. The megatank opened up and Odd fell into its insides, hanging onto its red guts.
Just as the megatank was about to close and trap Odd inside, Dani released her arrow and it stuck into the megatank's eye.
Odd jumped out of the way before the monster blew up. "Nice shot!" Odd said waving at Dani.
"Odd watch out!" Dani shouted. Odd turned to see the second megatank open and charge its laser.
"Laser arrow!" A laser arrow shot from Odd's hand soared through the air shooting the megatank and making it blow up to smithereens.
"Nice job," Dani said as she hopped down from the ledge.
"Thanks!" Odd replied. He stuck his hand out for a congratulatory handshake. Dani eyed his open hand and hesitated. She turned her back to Odd.
"We better get going," Dani said sternly. "Ulrich and Aelita are probably already down at the tower."
"Come on Dani!" Odd exclaimed. "You're still so mad that you won't even shake my hand?!" But before Dani could answer, she ran off down the path.
