Chapter 2- The agonising thought

Then next day, The gardener from summertime came to visit the school. Miss Macbeth was delight that he was just like her, that she immediately made him feel at home. "Welcome, Mr Spike. Come to help me capture the Invisible Network of Kids, Have you?" Miss Macbeth asked. "Well, I'm looking for a group of kids that were with me during vacation" He said with a harsh, American accent.

"Hey, Zero. Er.. want to look at the stars sometime?" Vin asked. "Maybe… never!" Zero shouted. "Meet me outside at 7pm and make sure no one sees us" Zero whispered into Vin's ear.

"Trixie, are you sure you don't want to be mine?" Newton asked, shyly. "Wait till you're a little bit older; Then I'll think about it" Trixie replied with a smile.

"I stopped being a children's' singer 30 odd years ago because they give me so much grief and it was a lot of hard work" Miss Macbeth explained to the gardener as they walked through the corridors together. "Your name doesn't happen to be Sadie, does?" He asked. "Why yes, yes it is" Miss Macbeth replied. "I see you love birds are getting along" Mr Soper said as he stood in the hallway.

While I.N.K. was busy with love-related tasks; YRDJ and I spied on Miss Macbeth and The gardener secretly while the others watched through the surveillance camera on the screen in I.N.K.'s HQ in the school's attic.

"But we're not…" They began in unison. "Well, look at that. You're even talking at the same time. Well, I've got a class to teach, see you later Sadie" Mr Sopper said to them as he walked over to their glass dome roof classroom.

Miss Macbeth escorted the gardener into her creepy office where Vagner was in his fish bowl, watching his every move. Then she revealed to the gardener her marvellous plan to take over the school. 'I'm changing all of 'the REAL world' into cartoon so every child will get forced to come here and weep. My minor plan is…' she began but was interrupted by Mr Sopper speaking to the class which they heard through Miss Macbeth's hidden speakers.

'A long time ago, there was boat called the 'Titanic'. They said 'It was unsinkable' but an iceberg proved them wrong long after they'd left Belfast to get to America. The boat sank and load of people died, survivors on boats tried to save as many as they could but they didn't have enough life boats.

Another boat managed to get them to America in the end and many were traumatized. It was the most tragic thing in all of history' Mr Sopper said.

Newton raised his hand. 'So was it the crew or the captian's fault?' Newton asked.

'Good question. No one knows for sure but apparently, the captian had been warned about icebergs from other ships but he ignored it. You see, if they'd had more lifeboats, maybe less innocent people wouldn't have died and if the captain had listened to the warnings the tradgady wouldn't have happened in the first place' Mr Sopper replied.

Then we dismissed us and we followed I.N.K. to the usual climbing frame hang-out.

Miss Macbeth's eye lit up with glee. 'My next scheme will be the great!' she exclaimed as she whispered to the Gardener what the plan was. "That is genius!" He agreed.

Then Miss Macbeth began to make phone calls.

'Do you think we should recruit more people?' Zero asked.

'No, do that and it'll seem like you're going to copy 'KND-Kids Next Door' next' I replied, dismissively.

'We'll have to think it over. Come on, guys' Trixie replied, calmly as I.N.K. went off to their secret attic hideout again.

'So what do you guys think?' I asked.

Complete silence.

'Mr Sopper, I've arranged a special outing for the children to go on a cruise and hired some assistants to help me' Miss Macbeth said, a fake, sweet voice.

'That sounds like a great idea. Go ahead, Sadie' Mr Sopper replied.

Then behind Mr Sopper's back, she smiled evilly.

The bell went and we went inside while dreading Miss Macbeth's lesson.

When we all sat down, she had a stupid grin on her face.

'Today, class, we're going to a cruise outing!' She announced.

Then everyone but us cheered.

'She's up to something, I can feel it' I whispered into my watch as She organised everyone into groups.

'We know, Macbeth's Always up to something' Zero stated.

'We have to split up, guys' Trixie whispered into her pen.

'As for you guys, you'll be staying together' Miss Macbeth said as she got round to us while the rest of the class were already in their friendship groups.

I groaned softly.

Then Miss Macbeth, as though she was some sort of scout leader, led the way to the bus.

The usual bus driver with brown hair and eyes drove us to a place far away that looked similar to the port that the titanic had been at Belfast before it had sailed away with its fate sealed.

'Come on now, get on the boat!' she shrieked.

We went on the boat and the inside looked similar to a ferry but the only difference was that we were the only ones inside.

'Hey, where's Miss Macbeth?' Daryl asked.

Miss Macbeth was standing outside with a wide grin as she whacked the boat with a glass bottle.

The boat shook violently and everyone but us began to panic.

'Calm down, we'll find a way out of here' Trixie said, reassuringly.

Zero stayed with the rest of the class while we tried to find an escape route. The rest of the boat looked like an abandon warehouse with boxes everywhere. Then was movement on my left and I turned. Nothing. There was more movement above and I looked. Still nothing.

'Guys, we're being followed' I whispered.

'Let's change. Zero, there are other people here. Put on your mask' Trixie said to zero.

'Roger that, Trix' Zero replied as each member of I.N.K. blew their bubble-gum and popped on their pink bunny mask while were transformed with our masks on.

Miss Macbeth watched as the boat slowly sank. 'Goons, whatever you do; Don't let them escape' Miss Macbeth ordered through head gear communication.

'Yes, mam' They replied as they watched us from the air.

We found doors to the outside but there was water near it so we turned back. The goons flashed out and reappeared in different locations as they bolted and shut every exit they find except windows.

Then they appeared next to Macbeth as they watched the plan unfold.

We returned to the others as 5 spirit animals: a cat, a dog, a swan, a fish and a rabbit like Bugs Bunny appeared in front of all of us. Then they passed through every single one of us and vanished at the same time the water rose. Then all of the children who weren't part of I.N.K. fell in.

Macbeth's goons wearing black business suits and sunglasses to look more serious as they vanished from Macbeth's side and changed into sharks as we fell in too.

'Guys, we have classmates to save' I said, as we made a chain to save the other students.

'Trixie, you help your team to save Burt, little Fred, Van and the first half of kids. We'll save Daryl, Kathy, Hector and the other of half of kids' I suggested.

'Roger that' Trixie replied.

'S.U.I.T., it's time to make a barrier!' I yelled in my mind this time.

So we created a barrier by standing/floating side by side as the goon sharks approached us.

'Attack!' I yelled as we charged and fought with all our might as the other children got to saftey.

Macbeth groaned in despair when she saw the children appear unharmed on land again.

Then I.N.K. surrounded her.

'You will NEVER unmask us, so don't bother' Zero said as they knocked her out with a sleep dust and pepper spray.

With only one goon left, I signalled to the others that I could handle this one on my own.

The shark goon knock me out and I became unconscious while unlocking my charm at the same time.

When I woke up, I was back in my dorm room with Trixie, Newton, Zero, Vin and the other S.U.I.T. members looking down on me.

'How did I get here?' I asked in confusion.

'YRDJ helped you defeat the last shark and we brought Macbeth back here while she was also unconscious too' Zoe said.

'We also guided the other students back to school without revealing our identities' Cream added.

'Time to get revenge' Newton said.

So we sneaked into her room while she was unconscious and found her diary.

Then we went back to HQ and read it.

'I enjoyed being Valentine Begonia all this time but the kids are driving me crazy. It's time I find something else to entertain myself. So I left the singing business and found Pinkerton.

Then I applied to be a teacher and I've been there ever since. 30 years now since I quit singing. 30 years' it read. The date was 1998, 30 years ago(roughly).

'Say how did you guys create I.N.K. and how did Macbeth find out about you guys?' Mist asked in curiosity.

'Well, it all started when I was found by Mr Soper at the orphanage and taken to Pinkerton. To begin with, I had no friends; so I tried to raise my game by keeping my hair shiny. Eventually, I became sort of popular; as time went one Trixie, Newton and Zero who ran away from home which was how she ended up here, arrived at Pinkerton. They looked like nice kids, so I approached them in class.

Miss Macbeth, for her first day, began with being strict and gave us lines followed by detentions and chores. Then it hit me. To create an oragnisation to defend the kids of Pinkerton from Miss Macbeth.

'Are you in?' I asked them. 'We're in' They replied. 'But what should we call it?' Zero asked. 'What about the Invisible Network of Kids or I.N.K. for short?' Trixie suggested. 'That's brilliant!' I exclaimed.

Miss Macbeth's first ever scheme was to use a laser pen.

Newton created the bublegum masks and we confronted her.

'Who are you?' She asked.

'We're the Invisble Network of Kids and we won't let you take over our school!' I yelled.

'Invisible Network of Kids, eh? Hmm…' Macbeth mummuerd. She thought for a secound.

'You mean I.N.K.?' She asked as soon as she'd fugered it out.

'Yeah, Attack!' I yelled as we threw itchy powder at her and destoryed the pen.

Then we dashed away and uncovered the attic while everyone had been asleep.

From that moment on, we were set to defeat all of Macbeth's schemes and protect Pinkerton!' Vin explained.

'Let's turn in' Netwon said.

'what do you want to turn into?' I asked.

Everyone stared at me blankly.

'What? It was a Animaniacs reference I couldn't resist' I said.

Then while we were asleep, Miss Macbeth had awake in her basement HQ and sat up as she watched the gardener monitor the 'turn the real world into cartoon' scheme comense.

She laughed eviliy.

'I.N.K. and S.U.I.T. don't know what hit them now!' She yelled as she pressed a red button and kangaroo robots went into certain rooms like Newton, Trixie, Zero, Vin along with me and the rest of S.U.I.T. by a random choice. They went in and kidnapped us in our sleep.

'Hey, Zero. I love you' Vin moaned, sleepily. 'I love you too' Zero moaned back then they both woke up. 'Huh?!' They yelled as they blushed at each other and then looked around.

'Guys, we're not in Pinkerton anymore' Vin said as they woke us all up.

We were all standing in a virtual reality jungle that Macbeth with help from the gardener had created.

'Guys, we're gonna need major help now' Trixie said, worriedly.

'We're doomed!' I screamed.

'I've got you right where I want you now!' Macbeth's voice said above us.
