Bet yah thought I was gone for good huh? I'm depressed now. I tried updating but I had this report given to me by my science teacher. At first I said, "Okay, I'll get this over with and get back to writing." However, a few days later, when I turned it in he gave us another one right off the back. 4 reports later I was able to find time to at least start on this next chapter. I doubt many of you are still reading this but I did get a review from someone stating they were tired of waiting. I didn't want to disappoint any longer so here it is.
Chapter 21: Red Generator, Black Magic
"Wow! This place is really dirty." stated the astonished two-tailed fox as he circled the incredibly small abode filled with numerous teens and pre-teens.
"Don't dilly dally! We're almost to the brain scan and I.Q testing room." Scorch said impatiently as they all hurried down the hall.
Many of the hideout's residents were walking cautiously behind. Their weapons were at their sides and ready for quick use. For if the brain scan proved they we on Combustion's side no one would hesitate to kill them mercilessly.
Sonic seemed unfazed by their expected reaction to new roaming city folk arriving from out of the blue. He continued acting the way he always does; cool, calm, and collected.
Scorch saw his amazingly comforted body movement and raised an eyebrow. Something was just weird about this hedgehog to him.
"We're here." Announced Citrus as they made their way into a broken and run down yet still active high tech computer and technology center. Sonic and Tails looked all across the room in pure astonishment.
"WOOOOOOW! It's so big…and…mechanical!" Tails said as his eyes gleamed at the sparking wires and cracked glass on the barely functioning computer monitors. Tails had always had a certain unexplained liking for this stuff. He saw some guy on something called a T.V back at Westside Island talking about computers. It was cool! Tails, however, didn't have time to finish watching it because the family whose house he broke into to steal food came back and he needed to slip away undetected.
"I bet you're in geek heaven, eh Tails?" Sonic asked. Tails' eyes gleamed even brighter as he turned to face the hedgehog and reply.
"ALL THIS IS AMAZING SONIC! CAN I HAVE ONE OF THEM!?" Tails asked completely ecstatic. Sonic's sweat dropped.
"Well…maybe…if the cops stop chasing me you can." As soon as the hedgehog said that everyone turned to him in a bit of confusion and suspicion. Sonic and Tails immediately knew why they were starring at them so menacingly.
"NO! It's not what you think!" Tails said.
"Like it matters. We're only interested in whether or not you're working with Combustion or not. Nothing else concerns us." Scorch said pulling the lever of the brain scan machine that was sitting in the center of the room.
Everyone in the group calmed down and hurriedly agreed with Scorch. Both Sonic and Tails blew sighs of relief.
The brain scan machine opened up its front compartment to reveal two seats. Both seats were constructed of torn leather and had a sparking helmet attached to a pivoting bar, which suspended the helmet over the seat.
Sonic and Tails were a bit unsure about what they were suppose to do. The machine looked a bit complicated and dangerous at that.
"Well! Hurry up and sit down!" Scorch shouted. The hedgehog and fox did as they were told. Citrus, who was at the control panel, pulled another lever, which caused the helmets to lower on the two slightly frightened mammals. Once that was accomplished Citrus walked in front of them both and began explaining.
"Okay, listen up." He said with a reassuring smile on his face. "There is nothing to be worried about. This machine may look old but, trust me, it does work." The ferret explained. Sonic and Tails looked at each other a little unsure but they nodded in agreement. Citrus pressed a green button, which started up the machine, which caused more sparks to rain over the helmet.
"S-S-S-S-Sonic? W-what's happening?" Tails asked as the electric volts searched his brain.
"I'm not sure buddy…I'm kind of worried too." Admitted the blue blur.
"Don't be. Just relax." Stated Citrus. Scorch just stood there a bit eager to see the results. Eventually the machine admitted out a huge 'ding', which signaled that the test was a success.
"Okay now lets see how you did." Scorch said looking up at the monitor. Everyone held their weapons tightly in their hands and awaited the results. Both Sonic and Tails gulped at the sight of the numbers going across the screen. Eventually the machine stopped and the results were in.
"…APPROVED!" Blinked the machine. Everyone relaxed and loosened their hold on their weapons. Sonic and Tails both made a deep sigh. Sonic at first thought it would be no big deal but the realization of the situation was finally beginning to sink in. They were basically trapped.
In the palace on Magma Mill
Combustion Fire was playing chess with his employee looking extremely bored. He kept those damn guard robots out all the time yet there still was no sign of those pre-teen and teenage runaways.
"That's check mate sir." Stated the employee. Combustion stared at the board that at his servant. He then lifted his hand and shot a fireball at the man's face. It hit directly and caused him to fall out of his seat rolling on the ground in tremendous pain.
"AHHHH! MY EYES! MY FACE!" He shouted as his body began to burn. Combustion merely yarned.
"This is incredibly boring…what?" Combustion was beginning to get a signal from one of his guards as shown on his monitor. A big red dot was headed for his tornado drop out area. "OHHHH! ANOTHER VICTIM! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Meanwhile
"Now here's another one Big." Rouge cleared her throat. "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Rouge asked.
"About 74 pounds." Big said reading the 'Everything about Everything book.'
"Wow! Really? I thought it would be more than that." Rouge said surprised.
"ROUGE! BIG! We're experiencing some turbulence! Where are you guys!?" Smoke shouted into his communicator from a distance. Rouge picked up her walkie-talkie and quickly answered.
"We're a little bit behind you guys. What are you talking about? What turbulence?" Rouge screamed into the communicator.
"LOOK!" Shouted the plump cat next to her. Rouge looked up at the sky and saw a huge tornado fall from the sky and into the extremely confused and large amount of G.U.N soldiers. It began sucking everyone up in sight…and it was headed straight for them!
"Quickly! We need to turn around!" Shouted Rouge. Despite their intention to move, when she grabbed at the controls they wouldn't budge. "WHAT! What's this!?" Rouge shouted in frustration and she began to grind her teeth at the machinery's lack of response to her pleas. The tornado seemed like it was moving closer, however, in reality, they were moving closer to it!
"We're headed straight for it!" Big shouted trying to help the bat out. The now scared frog immediately hopped in the back seat as a pathetic means to hide from the danger.
"Great! Now what do we do?" Rouge said as they were starting to ascend into the tornado.
"What can we do?" Big asked.
"We can put our hands on our heads and duck." Rouge suggested.
"…"
"Hey it's worth a try." She stated before they were just shot straight into the tornado like a speck of dirt that has just fallen victim to an extremely powerful vacuum cleaner.
Back in Magma Palace
"That's the second visit we've had today. GAURDS! GO OUT AND BLOW THE ENTIRE BASE CAMP!" Shouted the angry fire themed half-robot.
"But sir! That's, like, ¼ of out entire island! Our other guards might still be out there!" Reminded the guard.
"…Oh I get it…your saying the pathetic and underhanded guard's life is more important than a direct order from me!" Combustion yelled.
"WHAT! NO SIR! I JUST…!" Started the terrified guard.
"OH SO NOW YOU'RE CALLING ME A LIER!" Combustion didn't even wait for an answer before he carried out his next coarse of action. "It seems your starting to get a little hot headed…literally."
All of a sudden the guard's head felt like there was literally a fire lit on his brain…AND THERE WAS! The guard screamed at the ceiling as he clawed at his noggin, however, it was all in vain. Eventually the top of the man's head blew open and he fell the ground, dead.
"Now! The rest of you I want you to power up my black magic mind shuffler in order to get the red generator up and running! That should be the easiest way to dispose of these freaks… and drive out the resistance as well…WELL! What are you waiting for? Get to it!" He shouted which drove every single guard out of the room.
Back with the resistance
"Okay, it's time for the I.Q test. This test will prove whether or not you can be of some use to us in the heat of battle and in the field of strategy." Stated Citrus.
"Sounds cool." Sonic said as they approached the weird looking machine and stood on the black platform. A green ray shot out from the top of the machine and scanned Sonic's brain.
"Let me take a minute to explain the I.Q numbers scale: (Author's note: These are REAL I.Q numbers with accurate explanations. I looked them all up.)
An I.Q of 0-84 is a Below Average score obtained by people in elementary school or lower
An I.Q of 85-114 is an Average score and is usually obtained by people at junior high school
An I.Q of 115-124 is an Above Average score and is usually obtained by people at senior high school.
An I.Q of 125-134 is a Gifted score and is usually obtained by College University Graduates.
An I.Q of 135-144 is a Highly Gifted score and is usually obtained by Intellectuals.
An I.Q of 145-154 is a Genius score and is usually obtained by Professors.
An I.Q of 155-164 is a Genius score and is usually obtained by Nobel Prize Winners.
An I.Q of 165-179 is a High Genius score obtained by Einstein.
An I.Q of 180-200 is the Highest Genius score ever recorded.
An I.Q of 201+ is an immeasurable genius.
"Sorry that took so long…but it looks like it killed time. Sonic's results are in." Citrus said as he looked at the monitor for Sonic's eleven-year-old I.Q score.
The screen flashed: …83.
"AN 83! WOW! You're only eleven, right!"
"Yeah, but that score is pretty much gonna be that way the rest of my life. It's not like I go to school or anything. Scorch made a 'piff' in the background.
It was now Tails' turn. The little fox was scared but never the less as Sonic stepped off he made his way up to the machine. Before he could step on, however, Scorch stood in his way.
"Scorch? What are you doing?" Asked Citrus.
"Let's just stop this. This kid can't be of any use to us. There is no way he'll score higher then a 40 on that thing." Scorch said out loud. Everyone started to nod in agreement.
"Yeah, he's right." Stated someone in the back.
"Forget about him."
"This is a waste of time anyway. None of these two weirdoes are going to be of any use to us anyway."
"Everybody SHUT UP!" Sonic yelled. Everyone turned to him. "Let the little guy have his chance, alright. You might even be surprised." Sonic smirked.
"I seriously doubt that." Scorch said getting out of Tails' way. Tails felt a little sad again. This is just the way everyone thought of him back on Westside Island. He was merely a worthless nuisance to them. Tails didn't like being reminded of the horror of that place. The little fox stepped on the black platform and let the machine scan his mind.
Everyone waited in silence as the machine started blaring out flashing colors. Sonic starred confidently at the monitor awaiting the surprised looks on their faces when they saw the score. This is the same fox who fixed up his bi-plane at the age of four! He was getting a higher score than anyone in this room and Sonic knew it.
Tails however didn't think he'd do so well. Ever since he was born he had always underestimated himself and his abilities. Too him it would take a miracle for him to get a high score.
'There's no way this brat's getting a score over 40; 45 tops.' Scorch was sure of it.
'This should turn out to be quite interesting." Stated Citrus as he watched the flashing come to a stand still. The numbers then appeared on the screen. Everyone, including Sonic's jaw dropped. Tails looked up at it and almost choked on his own saliva!
"No…way…" Someone stated in the back.
"That's higher than Citrus' score…"
"Impossible!"
"That can't be right!" Scorch yelled. "The machine must be broken or something!" Scorch stared at the score while his eye twitched frustratingly.
The screen flashed…136
"Awesome job Tails!" Sonic said congratulating his friend by giving him a noogie. Tails chuckled and squirmed around a bit at this. Everyone continued to stare blankly at them.
'W-who are they?' Scorch asked in his head.
"Amazing score!" Citrus said snapping out of his trance. "Terrific score! Higher than anyone on this island has ever gotten!" He said while clapping his hands. Everyone immediately regained control of their senses and took as step forward.
"I don't understand. How…could he have gotten…that's…that's an intellectual score. This kid is highly gifted!" Scorch said. Tails smiled at the praise he was getting.
"Oh yeah! If he's so smart let's see him fix the 'Omicron panel'!" Some girl shouted in the back. Everyone gasped and turned to her.
"What? What's that?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, I've never heard of it." Sonic said.
"Of coarse you haven't. The Omicron panel is a device that comes in two parts: a chip that contains a virus, and a panel that supplied an unlimited amount of energy. It's been deactivated for some time now, however, if it wasn't we'd be able to defeat Combustion very easily and be free of his grasp." Citrus explained.
"So why not just fix it?" Sonic asked.
"Because it's one of the many items here that is shrouded in black magic. Like all items that are shrouded in black magic on this island, there is a certain rule or restriction that must be presented to the item in order for the black magic seal to disappear. This one requires a person of the correct I.Q to re-activate it. We tried using someone from our group to fix it but the magic of the device rejected him because of his I.Q and thus he was killed on the spot."
"Wh-what!" Tails freaked out.
"That device wants a person with an acceptable I.Q. If you try to fix it and you don't have a high enough I.Q the thing kills you. Combustion uses black magic all the time; he has a huge mind shuffler in the generator room that controls all the black magic at his disposal. When he saw that we had a device like this he immediately cast a spell on it and turned it into a tool of evil." Citrus concluded.
"I don't know if he's the one though." Scorch stated.
"I'm thinking he'll be enough. Combustion thinks were all idiots. He probably set the bar at college level. Us being pre-teens and teens we couldn't be accepted. However, we're just average people and he's not." Citrus said pointed to the fox.
"What do you think Tails?" Sonic asked the very terrified fox.
"…Ummmm…is there anyway I won't die if I don't have a high enough I.Q." Tails asked.
"I'm pretty sure you do." Citrus reassured.
"But what if I don't?"
"Tails, you've got to learn to believe in yourself buddy. You're smarter than anyone on this entire island and your doubting yourself? Come on buddy I know you can do this." Sonic said.
"Well…I…ummm…o-okay…I guess…" said the still unsure fox. "Where is it?" Tails asked.
Later
Everyone stood around the fox and stared at him while he sat in the middle of the chamber room. Tails eyed the piece of machinery in front of him. It was just as Citrus had explained. It was a big panel with a small chip attached to it. Tails didn't see how it was cursed though. It looked like a regular piece of equipment to him.
"Go ahead and try Tails." Citrus said looking rather confident. Tails looked up at him then at Sonic who gave him his traditional wink and thumbs up.
"…'Gulp' Okay I think I'm ready…I think…" Tails began to pick it up but as soon as he did the panel turned into a black color and a huge dark aurora filled the room. Everyone was scared but they held their ground.
"Come on you can do it buddy." Sonic said.
"I...I'll try…" Tails began screwing in parts and fixing the panel up easily. With each tightened bolt the dark flash grew brighter. Every screw he screwed on caused the I.Q level the machine wanted to rise. If Tails could finish it while exceeding the limit than they'd be home free.
"Come on kid." Scorch said out loud.
There was only one blot left. If Tails could sink this one in it'd be fixed for good.. The fox picked up the screw and slowly slipped it into the panel shrouded in darkness. He then picked up his screwdriver and began screwing it in. Everyone's sweat dropped as they waited. Only a few more twists to go…three…two…one…
"…D-did I do it right?" Tails asked. Suddenly the panel made a loud beast like roar. The unexpected sound effect startled the young fox to no end. Just then the shade of darkness rose out of the panel and circled around the scared fox. "What's happening!?" Tails shouted in fear. The black aurora surrounded him for a few minutes before dissipating.
"WHOO HOOO! Tails! You totally did it!" Sonic shouted with overwhelming excitement. It wasn't before long that everybody cheered. Citrus and Sonic immediately ran up to the fox and began praising him.
"You really are somethin' else kid." Citrus said amazed yet again. Tails blushed as a reaction. Suddenly everyone hauled the little fox up and began chanting his name while heading out the door. Tails was so excited. They were cheering for him! They think he's actually good at something. They all left the room leaving Citrus and Scorch to themselves.
"Don't you think we should save the cheering for later? After all we still need to implant the ship into Combustion's generator. Since that's considered being a suicide mission I might want to go by myself." Scorch stated.
"Yeah right. We're going together…actually let's take half of the group with us and the other half can stay her and install the panel to our base. That way our large supply of weaponry can be functional again." Citrus suggested.
"Do you honestly think that many people is necessary? A lot of lives are at stake you know."
"Listen Scorch, you can't do this alone. You're not the only one who wants to get even with Combustion you know." Citrus said following the group. Scorch stood there before agreeing and heading off.
An hour later
Sonic, Tails, and the others sat preparing a plan to infiltrate Combustion's generator room. The plan was too be carried out as follows:
Sonic and half of the group remain at the safe house in order to patch things up and prepare the weaponry.
Meanwhile Tails, Scorch, and Citrus head out to the field to locate the Red generator hut.
Once there they will search for the mind shuffler, the source of Combustion's black magic power.
Tails will implant the chip on the pipe connecting the mind shuffler and the generator.
The chip will send a virus through the generator and cause all of Combustion's security weaponry to malfunction.
Most likely, Combustion will send his top men to investigate sine he never plays around when it comes to his ultimate power source.
Meanwhile Sonic and 1/3 of the group will reconfigure every one of Combustion's laser and missile security so it only locks on the generator hut.
The rest of the group will storm the palace and make it clear to Combustion that there is an attack taking place.
He will call back his guards, which is when Tails, Scorch, and Citrus escape and inform Sonic to activate the lasers.
Once activated the lasers will fire at the generator hut destroying not only the generator but killing the guards and obliterating the mind shuffler.
Now that Combustion has no defense they will use there beefed up weaponry too easily take him and his weaker guards down.
It seemed full proof except for one factor they didn't see coming…
"Hey Smoke, I think I see the palace over there." Rouge said pointing toward the unmistakable red palace.
"I see…so where is this generator I've heard so much about from the reports of this place." SmokeStack started searching the area for any sign of the generator. It wasn't long before he spotted it, the generator's hut. "Now I can find my chaos emerald."
"What about me?" Rouge asked from behind.
"No one gives a daman, bitch." Smoke said harshly and walked away.
"Well!" Rouge said annoyed.
"Well what?" Big asked still comforting his pet frog.
Meanwhile the plan was being put to action. Sonic and the smartest kids there stayed and began powering the entire underground base loaded with previously deactivated yet very destructive weapons.
Tails, Scorch, Citrus, and the rest of the group headed out to the field and didn't waste time taking on the weaker guards that contained no black magic power. While the rest of the kids were fighting Tails, Scorch, and Citrus snuck into the generator hut's compartment.
"Okay we're inside…now what?" Tails asked.
"Put the chip on the pipe that connects the generator and the mind shuffler!" Scolded Scorch.
"Oh! Right!" Tails looked up in front of him and eyed the huge red generator. The fox examined it's clearly superior metal alloyed and began having fantasies of himself building something really big like this. He could see it now, it would be a huge ship that can travel into space and he'd call it…the Blue Typhoon. That's a nice name.
"YO! Tails! Put the damn chip onto the freakin' pipe and lets get the hell out of here!" Scorch yelled.
"Hey! Whose there!" Shouted a voice coming from the top of the generator. Scorch, Tails, and Citrus looked up and saw a very irritated looking many…who looked like he had puffs of smoke in his hands. As soon as Tails saw the man he immediately hid behind the mind shuffler.
'Why does that man keep following me everywhere?' Tails asked in his head.
"Just who the hell are you?" Scorch shouted.
"I'm Commander SmokeStack! What are you doing here!" Smoke shouted a bit irritated.
"Like we're going to tell you!"
"Um, Scorch, I think you're getting him mad." Citrus warned. All of a sudden Smoke extended his open palm.
"Fine! Then since none of you are of any use to me, YOU WILL DIE!" He shouted while shouted a blast of smoke at Scorch. The raccoon easily dodged the attack and extended his claws. They immediately lit up with a golden glow.
"TAKE THIS!" Scorch said lashing out at the foggy man. Smoke shot up in the air and flew around and past the raccoon. Scorch honestly didn't see that coming and didn't have time to react before a huge brown boot connected with his back. Scorch hit the generator with a thud but quickly fumbled to his feet when he saw Smoke jetting straight for him.
"Hey Tails, is the thing attached yet." Citrus asked sneaking behind the shuffler.
"Almost." Said the fox that was still screwing the thing on. "There!" Tails said telling Citrus that he was done. Citrus immediately took out his walkie-talkie and spoke into it.
"Okay Sonic, activate the lasers. The guards should be heading here in about a minute." Citrus stated.
'Okay! Executing command right now!' Sonic answered.
At the weaponry border
"Okay everyone the lasers are set." Sonic said typing the last code into the huge weapon. "Now time for my favorite part…LET'S BUM RUSH THE PALACE!" Sonic said raising his fist.
Everyone cheered in excitement and rage as they all turned and headed toward Combustion's palace with Sonic leading the way.
Back in the generator hut
"Okay guys I've told Sonic to fire the lasers. We just need to wait for the guards to show up which will be in three…two…one…"
Suddenly the door to the hut burst open and many tough looking thugs walked in. Tails and Citrus saw them enter and tried to escape out the back.
"Pissssst! Scorch!" Tails called. Scorch was busy dodging every gust of smoke chugged straight at him when he heard Tails call out to him. "Come on Scorch, the guards are here." Tails said as he crept to the small opening in the back. Scorch smiled and turned towards Smoke.
"Sorry I couldn't stay longer but I have to leave."
"You actually think you and those two squirts behind there are leaving! HA! Think again." Smoke smirked.
"W-what? How'd you…" Scorch started before he was hit with a huge blast of smoke that shot him straight at the steel platforming in the room. The platform literally broke apart from its hinges and fell like a rock toward the ground.
"I almost got it open T-" Citrus began while he was trying to unscrew the back opening when a huge steel platform crashed landed on top of him. This automatically scared the fox to the point of screaming out loud in tremendous fear. Smoke was holding Scorch against the wall by his neck when he heard a familiar voice scream. Smoke let go of the raccoon and turned to his real target.
"There he is!" Smoke said as he flew straight for him. Before he connected however a huge flamethrower was shot at him. Smoke stopped in his tracks and turned to see many huge thugs glaring at him. Tails noticed Smoke and the guards immediately and quickly turned to Scorch for support. However, Scorch was lying on the ground unconscious so he couldn't help. Tails would've grabbed his friends and escaped out the back but it was being blocked by a few pounds of steel.
"What do you idiots want?" Smoke asked in the most irritated voice ever.
"What!" Shouted one guard.
"We are the strongest of King Combustion's flaming soldiers. Bow to us nave!" Another one shouted.
"Ugh. Hearing your chowdery voices makes me want to claw my own eyes out. Get the hell out of here!"
"Hell no!" The third one shouted as they all began to blast at SmokeStack. He started to fly across the room, easily dodging their misguided excuse for an assault.
While Tails watched them fight he turned to the steel on the ground and tried lifting it. It was no use. Citrus would die if this stayed on him any longer. The fox grew even more worried when he saw blood trickle out from the bottom. The fox desperately tried lifting it but it wouldn't work.
'Oh great! Now what do I do? Those lasers are gonna destroy all three of us if we can't get out of here.' Tails said worriedly. He had to think. He just recently discovered that his I.Q excelled past 100! He had to think of something. If he didn't his friends would die!
That's when the fox was struck by inspiration. He quickly twirled his tails and flew up into the balcony and landed on a platform overhead Smoke and the flame themed guards.
"HEY! SMOKE MAN! I'M OVER HERE!" Tails shouted loud enough for everyone to hear. Smoke turned to the fox and growled.
"Why you…" Smoke stopped abruptly to dodge the incoming flames. The flames hit the platform Tails was standing on and melted through. The platform fell and landed on the edge of the other platform blocking the door. It hit so hard that the blockage was bent out of shape, which made his ferret friend visible again. Tails quickly flew down and took him from under the platform and tried to shake him awake.
"Stand aside fox." Came a voice from behind. Tails turned and saw Scorch approach him while holding his arm.
"Scorch?" Tails did as he was told and watched the raccoon step up to the still unscrewed opening. He raised back his now glowing claws and slashed the opening apart. Tails watched in pure awe as the reinforced steel completely broke apart and fell to the ground.
"Shall we leave…buddy." Scorch smiled at Tails for the first time. Tails smiled broadly as the three friends slipped out the back. Scorch took Citrus from Tails and carried him in his arms.
"Is he going to be okay?" The fox asked.
"Oh trust me, he'll be just fine." Scorch answered as he looked at his watch. They were sure lucky to have gotten out of there just 10 seconds away from the blast.
Smoke was trying to focus on searching for the fox but he couldn't see him anywhere with these idiots shooting random blasts at him.
"Come down here and fight us like a real man!" Another guard said. It was right about then when Smoke sensed millions ultraviolet rays heading this way.
"Sorry but I can't stay any longer. It has occurred to me that there is no chaos emerald in here." Smoke shot a blast of smoke at the door, which quickly surrounded it. The smoke induced commander then poofed his way out of there in a flash.
"Where'd he go?" asked one of the guards.
"I don't know. Let's report back to Combustion and tell him what happened here." Said the leader. They all nodded in agreement and walked toward the smoking door. One of them tried to grab it but the smoke repelled the man's hand.
"What's wrong?" asked another guard.
"I don't know! It won't let me grab the doorknob!" Suddenly many huge laser beams crashed through the roof and shot at the generator.
"AHHHHHHHH!" The all yelled in unison knowing exactly what was going to happen.
In Combustion's thrown room
"What's going on? Why aren't those fools back yet?" Combustion tapped his fingers on his desk impatiently when all of a sudden a huge turbulence shook the palace. "What the hell was that?" he asked when suddenly a solider walked in with horrid news.
"Sir…um…I think the mind shuffler just exploded." The guard said while stuttering.
"WHAT!"
I know it's a really long chapter but hey it's been a really long time since I've updated. I last updated back in January right? Again I'm sorry but I'm finally getting a break from my schoolwork so the updates should be much more frequent. I just hope there are still people reading this. Well I'll see.
