Chapter 13: Decision Time
"So… what do you think? Should Sam join us?" Chris asked. The three were currently in the clubhouse. Chris sat in the blue chair; Cathy laid down on the moving blue and white platform and Danny stood up.
"Hmmm… maybe." Danny said.
"Hey!" Cathy suddenly said, shooting straight up. "Why don't we look at the videos where Sam helps us defeating aliens?"
"Alright." Chris agreed.
"Get to it, blue-guy." Danny smirked as Chris glared.
"Shut up, Spikey!" Chris shot back as Danny glared while Cathy rolled her eyes, sighing.
Chris swung towards the big computer as he typed and pretty soon, bunch of different videos included Sam popped up along with the MBC; Chris let it roll.
"Oh! There's the one where we first met her!" Cathy exclaimed as Danny peered at it.
"Aww, not that one!" Danny groaned.
"Danny has a crush on that girl!" She squealed loudly and excitedly.
"I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON HER!" Danny yelled.
"Uhh…" Cathy said, sheepishly.
"Then, why. Are. You. So. Compet- ARGH! Give me a second!" The girl yelled as she jumped in the air, doing a somersault. With her two feet, she struck the alien into its ugly face. She went over it then landed on one of her feet (with the leg bend) while the other leg was on her knee. The alien soon fell unconsciousness, creating dust as it fell and Danny looked at it.
"Then, why are you so competitive?" She asked, getting up as the hands were on her hips.
"Uhh… because I don't like to lose! Especially, against a girl like you! You seem weak to me, despite that you seem stronger to others." Danny concluded.
Her mouth was opened as she was speechless… speechless but angry.
"I seem weak to you? I just knocked down the thing and you decided to call me weak!" She yelled."Well, I will tell you something, you sad excuse for a hero! I am a black belt in Karate! I can kick your ass any day!" Shy shouted.
"So, why didn't you do it now?" Danny asked while yelling. Just then, he suddenly fell down to the ground, giving Cathy and Chris another heart attack. Then, the two looked at the girl who was steaming. Literally.
"You happy now?" She growled, dangerously as Danny groaned. And then, she stormed off. She was about to storm off until the alien came to the consciousness state. However, the alien suddenly flew back as it crashed into a tree, sliding down in pain.
Cathy laughed at the scene as Danny growled.
"Everything what you two do ends up with you two being so competitive!" Chris said.
"Not true!" Danny protested.
"There's that one!" Cathy stated.
The two racers took off and they were neck to neck. However, Sam started to fall a bit behind then she got ahead of Danny, making him to be a bit behind. They saw the hurdles in view as it came close. Sam made no mistakes but at the last one, Danny tripped on the last hurdle.
Instead of falling flat in the face (which Sam wish he did), Danny used his one hand so that the palm was on the ground and he did a handstand. He then, somersaulted in the air while Sam saw the whole thing.
Up next, was the sand jump. Danny was running at full speed and then he started to see the white line. He jumped, and soon landed on the sand so that dust came.
"Ha! 5.0!" Danny cheered as he saw the board saying that his jump was 5.0.
"Well, I'm going to do better than that!" Sam yelled, causing Danny to turn his head and saw her running then jumped. As she jumped, she was above Danny (who was at the same spot) and at the same time, he looked up; his eyes following her movements.
Sam made a grunt when she landed.
"Ah ha!" Sam yelled, making Danny to growl once he saw the red numbers on the board which was 6.5.
"You were just lucky!" Danny replied, angrily. He took off and was soon followed by Sam.
What they saw ahead of them were two ropes, hanging above the medium-size square pool of mud. They made a took off once they were at the edge of the ground. Sam caught it with one arm and then she stood still; Danny too grabbed it with one arm. However, he had miscalculated because he grabbed air instead of the rope even though he had missed it by inches.
Danny waved his arms as he was facing the mud while falling. At the last minute, he grabbed the rope with one arm (which was almost close to the end of the rope) and then he started to swing in a full one circle until he saw Sam who was still swinging back and forth.
At the same time, they both let go of the rope when the time was right then landed on the ground. But the landing wasn't so successful.
When Sam came close to the ground, she did a somersault then rolled. Danny was at the edge of the mud, waving his arms frantically, trying to have his balance back. Unfortunately, he fell into the mud, all covered, leaving Sam to laugh.
"Haha! Danny lost her balance!" Sam laughed, taking off.
Danny growled. "I'm not a GIRL! And I'm going to win this!"
"In your dreams!" Sam called out. This made Danny to be mad as he took off; this time with full speed. Pretty soon, the racers were neck to neck once again. However, Sam fell behind and they saw another rope, indicating that they were almost at the finish line.
"Anyways… I thought we were looking at the videos where Sam helps us defeating the aliens?" Danny reminded them. "Besides, how did you even managed to get that clip!"
Chris smirked. "I'm a techno guy. I have my ways."
"Click on that one." Danny said.
"Uhh hurry up! The alien is coming this way!" Danny responded as Sam got up. But it's too late as the alien jumped in the room as Cathy took out her Double X, blasting at the alien. But it dodged it, making the blue streak to hit the closest. The alien then blocked the door.
"Too late puny humans!" Danny and Cathy both had their eyes wide as they saw that its weapon formed in a ball of crackling white energy.
"Wanna bet?" Before it could fire it, the alien suddenly flew to the side of the wall, being unconsciousness.
"Hmm… so she can be stubborn and all but I think she will make a great MBC member!" Cathy said, excitedly.
"She does have quick movements." Chris stated.
"She's fast." Danny said.
"That's the same thing!" Chris responded.
"I know! Why don't we wait until there's an alien attack? Then, we will know for sure!" Cathy suggested, interrupting Danny before he could argue back; he glared at her.
"That sounds fair, alright, let's do it." Chris agreed.
-School, outside-
Danny went sideways on his skateboard and he saw the benches that were coming ahead as he also saw Chris and Cathy under a tree. Once he came close to it, he made a leap and he as on the bench until-
"Danny." The voice caught him off ground and the front deck of his skateboard tilted forward (due to the splinter that was on the bench), making him to fly forward, crashing down to the ground; Chris and Cathy winced.
Danny groaned in pain while rubbing his head as he sit up straight. He then looked to see Sam who was holding bunch of books.
"Sam?" He questioned.
"Principal Rawlins wants you in her office." Sam responded.
"For what?"
Sam gave him a look and he immediately caught on.
"Fine; see you guys later." Danny got up and he stepped on the back deck of his skateboard, making it to twirl in the air and he caught it.
"What did he do this time?" Cathy quizzed.
"I don't know; but will it hurt him to have a clean record?" Sam asked.
"Good question, good question." Chris replied.
-Rawlins's Office, minutes passed-
"Well, I guess it's over then." Danny announced while handing his detention papers to her but he saw Rawlins with her back, facing him.
"Put them on the desk."
He did as he was told to and as he walked up, the door slammed shut. "Uhh…"
"I'm afraid I can't let you leave yet."
"But-"Before Danny could react, a sudden glow surrounded Rawlins and soon the glow vanished. He gasped as an alien that had the body of a snake and the eyes were all over the place. The alien lunged forward, bringing its claw to Danny…
-Outside-
"Oh; how's your arm, Chris?" Sam asked.
"It's getting better." Beeps were heard and Chris took out his V-com. Besides, there's no point from hiding it in front of Sam; she already knows.
"Hmm… alien attack." Chris said, taking out the map. "It's in the school." And they rushed off…
-Office-
Danny struggled to get free from the grasp of the alien but it was too tight.
"Grr… get off of me you creep!" Danny said, kicking his legs to get free.
"I don't think so." The alien responded in a hoarse, deep snake-like voice. "You have something what I want. To do this less painfully, just look into my eyes."
"And what happens if I don't want to look into your ugly face?" Danny asked. As a response, the alien sent dark blue electric currents through his hand and Danny made a yelp. A faint red glow surrounded him as the alien's eyes started to glow red and flashes of images of Danny in the red MBC suit flashed in a hyper speed. Even though, the glow was surrounding Danny, he still tried to get free.
A loud noise came as the door got blasted open, revealing smoke. A streak came and something shot towards the alien but he deflected it, by using his free arm to smack it down; its eyes were still glowing red.
"Let's bust them!" A strong voice shouted, jumping out of the smoke who then landed, and was soon followed by the other two.
"Hey… why's Danny glowing like that?" Sam asked as she noticed that Danny was glowing red. Cathy looked at him and gasped.
"Oh no, oh no! This is bad!" Cathy exclaimed, panicking. "That glow is transferring to that alien all the information about Danny! Including the MBC." Chris gasped.
"Oh no!"
"Well, we got to stop it!" Sam said before jumping in the air.
"Oh, did I mention that the alien has even more access to Danny?" Cathy said.
"He has what?" Sam exclaimed (who was still in the air but stopped), falling to the ground but the alien grabbed her ankle and she was flunged, being crashed into the wall.
"That's right, puny humans." The alien replied, still holding a very weak Danny. Sam struggled to get up and then she ran. She jumped in the air as her leg was straight and this made the alien to turn around to face her but the alien got smacked in the face, stumbling backwards and had released Danny who fell to the ground.
"Danny…" Cathy quickly rushed towards him. But she quickly became furious, evolving her blaster to the Double X, shooting at the alien who dodged this way and that.
"He looks like a prima ballerina." A weak voice was heard and the three rushed over to him.
"Danny…" Sam began.
"W-what happened?" Danny asked, sitting up straight.
"Well… you were glowing, a red one and that glow was being transferred to that alien, allowing him to have even more information about you." Chris answered, earning a confused look.
"… English?"
"Other words; that alien have more access to you." Chris clarified.
Danny growled. "That also means he knows that I'm part of the MBC member."
"Not anymore. The commander took you off the team." The alien spoke.
Danny growled as he got up quickly but as he did, he felt weak and stumbled back a bit while Sam put her arms out so that she could catch him in case he fell.
"You're still weak." Chris said.
"I don't care! I'm going to get rid of that alien!" Danny replied, sternly as he grabbed Chris's blaster that was now Double X and began to shoot at the alien. Pretty soon, Sam joined him and she saw just in time to see Chris's Double X being knocked out of Danny's hand so that flew through the air.
Danny saw Sam who nodded as he automatically knew what she planned to do. The two rushed at the alien who brought its hand but before it could react, Sam and Danny punched it straight into its face. Sam then swung her leg so that it will fall as blue streaks from Cathy's Double X rushed towards the alien. The alien was too preoccupied to even see the blue streaks and this had send him to the wall, being unconsciousness.
Chris who had noticed that his blaster was coming to the ground ran towards it. Before the weapon could hit the ground, he somersaulted, catching it and evolved it into the vacuvator that sucked the alien.
-Clubhouse-
"So?" Chris asked.
"I say yes!" Cathy immediately answered.
"Yes for me." Chris agreed and the last answer was up to Danny and that was when Sam entered the clubhouse.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
Author's Note: Urgh, finally got it done! Hmm… it seems that a lot of aliens target Danny. And that got you my lovely reviewers to wonder why. That answer shall not be revealed until the sequel… or maybe another series… What do you think Danny's answer is?
