Hey everyone! i've got the next chapter up :) Before you ask NO i'm not pairing Kati with Ed, i just thought it would be nice to have them as best friends and Kati being able to trust him more because.. well.. their the same xD
Kati's POV
I was beside Deets, expertly flying with my jetpack. I kept a close on eye on Burn, seeing as he was leader of this team. If I watch where he goes, I most likely wouldn't get lost. Ed hovered under me, and looked up. "I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Ed." He said, holding his hand up.
"Nice to meet you." I said, taking his hand and shaking it. There was a shock when our hands touched, which made me nervous. He withdrew his hand and glanced at it. I bit my lip, we are the same, he could probably tell. But i relaxed when he put his hand down without further question.
"So you new around here?" Ed asked me.
"Sort of." I said.
"Well it'll be great to have an extra member on the team. It's a pleasure." He said with playful eyes. He's only a kid. Why would Bedlam want him? Then i had to remind myself he's no ordinary kid.
Then again, neither am i.
"Thank you." I said to him.
"DNA up ahead!" Burn warned us, and all our attention turned forwards. Ed seemed to give a sneaky smile, then took a sharp turn to the right. "Ed Where the heck are you going?" Burn yelled, but Ed didnt look back.
"Should someone keep an eye on him..?" I asked Deets.
"No. That's his usual thing." Deets giggled, watching where Ed had dissapeared with intrest.
The DNA trucks came into view, and we all sped up. Ed suddenly appeared on the side of the road with the grapling hook, and jumped on the DNA van. "Ed! Stop showing off!" Burn yelled, looking furious.
Ed landed on the top of the van, grabbing something from his side. a blue glowing sword-like thing appeared form the handle, and he pierced it into the van's hood. Suddenly i saw a grappling hook shoot from our side, to the van and i saw Loogie begin to speed forward. "I'll save you Edward!" He yelled in a joking tone.
"Loogie no stay back!" Ed shouted. "Spi-"
The van jolted, making Ed fall over and grab the edge of the van. What was he trying to say?
Fizz had also shot a grappling hook to the van, and began to pick up speed after them. Deets and i exchanged a glance, and then sped up to the van. We got onto the roof with Ed. Burn rolled his eyes and got a grappling hook, also attaching it to the van. "Do you see the package?" Burn yelled to us.
"I see it!" Deets exclaimed, looking in the window of the van cautiously.
I grabbed Ed's hand and hauled him back on the hood of the van. "Thanks." He said. He ran over and took his saber-like thing and cut a hole into the van and jumped inside. I ran to the hole and peered inside with Deets. I saw... weird clones. Wait i've seen these before. I thought. They're for Bedlam. Their always-smiling faces looked up at us.
"Guys stay back! Its Sp-" Suddenly i heard a cry of pain and turned my head to see a metalic arm grab Ed. Spiker! i recognized him from Bedlam's tower. Ed shuffled, trying to free himself from the robot's grip. Bedlam want's me to gain their trust. Here goes! I thought. Deets and i jumped into the van, turning on Spiker, ready to attack him.
Ed's POV
The pain on my neck was tight, causing me to open my mouth to cry out in pain. But his metalic fingers kept on my neck. He's choking me! I heard a bang on the floor like footsteps. DNA? Coming to finish me off? But that was when i noticed flashes of red and pink. Kati and Deets!
DNA were still in the van, and i watched as Deets opened the van door, shoving one of them out. I heard a splat, but the world was becoming a blur around me as i tried to gasp for air. Kati put both her hands together and struck Spiker's chest. To my surprise, he recoiled as if he was in pain. She spun her foot around and kicked him in the face. Then she grabbed his arm. She pulled, and i could see the strain in her arms, but then the world began to go black. I heard another splat as Deets destroyed another DNA, and then heard a crack of metal. And then silence for about 3 seconds. Then i felt the strain on my neck dissapear and i fell on the floor on my side with a thud, banging my shoulder against the chair. My neck hurt, and my shoulders felt heavy and pain-stricken. so i didnt move. I heard clainging metal and then more footsteps, and then i heard a few voices, suddenly realizing the entire dojo was on the van.
"I've got the package!" I heard Fizz yell.
"Let's go!" Burn's commanding voice rose, causing the sound of footsteps to meet my ears. I felt arms on me, and then i was being held. I opened my eyes slightly, and saw Kati. She didnt look down, she was looking forward, watching the others as we evacuated the van. One by one they jumped out on their rides, and then Kati jumped out and up with Deets. I turned my head, grimacing in pain, but i had to watch.
The van spun out of control, spinning across traffic with Spiker laying sprawled on the floor of the van. It vanished off the side of the road.
Kati's face looked down at me "You okay?" She asked, and i opened my mouth to reply, but the words came out in odd sounds.
"Get him back to the dojo. Loogie and I will finish the delivery." I heard Fizz say. I felt Kati's head nod and i felt wind against myself as we picked up speed.
Why did it feel so... the same when i felt Kati? When i felt the others, there was a certain way they felt. but with her, it felt like when i would feel my own skin. Isn't that kind of odd?
I recognized the directions back to the dojo, and i still couldn't talk. No one asked why though, they might think i was embarrassed. Maybe Spiker had damaged my language module, causing me to have trouble speaking. I thought. I felt the stirdiness of the ground when Kati landed, and slowly turned my head to see Burn, and Deets ahead. When we entered, i saw Ol' Skool.
"What did you do this time, Ed?" Ol' Skool asked with a slight eye roll.
"He can't speak." Kati answered for me. How does she know? I mean, no one asked me if i could talk or not.
"Why?" Ol' Skool asked, taking me from Kati and laying me onto the couch in the lounge.
"I dont know." Deets answered.
"Spiker tried to choke him, though." Kati remarked.
"Oh. Hold on then." Ol' Skool leaned over me and pressed my neck a few different directions, causing a few beeps to sound. Deets and Burn looked a little surprised at this procedure, but Kati didnt seem to be shaken by it at all, considering no one had even told her yet that i wasn't a human.
Ol' Skool seemed to realize he had never told Kati either, so he turned to her. "Kati, i hadn't told you yet, but Ed is, well, He's a machine i created." I looked for emotion from Kati, and she gave a surprised face, but to me it looked like it was forced on her face.
"Oh..." She mumbled, but for some reason i could tell she didnt seem as surprised as she looked.
I shrugged it off, maybe she had seen a machine human before.
Ol' Skool worked on my neck until he sat me up, then pressed my neck. After a few more beeps i took one breath in, and one breath out. He removed his fingers from my throat and i felt it, feeling it the same as it had been, but it felt clearer. "Can you speak now?" Ol' Skool asked.
"Yeah. Thanks Ol' Skool." I said thankfully.
"Did you deliver the package?" Ol' Skool asked us just as Fizz and Loogie came into the door.
"All taken care off." Fizz said with a grin.
"So how did Kati do?" Ol' Skool asked with a look at Kati.
"She was great, I think we'll be really good with her on our team now." Deets chimed with a smile.
"She was alright." Burn said with a shrug.
"She was really great, she saved me from Spiker! You must be really strong you know to-"
"Yeah.. i uh... just found a weak spot in his chest. It's no big deal." Kati cut me off, shrugging innocently.
"Alright, all of you go to sleep. Hey Ed will you show Kati to her room." Ol' Skool said, unaware of this. i could feel her emotions somehow, i can feel them stronger than those around me. It was... weird. but i shrugged it off and nodded to Ol' Skool.
"Sure." I said, nodding to Kati.
Kati's POV
I followed Ed down the hallway, passing other doorways. We ended up at a room down the hall where Ed stopped in front of it. "You can sleep in here." He opened the door. All my stuff was in here, my luggage and things. Though I never understood why I needed it. Maybe to me with my cover of having a life before this. I nodded to Ed "Thanks."
He returned the nod politely. "You can make yourself at home, we all have messy rooms full of our own stuff." Ed said to me, as i looked at all my packed up things.
"Good idea." I said softly.
"You don't talk much, do you?" He said, leaning against the doorway.
I shrugged.
"You can trust us you know. When i first joined the team, i didnt know weather to trust them or not."
This got my attention. His joining the team for the first time must be very smiliar of mine, seeing that we are both very different from the others. Maybe hearing this could help me fit in.
"Burn always critisized me, and boy i wasn't happy. And then i went against his orders on a mission because i was ignoring him, and almost got myself killed. But even when i didnt listen they were still there to back me up. That is teamwork."
"You still don't listen." I said with a giggle.
"I never learn do i?" He asked with a small laugh. "Just remember, we are your team. Even if you make a mistake, we'll be here to back you up."
I wish that were true for everything. I thought. One of these days i'll be order to kill you without hesitation. but i cant kill you! you've turned out to be one of my best friends.
But i still have to remind myself.
He is the enemy.
"Thank you Ed. Good night." I said, walking into my room.
"Good night Kati." Ed said, closing the door behind him and walking to his own room.
I crawled onto my bed and put down the sheet covers i had. They were red with my symbol on it. (the symbol looks like this: =O=) I remember hearing Ol' Skool talk about something called "The Caretaker" and calling me the "Uniter." Which confused me. I'm a machine put into this team to destroy Ed from the inside, how am i meant to be the Uniter? Did the Caretaker make a mistake?
My only purpose in life, to kill Ed.
And now, i've found a team that gives my life much more purpose in this world where i don't belong.
But I'm only here to destroy them.
I crawled in my bed, and pulled the covers over my shoulders. Why does Bedlam want Ed to be dead to much? because he's foiled so many of his plans? is Ed standing in the way between him and being ruler? If Bedlam becomes ruler, would i have a place? Or would i be shut down because my mission was complete?
So many questions, and not an answer to any of them. I then decided i wouldn't be shut down after my mission is complete.
Because i will never complete it.
Or do i have a choice? Bedlam told me he had programmed it in me to kill Ed, even if i refuse.
What do i do?
This chapter was sort of fun to make, because Kati is starting to trust them and shes deciding weather to ditch Bedlam. but he is sort of her "father" so it would be really hard. Enjoy!
