Toph
Duncan's the robot. Duncan's the robot! DUNCAN'S THE ROBOT!
How is this possible? Well, he was created by mad-evil scientists, thats how! I look around, everyone was moving on with everything. Sure, Scott was stomping like a five-year-old, but he wasn't saying anything. I took deep breaths. In. Out. In. Out.
I moved forward, very a where of Duncan's movements, and his words. I memorized his voice. When we all had plates and were settled in our seats, there wasn't much talking going around. Storm had fixed stir-fry and it was so great. By the time I had finished my plate, Sokka was on his third.
I took a deep breath and sent an message to the Professor, 'Professor?'
'Yes, Toph?'
'Don't flip out, but, uh, you know the cyborg that Trask was talking about?'
'Yes. . . ?'
'I'm pretty sure, it's Duncan.' I felt Professor stop eating, put his fork down, and take a few deep breaths. Then he sent back to me.
'Are you absolutely sure?'
'Positive, professor. Duncan is the robot.'
Professor addressed the table then, "Good evening, students. Duncan." Duncan nodded in response. "But I must make a call, so if you all could excuse me." the Professor wheeled out of the room.
The conversations started up again, but I didn't listen to them. Professor had wheeled himself into his study, and all I hoped was that men clad in ninja suits wouldn't come busting through the windows and ruin a great meal.
I was about to get some more of Storm's wonderful stir-fry when I heard it. A mechanical whizzing. High pitched and continuous.
Thats about when Duncan went psycho.
I listened in horror as the buzzing increased. Then it turned into high pitched Ping!'s. I'd heard this sound before. I can't remember where or when, but I'd heard these sounds before. What was the sound! What did it mean!
"Hope I didn't miss much." Wolverine said, walking in. I felt him stop cold, his breathing slowed. Then his heart rate increased.
Ba-boom. Ba-boom. Ba-boom. Ba-boom. Ba-boom.
Like a re-exploding bomb. . .
oh my god.
Thats what the sound is!
Duncan is turning himself into a bomb!
"Everyone get out!" I yelled the same time a Wolverine. I didn't wait. I bolted from my seat. It was a frenzy of moving people and overturned chairs as I tried to move forward. I was about halfway down the hallway when I relized something.
Wolverine wasn't running along with us.
I turned into the crowd, going into a traditional earthbending stance. Mylegs spread, my arms tucked to my sides, my head down. I endured, like any good earthbender. I could feel Katara weaving through the crowd back to me, moving with the grace of her element. Aang was on his airball, that much I knew. Where he was I could tell he was behind me and on my left, due to high wind. Zuko was juming from empty space to empty space, seeming to mannage. Sokka was being dragged along, unable to get free of the crowd. Soon the students had passed.
"What is it Toph?" Katara asked. I stood and looked in her general direction.
"A bomb." and I wasted no more time. I ran back into the dinning room. Wolverine had Duncan pinned on the table.
"What are you kids doing! ?" he snarled at us.
"Helping." I said, starting to come closer. "All you need to do is cut off his arm. Thats the only part of him thats a bomb."
"If you haven't noticed," Wolverine started, "My hands are full."
"Katara." I said, seeming to snap her out of a sort of trance, "Can you get it's arm off?"
"I can try."
"What about me! I'm the one with the mechete!" Sokka cried.
"Well, you can try. But you might get electricuted." that shut him up.
Katara had gotten out her water and was working with Aang to cut it off.
"You're too late anyway!" Duncan was saying. "I've already transfured the information needed! You're all too late!"
Then the pinging increaced.
"Get back!" I yelled. Wolverine dove back, and I didn't wait for other reactions. I encased us into a cave-like thing of earth, well, more like a bubble.
The explosion was loud, and I thought for a few fleeting seconds, my earth bubble wouldn't hold. We all huddled together, waiting for the blast to be over.
AN~ So sorry this was SOOOOO late! But it was a lot longer than the original! Hope you liked! And don't flame too much about it's lateness please!
