Ch. 19
When Zak heard the scream he knew that something was wrong. He looked over at Francis he could tell he had the same feeling. When the jet was finally ready, Zak and Francis were the first to be on board. The engine started up, and they took off into the sky. While in the air, Zak felt another jolt of energy strike him. He saw a vision of Alex saying, "Come here." Then he saw the mansion she was in.
When the vision was over, he became woozy, because visions like that take up a lot of energy in the body and mind. When he his energy back, which only took a few short seconds. He told his parents which way they should go. They followed Zak's directions exactly. They came over the mansion that Zak saw in his vision; only they were surprised to see that Argost and Munya were standing outside waiting for them. They landed near the gate. The Saturdays were the first to get out of the jet. Drew used her Fire sword and broke down the gate. They all rushed in ready to fight. Zak stood in front of everyone and stared into the eyes of Argost, angry and furious with fire burning in his eyes. Zak power started to flare up when spoke.
"Come on Argost, you know why we're here. So why don't you just let Alex come back with us, and there won't have to be a fight." Zak said
"Well in that case, I only find it fair to warn you, that I'm not the one that will be fighting." Argost said
"What, then who is?"
Argost stepped to the side and a shadowy like figure stood behind him. When the figure stepped into the light, they were surprised to see that it was Alex! She was wearing the armor she wore during her training and her hair was up in a ponytail.
"Alex, you're ok." Zak shouted
Right when Zak became as happy as he could be, he saw Alex hold out her hand; suddenly he saw a whip being formed in her hand. It was red, so it must have been made from fire. She then used the whip and it tied around Zak's Ankle. She then pulled back on the whip and slammed Zak into his parents. They couldn't believe what Alex just did, nor did they want to.
"Alex, what the heck was that for?" Zak asked
Argost laughed at them and told them why she would attack.
"Foolish boy, the girl is now mine to control. She will obey me now." Argost said
"What, that's not possible, last time you tried to take control of Alex with a neural parasite it was fried when Alex fought back." Zak said
"Simple, I've been experimenting with some new neural parasites, and what better way to test it than on the girl that managed to escape the first one."
"What did you do?"
"If you must know, this parasite impaticular dose not connect to the nervous system. It connects to the cerebral quartets."
"You mean she..."
"Has no free will of her own, in other words my wish is her command."
When Argost gave the command to attack the Saturdays, she was about to use her whip again, but it got caught by Drew's fire sword. It seemed that Drew challenged her to a sword fight, Alex accepted the challenge. The whip she used disappeared in her hand, and then a sword that was made from a lighting strike was made. The two swords then clashed together as the fight between fire and lighting began. It was a fierce battle as the two swords swung from left to right, but despite Drew's effort, Alex had defeated her (and she didn't kill her, if that's what you thought I meant.) When Drew lost the sword fight it was Doc's turn. The two of them get into more of a fistfight. Doc put on his power glove (p.s. his power glove has four gems on the knuckles that has the same powers as Alex.) During their fight she used her physic powers to read his mind. She saw that he planned to use the upper cut on her, then use his gloves freezing powers to keep me in place. Instead she dogged the upper cut and came around and used a roundhouse kick in his stomach. She then pushed him back to where everyone else was standing.
Fisk, Komodo and Zon went next. It was a good effort try to beat her together, but it didn't do that much. Alex beat Fisk by using her sonic powers against his hearing, which then knocked him out. Komodo was beaten by her power of ice, since Komodo is a reptile he's cold blooded, so he can't stand the cold. Zon was beaten the same way since she too is a reptile. The odds were against them, but it was the scientist's turn. The rest of the secret scientists then attack her together, as a group. One of them used a blaster ray, another used some kind of gun that could punch holes through time and space and travel a certain distance. Francis and his father used the strange devices around their necks; they released sonic sound waves that left a person vulnerable to an attack. Alex deflected the blasters attacks by using her power to absorb it. Alex jumped into one of the interdementaional holes and took out the scientist when she came out of the other. Francis and Epsollion activated their sonic collars and released a high pitch sound wave that her dragon half would hear. To her the sound was very loud and it was like a pair of claws scratching a chalkboard.
She got on her knees and kept her ears covered, then she had an idea, as it turns out she also had sonic sound powers. She let out a horrible screech that was too much for the two Grey men to bare. Their collars couldn't take it either, the sound wave from Alex was so strong it made them self-destruct. The Saturdays, The Secret Scientist and the Grey Men were taken down by Alex. But Zak wasn't about to lose; he stood up with all his strength and was ready to fight again. Alex became angry since he wouldn't give up. Argost gave her the order and she attacked. She used the whip again, only this it time it wrapped around his waist and slammed him into the ground. Zak then thought that he was about to be killed by the girl that he loved.
He kept his eyes closed and waited for it to be over and done. He waited, but nothing happened, he finally found the courage to open his eyes, he saw that Alex was gone! When he got up he saw standing next Argost, his arm around her shoulder.
"You see; the girl obeys no one, but me." Argost said
"Alex I know you can hear me. You have to fight back, you're not meant to serve Argost, you were meant to help the world with me, my family, and the rest of the secret scientists."
"Ha Ha Ha, do you really think that sense less pleading will help. Your efforts are hope less boy. So might as well give up while you have the chance."
"NO, I know that the Alex I know and love is still in there, Alex if you can hear me show me that you can."
"Zak?" Alex said
"Yes that's it, come on Alex, you can hear me, fight back."
Alex kept her eyes only on the boy that was pleading to her, a whole new feeling washed over her body. She felt like she really did know who he was and what he meant by "fight back". She walked towards Zak and gave him an icy stare. She got down on one knee and looked into Zak's face, she placed one hand on his face as one tear escaped Zak's eye.
"Zak, I'm so sorry." Alex said
Zak was surprised at what she said, he watched as Alex stood up a yellow glow came around her. Thunderstorms came to spot where she was. One lightning bolt flew down from the sky, Alex caught it. They all watched and waited to see what she would do with the bolt.
