4-Cheshire Cats on the Prowl, TILT!

//When you play the game, be sure to realize that the game can turn on you at any moment.//

Why had he ran away? Why hadn't he realized who Fiskerton was? His eyes, they were frightened and even a little threatening. Doc sat in the bridge of the Airship his thoughts running rampant.

He was feeling threatened but why? Did he truthfully forget them? What had Argost-Doc gritted his teeth at the mere thought of that cretin- done to their child? Actually Doc should have just been relieved to find that Zak was still alive.

That alone should have relieved him, but it didn't their son didn't even recognize them. To top that off Isabel and Doc could only guess that the two children where Temoria and Celestic in disguise, didn't show in recognition either. Not only Zak, Doc now realized, but what had that beast done to Isabel, Temoria, and Celestic.

A headache slowly found its way into his head and he had to stop. Standing up he looked out the window at the little boat below. The little boat that had his son and his friends on it…

Zak's whole body ached when he woke up, and soon realized that it was because he was crammed between the wall and the bed. His eyes narrowed and he said through clenched teeth. "Geoff…what are you doing in my bed?" The blonde simply curled up sighing and snuggling into the bed.

Irritated Zak watched as Jena walked nonchalantly by and simply stated. "Y'know Zak you should really scream rape in these situations…that way we can get this moron arrested…"

"I couldn't do that Jena. You'd be sad if your puppy went to the pound," Zak stated irritably sliding out of the hole and kicking Geoff off his bed. The blond tumbled out of the bed, but surprisingly didn't wake. Figuring he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep Zak got up and headed for the kitchen. Grabbing a piece of bread he popped it into the toaster and proceeded to get the butter and jam.

After he heard it pop back up he swung around and slapped on the jam and butter before shoving it into his mouth. He about choked on said piece of sustenance when he saw Temoria-who hadn't been there before mind you- sitting at the table as though she'd been there the whole time reading Alice in Wonderland. Shuddering slightly at the sudden shock of another presence Zak placed a hand over his heart.

Removing the toast after taking a bite he spoke, "Hey Temoria." Looking up from her book Temoria replied kindly.

"Good morning big brother!" her voice sweet. A sense of foreboding fell over the teen and he found a shiver spiking up his spine.

"Temoria, is there something you want?" He asked sheepishly. That same smile that seemed all too fake appeared, and if he didn't know better he would guess that Temoria was a Cheshire Cat for real. Wait…she was a purple and blue tiger in her true form…he choked on his bite of toast and had to dive for the sink. After surviving the near death experience at the hands of a simple breakfast item, Zak wiped the sweat from his brown and turned back. That was only the Disney version…right?

"Nothing," she stated smiling softly. "I just thought…" Zak sighed but ruffled her hair as he walked by. "We could go to this…" She held up a pamphlet that seemed to come from nowhere...and maybe it did... Zak took it and looked at it, a new arcade was opening. Hm, his crew could use a fun break.

"Sure Temoria," he said. Later that day he'd realize just how 'fun' this day was to become

It was a fairly huge facility and there was a lot of lights. Ah wonderful seizure inducing flashing neon lights! Zak had to shield his eyes upon entering and Lukas was immediately using Celestic as a shield as he hissed in displeasure. Celestic simply let himself be used as a shield only blinking a few times before his face lit with awe.

Temoria and Celestic-after being released as Lukas retreated to the bathroom- eventually drug Isabel off to look at all the games. Zak watched them go with a faint smile on his face, his eyes falling on the three…his family.

"Bet I can beat you!"

"Do you have a death wish Geoff?!" Zak sweat dropped, and he need not forget the rest of his family either. Or as he lovingly called them the in-laws. The black and white haired boy risked the possibility of losing something important to his being, whether it be physical or a horror striking visual.

The in-laws where both on a DDR machine and Zak about fell over. Pulling himself together he decided to watch, and suddenly got the foreboding that someone was watching him. A chill ran up his spine and he turned quickly only for the 'figure' to disappear from his sight. Thinking maybe he was just imagining it he turned back around to watch the two duke it out.

Jena in the end beat Geoff to a pulp, and the blonde goggle wearer sobbed sadly his arms reaching out for the girl and begging her for another round.

"Aw that's so cute…her boyfriend is being all clingy," Zak faintly heard one person say and his whole body went ridged. That was far from the truth and Zak wanted to shush the person when they started to chant the horror striking word….kiss.

A whole rally of people began joining in and the two looked at one another. Geoff looked down at Jena and could have sworn he saw the faintest of blushes cross her cheeks. A most devilish smirk crossed the blonds face and he reached down cupping her face to which she suddenly flinched back eyes wide. The air of seriousness around Geoff made Jena powerless to stop the next action due to pure shock of the situation.

His thin arm snaked its way around her hip and pulled her flush against him. "What are yo-"

"Shh…," he murmured placing a finger on her lips. "They want a show we shall give it to them, Mon Ami…" French?! Since when had Geoff known French, he barely seemed to comprehend English!

Geoff taking the opportunity pressed his lips to hers and she became ridged.

Zak had his hands plastered to his face, not that it was embarrassing to watch, no, he feared for Geoff's life! And preferably he didn't want to watch the carnage, however against his better nature he peaked through two slightly spread fingers.

Her stomach somersaulted several times. He was such a goof up…he, he infuriated her to no end but- but he was a surprisingly good kisser! Her better judgment screamed at her and her pride battered her conscience, though those things slowly crumbled away and gave way to a nice warm feeling that flooded throughout her body.

He pulled back smirking at her, and seeing that faint blush appear across her face again, made his smirk grow wider with satisfaction.

"Geoff…" his whole body went ridged. Oh how he recognized that tone, how he dreaded it. Taking a tentative step back Geoff attempted to run.

Zak watched through slightly spread fingers as Jena grabbed Geoff by the hem of his shirt. The boy flailed as he was brought backwards and yelped when he was lifted up by the amber eyed girl.

It wasn't intentional Zak reasoned, that Geoff went flying right towards him, no just cruel, cruel fate… He braced himself as best as he was able as the crowd dispersed and the blond, flailing limbs and all collided with the double-color haired boy.

The two teens flew backwards and Zak just waited for the initial impact, his back hit the ground hard and he heard Geoff grunt as he too met the floor with his front. Zak lay dazed on the ground and watched as Geoff's form raised himself up with his elbows. The boy simply stated through dizzy hazel eyes, "I regret nothing." Before dramatically collapsing back on the ground.

"I'm sure you don't," Zak wheezed trying to regain his breath. He sat up and the same feeling crept up and he turned and this time he saw a familiar orange jumpsuit, white locks of hair disappearing behind a machine. Dread washed over the boy, they'd found them…again!

He got up taking the defensive he quickly jerked Geoff up by his elbows straightening the boy and whispering into his ear, "They're here," he muttered into the teens ear. Hazel eyes narrowed, Geoff acted goofy a lot of the time, but there were times when he became deathly serious.

This was one of those times, those same people were chasing them again, it was fine the first time…Geoff had blown it off then, Zak realized. Now the hazel eyed teen was taking this seriously just as Zak was.

Out of the group, no one except Geoff was more fiercely protective than Zak. Zak was the leader and surprisingly Geoff was his right hand man.

The teen continued to relay the plan to his partner, the goggle wearer nodded before heading off quickly hands in pockets, trying to make himself look as casual as possible.

Zak turned back to were he'd last seen the white haired woman. His blue eyes narrowing. Where they going to play this game? Cat and Mouse? Fine, but they should know, the mouse in this equation was defiantly not the Cheshire Cats.

Turning around swiftly he decided to walk off on his own, after all it seemed as if they were after him. His eyes narrowed, where they really that dumb? He saw their figures, one female and one male stalking towards him out of the corner of his eye.

He stopped at a pinball machine and began to play it, out of the other corner of his eye he saw the other Cheshire Cats, each of them gathering around throughout the crowd.

Zak played for a few seconds before finally ramming the machine as though in frustration, the machine began to buzz and the word TILT, appeared across the screen.

"Aw too bad dude! Hey if you win at that game!" he heard Geoff shout followed by the other Cheshire's voices confirming to those around them. "You win a prize!" That got the whole crowd going. Zak watched as the two figures had to back up or risk getting trampled by the people-which had to be most in the facility- was drawn by Geoff's comment. The white haired woman's blue eyes widened.

There was a gap in the crowd and Zak locked eyes with her for a moment, smirking devilishly before hopping over the rioting crowd. Lukas had both Temoria and Celestic within his grasp as the group headed out.

Zak saw out of the corner of his eye as Isabel suddenly tripped up. His eyes widened as she was caught up in the crowd. "Keep going!" He told Geoff and the boy nodded leading the group out of the arcade.

Seeing her suddenly swarmed Zak's eyes became slits, and he forcibly removed several people from his direct path. She squeaked when he suddenly picked her up bridal style, his arms wrapping around her protectively, and the two of them looked at one another. Déjà vu suddenly swept through the two teens, had they done this before? Had Zak held her in such a protective manner before?

It certainly seemed like it… the two shook their head and Zak took off towards the door. Hopping up he apologized as he hopped on a few people's heads.

He found his whole body falling forwards in a slow motion kind of manner, his eyes widening. Wrapping his arms protectively around Iz he managed to hit the ground with his back. Grunting he heard Isabel squeak a bit as her head hit the ground.

She looked up at him through pain filled eyes, her hand instinctively covering her head. Gently he removed her hand and watched as blood trickled down. He growled and turned his head to see what exactly had tripped him up.

Crud…a face he wished he'd never had to see again. Doctor Fletcher glowered down at him. There was a red glare casted over the 'good' doctors glasses that made him look quite intimidating. Perfect, this was just great, first crazy white haired lady and now a man who hates his guts…for very good reasons actually…Zak and his gang just had to destroy that despicable lab. After all it's experiments weren't even close to humane.

"Zak," a hug grin crossed his face, sharp teeth glimmering in the flashing lights. A chuckle rose from his throat as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Keh heh heh…" Blood slowly dripping down from were his fingers pinched. Did he forget to mention Fletcher's maniacal tendencies?

"Fancy meeting you here," Fletcher's voice became low and threatening. Zak growled lowly and held Iz closer, from the corner of his eye he saw several of the 'good' doctors men gathering around.

"I see you have company," Zak stated his throat suddenly dry. "Can't go anywhere without your gang huh?"

"I suppose I can't," the man stated smiling widely. The smile slowly turned into a frown and Zak watched as he held his hand out in front of him before snapping his fingers. "Kill them…"

Let's see how our heroes get out of this one! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Reality Spur! Next chapter is 5-Home Sweet Riot! See ya there!
