A/N- I know this might be really out in left field, but I hope Nevermore doesn't suck, because then I would have to write a story that was better. And I do have an idea, so if it does suck that's one of the first things I'm writing after I finish reading it. Hopefully it won't come to that. Oh, by the way, the only reason I Ratchet and Kate together is because if I had Star in the story, she would have broken it with her super speed because I tend to overpower people with super speed. Enjoy the chapter.
Hawaii, Here we Come Chapter 5
Ella POV
A small metal pellet fell out of the clone's hand. When it hit the floor a red mist filled the room. It got in my eyes and I couldn't see. It also smelled really bad, so bad Iggy fell to the floor. When I opened my eyes he was gone.
"What was that stuff?" I asked.
"I don't know. What color was it?" Iggy asked.
"It was red." A look of horror came across his face. "What is it?"
"That stuff could have been poisonous!"
"What do we do?"
"Uh, get in the shower so we can wash it off."
"Okay." And we both started taking our clothes off. Iggy rushed into the bathroom and turned the shower on. We both got in immediately. The water was extremely cold. I disregarded it and started rubbing soap on Iggy's back. When I was done he took the soap and started rubbing it on my back. That's when I had a thought. If we were going to die, I was going to let Iggy know how I felt. I turned around and kissed him full on the mouth as hard as I could. I think Iggy was surprised because he dropped the soap. He slowly wrapped his arms around me and started kissing me back. The thought of us dying suddenly went away. After a while we broke apart and Iggy started licking his lips.
"Your lips taste like," He paused, "cherry Kool-Aid."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Lick your lips and see." I did, and yeah, it was cherry Kool-Aid. "Well, at least we know he thinks like me. Gazzy and I did the same exact thing to Max and Fang once. Of course, they didn't think it was poison."
"So what are we going to do now?" I had noticed the water had been getting hotter.
"Well, we can't really track him and we're already here," He started to trail of at the end. Then he leaned in and started kissing me again. Happy birthday to me.
Iggy II POV
I jumped out the window and started to fly away. I opened up my comm channel and started talking.
"Omega, this is Epsilon. Come in Omega."
"Omega here. What's your status?"
"Plan A has failed. I was foiled by his wife. Oh, and the super strong girl and the guy with super senses are on the island too."
"That might cause a problem. Come back to base, we can come up with plan B there."
"Got it. Epsilon out." Yeah, I might just be in this for the fun, but I needed a partner. He has some overarching plot involving stealing some kid, but I never paid attention long enough to care. I just want to blow stuff up.
Iggy POV
After we got out of the shower we started talking about the clone.
"I wonder what he's after." I said starting the conversation.
"I think it may have been a preemptive attack, probably to get us out of the way."
"So he thinks we're a threat. What can we do that would constitute a threat to him."
"You can make explosives out of nothing." Ella offered.
"Which means I can disarm them too. He's going to try to blow something up."
"But all that's here is a navy base."
"Well that's where we should start."
"How are we going to get in there?"
"I just so happen to have been there before and have a phone number to report emergencies."
So I called the base and they told us to come there. It was kinda weird doing this stuff again, especially with Ella. We were brought into the general's office to speak with him.
"Never thought I'd see you again. I hear you have a problem."
"Actually it's more like you have a problem. There is a clone of me running around the island and we think he's trying to target this base for an attack."
"That's some good intel. We've had reports of an avian-human hybrid flying around here for the last month. Now we know what he looks like."
"What's here of any importance anyway?" Ella asked.
"I don't recognize you." The general said.
"She's my wife. She's also Max's sister."
"Oh. Well, the only really dangerous things we have here are some missiles that can reach North Korea."
"And if they hit it would cause a war right?" I asked.
"Exactly."
"Do you have any other information about this situation?"
"We intercepted a conversation between your clone and what seems to be his partner." I assume he pulled out a tape recorder and pushed play because the conversation started.
"I'm in position." My clone said.
"Good, Good. All you have to do is convince her to bring you to the base so you can hack the computer. I estimate a 93.54% chance of success." Then then recording stopped.
"I recognize that voice. I knew Max should have killed him." And then my heightened sense of irony kicked in and alarms started going off.
A/N- I really don't have anything to say down here. 73 days until Nevermore. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
