Takeo's POV
Concealed within the walls of the dishonrable. However, the dishonour is freed from this room from everyone. The only one that annoys me, is Holger playing with the keys.
"Ooh! I am ghost of mean person arm! I make you feel so scary!"
He is not so bad. Better being with these, young souls within confinement, is better than running around with a drunk Russian! Plus, I had still had some matters to attend to! I still had someone to look after!
Before, the…Viking, began his stories, Lee had tried to try and convince that this Nora-child, was alive, and came back. Of course they didn't believe, but I had assured them that he wasn't lying.
"A man came to me, told me that I was to protect the honourable girl."
That's how I assured them. They knew she had great power, and she could walk the earth, by merely sitting in a corner, in FULL concentration.
Back to the present…
"Will you please just, hold it right THERE." I said.
Holger got the arm to be held near the shield, so now I had to find a weakness to the door. Biffy had been trying to be helpful as well.
"No, there can't be a way out of here! Hello? That's why it's called a Prison cell? Other wise it'd be called, oh I don't know, A ROOM!"
Jenny has such attitude, however, the child is right. It'd take more than a couple of frags to break a door such as this.
"Hmph, but we have no option Jerkins." I said.
"Hello? Even you could figure this one out, THERE. IS. NO. WAY. OUT."
I just sigh deeply, and continue scanning the door.
"This is worst rescue ever! We be coming to save you, but who be saving us?!" Holger cried.
"You did alright, getting this far. Takeo commends you for that." I said.
"Oh Ho ho! Holger be having the thanks for you, Mr. Masaki sword guy!" Holger cheerfully said.
"Right…" I respond.
After some moments, scanning the door, I was hearing a conversation from Lee and Tina. Hmm…
"What was that for?"
"I just wanted to say, you know, thanks, for looking out for us!"
"Like I was supposed to do nothing and let you get captured!"
Holger walked over to Lee, and gave a sniff.
"OH! LOVE CAKE!"
I can remember that he has the thing, for some other people's love. I think he has some sort of gift. If, I can remember correctly. He still tried to make it humorous, to Biffy's inconvenience, that their romance was no secret.
"COME ON! Would someone else other than me take this seriously?!" Biffy scolded.
"Ah, we go to the exit? NO! But, the exit path comes to us!" I said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tina asked.
After a few seconds of thinking, she finally let out an "OOOOH!"
"Dinner. My favourite meal of the day." I said.
"OH! ME TOO! Holger is so hungry!" Holger said.
"They think only one person's in here, right?" Lee asked.
"Yes, but, when they come, we have to deal with the other cells. When they open the doors, and find me and Jenny are not present, we'll need to improvise."
I think I made myself clear to all of them. They didn't remove my katana from me, just my guns.
"Yeah! NOT BAD!" Biffy complimented.
"But one, problem! Dinner isn't tell like ever!" Jenny said.
"Patience is a virtue, Takeo knows this." I said.
"Ok…" Jenny responded.
"Holger be wanting to tell stories to entertain you all! But Holger also be wanting to know the amazing tales of most epic Samurai Masaki!" Holger said.
"So, you want to know everything? Now that I think about it, I haven't explained myself other then, me and my crew travelling from 1945, have I?"
Everyone seemed to be interested, better than what Holger wanted to tell, in their eyes, I presume.
"Alright…here it goes."
Meanwhile…
Dempsey's POV
Things ain't looking to bright over on my end! The students are being forced to rebuild that pyramid that I emerged from, into this futuristic time period. I could go in all guns blazing, but that ain't smart, they've got great security, and from the outside. I look closely, when the school bell rang, indicating them to go home, but one of the clones give some bullshit excuse that, the school's been infected with lice, again. Alright, I'm going to need a plan. Gonna have to find Barrage…
Coral Grove…
Cassandra was with her daughter, Kimmie, who was relaxing on an outdoor patio. She was offering her lemonade, but Kimmie had a questionabout why they always come to a top secret military base, not located on any map.
"Wouldn't you think that if other family's had top secret military bases, that they'd go there to? You happen to be a very lucky, young lady. Now excuse me for a moment…"
Cassandra went back inside. Kimmie wasn't really convinced however, but Cassandra didn't seem to care.
"Ms Mann! Back from the real world? I hear the city is nice this time of year!"
His Eminence walked in, then Cassandra offered him some lemonade, and grabbed a remote for a projection screen.
"Yes, but you already know that! It seems you were in town, and didn't call to go for lunch!" Cassandra said.
She then pulled up an image of him in the Ping home with, The Serpent, Alfred Ping, and Richtofen.
"Spying on me? I see…"
"Oh, but I'm doing more than just spying!"
She pulled up live feed of The Serpent, sitting in his cell, cross-legged.
"Isn't that your little co-conspirator?" She asked.
"He has his purpose! You shall, RELEASE HIM!" Eminence demanded.
"Uh, uh, uh, first I want answers, then…we'll see."
His Eminence's hands started to shake a little bit, hanging on to his cane. Cassandra continued.
"He's Lee Ping's brother isn't he? Why is this Ping family so important? Why are you helping him?"
She pulled up a video, of when Lee's expulsion was lifted, by sending that message to the man who had previously, temporarily, ran the school. Blompkins.
"I'd hate to see someone get expelled without good reason." Eminence said.
"Cute…AND NONSENSE." Cassandra responded harshly.
She switched it back to The Serpent in his cell.
"Our company is not only the largest in the world, it runs the world! But somehow it's always that ridiculous pyramid, and that…German. What is Mann Wurst Finnwich really about?"
"It wasn't always Mann Wurst and Finnwich, there was a fourth, PING. And to answer your next ques-"
"AHEM!"
Kimmie was seeing what was going on, and she had opened the door, looking into the room.
"Ok seriously, there's a man in a cage, and a monster in our living room! But you're not evil, and all of this is totally normal!"
Her sarcastic tone, made Cassandra make her go back outside.
"See, sometimes it's best not to tell the children everything!" Eminence said.
Meanwhile…
Lee's POV
"And that is how I am here, right here, right now."
He was summing up for the past…I don't even know, his adventures through time, and all the things he's seen. This guy's been everywhere! I mean, a jump from the 40's to the 60's, and seeing a rocket launch into space! Then getting trapped in a closet, in an unknown time, then travelling to these ancient ruins, then travelling here to this time, trapped in the pyramid.
"Ok, my mind is like, totally blown!" Jenny said.
"Ok, now I will continue to wait, no more stories for you!" Takeo said.
So, we sat down, Holger wanted to tell a story, but I think he was to pre-occupied with Takeo's story. Then, suddenly, DING DONG.
"It is time! Remember what we discussed." Takeo said.
So, me, Jenny, Biffy, Holger, and Takeo, all hid behind the gap on the side of the doors. There was the butler hazmat at the door, with Tina's dinner. He used his robot scanner to enter the room, then we all jumped him, and Takeo had his sword pointed at it.
"OW! STOP THAT!"
Wait…I know that voice! Tina pulled off the mask, and it was.
"LYNCH?!" Everyone gasped.
"Hiya padres!"
We let Lynch go, hoping he'd start talking. He didn't even care about Takeo holding a blade to his face.
"Pft, you're all kids!"
"Age matters not, lest the dishonourable, parishes with grief!" Takeo said.
"Oh, and some of this!" Biffy said hitting his own fists.
"And some of this toosey's!" Holger said.
He tried his superpower cry, and as usual, nothing.
"The guy ain't gonna be scared of you if you make it weird like that!" Biffy said.
"Yeah, probably the only thing is…"
Takeo's sword, of course, who wouldn't fear that look in the dude's eye. Me has the uniform and stuff, but it's not that relevant. Takeo, suddenly put away his katana, then reminded Tina of something.
"Oh yeah!"
Tina grabbed one of Lynch's gloves, and said she and Takeo would "BRB."
Tina's POV
Have to deal with Jenny and Takeo's cell. There's one now, dropping off Jenny's meal. It get it's attention with a whistle, then I use the arm to activate the forcefield.
"DINNER IS SERVED!" I said.
Wow, my first action hero quote…
"Takeo needs arm, here, now!"
I threw the arm to Takeo, he went back to his own cell, with the hazmat just coming out, because it already noticed Takeo was gone.
"You cannot be out there, Captain."
Before the robot could do anything, Takeo jumped forward with a kick, and used his katana to split the robot in half. He says nothing. He turns around, sword on his right hand, and adjusting his cap.
"Good sushi is always in the cut!" He said.
I like that saying! Ok, so we walked back to my cell. Holger explained that Lynch was working for The Amazing Sandwich?
"It's Finnwich you maroon!" Lynch said.
"But, you double-crossed Finnwich right in front of me! He'd never trust you again! Nice try though buddy." Lee said.
He then said Jenny was up. Seeing Jenny punch him out the first time was pretty epic, and the second time, I think I may enjoy this. After all, I don't like being tied to a giant knocker!
"No please! I swear! Finnwich unfroze me somehow, and sent me to get you! Plus, your old pal, Nora, is here."
"A likely story…" I sarcastically said.
"No she's here." Lee said.
"Really?!" Me and Jenny gasped.
"Oh, I got a better one! You ready? It's called using the creepy old man as bait!"
Biffy just picked up Lynch and threw him out the door.
"We got a runner!" Takeo yelled.
The robots seemed to take notice in Lynch. We ran for it, to the elevator. When we pushed the button for the submarine docking bay, we gave each other high fives, but Takeo didn't seem to get one. So, I gave him one.
A few moments later…
Dempsey's POV
I've been sneaking around, not my style! I reached the cafeteria, and there was Barrage, frozen in green crystal.
"Corporal! I demand that you get me out of here, pronto style!"
"Oh, that's a problem, I ain't got a crystallizer. I'll get you out of there, even if it breaks my gun!" I said.
"No, keep your weapon! Just go and get the crystallizer!"
"You got it!"
I sprinted down the hallway, to the library, where all of our shit was. Everything that we didn't take, was still there. I had a crystallizer, I put it the M16 on my back, and carried the crystallizer back. Then, I see Cam and Brandy already there, with a gun.
"SERIOUSLY?!" I yell.
"I don't think we can trust him, he's probably for them and stuff!" Cam said.
"Did you forget what I just did for you boy?!"
I looked at a hazmat, who's head appeared to be incinerated. I guess that was Barrage.
Coral Grove…
The whole gang was inside the submarine, finally. They were battling a grim-reaper hazmat, trying to take it out. Lee remembered something Finnwich did. He reached for its neck and pressed a button. It de-activated.
"That was hard, but you all did great nonetheless!" Takeo said.
"Well, I don't think anyone's on to us!" Biffy said.
"So, did we like, make it?" Jenny said.
"YES! We made it!" Tina said hugging Lee.
Holger cut in, for a group hug.
"Hold on, we are not out yet." Takeo said.
"He's kind of right you know!"
It was Lynch's voice coming from the downed hazmats arm. Lynch was sitting there, eating some peanuts.
"Like I said! Finnwich wants to see you! And what he wants, he gets! Plus, I can't believe all of you would leave your old big sister behind!"
"Hold on, what was that last part? Planning to double cross him again?" Lee asked.
"THAT PART WASN'T FOR YOU PING."
Lynch took over the controls, and turned the sub back.
"Oh, and Lee, this may convince you stick around! There's someone here close to you!"
"Yeah, yeah, my psycho brother, way ahead of you!" Lee said.
"No, your mom! Your real mom! You know, the non-cloned one? Plus, Nora wants to see you all!"
Everyone was kind of shocked that it was true. Nora Prowler, was there, ready to see them, eye-to-eye once again.
When the sub finally came back in, they were greeted by Lynch, who was being a little rough with the submarines controls.
"Oops! Awful sorry!" He said.
Biffy opened the door, and Takeo came out with him.
"Oh, you're going to be a lot sorry when-"
Lynch shook the sub around more, knocking Biffy down, and causing Takeo to jump up, and land back down, without tripping.
"So, it is true what they say!" Lynch said impressed.
Takeo went off the submarine, to check on Biffy.
"I'm ok!" He said.
Everyone else came back down.
"Welcome back padres and padrets!"
Lynch offered them all a peanut, but Takeo sliced the bag in half.
"Oh, so we're gonna be like that today, huh?"
"Takeo does not have time for this! You take me to Finnwich, and save me the effort of turning you to fresh sushi!"
"Ok, fine! But, you lie to us again, and you will never the light of day, again!" Takeo threatened.
Lynch showed the gang a door, to go through. To lead them to Finnwich.
Meanwhile…
Back at A. Nigma, they still haven't unfroze Barrage, and he was getting impatient.
"HOLD ON! One last thing!"
Brandy took out her phone. Her and Cam took some funny photos with Barrage.
"Oh boy…alright, now we unfreeze him!" Dempsey said.
He pulled the trigger, with the gun on de-crystallize. When Barrage was freed, he took out his phone, and dialled a number, which Cam was curious about.
"BRO, who you calling? Police? SWAT team? Army? Nuclear strike? Wait, don't do that last one!"
One of the Wurst clones, came up from underneath, with two hazmats with crystallizers.
"Let me guess, CASSANDRA."
"Dude, you're calling her? She's mucho evil boss styles bro!" Cam said.
"Haven't you heard, she's no lon-"
Dempsey was getting tired of all the talking, he fired a burst of bullets from his M16, and took down the hazmats.
"You have a problem with not listening, do you?" Wurst asked, enraged.
"One of my problems, I never learn!"
Dempsey grabbed the crystallizer, and froze the clone.
"GOOD WORK!" Barrage saluted.
He grabbed a couple of crystallizers from the hazmats, and gave it to Brandy and Cam.
"Let the carnage begin! HOORAH!" Dempsey said.
"Woah, woah, and like…WOAH! There's an army and a half down there bro!" Cam reminded.
"Just spitballing here, but maybe we should, I don't know, check it out first!" Brandy said.
"RECON? I like the way you think suzey cue junior! You're promoted to Corporal!" Barrage said, giving a salute.
Brandy saluted back. Dempsey cocked his M16.
"Alright, we go down, and smash 'em to smithereens!"
Barrage went to an alternative way to the tunnels.
Coral Grove…
His Eminence had finished introducing the four who started MWF, the markings and about his people taking shelter underground, and that it was learned that Ping, who ran away from him. Cassandra expressed her thoughts
"Amazing, you should write a book, but, there's one more thing…"
"A yes, Group 935…Northern France…"
"So, out with it then!"
Eminence cleared his throat, then started to explain.
"It began long ago, on the battlefields of the great war."
"World War One?"
"Yes. Two German scientists sought to harness dark and mysterious forces, buried for centuries. But, they could never have imagined, what their research could unearth."
"So, who was sent to stop it?"
"The three soldiers you know, were sent. They stopped it, it continued years later in the Second World War. Time travel is not an easy art to perfect, that is how they arrived. The teleporter that Richtofen and Maxis invented are how they are here."
"Include that in your book, but..."
Cassandra took his glass and put it in the sink. Then took out a crystallizer, and pointed it at him.
"I'm not going to let your slimy lizard pals take over my world! I run things up here, and I don't think a change is good for business! So-"
Two red grim-reaper hazmats came into the room, and used its magnetic powers to destroy Cassandra's gun.
"Oh, but I'm not afraid it's up to you!" Eminence said.
Kimmie came back in the room, asked for more sun tan-loation. When she noticed the hazmats, she tried to go back outside, but one of them grabbed her.
Dempsey's POV
Finally! How does it take to get from one place to the other?! So, anyway, there's the pyramid! Time to serve up some lead! But, I gotta make sure the dead ones are crystallized first.
"So, what's the plan? Stealth, gas attack?" Brandy asked.
I laughed at Brandy's statement.
"What?"
"That's not how WE do it here!"
"He's right you know, we go in hard, fast!"
Barrage seemed to agree, grabbing a robot through the forcefield, and opening it up.
"AND ALL SO EXTRA GOOEY!"
He ran into the room, I ran in.
"HOORAH!"
I'm gonna make sure no friendly's are harmed! Don't you worry!
Meanwhile…
Back in Coral Grove, things have happened. Lynch was trying to stop them from going to the cloning labs, Tina was guarding him, while the rest went to the cloning labs. Biffy noticed his parents were here for some odd reason. Holger and Takeo went with Biffy, that left Jenny and Lee alone in a dark room.
"So, I wanted to ask you something? When you guys came, was it, just for Tina?" She asked.
"What? No way, you're part of the-"
Lee cut himself off, looking at all the pods for different clones.
"THAT'S A LOT OF CLONES! Anyway, Jenn, we came for both of you!"
"Thanks! It's just that I might've, mucked up your chances with Tina."
"What?"
"Not on purpose though, we made this pact…IT WAS STUPID. Forget it. It's obvious you really like her! I'll fix everything! Now, where were we?"
They continued scanning the pods. They didn't have luck at first, but they did find her, Sue Ping.
"OMG! It's her! How do you open it?" Jenny said.
"I wouldn't do that!"
They looked at a monitor, which was hanging from above, with His Eminence on it.
"Mr. Ping! We finally meet!"
Two blue grim-reaper hazmats came into the room. They stood around for a few moments, but His Eminence explained he's like them, he wants to go home, but he needs a couple of things. Lee's key, and…
"YOU!"
"Me?" Jenny asked.
"No, HIM!"
"This guy?" Lee asked pointing to one of the robots.
"I know I may seem odd to you, but let me show my appreciation!"
His Eminence released Lee's mom. Lee caught her.
"Lee? Where am I?"
But, when that happened, one of the pod's from the R section opened.
"That was not supposed to happ-"
The monitor was cut out. The hazmats were about to shoot at Lee, and Jenny was about to shoot the hazmats with a crystallizer, but some bullets were coming out of the other pod that opened. Jenny stood, with her crystallizer out, the smoke was making it hard to see. Who emerged was, a man wearing a leather jacket, with the soviet symbols on the shoulders, and a pair of brown pants, and some dark boots. He seemed to have this hairy beard around his chin. He was holding an AK-47.
"Who are you?!" Jenny demanded.
"I am Reznov… Viktor."
