The car ride to the base was a silent one, Everyone was in a state of shock on just how fast everything had gone wrong, Sally's head was in her knees, Lobo and Derrick were readying their claws/knives for battle, altheia and Belle were staring out windows and Max was driving.
"They're bound to be okay right?" Alteia said, breaking the silence. "I think they need Calvin for whatever it is...they're not going to hurt him… his parents can sue."
"And what about Tracer?" Sally asked, barely looking up. "He's dressed like Calvin right now, all they have to say is,oh that's Calvin..I mean who's going to believe us?"
"My military buddies." Max said under his breath, too low for anyone to hear.
"The police might….except that "Tracer" is still filling in for Calvin…" Sally mumbled.
As they drove once again in silence, Max looked up. "Well, I for one am going through with this mission, we've come too far now to abandon it."
Before anyone could say anything else, Derrick held up his script. "Yeah…...as it turns out we're supposed to adlib this part…., and I for one am not a person for heroic speeches."
"I like them in moderation."
"Meh."
"I'm with the wolf."
"I Like them."
"They're good when needed."
Max listened to these opinions and then looked up at the Author. "Up for a scene change?"
Anything to finally get this done.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Beth groaned a bit as she twisted her head, he vison was a bit fuzzy as she tried to sit up. "Oh man, where am I?"
"Don't Worry dear, it's all right."
Beth turned her head to see William staring at her, a hand gently on her head.
"What?" Beth asked, still disoriented.
"Relax, those monsters cannot harm you while you're here." William said as he turned and walked away, frowning a bit.
Beth shook the fuzziness from her head and her mouth hung open at seeing the Robot with it's back turned from her.
"W-WHat are you..am I on something?"
"No, I checked you, the drugs in your system have mostly leaked out by this point." William said turning. "What did they do to you?"
Beth stared long and hard at the robot that was standing before her, she shifted her eyes around a bit, she didn't know if this was a test,or worse by these radicals that had captured her. She inched back a bit, and William's optics raised themselves a bit.
He walked over, and raised a hand and Beth flinched.
"It's okay, I don't want to cause you any harm…"
"How do I know that you're not lying?, like those agents when they said they wanted to try something "Fun" with me!"
William's eyes narrowed and he reached behind her back and gently patted it. "I'm not like those liars, in fact, you know me in another way." William said, then much to Beth's surprise, the robot shut down, then her Father emerged from it in a wispy like state.
"D-Daddy?" Beth asked, stunned as her father nodded before flying back into the robot and reactivating it.
"Indeed dear."
Beth sat in shock, before she edged back quickly "How do I know it's you?, How do I know that you're not some freaky trick!?"
William looked up and then looked down at her.
"What if I told you things only you and I know?"
"How do I know that my memory's weren't scanned?"
"Uhhhh…"
"That's what I thought."
"Were you always this mouthy when you weren't on an assignment?"
Beth humphed, then turned away fro the Automaton, and WIlliam shook his head with a sigh. He didn't doubt she wouldn't believe him, but now his own mind was racing. Had he gone and signed up with the wrong group, back when he was Younger all these guys did was make kids calmer, but now, looking at his daughter seeing how ragged she was, the injection points..
William's frown grew deeper as he turned toward Beth.
"If someone comes in, lay flat on the table, act like you're passed out." He said and then entered a keycard into the door and it opened, only to find Three Agents, holding Calvin by the arms, and one was just standing there looking all "menacing".
"Well, that was fast." William snarked and then shot a look toward Beth who blinked and then let her head fall back and her eyes close.
Calvin was stri struggling and kicking his legs, and complaining.
"You can't do this to me, I have rights as an American citizen!, COMMUNISTS!, you're all communist nazi's, your worse than Hitler if you plan on torturing me, he at least let the kids die quickly!, My dad's a lawyer he'll sue, I demand an attorney!, a Jury, Judge Judy, A quintesson Trail!, I DEMAND A RETRIAL!."
and we'll stop his rant right there for now since it'll take up the rest of the chapter.
"We caught him trying to break in with the help of his tiger and a cohort, luckily one of our agents pushed them off the road." One of the Agents said and William's eyes went wide.
"Pushed them off the-, are you insane!?"
"Don't worry all of them lived."
William looked down at Calvin then back at the agents and then frowned. "Are you all mental cases?"
The agents rolled their eyes and then shoved Calvin into his arms. "We'll be altering the headmistress about this development, we'll let you know what her response is, for now make sure he stays locked up."
And with that, the agents shut the door, leaving William in silence, well half silence anyway.
"And another thing, you call this thing a robot, the robots that the William guy built during the summer were more better than that, at least they had personality, at least they actually LOOKED human, not just like a rip off of CYbermen, Galvatron and Ultron-"
William shut his eyes and sighed.
CAlvin looked around and he froze in shock when he saw the device William had built, and he stiffened up even more when he saw Beth get up from her sitting position.
"You!" Beth stated.
"You!" Calvin said with a point.
Beth then leapt from her table and tackled Calvin to the floor. "You killed my father!" She screamed.
"Hey you're supposed to say Inigo Montoya First!...or rather Beth Anterfun." Calvin said as he pushed Beth away from him.
"ENOUGH WITH THE STUPID PUNS AND REFERENCES!" Beth roared and then punched Calvin in the face, giving him a black Eye, and then Calvin punched her in the mouth, and Beth kicked him in the knee, and soon one of those Cartoon dust clouds for fighting had been formed.
William stared at the brawl and then bent down, and then grabbed Both Calvin and Sally and pulled them into the air, bot with Black Eyes, Beth had a bruised lip and their clothing was dirty and ragged
"Hold it both of you!"
"Hey, let got of me so I can finish beating her up!" Calvin said trying to swing around.
William sighed. "I'd almost forgotten how much trouble you were for me."
"For you you're a robot, I don't even know who made you!"
"He claims to be my Dad." Beth grumbled and then glared at Calvin and William.
"I am your father, and I say no fighting with Calvin!"
"That's….wait..I think Tracer may have mentioned something about that." Calvin said pausing and then he tensed up again.
"AUGH GET ME OUT OF HERE!" He screamed and tried to run, only to have his feet just move wildly through the air, he soon realized this and stopped running.
"Better?"
"Heck No, I'm still trapped!"
"You're not trapped!, well okay you're sort of trapped, I'm rethinking this whole thing after they drugged up Beth, but then again you're locked in this room with me, but I don't-, gah,my head hurts."
William held a hand to his head, the same hand that held Calvin, when he realized that Calvin's back and but here in his face he removed his hand and set both kids back on the table.
"Now look both of you, I'm right now thinking this situation though, I'm still miffed at you for getting me killed!" He angrily declared, jabbing a finger toward Calvin.
"Oh sure, like it's my fault you got killed." Calvin spat.
"It is!" Both Beth and William shouted at the same time.
Calvin huffed and then gave a small shrug. "Okay, Maybe a little."
William face palmed and groaned.
"So my question is, why did you join up with these dung heads anyway?" Calvin asked.
"I thought they could help me with my revenge giant you, by helping me steal your Imagination so I could finally rid the world of it's worst problems!"
"...Robot Ghost man say wuhhhh?" Calvin asked.
Beth's pupils shrank as she silently gasped. No one even knew what her father's true agenda had been, he mostly said it was taking over the world….but he always stumbled when he said those words..
"And let me guess that problem was Imagination?" Calvin shot.
"A Certain kind of Imagination, the bad kind, the dark bits at the back of your mind that cause you think thoughts that you would never want to see the light of day, the problems of the world have been caused by such thoughts sometimes good ones in reactions to such things, my goal would be to drain the Imagination and separate the good from the bad."
"And then?" Calvin asked, crossing his arms.
"What do you mean by and then?"
"And then what, you have this giant plan, everything's in place, what do you plan to do with the bad Imagination?"
"Umm….well I uh."
"And another thing, what was with the whole show you put on back at the camp?, why didn't you just drain my Imagination and then move on?"
"I got blinded by anger okay!?, I didn't expect to see Hobbes, or your Dad, memories came up/came back I wasn't thinking straight and everything I did was in response to you!"
"and the Giant towers?"
"Amplifiers."
"The Robots?"
"Cheap labor."
"Ah."
Beth sat there in stunned confusion as she watched Calvin and the THING that was supposedly her father go back and forth with this conversation. No one noticed her eye twitching a bit.
"THIS IS WRONG!" She exclaimed and then pointed at William. "This conversation just proves my point that you're not my father, my real daddy, would NEVER be chatting with Calvin like this, if he was a robot he would be trying to fulfill his goals!"
"My...goals…...have changed now Beth, they hurt you."
"What proof do I have that you are not them? Anyone can project a hologram and/or scan my memories!"
"Tracer mentioned a memory scanner-"
"Calvin you're not helping."
Beth curled herself up in a corner of the table. "My Daddy is dead, everyone wants to use me, even the stupid Calvin Robot left me!, and YOU, you're the cause of it all!" She pointed accusingly at Calvin who did a "who me?" gesture.
"If you had just behaved you wouldn't have been sent to the camp, Daddy's plans wouldn't have been ruined, he would still here, we wouldn't be in this mess, and, and ,and-"
At that very moment Beth burst into tears and buried her head into her knees much to the surprise of Calvin and William.
"Sweetie-"
"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT, YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER, YOU'RE A SOULLESS MACHINE!" Beth shouted, and then kicked off a shoe that bounced off William's head.
Beth then pulled herself back into her little ball and sobbed a bit. "Just leave me alone!" She spat out angrily leaving the room in near silence as Calvin turned to look at William.
"Harsh."
"it's my own fault, I got her wrapped up in this."
"Okay, by the way, what did my dad have to do with your anger?"
"Oh that, well it's a kind of complex story about your uncle, my brother, the fathers of Moe and Susie, Magine's accident and Hobbes's orign-"
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yeah I am NOT writing a prequel anytime soon.
Meanwhile back with our other heroes, AKA Everyone not in the room
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Well, that was easy." Altheia said as she tossed another unconscious agent onto the pile of unconscious agents.
"Yeah, that was a really big fight scene that we would have shown had our budget not been cut." Belle said glaring toward the Author. "Ya know just because the story is running too long doesn't call for you to make cuts like this. "
You wanna go back on hiatus?
Everyone tensed up at those words and shook their heads rapidly.
Good now then, back to the narrative.
"Is that all the guards that were stationed outside?" Lobo asked, hurling another guard onto the pile of guards.
"I think so, but there's bound to be a lot more inside." Max said as he parked his car away from the gates so it wouldn't get destroyed for some unknown reason. "We may want to cause a distraction."
"And alert more attention to ourselves!?, I'm surprised that we weren't noticed already!" Belle exclaimed.
"The SUV's that drove past us probably carry our main task force, that and the fight happened off screen." Sally said as Derrick began to walk toward the door to the parking garage.
"Wait a sec Derrick, let's think through this-" Altheia said but before she could say anything else, the door slammed shut right as Derrick stepped through it.
"Hey" the Thirteen year old called out when suddenly a red siren began to go off.
"Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert, sealing facility, sealing facility."
"DERRICK YOU MORON!" Lobo shouted through the door as Max ran through the gates as they slammed shut, and then the fence suddenly began to rise up and become electrified, every single door and window in the place had a bolted door dropped down over it and along the road, every single trap popped up as well.
Then the siren stopped, and quickly everything got quiet. No one said a word till Lobo spoke up.
"Well thanks Derrick for getting us into an even deeper mess!"
"How was I supposed to know that they had this thing rigged?" Derrick called through the door.
"Rule one of being in a war type situation, Don't just waltz into the enemy base, expect counter measures to be set up!" Max said as he strode up and stared at the door. "Anyone got any ideas?" He asked turning, "I know we have a few lasers."
"We had those set to stun because they could kill someone redeemer?" Belle said, "Though I'm now slightly wishing that we had let Calvin keep the lasers as is."
"Derrick, try and find a way to unlock the Security protocols!"Max shouted through the door. "Just try and find a control room!"
"Hey the lasers have dials on them." Sally said looking at one and then peering at the sets and she giggled. "only you Calvin, only you."
"The doors are sealed off in here, all of them!" Derrick called out and Belle's eyes went wide.
"Okay Derrick, stop yelling and try to stay calm."
"Uhhh what do you mean by that?""Derrick asked.
"Well since the doors are like this that means that the room might be...airtight."
"WHAT!?"
"I said don't yell like that you'll waste more oxygen!"
"Oh sure like that helps!"
"Hey guys." Sally said aiming a laser rifle at a wall, but no one noticed her, at least until she pulled the trigger.
CHOOOOOM!
Everyone's heads turned as the wall where Sally was pointing her laser exploded in a bright flash of light sending derbies everywhere. Stunned silence came over them for a moment. Then Altheia grinned and slapped Sally on the back.
"Alright Sally!" She said happily and then Belle checked her own laser and rolled her eyes before switching the dial and then the firing at the door where Derrick was, blowing it to the floor reveling a very stunned Derrick inside who gulped and then smooth himself out. "Took you guys long enough."
"it was only two minutes." Altheia commented, rolling her eyes.
"Alright everyone enough Chit chat, odds are they're alerting Ariel, we need to move!" Max said and he flicked the dial on his laser.
"Let's get this Climax rolling!"
A cry went up among the group as they began to race into the building, several agents opened doors but were then stunned by lasers from Altheia and Lobo as the team raced into the base.
"Where did they get lasers!?" One agent asked as he whipped out his stun gun.
"Who cares stun em!" Another cried when Max jumped forward and punched one of them in the face, the other agent was about to fire his tranquilizer when Belle smashed him in the head with the butt of her rifle, and then kicked him.
The agent who Max kicked threw a fist at him but then Max ducked as Sally fired another blast from her laser and him him square in the chest. As the group kept running while Epic music played in the background, Altheia flicked the switch on her rifle and then began firing toward the Security Cameras annihilating them as they went along, and firing at them when she could see them so the Agents couldn't track their movements.
As they came to a three way corridor Max grabbed Belle's arm.
"Everyone grab a partner and split up, whoever finds Calvin wins $5!"
"$5!?" Derrick said. "That's it?"
"I was joking."
"Well then in that case-"
"Just...find Calvin, Hobbes and BOS." max said with a sigh as they groups split up.
"You know you seem to be doing really well with this." Belle said and Max shrugged. "You have your job I have mine."
"I thought your job was a sniper."
"Yeah and how do you think I got THAT Job!?"
"Point taken." Belle siad as she and max raced down the hallway firing at the cameras.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
