Chapter Nineteen: Better When I'm Dancing
I hope I am getting closer to them. Zelda thought, running. She then made it to another room and Negative Cree was there to greet her with tons of robots. "Whoa…" She said, staring at the robots with awe. "THEY ARE SO CUTE!" She admired the robots and ignored Negative Cree. "It is like looking at little gundums."
"We totally need to figure out what is Zelda's definition of cute?" Johnny said.
"Totally…" Richard said.
"I can't believe you defeated Maurice. What have you done with him?" She asked. I hope Maurice is alright.
"Don't worry. He is just tied up at the moment." Zelda said, turning to her opponent. "Hi Cree… I mean Negative Cree…"
"Don't talk to me like we are comrades." 'She said, pushing her glasses upwards. "Your journey ends here."
"Oh really but there is a door right behind you…" Zelda pointed out.
"You are not going to get passed me. These robots are design to copy and predict your moments so fighting them will be futile." Negative Cree explained. "So give up now."
"So they copy my moves." Zelda asked.
"Yes…"
"All of them…" Zelda said. "I mean every physical moment I make, they will copy and use it to predict my next move."
"Correct."
"Hmmm…" Zelda said, staring at the robots. She started moving her hands and the robots did it too. "It is like Simon said but with a bunch of robots."
"You would never reach Mistress and save your friends." Negative Cree said.
"Is that my big sister?" Abby said. "Her negative self is a nerd as well."
"Yeah that's right. Your negative self was a clumsy nerd." Hoagie said. "She was kind a cute." Then Abby hit him. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
"For being an idiot…" Abby said.
"Zelda is in a tight spot." Richard said.
"I wonder how she is going to pull this off." Gwen said.
"Hey Cree… I mean Negative Cree, do you dance?" Zelda asked, smiling.
"What? What kind of an idiotic question is that?" She asked. Zelda pulled out a speaker from her duffle bag and played a song. "What the…" Zelda started swaying her body and as she moved her body to the beat, the robots followed along.
Don't think about it
Just move your body
Listen to the music sing o yeah o
Just move those left feet
Go ahead get crazy
Anyone can do it sing o yeah o
Show the world you got that fire
Feel the rhythm getting louder
Show the world what you can do
Prove to them that you got the moves
I don't know about you
But I felt better when I'm dancing yeah yeah
Better when I'm dancing yeah yeah
We can do this together
I bet you'll feel better when you're dancing yeah yeah
Everyone that were trapped and caged were laughing that a bunch of intimidating and deadly robots were dancing alongside Zelda. It was like watching a music video or a music concert. "Well, this totally changes my view of robots." Hoagie said.
"Damn, Z making dance like cruddy girls." Wally said, laughing. "I can't stop… It is too much."
"I hope Zeddy can make them do some ballet moves." Kuki said.
"I can't believe we are actually watching Infinite fight." Abby said. "Well sort of…" Then Zelda pranced towards Negative Cree and grabbed her hand.
"LET GO OF ME!" She screamed. She was pull beside her and she was surrounded by dancing robots. "What can I do? I can't stop them from dancing."
"If you can't beat them, join them." Zelda said. "Come on dance with me."
"But I don't know how to dance." Negative Cree said.
"It is easy. Just move your feet and sway those hips." Zelda said, giggling. Negative Cree started moving her body. "That's the way but you have to be loose. Don't be afraid to show off."
When you finally let go
You say that solo
Cuz you listen to the music sing o yeah o
Cuz your confident babe
Your making hips sway
We knew that you can do it sing o yeah o
Negative Cree started stiff but when she got the hang of it, she was dancing along with Zelda and the robots. "I CAN DANCE!" Negative Cree cheered. "I CAN REALLY DANCE!"
"I knew you can do it." Zelda said, smiling.
"Leave it to Z to make friends with the enemy." Cree said, giggling.
"It is so like her." Maurice said.
"Somehow this doesn't feel like a rescue mission." Nigel said, letting out a sigh.
"Yeah, I agree with you." Chad said, letting out a sigh as well. Well, Infinite never took anything serious. She always saw everything as a game.
Show the world you got that fire
Feel the rhythm getting louder
Show the world what you can do
Prove to them that you got the moves
I don't know about you
But I felt better when I'm dancing yeah yeah
Better when I'm dancing yeah yeah
We can do this together
I bet you'll feel better when you're dancing yeah yeah
"WHAT THE HELL IS CREE DOING WITH THAT IDIOT?!" Negative Zelda screamed. "SHE IS SUPPOSED TO STOP HER NOT DANCE WITH HER!"
"You should go join her." Chad teased. "Oh wait, let me guess, you can't dance for shit."
"FUCK OFF!" Negative Zelda snapped.
Oh yay O x2
I feel better when I'm dancing
I'm better when I'm dancing
Yay
Oh yeah O
Feel better when I'm dancing
Yeah x2
Better when I'm dancing
Yeah x2
Don't you know
We can do this together
I bet you'll feel better when you're dancing yeah yeah
Zelda tossed a gas pellet to the ground and the whole room was filled with smoke. "What in the blazes is going on?" Negative Cree said. She heard slashing sounds from every direction and it gave her shivers. When the smoke cleared, Zelda was standing on a mountain of robots. "MY ROBOTS!"
"I know, I was crying when I destroyed them." Zelda cried. "They were too cute."
"I am the only one left." Negative Cree said, pulling out a gun from her lab coat. "Stay back… I will shoot."
"I am not going to hurt you." She said, moving closer to her.
"STAY AWAY! I WILL SHOOT!" Negative Cree screamed, shaking in fear. Zelda was in front of her and didn't bother to move away from her aim. "STAY AWAY! I AM ARMED AND WILL SHOOT!" Zelda patted her head and smile.
"Again, I won't hurt you." She said. "You look so much like my friend Cree. She is brave, bold, confident, smart and beautiful. You may be her opposite but I still feel that we are connected somehow."
"Connected?" Negative Cree said, lowering her gun.
"Yeah, you are my enemy now but I can't strike you even Negative Maurice." Zelda said, scratching her head.
"What? You have too. Didn't you do that to Negative Maurice?"
"Nope, like I said before he is tied up." Zelda said.
"Wait, so he is alive." Negative Cree said.
"Yeah, I am not a killer. Besides, I believe Maurice and Cree are destined to be together even their negative counterparts." She said, smiling. Negative Cree dropped her gun. Zelda put her speakers back in her duffle bag. "Well, I have to go now but can you do me a favor and head over to Negative Maurice."
"Sure…"
"Well, I am off." Zelda said. She walked passed her and made her way to the door. "Hey Cree… I mean Negative Cree, let's do this again sometime but without the robots." She left the room and Negative Cree fell on her knees.
"What just happened?" Negative Cree said. One minute I had her and now, what is she?
Zelda skipped her way through the halls and she noticed the cam-bot once more. "Hiya Negative Z…"
"You, how did you do that?" She snapped.
"Do what?" Zelda asked.
"YOU KNOW WHAT! HOW DID YOU BEFRIEND MY BEST OPERATIVE!" Negative Zelda snapped.
"You have to be nice, silly." She replied, smiling.
"What? That's it. No hypnotizer…" Negative Zelda asked.
"Nope, just kindness." She said, giggling.
"It is weird but true." Gwen said. "Zelda has a way of making her enemies her friends. She is so kind and happy that you can't help but be happy too. She did it with me."
"Same here…" Johnny said.
"Also me…" Richard added.
"Kindness is something you don't have." Chad said.
"I can be nice." Negative Zelda snapped.
"Oh really, so prove it." Zelda said. "Free everyone please."
"Of course I will… Oh wait a minute… I know where this is going." Negative Zelda said, glaring at her. "YOU ALMOST TRICKED ME!"
"Damn, I almost had you though." She said, giggling.
"FUCK YOU, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TRICK ME AGAIN!" Negative Zelda snapped.
"I don't know who is more naïve, our Zelda or her." Gwen said.
"Maybe it is both of them." Ruby said, giggling.
