CHAPTER FOUR
Wendy was shaking as much as Danny was, still holding her gun at him. "Say the words…!" she growled at him.
"You better do it kid. She's crazy enough to pull the trigger." said the priest.
"Ooh, ZIP IT!" shouted Wendy "…Or you so get the first shot."
The man whimpered in fear, but Danny gazed at the gun. Seeing his chance, Wendy was distracted. He grabbed Wendy's arm, and skillfully knocked the gun out of her hand, and he lunged for it, but Wendy- despite her attitude and personality, wasn't all-without moves and skills, and jumped on him. Then began to fight for control of the gun!
Danny didn't make any attempts to hurt Wendy, but still put up a fight for control. The gun fired several times, hitting the posters on the wall, the big mirror and just missing the minister. "Merciful heaven!" he cried and he prayed that this was all just a bad dream.
Meanwhile, Cathy tried to tell Jeremey that the Technolians couldn't be trusted. "Don't you get it? When they say "Break up the MBC, they mean "break us up into dust."
Jeremy was shaking a little, but still he remained strong trying to deny it all, and he programed a hot tub to appear "Jacuzzi? It'll help with the anxiety."
Cathy was really starting to lose her cool. "I'm serious! They'll try and destroy me, and the others, and anyone else who gets involved. They don't care if you paid them well."
"I'm sorry, darling, but if they did want to incinerate me, there would be some signs."
Suddenly, the virtual world alarms sounded, and the computerized voice called out "Warning! Intruders on the premises… Intruders on the premises…!"
"Intruders, on my grounds?!" snapped Jeremy.
"Ooh! It's happening!" cried Cathy "You've gotta get us out here."
As much as Jeremy was still skeptical, he decided to warp out and check things over, alone. "What…?! You can't just leave me in here!" snarled Cathy. "Oh, don't worry my sweet. I shall return. In the meantime, I planned a backup." He clicked his remote, and a VR-version of himself appeared, and held out flowers to Cathy, which further annoyed her.
Jeremy came out from his virtual pod, leaving Cathy unconscious in hers. He ran to the windows of his mansion and realized Cathy wasn't lying! Outside, some of the Technolians were stopped outside of the mansion's boundaries, blocked off by a force-field—Jeremy went all out to try and sure he wouldn't be disturbed by anything.
Sadly, the Technolians used their ray-guns to blast continuously at the shield, overloading it, causing it to blow out. "No!" cried Jeremy.
The aliens laughed. One of them even teased "These pitiful humans- I'm surprised they even know what a single bolt is."
Jeremy wasn't beaten yet. "No one shall take my sweet Cathy away." he said gallantly, and activated extra defenses in his yards…
Stun-guns, traps, and other things to ward off intruders, but the aliens managed it overtake and slip past every one of them, prompting Jeremey to try his defense laser chair, which he could sit in and operate just like a game. "Have at you!"
He charged the lasers to full and began to fire at the aliens, but again, to no avail. Their holo-barriers blocked his every shot, and with their plasma-whips, they sliced the weapons in halves, leaving Jeremy near petrified and running low on options. "Mommy!" he cried softly as the aliens got in closer.
Danny and Wendy were still struggling, and the gun fired a few more times, but finally Wendy had pinned Danny perfectly to the floor, and he couldn't break free, and she had the gun again.
She turned and thundered at the minister "You… finish it up now!"
Not wanting to argue, the poor man forwent Danny's vow. "I now pronounce you man and wife."
Danny, winced, and Wendy smiled sinister gazing down at him. She moved in closer until the tip of her nose was touching his. "You're all mine now." Danny tried to fuss, but she held him down, and leaned in closer to kiss him deeply…
When suddenly, KAPOW! A big explosion came from outside, shaking everything. Wendy was hurled off of Danny, dropping his wrist-come out of her pants in this midst. "Like, what now!" snarled Wendy "I am trying to make out with my husband!"
She raced to the window, while Danny slipped behind her and took back his wrist-com. It felt all warm and sweaty.
Wendy saw the Technolians slamming down all over her lawn, and began demolishing the hedges, the driveway, even the mailbox, just for warmup. "Okay, what are they doing here?" snarled Wendy.
One of the aliens could see her through the window, and fired a bazooka at the window, blowing off the entire wall, throwing Wendy back hard. "Hey! What is your problem?!" snarled Wendy.
"We just came to finish up duty." said the alien.
The poor minister didn't know how much he could take. "Oh, why didn't I become a park ranger like my mother wanted?" he groaned.
"I knew this was going to happen." Danny grumbled, and he transformed.
Wendy couldn't possibly have been more outraged in her life "You like totally blew up half my room."
"That's what we do." said an alien "We break things, just like we're about to break that boyfriend of yours that we delivered."
"Okay, like, what?!" snapped Wendy "First off: He's my hubby now, and second…" she raised her gun and fired, but it was all out of ammo from the struggle. "Uh, oh…!"
The alien's laughed at her foolish fluke, and then aimed their guns to fire at her, but Danny quickly dashed in. "Watch out!" and used his wrist-com to activate a small wall barrier around the area so the weapons couldn't penetrate, since the MBC gadgets were strong enough to combat their weapons.
"Danny, you like totally saved me!" cried Wendy. She acted all flirtatious, but Danny was far from amused. "It's your fault we're in this mess. I told you the Technolians couldn't be trusted!"
Wendy felt really stupid now, and the worst of it was Danny couldn't take on all those brutes on his own, and his shields wouldn't last forever. This was how the Technolians operated. First they broke up the teams by separating them, and thereby making it easier to gang up on them and break them!
He immediately called for backup. Chris and Sam answered and we're on their way. "What about Cathy?"
"It's okay, we know where she is." said Chris "John and Mr. S are going to save her."
Danny felt relieved, but he hoped Chris and Sam could get there in time, but more importantly, was Cathy okay?
