| Chapter 7 I opened one eye and I took a look around the room. Kaela was bustling around in the kitchen. She came out and took a look at us, "I can't believe that Matrix is going out with her." She muttered under her breath. Before she said anything else I decided to get up. "I heard that." I snickered at her as I stretched and sat down on the lounge. Enzo still fast asleep rolled over and pulled all the blankets over him. "Heard what?" She asked pulling a fake innocent smile as if nothing happened, "I heard what you said about Enzo and me." "Yeah so?" "Well get used to it." I said standing up and walking over to her, "I don't have to listen to you. I can get any guy I want!" "Yeah well that record is going to be smashed!" I gave her an evil look and put one hand on my hip. "Are you picking a fight again AndrAIa?" Asked Enzo as her rolled over and opened his eyes. "No." "Liar." She said giving me a pathetic smile, "Ohh shut up Kaela!" "Make me!" "Will you two cut it out!" Bob walked in the living room wiping his eyes and yawning, "The Guardians could probably hear you a sector away with all this pathetic jealous stuff." He shook his head at Enzo and he smiled and walked over to join him, "Yeah." He said crossing his arms. We looked at eachother and pulled nasty faces at one another. "Now. We can't have any of this sort of stuff now, so shake hands and be done with it." We both looked at Bob helplessly and finally shook hands. "This isn't over." She softly growled at me, "It will be when I delete you." I replied and walked over to Enzo and put my arm around him and we walked away from her. "Come on! We've got to hurry. If a Guardian spots us we'll be imprisoned for sure!" Yelled Kaela as she waved her hand to signal us over. We ran as fast as we could as we were low to the ground. "Her hideout is just over there.." Kaela pointed to a set of large steel doors with a big fancy D on them. "Ok. There's two male guards, not Guardians though." Said Mouse after peeking around the building, "Probably voluntary. They're not infected, just loyal to Daemon." "Well how are we going to get in without blowing everything up?" Asked Bob. Dot smiled, "Distract them of course." All the girls laughed and the guys looked puzzled, "Wait here. And don't come charging out like a couple of rabid dogs." I said and with that Kaela, Mouse, Dot and I walked out from around the building pretending to chat and be pathetic women. We made our way up to the two men. We stopped and I walked up to one of them smiling, "Umm.. What.. Ah… what is your business here miss..?" One of the guards stammered as I twiddled my hair around my finger and stared into space, "Well me and my like friends are here to entertain those big important Guardians from yesterday. You see Daemon told us to get our bitmaps here and keep the guys like you know company because of the good like job they did yesterday killing that like sprite guy." I said battering my eyelids, "Yeah so like are you going to let us in or just stand there like statues?" Said Kaela as she too walked up to the other guard and winked at him. They both stammered and I turned and nodded at them an they drew their weapons. Kaela had a gun at the side of the guards head, I had a nails at the other guards throat and the other girls were standing close by ready. "Say one word and I blow your god damn brains out." Said Kaela as she pinned him to the wall. "You can come out now guys!" Called Mouse to Bob and Enzo. They came out from behind the building and their jaws nearly hit the ground. They walked up and smiled at us. Enzo pulled out his gun and I pricked the guy with a nail and he fell to the ground, paralyzed, "Lets go!" I yelled and we charged into the lair, having no idea what we were in for. We came to screeching halt as we entered the main part of the lair. Endless binomes and sprites with every kind of weapon you could think of were lined up, ready to fire, "Freeze! Or face deletion!" Called a binome. We had to.. We simply stood there, "Throw down your weapons." The binome commanded. We did as we were told. Several sprites circled us. None were Guardians, each picking someone to watch carefully, "I'll watch long legs here." A sprite said looking over at me. He pulled a gun and pointed it at my head. With action reflexes I shot my nails at him, he fell to the ground. Guns and prods were at me in a flash. One of the prods hit me in the side and I hit the ground. Everything was blurred but I remember seeing Enzo going for one of the sprites but that was it. I came around from what I figured out was an severe electric shock. I opened my eyes and saw Enzo looking down on me. He smiled and I sat up. I felt a huge pain in my side and I looked down to find a severe burn mark on my waist. I looked around, we were in a prison cell it was old and dusty. There were several sprite guards at the door and by the bars. The door opened and a Guardian came in. The rest stood at attention. She walked up to us, "Her majesty, Queen Daemon will now see you." She turned around and walked out.. A sprite turned to us, "Ok everyone up! And no funny business missy." He said looking at me. They opened the door and put handcuffs on us. They ordered us to walk out and we did. I tired the best I could but it hurt real bad to walk with my injury. We walked into a huge almost auditorium like room with purple curtains draped down everywhere. Guardians stood in what seemed like some sort of a rank system. There was a throne at the end of a red carpet with Turbo and the female Guardian we had met just before on either side of it.. We were ordered to stop and stand properly. Curtains drew in a corner and an elegant woman walked out. She wore a long purple dress with a satin trail that seemed to go for a mile. She had very long black hair and the only thing that told she was a virus was her glowing orange eyes that were cold and empty of emotion. She almost glided over and all in the room fell to their knees. Except for us. A sprite behind us knocked the backs of our knees and we feel forward. So then we too were obligated to bow. The virus sat down and looked up, "You may stand my children." She made a rising motion with her hand and they all stood up. The sprites pulled us up and took us closer to the Virus. My once always strong hope dwindled as we stood helplessly in front of her, "As you know, I am Daemon, ruler of this place and soon the entire net." "Not if we can help it!" Spat Bob disgusted with her self absorption, "Ahh yes. Guardian 452 and the renegade I see. Now my infection can be complete and then I can move on to your pathetic but bustling system you call Mainframe." We had to do something quick. I looked over at Turbo and I saw him wink. I thought nothing of it until I saw a knife in his hand. I gently and unnoticeably elbowed Bob who was standing next to me. He saw my glance and almost smiled. Within an instant Turbo had thrust the knife into Daemons head and she withered away to nothing, leaving her dress and trail behind. The infected Guardians instantly were cured. Leaving them a little stunned. The voluntary followers stood in awe and finally dropped their weapons and slowly left the building. Turbo ran over to us and undid our handcuffs. I rubbed my wrists and held my side. Turbo looked over at my side, "Hey! Get a medic over here. This lady needs some medical attention." Within a nano everyone was recovered from the infection and my side was bandaged and healing nicely. Everyone but Mouse was smiling. Bob offered Kaela a job in the Principal Office and she accepted. She smiled at me and I figured it was all over. Turbo congratulated us repeatedly even though were weren't even close to defeating Daemon. He also asked Enzo if he wanted to go to the academy. He said he'd think it over. We finally decided to go home. And we took the next portal back to Mainframe. |
