Kayla rolled her neck. It popped twice. She then stretched her arms. She bends forward and touched her feet as her green hair touched the ground. She then stood up and looked at the rest of the group that were around her.
Steph, Bri, Brianna and Liz were freed from their bonds and were standing with Kayla. They too were stretching to get the blood flowing. They had their butts handed to them by JJ’s group. They had allowed JJ’s group to best them but they did not intend on being bested like they were.
They had moved out of the hallway and made their way to the throne room in which was a mess because of the JJ’s visit. It was in need of some straightening up. No one that was in the room had the want of cleaning up. They just wanted to be done with the day instead it seemed the day was just beginning.
Will was talking to Dill at the moment.
Bri pulled her hair back and put it up in a scrunchy and said, “I don’t know what to do with this hair. It has a mind of its own.” She laughed. “This is the only way I can keep it from touching random people. It likes touching others just because and I like it not to do that as often as it does. So I have to try and confine it. It’ll get annoyed though.”
Steph reached out and touched the red hair and then pulled her hand back. She said, “Wow that’s weird feeling. I don’t know if it’s a good feel or a bad feel.”
“You like to cop a feel huh Steph,” said Kayla smiling.
“Yes,” said Steph, “I like coping feels just call me Will.”
All the girls laugh.
“That is more true than funny,” said Liz with a snicker. She popped her fingers as she took a deep breath. “What do you think they are talking about?”
Brianna looked over at Will and Dill and said, “Must be a mission. Do you know what time it is? It’s late. I’m tired. I need that beauty rest. This constant fighting is stupid. Boys and their powers.”
“True,” said Kayla, “boys like to show off who has the bigger whatever it is.”
“Boys can be hot though,” added Liz which offered nothing to the total point of the conversation.
“No one is denying that,’ said Bri.
“Well,” said Liz shrugging her shoulders, “that’s all I know about boys.”
“You should spend less time with Will and more with other males who are less boy and more man,” said Steph. “Though I think men are a myth.”
“It would seem so,” said Brianna as she looked over at Will. She then said, “Here he comes.”
Will was walking over. Dill had flown off back towards where Andy was located. He had moved away from Jeff’s Nap Tomb to his lab.
Will came to a stop in front of the girls and sighed. He said, “I know, I know you want to get beauty rest but that’s just not going to happen for a couple of more hours.” He paused.
“Couple,” Liz whined.
“Why do you care you already look dead,” Will said then he stuck his tongue out.
“Soon your jokes won’t be as jokey as you’d hope them to be,” said Liz as she smiled half heartedly. “Continue with what it is you have to say, boy.”
Will made a confused face and continued, “There are disturbances at BS City and we are being asked to go and stop it.”
“By who,” said Brianna as she placed her hands on her hips.
“They don’t know who is causing the trouble,” Will said.
“No,’ said Brianna, “not who is causing the problem but who is sending us.”
Will hesitated and then said, “Andy.”
“Andy,” Steph said shocked. “He’s nothing but a smart idiot. Why is he in charge all of the sudden.”
“Yeah,” said Liz, “where is Jeff?”
The girls encircled Will as they awaited the answer.
Will looked a little defeated when he said, “It seems Jeff had requested that Andy take his spot while he naps.”
“Why so defeated,” said Kayla. “You didn’t want that job did you?”
Will rolled his eyes and said, “Of course not. I am not a power seeker.”
“Yes,” said Liz snidely, “that can be seen by your being a mayor of BS City as well as being part of the tribunal. I’m sure your humble self made that possible.”
Will ignored her. He then said, “Well apparently we are being invaded by The Cult who happened to be from
“The Cult,” said Steph, “that sounds exclusive.”
“We are going to take one of the Glooms so let’s go,” said Will as he headed out the side door of the throne room which would lead them to the Gloom Hanger.
Gray rocketed towards Ran Dumb Bar and busted through a wall. He landed and turned and looked to see the other Gray’s busting up other bars in BS. The smoke bellowed up into the night sky. People were yelling and complaining. Several shouts were calling Gray a JJ minion. Gray laughed at the statement.
He stopped rocketing around and he left Ran Dumb standing but he rather it had fall. The destruction was enough. He said, “Alright other Grays let’s stop.”
The other Grays rocketed over to him and landed in front of him. They were all covered in debris. They were talking to one another.
“Hey this was fun,” said one Gray.
“I like this,” said two Gray. “I think we should make this something we do often. I mean this is like wooohooo fun right Gray?”
“Fun yes,” said Gray. “But I’d have to say JJ’s brain in my body is…well…not hot.”
“You’d be attracted to your own self,” said three Gray making a face.
“Well,” said Gray, “look at me why shouldn’t I?”
The other Grays just stared at him and did not say anything. Then they started laughing.
“That’s a bit rude,” said Gray. “Alright,” he said seriously, “we have to wait now. We’ve caused enough destruction. Keep your eyes open.”
They all nodded.
“Come on down,” said Cathy as she pointed where she wanted
Cathy looked at him and said, “Can’t you hold it I’m all excited right now. It’s like a flood down there.”
Cathy bought it. She pointed him in the direction of the restroom. He excused himself and went inside. Cathy flipped on her stomach and crawled her way to the nightstand on the side of the bed. She pressed a button on the speaker and said, “How is Adin doing?”
“Not,” said Haxot. “He’s not doing.”
“Okay,” said Cathy, “what exactly does that mean?”
“It means he’s failing,” said Haxot. ‘I’m glad you sent him out there it’s actually amusing.”
“You should die soon just so I can laugh,” said Cathy as she hit the button again. She turned around and lie on her back. She waited. Then she huffed.
She rolled off the bed and went to the bathroom door and knocked. She said in a sweet tone, “
No answer.
Her tone turned more sinister as she pulled the communicator out and demanded him to come out.
Nothing.
She then raised her arms and the door busted open. No one was in the bathroom. She looked around. She looked behind the shower curtain. She screamed in frustration when she saw the window and how it was wide open. How did this happen? He is supposed to be under control? She threw the communicator on the ground and smashed it with her mechanical leg.
She hit the button with a wave of her hand and shouted, “Get Adin. We are leaving via Kelly and we will have SCN by morning.”
Meg hands were up in the air as she formed a force shield blocking the oncoming attacks of the Lurkers. They would lunge and try to bite with their huge jaws that were underneath a massive exoskeleton plate that covered their massive head. Their tails had two sharp horns on them. They could penetrate the skin and inject an egg. If it works out right the body they inject would be come the host body. Meg transmitted all this information by way of Josh who relayed it all telepathically to everyone else.
“They really stink,” shouted Fonz as he dodged from an oncoming attack. Not realizing that he was under attack from another angle his foot that has the broken toe got hit. He screams out in pain because the strength behind the Lurkers was undeniably strong. He fell to the ground.
“Fonz,” shouted Tina. She dodged her way over to him and screamed to keep back several Lurkers. She was looking over his leg when she was hit in the upper shoulder by one of the lurkers. She hit the ground where a rock bruised her abdomen. She groaned.
“Hold on,” said Dom as he traveled under ground. His fist popped up and hit a Lurker and mad it bowl over several other Lurkers. His body pulled up above the ground he hit other Lurkers to keep them away from Tina and Fonz.
Meg, Josh, Anthony and Alan made their way over to Dom to help him.
A tail swung around out of nowhere and hit Dom across the face. A deep cut made his face leak blood. He quickly turned and hit the Lurker away with the back of his hand. He then hit another with his other hand. He was making a Lurker beat down until one bit a chunk of his fore arm. He then grabbed hold of his arm with his other arm and fell to the ground in his human form. He started to breath heavily.
“Don’t worry,” said Meg as she stood in front of him, “I’ll keep you from them.” She erected a shield. He was holding.
Alan was knocking them all over the place with his brute strength and since his skin was tough the Lurkers were having a difficult time breaking through causing him no pain. He tried to knock back as many as he possibly could but the kept coming at him from all directions. He was becoming overwhelmed.
Anthony was firing his cosmic blast all through the tunnel. He would hit a Lurker and it would lose several legs but it would only make it angry which in turn made the others angry.
“This is like an angry army of women,” said Anthony. “I am trying to live and all they wan to do is suffocate me with their screaming and whining.”
“How chauvinistic of you,” shouted Meg as she was straining under the constant attack on her shield.
“I’m glad to be gay,” said Josh, “I don’t have to deal with this type of whine.” He tossed the Lurkers here and there. He was really trying to keep them away from him but he was weakening after each toss. He did try to reach into their minds but that was a mistake. He felt an evil within them he could not fully explain nor had he ever really felt before. He pulled out before it consumed him.
Eight Lurkers jumped on Josh. He was pulled to the ground. Still cocooned in his shield he tried to fight them off. His telekinetic powers were not as strong as they have been and with the wings paralysis still in play his fighting chance was dying with every hit on his shield. Meg was busy protecting the injured. Anthony was becoming consumed himself and Alan was being overtaken even if he could not be harmed he could not make it out of the gang of Lurkers that had him under attack. Josh was on his own.
He felt a surge of energy forming form the very core of him. But before he could harvest the new found energy they broke through and one of the Lurker’s tails forced its way through Josh’s gut and injected him with an egg. Once that was done they jumped off of him and went after everyone else.
Josh found it hard to breathe let alone send out telepathic message to someone so that they could at least dig out the egg. They could do something to help him live longer. He did not want to be a host for an alien life form. He was too hot for that. He held his stomach that did not have a hole in it. It felt like there would be a massive hole since the tail went through him.
Anthony had a burse on his head and he lay on the ground after a Lurker head butted him. Meg pulled him into the shield with her power but her shield was dying. She looked and saw that Josh was not being attacked but was on the ground. She worried. Alan was not seen because the Lurkers had him under a dog pile. They were trying to ware him out then they would come after her. She just knew it.
Lightning flashed from all corners of the cave and someone yelled, “STOP.” The Lurkers came to a complete halt. Meg turned to see it was Adam. He stood off further down the tunnel with his hammer in the air. “Leave them alone.” The Lurkers scattered like cockroaches when the kitchen light comes on.
Adam walked up to the group and by the time he reached them there was not on single Lurker left. He said, “What the hell are you doing down here?”
Meg said, “We were just traveling to Jeff’s.”
“I’m not stupid,” said Adam as he looked her in the eye. “Were you not with Will’s women?”
“Yes,” said Meg with a weak smile.
“I don’t really care what you’re doing down here but it’s apparent you were not prepared for what was lurking around,” he slightly smiled at his own bad pun.
Meg gasped and then rand towards Josh who was on the ground still. She looked him over and saw he was injected with an egg and asked, “Are you alright?”
Josh opened his eyes and then stood up. He was shocked and said, “Looks like I’m better than alright.”
“No you’re not,” said Adam as he pointed at Josh’s stomach. “You have an egg inside you.”
“But I can walk,” said Josh. “I can walk and that is a good sign.”
“A minor gift,” said Meg. “The egg needs your body to be in top shape so it’ll heal you before it takes over.”
“Thanks,” said Josh, “now I’m scared.”
Meg patted him on the back. Fonz and Tina were groaning in pain. Anthony started to moan as he rolled on his stomach to get up off the ground.
Alan walked over and said, “We are safe?”
“For now,” said Adam. “I’m able to call them off but once I leave you’ll be in danger again. Meg should turn you all invisible and you can make it to Jeff’s without them seeing you. Though they’ll be able to smell you that won’t bother them too much. Why are you going there?”
“Kel and Kenny are being held captive,” said Meg.
“Lucky you,” said Adam. “Once you get out of the tunnel the area they are being held in is right there. Good luck.” He turned and walked away. He does not really care what goes on from here on out. He is going back to SS City and he is going to relax God Style.
Meg got Alan to carry Fonz and Tina. Anthony was held up by Josh who was able to walk himself. Meg held on to them and they turned invisible and to the end of the tunnel they went.
“Leave the Lurkers alone Josh,” she said, “please.”
“You better believe it,” said Josh. “I’m so going to die.”
“That’s the thinking they want you to have,” said Meg.
