Chapter 169 - The Device

Age 1991

Okane stared at the kids as a scowl crossed its way onto his face. "Mr. One... Mr. Green... I assume you two can handle these kids?"

"We can..." Mr. Snow nodded. "Go and get the device. Make sure it isn't damaged. We will cover you."

"This fight will be over before you get back." The Samurai stated. "Go forward Mr. Green. That device must be found no matter what!" He announced.

"Got it..."

"You think I'm going to let you-" Max began only to be slapped away by One, the Samurai. He crashed a few feet away as Okane left. "Okay... I choose to let him get away, because it is my choice!" He announced.

"Nice save..." Irene said flatly. 

"Anyone else feel really outclassed..." Schutz asked pulling the long sword that rested on his side out. He raised it uondtepping in front of Bolin, and Reine. "Bolin! Protect Lady Reine no matter what!" He stated. 

"The only person I need to protect me is my darling Prince!" Reine announced trying to wrap her arms around Irene only for them to once again side step her causing her to fall flat in her face. "One day my sweet prince! I'll hug you!"

"Please don't..." Irene said feeling uncomfortable about how clingy the girl was being towards her.

"We're so dead..." Bolin hissed out.

"...So..." One said slowly. "These are Enforcers..."

"Quite childish... But even so. We won't underestimate them. Attack with full power One. Insure our victory."

"As you order sir!"

"Mr. Green. Leave us. We will hold out here."

"Very well..." Okane turned running down the hall once again. "Forget the damn lab..." He muttered turning the corner and heading up a flight of stairs. "I need to get Heather out of here." Be hissed. He whipped a small black credit card out slashing it through the air. "One Million Bells, for absolute speed." He announced suddenly zooming forward through the hall. He waved his hands out as several green coins flew forward blasting the door down as he slid into the room. "Heather!" He yelled entering his daughter's room. 

The fearful father stopped when he looked around not seeing his daughter anywhere. 

"What? Where the hell is she? Could she have left when she heard the commotion? Damn it... She must be somewhere in the house!" He gritted his teeth as be turned around. "This isn't good..."

Meanwhile...

Heather raised her arms up blowing the massive metal door, that was in front her down with a giant green crystal. 

She walked down the steps heading further into a large white room.

"Who... Who are you." Several scientists all backed up when they saw the girl blow the door down and enter the room. They all raised their hands up as she slowly walked forward.

"Apparently my dad, is hiding something in here," Heather said. She frowned slightly raising her hand up as a large crystal slowly began to form in the center of her hand. "I intend to find out what that is-"

"Don't hurt us, we'll tell you everything!"

The girl fell back, not expecting them to have just given up like that. "Aren't you suppose to put up some resistance or something!"

"No. We're Normal Humans! We bruise way to easily. You win!" They said. 

The girl sighed rolling her eyes. "Well... I'm kind of disappointed. I wanted to beat you up..."

"Oh please don't." The man whinned. "I really like living, and would love to not die. I will literally do whatever you want."

"This feels way to easy..." She folded her arms staring at them. "There's a device in here. I want it. Now."

One of the frog people, walked over to the wall. They pushed a button as it began to fold open and a tiny black remote, with a single red button on it, popped out. "Well here you go!" He said cheerfully handing it over. "And I get to keep living right?"

"...Wait... That's seriously it?" Heather asked taken aback. "That tiny remote? That's the thing everyone is after?"

"Yeah. Isn't science awesome."

"That's super lame..."

"Oh..."

Heather took the remote in her hands staring down at it. "Okay. So what's it do?"

"Wait you mean you don't even know?"

"If you're thinking of lying to me..." She warned. 

The man sighed folding his arms. "Well... It's a device designed to raise a lab out of the water. If you go to the city docks and press that button a massive ship will rise up. On that ship is a hidden lab filled with several experiments. The remote works by sending out an electromagnetic field that scrambles the ship's programming causing it to think it is taking on water, and rise up. This would allow you to board it." He said frowning. "Although you'd still need to fight through whatever group is on the boat..."

"These experiments... What are they?"

"I have no idea... All I know is they're bad... Apparently some child gene manipulation. The typical illegal stuff."

"Wait... There are kids in there." Heather slowly pulled the remote out staring down at it.

"Yeah. They're pretty crazy. Isn't science lame!"

She sighed as she held it in her hands for a few seconds thinking about what she should do with it. "I know what I have to do..." She said finally. "I'm going to-"

'Boom!'

The back of the wall exploded in a hail of flames as three people enter the room. At the led of the group was a man in a Jester's uniform...

The Organization has arrived...

"My my..." The Jester said looking around the room. "To think he actually had a place like this under his house..." The Jester muttered.

"It's filled with a lot of innocent people..." Bunt, the Jesters second in command said.

"Not for long..." Kaen, the number three-member stated, as flames began to trickle down his body. 

"Now now Kaen." The Jester said slowly floating off of the ground. "Let's make sure we don't break the device."

"Oh, crap..." Heather, and the Scientists, both said.
