Chapter 6: GEM vs. RR
Cosmos's POV
I wake up groggily and turn to look at the hovering clock next to my bed. "Why did I have to wake up at 3:30 a.m. Agh!" I groan. I stop mid-groan and listen carefully. There, not far outside, is a sound. There it is again. It sounds like...."Heat seekers." I murmur before flying out of bed and into Arch's room. Arch looks freaked out at me. I would too if my best friend runs in at 3 a.m. in his pj's. "Heat seekers. Coming." I gasp out and drag him to the window. Sure enough, there are GEM all around our HQ. They haven't found it yet, but it's only a matter of time before they do. Arch shoves me out of his room.
"Go change and wake the others. I'll get the amunition." he commands. I don't argue and run for it. In five minutes, I'm banging on the doors downthe hall shouting, "GEM attack! Wake up! Everyone report to your assigned locations." Sally runs out of her hopsital room, her hair dishelved, but her eyes are alert. I toss her a laser gun. "Help me wake everyone up. Then, I'll show you where to go." She nods and grabs something from her bag. It looked like an antique of some kind.
"Plug your ears." she says. I comply just as she presses the button on top. A blaring honk could be heard from the entire building. She does this twice, and I'm sure no one is asleep.
After the chaos of running to the assigned stations, the GEM finds the entrances and charges at it. Sally grabs her bullhorn and tapes the button down. Tossing the blaring horn into the enemy lines, she turns to Arch and waits for her orders. Arch ignores her to my annoyance, but she just shrugs and pulls out a camera. "Time to get proof of GEM's lies." I catch on to her idea.
"Wait, I can wire the entire security system to record this fight and every words spoken by the GEM. The citizens will soon know the truth." I tell her and run to the control room. The fight of my life ensues. Sally blasts the two GEM on the left and runs to me.
"We've almost got them running. I need to go to the armory and get something." Before I could reply, she runs off.
Sally's POV
I sprint as fast as my legs will carry me. Turning around the corner, I blasts my laser gun and knock a GEM unconscious. Jumping over his body, I skid to a stop in front of the armory. Pulling out some tools, I begins toying with the bombs that are there. After a while, I manage to adjust the mechanics a bit. I put it and several others into my pocket and run outside the building. I see the rest of the GEM outside of the building. Tossing the adjusted bomb, I duck back inside. Hearing the masive boom, I peek out of a window. The entire courtyard of people are all knocked unconscious. "Effective and non-lethal." I whisper excitedly. Soon, we are able to push the GEM back and out before firing up the engines and flying out of there.
Running into the control room, I watch as Cosmos takes out the CD...well...something that looks like a CD, smiling triumphantly. We then show Arch the CD like thing, and even he's impressed. Kelly scrowls at me though. I think it's because I'm Cosmos's friend, but oh well. I'm leaving anyway. I become a bit sad at the thought but remind myself that I belong in the past. Looking out the window, I press my hand against the bullet proof glass. "Hold on a little longer, Lil' Bro. Big Sis will be home soon."
