Chapter Six - Telepathy

In the laboratory, Matt Wu was being watched by these little 5 foot soldier creatures. He had been locked in a metal cage since yesterday, getting no water or food. The only other thing in the room was a small chalk so he could write on the ground. So far, he had been using it to make up an escape plan, but nothing was working out. Even if the metal bars broke, there would be 20 soldiers on top of him, armed with MP5's and Rocket Launchers. He sighed and watched as the bar opened. A sandwich was thrown at Matt, followed by the bars closing again. Matt greedily ate the food, but was still hungry and thirsty.

In the laboratory in the caves hundreds of miles away from Matt's location, the two greapers, Forelli, and the dinosaur were making something. "Fred." Greg replied hastily. "Will this work out to be a good idea?"

"Sure, "Forelli said, growling and blowing fire at the various mechanisms.

"Yeah." Fred replied, "once this satellite is made, the dragon's fire will be sent all over the world. The World will be in chaos. We can then come to power."

"How do we even know if this satellite will be good, or work?" Greg replied, using his powers to manipulate the energy within the circuits.

"IT WILL." Forelli growled, blowing a weak fire blast at Greg.

"The satellite isn't complete yet, but will in 30 minutes" Fred said, now annoyed with Greg's talking.

Matt sat in a cross-legged position in the laboratory of Gunta Town. He got another sandwich and took a nap in the cage. Matt knew that his powers were gone, so he was just dreaming of a way out. An idea struck him. Telepathy. Bonette said that he could do it after practicing a lot. Matt tried to communicate, but couldn't picture her. "What did she look like?" Matt said, racking his brains for an answer. His dream came into mind. Of course, Matt thought. With the picture, he sent her a message.

Bonette was at the Lightning House, talking to one of the new lightning benders. A signal came into her thought. "Hold on Mark." She said. HELP!! ITS MATT WU! I'M PRISONER AT GUNTA TOWN! FRED AND GREG, THE TWO GREAPERS HAVE IMPRISONED ME!!

"Mark, I'll be back. Lightning Business."

"Okay." Mark replied, not caring.

Bonette instantly came to the laboratory and zapped everything in sight. When she saw Matt, she glowed and shot a psybeam at the guards. One-hit KO. "Thanks." Matt said. "Fred and Greg went to the other laboratory."

"Which?" Bonette said.

"Don't know. Just overheard one of the guards.

Bonette went to one of the guards and snapped her fingers. The man woke up and tried to budge. She held him down and asked fiercely, "Where is the Two Greapers?"

"The one in the cave on Berdford Mountains." He said. The guard obviously knew Bonette, so he probably did not want to mess up with her. "Wait." The guard said, "How did Matt contact you? His powers are gone."

"Telepathy requires no power usage. Its a lightning power thats special."

Matt and the daughter of the Lightning Man arrived at the cave. "Do you have the key?" Bonette asked.

"No." Matt said. "My powers are gone."

"I know. Here, take some of mine." A shock went into Matt's body. He had temporarily some power. "Thanks."

Bonette touched the wall and watched as it melted to the ground. 12 men stood at the other end. When they saw Matt, they grabbed their guns and aimed at him. When they saw Bonette, they dropped their weapons and gasped.

Bonette roughly shoved and came to the door at the end. She pushed open the door and gasped. Matt ran to her and saw it.

The dinosaur. "Skiz." Matt said, nearly fainting.

"Hello Matt. Bonette." Fred said, a bit nervous.

"The dinosaur is alive. With him and Forelli..."Matt said.

"World will fall." Skiz said.

Fred laughed and jumped on top of Forelli. He was holding the satellite. Forelli and Fred flew up and dashed towards the sky.

"After him." Bonette said to Matt.

They started to fly, but were knocked off by Skiz. "Where are you going?" Skiz said. "Once they return, the world will fall. The Greapers power, Forelli's fire, and my strength will be the supreme." He said.

Bonette starred at Skiz while Greg threw both lightning benders into the prison cell.

Matt sighed.

Chapter Five - Hatched

The laboratory that stood at the end of the court was in flames; there was no sign of human life. In the middle of the burned lab was the room that held the dinosaur egg, but it was smelling of rot and muck. Two men stood at the table, but were dead, rotting in the flames. The computer room was still intact, playing the footage of the capture again and again. The two men in the computer were talking to the scientists. All of a sudden, the two strange men attacked the scientists and stole the dinosaur egg. The date at the bottom of the screen displayed in highlighted words was 4 days ago.

A man that was standing on the cliff miles away grinned mischievously and teleported to a cave hundreds of miles away. He walked into it, which was illuminated by candles and torches. At the end of the path was a wall. He pushed a button on the wall and placed the key in the dented slot. The wall gave away to a room with people socializing and sleeping.

"Hey Fred..." One of the things said, "So?"

"Everything is destroyed, so I came back to check on the Egg, Greg."

"Cool, "Greg replied. "Whose watching Matt?"

"My minions."Fred replied hastly.

Greg followed as the two went to the back of the room, where there was a small little button on the wall. Fred pushed it and placed his hand on the finger scan. "Fred Tylersoksch. Greaper. Age 534. Enter." The machine said. Fred entered, followed by Greg, who did the same fingerprinting analysis.

The wall gave away again to a small dim-lighted room with 5 people in the middle, huddled around an egg.

"Well?" Fred said to the man in the middle, obviously the leader of the scientists.

"We need more time." He said nervously to Fred, looking down to the ground.

"MORE TIME!!!" Fred roared, kicking the man in the chest. The leader of the scientists fell to the ground and whispered, "We need lightning so we can add it to the hydrogen in that bottle. When the lightning and the hydrogen particles mix, the solution in the bottle will turn the color red. Pour the red liquid on the egg to hatch it."

"We don't have lightning." Greg said. "We dumped Matt's in the nuclear preserve 1 mile from here."

"In what?" The scientist said, still rubbing his stomach.

"In a bottle." Fred replied, suddenly brightening up. "We can go and steal it."

"Go by nighttime...the guards are gone by then." The scientist replied, very bored at the moment.

The moon was out today, but hidden with the overlooking trees. 2 greapers darted from trash bag to trash bag, staying away from the moonlight. "There." Fred said, talking to Greg. The bottle of lightning was 50 feet away, but in the new section. A guard dog was overlooking the area. It was unleashed, unfortunately. Fred immediately walked against the wind, so the dog wouldn't smell him. Fred snapped his fingers and reappeared behind the dog.

The dog, key on his collar, turned around and growled. Fred froze. He couldn't use his power, for the moon was now over him. "Greg!"

Greg, since was under the trees, used his magic to make a bone made of tuna and chicken. The dog couldn't smell it, though. Fred started to run, with the dog on his tail. Greg used his powers to trap the done in a fenced pit. He then threw the bone in the pit, in which the dog ate almost greedily.

The potion was activated, in which the dog fell into a trance, snoring and sneezing. It fell unconscious. Fred jumped into the pit and grabbed the collar around its neck. The key was soon in Fred's hand. He then proceeded to the gate when the sound of a whistle was heard.

Dogs from miles around started to bark and howl. "FRED!" Greg replied.

Fred was already at the gate, and placing the silver illuminate key into the slot where it belonged. The gate creaked and the electrical beams vanished. Greg reappeared next to Fred, now that the moon was behind the cloud and the beams vanished. Fred and Greg both raised there hands at the same time. The electric container immediately came into Fred's hand, while a shock barrier surrounded them, thanks to Greg that is.

Before any of the dogs were on them, the two disappeared, leaving no trace but the scent behind.

They reappeared at the Lab Room. "Did you get it." The leader of the scientists said.

"Yes. FORELLI!" Greg replied.

The dragon appeared in half a second, and looked at the two. "Ghdhjnkrs?"

"Dhdfkl." Fred replied.

The dragon nodded and proceeded to watch. The beaker was already red, so the two carefully poured it on the yellow looking egg.

They waited. Finally, after 3 minutes, a small dinosaur roar was heard. The ancient dinosaur Skiz had come to life.

Skiz roared, and grew rapidly. After a minute, it was 13 feet in height.

"World Domination!" Skiz said to Fred, Greg, the leader, and Forelli.

Chapter Four - Lost

Matt was on a stairway... shattered in his thoughts in complexity and serenity. He was alone, with no signs of life. It was all dark and lonely... and cold. There was a door on the top of the last step, that seemed to breathe with life. He pounded up to the top step, nearly tripping. He felt weak and dizzy at the same time. He opened the door and fell into darkness, reappearing on the stairway again. Instead of climbing to the top, Matt just fell off from the balistray, only appearing in the same place yet again. "Where am I?" Matt cried. He couldn't think nor speak.

He ran to the top and opened the door. This time there was a garden, with flowers and plants everywhere. He jumped out and came to the picture. Bees and pollen were flying around, causing Matt to sneeze. He could barely hear his own breath. Matt closed his eyes and found himself next to a woman Matt never saw before. The more he stared at her, the clearer she became. She does look familiar...

"Bonette..." Matt said, taking in a breath. The oldest lightning bender in the world, and daughter to the lighting man who died hundreds of years ago. The lady was still not responding but looking straight ahead. Matt turned in her direction and saw another door that appeared out of no where. Matt rushed to it and came to a labratory. He looked at himself and saw that he looked older. More mature. A second later he was back to normal. Matt fell and sobbed bitterly.

That did it. He woke up and found himself on a hard uncomfortable couch. He was dreaming this whole time. Where was he now. Matt explored his environment and saw to his dismay that he was not home, but in a laboratory. Test tubes were everywhere, containing samples of liquid Matt didn't even want to look at. A huge electric beam was holding Matt into place do he could not move. A plate with aged cheese was next to him, for food probably. He was hungry, so he took a nibble. A spasm instantly hit him. Hunger. He ate faster until he was full.

Matt then saw shadows on the other side of the doorway. Matt quickly hid under the blanket that kept him warm. Additionally, he pretended to sleep, making snoring sounds and occasional grunts. The door barged open and a man appeared, dressed in a black robe. He looked familiar in looks...

The idiot is still asleep." The thing said with a hoarse whisper. Matt instantly knew who it was. The thing that took me. Fred, or Greg. Fred or Greg made a quick examination on Matt and closed the door behind him, leaving Matt once again in the darkness. As Matt moved his legs to make himself confortable, he touched a sharp object. "Ah." Matt said, forgetting to whisper. Silence again. Matt, relieved, bent to touch the object. It was a rubber band with a peice of metal on it. Matt looked at the electric beam and smiled. Rubber and electricity don't go together...

Matt was free from the beam. After stretching for 10 seconds, he placed a few objects under the blanket so it looked like he hadn't moved. Matt crept to the door and looked through the small window on the top. Matt was at the end of the hallway, and it seemed to turn left to something else. No other rooms were next to him. Matt opened the door. Locked. Matt attempted to use his lighting power, but it didn't work. "What?' He tried a few more times. Nothing.

Matt then tried some of his other attacks. Nothing worked at all. He had no electric powers. Matt was forced to find another way out, but finding none, he slouched on the couch. What was he supposed to do now? An idea him. The lock was locked, but not the door. He rushed up to the door and slid his fingers along the hinges. The door fell to the floor with a soft clang. Matt walked briskly down the long hallway until it was time to make the left turn. Peering around the edge, he saw that there was another hallway proceeded with a left turn yet again. Again, he couldn't fly. Furious, Matt ran to the end and looked over to the left. There, is where he saw the exit... guarded by Fred and Greg. He could now tell the difference. They each had necklaces with their names on it. Fred was talking to Greg when his eyes met Matt's.

Fred roared, "Sieze the enemy!" Guards ran through the exit with MP4's in their hands. However, they were loaded with rocket launchers. Matt gulped. "If you don't comprimise, we'll open fire." Greg said, edging foreward to the spot Matt stood. Matt raised his hands in the sign of mercy. Without his lightning, he was hopeless. The guards seized his arms, gun aimed at his neck. Matt looked over and saw a sword in the hand of an enemy. Matt quickly used his muscles and broke free. He took the sword and slashed at the enemy. It died in a gasp of sweat. Greg and Fred disappeared, leaving Matt with a hundred guards armed. "OPEN FIRE!" Greg roared through the speaker.

Matt ran back the way he came, his attackers close on pursuit. When Matt turned the right, he threw the sword behind, slitting 5 in the mouth. Matt took the door and threw it behind him. Now he was trapped. The guards nudged one into capturing Matt. The rocket launchers equipped on each one looked deadly. Matt groaned and followed them, head low. He wasn't going home today...
