Chapter 8

They turned around and saw a guy and a girl standing on a rock.  They had their arms crossed and
were leaning against each other.

“Prepare for trouble!” the girl started.

“And make it double!” the guy continued.

“To protect the world from devastation.”

“To unite all peoples within our nation.”

“To denounce the evil of truth and love.”

“To extend our reach to the stars above.”

“Jessie.”

“James.”

“Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!”

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”

“That’s right!” they both finished.

“Say what?” Cloud said.

“Who are you clowns?” Chunli asked.

“Jessie, they don’t know us,” James whispered to his partner.

“Well then, we introduce ourselves,” Jessie whispered back.  “We’re Team Rocket and we’re here
to rob you, so hand your money over or anything valuable,” she ordered.

“You’re not robbing anyone,” Vegeta growled and blasted them to the sky.

“It looks like Team Rocket is blasting off!” Jessie and James yelled and faded out of the sky.

“That takes care of them,” Vegeta chuckled.

“Yeah, come on guys, let’s go,” Chunli said.

“Look, there’s no guards, this is creepy,” Cloud whispered to his comrades, pointing at the main
gate.

“Probably a trap,” Rick replied.  With that, they headed to the main gate silently and slowly.

“Still no sign of them,” Vegeta thought and opened the gate and ran to the base entrance.

“A door that is wide open, this is major weird,” Chunli shuddered.

“Quit complaining and let’s just go in,” Vegeta snapped.  They entered the building and it was still
empty.

“Say, I got an idea.  Why won’t we find the information center here and maybe we can find out
where the main base is,” Chunli said while walking in the empty halls.

“I wonder if The Turks are here,” Cloud thought and looked at Rick, his eyes were on Chunli.
Rick noticed that Cloud was looking at him and he knew that Cloud knew that he was staring at
Chunli.  He quickly took away his eyes from Chunli and putted on a serious look on his face.

“Look, that might be it,” Chunli cried as she saw a room filled with computers.  They entered the
room and Chunli grabbed her own computer and so did Cloud.  Vegeta and Arbok joined Cloud
while Rick joined Chunli.  “Let’s see, access main base,” Chunli whispered, typing words on the
key board.  “All right, the computer will show the information in a few minutes,” she cried
happily.

“Guys, I think you better take a look at this,” Cloud called out from the other end of the lab.

“Whoa, you have to be kidding,” Rick gasped after taking a look on Cloud’s computer.

“What is it?” Chunli asked.

“Look, they’re making robots and they’re planting bombs in them.  I don’t even recognize those
bombs,” Rick answered.

“Char,” Arbok hissed at Vegeta, his tail was pointing at the door.

“Someone is coming right?” Vegeta asked Arbok.

“Charbocka,” Arbok nodded.

“Guys, someone is coming,” Vegeta told his other comrades.  “Get ready.”  Cloud drew out his
sword while Rick prepared his wrist mounted guns.  Two familiar people entered the room.

“It’s you guys,” Chunli cried.

“What are you doing here?” Vincent asked coldly.  After that “conversation” sirens began to
blare.

“I think they’ve spotted us,” Dennis told his friend.

“No, they probably spotted these klutzes,” Vincent snorted.

“Who are you calling a klutz?” Vegeta growled.

“Look guys, we better get out of here,” Dennis interjected, knowing Vincent will answer back
and keep it going.

“They’ll spot us if we get out as a group...” Vegeta started.

“What we?” Vincent said.

“Knock it off Vincent, let’s go with them.  We don’t stand a chance against an army if we get
spotted.”

“All right.”

“Good.  Cloud, you go with these two.  Chunli, you can go with Rick and I’ll go with Arbok,”
Vegeta ordered.

“Who died to make you the leader?” Chunli asked sarcastically.

“Let’s just go,” Rick groaned and took Chunli’s arm and exited the room.

“Good luck,” Dennis said to Vegeta and ran out of the room with Cloud and Vincent.

“I’m glad we got out there,” Cloud sighed.

“Let’s hide in the forest until your friends find us,” Dennis suggested and ran to the forest.

“Hey guys,” Chunli greeted as she spotted Cloud and the others.

“Did Vegeta get out?” Rick asked.

“I’m up here,” Vegeta called out from above.  He let go of Arbok and levitated back on the
ground.

“You two coming with us?” Cloud asked Dennis and Vincent.

“Well, uh, um...” Vincent stammered.

“What he means is yes,” Dennis finished with a smile.
