Chapter 4: The plan

“Okay, so everyone’s clear on the plan?” Asked Jack Flash.
“Yeah!” responded the other three.
They set off towards the reactor room, or at least where they thought it would be. They were just guessing.
“Okay, remind me again, who has the TNT?”
“I do,” said Electrik.
“Good.”
They were planning to set a load of TNT for 2 minutes, place it next to the reactor core, and RUN. After a little bit of searching, they found the reactor room, labeled by its Authorized personnel only and DANGER: radiation signs.
“Okay, had me the TNT.”
Electrik was about to hand it over, when suddenly something hit it and knocked it out of his hand, and off the catwalk. He looked up.
“Not so fast,” said Terminator. By his side was Omicron and Black Jack, Jack Flash’s evil clone. And being Jack’s clone, he shared the perfect marksmenship.
“Don’t anybody make a move, or else someone’s gonna get hurt!” Yelled Black Jack, pointing his gun at the group.
“We certainly didn’t expect this, did we?” said Electrik.
“Now would you all exit this room, and we can have a little talk,” said Terminator.
Phoenix wing Leapt from the catwalk, onto a large tube hanging from the ceiling.
Black Jack fired. Something fell from the ceiling down into the white glow from the reactor core.
“As I said, nobody move! Unless you want to end up like your friend there.” Said Black Jack.
Suddenly, something started clanking. It sounded like someone pounding on a pipe.
“Eh? What’s up with the reactor?” Terminator said as he looked at the source of the clanking. It was one of the large pipes above them. Suddenly it fell, making a big hole in the catwalk that Terminator, Omicron and Black Jack were standing on. They were so surprised by the sudden drop of the pipe, they didn’t notice a figure darting onto another pipe.
“Omicron, see if you can see what’s wrong,” said Terminator.
“SCANNING.”
A few moments passed, then Omicron said “LIFE FORM DETECTED.”
Everyone looked up. They saw a dark figure running along a pipe towards the central pylon. Black jack fired again. The pipe the figure was running on fell, but the figure gabbed onto another pipe. It hung for a second, then swung itself onto a ledge on the central pylon.
“Get it! That’s where the plasma generator is!”
Black Jack fired again.
“You idiot! You’ve shot the generator!
The figure leapt onto the platform, pinning Black Jack.
“Whaaa??? I thought I shot you!” Said Black Jack.
“Funny how your eyes deceive you, isn’t it?” Said Phoenix Wing.
“WARNING, SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ACTIVATED. SELF DESTRUCT IN TWO MINUTES.” Said the ship’s computer.
Terminator and Omicron ran out of the room, and Black Jack flung off Phoenix Wing and did the same. Phoenix Wing followed them. The rest of the group ran out the other exit.
When the rest of the group caught up with Phoenix Wing, she had lost them. They ran back to their ship, and took off. At least they had destroyed his station.

A minute later, they watched the station blow itself apart. It was a very interesting scene to watch.
“Now we can head back to Carrotus, and- what’s that?
Everyone looked at the dot on the radar that was behind their ship.
“Strange,” said Electrik.
*BOOM!!!*
The ship rocked with the force of the explosion.
“What the heck was THAT?!?” Shouted Jack.
They looked out the rear. Terminator was in a ship behind them and chasing them to Carrotus!
“We can’t fight them out here, we need to get to Carrotus!” Yelled Electrik as another blast rocked the ship. “Full throttle!”
Even at full throttle, Terminator’s ship easily stayed right behind them. Electrik watched in horror as the shields rapidly dropped from all the laser fire. First 50%, then 40%, 32%, 24%, 18%, 17%, and 10%. Electrik looked up. Carrotus was in view!
“WARNING!!! WARNING!!! SHIELDS DEPLETED!” Blared the ship’s computer.
They were in Carrotus’s atmosphere now, and the titanium allow was doing its best to withhold both the friction from the atmosphere and the constant laser blasts. Finally, the atmosphere was behind them. But they still had to deal with Terminator.

There! That's the longest chapter I've written so far. I've included Phoenix wing, too!
