" James prepare for battle, today we are going hunt down a Terror Minion " said a 11 year old golden-blonde haired girl while strapping a 42 cm long steel pipe on her." um..okay " 11 year old James replied meekly.
" Trisha, James is my patient now, I need to fix his ugly Mug. you go find some one else to hunt your Imaginary Terror Minion" said green eyed, chestnut colored hair girl wearing a over sized white lab coat, the coat seem different from normal coat, it was some how strong as steel but soft as wool at the same time, this was achieved by using nano threading.
" whats wrong with James face, he looks nice." said Trisha looking at boy with his face wrapped in what closely resembled toilet paper and continued "besides, this time we are going to hunt real Terror Minions. "
" stop kidding yourself, there are no Terror Minions in the city and there is no way uncle Ron would allow you to cross city wall, so how are you going to hunt a real Terror Minions. " sneered Ava
" My old man told me that there is a Terror Minion Hiding in the sink hole near 27th block and not to go there. " Trisha paused and unstrapping the pipe for her back she swung it in a awe-springing manner as she said " Come my comrades lets show these old fogies how to hunt a Terror Minion. "
" Um..Trisha don"t you think fighting Terror Minions will be dangerous and it will definitely make Uncle Ron really mad " opposed James weakly.
"let me worry about my father James and how many time do I have to remind you to address me as Captain. " said Trisha.
" Trisha I am James"s Captain, why should he call you Captain." said Ava
" Because I am your captain " said Trisha shamelessly
" you ... you can not Just shamelessly proclaim yourself as someone"s Captain, Trisha. And there are no way a Terror Minion can enter the city under the protection of the City"s Anti Terror array. " said Ava
" you are one to talk, you just shamelessly proclaim yourself as my Captain " thought James but he did not dare to voice it out.
after another 15 minutes of this,
" whatever, I and James are going to the sinkhole near 27th block " said Trisha as she pulled James by his wrist.
" When did I agree to go with you " shouted James Inside his head.
" okay, then I will go straight to Auntie Jean " threatened Ava
Hearing Ava"s threat James sighed in relief but Trisha sneered and said " then I will tell James what you write about him in your diary. "
"yo..you! promised me you will keep it a secret " exclaimed Ava, for some reason her checks and ears turned hot red. " Fine, I will also go and laugh at you when there are no Terror Minions in that sinkhole. "
" okay , to the sink hole then. " shouted Trisha with enthusiasm. James shook his head in disappointment and followed them.
City Z31, Area R1, 27th Block,
27th block is one of the oldest part of the city, it does not meet the current building code policies and is set for demolition soon. since it is to be demolished soon the whole block is deserted and is in very poor condition, making it look like a ghost town.
Three Kids could be seen standing at the edge of the about 14 meter wide and 6.3 meter deep sinkhole,
" See, I told you there is no Terror Minion here. " sneered Ava.
Trisha frowned and looked at the darkness of the sinkhole and said " it should be hiding inside under the darkness, Lets go down. "
" Are you crazy it so dirty down there, we can"t go down there, mom will scold me if I dirty her lab coat. " protested Ava.
" Okay you stay here, come on James let"s go " having said that Trisha went down to the sinkhole using the slopes formed from collapsed asphalt roads and concrete walls without giving James a chance to sound his opinion. James again shook his head and looked at Ava and said " we will be back soon, wait here. " then he rushed down behind Trisha.
After Trisha and James left, Ava looked at her surrounding, she could not help but fear looking at the old abandoned buildings and the deserted streets filled with potholes and rain water. she then felt a cold wind pa.s.s by, Ava jumped up in fright as she shouted " wait up guys, I have changed my mind I will also come. " and then rushed in the direction Trisha and James left.
Down In the sinkhole,
" James, I cannot see anything, do you see anything " said Trisha as she looked at the darkness in front of her.
"Its dark here, there is no natural light down here, of course you cannot see anything, turn on the flash light in your smart watch... " said James a little annoyed.
" hehe, this is why I keep you in my team James " said Trisha with a silly laugh.
"Okay, you take that side and I will take this side and lets lure out the Terror minion " said Trisha after turning on the flash light in her smart watch.
" no need to search, there is no Terror Minion hiding in here. lets head back Ava is alone out there. " said James flashing light over the green moss growing on collapsed debris.
" How do you know that for sure. " questioned Trisha.
" you really do not pay attention in the cla.s.s do you, look at the mosses growing all over this place, if a Terror Minion had been here then these moss would have died long ago. " explained James.
" haha, James keep it up one day I may promote you as my vice captain. " said Trisha and looking around then she add " Jame how do you feel about this place"
" why do ask? " James squinted at Trisha.
" just ans.... " before Trisha could finish, they suddenly heard a scream " AaaaHH!...."
" Ava!! " Both James and Trisha did need to guess who"s scream it was, they did not think for a second and just rushed towards the direction where the scream originated from.
What greeted their sight was a wet and soiled Ava who seemed to be repeating " No! No! No! No!... mom is going to kill me"
" Ava are you alright, What happened? " asked James as he approached her.
Earlier, Scared Ava who rushed to follow James"s track did not bother to watch her steps and stepped on her own over sized lab coat, losing her balance she rolled down in to a algae filled water puddle while scream for her life.
Looking at Ava who looked like a homeless dressed in a wet and soiled oversize lab coat Trisha could not hold back her laugh " Ava you look beau..haha .. ti.. full...ha HA ha...ah! "
Hearing Trisha"s laugh Ava snapped and pounced towards her as she shouted " it"s you .. its your fault.. always getting me in to trouble.... today I will settle this once and for all, you little blonde she-devil. "
Seeing Ava pounce at her with a intent to fight, Trisha was no vegetarian, she positioned herself ready to tackle Ava.
Although they are just 11 years old"s, All of them were practicing combat since they were 6 year old, each of them could dispose a 10 men mob easily. even though Trisha is not good academically she was top of the cla.s.s in combat and physicals. she is not the one to hold back, when Ava neared her she skillfully got behind Ava with insane speed, Tripped and pushed Ava to the ground and grabbing hold of her arms she sat on Ava"s back immobilizing her. annoyed Ava struggled very hard to get Trisha off and stand back up. Trisha not realizing how Ava was feeling, she said " give up you cannot defeat your Captain "
" you are not my Captain, you keep calling yourself captain, do you even know what it is to be a captain. Captain are supposed to keep members out of trouble all you do is get me and James in to trouble, I hate you, I hate you. " cried Ava.
" you hate me... " Trisha was shaken hearing this and loosened her grip on Ava. Ava pushed Trisha down and got up and she shouted again" yes, I hate you "
James who was watching from the side ran over, " enough Ava " then looked at Trisha who was still sitting mindlessly on the ground, " Trisha!, Ava did not mean it, she was just angry that"s all "
Trisha did not seem to hear him. Seeing James console Trisha, she shouted " James why do you always take her side, all she does is always get us in to trouble "
Ava still wanted to shout but seeing James"s stern face she just got annoyed and started hitting the debris next to her.
The debris were barely standing with each others support and with Ava"s disturbance they stared to loosen.
" Ava stop! " reminded James
" what! now I am not even allowed to hit stones " with her increasing anger Ava strike"ed with full strength, enough for the debris to start collapsing.
Seeing this James cursed " fish! .. hurry get out of here. " Ava did not need James"s reminder she rushed to the exit.
" Trisha snap out of it, we need to get out now, get up! " James pulled up Trisha, seeing the debris collapse Trisha followed James lead and rushed to the exist.
Soon they caught up with Ava who seemed to be pulling the lab coat struck in a rod sticking of a debris, " Ava leave the coat, ... No! Ava watch out .... "
Seeing Ava"s foolish action of risking her life for a coat, James shout " Ava leave the coat" but Ava did not seem to care she just pulled the coat harder... then James saw the Asphalt above Ava started to crumble and screamed " No! Ava watch out... "
When James thought he lost Ava, he saw a sudden blur near her which pushed her out of the danger, the blur was Trisha, even though she pushed Ava to safety, she did not have enough time to escape herself.
" Trisha!!!.... "
.....
Apelin Hospital, Emergency ward, Emergency operating room,
" Doctor, How is she?, is my little baby okay? "asked a middle aged man in a ancient azure knight armor beside"s him were 7 others who eagerly looked at the doctor.
The man in Azure Knight armor was Ron O"Hara, besides him were Jean O"Hara, Harry and Kelly Meyer, Joseph and Marie Alpucchi along with James and Ava.
" she is out of danger and stable, thanks to her Pa.s.sive ability or even I would have hard time keeping her alive. " said the Doctor, the man in the armor and the 7 other sighed in relief," but, there are some complications. patients left arm , her left eye and ear are completely crushed in the accident, as I said before if not for her Pa.s.sive ability or even I would have hard time keeping her alive even with all the advanced tech"s and methods at my disposal."
Hearing this the temperature in the hospital corridor decreased significantly, Ron completely lost his balance. Jean O"Hara asked " can we see her doctor "
" yes, she has been shifted to the ICU you can visit her now, but only 2-3 people at a time, please understand and by the by which one of you are James and Ava, the patient asked to see them before everyone else. " said the Doctor.
James and Ava came forward with tear stained faces and with their head down, then they looked at Ron, seeing him nod they entered the ICU.
Seeing James and Ava enter the ICU, the Doctor said " you can obverse and listen for that room, we mostly use it for radiation patients, you guys can use it."
The Ron nodded entered the room with others.
While entering the ICU Ava and James felt like thousands of worms were crawling in their stomach, from anxiety. Especially Ava, she felt guilty and did not want to meet Trisha right now, but she forced her self to walk in the ICU along with James suppressing all her thoughts and guilt.
Thanks to her Pa.s.sive ability Trisha"s all minor wound had healed already. except for her crushed arm, eye and ear, these parts seemed to be covered in gauze and bandage.
Seeing Trisha in this state both James and Ava started to tear up no matter how hard they tried to hold those d.a.m.ned tear back, Ava walked next to Trisha"s bed while weeping and said " I sorry .. I am really "
" why? " asked Trisha, Ava was speechless and said " because of me ... because of me you ..." before she could say further , Trisha Interrupted her saying " yes, because of you ...." hearing this Ava"s face turned pale but Trisha continued with a smile," because of you I know what a true leadership is ... Thank you for telling me what a Captain should do. I will always keep my comrades out of trouble. do you still hate me?"
Seeing Trisha not blame her but instead thank her with a smile, Ava cried harder and said " I do not hate you , captain ".
....
On the other side of the ICU gla.s.s, Their parents could not help but respect Trisha and applauded in appreciation.
Then Jean asked in doubt, " Who told them that a Terror Minion was Hiding in a Sinkhole. "
Except Ron, Rest of them shook their head.
Jean and rest thought there was some conspiracy involved, but to think the culprit was right besides them, " why the h.e.l.l would you tell them that, brother? " asked Kelly
Ron thought if he did not choose his next words carefully then these people will gut him here, " Trisha studied a Super Spy movie last night and thought that having a underground secret base would be awesome. so, she thought that the sinkhole would be a good secret base for her team, no matter how I explained to her, she did not seem to change her mind. so, in order to scare her I told her that there is a Terror Minion hiding in the sinkhole. How can I know that she will still choose to go there. "
" who say"s that to a kid with Trisha"s demeanor. " exclaimed Kelly. Jean Just gave him a "you are dead to me" look and Ignored him all together.
" oh captain!, my captain!, you really do not know much about kids do you." said Joseph.
" Captain-in-law you really screwed up this time, even I can"t help but want to thrash you." said Harry.
The rooms door opened and the Head Nurse came in, feeling the rooms atmosphere she said, " guess this is not a good time to talk about the kid"s prosthetic replacements."
