We Can Be Heroes (Wild Card x OC)

Chapter Eleven

Wheels was the first one in with the rest of us right behind him. "We only have six minutes left!" Missy yelled.

We stopped in front of it. "Not a problem. Not a problem. All I have to do is reprogram the rocket's main contr-" He got cut off but something covering the rocket.

"What is that?" Rewind asked.

Wheels pulled a tire pump out of his chair and extended it toward the thing covering the rocket. "Maybe it's uh...a force field?" He asked in disbelief.

"No, no, no, we were so close!" Missy whined.

"But there's no one here but us." A Capella said.

"Who did this?" Noodles asked.

"I did." We heard someone say. We turned around and there was Ojo.

"Ojo, did you just talk?" Noodles asked.

"I could always talk. I simply chose to observe and listen instead. And what I heard was chaos, dysfunction, disharmony...just like your parents." She said.

"But that's not true. We were working together." Missy said stepping forward.

"Were you?" She looked around. "Then where's Wild Card?"

"That's a good question. Hey, Wild Card, old buddy. Are you in the ship's control room yet?" She asked.

So that's why he and Facemaker ran off together. That was all part of the plan.

The speaker came on. "I sure am. Just like we planned, old buddy." Wild Card said.

Ojo looked shocked. "You were working together?" She asked.

"Surprise! I even sent him on a secret mission. Isn't that right, Wild Card?" She asked.

"Yep! And when the team leader tells you to do something, you hop to it." He said.

"Since when did you accept Missy as the leader?" She asked.

"Since the tunnel...when she told me you were an alien spy."

"Ojo's an alien spy?" The twins asked together.

"Yep. Ojo's a spy." Missy said. Then Ojo grew tentacles out of her back.

"You knew. How'd you figure it out?" She asked impressed.

"You accidentally gave it away in one of your own drawings. Your art never lies. You work for Granada, don't you? Or does Granada work for you?" She asked.

"They all work for me." She said. Then Facemaker ran in and bumped into Ojo's tentacles.

"What the...Ojo's an alien!" He said pointing at her.

"We know!" We yelled at him. He ran to join us.

"And now you can be impressed...and defeated...as soon as I figure out which one of these buttons removes the shield." Wild Card said.

"Knowing the aliens, it's probably a big button with a picture of a shield on it." Wheels said.

"Oh!" Wild Card said. Then the shield came down and we all cheered.

"I hate to spoil your celebration...but there's still two minutes left. Game's not over yet." She said pulling out her stylist.

She started drawing on her ipad then her drawing came to life and popped out of her screen and got bigger.

"Uh-oh!" Guppy said.

"We'll hold it off. You find a way to stop the launch." Missy told Wheels.
