ADORE YOU ( wild card )

Chapter Twelve

CASSIDY'S EYES WERE WIDE as her sister tried to get Rewind to reverse it; that way Slow-Mo didn't jump.

"Hold on, I think he knows what he's doing." Rewind said, and Cassidy sent him a bored look. "Oh, you do? You do think he knows what he's doing? Well, I'll know what I'm doing when I shove my foot up your--" Cassidy was cut off when Missy slapped her hand over her sister's mouth.

The timer beeped, and the Moreno twins turned in fear.

"We're running out of seconds!" Missy exclaimed, and Cassidy sucked in a sharp breath.

Then, everyone cheered when Slow-Mo lifted the board up.

"Uh, guys?" Wheels interrupted the cheers. "How are we gonna get him back up here?" Wheels asked, and Cassidy looked at Missy. They hadn't thought about that.

A light bulb then appeared above her head (figuritively) and she looked up. "Wild Card? We need you. Right now!" Cassidy shouted.

"On my way, Cass." Wild Card replied, and then smirked at Miss Granada. "Stay cool."

Suddenly, Wild Card appeared right next to Cassidy, causing her to jump back. She smiled at him.

"Dude! You actually teleported!" Facemaker said, then him and Wild Card exchanged a high five. Wild Card glanced over at Cassidy with a grin, then she pointed down where Slow-Mo was.

"Get down there, quick!" She said, and he nodded, putting his hands together.

Wild Card flew up with Slow-Mo, and Cassidy felt happiness running through her veins as if running a marathon.

"Now, swap the motherboards up there!" Wheels instructed, and Wild Card handed the board to Noodles who stretched his arms out to swap them. When he did, then timer went out, and the alarm blared.

Wheels furrowed his eyebrows, as did Cassidy.

The ground beneath them began to shake, and everyone struggle to keep their balance. Everyone also blocked their eyes when a red light beamed onto them from the rocket as it opened.

Cassidy put her hands over her eyes, letting out a quiet groan.

"What's happening?" Missy asked, looking back at Ojo. "The takeover is happening." Ojo said with joy, and Cassidy turned her head towards the girl, huffing.

Just then, the light wasn't as bright when Heroics emerged from the rocket - lined up. Cassidy furrowed her eyebrows, putting her hands down.

The Heroics stood there like there was cameras everywhere, and Cassidy smiled as she looked at them. She glanced at the kids next to her who also had smiles on their faces.

"Wait, so our parents were in the pyramid all along?" Missy asked, causing everyone to look back at her. "But, I don't understand." Missy said, walking to the back of the group to face Ojo. Cassidy followed standing besides her sister.

Miss Granada, the president, and 4 other guards walked towards everyone, and Cassidy furrowed her eyebrows at that.

"What..." Cassidy started. "Is happening?" She asked, and looked over at Missy who was just as confused.

"What's the takeover?" Missy asked. "The takeover of power," Miss Granada replied, and Cassidy scrunched up her nose. "From your parents." She finished her sentence.

"Wait, our parents were in on this?" Cassidy mumbled, but nobody seemed to hear her.

"You see, the next generation is always an improvement from the last." Miss Granada said, then looked at Ojo with a huge smile. "Things are not heading in the right direction on your planet," Ojo told everyone. "And you children are inheriting earth's problems, and need to be able to fix them, sooner rather then later."
