Ch. 22 Letting Loose

Ch. 22 Letting Loose

        I got to my house as quickly as possible, and completely had forgotten Adrian. As we approached, I could tell there were problems. Namely a broken door and a couple holes in the side of the house. I didn't know what could be happening. 

        I ran even faster.

        I burst inside and frantically looked around. Not that I had to look around much to locate the problem. In the main room stood about 50 robots and drones. And in the back of them, was...

        "MOM!!" I cried. She looked up.

"Oh, uh hi Todd, um, this is a pretty good time."

I guess you know where I get my sense of humor.

"Mom, I..."

The robot from when I had first had these problems was there.

"You."

Hello, Todd. It's been awhile.

"Let...her go." 

Hmm, no jokes? Interesting. You seem a little frustrated.

"Really? What tipped you off?" I growled.

This attitude is unlike you. I like it. Maybe we should experiment with that.

A needle was stuck into Mom's arm.

"NOOOO!!!!!" I screamed. Nelly and Harper leaped into action. Mom dropped.

I stood. Shook. Growled.

"No." I thought.

I lifted up my eyes. "Rage."

The robot turned to me.

I morphed back and screamed.

"RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(Yes, I know Sandslash can't learn this move.)

I charged into battle, anger the only thought in my mind. I destroyed robot after robot, and continued to do it.

Eventually I turned to the mysterious robot. I swung a claw to destroy.

My arm stopped in mid-swing.

"Huh?"

"Todd."

"A-Adrian."

"Not now. You know that."

I calmed. Then collapsed.
