The Battle for Earth

Escape

They looked up at the snarling face of a Nemesis guard, Henry and Marijn in both of its claws.

I tried to warn them. Damned Nemesis had to stuff his dirty claws around my mouth before I could warn them. Oh, well. We're stuffed in jail now. Marijn had his suit taken away from him and it's being disassembled. Although, I hope they realize that his suit can't be disassembled. John and Joseph are kinda shaken up that they didn't realize the trap sooner. I can't blame them. I would hate falling into a trap. Oh, wait, I just did.

"Now what?" asked Henry.

"We escape. Obviously," said Joseph.

John curled up in a ball. "Let's assess the situation, shall we?"

"Go on," said Marijn.

"One: The Nemesis don't realize that we have a combined IQ of 500."

"A third of which is MINE," said Joseph.

"Nah, we have about equal," said Henry. "Go on, John."

"Two: We were trained in a situation like this. Stuck in a jail with no resources. How did we get out?"

"Marijn had a few wires in his pocket," said Joseph. "And he got us out."

"Correct," said John. "And three: They're recording everything we're saying right now."

"Why wasn't that number one?!" cried Joseph. "You'd think it would be better if we knew we were being surveilled."

"Oh, don't worry," said John. "I have a plan. And it would be a much better plan if we had an audience."

"Do tell," said Henry.

"It's gonna be spectacular," said John, grinning.

"Are you sure?" asked Marijn.

"Positive," said John. "You added a summon function to your suit, yes?"

"Well, yeah..." muttered Marijn.

"Then let's do this! Joseph, do you know how to hot-wire?" asked John.

"Yeah," said Joseph.

"Great. Marijn, give him a sonic screwdriver."

"You're damn well lucky the Nemesis didn't take my screwdriver," said Marijn, taking out his screwdriver.

"Wait, what about me?" asked Henry.

"You..." said John. "You are going to take this." He pulled out a small hilt from his sleeve.

"Your Light-Dagger?" asked Henry.

"Yes," replied John. "And you are going to stab the Nemesis in their bony hearts and send them to hell!"

Henry turned on the Light-Dagger. A small blade made of light emanated from it.

"Sweet," he said.

"Ready?" asked John.

"Yep," they said in unison.

"Joseph, begin hot-wire!" exclaimed John.

"Joseph used the sonic screwdriver to open a control unit for the door. He began hot-wiring the controls.

"Marijn, get ready to summon suit!" said John.

Marijn put on a scowl that either looked like he was constipated, or he was concentrating really hard.

"Done!" said Joseph.

Marijn let out a yell. "JOMVIIIIIS!" he screamed.

Instantly, his suit began zooming towards him, assembling on his body.

"Alright!" cheered John. "Let's move!"

The four of them ran through the halls once again, stopping at a vault.

"You think this is where are weapons are at?" asked Joseph.

"JOMVIS' scans say so," said Marijn.

"Joseph, open it," said Henry.

When Joseph opened the vault, alarms started blaring.

"I thought you disabled them!" said Joseph.

"They must have rebooted it," cursed Marijn. "Quickly! Grab the stuff!"

As they hastily grabbed the weapons, Nemesis guards came running down the halls towards them. Henry sliced a few down with the dagger.

"Let's go! Ship bay!" yelled Henry.

They ran to the ship bay, blasting Nemesis guards while running. When they finally arrived at the ship bay, an unwelcome surprise awaited.

"They destroyed our ships!" cried Henry. "I f***ing knew it!"

"Uhh..." said John, who clearly didn't anticipate this.

"Are you boys having some trouble with your brilliant plan?" a female voice said in their earpieces.

Demi and Hannah had come, this time with two other people. And four other ships.
