Chapter 9, One Shot
It was the same place again, except it was gone. They'd winded up exactly on Tower Bridge.
"Micheal.. why are you shaking?"
"That guy over there Ollie!"
A super strong Ukrainian dude called Ivan who had came back from the bake off was inching towards them.
"You know that James guy people? He planted a bomb in The Houses Of Parliament."
Ashley turned from amazed from the view to sheer shock as she realised she had to stop a bomb in a government building.

James suddenly came through a portal type thing.
"You have 24 hours before the government goes bye bye.. it won't be nice for an English civil war.. innit?"
He went back through, the time had begun.
"Well I mean.. Ivan.. you weren't lying?"
"I'll help."

Hour One
They raced across the street and barged past the crowds of tourists. They'd reached the destination in 5 minutes. Zoey threw C4 at the building blowing a wall to bits. The alarms suddenly went off and they entered a side of the building, Oliver spotted a door which they quickly ran in. A security room with many cameras which contained a ventilation on the ceiling.
"Ashley.. you're the only one that can get in there." Oliver sighed
"Oliver! Rewire the entrance cameras at the front."
"But that would take ages Lewis-"
"Get back to work! I said get back to work bud! Did I say you could stop working?"
"It's gonna take 1 hour."
Magnet pushed Ashley into the vent and out of the cramped security room, she clambered above the hallways until she found what seemed to be a sensor in the vent. She crawled past it until there was a beeping sound.

"There's a rat in the vent!" Shouted a posh entitled man, but then Margret Thatcher walked past.
"What is going on!"
"Ma'am, a rat is in the ventilation!"

She pulled out a baseball bat and threw it at the pipe which created a massive hole.

"No entitled posh man who I don't even know, why is there a literal dwarf climbing through there!"
"I am not a dwarf! I'm trying to-"
"Remove the bomb?"
"Yes exactly!"
"Well.. I guess I can convince the security that no security risk and we need to get that bomb out of wherever it is-"
"It's in the basement Margret."
"But no one has been there in 300 years!"
"Oh well.. we've gotta defuse the bomb now."
"How'd you know?"
"I saw the guy but I was too busy sleeping.. sorry."
"Well, let's get the others."
She walked into the security room around the corner where Lola and Sky were in an intense debate.
"I didn't want to go in the vent! And you can't even listen to music without studying!"
"Well I have the urge to study all the time Sky!"
Magnet was in the corner with a knife in hand.
"Will the both of you shut up before I turn you into tiny mashed potato!"
"Ouch.." She shouted
Oliver was still hard at work rewriting.
"Do you want me to cut off the cameras or not?"
The ground suddenly shook, and the footsteps ran across the floor. The pop tart man grabbed the door and only 22 hours remained.

Hour Two
Ivan lunged at the pop tart man rapidly throwing fists which scared him away.
"How do you do that!" Shouted Oliver
"I'm just built different."
"You don't need to rewire the cameras, I know it's in the basement."

They suddenly all put aside their differences and trampled across the pop tart man; ran down the hallway and took a right turn. A small metal door with a key needed for access, they'd found the right door to the right basement. They read the sign, it said.
'Site of the gunpowder plot, visitors shall not trespass.'
"What's the gunpowder plot?" Said Ivan
Micheal spoke up. "In 1605 on the 5th of November, a man named Guy Fawkes, he attempted to blow up this very building but he failed. Now every year we celebrate how we stopped it by building massive fires and sometimes we light fireworks swell!"

They continued to try and open it but to no avail, it was locked and it was locked hard. But then someone came around the corner flashing with a blue aura, almost like a hologram. He returned to a normal form and started running, a blowtorch in hand.
"Names Ethan, Cook-in Ethan."He proclaimed
He pulled down his hat to reveal hair like fire, he made a square around the door and kicked it down. The bomb had a radar and was sticking out because of its circular frame and a countdown at '3:12'.
