Freedom

Project 2,731

"Why have the adults been taken? How are we supposed to rescue them? We're only kids!" yelled Jayla.

"Shh, quiet! The president wants you two because you two are the chosen ones. If they get a hold of you, then they will take over the rest of the world and there will be no freedom. So they have decided that if they kidnap your parents and the rest of the adults of Thólos, then maybe you two would surrender to set your parents free. As for being kids, I have a solution. We will use the microchip that is made to transmit battle plans to the guards and armies of Thólos. It is inserted into the children when they are younger so then whenever they need more guards or soldiers then they can make older children part of the army without training We will use the microchip to transmit battle plans to all of the children of Tholos. Then we should be able to march into the prison, free your parents and escape the city."

"Escape the city!" exclaimed Jayla.

Cody frowned, "Of course we would have to escape the city! If we stay then you will be wanted by the rest of the civilization."

"But what about all our friends and their families?" wondered Jayla.

"We'll have to break out," finished Cody.

"How?" asked the girls.

"Come," directed Cody.

He guided the girls to the door, and inside they saw hundreds of people working on holographic computers. They walked up to a young man who was working on a very high-tech project.

"Steve comense project 2,371," commanded Cody.

"Are you sure sir? Are they ready?" wondered Steve nervously.

"It is time," stated Cody. Once Cody gave the word, Steve brought up a big red button on the computer with the numbers 2371 written across it.

"Would you like to do the honors?" asked Steve as he nodded to the girls.

"Sure," both of them muttered, as they walked up to the screen. Almost immediately as their fingers felt the warm metal on their fingers, a cold feeling rushed through their bodies. Within a matter of seconds, they couldn't move their own bodies. All of their movements felt forced as if somebody else was controlling them. The two girls marched out of the control center and out onto the streets of Thólos unsure of what they were doing.
