How the Lab Rats Fell

Finale: Part Two

And here it is. The finale. This is where it all goes down people!!
Previously
Two girls run to an isolated room. Their faces are shadowed.
"What did you hear?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to get you out here."
"Wait. What?"
"I need you."
"For what?"
"For this." With that, the one girl pulled out a triton app transmitter and used it on the other girl.
"Now, I have an ally. I'll figure out away around Garrett's anti-possession training later."
"What are we going to do?"
"Well first, I'm gonna unlock every bionic ability possible for myself. Then, we'll take out the Davenport family."

Mr. Davenport
You'd think that if someone created a bionic chip, that they'd hypothetically know how to use it. Not the case with Garrett Anthony. We all laughed as he accidentally sped into a wall for the fifth time.
"I don't get how that's so funny," he remarked.
"It's funny because you're running into walls," Bree said, "You're supposed to grow out of that by the time you come to school!"
"Okay, you're mean," Garrett retorted, "But seriously, I just need- whoa!"
And speed into wall number six. If only this traitor thing wasn't hanging over our heads...
Suddenly, Fern and Heather ran into the lab area.
"You came back!" Adam noted.
"Who's the traitor?" Garrett asked.
"It's..." Fern started, then was run over by Garrett. Number seven.
"Well, that was anticlimactic," Leo noted.
"Whose idea was it to give this guy super speed?" Fern asked, trying to get up.
"Well, um," Douglas started.
"Dougie, was this your idea?" I asked as sweetly and non threatenly as possible.
"Not exactly, it was my invention's idea."
"Inventions don't have ideas," Chase said.
"Yeah, because they're dead," Adam added. We all looked at him.
"Guys, we're getting distracted," Bree said, "Fern, who is it? Where and who is this traitor?"
Fern smiled and laughed.
"You're looking right at her."

Bree
Suddenly, I wished that we'd stayed on who have Garrett super speed.
"It's you?" I asked.
"You!" Adam accused, "I knew it was you all along!"
"You don't like me?" Chase asked.
"Of course I don't!" Fern screamed, "And neither does Sabrina. I was paying her to date you."
Chase looked the epitome of hurt.
"How could you do this?" Chase asked.
"Because," Fern said, "Y'all are so used to winning every battle. For the 'sake of humanity.' But maybe you should become human first."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Why, destroy everything that differentiates you from the rest of the human race," Fern, explained, "And when I'm done with that, I'll-"
At that moment, Fern was cut off by Garrett using her super speed to ram into her. We all looked at him in astonishment. I'll give the dude credit, he doesn't wait around for people to kill him.
"And that's why Douglas gave me super speed," he said triumphantly, "That and I got tired of hearing her talk. She's always liked to monologue like that. It gets really annoying really fast."
"Honestly, I don't care why you did that, but congrats!" I congratulated. We all high fived, but it was cut short by something whipping us all off our feet. I looked up to see Heather's arms retracting into her body. What did she have to do with an of this?
"Well, obviously this was enough to show you that I know what I'm doing," Fern said, getting up, "Heather is controlled by the Triton App. In short, y'all are doomed. All I need to be unstoppable is you."
Confused, I looked around. Then my eyes fell on it. Garrett was the only one standing.

Garrett
I looked around to see everyone on the ground except me. Well, this was nerve wracking.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You know exactly what I mean," Fern replied smugly.
"Oh come on! That?" I ranted, throwing my head back, "Dear Lord you took the EXACT SAME CLASS!!! Don't you remember the way around it?"
"What way around it?" Fern asked, bewildered, "There's a way around it?"
"Uh, yeah," I said in a 'duh' tone, "Why don't you look it up on the cyber desk? I'll stay here."
"Don't mind if I do," Fern said, smug again. When she started looking on the cyber desk, I activated my super speed and ran her through the corner of the cyber desk and then into the wall.
"YEET!" I exclaimed when I caught my breath, "You were always so gullible."
I turned around to see Heather's arms expanding. Crap. She was using her super elasticity again.
I decided to put another new ability to use.
"Let's see what this super agility thing does," I muttered, and instantly did a two foot high arial over one of Heather's sweeping arms.
"Not bad," I mused.
Heather swept at me with her other arm, and I did a quick roll to avoid it. After a couple of futile attempts from Heather to knock me down, she deactivated her super elasticity. Before she could do anything else though, I had traded places with her. And she was on the ground, dazed.
"So I take that as a no, then," Fern said, rising slowly. I sped to her face.
"You're a psychopath," I spat.
"I thought you were my brother," Fern defended.
"I thought you were my sister," I contradicted, "But sisters don't control their own siblings just to get, well, whatever you want."
"Well, I hope you don't regret your choice," Fern said.
"'Well, I hope you don't regret your choice'," I mocked (rather well, realizing later that my vocal manipulation had involuntarily kicked in), "I have no regrets. And you will never be my sister"

Fern
Heather used her super elasticity to grab me and bring me over to her. Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo had recovered. They, along with an exhausted looking Garrett, surrounded the two of us. Heather looked pretty worse for wear too. I grabbed my ePhone out of my pocket and pressed it a couple of times. The floor fell beneath us. I landed on the bottom, and grabbed Heather. We ran over to the nearest Davencycle and she drove the two of us off. Garrett's final words to me rang out in my head, to haunt me for the rest of my life.
"You will never be my sister."

And there you go. It didn't totally come out the way I initially planned (I envisioned a bigger fight scene) but all in all I think it was meaningful enough.
Also, that video was something I cobbled together myself (including the music, thank God for GarageBand) but I totally get it if you don't like it. It was just something extra I decided to do and by the time I saw the quality, I had put in too much work.
Now, let me guess what you're thinking. "This can't be the end!" Well, if you were thinking that, you're right! There is a sequel coming! I'll post more info about it in my epilogue, but after that it's just editing and pre-writing. Also, I'll probably post the epilogue tomorrow, because it won't be that long.

1K

That's how many reads this story has gotten. I never, in my wildest dreams, thought that I would get this many reads. This is amazing. The moment of seeing the 1K is still surreal. Thank you so much for the support. This was the main factor that made me decide to write a sequel to this. That and this is so fun to write! This is such a break from English class!

Thanks for 1K
