The Alpha Teens

Chapter 4 - Checkpoint

Alpha Teens Base, Command Center

"That didn't just happen..." Trent said while wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Tell me that didn't just happen." He said as he walks back inside the Command Center with the others, along with David following them.

"So, the 'security' that was keeping the toxic chemicals were actually all teenagers?" Asked David, with a confused facial expression.

"Yeah, and the seven that we battled weren't even all of them." Said Jake. "Plus, their eyes were glowing red when we asked them what they were doing." He added.

"Okay, yeah, that's not normal." David replied.

"Well, what do we do?" Bridgette asks. "Clearly, something bad is happening." 

"Bridge, I don't know at the moment," David said in a calming tone. "But we will get to the bottom of this, I promise. Now, go take a break guys." He added.

"I think I'm gonna take a shower," Eddie said while scratching his right arm, "How is it that I'm alive after fighting biker gang-looking teenagers, you ask? Robots." He said, then walked out of the Command Center.

1 Week Later, in the Main Base Area (A high-tech, lab-looking area of the base, where the Team will casually be in)

Jake and Bridgette are talking in the Main Base Area about the recent encounter at the industrial warehouse.

"It's pretty obvious that this is the weirdest thing we've ever experienced," Bridgette said. "I mean, considering those teenagers' eyes and their mannerisms, they could be mind-controlled." She added in theory.

"You could be right." Jake agreed, "But, by who?"

Eddie walks up to Jake and Bridgette, "Something up?" He asked.

"Not really, we're just trying to figure out what we're dealing with." Jake replied.

"Then I think you'll be happy to know that David, Trent and I--mostly David and I used the DNA fingerprints from the teenagers, and now we can locate them." Eddie said.

"Whoa, seriously?" Jake asked lightly in excitement, "But how exactly did you get any of their fingerprints?"

"The canisters from the barrels." Eddie replied, "And we know it's not our fingerprints from touching it, because we used gloves. Gloves are life."

"So what's next?" Bridgette asks.

"David and I learned that these teenagers are en route to Alaska," Eddie states. "It seems that their destination is the facility for the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. HAARP for short."

"What would they want at HAARP?" Jake asks. "All that facility does is study the ionosphere."

David walks inside the Main Base Area as the three are talking,

"That, is exactly what you guys must discover," He said. "They've become much more active since you guys fought them, which can only mean something sinister is happening. And whatever their plan, we must thwart it before anything else happens." David added as he pounded his fist on a nearby table.

"Well, all I know is that we'll definitely need to use the cloaking device on the Alpha-Jet again," Bridgette said. "It'll render us completely undetected to radar."

"Excellent, Bridgette." David said, "Now go get Trent, and off to Alaska."
