The Adventures of Spendy Scoot and Shoo Part 7

Chapter 10

Bookin and Katie followed Banan through the halls of this place.

Banan explained that this base was underneath the gorilla kingdom. He also told them about he mysterious girl that went by the name "Barbie".

"No one knows where she came from." Said Banan. "One day she just walked out of the jungle, into the gorilla kingdom. I remember the first thing she said. "Do you boys wanna help a girl out?". And every gorilla within a mile dropped everything to help her."

"So she came alone?" Asked Katie.

Banan shook his head. "The next day, a group of people came. They brought cages and boxes of who knows what. She had the gorillas build her this huge underground base."

"How did you resist her?" Asked Katie.

Banan glanced at Bookin. "Because I'm already in love." He said. "That's the only way to resist her." Banan grabbed Bookin's hand. She didn't pull it away. She actually kind of liked it.

No. Bookin didn't like him anymore. All that came from loving a gorilla was heartbreak and sorrow.

But she felt it. Like a flower of warmth in her heart.

"Can she only control boys?" Asked Bookin.

"Not much." Said Banan. "The only way to get a girl under her control completely, is to mess with her head. Literally. It's a surgery that they can do."

Katie shuddered. "Are we almost there?" Asked Katie.

"Just about." Said Banan.

They reached a door marked PROJECT X.

"Only Barbie and her people are authorized to enter through here." Said Banan. "I'm guessing this is where they took your friend. I can't come with you any further." He turned to Bookin and grabbed her hand.

"Bookin," he said. "There is a small island that is close to land, just twenty-five miles from here. I can take you there. We can have a family. We can live a life together."

Booking was about to tell him to get lost, but suddenly she realized, that was exactly what Bookin wanted to do. She wanted to go live a life with Banan. But she knew she couldn't.

"I can't." Said Bookin. "My friends need me."

Banan nodded and turned to go, but then he came back, and he kissed Bookin.

And Bookin kissed him back. The rest of the world disappeared during their embrace. It was as if nothing else mattered, it was just Bookin and Banan.  The finally broke apart. Bookin was brought back to reality. Banan just stared into Bookin's eyes for a moment.

"Be safe." Said Banan. He placed his lips on Bookin's for just a moment, and then he turned and ran the other direction.

"We need to go." Said Katie. She tried the door, and it was locked.

"I've got it." Said Bookin. And she kicked the door in, blowing it off the hinges.

Kiarra couldn't tell how long she had been in the pod. She couldn't see anything.

She could have been in there for minutes, or days. There was no way to tell.

Then suddenly, the light in the room turned on.

Kiarra couldn't see a face. All she could see was ceiling.

It was mainly just a white stone. She could see when they were going out the door, because she saw  the metal door frame.

Suddenly, the pod pitched, and Kiarra was standing in the pod.

Then, the door to the pod opened. The body sized pod was flooded with light.

Kiarra stumbled out. She was now standing in a school gym sized white room. All of the walls where white, just like before. There was a big machine in the centre of the room, surrounded by monitors. Standing around the machine were 10 peopleThere was a big machine in the centre of the room, surrounded by monitors. Standing around the machine were 10 people. Suddenly, the large metal door at the far end of the room opened, and Barbie stepped out. She was wearing extra makeup, with dark purple lipstick and blush. She was wearing a white lab coat, and high heals. Her shoes clicked against the floor and she walked through the room, towards them.

"Hello Kiarra." Said Barbie. "Welcome to project X."

Kiarra shook her head to clear if. There seemed to be hundreds of thoughts going through her mind.

"Who are you?" Asked Kiarra. "Where are my friends?"

Barbie laughed. "You will know soon enough."

Suddenly a man jogged into the room. He ran right up to Barbie and whispered something to her. She whispered something back. He nodded and was just turning to leave when something caught Kiarra's eye. A dark blue logo on his shirt.

"Hey!" Said Kiarra. "Your a L.U.S.T agent. Help me!"

The L.U.S.T agent just laughed, and walked out.

"You still don't get it, do you." Said Barbie. "I am L.U.S.T."

Kiarra shook her head. "That's not possible."

Barbie smiled. "Kiarra, did you ever wonder how L.U.S.T started in a week."

"I remember how it started." Said Kiarra.

"Do you really?" Asked Barbie. "There are gaps in your memory, and you know it. We created L.U.S.T. It's fake. Just one more big lie."

She spat the words at Kiarra, and they stung. How could it all be fake?

"Why would you do that?" Asked Kiarra. "How could I not remember something like that?"

Barbie laughed. "Kiarra, I am in your head." She said. "I've been steeling memories, controlling you."

"Why?!" Yelled Kiarra.

"Because we need you." Said Barbie. "Well, technically, we need your powers."

Kiarra was still confused. Why did they want her powers.

"We are trying to creat the most powerful human in all of the land of the udders." Said Barbie. "Mathew!"

Suddenly a boy rushed into the room at an impossible speed. Then Kiarra saw who it was.

It was Mathew.

"We were able to bring Mathew back to life." Said Barbie. "And give him powers."

"Mathew!" Said Kiarra. "You can fight them! You can get us out of here!"

Mathew shook his head, and smiled. "I only listen to Barbie. She is my leader."

Barbie smiled. "Leave us Mathew." Mathew ran out of the room at super speed.

"In order for Mathew to be the most powerful, he needs your powers." Said Barbie, smiling slightly. "You have the strongest powers in all of the Land of the Udders."

"Well, I won't give them to you." Said Kiarra.

Barbie smiled. "Get in the machine Kiarra."

Kiarra didn't know what she was doing. She didn't understand it, but she walked over to the machine and strapped herself in against her own will.

She tried to fight it, but she couldn't.
