Alex 10

Chapter 23

Title: Of Vreedle's and Tennants

It was late at night, maybe somewhere around two in the morning? Maybe more? But yeah, the Rust Bucket was sitting in a nearly empty parking lot with the three of them fast asleep... that was when an explosion go off.

Alex was first to jolt up and turn into Tarantulape, running out and web slinging his way. Max and Alice didn't take too long since the explosion was very close and decided to suit up.

Tarantulape swung around and landed onto a light pole, looking down at one of Rose's and Carl's caches. Tilting its head and not saying a word, it grinned once it smelt that Alice and Max were on their way.

It leapt down and scurried over, folding his spider like legs and right into the cache. It cocked its brow at the sight of two men with a small truck like ship behind them.

One had a flat-top haircut (which was covered by a hat with goggles on) and he wore an orange shirt, red overalls, and black gloves, belt and belt pouches. He was much taller and looked to put on much more weight, with grey skin

The other wore an orange-black jacket, red overalls, orange hat, and black gloves, belt, and belt pouches. He also had grey skin, but was much shorter and thinner than the bigger one. They were sitting through tech before noticing Tarantulape.

"Say Octagon, what do you reckon that be?" The big one said cocking his brow slightly confused.

The smaller man looked fairly unnerved. "I dunno 'Boid, kinda resembles that of an Arachnichimp... somewhat.", Octagon said as Tarantulape grew out his spider legs and towered over him. "Or... not."

"Now what do we have here?", Max said as Alice was floating next to him with Charmcaster's book in hand. "Oh, it's Octagon and Rhomboid Vreedle." He said recognizing their ship's license plate.

"Well, we are here to get a.... what are we here again?" Rhomboid said as Octagon whispered it to him. "A certain piece of tech I cannot pronounce and we do not at all have it."

"Boid ere is right, we were about to leave.", Octagon said as the Klyntar hybrid's jaw opened up, acid dripping out of its maw. "Uh... tell that thing to close it's mouth."

"Yeah, it's impolite and terrifying," Rhomboid said with a slight nervous tone.

"Yeah, hey, Alex, psst!" Alice slid over to Tarantulape and poked his shoulder. "Maybe turn back into normal Spidermonkey."

Tarantulape turned to her with a grin. "He's not here at the moment,", he said with a playful wink before turning to the Vreedle's. "You're not getting outta here."

"We've figured you'd say that.", Octagon said as he and Rhomboid pulled out blasters in the shape of double barreled shot guns

Tarantulape cackled before stopping unsettlingly, he jumped at them and ranked their blasts at his head, easily reforming and regenerating anything as Max and Alice joined the fire fight.

Tarantulape exploded into a green flash and zipped off as OBLTR8 as he zipped around them, hitting them with his eight foot tail.

Alice flipped through Charmcaster's book and smiled at a detain spell. "Declam Baccura!", she chanted as objects were wrapped around a yellow aura as the larger objects where thrown at Rhomboid.

Octagon was busy duel wielding guns as he blasted at the blue known as OBLTR8 with Max on the other side shooting at Octagon as well. "Boid' is it ready?", he asked his rather dumb brother.

"Uhhhhh, yeah, I think I did it correctly if I can recall that.", Rhomboid said as they noticed OBLTR8 stopping and looking around confused.

"Alex! Get them!" Alice said as she sped over to him on her mana platform.
