Chapter Ten Bad
Moon Rising

Sirens wailed, and red lights flashed overhead.P Workers scrambled to thick concrete bunkers
in the walls of the mineshaft.P The
massive black-and-yellow striped doors started to slide together.P That was when one of the fifty-gallon
barrels sitting at the side of the tunnel did something unusual.P It sprouted four spindly silver-green legs,
stood up, and jumped through the blast doors, just before they slammed closed.

The barrel bounced a few times, and with a gurgling schlorrrp,
sloughed into a silver-green ball of taffy.P
It stretched and oozed into humanoid form a few moments later.P Drew took a few tentative steps, trying to
take in his surroundings.P Now where
the heck is that red-headed twit then he saw the towering rocket ship,
lit up with floodlights.P Holy
schnikey!

HELP! shouted a frantic voice.P Come on, Jenny!P
Somebody!P Anybody!

That was Brads voice!P It rose from a deep concrete pit, in the direction of the
rocket.P He sprinted to the edge of the
pit and peeked over and there was Brad, at the bottom.P What are you doing down there, you
nimrod?!?

Brads head snapped up, and a huge grin of relief broke out
on his face.P DREW!P Where the heck have you been?!?P Get me out of here!!!P Hurry!!!

Drew jumped down, landing with a thud a few feet away
from Brad.P He laughed, and straightened
out the lapels of Brads tuxedo.P
Having some problems, are we, double-oh-doofus?

Forty-five seconds and counting, boomed a deep voice from
a loudspeaker.

Forty-five seconds until what? asked Drew.

Brad twisted his face in frustration.P He just pointed straight up, to the giant
hissing rocket nozzle.

Drews face nearly fell to his knees.P Oh, he weakly croaked.

Cmon, cmon, break these chains!P Use some of that new and improved robo-muscle!

Better idea, Drew said, with newfound urgency.P He grabbed a strand of chain in each hand,
which immediately started to flow into a silver-green sludge.P Silver tendrils spread along the chain
links, and the nanobots started to consume Brads metal bonds.

Where were you how did you get here?!? shouted Brad.

I stowed away in the gas tank of the helicopter.P Yes, it was as nasty as it
sounds.P The chains dissolved through,
and fell to the concrete floor.P Oh
man, oh man, oh man, oh man .

Brad looked around the cavern for a means of escape, but
every door and window he could see was sealed shut behind thick metal
shielding.P Oh, for the love of were
locked in here!P Were toast!

The vibrations from the Moonsword started to
increase, and the whining shriek of the turbo-pumps grew loud enough to become
uncomfortable.P Jets of white vapor
started to pour from the nozzles.P
Thirty seconds and counting, boomed the PA system.

Brad covered his ears, trying to think.P Look, the safest place to be is probably up
there.P On board this rocket!

Sure, that makes a ton of sense! shouted Drew,
rolling his eyes.P Lets go!P Hop on my back, like you did last night in
the alleyway!P Brad wrapped his arms
around Drews neck, while Drew knelt down into a deep crouch

And jumped as high as he could, grabbing onto a tail fin
jutting out from the Moonsword.P
He clumsily scrambled onto the top of the fin, and leapt again, flailing
his arms to catch the lowest steel arm stretching out from the launch
tower.P Brad held on for dear life, as
they swung and leapt up the steel arms, climbing them like the rungs of a giant
ladder.P They were twelve stories in the
air now, with only one arm to go, the one leading to the crew compartment.

Fifteen seconds.P
Terminal count commencing.P All
systems to internal power.

With a sharp crack, the steel arms started to rotate
away from the body of the Moonsword, which shuddered and rumbled like a
dragon coming to life.P Drew sprang to
his feet and wildly sprinted along the three-foot wide arm, carrying his
well-dressed passenger, and flung himself towards an access hatch on the side
of the rocket which he missed.

But he did grab onto a pipe running down the side of the
fuselage.P Drew and Brad dangled
precariously from the side of the Moonsword, one hundred fifty feet in
the air.P Ten seconds!P Nine eight

Drew frantically climbed the pipe towards the access
hatch.P Just trust me,
Drew.P Nothings going to happen,
Drew.P Were not going to get in
any trouble, Drew.

Brad reached out and found a handle.P Yeah, yeah, so sue me.

Four ignition sequence start three two

Brad swung the hatch open, and slid his body though the
narrow door into an equipment section of the ship.P The giant rocket engines ignited, sending four sharp punches
thundering through the body of the Moonsword.P Drew fought to maintain his grip as the rocket shook like a
bucking bronco.P With a motivated surge
of effort, Drew flowed himself inside the rocket, and closed the hatch behind
him.

It was dark and cramped, and it felt like riding in a
washing machine.P Jennys above us
somewhere! shouted Brad.P Weve got to
get that necklace off of her. PIf we can
save her, then she can save us!P They
braced themselves against the vibrations, and started climbing up the equipment
tunnel.

With a billowing plume of exhaust, and a deafening roar, the
Moonsword rose out of its launch silo on four pillars of shrieking
flame.P Shock waves rocked the
countryside as the mammoth rocket climbed into the night sky, faster and
faster, shooting through a layer of clouds with the brilliance of a miniature
sun.

Maximillian Marquis sank back in his chair, and allowed himself
to simply enjoy the moment.P The thick
padding helped cushion against the vibration and acceleration generated by the Moonswords
booster stage.P He gazed at the
semicircle of human specialists and robots sitting attentively at their
stations his loyal crew as they tended to their duties and monitored
critical systems.P Through the windows,
against the inky black sky, the horizon took on a curved appearance, as the
rocket gained altitude.

Altitude forty-one miles, speed is Mach 8.P Everything normal so far, reported the
pilot.P Rojack sat emotionless, unfazed
as usual, but he kept one eye on XJ-9, as if he didnt fully trust the mind
control.P But Jenny sat rigidly at her
station, staring at her monitors.P
Marquis wasnt concerned, and besides, she wouldnt be needed until they
actually arrived at their firing location.

Marquis thought he heard a sharp clang from the aft
portion of the crew compartment.P It
might have been launch vibrations but a flight engineer shouted back at him,
over the noise and shaking, as an alarm flashed on his console.P Mister Marquis, we have intruders on
board!

The hatch slammed against the back wall which was now
actually the floor and Brad and Drew dragged themselves into the crew cabin
of the Moonsword.P Brad pulled
himself to his feet, straining against the acceleration, his teeth chattering
from the intense shaking.P Drew flowed
himself up a bit easier, but still felt the need to take a breather.

Okay suggestion.P
We lie low back here until the engines shut off!

Brads eyeballs sunk back into his sockets.P I have ugh no problem with
that!

Suddenly one of Marquis droids poked its head out, two
bulkheads up, and spotted them through a doorway.P Intruders located, it announced in a synthetic voice.P Buzzing alarms began sounding through the
length of the cabin.

Oh, crud, groaned Brad.

No rest for the wicked, shouted Drew, as the droid dropped
down on top of him.P It tried to wrestle
Drew to the floor.P But between the
buffeting of the rocket, and Drews fluid body, it proved difficult to hold
onto him.P It lunged at Drew again, and
missed awkwardly, falling on the floor next to the still-open hatch.P Drew shoved the droids head into the hatch
and slammed the door shut shredding its head off with a crunch.

They know were here, grunted Brad, we might as well go
for it!P Lets find Jenny!

Drew wrapped an arm around Brad, and started shimmying his
way up the corridor.P It was a bit
disorienting, since floors were walls and walls were floors, but they just kept
climbing up, pursued by a few more of Marquis droids.P Finally they came to the top of the Moonsword
the bridge.

Brad collapsed on the floor, feeling triple his body
weight.P Marquis managed to turn his
head to see what was causing the disturbance, and saw a tuxedo-clad teenager
flattened against a bulkhead, next to a pliant, silver-green android.

YOU! he screamed, his eyes mixed with equal parts fury and
disbelief.P Strapped into their flight
seats, fighting the G-forces, none of his crew was in a position to go after
them.

Brad saw the back of a glittering, diamond-painted robot
head.P Theres Jenny!

Drew lunged upward, climbing towards Jennys chair.P Jenny sat ramrod-straight, paying perfect
attention to her instruments, just as she had been commanded to do.P Drew stretched an arm forward, towards the
back of her neck

But he was brutally slammed against the wall as Rojack
lunged out of his seat.P He landed a
pair of punches to Drews midsection, kneading him like a giant ball of
dough.P Drew pushed back and the two
robots clattered off the wall, crashing backwards.P They slammed into a control board and destroyed a monitor screen,
filling the interior of the cabin with the sound of shattering glass and minor
alarms.

Rojack grinned, and reared back his left arm, which crackled
with paralyzing energy.P Drew was
getting mighty sick of that arm.P But as
Rojack swung, the rocket shuddered briefly, and he lost his footing.P He fell face first onto the control
board.P Drew wrapped a few coils of
silver-green around Rojacks arm and pinned it against his chest.P Rojack shuddered wildly, suffering from his
very own paralyzing beam.

Marquis growled, and turned to Jenny.P XJ-9!P
Eliminate that android nuisance!

Jenny jumped from her seat and dropped down, her eyes
glowing a frosty blue.P Drew looked up
just in time to see her slam down on top of him.P She grabbed him by the arm and flung him clear across the cabin,
smashing him into the wall on the opposite side.P He stumbled to his feet in a state of near shock.P Jenny glared menacingly, and started
marching towards him.P With a flick of
her wrists, three long, sharp blades deployed from each hand.

Jenny!P What are you
doing? he shouted.P Its
me!P Drew!P Remember?P Mr. Silver
Pizza Dough?P Im trying to help!

Eliminate him, XJ-9! shouted Marquis, rapidly losing his
patience.

Jenny halted her approach.P
D-D-Drew? she mumbled, in a shaking voice.

Marquis grabbed the diamond on his walking-stick, and gave
it another twist.P A flash of blue
flared in Jennys eyes.P Then she lunged
at Drew with arms and blades swinging.P
He flowed himself into a surreal shape, desperately trying to avoid her
attack, and grabbed her by the wrists, trying to hold her off.

All of this was happening just a few feet to the left of the
pilot, who was nervously trying to focus on flying the rocket.P Coming up on booster separation!P Altitude one hundred and eight miles!

Brad got an idea.P
The walking-stick P He turned
on his stomach, and started crawling towards Marquis chair.P Drew, hang on!P And remember, Jennys being controlled!P Dont hurt her!

Jenny shoved Drew against a console with a loud thud.P She wrapped a fist around Drews metallic
neck, and started slamming his head into the control panel, shattering dials
and video screens, and gouging out a large dent.

Ill try clang to take it clang easy
clang on her, Drew babbled.

Jenny pulled her arm back, and converted it into a giant
mallet.P She raised it over her head,
preparing to deliver a crushing blow but Drew lunged from the control panel,
using her own momentum against her.P
Drew and Jenny tumbled across the cabin, pinballing off of chairs and
bulkheads Jenny trying to deploy her weapons, Drew trying to wrap her up and
slow her down.P Finally, Jenny flung out
her arms, breaking free from Drews grip and sending him flying against the
hull

And splattering against a large, striped door labeled Emergency
Exit.

Brad grunted and crawled closer to Marquis, whose chair was
now only a few feet away.

Jenny flew across the cabin with a large electrical prod
deployed from her arm.P She jabbed it
into Drews back, filling his body with surges of high voltage, causing his
arms and legs to flail about like silver-green spaghetti.P Then she braced herself, reached for the
emergency handle, and pulled it.

The door blasted off its hinges into space, and a deafening
hurricane-force wind roared out of the cabin with hideous force.P The crew of the Moonsword screamed in
fear as emergency klaxons shrieked, and bulkheads groaned from the strain.P Loose debris shot out into the vacuum,
flying into Drews face as he clamped his hands into the edges of the door.

Jenny prepared to deliver another high voltage shock

Brad looked around frantically, and found a fire
extinguisher strapped to the side of Marquis command chair.P Straining against the gravity and loss of
oxygen, he yanked it free, and swung it towards the walking-stick.P The extinguisher hit Marquis right in the
knuckles.P He howled in pain, and lost
his grip on the walking-stick that operated Jennys mind-control.

NOOOO!!! shouted Marquis.

The air was still screaming out of the ship, and the force
of the wind sucked the cane towards the emergency exit.P Drew reached out with his arm, and grabbed
the cane out of mid-air

Which was all the diversion that Jenny needed.P She jabbed Drew again with her electrical
prod, and he lost his remaining grip on the doorway.P He plummeted out the door and into outer space, watching Jennys
sparkling diamond form climb away from him.P
The body of the Moonsword shrieked past, and he was about to
plunge into the inferno of the engines fiery exhaust unless one chance

Jenny stepped back and closed an emergency bulkhead, to the
relief of the crew.P The wind died down,
and the air pressure started to rebuild.P
But Marquis was still in an agitated state.P The walking-stick if he figures out how to operate the
controls he could still deactivate the mind-control necklace!

A loud clang sounded through the hull of the
Moonsword.P Marquis turned to his most
faithful, most loyal employee.P
Rojack!!!

Drews arms were wrapped around one of the boosters tail
fins.P He hung on desperately, thirty
feet away from a column of fire longer than two football fields.P He still held onto the diamond-topped
walking-stick, more by instinct than anything.P
The noise, the flames, the shuddering, and the vibrations made it
difficult to focus on anything other than the gut-wrenching terror that filled
his android brain right now.

Okay okay if I can turn this thing off Jenny will get
back to normal.P Marquis had just
twisted the diamond.P But it wasnt that
simple, apparently.P Drew couldnt get
the diamond to budge.

He felt a new vibration in the fuselage of the rocket, clanking
down from above.P Drew looked up

Rojack was climbing down towards him, on all fours, with
powerful clamps deployed from his hands and feet to grasp the fuselage.P He had that same vicious, cocky grin that he
always wore it seemed to say Im really going to enjoy hurting you.

Drew fiddled with the diamond capstone, pushing and pulling
it, but he still couldnt get it to twist.P
Rojack got closer and closer.P He
raised his right hand, and deployed the diamond-tipped boomerang.P He took aim, and got ready to let it fly

Rojack wobbled and fell forward as the rocket lurched.P The vibrations died away, and Drew suddenly
realized that it had become very, very quiet.P
The four massive rocket engines had shut down, and the Moonsword
was simply coasting along in space.

Twelve loud cracks sounded around the midsection of
the rocket, and the entire lower half, the booster section, dropped away.P Retro-rockets fired, pushing the now-empty
booster away from the Moonsword.P
Then the Moonswords main engines flamed to life, and it
accelerated on its way towards the moon.P
It shrank into a dazzling white dot, like a diamond, barely
distinguishable from the millions of stars in the perfectly black sky.

Drew and Rojack watched the Moonsword fly off,
stunned, then finally turned to face each other.P Drew laughed awkwardly.P
Ah, heh-heh you know Ill bet you wish you had a rocket engine
stuck in the middle of your back right now.P
Because I sure wish I did!

The continent of North America spun in slow circles around
their heads, as the empty booster tumbled lazily through space.P Rojack, ever silent, seemed to summon a new
wave of rage and hatred.P He took his
boomerang, and flung it towards the tailfin that Drew was clinging onto.P It sliced it off neatly, and Drew started to
drift away from the rocket, into the void

But the tailfin gave Drew something to push against.P He lunged off in a weightless jump, and
clattered back clumsily against the fuselage of the booster.P He grew short claw-hooks from his feet to
hold on, and turned his attention back to the walking-stick.

Come on, come on turn already this is worse than a
bottle of aspirin!P Come ON,
dangit!P There must have been some
trick to it, or some magic amount of pressure to use.

Rojack lumbered towards him, eager to complete his masters
orders even now.P He swung through space
with a vicious punch.P Drew folded
himself over backwards to avoid it.P
Rojack grabbed onto the walking-stick, and tried to pull it out of
Drews grip.P But Drew wasnt letting
go.P If there was still any way to
save Jen and Brad with this thing

The two robots lunged and flipped awkwardly, trying to
orient themselves in zero gravity without losing their grip on the boosters
surface.P Neither of them would release
their grip on the diamond-capped walking stick.P Rojack tried to wrestle it away from Drew with brute
strength.P Drew tried to snatch it away
with speed and agility.P Finally, Rojack
pulled Drew loose from his grip, and slammed him back savagely into the fuselage.P Pinning him down, he drew back his left
hand, which started to crackle with intense paralyzing energy.

Drew struggled to escape from Rojacks grip.P He grew weary and hot from the effort,
holding off the monsters attack, but still clung desperately to the
walking-stick.P Wait a minute why
am I getting so hot?P Im an
android.P I dont sweat anymore

They were both distracted as a small glowing blob shot past
them.P They glanced up and saw another
one, slightly larger this time.P It was
a shard of metal it was a piece of the booster.P The front end of the booster section was beginning to glow a dull
red.

They were re-entering the atmosphere.

Dancing streams of pink and green plasma hissed and
screeched around them, as they started to descend into thicker layers of
air.P A white-hot shock wave wrapped
itself around the booster section.P
Chunks of metal skin peeled away in the heat, raining back on Rojack and
Drew like a shower of lava droplets.P
They could feel the structure of the booster starting to buckle and
twist beneath them.

Internal alarms began to go off in Drews android
brain.P The temperature was already up
into the hundreds of degrees.

It would soon be in the thousands.
