Chapter 8: Is That Daleks?
"Oh, Jennifer Lawrence. I feel so lucky talking to you online."
Daleks is on his laptop in the hallway, talking to Jennifer Lawrence (who is actually a middle-aged, bearded man in a dress).
"Glad to make one of my fans happy," 'Jennifer Lawrence' says in a raspy voice.
"There's just something that makes you look different from how you looked on TV and stuff like that," says Daleks. "Why would that be?"
Jennifer makes a worried look, but before 'she' could answer, Ferret randomly falls from the ceiling and breaks Daleks' laptop.
"Ferret!" shouts Daleks, holding the remains of his laptop. "You stupid rodent!" Then he notices the note in Ferret's mouth. "What's this?" He takes it out and starts reading it.
"Dear Person that reads this, there's a couple of us stuck in Mr. Unleashed's classroom because Clancy was being a brick and shut the door. The users that are stuck are R2, Pick, Clancy, Storm, Manly, and Nurv. Please help us soon, Storm is resorting to cannibalism and Clancy will probably be missing a finger by the time you read this. Love, R2."
Daleks scoffs. "R2 probably just locked the door on himself again. I'll just get Xeano to unlock it."
Daleks stomps off in search of Xeano. When he finds the fox, he’s taking a nap on the floor in the gym.
"The ArmorGames' hall monitor, everybody,” comments Daleks sarcastically. He goes over to the fox and shakes him awake.
"Huh? What?" Xeano yawns. "Oh, hello Daleks."
"How did you get this job again?" asks Daleks with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, because I tried bringing more students to the school. Something along those lines," says Xeano, scratching his armpit. “I’m not entirely sure myself. Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?"
"No. I came to tell you that R2, Storm, Clancy, Nurv, Manly, and Pick are locked in Unleashed's classroom."
Xeano sat there in silence for a few moments before bursting into laughter. "Oh man, R2 is so dumb."
"I know, right?" Daleks joins Xeano in his laughter. It quickly subsides, and Xeano reaches into his pocket.
"So I'm guessing I have to unlock the door, then?" asks Xeano, searching his ring of keys for the correct one. "Ah! Here it is." Xeano reaches a hand towards Daleks imperiously, wanting the dinosaur to help him up. However, Daleks misunderstood and shook the outstretched hand instead. Xeano had to roll around the gym floor in order to get his feet.
Now standing (and a bit more disheveled), Xeano cracks his back. "Alright, let's go."
When they arrive at the door, Xeano jiggles the handle. Surprised to find it already unlocked, he pushes softly on the door. It doesn't budge.
"That's weird..." mumbles Xeano. He pushes harder on the door. "C'mon..." He pushes harder. "C'mon." He pushes even harder. "C'mon!" He pushes with all his foxy might. "C'MON!"
"Xeano, stop it. I don't think it's working," says Daleks.
Xeano clenches his teeth. "No, there's still one thing I can do." He begins to back down the hallway.
"Xeano..." Daleks says ominously. "What are you trying?"
The fox stops and drops into a ready stance. "My hardest!" He charges at the door, emitting an ululating war cry, and collides with it.
The door, of course, did not break. Xeano sighs with frustration.
"Now that I think about it," Daleks says, stroking his chin, "R2 did say he was going to use some kind of high-powered super glue on the door for a prank."
Xeano looks up at Daleks. "And you didn't think about mentioning this before?"
"Nope."
"Did he say where or who he got it from?"
Daleks strokes his chin again. "I believe he said he got them from DayCee."
Xeano sighs again. "Guess we'll have to go to DayCee's office."
At an intersection in the hallway, two users are peeking over the corner.
"Seems we'll have to stop them," says one of the users.
"It appears so," says the other.
The first one points down another hallway. "Quickly! We can flank them if we take this hallway."
Both users take off down the hallway.
Xeano and Daleks are still strolling down the corridor, chatting.
"So yeah. I talked to the real Jennifer Lawrence," Daleks gloated.
"Woaaaah!" Xeano exclaims in awe. "So, you're pretty much like a celebrity now?"
"I'm totally a celebrity," says Daleks. "Someday I'll drop out of school for a nice job opportunity in show business."
"You're so cool, Daleks." Xeano bats his eyes at the dinosaur. "I wish I could be like you."
"I know, right?" says Daleks smugly. "So anyways, I thought..."
Daleks stops as EvilSweetBlock leaps out to block his way. Evil is also wearing sunglasses for some reason.
"Is there something you want, Evil?" asks Daleks.
"Nope," Evil says with a mischievous smile.
"Then can you get out of our way please?"
"Nope."
Daleks stares at him blankly for a few seconds. "Xeano, do something!"
Xeano puffs up his chest and steps up to Evil. "As hall monitor, I command you to get out of the way!"
"I will not."
Xeano looks at Daleks. "I tried."
"Not hard enough," mumbles Daleks before speaking up. "Evil, why are you in our way?"
"Because I can be," says Evil evily.
Daleks scowls, furious. "Agh! We don't have time for this!" Evil looks about to respond when the dinosaur tackles Evil so hard that the latter flies into a row of lockers.
"Let's go!" Daleks and Xeano sprint down the hall, leaving Evil to try and put his sunglasses back together. Tears fills his eyes as he stares at the jagged pieces. Then he looks up at the duo running down the hall.
"You’d better watch your back, T-rex."
Daleks and Xeano take a moment to lean against the wall and gasp for breath when they reach the door to Mr. DayCee's office.
"Was that really necessary?" wheezes Xeano.
"He was in our way," says Daleks. "What did you expect me to do?"
"Never mind," sighs Xeano. "Let's just get DayCee."
Daleks knocks on the door.
"Come in!" came a voice behind the door.
Daleks and Xeano go inside to see MrDayCee relaxing to some music from bands in the 90s.
"Hello, Daleks. Hello, Xeano. Beautiful day, isn't it?" Says the janitor with a smile. "What can I do for you?"
"Was R2 here earlier today?" asks Daleks, who’s still slightly winded.
DayCee thinks back to earlier today. "Now that you mention it, he did ask for a can of wax and a bottle of X-TREME SUPER STRENGTH MONKEY GLUY."
"Well, we sort of have a problem concerning that..." begins Xeano.
"What is it?"
"R2 wanted to prank Unleashed, so he went to glue the door, but he also brought Clancy, Pick, Nurv, Manly, and Storm with him and now they're all trapped in Unleashed's room." Daleks explained without stopping. "We need a way to remove the glue."
"Well the only way to remove X-TREME SUPER STRENGTH MONKEY GLUY is with explosives," says DayCee. "Unfortunately, I just ran out, and the nearest explosives are in the next town, which is an hour and half drive away. So I'll have to be away."
"We'll come with you, DayCee," says Xeano loyally.
"We will?" Daleks was skeptical.
"Great!" exclaims DayCee, and stands up.
"I'll come too," says a voice at the door. Everybody turns around to see Nivlac, who’s striking a heroic pose.
DayCee speaks first. "Fine with me, although with three people, I'm going to have to put in the big side pod."
"Side pod?" asks Daleks. "Why would you need a side pod, and will it even fit me?
"Because I drive a Harley, and it'll possibly fit you."
"Just don't pee in it," Nivlac piped up. "We don't want it to turn into a pee pod. HAHAHA!"
Everyone stares at him.
"Alright guys!" exclaims DayCee after a protract4ed silence. "Let's go!"
"So you failed us?" says one of the two users in the shadows. "Even though we paid you?"
"My apologies, sirs, but I would like your permission to join you in your mission," says Evil, his face tight with rage.
"Why do you want to do that?" asks the other mysterious user. There’s a wooden sign in his hand.
Evil stares at them, eyes full of fire. "That dinosaur broke my shades. Those shades were special to me."
The users exchange a glance. "Fine with us," says the first one.
There's suddenly a beeping from one of the user's phones.
"DayCee's little motorcycle is taking off, I presume?" asks the one with the sign.
"Sure is," says the other. "We'll take the car."
Suddenly the users step out of the darkness into the light. One of the users is MattEmAngel, the one with the sign is JACKinbigletters. All three of them walk out into the parking lot. It’s mysterious.
