Mech X4, Spyder x OC (book 2)

Episode 10

"Shields operational." Veracity said

"Power reports coming in." I said, pulling the reports up. "Hey guys, we're going to the arctic but is it better to use fire or ice?" I asked, trying to ready a stash of each.

"Weapons operational and go with fire." Spyder said

"All systems stable, you backstabbing, gift-getting weasel." Mark said

"Traeger has no idea we're coming. We have the element of surprise. Today is the day we end this." Ryan said

"Here's another surprise for Traeger: He's not fighting a boy today, he's fighting a man." Spyder said

"Really, where is he? I just see a bunch of boys and two capable women." I said

"How can you guys be so calm?" Veracity asked us

"Well Ryan masks his fear with confidence." I said

"Harris with science." Spyder said

"Mark with his ego." I continued

"Lizzy with... well she just says what she's thinking and basically looks before leaping." Spyder said

"And Spyder with really, really awful jokes." I said

"Sometimes I think you hate me and other times I think you really like me." Spyder told me

"Well, sometimes you're annoying and sometimes you're sweet." I said

"Okay..." Veracity said

"Look, there's an extra pair of pants under this suit, we're all secretly terrified." Spyder said

"I mean, if I die, so be it. I didn't actually accomplish anything useful in my life." I shrugged and put my feet on my desk.

"And if we do, we go down doing what we love most." Spyder said

"Screaming?" Veracity asked

"Look at that, 2 days in and you already know him." I said

"We're getting close to the arctic." Mark said.

"Alright, we're almost there." Ryan said. Then Traeger appeared in front of us.

"He KNeW We WeRE cOmING?!" I yelled

"How?" Mark asked

"It doesn't matter. Incoming." Ryan yelped as a fireball whooshed at us.

"Ice it is." I decided and launched a ball of ice to neutralize the fire. I started tapping on my computer, reloading the arsenal and whatnot. I programmed it to act like a game in a way. I would continuously tap, and drag the ball to the box and repeatedly do that. Veracity was working furiously at the shields and I was launching ice ball after ice ball. One hit our shoulder.

"My shoulder's on fire and my left arm feels dead." I said

"Well duh... you get the physical aspect of the robot." Harris said

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop them all." Veracity apologized

"I am making a note of the date and time Veracity Campbell said sorry." Harris said

"Is now really the time to do that." I asked

"We can't get that weapon until he gets off our backs. Spyder, Harris, missiles." I yelled. The monster retreated

"We have an advantage, the flight mode. Let's push it." Ryan said

"Let's finish-"

"Let's finish this." Veracity said over Ryan.
