Yay! Thanks T!
Anyway, it's been about a week now (maybe not exactly but who really cares?) so here ya go, chapter 26!
Chapter 26
Dr Demana
“So, we finally meet again 0784556, I was hoping we’d meet,” I said.
“I would say the pleasures all mine, but I believe lying is wrong,” 0784556 answered.
I wasn’t phased. I had been more exited than worried when I’d heard of his escape. It was so enthralling, seeing something I’d created doing so much damage and showing so much power. The experiment had been a massive success. 0784556 had taken out half a building and maybe 100 guards, including a master slig. Then he’d escaped and shortly afterwards survived a long chase through the L. H+H P. with my favourite master slig and even managed to crack the bizarre ancient locking system of the temple. Then had sneaked into a top security building. He’d shown amazing initiative and strength. I was proud
“So 0784556, do you know what you were made for?”
He sighed before answering; “The scabaramitoken and red skin projects were both to make bigger, better mutant security guards. And my name is Splat, not 0784556.”
“I don’t give a damn what your mudokon name is, I shall call you what I please. But I do admire your initiative, you have learnt a lot.”
“I knew all that before I left.”
“How much do you know?”
“Enough.”
“How much is enough?”
“I can explain in at least some detail all the experiments that took place in that lab up to red skin.”
“Again, you amaze me 0784556!”
At that point one of the sligs behind me cursed loudly. A couple of seconds later Mazia was in front of he handing what looked like quite a bit of money to Splat. “What’s that for?” I asked.
“A bet,” Mazia told me, glaring at me with his one good eye. Then he explained, “0784556 bet me that I would here his prisoner code more times than I expected. I expected to here it 3479 times. You just made the 3480th.”
“Wow!” Splat remarked, “I’m that famous?”
“Yes,” Mazia said simply before turning back and getting in his position in line.
“Well, anyway, I’m glad you’re making yourself at home 0784556 but we really should be getting on with business.”
“What business?”
“The reason we brought you here instead of killing you in the lab.” I could feel a smile creeping round my lips. Mudokon simple mindedness is a wonderful tool. And I couldn’t wait to say the next line on my lips.
“Why did you bring me here?” Splat asked, his voice full of suspicion.
“To do what we should have done weeks ago.” I stepped aside to reveal a slig holding the heavy metal helmet. “We’re going to brainwash you!”
2 sligs that had been hidden behind 0784556 grabbed him by the arms and shoulders.
