Chapter Sixteen - I'm So Sorry, Otis

Hello!!! I have such a blast writing these stories for y'all and it makes me so happy that you're loving them as much as I do!! Thanks to ThickSubset2037 for pointing out an error in my previous chapter. If you see an error, dont hesitate to tell me. I want to make sure that its perfect. Also, I'm giving a shout out to lilwoodb for figuring out the code in chapter 15!! I'm giving another shout out in my next chapter to the first person who can tell me the first 10 words in Todd's POV. So the first time Todd has a POV and the first 10 words there.. Does that make sense? Go agents and solve that mystery!!! Lol I'm literally writing this chapter in a porta potty at a beach😂 tell me the weirdest place youve ever written a chapter!

Previously on Odd Squad V.S. The Robot Princesses...

"Todd!" I whispered. Once I finished decoding, my jaw dropped. I ran straight out of that room and ran for the portal. I heard Todd in the distance:

"If you warn him, you will both regret it!!" It didn't matter. I needed to make sure I warned him.
.......................

Otis' POV

When we came back to the squad, Olympia held onto my hand, slowly walking as everyone else went on ahead. She tried speeding up to catch up with the others, but she tripped.

"Take it easy Olympia," I reminded her. "Ms. O can send you back to the hospital if she sees you struggling."

She nodded and we walked over to the lab where we'd get Oona before going back once and for all.

But, she wasnt there!

"Oona!" Ms. O called. "This isn't funny Oona! Where are you?" But she wasnt there! We split up and went all over headquarters searching for Oona, but she was nowhere to be found.

As I rounded a corner, I bumped into Octavia.

"Woops!" She exclaimed, dropping her files, letting them scatter all over the floor.

"Sorry," I apologized. "I'm just looking for someone."

"Oh, who are ya looking for?" She asked.

"Oona. She said she was coming back here to finish up some work and now we can't find her." I explained.

"Oh I know where Oona is!" Octavia smiled.

"Really?? Where is she!" I urged.

"She ran to the paralellaland room. Muttered something about doing it by herself. Whatever 'it' means."

"Oh no! We have to go and get Oona some backup before its too late! Ms. O!!"

...........

Oona's POV

"I have to get back! I have to warn Otis!" I told myself, urging to keep running and pushing through the terrible cramp in my side. Finally, I made it. I made it to the portal! I could hear the footsteps of Todd running at breakneck speed. I opened the heavy wooden door and slammed it behind me before practically jumping into the green mist, letting it devour me until I was back at HQ. I ended up in the warehouse, but I didn't hesitate to get back to the lab and try to warn Otis before it was too late..

"Oof!" I grunted, landing on my back. There was Octavia, standing above me.

"Sorry, Oona!" She apologized before grabbing my hand and pulling me up.

"That's okay, have you seen Otis?" I asked, hoping that he was around here somewhere.

"Yeah, just saw him a couple minutes ago with Ms. O ans Olympia. Why?"

"Octavia, where is he?!?" I asked.

"He's probably battling Todd by now. They went to go get you back-up when I told them that you were there!" She explained.

"No! This is all my fault! I have to go tell Otis that he needs to get out of there!"

I shrieked, heading back to the paralellaland room.

"But why?" Octavia asked. "Why Otis?"

"No time to explain! If I don't get Otis out fast, he might never come back out again!"

.......................

Otis' POV

"Where is she? Oona!" Ms. O yelled. I was worried out of my wits! We couldn't find Oona!

What if we got here too late?

I wondered. I let my imagination play out every possible scenario of where she could be. It was 3:30. There was no time for waiting, we'd have to take Todd head on. There were 7 of us here. Me, Olympia, Dr. O, Ms. O, Olive, Otto, and Oscar.

When we couldn't find Oona, we decided to look for Todd; then maybe we'd find Oona.

And no sooner than we made our decision did we hear a cackle in the not so far distance.

He emerged from the shadows as he did before, his face holding a sinister expression.

"Otis, Otis, Otis." He began, pulling out an unusual looking gadget. "Well what do you know!" He exclaimed, powering on the machine. "Oona didn't make it to you in time."

He snickered before zapping me.

"Uuuh!" I groaned before losing feeling in my legs, falling to the ground. My vision faded and I closed my eyes, the screaming of Olympia rung through my ears before I became unconscious.

Oona's POV

I ran at full tilt to the paralellaland room, one last time, I silently prayed that I wasnt going to be too late.

I sped inside ans before I knew it I was in a meadow, far away from the castle. I could hear yelling and gadgets zapping in the distance. Then I heard something hit the ground and Olympia screaming in fear.

I'm too late!!

I realized.

Holding back the tears, I sprinted towards the noise, knowing it would lead me to my friends.

And, it did. I saw everything. Good and bad. The good thing was that Dr. O had just zapped Todd with a gadget and he fell. Dr. O and Oscar ran over and subdued him. The bad thing was that Otis was lying on the ground as I feared. Todd DID get his revenge, though it might be the last thing he did. Olympia was an emotional mess. For some reason, there was a large gash on his leg (can you tell me why from memory??) and blood trickled down from his head. I think he scraped it when he fell, there waa a sharp rock near his forehead. I knelt next to Olympia and grasped his hand.

This is all my fault!  I told myself.

I shouldn't have ever tried defeating Todd by myself. I really did need the help of my friends. I let a few tears fall down my cheeks and onto Otis' face.

"I'm so sorry, Otis." I whispered.

A.N. CLIFFIE!! Is Otis gone? How will they save him??!!? I'm going to try and get another update up tomorrow and may I say THANK YOU FOR THE 1.34K READS!!! Y'all are the best!!!
