The serum swirled in a glow of green before becoming completely clear. Walter held the beaker out to Lance. He started foward, then stopped for a moment. He looked around the Sub, then to Walter and I. Walter gave a smile and a slight nod. Lance walked foward then, with a bit more hesitance, and drank the antidote.

Soon, he passed out. I watched as his body glowed with this crackling energy, then simmer down. He then started to change.

It wasn't until a few moments later that I covered my eyes in a haste to look away. OH GOD I DID NOT NEED THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD!

"Lance? Lance?" Walter called out. I kept my eyes covered, but I could hear Lance groggily get up. "Okay, take it easy."

"Did it work?" Suddenly, a bang rang out. "Ow!" Lance cringed, then gasped. "I-I got my hands back! Yes. Yes! Oh, my pecs. My pectorals, my abdominilia! Oh, Walter! You! Are! A!" I heard a wet sound. DID HE JUST KISS MY WALTER!? "I can do that cause I got lips now! HAHAHAHA! I'M NAKED! Little bit awkward."

"Lucky for you, I planned ahead."

"Good Call."

I heard the rustling of clothes. "He decent yet?" I asked, still covering my eyes.

"Now he is." I opened my eyes to see a very familiar face.

"There he is. Lance Sterling, Back in Action." I said. Suddenly, an automated voice told us we arrived. "Alright Robohand. I'm coming for you." The sentence stirred fear into my heart. He said I. Not we.

The Sub floated to the surface. Once we broke through, I saw a dark island, surrounded by grey skies and rocky ridges. It seemed to be a secret base. And a pretty cliche Evil Hideout.

We grew closer to the island. Soon, we docked. Lance and I stepped out while Waltsr started getting his things ready. I started to think about the battle we were going to be facing. It was going to be dangerous....

Maybe too dangerous.

"Okay, Robohand is a mile due West. So what's the plan? I've got plenty of Glitter, the Yay Bomb, uh Splatterpult-"

"No." Lance interrupted.

"...No what?" Walter asked.

"We're taking it from here Walter." I stated, turning to look back at him. He looked at me in disbelief. "You're kidding right?"

"Look, lives are on the line. We've got this now."Lance said.

"Only you two? But we're a team, you said so yourself." Walter said, gesturing to Lance on the last part.

"And you did your job. You unbirded me. Now it's time to do things my way." He activated his suit, as did I. "We end this fool." I knew Walter wouldn't give up without a fight.

"That's wrong. You're so wrong. Look, I've got everything we need-" I interrupted him this time. I knew this next part would be harsh, but if it kept Walter out of harm's way, then it had to be done.

"This is not the place for your Weird Gadgets!" I half-shouted. Like I said. It was harsh.

"Weird?" The tone he spoke in was heartbreaking. I turned away from him, trying to hide the tears in my eyes.

"Go home." Lance ordered.
There was a moment of silence.

"No." I turned to see him facing away from us. I clicked my left sleeve, activating the tranquilizing darts there. I aimed at Walter's neck, seeing Lance's eyes widen at the sight. "I'm not giving up."

I fired, crying my eyes out as I did. "Ow." Walter reached up to his neck, pulling out the dart. He turned slightly, seeing me with the gun in my hand. "Michelle." He fell into the chair of the submarine, already groggy. I cried even more as I leaned down.

"I can't lose anymore good people. I can't lose you Walter. I need you to be safe." I leaned down, pressing a kiss to the top of his head, before clicking the autopilot button on the sub. The submarine closed, and I watched with tears in my eyes as Walter was taken away.

Lance put a hand to my shoulder, trying to comfort me. I shook it off, wiping the tears from eyes. "Let's end this."

Without another word, we start our way towards the tracker.

____________

Lance was pinned by the Drone. Just as it went to slash at his neck, I hit it with an electrical shock. It fell to the ground and before it could get back up, I smashed it with a nearby rock.

"Thanks." Lance said. I smirked.

"Anytime."

We moved to another part of the base, where we found Robohand. Lance threw the drone into the room. "I think that's yours. But that face you've been wearing is mine."

"Its over Robohand. Without the Tech, that list is useless." I stated, glaring.

He laughed. He laughed so hard he almost spilled his drink.

"You really thought I was gonna use one drone to take out every name on this list?" He asked through his laughter.

"I mean, we did. Until you asked that question that way. Cast a little doubt." Lance said.

"Tell me Agents. You managed to stop one drone." He inserted the database into a machine, causing the pictures of every agency worker to appear. Soon, they were all crossed out with Red X's, the words Target Acquired across the top. Suddenly, the glow of tons of Drones surrounded Lance and I.

"How do you plan on stopping 1000?"

He pointed his metallic hand at us, making the gesture of shooting a gun. Suddenly, electricity filled my body, causing me to cry out in pain. I fell to the ground.

The last thing I saw was Robohand standing above me. "Sleepy Night Night."

I blacked out.
