Chapter 1: We Begin at Night

(After the intro...)

The guys had gotten out of the car. It had been too long. Mark should've been out of the house by now. Even if he got into it with Ryley, they'd at least cool off. Harris and Spyder walked to the front door. It was open, which didn't occur to them before Spyder knocked on it. The door creaked, with the lights being on inside. The boy stepped in to find their friends.

"Ryley! Hey, you guys done yet?!" Spyder shouted.

Hearing no response, he turned to his nerdy best friend. Harris shrugged.

"Hi boys."

The two freshman looked up to see the cheerleader. Her smile was a big one. She made her way down the stairs. The guys waited for her to meet them face to face. She did just that in a few seconds or so.

"Ryles, where's Ryan and Mark? We were supposed to be at the Mech 2 hours ago." Harris told her.

"Oh right! Sorry, Ryan was busy helping me with a project and Mark was just using the bathroom." Ryley replied.

"Yeah, I don't even go to the bathroom for 2 hours unless my bladder-"

"Moving on." Harris cut him off.

Spyder stopped speaking.

"I'll show you what we've been working on. It's only fair since you've been waiting for so long." Ryley told them.

She began to walk to her left, with the boys following her. As they went further down the hallway, Ryley's smile was replaced with a smirk.

"Wait, she told me your name was Steven." Ryan said.

"It is. Bernie is my middle name." Steven explained.

"Aha! Bernie!" His sister laughed.

"K, we get it Hannah!" Steven snapped.

Her giggles continued on.

"Wait so, your name is Steven Bernie Jones?" Ryan asked.

Steve nodded. The male technopath and Hannah glanced at each other before busting out in laughter. Steven rolled his eyes and sighed. His sister calmed down a bit.

"Gets funnier every time someone asks." Hannah spoke.

Steve shoved her in the shoulder. Another face joined the gang as she completed her trip down the stairs. Along with her came the sound of a door opening and closing. The pilot put an arm around his girlfriend as she grinned. The other side however wasn't as cheery as them.

"K, first off....OW!" Spyder yelled.

Harris grunted as he got up. He helped his friend as the two looked at their other captured companions.

"Mark?!" Harris asked.

"Nerdo, Spyder! Dang, she got you too?" Mark questioned.

He took a moment to think.

"Nerdo she got you too?" He corrected.

Spyder rolled his eyes.

"Least you got my name right." He commented.

"Wow, you did get his name right--not the issue right now!" Harris quickly changed the subject.

"And we're here too." Seth spoke up.

The three of them stared at their enemies.

"Aha! What'd you do, let her get you? And your supposed to be 'big and bad'." Spyder mocked.

Morris made an attempted to punch him, but Mark quickly pushed him to the floor. He was like the wall between the two at the moment.

"Alright, Bernie hook that up." Ryley instructed.

He did as he was told. Spyder and Harris heard the voices behind their cage.

"I can't believe this is actually going to work." Ryan said in shock.

"Well when you have an amazing mentor, and an extremely hot girlfriend, the possibilities are endless. Now, pull that piece." His partner replied.

Spyder glanced at his friend in shock, as did he. The daredevil started banging on the steel door. Harris copied his logic.

"Ryan!!" The two yelled.

"Tried that." The others told them.

The two stopped.

"There has to be a way out of here." Harris stated.

Spyder took a moment to think. While Harris was conspiring ideas with the former jock, a light bulb went off. The jokester snapped his fingers.

"I got it!" Spyder shouted.

The others stared at him.

"Darn, we're gonna die before we even get out." Grey counteracted.

"Be bitter if you want ice queen. Harris, you have your bag with you right?" Spyder questioned.

The nerdy little boy turned his back towards him. Spyder began to dig through his stuff. Harris glanced at him.

"I don't know how this is gonna he-"

That's when Spyder pulled out a wrench. Harris turned back around in shock. Mark raised an eyebrow.

"How did you-"

"I do stuff." Spyder cut him off.

The fourth oldest of the group took it from him. He started to hit against the steel door. Dents were being made, but nothing was breaking. Harris took a second to think. He had an idea in mind as well.

"Wait! Our Mech links have lasers in them." Harris mentioned in a whisper to Spyder.

He shrugged.

"So?" He asked.

"I tested it on different pieces of material. Steel was the one that was the most difficult, but it still broke through." Harris told him.

Spyder smiled and nodded.

"Yeah so first off, we can hear you." Morris talked.

The two looked at him.

"And second, your puny lasers won't do much." Grey added.

"Not alone they won't." Seth said.

Mark stopped banging and stared at him.

"You have something with you?" He questioned.

Seth smiled mischievously.

"Well, I think my idea will help us all out. Come here." He replied.

The three joined him as the entire group whispered to one another. Harris quickly whipped out his phone and texted someone. She was going to be involved in this. Once the text was sent, Spyder and Mark looked at him. A teasing smirk was on the former jock's face as the jokester crossed his arms.

"What? If things go south, we might need extra back up." Harris told them.

Spyder patted his shoulder.

"Sure, whatever you say buddy." He remarked.

Harris rolled his eyes.
