We walked around and there was something 3d printing with lasers.

"Look... it's building itself," berger says.

All of us were looking at it, in awe. "Some kind of 3d printer from space," lizzie says as we walk around it.

"Ooh! Tell it to print a fake ID," lizzie adds.

"Can it print britney spears," berger asks.

"Hasn't she been through enough," lizzie questioned, raising an eyebrow.

Berger looks at her. "Can't print people. Looks like only a few things to choose from," maya says. She starts pressing buttons on the control pad.

The lights then turned off.

"Uh. Maya i think you... pressed the wrong button," berger informs her. Lizzie speaks over Berger, "yeah.. emergency shutoff."

Lizzie starts swiping on it, looking through.

"This is a bad idea," charlie mumbles.

"Uh.. Here let's try this button," lizzie clicked on something.

The light turns on in the circle area of the printer and it made something. We walked to the thing.

"transferring."

There were cool items laid on the table.

We all grabbed something. Lizzie grabbed something that looked like it went over her back. Berger grabbed a stick. Maya grabs a disc. Charlie grabbed a bracelet.

All these had a glowing yellow theme.

"Ooh. What's this," i grab a red jacket.

"Look, a magic wand," berger presses something making it extend. His smile fades as laser light starts beaming out of it.

We all tried out our gadgets.

I put on the jacket.

Berger walks towards whatever the laser was grabbing. "Looking good, Hermione," maya chuckles.

"It's not a magic wand.. it's a magnet wand," berger says.

"whattt.." Lizzie was holding her phone up, recording.

The nail thing was floating. Charlie grabs it. Then his bracelet thing pops up with a hexagon hologram. He stammers, "woah.."

"It's a HUD," maya tells him. "a what," he questioned, still mesmerized looking at the bracelet. "A heads-up display," she says.

He makes a weird noise, still in shock.

"I wonder what this button does," lizzie looks at her backpack. she clicks on it and screams as it lifted her from the ground harshly. Berger turns around so fast he knocked a bunch of random stuff down with his wand.

"Help me, Berger! Berger! It's not a backpack," lizzie shouts. We all looked at her, eyes wide. "Lizzie, careful," berger shouts.

"Hold on, hold on," charlie walks to her, reaching his arm out in front of him, making sure he doesn't get hit.

"TURN IT OFF," lizzie freaks.

"Put me down, y/n," lizzie calls out. "Hang on, hang on.. I got..." I say but got cut off when lizzie's foot managed to kick charlie in the face, knocking him to the floor.

I jump and hang on from her leg, "Woaaahhh!!"

"AAAHHHH," lizzie shouts.

Maya was able to push the both of us down. She helps us up.

"You guys, okay," i asked them. Maya laughed, "yes."

"Okay... you guys alright," charlie points his finger up.

"Target acquired."

We looked at him.

"Oh-"

Something blasts out of the hologram, straight at me.

It flies me back and i fell hard on the ground. I grunt when my back hits a big metal thing, knocking me out.

Charlie, Lizzie, and Maya runs to me.

"Oh my god, Y/n," lizzie shouts.

Charlie hovers his hand over his mouth, backing away. Lizzie looks distressed.

"I.. killed Y/n," charlie stammers. "You killed y/n..." maya says. "I killed y/n," charlie nods, freaking out. Lizzie looks at him, "You killed y/n!"

I move my head slowly, opening my eyes.

"She's okay," lizzie nudges him. "You're okay!"

I smiled. "That.. was awesome," i whispered.

"shrink to fit."

I watch my jacket sleeve adjust to my arm length. I sat up.

"Stylish and functional," maya smiles.

"Guys, check this out," berger calls out. We turn our heads to him. We all let out a scream once we saw him without a head.

Music starts playing. "It's DJ berger, the headless assassin comin at you live," he dances like a 70s disco person.

We stood up and walked towards him laughing.

"Guys! Look over here!"

We turn our heads again to his voice somewhere else.

I see his head coming out of a cart from the hoop thing.

The hoop was like a teleporter. That's so cool.

The four in a half of us walked to his head. "Ooh! I look good today," Berger compliments himself as his headless body walks from behind us. "How," maya gasps.

"It's amazing! You put your head through one magic portal thingy..." his head began to lower. Then his head comes back to his body as he lifts the hoop. "Then it comes out the other," he laughs.

"Oh my gosh," i say.

"Ooh, what's that," maya grabs some type of key and a car lights up from behind us. We turn around and it was coming straight at us. We covered our faces as berger high pitch screams.

"G-mobile summoned. Ready for mission."

"This.. is sick," berger exhales.

We looked around the van. "You still think your dad's the guard's worker," i ask charlie, grazing my hand on the van.

I go back to the front of the van, when i finished looking at the back. I walked over to Charlie as I heard a crash.

"uh.." he talked to himself.

"You okay," i asked him. He turned to look at me, rubbing his nose. "What? Yeah, uhm.. just uh.. i'm just ready to get outta here," he says.

"Right.. cause it kind of looks like you broke something," i said looking at the thing in pieces. "Y-yeah... i guess i don't know my... own strength," he says.

I pick up the pieces behind the couch, thinking about what it should've been.

———

"Guys, we gotta put everything back where we found it," charlie says to all of us.

Lizzie mouths to me, "What happened."

I shrug.

"You know we have that test tomorrow anyways.." maya says.

"That class was so easy... I wish i could take it for you," lizzie plays with the portal hoop.

"About that..." maya hops on the couch. "I kind of have a crazy idea," she adds.

Charlie burps quietly.

"A covert mission," she smirks. "But we're gonna need to borrow a few gadgets."
