xxxv. rise of the secret soldiers part 2

~3 Weeks Later~

Juliet was sitting on her bed, staring at the wall in front of her. She was silent, but her mind was filled with facing thoughts. She tried to keep her mind clear, but couldn't do that. This voice had been speaking to her the past 3 weeks and she can't get rid of it. Nor could she figure out who it was.

It wouldn't go away and it continued to get worse. It kept her up at night and she couldn't think straight. However, Juliet has a good poker face and it isn't obvious to those worried her they something is wrong. Juliet just naturally looks mad all the time.

She isn't mad. She is confused. It's gotten to the point where she can communicate with the voice.

Who are you? Juliet thought.

I can't tell you that.

Juliet rolled her eyes. Can you show me?

Tonight, meet me at the abandoned junkyard near Pike's Creek. Come alone and tell no one.

Juliet frowned. That's not suspicious at all.

You want answers. Show up tonight.

Why can't I tell anyone? Juliet thought. She waited for a reply and never got one. She groaned and laid back on her bed, blowing raspberry.

Juliet's phone rang and it was Leo. She answered. "Hey."

"Hey. Is Freya okay? She isn't answering her phone." Leo asked.

"No." Juliet sighed. "She isn't talking to anyone. She barely leaves her room. She is... really hurt by way Chase did."

"Chase keeps calling and texting and is really worried about her. He feels really bad." Leo explained.

"If he is so worried, then why isn't he coming to see her?" Juliet asked. "That's what Freya told me."

"I'm not sure." Leo sighed. "Well, I miss my best friend. Try whatever you need to get her feeling better."

"I'm trying, trust me. Freya is super stubborn." Juliet remarked. "If I get her to feel better and come over, I don't think she wants to see Chase."

"We can make it work where they won't see each other." Leo said and swallowed nervously. "Maybe. He's always here."

"I'll try to get her to do something." Juliet told Leo. "Talk to her later."

"See ye."

Juliet hung up and got up, sighing to herself. She walked out of her room and over to her sisters. Juliet knocked her on door.

Freya was laying in bed, eating more ice cream. Her room was a mess and her hair wasn't washed. She hasn't change clothes for 4 days and is binge watching Criminal Minder. She is depressed and wants to be left alone.

"Go away!" Freya called.

"No! It's been 3 weeks!" Juliet called from behind the door.

"I don't care!" Freya exclaimed and went to take a biter of her ice cream, but it was gone. She groaned, putting it on her nightstand that was filled with water bottles and other empty ice cream containers.

"Leo called." Juliet said in a softer tone. "He misses you. Adam misses you. Bree misses you. Everyone misses you."

Freya pondered what she said and sat up, clearing her throat. "Does Chase?"

"Yes." Juliet hesitantly said. "Leo said he is worried about you and feel really bad."

"He should feel bad!" Freya called.

"Freya, I know this sucks and I get it. But nothing will get solved if you just bed rot. It's not healthy and we all miss you. I miss you. I miss my happy, goofball sister." Juliet looked down, gently tapping on the door sorrowfully. "Mom misses you. She is worried sick."

Freya looked down with gulit, biting her lip. Freya hasn't realized how those around her when affected by this and her sister is right, nothing will ever get solved if she just sits here.

Freya used her molecular kinesis to unlock the door and open it slowly. Juliet stood up straight, looking up to see her sister.

Juliet was blasted with body odor and rotting food. "Maybe opening the door wasn't the smartest idea." Juliet covered her nose, waving the smell away.

"When I bed rot. I bed rot hard," Freya chuckled as Juliet quickly rushed to the bathroom to get a Frebreze spray. She ran back and sprayed Freya's room everywhere.

"Okay," Juliet sighed as she finished spraying and let her nose go. "That smells better."

"However, the person that produced it, doesn't look it." Juliet scrunched her nose in disgust. "Go shower. And when you finish. Shower again. Brush your teeth. Twice."

"What are you gonna do?" Freya asked, climbing out of bed and standing on her feet.

"Cleaning this mess." Juliet gestured to the messy room.

"Good luck." Freya grinned, before walking out of her room.

Juliet took me step forward and stepped in something gushy and gross. "EW!"

Juliet lifted her foot carefully to see chocolate pudding. She groaned in disgust and sat down on Freya's bed, grabbing a nearby paper towel and wiped her foot.

"It's worth it to make my sister happen." Juliet grinned sheepishly and put her foot down it was clean. She looked around the room and sighed. "I didn't think this through."

——

Freya had finished her shower. Which she cleaned her body and washed her hair multiple times. She brushed her teeth and did her hair. Her curls were clean and she did some skincare to help.

Freya walked back to her room with a robe on and she saw her mom and Juliet had cleaned up her entire room.

"Sweetheart!" Cassandra beamed at her daughter and brought her in for a hug. "I was so worried about you. Are you alright?"

"I will be." Freya told her and looked at her sister. "Thank you."

Juliet handed her sister a pair of clothes. "Get changed and we can head over."

Freya gave them both heartfelt grins as they walked out her room. Freya for the first time in weeks smiled.

——

Freya and Juliet arrived at the Davenport House and upon arrival, they saw Davenport.

"Freya," Davenport smiled and hugged the blonde girl. "I'm so glad you are alright. We haven't heard from you in weeks."

"I'm sorry. After what happened, it took a huge toll on me." Freya apologized and Davenport gave her a sympathetic look. "Not even sure if Chase and I are together anymore."

"He misses you a lot and feels really bad," Davenport told her.

"Where is everyone?" Juliet asked.

"In the lab, probably," Davenport told them and the girls made way down to the lab.

Freya took a deep breath as they exited the elevator. She was for sure going to see Chase.

Juliet grabbed her sisters hand and the girls walked into the lab to see the bionic trio and Leo.

"Hi guys," Juliet greeted and Adam beamed at her presence, but gasped when he saw Freya.

"Rey!" He beamed and Freya smiled at him. The others turned and Bree and Leo happily laughed, going up to her.

"Bestie!" Bree smiled and hugged Freya. "You're okay!"

"My best friend!" Leo frowned as Bree pulled away and Freya gave Leo a grin, before he hugged her.

They pulled away and Chase stood nearby, not knowing what to do. Freya and Chase made eye contact and tension filled the room. Adam, Bree, Juliet, and Leo awkwardly stood there, feeling the tension.

"I'm glad you're okay," Chase gave her the thinnest of smiles and Freya nodded with a sad smile.

Douglas walked into the lab. "Where's Donny?"

"Probably out trolling the streets for a new set of bionic kids to control." Leo remarked sarcastically.

"Blondie, you're alive!" Dougla smiled when he saw Freya, patting her shoulder.

"Unfortunately," Freya replied and Juliet bumped her shoulder.

Donald walks into the lab. "Leo, I heard that!"

"Donny, you gotta see this news footage! Those criminals the President was talking about? Busted into the Pentagon last night!" Douglas informed his brother as everyone walked up to Douglas and Davenport.

"What? The Pentagon is the most secure facility in the world." Davenport frowned with confusion.

"Yeah, with all those sides, it'd take me all day just to find the entrance." Adam mentioned.

"You'd eventually blast your way in, honey." Juliet remarked, rubbing his arm and Adam grinned.

"No one knows how they did it. But at least they finally got 'em on surveillance cam. Look, they're kids." Douglas shows them a picture of a boy with glowing green eyes.

It was like when Adam, Bree, and Chase were controlled by the Triton App.

"Kids?" Davenport asked.

"Yup, and look. Their eyes are glowing green, which means-"

Adam gasps, interrupting Douglas. "It's the Irish again, isn't it?"

"No. It's Krane." Freya rolled her eyes. "The Triton App."

"Yes. He upgraded the Triton app so he can control S-1 with his brain. Now he must be controlling multiple bionic kids." Douglas explained.

"Multiple kids? How is that possible?" Chase asked.

"I don't know, but if they busted into the Pentagon, I'll bet they're looking for classified information." Douglas replied.

"Why don't we just go to Krane's cell and tell him to stop?" Leo suggested.

"Good idea! Then maybe we can tell him that being evil is bad and he'll give us all a great big hug!" Douglas snapped sarcastically.

"Worked for you." Freya patted Douglas's arm and he gave her a glare.

Davenport turned the trio. "Sometimes true heroes have to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I'm not asking you to come back forever. Just one last mission. Take out Krane's bionic thugs and you're done."

Freys and Juliet shared a look as it was silence.

Bree was first to speak. "Fine. But just to make it clear, when we're done, we're done."

Chase nodded. "Yeah. I can do that."

Adam, however, wasn't paying attention. He was laughing. He saw Davenport's frown. "I-I'm sorry, can you repeat that? I was thinking about growing a mustache."

Juliet rubbed her forehead at her boyfriend, sighing.

"Just get suited up!" Davenport gestured for them to move. The trio rushed to their capsules and Douglas starts to play hold music.

"Huh?" Freya frowned.

"What is that?" Leo asked.

"Oh, I get bored waiting for 'em to change, so I added hold music." Douglas answered and chuckled.

"I hate it," Juliet said and Douglas frowned.

Leo, Freya, and Juliet look over to Donald, who is dancing slightly. Davenport notices he's being watched and becomes embarrassed.

Adam, Bree, and Chase walk out of their capsules, suited up.

"Let's go get 'em!" Adam yelled and starts to run out of the room. Juliet shook her head.

"You don't even know where we're going yet." Juliet called.

Adam turned bark. "Right you are, honey."

"When I created the Triton app, I integrated a tracking element. We can use that to locate 'em."Douglas explained and typed on the computer for the location. "Ah ha! There's eight of 'em. They're at an abandoned junkyard, right near Pike's Crest."

Juliet froze at that last sentence. That was the location the voice told her to go to tonight. Juliet check her phone and it was almost sundown.

Juliet realized who the voice is. It was Krane.

"Let's go get 'em!" Adam yelled again and starts to run again but stops suddenly. "Where's Pike's Crest?"

It didn't take long for the trio to leave, but Juliet was debating on following her. She knew it would be stupid, but she wants answers. That's all she wants.

She didn't want to find out what could happen if she didn't go. It's Krane. She didn't want to find out.

After the trio was gone, Juliet snuck out to follow them. She made sure to keep her distance, so she isn't seen.

——

~Pike's Creek; Junkyard~

Adam, Bree, and Chase got to the junkyard first and hid behind a couple barrels.

"All right, I know we haven't been the best of friends lately, but if we're gonna do this, we have to work together." Chase advised.

Bree nodded. "Agreed.

Which means I'm in charge." Chase smirks slightly.

"Oh, no, you're not!" Adam exclaimed.

SHH!" Bree covers his mouth

Adam groaned. Uhh!

"Get down!" Chase motioned for them to his and the trio looked at the device the bionic soldiers were building.

"What are they building?" Bree asked.

"That must be the communications equipment they stole." Chase guessed.

"They're probably just trying to get the Sunday football package. Ugh, I bet they're Jets fans!" Adam groaned.

Chase noticed there were more soldiers. "Wait, there were only eight before. Where did they come from?"

Suddenly, several kids geo-leap suddenly into the junkyard and the trio was shocked.

"It's an entire bionic army!" Chase gasped.

"What do we do?" Bree asked.

"I say we go back to hating each other and take our vacations." Adam suggested.

"No!" Chade protested. "If we're gonna take on that many, we need a better plan. Let's go tell Mr. Davenport and re-strategize."

"Good idea, let's go." Adam said and knocks over a box while standing up, alerting all the soldiers. "Uh-oh."

"Grab on!" Bree super speeds away with Adam and Chase as

A soldier, S-3, supersped forward with his green eyes glaring. "Get ready, brothers and sister. The war is coming."

Juliet waited a few moments, before she cautiously walked out of her hiding spot. The soldiers were distracted by Adam, Bree, and Chase and she took this opportunity to move. She didn't see Krane at all.

She is only hear to speak with Krane and leave. She just wants answers on why she keeps getting visions of him and hearing his voice over and over again.

"You're here."

Juliet gasped and turned around to see Krane had geo leaped behind her. The bionic soldiers rushed forward, and got into fighting positions which made Juliet backed away, putting her hands up. Krane stopped his bionic army from attacking and put his hands up.

"Relax, soldiers. She isn't here to fight." Krane assured his army. The soldiers backed away, but slowly formed a circle around Juliet and Krane. Juliet checked her surroundings and swallowed nervously, knowing she wouldn't be able to get out of here alive if she attacked.

"Quite the army you got here." Juliet awkwardly said, putting her hands in her back pockets.

"Impressive, is it not?" Krane questioned.

"Letting them do your dirty work?" Juliet grinned.

"Work smarter not harder." Krane remarked and stepped forward, putting his hands together. "I see my telepathic messages have been working."

"So, you really are communicating with me?" Juliet asked. "How are you doing that?"

"When you were a baby, I placed bionics inside your brain," Krane admitted and Juliet's eyes grew in shock. She couldn't believe what he just said.

"You placed a bionic chip inside a baby?" Juliet scoffed with disbelief.

"No, no," Krane chuckled darkly and got closer, which made Juliet lean back uncomfortably. "You were the first ever person to have neurological implanted bionics."

"So, I was your lab rat? Little guinea pig? You used your own daughter as a test subject?" Juliet asked him, and then realization hit as Krane's smirk grew. "Wait... I have bionics?"

"Your bionics were never activated because you have never stepped inside a capsule, but they should be inside your brain. Ready to be activated, which I can do for you if you'd like." Krane offered, lifting his hand up with a dark grin.

"No," Juliet shook her head, gritting her teeth together. "I know exactly what you are doing. Trying to get inside my head to mess with me and turn me into one of your bionic soldiers. Not happening."

"Suit yourself," Krane shrugged, walking by his daughter and her body followed him as he passed her. "Your little sister will enjoy all the fun with her bionic abilities and you will live in her shadow."

Juliet shut her eyes, trying to contain her anger. "Don't bring up Freya. She has nothing to do with this."

"Does she?" Krane asked and Juliet's glare intensified. "Before Freya was born, it was all about you. You had all the attention and love. Then, Freya was born and all that attention went from you to her.

"I know what you're doing and it's not working. My mother loves me and Freya equally," Juliet protested, clenching her fists.

"Fine." Krane backed up, putting his hands up. "You go on ahead out of here." The soldiers made a hole for Juliet to leave and she immediately started walking away. "You'll never know what's like to have all the power. Have more bionics than your sister."

Juliet's pace slowed down and she hated the fact she was listening to Krane.

"You could have all the power in the world." Krane continued and Juliet's feet stopped. Krane approached his daughter and Juliet didn't move, closing her eyes. She let out a heavy breath and Krane chuckled darkly, leaning closer to the red head. "One little click of a button and you could have any bionics you want." Juliet squeezed her eyes more shut and her heavy breathing got worse. "Be faster than Bree, smarter then Chase, and even stronger than your boyfriend Adam-"

"Don't you bring Adam up!" Juliet cried angrily. "Leave him, Chase, Bree, and everyone else out of this. Don't you even think of hurting my sister again."

Krane placed his hand on her shoulder and Juliet's breath hitched, feeling fear cover her body. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up straight and she froze. "I can promise you, Juliet. I won't be the only one hurting her."

Krane lifted up a remote and before Juliet could react, he pressed a button and Juliet gasped. Her eyes turned neon green and Krane laughed evilly as Juliet slowly smirked. Juliet was no longer herself, she was under Krane's control.

"Freya has a sister to take her out."

Krane made Juliet form fire in her hands and she blasted it toward a pile of boxes, burning them to a crisp. The fire continued to burn and Krane laughed loudly, patting Juliet's shoulders.

"Welcome home, my eldest daughter."

——

~Davenport Household; The Lab~

Has anyone seen Juliet?" Freya asked walking into the lab. "I haven't see her since Adam, Bree, and Chase left."

"I thought she was in the bathroom," Leo frowned with confusion. Davenport and Douglas shared a look.

"She isn't answering her phone." Freya said and started to get worried. "I'm worried."

"Let me call Cassandra," Douglas suggested and Freya gave him a look. "We did date in high school-"

"Don't remind me," Freya groaned as Douglas rolled his eyes, walking away.

"When did she leave?" Davenport asked Freya.

"I think she disappeared after Adam, Bree, and Chase left," Freya told him.

Davenport took a second to think about what she said and Leo frowned. "Wait...you don't think she followed them?"

"No, no, she wouldn't do that. That would be stupid," Freya remarked, now panicking at the thought of Juliet doing that.

"She would need a good reason for that. But, Juliet is smart she should have no reason to follow them," Davenport reasoned and shook his head.

Douglas walked back over to them. "Cassandra says she isn't at home. She hasn't seen her at all since you two left."

"Why would she go see Krane?" Freya asked them, feeling her hands shake from fear.

"Let's not jump to that conclusion," Douglas assured Freya, rubbing her back. "Cassandra is stopping by to see if she can help find her."

Freya slowly looked at Douglas who was grinning.

"It's not gonna happen," Leo told Douglas, whose smile dropped.

"It could-"

"No!" Freya cut Doulgas off. She did not want to even think about Chase being her brother.

Adam, Bree and Chase ran into the lab in a hurry. "Mr. Davenport! It's worse than we thought! Krane isn't just controlling a few random kids. He has an entire bionic army." Chase exclaimed.

"What?" Freya asked with shock, immediately thinking about her sister. Juliet was not with them; she is almost certain Krane has Juliet.

Davenport frowned. "A whole army? How is that possible?"

"When Krane bought my technology, he must've started genetically engineering those kids behind my back!" Douglas explained. Although it does explain the hundreds of baby pictures all over his warehouse."

Adam noticed his girlfriend wasn't here. "Where's Jules?"

"She disappeared when you guys left. You haven't seen her?" Freya asked with panic.

"We haven't seen her," Chase shook his head.

"What if Krane has her?" Freya asked, feeling fear fill her body. She started to shake, worried sick for her. Chase noticed and put his hand lightly on the small of her back.

"That doesn't make sense, how would he get her?" Bree frowned. "She is smart enough not to leave and go see him."

"She also isn't answering her phone," Freya replied.

"We have have to go find her." Adam declared, worried for Juliet.

Chase stopped Adam from leaving. "We can't just rush out here with no plan."

"With no way to track her, it will be impossible to find her." Douglas mentioned.

"If she went to see Krane, she has to be at the junkyard," Leo told them.

"Let's go get her." Adam went to leave, but Freya saw the monitor turn on. A video call connects to the lab, showing the President with Krane behind him

"Krane!" Leo and Freya gasped. Everyone turned their attention to the screen, walking up to it. Freya started to get nervous, fearing the worst for her sister.

"Aw, nice job, Mr. President, you caught Krane. Our work here is done." Adam smiled.

"I think it's the opposite, Adam." Freya glanced at Adam. Chase glanced at a scared freya and stayed close to her, gently putting a hand around her waist. Even if they weren't on good terms, he will always make sure she is alright.

President shifted his eyes nervously to Krane. "Whatever you do, do not negotiate with this man."

Krane laughed menacingly. "I don't negotiate." The President attempts to flee but Krane uses his bionics to stop him. "Sit...down!"

"How did you escape?" Leo asked.

"It's amazing what an army of bionic teenagers can do when they really put their minds together." Krane grinned.

Chase tightened his grip on Freya. "We're onto you, Krane. We know you're using your Triton app to control them."

"Oh, I'm not just controlling them. Now that I've perfected this technology, I can transmit the Triton app to anyone. Allow me to demonstrate." Krane pulls out a device and puts it above the President's head. Krane activated the device and the President's eyes turned green, now under the control of the Triton App. "Well, will you look at that? Now the most powerful man in the world...is under my control." Krane starts laughing and the group all share worried looks.

"Where's my sister?" Freya asked, picking at her skin nervously. Chase softly grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"I swear if you hurt her-" Adam began angrily, clenching his fists.

"Relax," Krane assured Adam, chuckling. "I didn't hurt her. She is perfectly fine. Right, Juliet?"

Juliet walked into the frame with her eyes glowing green. "Yes, father."

"Juliet," Freya gasped as the others were in shock.

"What did you do to her?" Adam seethed, fuming angrily.

"I didn't do anything. She came to me." Krane told him. "I now have full control over my oldest daughter. It's a shame I couldn't do the same with my other child."

Chase physically pulled Freya closer, glaring heavily at Krane. "Don't even think about that."

"Why are you doing all this, Krane?" Davenport asked Krane.

"Ordinary humans are inferior. My soldiers have proven that. So together, we're gonna create one nation-state under the bionic rule." Krane explained

"Juliet's not even bionic," Leo frowned in confusion.

"You sure about that?" Krane smirked and everyone watched Juliet lift her hand, forming a ball of fire. Everyone was bewildered by this sight

"You gave Juliet bionics?" Douglas asked in shock.

Chase frowned. "So, that's your plan? To create a bionic dictatorship?"

"No one in their right mind would ever bow down to you," Bree told Krane.

"They won't have a choice! Once my Triton signal connects with the government's satellites, it'll beam an electromagnetic wave over the entire planet. Then..." Krane explained and smirked. "I'll be the most powerful man in the world."

"Good luck. You can't access the government's satellites without the classified security code." Davenport grinned smugly.

"Oh, right." Krane showed the tablet to The President. "And that is?" The President enters the code while under influence of the Triton app.

Davenport shifted his gaze sheepishly. "Well, he obviously planned this out."

"There. Now the satellites are orbiting right into the path of my Triton signal. Don't you just love technology?" Krane grinned menacingly. "And one more thing... Juliet, take out your little sister."

"Yes, father." Juliet eyes glowed angrily as she walked off screen and the video call ended.

Freya froze in terror as the screen shut off. "Oh my gosh..."

Chase turned her toward him, putting his hands on her arms. "We will save your sister before she can do anything."

Freya didn't really respond and just nodded.

"We promise you," Davenport assured her.

Cassandra rushed into the lab. "Where's my daughter?"

Freya turned to see her mom. "I'm right here."

Cassandra hugged Freya. "I was talking about Juliet."

"Mom," Freya frowned as the two pulled away. "Krane has Juliet and is controlling her with his Triton App."

"What?!" Cassandra cried out.

"We will save her and we still make sure nothing happens to her or Freya," Douglas assured Cassandra, putting his arm around her.

"Douglas..." Cassandra sneered and he removed his arm.

"Right. Sorry." Douglas apologized.

"Krane's army is constructing a satellite dish. That must be how they're gonna transmit the signal." Chase told everyone.

Adam nodded. "Okay, we have to shut it down."

"But how? He has too many soldiers." Bree asked.

"We don't have a choice. If Krane succeeds, it'll be the end of the world as we know it." Douglas mentioned.

"He's right, but if you're gonna face a whole army, I'm gonna have to max out your bionics. Get in your capsules." Davenport told the bionic trio and they rushed to their capsules. "Douglas, Cassandra, go and find us our most powerful weapons." Douglas and Cassandra rushed off. "And Leo and Freya-"

Leo sighed. "We know, stay here and monitor everything on the com-set."

"We got it," Freya rolled her eyes.

"No not this time. You're both coming with us." Davenport objected and the two froze, sharing a confused look.

"What?" Freya asked.

"Is this another "Let's use Leo or Freya as bait" plan?" Leo folded his arms as the trio left their capsules.

"No, we need all the help we can get, and after all the hard training you two have put in, you've earned the right to fight alongside this family." Davenport explained to the two teens, who looked at the bionic trio in shock. Adam, Bree, and Chase nod proudly.

"Yay!" Freya giggled happily as Leo started to cheer and run around the Lab.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Whoo!" Leo runs around lab and does a cart wheel. Freya stopped her happy laughing and watched Leo. "Yes! Yes! Ha ha! Ya-ha! Ha!" Leo comes back and calm downs, maintaining his cool. "Let's do this."

"I'm proud of you guys," Bree smiled.

"Way to go." Chase grinned.

"Don't mess it up." Adam said.

——

Leo and Freya enter the lab in their new mission suits. Leo's was a thick black leather jacket with the Lab Rats logo on his chest. The right side of his arm jacket was red and it came with a hood. He has combat boots and pants on.

(Freya's suit. Art by @coffeereadsanonymous on Pinterest. Imagine the purple is replaced by red.)

Freya had never felt so cool. She loved the suit more than anything. It made her figure look great and really showed off her curves.

Leo and Freya stood side by side as they entered. Leo removed his hood and Freya's flow of her hair behind her shoulder.

"Well? What do you think?" Davenport asked them. Chase's eyes were glued to Freya, he couldn't look away. He thought she looked amazing.

"I'll be wearing this 24/7," Freya grinned, looking down at her suit.

I'm totally fine with that. She looks amazing. Chase thought to himself, smirking.

"Yeah, I think you should donate the rest of my clothes to charity, because I am never taking this thing off." Leo says and Davenport chuckled.

"Wait! One more thing." Douglas presses buttons on console. "There. I just unlocked a new ability for you both. Leo, you have. Energy transference. Now your bionic hand will be able to absorb energy from any power source. Go ahead. Give it a shot."

Leo lifts his hand toward the light and uses his jew ability to absorb all the power from it. Freya smiled when she saw all the energy in his hand.

Leo smiled widely. "No way! Oh, I could definitely get used to this."

"Nice, Leo, now you can suck all the energy out of things. Just like Chase!" Adam grinned, patting Chase's shoulder. Chase's smile fell and looked at Adam.

"Freya," Douglas said and she smiled excitedly. "You have an ability called Intangibility. You can now phrase through any sort of physical matter. Even people."

Freya let out a small gasp as Douglas continued. "Think of walking through this desk."

Freya glanced at the bionic trio and Chase was smiling at her. Freya walked to the desk and she let out a big gasp as her body walked through it like it was a cloud.

"Woah," Adam chuckled.

"This feels weird," Freya laughed as she looked down at her body encased by the desk. "I love it!"

Freya stepped out of the desk and her and Leo high fived. Freya and Chase shared an exchange, smiling softly at one another.

——

~Pike's Crest: Junkyard~

Adam, Bree, Chase, Leo, Freya, Davenport, Cassandra, and Douglas walk in a dramatic slow-mo, looking all cool and decked out with their mission suite and weapons. However, they eventually came to a stop when they saw the junkyard was empty.

"And there's nobody here." Chase sighed.

"We look good for nothing," Freya throwing her hands up and shook her head.

"Maybe they left," Bree shrugged.

"Where would they go?" Douglas asked.

"Well, Jets are playing Green Bay." Adam reasoned.

Bree gestured to Adam. "C'mon, let's go make sure they're not hiding over there." Her and Adam walk away.

"I'll calculate the satellite's trajectory to see how much time we have left." Chase scans it with his bionic eye. "Only eight minutes until Krane's signal connects with that satellite."

With Adam and Bree, they walk to another area and it was empty. "This area is clear." Suddenly, a few bionic soldiers geo-leap into the clearing."And not anymore."

Back with the others, Davenport gestures to Leo. "Leo, go help Adam and Bree. We'll take care of that satellite dish."

"Copy that," Leo nodded and runs off to help Adam and Bree.

Davenport, Cassandra, and Douglas walk away and Chase and Freya are left alone. The two share an awkward glance and immediately look away, looking around for any soldiers.

Freya hated this awkward tension with Chase. Chase hated it just as much.

Freya started to fiddle with her fingers, looking down at them. She couldn't pick her fingers cause of the gloves. Chase caught Freya messing with her fingers and he decided to slowly approach her.

Freya didn't realize how nervous she was getting. She felt anxiety fill her body, fearing the worst. She fears she will lose her sister or her sister will take her out. Or worse Krane will take everyone out.

Chase placed a hand over her hands and Freya immediately stopped, slowly looking up at the youngest Davenport. The two stared at one another with soft gazes for a moment, before Freya let out the smallest smile.

"Everything will be okay," Chase assured her, squeezing her hand.

"Chase," Freya sighed. "I'm so sorry-"

"No, you have nothing to apologize for." Chase stopped her, shaking his head. "I acted out inappropriately and I'm so sorry for getting upset at you. It was wrong."

Freya felt a bunch of relief get lifted off her shoulders and let out a small sigh, smiling.

"I forgive you," Freya told him and Chase smiled softly.

"Are we still together?" Chase asked, rubbing his neck awkwardly.

"I don't think we ever broke up," Freya remarked, chuckling.

"Good good," Chase let out a small laugh and Freya giggled.

"Well, if it isn't the smart one and his little girlfriend." Chase and Freya turned to see a soldier standing there. It was S-3 and standing next to him was Juliet.

Chase immediately placed himself in front of Freya. Freya's heart broke at the sight of her sister, who was glaring menacingly back at Freya.

"We're much more than that," Chase challenged.

"Yeah, I'm not little," Freya scoffed and this got looks from each of them. "What?"

Chase and Freya shared a grin as they each formed their respective weapon in hand. Chase had his laser bo and Freya formed his electric whip.

Juliet and S-3 shared a chuckle. "Those are cute." S-3 remarked. "Too bad this isn't a piñata party." S-3 forms a red pitchfork laser bo in his hand and Juliet forms two fire whips in her hands.

Chase and Freya shared a nervous look and adjusted their suits.

"Okay, then," Chase said.

"I got my sister. You go after him," Freya instructed and Chase nodded.

With Davenport, Douglas, and Cassandra. They were blasting incoming soldiers with their weapons, until they had a clear shot to get to the satellite dish.

"We gotta take out the satellite dish!" Douglas exclaimed.

"Look, we got a clear shot!" Davenport pointed out and they start to run forward to the satellite dish.

Krane suddenly geo-leaps in front of them, stopping the three.

"Correction, you had a clear shot." Krane grinned.

"Okay, I know he's the bad guy, but his timing is impeccable." Cassandra pointed out. "I should know I was married to him."

Back with Chase and Freya, they were already battling S-3 and Juliet.

Freya and Juliet were attacking each other with their whips, but each managed to block each attack. Juliet eventually managed to swipe Freya off her feet and she fell down on her back. Freya quickly rolled out of the way and flipped onto her feet. She did a side aerial, dodging Juliet's whips and hit her back with her whip. Juliet stumbled forward, feeling the electricity shock for a moment. Juliet recovered and faced her sister, breathing heavily.

Juliet rushed forward and slashed at her sister with both her whips, but Freya used her intangibility to phase through it and than countered it. Juliet stumbled back as Freya spun around and whipped Juliet in the torso, electrifying her.

Juliet quickly recovered and made her whips vanished. In between Freya's attacks, Juliet blasted her fire vision at Freya and she got knocked back, falling to the ground. Her whip vanished and she groaned, sitting up.

Chase had just finished taking down S-3 successfully and he turned to see Juliet about to attack Freya. He quickly ran over and slid in front of his girlfriend, generating his force field. Juliet launched a fire blast and it got deflected by the force field, which made it bounce back and hit Juliet.

Juliet yelled as she got blasted back and landed against a pile of barrels. Chase's forcefield vanished and her turned to his girlfriend, helping her to her feet.

"Thank you," Freya exhaled and Chase nodded.

"Go check on your sister. I'll go find Adam and Bree." Chase instructed his girlfriend and they went to go their separate ways, but Chase stopped and grabbed Freya. He pulled her in and kissed her, gripping her waist tightly.
Freya was too stunned by this moment and Chase pulled away before she could react.

Chase gave her a wink and rushed off, leaving a flustered Freya.

"Okay!" Freya called out, chuckling to herself. Moments later, Freya composed herself and rushed over to Juliet.

With Davenport, Cassandra, and Douglas, they were sending multiple blasts at Krane, who wasn't affected by then at all. Krane eventually sent a blast at Douglas, knocking him down. Davenport caught Douglas's blaster and him amd Cassandra were left to face Krane. In slow motion, Krane sent an electricity blast at Davenport and Cassandra , who both leaped in the air to dodge, firing multiple blast from their weapons.

Both adults landed on the ground with a thud as Krane geo leaped away.

"Ow," Cassandra groaned, sitting up and she saw Douglas on the ground. She quickly went over to him. "Douglas."

"Cassandra," He groaned, taking her hand. "Go on without me. It hurts too much."

Cassandra rolled her eyes at his dramatics. "You're fine."

Douglas stopped being dramatic as Cassandra let go of his hand and walked away.

"Worth the shot," Douglas sighed.

With Freya, she was standing over her sister, who was unconscious on the ground. She knelt down and took her gloved covered hand.

"Please be okay," Freya softly mumbled. "I can't do this without you."

Cassandra rushed over to Freya. Freya noticed her mother and gave her a sorrowful look.

"Oh," Cassandra sighed, kneeling down next to Freya.

"Mom," Freya said. "Will she be okay?"

Cassandra glanced between both her daughters and shrugged, uncertainly. "We can we only hope. I'll stay here with her, you go help the others."

"But-"

"Honey," Cassandra cut her off, putting a hand in her shoulder. "Go."

Freya hesitated and looked at Juliet, before she nodded and ran off.

Freya ran over to see Adam, Bree, and Chase fighting off more soldiers. No matter how many they fought, the soldiers kept appearing.

"Guys, we only have three minutes!" Chase exclaimed and kicks an approaching soldier.

"We'll never get past all of them in time!" Bree yelled and uses her super kick on an approaching soldier.

"Every time we take out five, twenty more show up!" Adam added and punches approaching soldier away.

Two more soldiers appeared and Freya ran in front of the trio, using her whip to blast the two soldiers back.

"Nice Rey!" Adam praised and she gave them a smile.

Chase had a realization. "Wait...we don't have to take out the army or stop the satellite signal."

Adam, Bree, and Freya frowned in confusion. "Then why are we here?!" Adam asked.

"If we take out Krane, the Triton app will be disabled and the soldiers will deactivate." Chase explained.

"But how? Krane is a powerhouse, and we're already exhausted. There's no way we're gonna beat him in time." Bree reasoned.

Douglas suddenly popped out from behind a bush. "Yes, there is! ..." The four teens gave him a look. "I'm not hiding. I'm...picking berries to use as weapons. They could be poisonous!" Douglas stood up and approached the four. "Look, Adam, Bree, Chase, when I created your chips, I installed a link that fuses all of your bionics so you could fight as one."

"Wait, why didn't you tell us this before?" Bree asked him.

"Because it's never been tested." Douglas reasoned. "The results...could be catastrophic."

"We only have two minutes left." Chase said and hesitantly continued. "How do we do it?"

Freya looked at her boyfriend. "Chase, did you not hear him? If you fuse your abilities, you may not make it."

"We have no choice. We're the only chance this world has." Chase told her and Freya looked between him and the others.

"Chase-"

"Freya," Chase stopped her, taking her hand and she hesitantly reacted. She let out a soft sigh and nodded reluctantly.

Adam nodder. "He's right."

Freya squeezed Chase's hand and they looked at each other as Bree spoke. "Okay. What do we do?"

"Chase, use your Override app on Adam and Bree. Then stand back-to-back so that your chips form a perfect triangle. The energy will flow from one person to the next until you've built up a massive force." Douglas explained. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my bush. Freya, you may want to join me."

Douglas went back to his bush and Freya stayed back, looking at the trio.

Freya immediately hugged Chase tightly, fearing this may be their last hug. Chase squeezed her tight, holding her head gently. They pulled away to arms length and Chase kissed her like he would never kiss her again.

Freya hated when they pulled away, already missing the feeling of him. Freya turned to Bree and hugged her. She then turned to Adam and hugged him.

"Tell Juliet I love her for me." Adam mumbled, feeling tears welling in his eyes. Freya squeezed her eyes shut against his chest and nodded. Tears fell from her eyes, sniffling.

"I will." Freya said we they pulled away and she gave them one last look, before joining Douglas. Freya didn't know if she wanted to watch or look away.

Bree nodded. "All right. C'mon, let's go."

Chase stopped them. "Wait. In case anything happens to us, I want you guys to know that I'm really sorry about the way I acted."

Bree smiled sincerely. "Me too."

Adam grinned. Apologies accepted and they look at him. He gets serious. "Okay, I'm sorry, too."

"All right. Let's do this." Chase said they walk over to the crowd of soldiers and Krane.

Back with Cassandra and Juliet. Cassandra waited patiently for her daughter to wake up. If she ever was going too.

Juliet suddenly gasped, sitting up with her normal eye color.

"Juliet!" Cassandra laughed with relief and the red head looked around with confusion.

"What happened?" Juliet asked and recognized the junkyard. "Wait, this is where Krane is. We have-"

"No, no," Cassandra calmed her down, stopping her. "Don't move. You went through a lot. Krane was controlling you, but your sister saved you."

Juliet frowned, looking around. "He what?" She noticed some burn marks on her clothes. "What happened?"

"Krane gave you bionics in hopes you would be his soldier." Cassandra carefully explained and the red head's eyes grew.

"I do remember him mentioning that, but my memory is very foggy right now." Juliet rubbed her head, groaning.

"It's okay." Cassandra assured her and smiled, placing her hand on her cheek. "I'm glad you're okay."

Juliet smiled back softly. "I'm glad you're okay too."

Back with Adam, Bree, and Chase, they had just approached Krane and his ground is soldiers at the satellite dish.

"Let them through." Krane told his army. The soldiers cleared a path and the trio walked in. "I think it's time we finish this, don't you? You could have ruled right alongside us. But instead, you chose to defy me. And, for what? To sacrifice yourselves for a world of ungrateful humans that won't even accept you!"

Chase glared at him. "They may not accept us, but it's our mission to protect them."

Krane laugh. "Then I guess...this is the end of you!" Krane's army begins to charge towards the trio. Krane stops them. "Stand back, soldiers! I want this victory all to myself."

Chase quickly links Adam and Bree to his Override app. "Get into position." The trio stand back to back and link arms, and a circle of energy starts to form at their feet.

Krane laughs. "Silly children, ,you're no match for me." Krane begs in to fork his own energy.

Adam, Bree, and Chase grunt with pain as they create more and more energy. The circle of energy encases them slowly as Krane's energy grows and grows.

"The signal transmits in ten seconds!" Chase yelled.

"Your day has come!" Krane yelled.

Chase stared to count. Five seconds! Four...three..."

Krane screamed out. "THE WORLD IS MINE!!!!!!"

Juliet and Cassandra rush over to witness the battle and Freya comes out of hiding to meet her family.

"Now!" Chase yelled and they lean forward and blast Krane into the sky with their linked ability. The signed transmit blasted in the sky, but it glitched out and vanished, failing to transmit.

Adam, Bree, and Chase collapsed and Freya, Juliet, and Cassandra rush over to them.

Freya immediately went up to Chase, checking on him. She was beyond relief they were all okay.

Juliet knelt down next to Adam, taking his hand. "Adam..."

Adam groaned and saw the red head above him. "Juliet!"

Cassandra helped Bree sit up and Bree noticed they had succeeded. "It worked!" Bree said as all the soldiers collapsed to the ground. "The Triton app is deactivated!"

Juliet helped Adam up and he immediately hugged her, lifting her in the air. "You're okay! I was so worried!"

Juliet giggled, hugging him back. "I am now."

Adam pulled away so he can see her face, still holding her up. He kissed her and Juliet hummed, kissing back.

Freya helped Chase up and the couple shared a tight hug. "You're okay! I was so scared I was gonna lose you."

"You won't lose me," Chase assured her, caressing her cheek and gently kissed her.

Douglas ran into the clearing, laughing. "Yes! You did it!"

Adam put down Juliet, keeping his arm round her. "Wait, guys. I don't want this to be our final mission."

Bree smiled. "Then it looks like we're a team again."

"No, I mean, I wanna do one more but that's it." Adam said and Juliet rolled her eyes, smacking his chest.

"Guys! Get over here, quick!"

Adam, Bree, Chase, Freya, Juliet, Cassandra, and Douglas look up to see Leo kneeling over an unconscious Davenport.

The group rushed over and looked over Davenport. "I don't think he's breathing!"

Chase kneels next to Donald, checking for a pulse. He looks at everyone in worry and concern.

——

~The Lab~

Everyone was back in the lab, waiting to hear any sort of news on Davenport. Tasha was at the hospital with him. All they could do was wait and it was a painful waiting game.

Breaking the silence, Leo's phone rings. He answers it. "Mom! How's Big D?" Leo walks away.

Douglas sighed. "Poor Donny. This is all my fault. I should've protected him."

"Douglas, I was there too. I should have stayed back and helped," Cassandra objected, putting a hand on his arm.

"This is all on me, Cassie," Douglas shook his head.

"Don't blame yourself, guys." Adam interfered and looks toward Chase. "Blame Chase."

"Adam," Juliet sighed, nudging him. No was amused.

Chase ignored him. "It's no one's fault."

Adam leaned to Douglas. "See, that's what people say when it is their fault."

Freya shook her head, resting her head on Chase's arm and holding his hand.

Leo walks toward them and they stand up, anxious of any sort of good news. Freya held Chase's arm with one hand and the other she intertwined their fingers together.

"How is he?" Bree asked.

"Not good. He's out of surgery, but it's still touch and go." Leo answered and everyone shared sorrowfully expressions.

Chase sighed. "Then I guess all we can do is wait."

——

Later on, Adam, Bree, Chase, Juliet, Leo, and Freya are on a video conference with the President. Cassandra went home and Douglas was upstairs.

"Thank you for setting aside your personal difference to fight for a greater good." The President told the team.

"You're welcome, Craig!" Adam smiled and Juliet hits Adam. "I'm sorry, Mr. uh President. Guess we're not there yet, are we?"

Bree jumped in, saving that awkward moment. "Anyway, I think you'll be happy to know that the team is back, sir."

"With a few new members," Freya grinned at Leo and Juliet, who all shared smiles.

"There may be some people who still don't accept us, but...that doesn't matter. We know who we are." Chase told The President and Freya held his hand, sharing a soft smile with him.

"You're heroes. And I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure the world knows that." The President declared.

"Better yet, why don't you just cut to the chase and put this on a twenty?" Leo gestured to his face.

The President laughs wholeheartedly. "I like you, kid. You always know how to make me laugh."

Leo glared at him as the others chuckled to themselves. Chase and Freya looked at each other and Chase put his arm around her, smiling down at his girlfriend happily.

Up Next: Bionic House Party

Beefy chapter. Lot happened here. Little over 8k words written.

You are probably confused about why I made you chose between Freya and Juliet. I sort of tricked you with that. Whoever was chosen the least was the one to get controlled by Krane. Tbf, I knew you all would pick Freya, so I predicted it. I had it planned out haha.

Juliet is bionic now. Her abilities are mainly fired based. She has pyrokinesis, heat vision, two fire whips, and superspeed.

Reminder of what Freya has. Electrokinesis, electric whip, molecular kinesis, and intangibility.

Both will gain more later on in the series.
