Cyrus Noble Chapter 4

I was woken up from another restless night by a little blond girl. Sara. She smiled and said, "Good morning. Jazz made breakfast, with Arsenal's help of course. She wanted everybody to be up by the time its done." I took a deep breath. "Gimme a sec, Okay?" She said, "Okay!" and ran off, her toy squirrel tight in her grip. I got up and got my usual clothes on. A T-shirt, Cameo pants, and combat boots. I keep them because they can be seriously lethal when I need them. I popped my back and neck, the way I always do, and then went off to see what Jazz was burning this time. I walked into the kitchen/lounge/break room that was placed in the dam. Megan, Magnet, and Sara were watching something on TV. Magnet was wearing his favorite goggles. He found them one day and claimed them to be good luck. He hardly takes them off his head, and they are never in the too far away from Magnet. I saw Jazz and Arsenal in the kitchen, hovering over skillets and/or ovens and microwaves. I said, "Jazz! What are you doing?" She jumped and spun around to me. "What?" she asked. "We don't need it to be like Chernobyl in here." She rolled her eyes. "Oh, you are so hilarious, that I forgot to laugh." Viktor stumbled on in. He whistled to get his bearings, as if he didn't have them already. After we moved the furniture on him once, he doesn't go into any room with whistling and using his sonar to know where stuff is. He then said, "I am here. What are your other two wishes?" I rolled my eyes, then I realized that was useless on him and said, "I'm rolling my eyes Viktor. My wish is for you to go away." As I sat down on the couch he said, "That still leaves one more wish." He sat down on the other end without missing. I said, "In that case, I wish you would go even farther away." He whistled, as if he was impressed. "Harsh." he said. After we ate breakfast, I was about to head everybody down to the training room when I felt a violent rumbling. Everyone felt it and froze. I was listening intently. I looked over at Viktor. He had more advanced hearing than I did. He said, "Is that......a helicopter?" Just then the world exploded. When the ringing in my ears faded I looked around at what happened. There was a huge, gaping hole in the wall. Straight through the lounge wall and straight through the outer wall of the dam. Hovering there was the helicopter. I said, "Everyone! Back door! Move, move, move!" Viktor had Magnet and Megan by there hands and led them out the other door. I picked up a still dazed Sara and tossed her to Jazz. "Get outta here!" I said. She scrambled out the door after the others. I saw Arsenal getting up from under a pile of rubble. I said, "Arsenal, get over here, I need you!" He got over to me. "Do you have any kind of defensive protocols; besides hand-to-hand combat?" He said, "Yes." He turned towards the Chopper and put out his hands. The hands unfolded, and refolded into what looked like weapons with rounded off ends and holes on the round ends. They started spinning, and started firing. Within seconds the window of the Chopper had cracked holes in it and it reared back like an animal in pain. Then it spun toward the ground and hit it with a satisfying explosion. I flashed a grin at the robot. "Nice." I said. "Now, let's go find the others and get out of here!"
