17. Rise of the Cyborgs part 2

Bobby couldn't believe what he was seeing. Carol Prigney was in his house. Not only that, she was a cyborg. A cyborg!

"What are you doing here Carol?" Bobby asked trying and failing to sound threatening.

"I was in the neighbourhood and I decided to drop by your house and your mom and I had a little chat." Carolborg said. "Oh and it's Carolborg now."

"What happened to you?" Bobby asked. "Why are you like this?"

Carolborg sighs and gives Bobby her story. "A few day ago, me and Adam were caught in explosion from a hair ball that landed on my car. When we woke up we had this robot parts on us and our lives were ruined. I can never go to the mall or be homecoming Queen again." Carol said. "Even Adam can't go to college with his football scholarship."

"Wow Carol. I'm so sorry." Bobby tells her. "But why are you doing all this? You could be using these powers for good."

"Because it was the L-Crew that did this to me!" Carolborg yells. "They abandoned us! They could've tried to prevent my car from exploding but they decided that going after a giant cat was more important!" Her human eye sheds a tear. "I've lost everything because of them. I can't go home. I can't go to school. I can never have a family because of the L-Crew!"

"They probably didn't know that your car was going to explode." Bobby said.

"Doesn't matter. This is who I am now." Carolborg says. "And i don't plan on changing any time."

"But you are so much more than this!" Maria shouts.

"Shut up!" Carolborg yells. She grabs the cloth from the table and ties it across Maria's mouth once again. "And you wondered why I gagged you."

"What do you want with my mom?" Bobby asked.

"It's not your mom I want." said Carolborg.

"One of my cousins?" Bobby asked.

"No a Santiago." Carolborg said.

"You're not laying a hand on my little sister!" Bobby shouted.

Carolborg lets out a harsh laugh. "No Bobby. I don't want your sister. I want you."

Bobby's eyes widened. "Me? Why?"

"Well, it's two different reasons." Carolborg tells him. "My employer want you to test this serum." She then walks up to him. "As for me, I just want you. I want to be with you. I want to be your babe. I want to be the future Mrs. Santiago."

"What about Adam?" Bobby asked.

"He's like the jock version of Leni. He rather hang out with the team than me." said Carol. "And his name is Adamborg."

"Dumbest names I ever heard." said Bobby." But I'm with Lori."

Carolborg walks up to him and puts a hand on his shoulder. "Bobby, you don't need her. She isn't all great. Look at what she's done to her brother and sisters. I can make you happy." She then kisses him. While she's kissing him, she injects him with the serum.

Bobby parted from the kiss and and rubs his neck. "Why are you going to do to me?" Bobby asked. "What was in that needle?"

"I have no idea." Carolborg shrugged.

"But look Carol, it can't happen between us." Bobby tells her.

"Why?" Carolborg asks, her voice breaking.

"I'm with Lori and your with Adam. I can't let that happen. I'm sorry." Bobby says.

"Fine!" Carolborg angrily. "You leave me no choice. I know what I have to do now." She then punches Bobby, knocking him out. "I have to destroy Lori. And then, you'll be mine."

At the L-Crew base, the team were waiting for an update from Lisa on the virus.

"C'mon Lisa. What's taking so long?" Lori asks herself quietly. While Lori was wondering what was taking Lisa so long, the reat of the team were keeping busy. Luna was jamming on her guitar and Lana was playing leapfrog with Hops as a frog.

"So do frogs actually do this?" Lana asked.

"No. This is just a game you humans made up." Hops answered.

"Oh I see." said Lana.

Lucy was sitting in a dark corner with Fangs on her head writing a poem.

"Got anything that rhymes with Rocky?" Lucy asked her faithful companion.

"I don't think anything rhymes with Rocky, Lucy." Fangs told her

"Locky, docky, you're right Fangs." Lucy replied.

"Use Rock instead of Rocky." Fangs suggested.

"Ok." Lucy said.

Not far away, Lincoln was playing a game of cards with Charles, Cliff, Walt and Geo while Lola and Leni got the fire proof goo out of his hair.

"Alright boys, place your bets." Lincoln tells them.

"I'm betting this donut." Charles said.

"Two packs of sunflower seed." said Geo.

"This bottle of milk." said Cliff.

"Twenty bucks." Walt bets.

"Where did you get money?" Lincoln asks.

"We take it from the couch." Walt answers.

"Ok show me what you got." said Lincoln.

"Full doghouse!" Charles said and showed his cards.

"Dang it!" Everyone except Cliff said.

"Four aces and a king." Cliff says slamming down his cards. "This cat is out of the bag and is awesome." said Cliff and did a victory dance.

Charles growls and pounces and the dog and cat form a fight cloud.

"Well that happened." Lincoln said. "Hey Leni and Lola, are you almost done getting the goo out yet?"

"We're almost done Linky." Leni said.

"I still can't believe that you went toe-to-toe with Adamborg!" Lola exclaimed while pulling some goo out of Lincoln's hair.

"Same here and I almost had him." Lincoln said.

"Yeah. You had him until Carolborg got involved." Lynn said from where she was punching her car punching bag.

"I know right." Luan agreed as she walked in with Lily in her arms. "But Linc, how are you able to breathe fire?"

"I just happened I guessed." said Lincoln.

"Just make sure fire doesn't get out the back door." said Ronnie Anne reading a Wonder Woman comic.

"No promises." Lincoln told her. "I have no control down there."

Lori watched as her siblings relaxed and had fun. This was one of the few times they could relax. But deep down she knew that the two cyborgs were still out there. And they needed to be stopped. Lori sighed and continued to wait for Lisa to check in when her phone rang. Lori looked down and saw it was Bobby.

Lori picks up her phone and answers it. "Hey BooBoo bear." Lori said.

"Hello Lori." Lori's eyed widened when she heard who called.

"Carol?" Lori says surprised. The rest of the siblings look up from what they were doing when they heard Lori say that name.

"Hey. Long time no talk." Carolborg says.

"Where's Bobby?" Lori asks.

"Don't worry. He and his mother are safe. For now." Carolborg tells her.

"What do you want?" Lori asked.

"Simple to kill you. So I can be Bobby's babe." Carolborg said.

"Not going to happen." Lori says.

"Thought you might say that." Carolborg says. "How about we do this: you come to the Santiago household alone and I'll release Bobby and his mother."

"And if I don't?" Lori asks.

"Simple Lori. I'll kill both of them." Carolborg answers. "Also, if I suspect that you told the L-Crew, I will kill them. I suggest you hurry. You don't have much time. Bye." The line goes dead. Lori puts down her phone and turns to her siblings. She saw that Lincoln was doing his best to calm Ronnie Anne down.

"It's going to be okay Ronnie Anne." Lincoln said.

"I can't lose Bobby and my mom!" Ronnie Anne shouted with tears going down her face. "They'll all I have left since my dad died."

"We'll save them." Lincoln promises.

"So do we have a plan?" Luna asks. Lori is about to answer when the alarm goes off.

"What now?" Lori groans. Clyde rushes to the computer and his eyes widen.

"Guys! We got a problem!" Clyde says. "Adamborg is in the city!" The Louds gasp at this.

"Great. Just what we need." Lori groans.

"Lori, what do we do?" Leni asks. Lori looks at them and sees that they are nervous.

"Ok. Lynn, you go to the University and get Lisa. We need that virus. Luna, you take Leni, Lincoln, Lana, Lola and Lily and go after Adamborg. Lynn, after you grab Lisa i want you two to meet up with Luna's team." Lori orders.

"Right." Lynn says.

"Got it sis." Luna nods.

"What about me and Lucy?" Luan asks.

"Yeah, what about us?" Lucy adds.

"You'll be coming with me." Lori tells them.

Meanwhile Adamborg flips over a car and shoot missiles at a tanker causing it to explode. "Finally! I finally have enough power to have some real fun!" Adamborg says. He then a bus and lifts it up. "School's out!" He throws the bus and it is caught by Wildgirl in gorilla form.

The bus opens up and the passengers along with the bus driver runs away.

"That's enough Adamborg!" Amplifier shouts. Adamborg turns around and sees the six L-Crew members.

"Seems like your short a few members. Where are they? Too scared to fight?" Adamborg mocks.

"No, they had other things to do." said Multipe Girl

"But we're going to kick your butt!" Crystal Princess shouted.

"Bring it. I'll start with the dork." Adamborg tells them.

"Bring it!" Firecracker shouts.

"I got enough power. To have some fun putting you in a body cast!" Adamborg said

Amplifer smirked and said. "My grandma can throw harder than you!"

Firecracker throws a fireball at Adamborg while Amplifier fires an electric stream at him.

Adamborg flies back and hits a truck on impact.

"This should come in handy." Adamborg then lifts the truck and throws it at Amplifier and Firecracker. The two prepare for impact but Crystal Princess slices it in half.

"You have to do better than that punk!" Crystal Princess shouted.

Then Wildgirl turns into a Dilophosaurus and spits it venom at Adamborg's face.

"Gah! Damn it!" Adamborg shouts. Multiple Girl then surrounds Adamborg and they take turns hitting him. Adamborg then opend his eye and fires a blast in the sky.

"You missed!" Muiltipe girl shouted as Crystal Princess laughed.

"Um dudes? Look up." Amplifier tells them. They look up and see the blast that was fired exploded in the air and raining down. "Move!" Amplifier grabs the twins and rolls out of the way while Firecracker grabs Greenthumb and pushes Multiple Girl into cover.

"I hope Parkour and Prodigy get here soon." Firecracker said to himself.

At Royal Woods University, Prodigy and Professor Stuart were finishing up one of the viruses.

"In just a moment we will have the virus downloaded onto the flash drive. However we will have to download it twice." Stuart tells Prodigy.

"I just hope those cyborgs aren't causing trouble." said a Prodigy.

Then Parkour breaks down the door. "Prodigy the cyborgs are loose in the city! Carolborg has the this mother and son hostage!"

"Dang it." Prodigy says. "Alright let's go."

"But Prodigy, we only have one virus. You will only be able to infect one of the cyborgs." Stuart tells her. "So do not waste it."

"One shot is all I need." Prodigy said.

"Ok. Let's go. We're meeting up with Amplifier's team." Parkour tells her. She then grabs Prodigy and runs through the wall.

"Oh for crying out loud you already broke down the door." Stuart shouted.

"Sorry!" Parkour shouted.

Lori pulled Vanzilla into the driveway of the Santiago household. She looked in the backseat and saw Ms. Appear and Black Ice waiting for instructions.

"Ok. Remember the plan. You guys sneak into the house and stay hidden until the Santiagos are safe. That's when you make your appearance." Lori tells them. "Any questions?"

"And if Carolborg asks we traced the call or something." Ms. Appear said

"Bingo." Lori says. "Remember, one wrong move and Bobby and his mother are doomed. We can't let Ronnie Anne down."

"Let's do this." Black Ice said.

Lori exits the minivan and looks to see her younger sisters gone. She sighs nervously and makes her way into the house. As soon as she walks in she sees Bobby knocked out on the floor but Maria was nowhere to be seen.

"Bobby!" Lori cried out and ran to his side.

Bobby began to wake up and sees Lori. "Babe?" He asked

"Are you ok?" Lori asks as she tries to help Bobby sit up.

"My head hurts but I should be fine." Bobby reassured her. He then looks around and panics. "Where's my mom?"

"I don't know." Lori tells him. "Carol must've stashed her somewhere."

"Nice deduction Watson. Your not as dumb as you look." Lori looks up and sees Carolborg standing in the walkway leading to the kitchen.

"I think I know where your mom and Carol are." Lori said and they both walked into the kitchen.

"I'm surprised that your here Loud." Carolborg tells her. "I would've thought that you would've ran away and cried in a corner."

"I'm not a coward Carol." Lori retorts. "Now where is Ms. Santiago?"

"Locked her in the bathroom." Carolborg answers. "She's safe. For now."

"Oh thank goodness." Bobby sighed in relief.

"Now would you like to die?" Carolborg asked. "Either it's neck snapping or weapons but I have millions to choose from."

"Carol, what do you want." Bobby asks.

"Like I told Lori, I want her dead!" Carolborg shouts.

"Why? Why do you want me dead?" Lori asks.

"Why?" Carolborg chuckled. "I wanted Bobby first but I got stuck with Adam!"

"Look Carol, I'm sorry. But Bobby asked me out. I didn't ask him. He asked me." Lori tells her.

"But it's not fair! I loved him first! I've loved him since I first laid eyes on him and you stole him!" Carolborg shouts.

"You heard what Lori said. I asked her out first." said Bobby. "Wait did you injected me with a love potion?!"

"No those are bogus." Carolborg replied.

"They sure are." Lori said and chuckled nervously.

"Then what did you inject me with?" Bobby asked.

"Like I said, I don't know." Carolborg answers. "But that doesn't matter. Your gonna be dead anyway!" Carolborg then forms a blaster and aims at Lori. "Nice knowing you."

"Can I at least say good bye to Bobby?" Lori asked with tears streaming down her face.

Carolborg lowered her blaster and thought about it. "No." Carolborg said. She points and fires but a forcefield pops up in front of them. "What the a force field?" Carolborg asked. "Either that brainiac sister of Lori made a force field or it was Ms. Appear."

"You would be right." Ms. Appear then appears in front of Carolborg and kicks her.

"The L-Crew in my House!" Bobby exclaimed.

"I would ask you two to leave please." Ms. Appear said.

"Screw this!" Carolborg shouts. She's about to fire her blaster when it suddenly freezes.

"I don't think you would blasting holes in that teenager." Black Ice said scaring Carolborg.

"You two are annoying!" Carolborg shouts. She then blasts a hole in the wall and flies out.

"Don't let her get away!" Ms. Appears yells.

Black ice flies out and Ms. Appear follows. "Great now I have to get another job after this." said Bobby.

"But I think we should untie your mom first." Lori said.

When they found Maria tied up in the bathroom they untied her. "Thank you Lori. But is Ronnie Anne safe?" Maria asked,

"Don't worry. She's safe." Lori assures her. "But I should go."

"I think it's a good idea." said Bobby.

"With that Carol wanting to kill you?" Maria asked concerned.

"I'll hide in Lisa's bunker." Lori replied.

"Be careful Lori." Maria tells her.

"I will." Lori says.

Lori ran, but in a normal speed and when she was far away from the Santiago house, she pressed a button on a watch and became Speed Queen. Time to go help the othere." Speed Queen says and runs off.

Meanwhile in the city Greenthumb is using her vines to hold down Adamborg.

"This isn't going to work you dumb infant!" Adamborg shouts. He then breaks free of the vines. As soon as he's free, Parkour rocks him with a right hand.

(A/N: Pretend this is shown off screen.)

"Miss me?" Parkour smirked.

"You again!?" Adamborg shouted.

"And she didn't arrive alone you Neanderthal." Prodigy yells. Adamborg turns and sees Prodigy standing there with five cars floating next to her.

Progidy threw the cars at Adamborg and he destroyed them all with his blaster. "You have to do better than that brainiac!" Adamborg shouted. He then sees a seni flying towards hin. "Crap."

The semi hits Adamborg and impacts on him. "Stupid Cyborg." Parkour smirked.

"Upid! Upid!" Greenthumb giggled. Adamborg pushes the semi off of him and glares at Parkour.

"Great. Now I'm mad." Adamborg says.

"You ain't the only one baby." Adamborg looks up and sees Carolborg. "The L-Crew ruined everything."

"What are you talking about?" Muiltipe girl asked.

"Simple, Carolborg was trying to kill this girl named Lori so she could be with her boyfriend." Ms. Appear says as she flies in and crashes into a semi. Followed by Black Ice.

"Really I don't think her boyfriend would want a walking toaster for a girlfriend." Crystal Princess scoffed.

"You did what!?" Adamborg shouts.

"Hey, i thought that was how to trigger the serum." Carolborg says.

"What serum are you hiding something from me?!" Adamborg shouted.

"I think they're having some problems." Parkour whispers into Wildgirl's ear.

"Yep." Wildgirl agreed.

"No! I was given a job that involved injecting someone with a serum." Carolborg argued. "You would know that if you had stuck around instead of being a big baby and storming off to cause chaos!"

"Ohhh!" The L-Crew say.

"So what? I'm having fun! You're just a stick in the mud! You're just jealous because I'm stronger!" Adamborg argues.

"Are you saying that I'm weak? I broke both of Parkour's arms, and she's suppose to be in the unstoppable one." Carolborg argues.

"I turned Firecracker into a human pretzel!" Adamborg rebuttal.

"Yeah and then he almost kicked your butt in your one-on-one fight with him. You almost lose to an eleven year old!" Carolborg reminds him.

"Big whoop." Adamborg scoffs. "It's your fault we're like this in the first place!"

"How is it my fault?" Carolborg angrily asks.

"If you didn't say This couldn't possibly get worse or park your car somewhere else I would have been a football player for the Detroit Lions!" Adamborg shouted.

"Well I didn't say that I should park somewhere else." Carolborg yells. She then turns to the L-Crew. "Cover the five younger ones's ears please." Multiple Girl, Amplifier, Ms. Appear, Parkour and Firecracker share a glance and shrug. They then get behind Black Ice, Wildgirl, Crystal Princess, Prodigy and Greenthumb and cover their ears.

The younger members of the L-Crew didn't really know what was going on due to their ears being covered. All they knew was that the two cyborgs were shouting at each other. Some of them swore they heard the word duck but something about Carolborg being a rich or something like that. After a few minutes, their older siblings removed their hands.

You guys done!?" Firecracker shouted.

"No!" The cyborgs yelled in unison before they went back to arguing. Firecracker sighs and walks to the nearby supermarket. A few seconds later, he returned with two bags of popcorn and started popping them in his hands.

Speed Queen arrives at the scene and sees the two cyborgs arguing. "Hey Firecracker what's going on?" She asked.

These two have been arguing and now we're just waiting for them to stop." Firecracker explained. "I made popcorn."

"Cool." said Speed Queen.

"Some really nasty words were said bra." Amplifer said.

"Ok. So are we gonna do something?" Speed Queen asks.

"I think we should let them work it out." Muiltipe girl said.

"Look, let's just kill the L-Crew and then we can talk about this." Adamborg says.

"Fine by me!" Carolborg agrees.

Both of the Cyborgs aim their blasters at the L-crew. "Uh oh." said Muiltipe Girl

The cyborgs open fire forcing the L-Crew to dodge.

"Anybody got any ideas?" Parkour asks.

"I only have one virus for one of them." said Prodigy.

"Stay back dude and dudettes!" Ampflier showed as she began to charge up from a power line and shot a stream of purple lightning at Adamborg.

Adamborg blocks the hit, but Amplifier keeps fireing.

"Not gonna work." Carolborg says while aiming her blaster at Amplifier. However Speed Queen tackles her and pushes her away from Adamborg.

"Whatever your trying to do won't work!" Adamborg taunts. "I can handle a little electricity."

"How about some fire?" Firecracker says and fires a powerful fire blast at Adamborg who blocks it but is barely hanging in there.

Adamborg grunted and screamed in pain. "Carol!" Adamborg shouts.

"Adam!" Carolborg shouts. She shakes off Speed Queen and tries to save Adamborg only to get rammed by Wildgirl who morphed into a rhino.

"No one messes with our family!" Firecracker and Amplifer shouted.

"And now you will feel a chilling demise!" Black Ice says appearing next to Amplifier and Firecracker. She then charges and fires a powerful ice blast at Adamborg.

Adamborg is getting hit by fire, lightning and ice. Adamborg screams in pain and then he explodes.

"ADAM!" Carolborg screams. She then flies forward and tackles Amplifier. "YOU KILLED HIM! YOU ARE DEAD!" As punches her, she realizes that her limbs are starting to freeze up. "What's going on?"

"I uploaded a virus into your system." said Prodigy.

"No! I must have my revenge!" Carolborg said. "Mock my words sparky, if I break out I will kill your crush."

"No you won't!" Amplifier tells her. "She then charges up her fist and punches Carolborg in the face, knocking her out.

"Nice one sis." Ms. Appear said.

"Thanks. So I guess we let the cops take it from here?" Amplifier asks.

"Looks like it. You can be queen of the metahuman prison Carol." said Speed Queen.

"So what now?" Multiple Girl asks.

"Let's head home and rest up." Speed Queen answers.

Professor Stuart stood in his office, staring out the window at the city. He then hears the door open behind him.

"I see that our cyborgs failed, Andrew." Stuart said.

"I figured that, but Carol managed to get one part of the mission right." Tetherby said.

"Shame that Adam was destroyed though." Stuart pointed out.

"He was a liability. I was planning on shutting him down anyways." Tetherby tells him. "When will the serum take effect?"

"It cood take time." said Stuart.

"Time?" Tetherby questioned.

"We never tested the serum Andrew so I don't know how long it will take. But trust me. The serum will work." Stuart reassures him. "But I must know, why did you want me to create the virus?"

"Simple, I needed the L-Crew to trust you. And now that they do, they won't suspect that you are working for me." Tetherby answers.

"I see" Stuart said. "So we wait until our lab rat kicks in?"

"Correct. And I guarantee that when the time comes, our lab rat will destroy the L-Crew." Tetherby says.

"Excellent. By the way, a associate of yours visited me earlier." Stuart tells him.

"An associate?" Tetherby asks.

"Yes, he came by asking me to create a antivirus to destroy the virus that was injected into Carol." Stuart explains.

"I see." Tetherby says. "Well then. I'll be off." Tetherby and Stuart shake hands and Tetherby leaves the office. As soon as he exits the University, he looks off to the distance. "What are you up to?" He then walks to the limo that was waiting for him.

Carolborg regains conscious and noticed that she's in a police truck. "Where am I?" Carolborg asked.

"A truck heading to a meta-human prison." said the driver.

"I still can't move." Carolborg says. "And Adam is gone. Destroyed by the L-Crew."

"Yo, shut her up!" The driver said. The guard in the back prepares his gun when suddenly the truck comes to a stop.

"Why did we stop?" The guard asked.

"No idea." The driver answered. The driver looks outside the car and sees water. "Did it rain at all today?"

"No it's just a clear night." said the Driver.

"But there is a forecast of pain." said a voice

Suddenly the water flows up, throwing the truck into the air.

The officers and Carolborg scream as the truck was flown in the air.

The truck then lands on the ground. The officers are severely injured while Carolborg is unharmed. She then hears the door to transport open.

"That wasn't so bad now was it?" A voice asked.

"What the hell? You could've killed me!" Carolborg shouts. "Who are you anyway?"

"Let's just say I'm a friend." The voice said. "Do me a favor and open your USB port."

"I don't think I can do that because I can't move!" Carolborg shouted.

"You don't need to move. Just focus and use whatever you use to access your weapons." The mystery person told her. "Do it and make it quick."

"Fine!" Carolborg says.

Carolborg did so and the USB port is revealed to be on her chest. "Ok now what?"

The mystery placed the flash drive in the USB port and with in a few seconds Carolborg began to move again.

"Wow. Thanks. Who are you?" Carolborg asks.

"The name is Hydro." Hydro answered. "That was quite the show you put on. Dismantling the L-Crew at the mall and outsmarting Firecracker. I must say, I was impressed."

"Why thank you. But I have to ask why are you rescuing me?" Carolborg asked.

"I want you to be part of my side and destroy the L-crew." Hydro said.

"You have my attention." Carolborg tells him.

"You and I are quite similar." Hydro tells her. "Because of the L-Crew, you were critically injured and could've died. As for me, the L-Crew did this to me." Hydro takes off his mask and shows his face to Carolborg who gasps.

"Oh my God! Your face!" Carolborg shouted and gagged.

"The L-Crew humiliated me. Almost as bad as they did you." Hydro says as he puts back on his mask. "But together, along with another friend of mine, I think we can get our revenge. So what do you say? You in?"

"I'm in."Carolborg smirked.

"Good." said Hydro. "Now let's go."

The two exit the transport. After they exit, Carolborg turns around and fires her blaster at the transport.

"L-Crew better watch their backs." Carolborg says with a smirk as she watches the flames.

Meanwhile at the Santiago house, Bobby walked in the bathroom and brushed his teeth.

After he finished he looked at himself in the mirror and rubbed the bruise on his head. "Man. Today was insane." Bobby said to himself.

Bobby opened the mirror cabinet and looks for the bandages but when he does, Bobby closes the cabinet and sees his reflection glaring at him.

Bobby rubs his eyes and sees his reflection is back to normal. "That was weird." Bobby said to himself. He then turns around to head to bed when he sees a giant shadow standing in front of him.

Bobby backs away in fear and tries to escape but the door won't open. "Come on! Come on!" Bobby shook in fear and then the giant shadow grabs him,

Bobby screams in terror and suddenly sits up in his bed, dripping sweat.

"It was all a dream." Bobby said. "But what was that?"
