The Thing

Chapter 2

"Surrender or die," said the alien. "Surrender or die."

City Hall moved her cursor toward the Log Out button.

"Don't move the cursor," said the alien, "and you have five minutes to say 'I surrender' or I blast you. Tick tock."

It looked hopeless. City Hall was about to surrender when suddenly, a plan of action popped into her mind.

"I surrender," she said.

"Good," said the alien. "Get into the ship." As she suspected, he relaxed his hold on the trigger of his gun.

ZOOM! She crashed into him! BOP! She smashed into his jaw! BAM! Right in the stomach!

Great! She had left him temporalily stunned. But how to get the gun? She needed it.

Then 7 squeezed out of the spaceship and threw something at her. She caught it. It was Brainbub's alien zapper. What use was this?

"Press F1 to fire," he said,"It can fire without a gAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The alien had recovered and fired at 7!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" 7 screamed. City Hall fired, but it was too late. 7 was gone.

"Don't worry about your precious 7," sneered the alien. "He's just been taken again, but you won't be so lucky!"

"Oh yeah?" challenged City Hall. And she fired and fired until the alien disintigrated.

Suddenly, BOOM! The Sun Spot was hit by the ship's laser! Dust and debris were raining everywhere! City Hall barely made it to Myville. There, she strolled while thinking about a plan.

Then something zoomed over her. It was the alien's spaceship! Than she remembered! A party at bluishy's! She had offered to make a speech! In all the exitement she had forgotten!

Wait a second! The spaceship was headed toward Karra's! It might be going to collect more victums! She had to stop it!

City Hall raced after it. But it was too fast. The gap was steadily widening. Then...

They were there! She saw it blast a hole in the roof!

"Surrender!" the words came out of the ship.

"Never," voiced many people.

"Well then!" said the spaceship as it leveled its blasters on the crowd. "Your only other choice is die."

To be continued...
