chapter 25
gondor.
1730 hours, 15,01,2005. steves palace, guys living area.
many months had passed, the computers technology had advanced to amazing levels, nearly 90% of the earth was under pc control. but the band of brothers fought on as best they could. "well come on luke, i think its our turn to run the gauntlet" said fatbob one day playing poker with luke. "yes i guess it is" replied luke getting up. "its funny isn't it guys" said onion knitting fatbob a new jumper. "whats funny onion?" asked bidge brewing marrow tea (the only tea they now had) "well this place almost feels like home, we've been here what? sinse the 19th of june thats nealry 7 months ago" "yes i guess your right except for our transister radio, we've been cut off from above all that time" said bidge. "i do miss the natural light" said luke sadly staring at the fish lanterns
"well i'm glad we found some surviving fish people anyway" said jess reading in the corner. "yes at least they know this place and all its secret passage's" said fatbob pulling on his jumper. "it fits like a glove bob" said onion proudly.
2100 hours, 15,01,2005. main hallway.
"phew that was close" said fatbob bundling through the gates with his arms full of marrows. "what happened bob?" asked louise concerned. "well we all made it back, but poor old carlos has been badly wounded" said fatbob, as luke came through the doorway holding carlos up. "get reena will you someone" he said putting carlos down on a chair. "oh no not my carlos!" said emily running towards them. "he'll be ok em, i'm sure" said joe comfortingly. so when carlos had been set down on a makeshift trolley, and reena had begun her surgery. it was time for everyone to play monopoly and have a few marrow beers. "its good just to try and relax isn't it" said jeni counting her money."yes it is, we may only have marrows but aslong as we have marrow flan and marrow beer we're ok" said ellie. "well i hope julia p finds somewhere habitable for us soon" said suz. "we can't stay here forever, eventually we'll run out of food and then what" she added. "yes well i'm sure it'll work out" said joe playing with debbies pigtails. "hopefully we will finish the spacecraft tomorrow"
1546 hours, 16,01,2005 spacecraft launch site.
"well people this is it" said joe screwing in the last screw. "i think we're ready to test her out" "its a shame we can't actually fly her, but its too dangerous to risk flying her where the computers could fire at her" said robyn thinking hard. "yes well we can test her engines and turbines and all the important machinery at least" said alion fiddling with the onboard computer system. "right ok people lets fire her up" said joe stepping back and pulling out his control panel. so when everyone had taken their positions, it was time to start her main engines. "ok people on my count" said joe, waving to luke and debs who were on board. "5 4 3 2 1 we are all systems go!!" he shouted as the engine turbines kicked in and the rocket fuel started burning. so after several tests, including seeing if everyone could fit inside alright. they were all finally satisfied it was ready. and not a moment too soon it seamed, as tom reported large numbers of computers heading through the marrown fields! "we will have to send out pickets to keep an eye on them" said joe when tom told him the news. "yeah we'll have to try and slow them up as much as possible" said tom i'll get my war mokisons out of the cupboard" "good man tom" said energy. "i'll help organise our offensive" she added. "good show energy, i'll go break the news to everyone else" said joe walking off. so as joe and the guys were discussing their coming actions, julia p came running in! "guys guys! i think i've found a planet we can go to!" "what! thats brilliant julia" said susie trying to control her excitement. "so where abouts is this planet julia?" asked joe. "well its quite near actually i don't know how i missed it really, just because there was so many to look at i guess. "its called gondor, and from what i can gather its an oxygon based enviroment perfect for us humans" "well we must get ready to leave as soon as we're ready then" said joe. just then sophie came running in.
"we better get out of here pretty quick guys, the computers are nearly apon us!"
1735 hours, 16,01,2005. living area.
"don't worry sophie, julia p's found a planet she reckons we can escape to" said debbie. "well i'm pretty sure we can" said julai p.
"well i hope so, because i don't think we've much more than a day!" said sophie breathing hard. just then energy came bounding down the corridor. "they got bex, they shot her right through the heart!" she said, obviously in a lot of shock. "right well this is it people" said joe taking command. "everyone start loading all our equipment, food, and essentials into the spacecraft. we leave tomorrow!"
1400 hours, 17,01,2005. spacecraft launch site.
everyone was rushing around trying to get ready. fatbob and some of the guys were fending off the computers from the main gate. with all the remaining fish people. dave, steves son and air to the throne had been crowned king of all fish of earth and was rallying the last few dozon fish people, including quindo the dash and dot goatfish, to defend their home to the last. even robyns eyebrows were getting stuck in again. the only big problem was carlos, who was getting worse by the hour. "its no good i'm afraid emily" said reena administering more morphine. "i'm afraid he's not well enough to survive the flight, and i don't think he'll live till we're ready to go" she said sadly. emily sat by carlos's bed holding little baby pimlico, who had been born a few weeks earlier. "oh carlos, i promise i'll look after little pimlico for you" she said tears running down her face. "goodbye my love, take care!"
1732 hours, 17,01,2005. lauch site.
"well the computers have finally broken through joe" said dave the king carp. "i'm afraid we only have a few minutes" "thats all we need i hope" replied joe tearing around making last minute adjustments to the navigation system with julia p and debs. "right i think
we're set" said debs looking at her watch. "ok people, everyone whos finished what their doing onboard!!" shouted joe, "pasty you done?" called arthur as he ran to the craft his arms full of eggnog. "i thought you hated that stuff?" asked pasty saying goodbye to his oboe. "well its better than damn marrows all the time" replied arthur jumping onboard. so all the fishpeople piled into the craft.
"where's fatbob, tom and luke?" shouted jules. "i think their still battling the computers in the palace!" answered becca.
"right joe, we're ready when you are" called alion from the controls inside. "ok i'l get fatbob and the rest" he said running towards the doors. but as he arrived at them, luke came tumbling in, i hope your ready to go, because we are!" he screamed running to the spacecraft. "so everyone including fatbob and tom were finally onboard. the hangers overhead were opened and it was showtime.
"well everyone i'd just like to say, good luck and God bless" said joe above the din of the engines. so as the evil computers came pouring through into the launch room, the thrusters came onto full power!! "well here go's" said everyone at once.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the supports fell away and as laser blast flew in every direction, the remaining friends and fishpeople went souring into the sky. as the youngsters peered through windows, they saw the true destruction apon the earth. in every direction there was darkness except the flashing searchlights and lasers of the computers
"well people we did it, i don't know how but we did" said joe looking out into space. "yes i think whatever there is on gondor" said anna. "yup" said everyone together, "they'll surely need nozzles!!"
THE END.
