Dark Force Destructor-chapter 8
By Dac
Chapter 8
Captured by the DD Gang (oh, the humiliation!) Icebreaker and friends have been taken to a hidden room below a warehouse on the Animorphs page, led there by the DD Gang's leader, and his two main bodyguards, one of whom is TyrannoRex112. Elsewhere, in the Madblast Tower, Captain Dac and Major Sharkey pay a visit to the main man himself, the Dark Force Destructor, who is conspiring for the next plans. What will they be?

Hidden base under Animorphs page warehouse
6.59.59 p.m.
The man in charge walked into the huge room, with side-glances from many of the people there. He opened a door by pressing a button on a panel, and swaggered inside, followed by Icebreaker, Vader, Seth and Evilgrinch, and behind them, the two men with semiautomatics. Inside, there was a large desk, a comfy chair behind that, a shelf cut into the back wall and a handful of hard, plastic chairs in front of the desk. Two more comfy chairs sat beside the door, which slid shut behind them. The two gun-toting thugs sat in these chairs, the leader sat behind the desk, and the four friends indignantly sat in the foul plastic chairs.
"So," sneered the leader. "In need of a little help, Marjinners? Ready to call your friends yet?"
Icebreaker defiantly spoke up.
“The others are not Marjinners!" he snapped. "I am. I was sent to scout the outlying websites as a baby, and was stuck in a compactor, losing my 'programming'. Since then, the Marjinner named Torbie grew up to be the Icebreaker you see before you now."
One of the men at the door grinned.
"Oh, bravo indeed, that was quite the impressive speech. But I'm afraid our pets didn't think much of it."
At these words, the walls slid up, revealing hundreds of cages holding a wide variety of animals with obvious modifications. In one, a raccoon sat, holding a taser. Next to it, there was a diamond viper. Above that, there was a golden eagle with a pack of grenades on its back. To the right of the eagle sat a Velociraptor with a laser beam attached to its head. It was eyeing a cage full of mice that, every so often, bit through a bar of a cage full of green onions. All of these and more glanced at Ice warily. He stared in disgust at some snails oozing poisonous mucus before turning to the leader.
"Well, you know who we..."
"No, I know only Icebreaker right now. Who are these others?"
"Evilgrinch, Seth Rex and Vader."
TyrannoRex112 stared and went a bit pale.
"Vader? Oh, damn, uh..."
He at once got a bit shaky. Vader looked at him.
"I only killed the guy back then because he tried to burn my eyes out."
Everyone looked at him.
"What?"
"I'll explain later. Anyway...who are you guys?"
The man at the desk straightened up.
"My name is Dino_Dude. As you can see, I have founded a small army with which I plan to stop the Marjinners. These are my most trusted men and bodyguards, TyrannoRex112 and AlanGrant5. We use number or initial designation here, so I am DD, TyrannoRex112 is TR112 and AlanGrant5 is AG5. I have a long list of men, to which I will add your names if you tell me what the hell you were doing in my warehouse."
Grinch cleared his throat.
"We are escapees of the DFD's forces. We escaped his men and planned to stop him, but realized we were too small a group. So we came to this site to ally with you, but you tried to kill us, and then ran off after Esplinter showed up."
"Esplinter? What happened to him?"
Vader looked worriedly at Ice.
"I'll tell you later. Anyway, we had heard someone say something about the warehouse, so we came to check it out."
Dino_Dude nodded.
"So you want to get them too?"
"Yeah!"
Dino_Dude looked up. In his eyes they saw a fire similar to the one that had burned in Ice's eyes just before Esplinter's death.
"OK, we'll join you."

The panel glowed blood red as Sharkey punched in the code.
"CODE ACCEPTED."
The major and the captain walked in. A tall dark chair loomed in front of them. A cold, rasping voice rose from it.
"Ah, captain, major, do come in, do come in. I was just wondering when you would come."
Both men went pale.
"Y-yes, my l-lord, th-thank you," they quavered.
"Yes, I was wondering...you said earlier, Sharkey, that Esplinter met his demise at the hands of Torbie?"
"Y-yes, that's right-t," stammered the major.
"Well, can any sample of our good corporal be recovered?"
"Meaning no d-disrespect, sir," spoke up Dac. "But we need a complete brain cell to make the zombie copy of Esplinter, and I think I heard him saying that he refused to become a zombie."
"You mean to honor his wishes, Dac, though he is...was...a corporal, while you are a captain? How very interesting..."
"My lord, I mean no dishonor to this rank you gave me! It just would not be...prudent...to not grant at least one of his wishes..."
"Shut up, fool, and be glad I don't demote you!"
Dac closed his mouth immediately.
"However, you do make a good point...anyway...how was the raid on GeoCities?"
Sharkey stepped forward.
"It was not exactly as we expected, lord," he reported. "Mostly the operation went fine, but our good Sergeant Tapcar...Raptormark..."
"Raptormark beat Tapcar?"
"Yes, sir."
"Be as that may, death happens...all right, we need more...information...interrogate that prisoner, Cyros. I'm sure he knows something."
"Yes, sir."
And both men ran from the room.
