Can't Get That Song Outta My Head - Part 6

[ButchyBoy]

When we last left Cricket, she had gotten a messgae to come to Electra Storm's private room deep within the New Chicago Arena. But when our fembot hero got there, she found it was a trap -- a trap that led her strapped to an android disassembly belt by a figure lurking in the shadows --- and now.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cricket struggled trying to find someway off that belt before those wildy swinging arms began slicing and dicing the little robot. She looked everywhere she could. The mysterious figure in the shadows seemed to be gone. At least he...or she....seemed to be following the villians handbook, leaving the scene of a death trap, and assuming it all went to plan. Or perhaps that person had to get back to the arena before they were missed, Cricket thought. Just then, she spied something that just might get her out of this trap and back to Harry. The robot girl took a deep breath, and rememberd something Betty Stevens told her the day before. "When in doubt, pinky out", Cricket said to herself. Then , she extented her right pinky finger, hoping the microwave transmitter inside was strong enought to activate the laser beam that was suspended in the air about 50 feet away from her. Cricket beamed as the laser came to life and swung around on its own power. But she wasn't out of the woods yet. She had less than 10 seconds to line it up just right, before her head was to be pulled away from the rest of her. And one miscalculation would result in fried Cricket. The android hoped for the best as the laser beam powered up, fired, and hit the left restraining bolt ner her chest. The bolt overheated, popping the restraint open. And just in time too! Her hands now free, Cricket grabbed the mechanical arm that was about to detatch her head! She yanked the arm hard fron its base, sat right up and used that arm like a javelin, throwing it into the conveyor belt's control panel, taking it out in a hail of sparks! Everything stopped cold. Cricket drew a big sigh of relief, them manuvered the laser once more to free her legs.

Now came the question of, "Where was she?". Cricket found the lab door, cracked it opened, and peeked out. She recognized the hallway instantly, sutting the door quickly, and gasping, "This IS the GlobalCon bulding!" Cricket peeked out againg, figuring she was just going to have to fight her way out of there. Just then, as luck would have it, a bulky service droid on wheels came by. It was marked "ARENA", in big black letters. Cricket put her pinky out again, and the droid stopped right in front of the door. Hoping not to be seen, she quietly opend the droid's hatch, and tossed out a few boxes to make room for her. Once inside, she got the droid moving again, and was on her way back to Harry......she hoped.
