A/n: Prepare to experience the winner-take-all, all-or-nothing battle between Katie Mitchell and James Dawson vs the PAL Max robots of the apocalypse!!!

JAMES'S POV:

James: Ok, ready for this, Kate?

Katie: I was born ready, JD.

We had just finished strapping Monchie onto a car seat, which we taped to the hood of the station wagon. Monchie didn't seem to mind. I took out a walkie talkie.

James: You in position, Aaron?

Aaron: *On Radio* Yup. Got my pterodactyl eyes on the streets.

James: Good. Katie? Car ready?

Katie: Yeah!

James: Alright! Operation: J&K Global Rescue is a go!!

Katie: Nice name.

James: I know, right!?

We both got in the car with Katie driving.

James: You sure you wanna drive?

Katie: I mean, one if us has to drive. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

Next thing we knew we were speeding towards the Rhombus of Infinite Subjugation, with an army of PAL Max robots ahead of us.

Katie: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!!!!

James: YOU SAID YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING!!!

Katie: I lied!!!

Katie calmed down a bit and put her game face on.

Katie: Alright PAL, I've broken six phones in my life, accidentally.....but I'm gonna break you on PURPOSE!!!

James: HECK YEAH!!! LET'S GO!!!!

A robot stood in front of our path.

Robot: Dog? Pig? Dog? Pig? Dog? Pig? Loaf of bread? SYSTEM ERROR!!! *Sputters uncontrollably*

We ran over the robot.

James: OOOOOOHHHH That's gotta hurt in the morning!!

Katie and I were laughing, happy about the fact that our strategy was working.

Katie: Uh oh.

James: What?

Katie: Look!!

She pointed ahead and I saw the robots making a big wall/ramp made of cars. C'mon, think James, think! AH-HA!! I GOT IT!!! I turn to Katie with a grin.

James: Ok, we got ourselves a ramp. Know what that means?

Katie: The Rick Mitchell Special?

James: The Rick Mitchell Special!

Katie: Alright! Let's do this!

Katie put her hand on the handbrake. I did as well.

James: Let's do this, together.

Katie smirked as we looked ahead.

Katie: First, we go....

James/Katie: ....Up the mountain....

We switched gears once.

James/Katie: ....Across the stream....

Again.

James: ...and down...

Katie: ....the....

James/Katie: ....RIVER!!!!

The car drove onto the ramp of cars and soared over them as the camera freezes and fast banjo music plays and the words Rick Mitchell Special appear on the bottom of the screen. After a few seconds the camera unfreezes and the words are gone. Aaron spoke over my walkie talkie.

Aaron: *Radio* Raptor One! Turn right!!

James: Got it, Raptor Two! Katie! Right!!

Katie: Got it!

She made a sharp right turn.

Aaron: *Radio* Left!!

James: Left!!!

Katie: Going left!

She made a sharp left turn.

James: Thank you, Raptor One!

Aaron: *Radio* You're welcome! *Snarls*

Katie: *Snarls*

James: I hope no one minds if another raptor joins you two. *Snarls*

Katie: Don't mind if you do.

We both yelled out in victory as we were plowing through the robot army. We then arrived at the big building which was apparently the rocket, by the way.

Katie: Sorry, Mom and Dad! Your insurance premiums are about to go up!!

James: Wait, what're you gonna do!?

Aaron: You're gonna go up the rocket!?

James: Wait, WHAT!?

Aaron: Are you sure about this?

Katie: Trust me. I'm completely confident about this.

She's definitely lying. I can see it in her eyes.

Katie: Here goes NOTHING!!!

The car goes flying as the bottom hits the magnetic elevator thingie.

James: C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon!!!

Robotic voice: Magnetic link activated.

Katie/James: YES!!/HECK YEAH!!!

Katie: Hold on to your butt Monch!!

Monchie: *whimpers*

James: How's it lookin' Aaron?.......Aaron?

All I heard was Aaron saying no a lot. The robots must've taken him!

Katie: No!!

MEANWHILE WITH LINDA, 3RD PERSON POV:

(This is too good to write in words. I must use the video.)

BACK WITH JAMES, JAMES'S POV:

James: Keep driving, Kate! We're almost-AHHH!!!

A robot blasted Monchie's seat, sending Monchie flying into my lap, invisible to the robots.

Robot: Dog? Pig? Dog? Pig? Do- SYSTEM RECOVERED.

James/Katie: Oh no.

Robots began to continually assault the car, veering it slowly off of the magnetic link.

Katie: NonononoNONONO!!!

The car lost connection to the magnetic lift.

James/Katie: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

A robot then grabbed Katie with their tractor beam arm.

James: KATIE!!!

Katie: JAMES!!!

I lost sight of Katie as I hugged Monchie.

James: Heh. We had a good run, didn't we, Monch?

Monchie: *bark*!

As we fell, I hugged Monchie and closed my eyes. Suddenly.....

....a robot caught the car with a tractor beam.

We both fell out of the car as the robot below the car spotted us.

Robot: Is that a- Dog? Pig? Dog? Pig? Dog? Pig? Loaf of bread? SYSTEM ERROR!!!! AHHHHHH-

The robot was squished by the car it had released.

James: HA!!! Take THAT ro-butt!!!! *Gasp* Wait! KATIE!!!

I looked up, searching for any sign of Katie's location.

MEANWHILE WITH KATIE, KATIE'S POV:

I was being carried by a robot, being taken to their leader, PAL.

PAL: Well, well, if it isn't quirky young teenage hero Katie Mitchell.

Katie: Put me down. I've got to save my family!

PAL: *Mocking* "I've got to save my family." Everyone says that, but no one has been able to give me a single reason humans are worth saving.

Katie: Well, you...

PAL: Don't say something stupid like, "Ooh, the power of love." I've learned we're all better off alone, no one to hold us back. Relationships are just too difficult.

Katie: You're right, Pal. They're... *sighs* They're not easy. Sometimes you have to listen to long monologues about triceratops migration, but it's worth it to get a friend for life.

The image of Aaron flashed in my mind.

Katie: Sometimes we gotta deal with nothing but complete shenanigans, but it's worth it to see your

The image of James flashed in my mind.

Katie: And... and sometimes you have to eat disgusting cupcakes shaped like your own face, but it's worth it to see your mom smile.

The image of Mom flashed in my mind.

Katie: Sometimes you have to give your dad the benefit of the doubt, even if all he wants to do is talk about pine cones and screwdrivers. Because even if he doesn't always get it right, he's always trying, harder than you ever knew.

The image of Dad flashed in my mind.

Katie: My whole family tried to come together, and it worked. It actually worked. Families can be hard, but they're so worth fighting for. They might be one of the only things that are, besides friends.

When I stopped my speech, I noticed PAL sleeping?

PAL: Huh? Ugh. Nodded off for a bit there. Sorry, that was SOOO BORING! Oh, you all talk about families, but trust me, you will drop each other the first chance you get, just. Like. THIS!!

The robot was about to drop me until-

PAL: WAIT!! I got n idea. Before I drop you, you can watch as my PAL Max Primes deal with your friend down there.

Wait, JAMES!!!

I looked down to see those dark robots surrounding James.

Katie: No! JAMES!!!

BACK TO JAMES, JAMES'S POV:

I was surrounded by those intimidating robots.

James: Hehehe. C'mon guys, we can talk about this right? HA!!

I held up Monchie, hoping they're affected by the whole Dog/Pig/Bread thing.

PAL Max Prime: We know the difference between Dog and Pig and Bread.

My grin dropped immediately.

James: Oh no. AHH!!!

I was now narrowly dodging the bots' attacks, amidst the attacks, I had dropped something. Something vital. Something important.....to me anyway.

My sketchbook.

Upon realizing this, I was sidetracked and grabbed by a robot. Another robot grabbed the sketchbook by the rings, the sketchbook coincidentally falling to a page with one of my personal drawings.

James: Oh no....

PAL: *Over speaker* Aww, how sweet.

The screens around me showed the drawing.

It was a page full of of Katie Mitchell.

James: This so embarrassing!!

PAL: Too bad you'll never survive to see this or your friends again! Robots.......shred it.

James: Wait, no....NO!!

The robot holding the book threw it up and cut it to bits. I stood there, not knowing how to react.

James: I......M-My.....

PAL: Oh, look! I broke him! Haha!!

I looked down at the shreds of paper on the ground as two robots grabbed me. My sketchbook, the second best thing in my life, was just torn to shreds, my friends and family are about to be lunched off into space, Katie is in the mercy of PAL, and on top of all that, I was literally humiliated in front of everyone. Literally everyone.

James: That's. It.

I grabbed the two by the back of their heads.....

James: HYAAAA!!!!

.....and smashed their heads together.

Robot: Do not resist us-

James: RRRAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I ram my hand through the robot's eye and tear it out, causing it to collapse.

Robot: Uhhh.....

James: FIRST, you take MY family and try to launch them into SPACE, SECOND, you put MY friend and her family in utter peril, THIRD, you have the UTTER NERVE to PUBLICLY HUMILIATE ME IN FRONT OF AN ENTIRE COUNTRY, and last, but certainly not least, you decide to try and endanger my BEST FRIEND IN FRONT OF ME!?!? I only have one, ONE THING to say to you ALL!!!

I grab a red bandana from the ground.

James: That....

I tie the bandana around my forehead.

James: ....is the LAST mistake you'll ever make!!

A/n: Ohhhhh snap. One thing they should never have done. Destroy his sketchbook, AND endanger Katie. And what did they do? They did EXACTLY THAT. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this lovely 1671 word chapter, and I bid you good day, fellow crazies.
