K-5 (Full)

Lizard Terminator

In the Crete Fortress, Talia was bouncing on her seat as the amazing smell of the ramen drifting through into her nose inside the kitchen.

"Hurry up, Kirana!" Talia whined impatiently. "I'm starving here!"

"Chill down, Talia." Kirana said.

Kirana scooped some noodles into two bowls and walked over to the dining table, where Talia was waiting excitedly and Camilla were already eating while staring down at her comic book. Ezra was listening to music on his K-Phone while eating.

"Happy now?" Kirana smiled.

"Uh yeah!" Talia replied. "I love ramen soup besides pizza!"

As four mages began slurping their noodles, a green lizard with silver camera attached to its body was crawling onto the table from the counter. Kirana looked down to stare at the small lizard confusedly. Talia cocked her head to look down at the lizard with ramen hanging out of her mouth. Both girls watched as the lizard moved over to Camilla. As Camilla was about to put some ramen noodle in her mouth, she stopped to stare at the lizard casually sitting on her fork.

"What the heck?" Camilla screamed as she jumped back to fling the lizard back to the counter. "It's lizard!"

Ezra immediately got startled and removed his earbuds to watch Camilla in fright of a lizard.

Camilla stared at the lizard with wide eyes and slowly engulfed her fists into blazing flames. Kirana, Talia, and Ezra pulled their ramen noodles off the table, moving away from the table as they knew exactly what Camilla was going to do. Camilla began firing small-sized fireballs wildly at the lizard, who started to scurry off the table as Camilla kept missing to strike the creature.

Ariana suddenly rushed in with a tablet in her hand. She puts her device on the table and held her hand to the floor for the lizard to crawl into her palms.

"Stop, Camilla! You can't burn it!" Ariana shouted.

"And why not?" Camilla snapped as she ran up to Ariana.

"Because this lizard is important for our mission, okay?" Ariana replied, covering the lizard protectively and opened her hand to pat it.

"And why is he important to our mission, Ariana?" Ezra sighed.

"Because I outfitted him with a remote controlled camera helmet!" Ariana replied with a proud smile. "That way we can send him to spy on the Kraang into TCRI. The camera itself allows us to see whatever the lizard sees."

Kirana, Camilla, Talia, and Ezra gathered Ariana's tablet as Ariana played back a recording of Camilla screaming at the sight of the lizard. Camilla was glaring at the screen, Kirana and Ariana were laughing silently, Ezra silently chuckled, and Talia laughed openly.

"This is too good! Who knew big, tough Camilla is scared of lizards." Talia exclaimed.

"I am not!" Camilla protested.

"Is that so?" Talia said, rewinding the recording the video and paused the video that showed Camilla's screaming face. "Because this proves it all."

"Wanna see what I can also prove?" Camilla asked.

Camilla seized Talia by the arms and threw her over the counter.

"We're gonna spy on the Kraang...with a lizard!" Ariana declared, holding the lizard in the air proudly.

A hour later, the K-5 gathered together in the Sonicruiser that was parked nearby TCRI building. They assembled around Ariana's station as they watched the lizard's progress on the screen. The lizard used a mini saw attached to its tail and crawled inside a room, where a bunch of blue Kraang droids were having a conservation about their robotic bodies. The lizard moved on until it crawled onto a beam and looked down at two other Kraang droids, allowing the screen to feature a laser drill for the mages to see back at the Sonicruiser.
