Sam & Cat & the Haunted Thundermans: The Dark Twister

Chapter Twenty-One: Who Are You!?!?

Phoebe Thunderman POV

I slowly fluttered my eyes open, as my surroundings became visible to me. I began to look around. I was in a huge lair with about fifty computers, twenty rockets, several weapons that I didn't know the names of, several gadgets that I didn't know the names of, stacks of dark-green bins, large, black drawers, and a silver panel filled with several buttons. I had passed out earlier from all of the dizziness from the kidnapper swinging me around in that burlap sack. How come my thundersense didn't go off right before I got kidnapped!?!? My thundersnese always go off right before something bad happens! I then looked down to see that I was strapped to a large, silver platform. I struggled to escape from the heavy, metal straps that were holding me down. There were four of them. One was holding me down by my chest, one was holding me down by my hands, one was holding me down by me down by my legs, and one was holding me down by my feet. It was no use; I couldn't escape. I turned my head to the left to see that Carly and Nevel were also strapped to silver platforms, like how I was. Like me, they were also struggling to break free. I then turned my head to the left to see that Max was strapped to a silver platform, like the rest of us. He was also trying to break free.

"WHO THE HECK DID THIS TO US!?!?" I shouted.

"I DON'T KNOW, BUT WHOEVER DID IS GONNA RUE THIS DAY!!!" Nevel shouted, "THEY'RE GONNA RUE IT!!!"

I scrunched up my nose and squinted at Nevel. "Rue!?!?"

"It's just a word that he says a lot," Carly told me.

"Yeah, it's kind of like my own personal catch phrase!" Nevel told me.

"What does it mean?" Max asked.

Nevel rolled his eyes at Max and sighed. "It means that you'll regret something that you did. Just like the people who kidnapped us are going to regret that the ever did this to us. That's why I said that they will rue this day."

"Oh."

"We need to get out of here!" I told everybody.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we're all on the same page here!" Carly told me.

"Ok. So, what's the plan?" Max asked us.

"You already know the plan, Max!" I exclaimed.

Max scrunched up his nose and squinted at me. "Wait, I do?"

I then raised one eyebrow.

Now realizing what I had meant, Max mouthed the word, "Oh."

"What's your plan, Phoebe?" Carly asked me.

"Yeah, and why do only you and Max know it?" Nevel asked, "I demand to to know this plan of yours."

Max and I both nervously looked at each other.

"Well, come on," Nevel said, getting a bit impatient that we weren't telling him our plan, "Spit it out."

"What you are about to see, you can tell nobody about it!" Max told Carly and Nevel, "Our whole entire family will be in a whole entire trouble!"

"Whatever your secret is, it's safe with me!" Carly told Max and I.

"Ok, good," I sighed, "How about you, Nevel?"

Nevel thought for a moment. "I won't tell anybody your little secret, but on one condition!"

"Uggh, what do you want?"

"Max, I want one of those rockets that you were talking about earlier!"

"Deal!" Max and I agreed.

"Ok, ready, Max?" I asked.

Max nodded in agreement.

"This is going to be good!" Nevel exclaimed as he greedily rubbed his hands together, "Nobody's ever shown me one of their secrets before; I usually have to find them out myself!"

Max and I then tried to use our heat breath to melt the metal straps. Nothing, but carbon dioxide came out of my mouth. I then looked over at Max. He was having the same issue; his heat breath wasn't working either. Max and I then began to repeatedly blow on the metal straps. Carly and Nevel stared at us like we were a bunch of weirdos.

"Uhh, what are you guys doing?" Carly asked us.

"Yeah, what's so secretive about you guys blowing on the metal straps?" Nevel asked us, "It's more weird than secretive, if you ask me!"

"Umm, we sort of thought that this would free us," I said, trying not to give away the fact that Max and I have super powers.

Carly squinted at me. "How is blowing on the metal straps going to free us?"

"Well, you see-" Max began before he got cut off.

"They have super powers," a deep, evil male voice finished.

We all turned our heads forward to see to dark figures standing over us. They both looked as if they were about seven feet tall.

"Wh-who a-are y-you?" Carly stammered.

"Yeah, and why did you strap us to these platforms?" Nevel added.

Both of the figures laughed.

"Who are we?" The deep voice repeated, "We are the ones who brought you here!"

The two figures then stepped closer to us and into the light. To the left of me, was a tall man dark-brown hair with piercing-red eyes. He was wearing one of those dark-black capes that covered the back of your head. The cape draped over his whole entire back and shoulders. Underneath the cape, he wore a dark-blue suit. On the center of his chest, was a dark-purple triangle. In the center of the triangle, was a black tornado. He was also wearing a dark-black mask. To the right of me, was a tall woman with dark-brown hair and piercing green eyes. She was wearing the same type of cape that the man was wearing. But instead of dark-blue, her suit was dark-purple. On the center of her chest, was a dark-blue triangle. In the center of the triangle, was a black hurricane. Like the man, she was also wearing a dark-black mask.

"I am The Dark Twister!" The man introduced himself.

"And I am his wife, The Dark Hurricane!" The woman introduced herself.

"Y-you b-brought u-us h-here?" Carly stammered.

"That's right, Carly Shay," The Dark Hurricane replied as she smirked, "He was the one who sent the tornadoes, but it was my idea to bring you and Nevel Papperman here. It was Dark Twister's idea to bring Phoebe and Max Thunderman."

Carly, Nevel, Max, and I gasped.

"How do you know our names!?!?" Nevel asked, "I demand to know!"

The Dark Twister laughed. "That will be a question that shall never be revealed, my friend!"

"Hey, I am not your friend! Now, let me go!"

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane both laughed an evil laugh.

"I am sorry, Nevel. I'm afraid that we can never let you and your friends you," The Dark Twister stated, "You four are just too valuable to loose."

"What do you mean that we're too valuable to loose?" I asked, "Is that why you brought us here, because we're valuable?"

"Valuable in our eyes, that is," The Dark Hurricane told us.

"What makes us so valuable to you guys?" Max asked, "We're just a bunch of regular teenagers!"

"Believe me, Max Thunderman, you four are not regular teenagers," The Dark Twister stated.

"Is it because you said that Phoebe and Max have super powers?" Nevel asked.

"Yes."

Carly and Nevel gasped.

"But, super powers aren't real!"

"No, you thought that super powers aren't real," The Dark Hurricane told Nevel, "You see, I have the power to create hurricanes and control their paths. Twister on the other hand, has the power to create tornadoes and control their paths. Why do you think that we're called The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane?"

"Yeah, and how else did you think that I sent those tornadoes to bring you over to us! I certainly didn't tell Mother Nature to do it, and Mother Nature is just a saying!" The Dark Twister added.

Carly and Nevel then turned their heads towards Max and I.

"You guys have super powers?" Carly asked us, still confused about what was going on.

"Yeah," Max and I both sighed.

"Interesting. What are they?" Nevel asked, curious to know more.

"Why don't you ask The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane?" Max asked, "They seem to know everything about us!"

"They have heat breath, ice breath, telekinesis, and thundersense," The Dark Twister told Nevel, as he smirked, "They are also two of the children of Thunder Man.

Max and I gasped.

"Wait, what's thundersense?" Carly asked.

"It's a power that allows Max, our parents, and I to sense danger right before it happens," I replied.

"Oh."

"So, Thunder Man is real!?!?" Nevel asked us, shocked.

Max and I both nodded.

"Well, that I guess that's why your last name is Thunderman!"

Max and I nodded again.

"Ok, I can see why Max and Phoebe are so valuable, but what makes Nevel and I valuable to you guys?" Carly asked.

"Well, you see, Carly, Nevel is an evil genius and with his help, Hurricane and I belive that we can rule the world!" The Dark Twister laughed.

"So, you guys are asking me to join you guys, even though I don't have super powers, like you two?" Nevel asked.

"No. We are making you join us," The Dark Hurricane told Nevel.

"But, what if I decide not to join you? I do want to join you two, it's just that I'm curious."

"Then you won't even be an evil genius."

"What do you mean by, 'then I won't even be an evil genius'?"

"Why should we be telling you the consequences? You already said that you would be joining us!" The Dark Twister told Nevel.

"Good point, The Dark Twister!"

"Since we are now working together, you can just call me, Twister."

"And you can just call me, Hurricane," The Dark Hurricane added.

"If that's what you two prefer, that's what I will call you guys for now on," Nevel told The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane.

"So, how am I valuable to you guys?" Carly asked.

The Dark Hurricane and The Dark Twister both looked at each other and grinned.

"Carly, this is something that your parents should of told you a long time ago, but apparently they didn't want to tell you. So, instead of it coming from your father, it's going to come from us!" The Dark Hurricane stated.

"How do you guys know about whatever it is?" Carly asked.

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane both laughed.

"You see, Carly, we know you four so well, that we even know stuff about yourselves that you guys don't even know!" The Dark Twister stated.

"How do you guys know so much about us?" I asked, "It's starting to get creepy!"

"Yeah!" Nevel, Carly, and Max agreed.

"Ah, Phoebe, that is among one of the many questions that we will never answer!" The Dark Twister told me.

"Since I am now working with you guys, could you tell me?" Nevel asked.

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane both thought for a moment.

"Perhaps," The Dark Hurricane finally answered, "But if we did, it would have to be when we're away from the others."

"So, go on!" Carly ordered, "What's the thing that my parents should of told me a long time ago?"

"I don't know how to exactly tell you this, without freaking you out, Carly, but like Phoebe and Max, you also have super powers!"

Nevel, Max, Carly, and I all gasped out of shock. Wait, Carly has super powers? How did she get them and how come she never knew that she had them before? There has to be some kind of deep secret behind this! I wonder if The Dark Twister and Hurricane know the secret.... They seem to know more about us than we know about ourselves.

"I HAVE SUPER POWERS!?!?" Carly exclaimed out of shock.

"Yes, but don't try to use them," The Dark Twister told Carly.

"Well, why not?"

"Because they won't work!"

"How come they won't work!?!?"

"Yeah, and how come our heat breath didn't work on the metal straps?" I added.

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane each let out an evil laugh.

"Because you ate those power-eating berries, stupid!" The Dark Twister told us.

"Wait, what are power-eating berries!?!?" Max asked.

"They are berries that temporarily make your powers stop working!"

"Oh, you mean those blueberries that we ate?"

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane both laughed.

"I told you that it would be a good idea to disguise the power-eating berries as blueberries, Twister!" The Dark Hurricane exclaimed.

"And you were right about it too, Hurricane!" The Dark Twister complimented his wife.

"So, that explains why those blueberries tasted so funny!" I stated, "They weren't even blueberries; they were power-eating berries!"

"That's right, idiots!" The Dark Twister exclaimed.

"So, what super powers do I have?" Carly asked.

"Ah, that is something that you are going to have to figure out on your own, Carly," The Dark Hurricane stated.

"How come? Why can't you guys just tell me?"

"Because we don't want you to use them against us, once the affect of the berries wears off!"

"And when's that going to be?"

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane both smirked.

"We can't tell you that," The Dark Twister answered.

"Alright, then. So, how did I get my super powers?"

The Dark Twister just sighed. "I am afraid that we do not know that answer, Carly. Perhaps your parents know the answer to that question."

"Well, isn't this nice! I have super powers and nobody knows how I got them!"

"Well, at least you even have super powers!" I heard Nevel mutter under his breath.

"So, what are you guys going to do with Carly, Max, and I?" I asked, changing the subject.

"We won't do anything to you guys, if you accept our offer," The Dark Twister answered.

"What's the offer?"

"The offer is that you guys join Hurricane, Nevel, and I and take over the world with us!"

"NO!!! I AM NOT JOINING A BUNCH OF SUPER VILLAINS, LIKE YOU TWO!!!"

"YEAH, ME NEITHER!!!" Carly agreed.

"Fine, you two can go powerless then," The Dark Hurricane stated.

"What do you mean by that!?!?" I asked.

"I mean that we're going to drain your powers out with our Power Sucker 2,000!"

We all gasped.

"So, that's what you guys meant when you said that, 'I won't even be an evil genius', if I didn't join you guys!" Nevel realized, "You were going to drain my evil geniusness out of me!"

"Well, the Power Sucker 2,000 drains evil geniusness too," The Dark Hurricane stated.

"So, what do you say, Max?" The Dark Hurricane asked, "Are you going to join us?"

Max thought for a moment. "Yeah, I'll join you guys."

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane grinned. "Excellent," they both said at once.

The Dark Hurricane then turned towards Carly and I. "Girls, this is your last chance to keep your powers."

"No, I'd rather not have any powers at all than join you guys!" I cried in rebellion.

"Yeah, me too!" Carly agreed.

"Alright. See you guys in the morning."

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane each pulled a key out of the pockets in their suits. The Dark Twister then began to unlock the metal straps that were holding him down, while The Dark Hurricane did the same to the metal straps that were holding down Max.

"Come on, Max and Nevel," The Dark Twister said as soon as Max and Nevel were free, "We have work to do before we drain your friends' powers."

The Dark Twister and The Dark Hurricane then started to walk towards another area of their lair that I couldn't see. Max and Nevel nodded, then got up to follow them.

Just as Max was about to leave, I whispered, "Max, you can't do this to me!"

"I'm sorry, Phoebe!" Max apologized as he turned around to look at me, "You know that it's my dream to become a super villain!"

"Max, not even the most evil super villain would hurt his own sister.

Max looked me right in the eyes, then whispered. "I'm not going to let them drain your powers. Trust me."

The Dark Twister then peeked his head around the corner. "Coming, Max?"

"Sorry, Twister!" Max apologized as he caught up with Nevel, The Dark Twister, and The Dark Hurricane.

As soon as they had left, I sighed. What Max told me, made me feel more relaxed about this whole entire situation. Max was actually going to do something good for once; he was going to turn on The Dark Twister, The Dark Hurricane, and Nevel and I knew it.
