A shy stutterer became friends with a narcoleptic girl, a telepath that looks surprisingly like the Roswell alien, a guy with three eyes, a water breathing princess with blue skin and a girl who can split herself into three people. From that day forward, he became Savant, the boy with a saber tooth tiger in his head. He along with his friends are Team Savant, the greatest cadet action team in the known universe. To catch up, read the arc of Team Savant Story click Here for the two previous chapter of the Short Story Egg-napped!

“Children, you
stare at me with dark eyes and a darkened heart. Savant or do you prefer Cadet Captain Nathaniel Devereaux?
Whatever. You practically look down on me and yet, you are wrong. I am the hero
here.”
Nathaniel
pressed furiously on his Uphone. “Explain.” Behind him, he stabbed the heel of
his foot into the shield that caged Deragon.
“You are
attempting to distract me, while you hope to find a means of escape… You are
wasting your time.”
“You are wasting
our time. What the Haliquock are you
doing?” Angela asked.
“Dear sweet
Angela Roberts. You are content to follow the cadet that housed the body of the
creature that inadvertently orchestrated your near death accident?”
“This cadet has
saved me multiple times.”
“She has saved
me just as much,” Nathaniel said.
“We have saved
each other. And aren’t you trying to kill us too? How are you any better than
Deragon?”
“Why are you
trying to reason with this madman?” Deragon said weakly. “Get me out of here,
so I can tear him apart.”
Green gestured
to the dozens of Bullyons behind him. “They have orders to injure, but if I
must kill you for the greater good—I will.”
“Yeah—you are a
real hero,” Angela said.
“But clearly you
see the fault in him being the wool for a wolf.”
“So you deem Deragon
a danger to Union,” Nathaniel said. “Is this a covert mission? Who sanctioned
this?”
“Wouldn’t you
like to know?”
“When this is
over and they disavow you,” Nathaniel said, “what will you do?”
Dr. Green
laughed. “You are assuming that you will come out of this with at least your
memory intact. If you survive, your memory will be the first to go.”
“Yeah, that is
not going to happen.” He pressed submit on his phone.
“I invented half
of those apps on your phone. The shield strength should only be bullet proof.”
“Were you the
author? I had no idea. You are right, the shield strength was as weak as the
signal strength, so I modified both.”
Dr. Green’s face
contorted, anger painted on his stone face, he turned to the Bullyons. “We have
no choice. Kill them.”
The Bullyons
fired their crude weapons threatening to burst the shield.
“Let’s see how
strong your signal is now,” Dr. Green said.
“Strong enough,”
Nathaniel said as he pulled Angela backwards. Their bodies phased through the
shield holding Deragon. “Strong enough to match frequencies with the shield you
made to hold Deragon.”
“And now you are
trapped in there with him. Making it easier to kill you and solving my problem
with a simple gesture of my hand.” He motioned and blue and gold electrical
energy danced back and forth in the cage, but Angela and Nathaniel remained
unharmed. “How?”
“Cutting Deragon
off from me was smart. After all, his energy is housed in my body, but now that
we are no longer separated, he can return to his full health and strength.”
“Yes,” Deragon
said, “and it is clawing time.” He protracted his claws.”
“His full power
has been calculated. There is no way you can break out of that shield.”
“You calculated
his full power,” Nathaniel said. “But no one has calculated mine—I don’t even
know my full strength.”
“What are you
talking about?”
“I will let you
see something that very few had ever seen.” Nathaniel signed the words, “Level
four release.” A diamond on Deragon’s collar disappeared. His size increased
momentarily but he reverted back to his normal size but his energy aura
increased nearly two-hundred percent. “Can you handle it?”
“Of course I
can,” Deragon said through gritted saber tooth teeth.
“Then quit dilly
dallying and get us out of here,” Angela said.
Deragon surround
them with a psionic energy bubble. In a blink of eye, the bubble tripled in
size, obliterating the shield and the mechanism that controlled it. He jumped
in front of Nathaniel and Angela and eyed Dr. Green and the frightened
Bullyons. “Please run…”
