"Seize them!"

"Uh... Wait!" I shouted as the robots started to walk towards us. "We got lost, we just came here to see if we could get... Get help in finding our way."

"Y—yes, we didn't see any list of excommunicated citizens," Juanita said.

I slammed my head and looked at her. "He didn't need to know that," I said under gritted teeth. "You just sold us out chipmunk!"

"Don't put this on me! This is all your fault, you shouldn't have come in here, this is all you!" Juanita protested.

I looked back at him, he didn't look like the president I saw during the coronation, not the one I had seen earlier during the meeting earlier. The robot on red grabbed me and threw me over his shoulders, while the other grabbed Juanita by her waist and lifted her up. They started marching towards the door.

"Not through the main doors stupid!" He shouted at the robots, then walked over to his desk, he pushed a red button. His desk was pulled aside to reveal steps that led to wherever. "There."

"Get your hands off me!" Juanita shouted as the robots lifted her high.

"Where are you taking us?" I slammed my hands against the robots back, trying to free myself from his hold.

"You'll see," He said, but he stayed behind, not following us. The robots moved on, walking down the stairs. I watched as the desk came back to its place.

The steps went down in a spiral form, the only sounds were the thuds of the robots feet on the steps and of course Juanita's screams.

"My mother will have your head for this! Do you know who you are laying your filthy robotic hands on? Do you?" She shouted.

"Juanita he doesn't care, he's only doing what has been assigned to him," I told her, but she continued.

"Where are you taking me to? I am an Elite and I demand to know where you are taking me to!"

Minutes later we came to a stop at the foot of the steps and waiting for us already was Iheanacho, to his left a young man in an elite suit and to his right was the same lady who had given me directions earlier.

They were standing in front of a black gate, it was ten foot high and was made of tatenium, the strongest metal in the world.

Iheanacho walked forward. "I really hate to do this, but you teenagers have formed the annoying habit of pokenosing, and as you can see the end result, it has only landed you in trouble."

"If you kill us, my parents-"

"Why do you think your parents aren't concerned about your sister disapearance? It's so easy to brainwash them and soon-" He chuckled. "You both will be forgotten."

"My friends wouldn't forget me-"

"The machine works on teenagers too," The lady said. "And if your friends go about making trouble, they will find themselves in the same place as you."

"W—Where are you taking us too?" Juanita asked.

"You'll see," She told Juanita, a sardonic smile on her face.

"Open the gates John!" Iheanacho commanded.

"Yes Sir," John said and walked to the gates. Juanita and I shared a look and she gulped looking back at the gate.

John brought out a key from his breast pocket and fitted it inside the matching keyhole, he twisted it around, and stepped back. A thud was heard, then another, the sounds of locks being undone followed, rattles of chain were heard and for some seconds this were the only sounds heard. Then it suddenly stopped, the gates made a cringing noise before slowly, it started to give way. A heavy gust of wind came in, blowing my hair round my face.

"Get them out of here!" He ordered. The robots proceeded, walking towards the door, I struggled to get out of his hold but it was useless.

We were thrown outside and immediately, the gates started to close as soon as the robots got in, I stood up and tried to run back in, but froze in my steps as Iheanacho pointed a gun directly at me. I couldn't move or speak out of fear and watched with eyes wide open as the gates shut, leaving Juanita and I out.

Juanita got up and ran to the gates, banging her fist on it. "You bastard! You old fool! Bastard!"

"It's no use Juanita," I whispered as the reality of what had just happened hit me.

She turned round to face me, tears pooling in her eyes. "No. No, this can't be happening." She sniffed. "Where are we?"

"Isn't it obvious already? He has kicked us out into the wild, we're in the Gonzite land." She stared at me for awhile not saying anything, then slumped.

"Juanita!" I rushed over to her, kneeling beside her, I shook her, trying to get her back, she still didn't respond. I sighed and left her, our situation was faint worthy.

I couldn't see anything showing life ahead, no trees, no birds, just a desert. I heard a groan beside me, Juanita was waking. Her eyes fluttered open and she let out a sneeze. "Welcome back," I said.

She looked up at me. "So, it wasn't a dream?"

"No Juanita, No it wasn't."

"We're really in the land of the Gonzite?" She asked, a panicked look on her face.

"Yes we are," I replied.

"Oh Lord, I want to faint," She whispered.

I turned to her sharply. "Please don't, we don't know what's out here and-"

"ALERT ALERT, RELEASING GASES," An automated voice said. It was coming from the gates.

"What was that? What gases are they releasing?" Juanita asked.

"I don't know and I don't want to be here when they do." Just as the last words left my lips, a hiss came from the door, a small part was pulled aside and then out from it came green gas.

"Isn't that-"

"Juanita run!" Jumping up on my feet I started running as fast as my legs could carry me, I could hear Juanita's fast steps behind. That was a paralysis gas, it had the worst smell ever and could knock you out. Even when you regain consciousness, you won't be able to move a muscle or speak, to make matters worse you're left with the worse headache and you can't even voice out your pain.

"Are they mad!" Juanita shouted. "Why would they released that gas on us?"

"I think that's their way of telling us to get out!" I shouted not looking back, but something else hit my nose. It wasn't the paralysis gas since we have gotten way ahead of that, this was something different.

"We can stop running now, the gases have dispersed... What's that smell?" Juanita asked coming to a stop.

"Just what I was about to ask," I said, breathing heavily, due to the running.

"Urrgh!" She scrunched up her face in disgust. "It smells like rotten eggs and vomit." I nodded my head.

"Lord, I think..."

"What?" She asked.

"I think this is the Gonzite air," I whispered, but she heard me due to the look of horror that appeared on her face.

"You have got to be kidding me!" She screamed.
