A Taste of Freedom

 A Taste of Freedom  is the fifth episode of Nicole 10.

Synopsis
The Digital Realm is a terrible place, really. Now, everyone in the world is going to have to learn that, one way or another.

Plot
Continuing from the last episode, Nicole is still in a void.

(Nicole): Let me out of here!

(Voice): Sure, die for nothing.

(Nicole): I'm serious, let me out of here, so I can at least try! Even if I fail, at least THEN I can die knowing I accomplished something!

(Voice): Very well. Although you are naive, and foolish, you may have this final chance. Good luck, though, I doubt luck will be on your side.

The void disappears, and Nicole is standing on a platform.

(Nicole): Yes!

She quickly looks around, as a stream of data is quickly rushing towards her.

(Nicole): Oh boy..

Nicole dodges the data narrowly, but it immediately turns around, and begins to change form.

(Nicole): You're kidding. The data..can..transform?!?!

In an instant, the data is in a form similar to a To'kustar, and roars.

(Nicole): I..am so dead.

''The data stomps at the platform, breaking it into several parts. Confused, the creature looks around, and upon noticing Nicole, jumps after the small section she's on, but falls down into the never ending pit below.''

(Nicole): I'm alive! Haha, take that, technology!

A loud buzzing sound echos off in the distance.

(Nicole): Wait, don't tell me. More freaky data cr-

A swarm of technological bug-like creatures swarm down and attack her.

(Nicole): Today just isn't my day.

Nicole transforms into Livewire, and electrocutes the creatures.

(Livewire): Can't you people understand that I'm trying to help someone?! Jeesh, talk about ignorance.

The small platform beneath Livewire begins to collapse, and she quickly jumps into the air, and uses electrical blasts to get to another platform ahead.

(Livewire): This is fun! Don't know how much energy I have left, but..it's fun! Now..where do I go from here..

Livewire continues to jump from platform to platform, until the Delta-X eventually times out.

(Nicole): I love Conductoids..

She stops, as a stream of data passes by her.

(Nicole): Alright. Now, the question remains: Where to g- oh. Well, that's surprisingly..easy.

''In front of Nicole, is a large sphere of electricity, randomly firing at its surroundings. As she slowly approaches the sphere, it electrocutes the Delta-X, causing it to malfunction.''

(Nicole): Why didn't Myaxx build a better casing for this thing?!

''The sphere expands in a flash of light, then suddenly emits a shockwave of energy, pushing Nicole off the platform she was on. Luckily, she manages to hold onto the edge, and pull herself up.''

(Nicole): Is energy really going to stop me? That's just sad..

She starts to hit the Delta-X repeatedly.

(Nicole): Work, ya stupid piece of junk!

MEANWHILE - EARTH

Ken is standing in line at Burger Shack.

(Ken, annoyed): How did this place ever get so popu- oh..Dad..yeah.

(Employee): NEXT!

Ken walks up to the counter, and sighs.

(Employee): What'll it be, Jim?

(Ken): It's Ken. You know..Ken Tennyson, son of Ben Tennyson, guy who got your restaurant so popular in the first place?

(Employee): So? Ya want a discount or something? Here, take a $5 coupon.

The employee hands Ken a small coupon, turns around, and yells something about milkshakes to another employee.

(Ken): No, actually. I'd like to place an order..

(Employee): Chili fries?

(Ken, annoyed): And a burger..

(Employee): Yeesh, no need to be so angry, kid. That'll be $7.93. Here or to go?

(Ken): Here, I guess.
