chapter 9: the end of the bad guys but not their troubles...
“FAWRIEL!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!!! THE WEAPONS CABINET DOES NOT NEED TO BE MOVED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SHIP!!!” Shouted Acid. Fawriel was at it again, trying to move the weapons cabinet to the other side of the ship. He had kind of turned into a game, where he tried to move the cabinet while Acid wasn’t looking. Acid wasn’t amused.
The shuttle was getting close to Omicron’s ship. Acid began to fidget. He tried not to think about what might happen. He walked into the lounge. He sat down.
“Tough day, huh?”
“Yeah, it’s as if they’re children! I don’t understand. They’re always taking up sports that could be harmful to the ship, to them, or to us. It’s as if you’re the only one not doing it, Jiaike. I’ll be mostly glad when we get to the station.”
Jiaike began tossing one of his grenades up and down. “I agree. They’d better stop goofing around and get their act together. I don’t want to attack Omicron with you and a bunch of clowns on my team.” He put the grenade back down.
Acid looked toward the red furred rabbit. “They were like this last time. All goofy and such. As soon as we got on Terminator’s ship, however, they started being serious again. I just hope they do the same this time.”
A little while later, after docking on Omicron’s ship…
Jiaike stopped. They were at a 6-way intersection in the halls- forward, right, left, the directions in-between, and back. “Okay, let’s split up into teams. We’ll have a better chance of finding Omicron and Black Jack if we split up.”
“Okay,” said Acid. “Good plan.”
Fawriel and Phoenix Wing edged closer together.
“I’LL make the teams, thank you,” said Jiaike. “Okay, Acid and Electrik, take straight forward. Flint and Jack Flash can take the forward right diagonal hall. Wizard of Odds and Headcheese take the path on the right. Blaze, Firefox and Fawriel take the path on the left. Phoenix Wing and I will take the diagonal forward and left.”
The search teams split up, and went down their paths. After a little while, everyone got a message from Jiaike.
“Somethings fishy. I can’t tell what, but I know something’s going to happen. I’ve just got that feeling that BOO-“
The explosion was cut off. It was probably because of the radio getting destroyed in the explosian. Everyone hurried back to the middle.
“We have to help them! We can’t just leave them alone!” said Acid, and they hurried down the forward left diagonal path. They kept walking for a while, then they found the remains of the radio, and a black scorch on the wall.
Acid began looking around. “The hall’s to skinny and goes on too long for there to have been a fight…” he looked closer at the ashes. “What the- fragments of a grenade! Jiaike sat us up!”
They began sprinting down the hall. They got to a large metal door.
“Locked!” said Electrik.
Acid fired his bazooka at the door. It did nothing. “The door’s bulletproof!”
Blaze, while everyone was trying to get through the door, had found a computer lock. He fiddled with a few combos on the keypad, and then he found one that opened the door! Fawriel flew right through the open space, as he had just launched another kick at the door, only to find it rise up right before his foot hit it.
“Oof!”
“Sorry.”
They all walked through. They were in a very large room. It looked like the perfect spot for a battleground. It was.
“SO, YOU FOUND US. VERY GOOD.”
The group looked up, and saw Omicron, Black Jack, Jiaike and Phoenix Wing standing on a platform above them.
“heh. You are definitely smarter than Terminator. A spy! Jiaike did his work well.” Acid commented.
Jack flash began aiming his blaster at one of the supports for the platform. He had found his, and given the purple and yellow spotted one to Headcheese.
“WE HAVE YOU RIGHT WHERE WE WANT YOU. NOW, IF YOU WILL ALL SURRENDER NOW, NOBODY WILL GET HURT. ATTACK, AND YOU MAY LIVE, BUT I CAN’T SAY THE SAME ABOUT YOUR FRIEND.”
Black Jack made his point clear by pointing his blaster at the side of Phoenix Wing’s head. “Yeah, what he says. If you don’t come quietly, then we know for sure you’re going to return to Carrotus with at least 1 less member of your team.”
Jack Flash fired. The shot ricocheted of Black Jack’s blaster, and into the support. Black Jack dropped his blaster, and it fell onto the platform where the team was standing, where it was promptly kicked off into the blackness beneath them. The support snapped, and the platform began leaning. Jack fired again, at another support, and the platform shifted to a 90-degree angle. Needless to say, the four standing on the platform fell onto the platform with the others.
Omicron got up first, and launched himself at Jack. He hit him head on. The two rolled back a little, then Omicron threw Jack Flash. Jack slammed straight into Acid, Electrik, and Flint, and the four hit the wall and were knocked out. Emmi ran over to help them. Omicron then leapt at Blaze, who did his best to defend, but failed. He was thrown on top of the heap, knocking into Emmi on his way. Wizard of Odds and Firefox attacked Omicron from both sides, but the attack was thwarted by Omicron grabbing one and using him as a bat to smash the other with, resulting with them being added to the now quite large pile of unconscious rabbits.
Headcheese walked over to Omicron with her hands behind her back, and putting on her angelic look. Omicron Scanned her. Headcheese took the opporitunity to show Omicron the object behind her back. The mallet actually left a dent on the top of Omicron’s head. Omicron looked surprised, then gathered his circuits and kicked her into the heap.
Now it was just Fawriel, and it didn’t look like he would win. He edged over to the wall.
The door opened.
“DARK HAUC? YOU’RE LATE, AS USUAL.”
“Oh, great. It looks like I missed something important.”
“ACTUALLY, JUST ME BEATING THE HECK OUT OF THEM.” Omicron gestured towards the pile of unconscious rabbits.
Phoenix Wing had grown tired of being held by the back of her neck, and began open rebellion. Black Jack had not been ready to battle Phoenix wing, or her with her claws extended, and much less a very TICKED OFF Phoenix wing.
Black Jack regained his senses as fast as he could, and tried to combat the new threat.
Fawriel ran over to the fight.
So did Omicron, who cut into the fight with a harsh kick that landed right on target. Phoenix Wing crashed into the railing, and almost fell, but caught the platform.
Omicron wasted no time in knocking Fawriel to the other side of the room.
Meanwhile, Acid started to come to.
“Uhhh?”
He accidentally kicked Electrik. Electrik woke with a start, and a burst of electricity. The electricity woke up all the other rabbits in the pile. They all jumped up.
“YOU WANT TO FIGHT AGAIN, HUH? I DON’T THINK THE OUTCOME WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT.” Omicron was beginning to receive anger messages. “BLACK JACK, I’M GETTING TIRED OF THIS. I THINK IT’S TIME WE PUT AND END TO THIS.”
Black Jack nodded, then turned to Phoenix Wing, who was trying in vain to pull herself up. He took out another blaster.
“NO!!!” Fawriel began to run over.
Black Jack ignored Fawriel, and fired.
There was a silence. It was one of the silences you get when someone has just done something REALLY bad.
Fawriel started running again, fuelled by a rage he had never known before. He slammed into Black Jack with such a force that Black Jack fell off the platform as well. Fawriel then looked over towards where Omicron, Jiaike and Dark Hauc were standing.
Omicron Launched at Fawriel, but was repelled back by a kick from his foe. He had never experienced being hit with so much power before; he had only used it! He got up again, and Fawriel grabbed him. Fawriel threw Omicron straight at Jiaike, and they both skidded off the platform. Dark Hauc ran for his life, but didn’t make it to the door. A small trail of smoke rose from Jack Flash’s gun.
Fawriel looked over the edge of the platform. It was a long, black fall. Driven by his rage, he dived down off the platform.
“NO!” shouted Acid. It was too late. Fawriel had already jumped. They all ran over. Blaze produced a length of line and a grappling hook.
“Use this. Someone can climb down, and see what happened. The others will stay up here, and secure the line.”
“I’ll go!” said Acid, before anyone could even finish taking in what Blaze had said.
He began climbing down.
It was a long way to the bottom. When he finally got there, he got off the rope, and started to adjust his eyes to the darkness. That didn’t help much, but he did see a few wooden crates. He used a little flamer ammo to set one on fire, as a makeshift candle. He looked around. He looked around. There appeared to be some kind of padding on the floor. That was pretty lucky for them. He looked around until he found the motionless figure of Phoenix Wing. She was still breathing. He couldn’t see Fawriel anywhere. He knew calling out would be stupid, as he would probably have been knocked out from the fall.
A figure limped out from behind a pile of boxes. It walked a few steps, and then collapsed next to Phoenix Wing. Acid brought the crate a little closer, and saw that it was Fawriel. He knew they were both still alive, but they couldn’t get back up on their own.
There! Ninth chapter. I'm sorry I forgot to make Flint do something.
To anyone who wants to know, Jiaike is pronounced Jee Iy ake
NOBODY is going to be in the next chapter, I promise. And this story is NOT going to die, not if I have anything to say about it!
