Chapter 3 ~
"Hey, six, pass me a grenade would ya-" Rex pointed to the heavily stocked shelf that secured all the ammo in the helicopter, a stern faced Six sitting below.
"No"
Rex threw up his hands in defiance "awww, come on" he clasped his hands together, making puppy eyes "Please?" he asked in the sweetest voice he could muster.
Six continued to stare coldly at him through his dark sunglasses. "No"
"but - Whyyyy" he moaned
"You already have enough weapons with your machines, not to mention your aim needs work"
"Wha-!? my aim is fine thank you very much" Rex took out an elastic band from his pocket and fired it at six sitting opposite him with a twang.
It missed.
six lifted up an eyebrow unimpressed.
"No"
Six mentally tuned out the explosive happy teens requests and contacted Caesar through his ear com. It still grated on him, but Caesar had been appointed chief scientist, and so had to now report to him on present matters.
"Caesar. What exactly are we flying into - This doesn't feel like a normal evo attack"
Caesar stood over multiple computer panels, one throwing up a stream of data, others showing news footage, but the one he was currently looking at were the ever fluctuating bars on the energy levels. He ran his hands through his hair as he stared at it. 'mierda'
"well - er, I don't say this often but I don't really know what we're looking at"
Six rolled his eyes behind his glasses and ground his teeth, he cast a cautionary glance at the muted tv showing the news footage
"All I know is that it is very exothermic, the energy usage levels are off the charts! I don't know how long this thing can last, it is highly unstable. Get out there as soon as possible"
The Pilot gave the signal to six "We're on our way out now - over" he stated cutting of communication
He directed his attention back to Rex who seemed to have noticed that Six was ignoring him and shut up in a sulky manner.
"Rex. We are going into this blind, all the information we have is that its dangerous and unstable. Nothing new. stick close to me and follow my orders."
Rex nodded, a professional seriousness coming over him.
Rex could annoy, pester, anger and ignore him, but he knew that if it got down to it, the kid knew what had to be done.
Six ran out with Rex behind him, not really knowing what to expect.
He heard it before he saw it. sounds of crackling energy, and almost lightening filled the air.
In front of him a huge orb of glowing fluctuating mass swirled, the wind whipped up the debris from the floor, creating a dust cloud, causing him to shield his eyes.
Looking closer six noticed movement from inside. 'Was that a shadow in the middle?'
the glowing orb brightened for a flash before a mass leaped out and ran away.
"Rex, you stay here in case anything else comes out" he shouted over the deafening wind whipping past his ears "I'm going after what ever just came out"
Six swiftly unleashed his blades and sprinted after it, fighting against the wind as he tried to keep up with the shadow that seemed to leap in bounds.
the further away he got the more he could see, the wind dying down. Buildings came into view. The beast had managed to climb the walls and was now jumping from roof to roof. Six ran up the roof of a car and jumped, leaping from wall to wall in a side alley to get to the roof.
He landed with grace and continued the chase, leaping off one rooftop to another. He was getting closer.
from his jacket pocket he threw several shurikens, but the beast dodged out of the way. he cursed and continued the chase. This thing was a lot more agile then first thought.
Just as he leapt off on to one of the buildings, the beast skidded to a halt, turned around and fired black dagger like objects from his mouth. Six tried to dodge them, but one caught his shoulder, causing him to lose footing as he fell onto the gravely rooftop.
he stuck his katanas into the roof to slow him down, just saving himself from skidding off the edge.
he heaved himself up, only to see that the beast, had vanished.
He swore a bit more loudly this time.
"Six - better get back here it looks like its going to spit another one out"
He tensed his jaw and pulled himself together, wiping away the blood from the grazes in his face, he continued.
"I'm on my way Rex" six folded his katanas back into his sleeves and looked back grimly at the empty view before sprinting back.
