The End Of Our World, Chapter 3

By: Juria

Notes: All characters belong, to, well, themselves. This story is kind of a crossover of Avatar, Code Lyoko, some random stuff from my mind, and it all takes place in the real world. So far, rated-PG-13.

Juria and Knifegirl sat in silence over the next several minutes, Juria leaning against a wall, while Knifegirl leaned against a counter, spinning her gun on one finger, before placing it on the counter top. "So, how long have you been here?" she asked. Juria sighed. "Almost three weeks. So, how's gas prices?" he asked, getting a small chuckle from the both of them.

Suddenly, Knifegirl heard the clattering of metallic claws on the concrete outside. She reached for her gun, but Juria shook his head. "Don't bother, it's a waste of ammo. You get used to it, after a while." he said, closing his eyes and waiting for the sound to stop. "So, wanna play a video game?" he asked witha cheerful smile. Knifegirl scratched her head. "Huh? I thought Xana could possess all electronics." she said, rolling backwards to a standing postion, blowing her blonde hair out of her face.

Juria shook his head. "I don't get it either, but it's got something to do with those weird symbols outside. Apparently, somehow, all of the electronics are protected. On the other hand, don't bother using the phone. It's dead." he said, clicking on one of the TVs, then turning on an attached PS2.
"Um, what about their lasers? They could just shoot right through this place if they wanted to." Knifegirl protested nervously. Juria sighed, then tossed her a .9mm handgun. "Go ahead and fire off a shot at 'em." he said calmly, covering his ears.

Knifegirl carefully aimed the weapon, and fired, watching as the Krabs and Kankrelats scattered, then charged up their weapons. Panicking, she ducked and covered behind a metal table, waiting for the incoming blasts. Juria looked down at her and shook his head. "Did you honestly think I'd let you get hurt?" he asked, chuckling until she stood up and plowed him in the arm. "You jerk, you scared the hell out of me!" she shouted, while Juria held his ribs, laughing, partially from Knifegirl's reaction, and partially from the fact that the Krabs and Kankrelats's laser blasts were bouncing right back at them.

Knifegirl glared at him as he continued laughing. "Oh, come on, I'd never let anything happen to you." he said calmly. Knifegirl tried to stay angry, but eventually joined in laughing right along with him. "So, we're completely safe, right?" she asked. Juria shook his head. "If we were, I could walk right out that door right now. I'm still trying to figure out how they got here, why the symbols stop them, and how in the hell we're going to kill these damn things." he said, flopping in a chair in front of the TV.

Knifegril flopped down next to him and picked up a controller. It figured, he had a wrestling game in. "So, that's what I look like on this thing?" she asked. He smiled nervously, trying to hide his blush. "Yeah, it's not much, and I know it's way off compared to the real thing, but I think I did a good job." he said, blushing even more when he realized what he'd just said. Of course, her compliments didn't hurt the situation either.

TBC.

I know, it's short, it's filler, I'll do better next chapter.
