Session 3: Through the Fire and Flames
"Hey Billy?! You got any food in this rust bucket?!" said Jasmin as she slammed the fridge door.
"No and I need to get my own fighter ship." I said. "You'll never know when you need one." I said as I lay on the couch reading a magizine called 'Ships for the Soul' I see one ship that looks like the X-Wing from Star Wars but with only the lower wings and it has a black paint job with a red stripe down the middle.
"Do you even know how to fly a single person ship?" she asks.
"Are you kidding me? I'm the guy who won the Eastwood 500 by one second." I reply.
"What happen to your last ship?" she asks.
"In the last Eastwood 500 some bastard clip my wing passing me and made me crash."
"That sucks."
We are arriving Titan in 5 minutes.
"That is where the dealership is." I said to Jasmin. We arrive on Titan and we walk out of the ship.
"Spike you could probably use a new ship since you don't have your Swordfish." I said. Spike has some sort of remote and presses the button and a garage on the Bebop opens up and reveals the Swordfish.
"And I thought the dealer was ripping me off." I said. Jasmin and I head to the dealership on Titan. We arrive at the dealership and I walk to the ship I saw in the magizine. I walk around it inspecting every bit of it. The dealer walks up to us.
"Walked up to it as soon as you came in eh?" he asked.
"Yeah I love this ship twin machine guns, 3 rocket launchers on each wing, one of the fastest single person ship in the galaxy and terrific gas mileage."
"So you want to buy it or tell me everything I know right now?" me and the dealer chuckle. I hand him my card and he slides it down the machine he is holding.
"Ok thank you Mr...Eastwood? You're not Grieg's son right?"
"Yeah I am." I reply.
"You know what? I owe your dad so many favors I am going to give this to you for free along with free supply of ammunition and rockets." he said.
"No I can't do that." I said. Jasmin bumps my arm.
"Don't you know a good deal when you hear one?" asks Jasmin.
"Since you owe my dad so many favors I accept your offer." he shakes my hand.
"Thank you Mr. Eastwood tell your dad I did you this favor." he said. He hands me the keys to the ship and we move it to the Bebop. On the way there we did some grocery shopping and we arrive at the hanger.
"Nice ship what do you call this?" asks Spike.
"The Enforcer ain't she a bute?" I ask.
"Yeah pretty bad ass." said Spike. Marcus walks out and sees the ship.
"Dayam I love this ship!" he walks up to it and feels the ship.
"Yeah it's pretty cool. Now lets put this baby in the Bebop." We load the ship into the Bebop and we leave Titan.
"This reminds me. I left my ship on Jupiter's moon." said Jasmin. I look at her.
"Why would you do that?" I ask.
"I was busy saving your ass." she replies.
"Ok we'll go back to Jupiter's moon." I walk over to the control panel and I enter the corordanants to Jupiter's moon. It's close by so it didn't take long to get there. We arrive at the hanger on Jupiter's moon we search the hanger.
"I found my ship!" she waves us over.
"This is Faye's ship." said Spike.
"It's my ship now. My mom gave it to me. Now lets load my ship into the Bebop." we push and pull the ship into the Bebop and take off. I'm lying on the couch I turn on the TV.
"Howdy y'all welcome Big Cash Bounty I am Dante Williams and this is my partner in crime Jessy Rose!" said a dark long haired man with a mustache wearing a cowboy outfit as he points to a red head girl with a cowgirl outfit on."Today we have a great line of bounties just begging to be captured right Dante?" she asks.
"That's right Jessy! We got the notorious outlaw Will Rogers wanted for smuggling grade A drugs from planet to planet. A womping ten thousand woolongs is being rewarded for his capture."
"Wow I would like to go after that guy myself!" says Jessy.
"Well you know what to do get out there and get that bastard!" said Dante. "This is Big Cash Bounty wishing all you bounty hunters..."
"Happy hunting!" said Dante and Jessy toghether. I turn off the TV.
"Ten thousand woolongs is chump change compared to what I chase." suddenly the ship rumbled and I fall out of my couch. "What was that?!" Spike runs in the room.
"Space pirates!" said Spike. I run to the window and I see a ship fly by. I run to the garage with my ship and I enter my ship The Enforcer and Spike opens the door and I take off. One of the pirate ships start chasing me and firing his machine guns at me but I do some fancy manuvers to avoid them. I dive down sharply and the pirate fallows I do a barrel roll and I go up I see a meteor and I quickly move to the right and the pirate crashes into the meteor.
"How you like them apples biznatch?!" a pirate comes towards me from the front and I fire a barrage of machine gun fire and I destroy a wing on his ship and he does a barrel roll past me just barely touching my ship and crashes into another meteor. "Yeehaw! Ride em' cowboy! Get some!" I start chasing another pirate he tries to lose me but I stay on his tail.
"Boggie is on my ass and I can't shake him!" says the pirate. "Who the hell is this guy?!" my computer screen locks on the pirate's ship and I launch a missle he tries to fly away but the missle keeps following him. "May day! May day! Ah!" the missle collides with the ship and turns him into a fire ball and I fly through it.
"Yippie-kai-yay mother fuckas! Woo! What a rush!" I said as I did couple of barrel rolls and head back to the Bebop. Spike was standing at the hanger in a space suit when I arrive. I land and the door closes and oxeygen is restored in the garage. I get out of the ship.
"You did good for your first time." said Spike as he patted me on the back.
"Thanks Spike." I said. Jasmin walks into the garage.
"That was some pretty fancy flying Billy." said Jasmin.
"Well when your dad is rich he can afford the best flying coach. I still have addrenelin puming through my vains."
"I know what you mean." said Spike.
"Wheres Marcus?" I ask.
"He's looking up some confidential info on Will Rogers." replied Jasmin. I walk into the living room and I see Marcus on a computer with gloves and helmet.
"Marcus buddy hows the search coming along?" I said.
"Well I did find some vital info Will Rogers has a base somewhere on Earth."
"Earth huh?" I said. "We could use some extra cash for more weapons I guess I can go after a low life like him." I said as I lean on the chair. Spike is entering the corordanants for Earth. I walk into Jasmin's room and Jasmin is sitting on the bed listening to music.
"Hey Jasmin I been wondering about that little situation on Jupiter's moon in the apartment."
"That was all professional I needed to be near you so I could protect you." said Jasmin.
"C'mon there must have been some kind of connection in that kiss." I said.
"There could have been." said Jasmin.
"I hate it when girls play with my emotions. I was really hoping there was something in that kiss. I actually thought you could be the girl for me." I said as I walked out. Jasmin sighed and continue listening to her music. We arrived on Earth I looked outside. "Man this scene is depressing." I said as a looked at the rubel and debris.
"It's gonna be hard trying to find Will Rogers on this planet." said Jasmin. I get in my ship and start searching with Jasmin who is in her ship.
"Jasmin I doubt there was nothin in that kiss." I said in the radio.
"Will you just drop it Billy?" asked Jasmin.
"Incoming!" I shout before a R.P.G hits Jasmin's wing.
"Ah damn it!" she starts spiraling.
"Jasmin!" I said. She lands on the ground. She's undamaged but I can't say the same thing about the ship. Some men in camoflauge start coming out of the rubel with machine guns. I did a u-turn and swoop down and fire my machine guns and killed some of the men as the others scrambled out of the area. I land on a smooth area and I take my DH 22 assault rifle with me. Men keep coming out of nowhere.
"Die cowboy!" said a thug who tries to punch me but I blocked the punch with one arm I drop my assault rifle and grab his arm with the other then throw him down. He gets back up and tries to kick me but I block it with my arm.
"Ow! It feels like I just kicked a brick wall!" I punch him with my free hand and he goes flying. While he's in mid-air I pick up my assault rifle and fire a burst of gun fire at 3 men running towards me and I killed them. I make it to Jasmin's ship which is upside down.
"Hey Billy a little help." said Jasmin while she's upside down. I grab one part of the ship and the other and I pulled it down with my cyborg strength till it's right side up. She opens the door and steps out he foot clips the ship on the way out which makes her trip but I catch her. She looks at me.
"I didn't notice your yellow eyes." she said.
"They used to be blue." I said. I hear a gun's hammer being pulled back. I look behind me and I see a gun in my face. "Talk about a romantic vibe killer." I said. We're in handcuffs that were stoled from the police station that was destroyed from the gate crash I am wearing special cyborg handcuffs though. We enter in a building and I see crates of drugs everywhere.
"So good for you to join us!" said a voice from nowhere. A blue eyed white long haired man stepped out of the shadows. I try to brake the handcuffs. "Don't try to get out those are made out of special steel designed to hold cyborgs."
"How did you know I was a cyborg?" I ask.
"Please you think I don't watch the news and use the internet? Billy Eastwood age 22 piseces born on March 16, father is Grieg Eastwood owner of Eastwood city mother is Diana Ross a computer program designer. You're a ship racer and winner of the Eastwood 500 you were the youngest man to win such a event." he said.
"I see you've brushed up on some history." I feel a pinch on my back I look behind me and I see a needle in my back with a guy pushing down on the button of the syringe. "What did you just do to me?!" I see a bunch of wild colors and the room is spinning.
"Billy! You bastard what did you to him?!" she scream at Will. I start seeing everything all slow.
"I gave him a taste of my drug it's a cousin of the notorious Red Eye drug." I struggle to brake the cuffs and I'm finally able to I lashed at a thug and brake his neck. A thug tries to hit me with a electric baton but I catch it with my hand and I brake it and punch the thug so hard he died when my fist impacted I jump up and I tackled Will Rogers and I beat him sensless. Jasmin finally gets free after picking the lock with a hair clip and pulls me off of Will.
"Billy! Billy stop it!" said Jasmin. I stop and I sit down. She picks up Will by the collar. "Where's the anti-drug?!"
"To avoid another beating I'll give you the anti-drug." he hands a vile to Jasmin and she punches Will across the face and knocks him out. She gives me the vile and I drink the anti-drug and my vision goes back to normal.
"I got a headache." I said as I put my hand on my forehead I black out and faint. Jasmin calls Spike.
"Spike we got Will and we're heading back to the Bebop." said Jasmin.
"Roger that." said Spike. I wake up on the couch in the Bebop with a blanket and pillow behind my head. Spike walks in the room.
"Billy how you feeling?" asked Spike.
"Like I just got smacked in the face by a frying pan. How did I get here?" I asked.
"Jasmin brought you here." said Spike as he walks out of the room. I drifted back to sleeep.
See you in space cowboy...
