Chapter 3 Paige Pov
"Wow! Big Bird!" I exclaimed as I perched a building a little ways away just incase the Evo got away from Rex. Which I most likely would. I watched as the Evo threw what looked like extremely sharp feathers as Rex, when he tried to get close to it. I saw the destruction that those feathers caused, putting holes in the street, sending the pavement, and making cars explode.
Note to self keeps away from feathers. I couldn't do much but watch as Rex and the bird grappled causing Rex to get thrown into a building. This fight was getting no where fast. That stupid birdie had Rex again but Six ordered me to stay put.
"Can that bird brain of your comprende that I'm trying to help you" I heard Rex asked as he tried smash the bird off his boogie pack.
"Paige, Rex has an overload of nanites, you have to go catch that bird" Six informed me via the comm.-link in my ear. I nodded and took off after that over sized chicken. I followed the bird for several blocks when it made a sharp turn and let out an unearthly bird wail. I felt my nails sharpen into wolf-like claws. I grinned this would be fun.
We stared at each other for what seemed like hours. The Evo let out other wail and everything seemed to move in slow motion. The birds wings opened and the razor sharp feathers shot out. I took off running right at the bird. I weaved and dodged the deadly feathers, feeling the slight sting of the air, as a majority of the feather flew inches from my body. When I reached the builds edge, I launched my self at the bird. It shot another round of feathers.
This round I had no ways of dodging. I barely had time to blink when the sting of those feathers took effect. I let out a small hiss when my hands found that damn bird's legs. I held on for dear life as the Evo let out an enraged wail and shot off smashing into buildings trying to knock me off.
"Not today Bird-brain" I shouted over the wind as I let go with one of my hands and stabbed my claws into the birds underbelly. I nearly lost my grip when the bird smashed me into a building. I jerked my free hand back an grabbed the bird's leg again.
"Need some help" A voice called. I turned my head to see Rex flying after us.
"Nope I'm good" I called back.
"Clearly" he snorted as I felt my hands slip.
"Shouldn't you be back at base" I called to as the bird turned so sharply my grip slipped even more. This was getting dangerous, I'd either have to let go soon and rise breaking every bone in my body or let go and fall to my most likely death.
The evo suddenly turned the new corner so sharply my hands slipped off the things legs for a breif moment. I felt the bird's talons digging into my shoulder. If that thing had a proper mouth I'm positive it would have smirked at me.
"Hey Rex, I think your going to have to finish this one" I shouted looking back over my shoulder but then seeing that no one was there. Before I could ponder where he could have go the bird threw me. I felt my body go numb for a moment as I saw my immanent doom in building form flying at me. I saw and heard the window before me shatter before the pain hit. The burning and stinging of the combination of glass and cuts from the bird feathers nearly made me black out.
As I staggered to my feet and looked through the shattered remains of where a window should have been, I saw a fuzzy shape flying toward me. What the-…..oh crap it's the evo birdie. I barely had time to move out of the way, when it's talons dug into my body and flung me through the other side of the build and into another. When the talons released me, I felt my knees hit the floor.
"Six….I couldn't stop the bird and I think that I need….need medical at-attention" I mumbled.
"Where are you" came his voice from the comm.-link.
"not….sure building with a huge whole in it" I mumbled, listening to a voice on the other side as I sunk into the darkness of unconsciousness.
…
I groaned feeling my newly bandaged shoulder hit the metal of the ship's wall.
"That one was me" Bobo informed Six, Holiday and possibly Rex if he was awake.
"Nice flying Bobo" I snorted rubbing my shoulder.
"We are only a few clicks from paradise base, storms kicking up" Six said before Bobo could reply.
"Ever wonder what sick, twisted providence flunky decided to name this base paradise?" Bobo asked a while later.
"One that's a few French fries short of a happy meal?" I replied with a grin
…
My legs were starting to scream as we ran down the hallway.
"this is Holiday, prep the nanite tank for emergence off load, I need 20 units' of zenofleurain (spelling?), biometric stabilizers and a heavy duty serge(not sure if this is correct) protector" Holiday said, cutting though the annoying sounds of the sirens and shoes hitting the ground.
I sighed when the next door opened reveling a very familiar face. Weaver.
"H-h hey you not scheduled to be here for another two weeks" he said. I rolled my eyes. How Weaver ended up here I'll never know.
"We have a situation" Doctor Holiday told him.
"You have a situation, I'm up to my neck in maintenance inventory, you people can't just barge in here unannounced" he said in an irritated voice.
"actually we can, this base exists for the soul purpose of unloading Rex's nanites, you know communications black out in storms like this" she said
"Half my equipment isn't even back on line, so your just going to have to turn around and come back when-" he was cut off when Bobo and Six pointed their weapons.
"Think again pal" Bobo said.
"Way to go Bobo and Six" I cheered silently. I glance over to Rex when I heard his cry out in pain. The whole building seem to shudder.
"Listen carefully Weaver, unless you want to be responsible for the lose of Providence's number on asset and unleashing the deadliest concentration of active nanites since the event you will move out of my way" Doc Holiday said icily.
He was beat. She had him there. So Weaver moved out of our way. We ran down the hall until we reached a large room. I glance around as we passed through briefly. The only thing that caught my eye was the guys playing cards.
"Diagnostic cycle huh?" I heard a thump on the table.
"What are you waiting for deal me in!" I heard Bobo continue as I left the room and entered into a huge yellow room.
Whoa this place is huge.
"Just as warm and cozy as I remember" Rex said, his voice slightly showing pain. I made small noise of sympathy. Pain is no fun.
"I know its pleasant Rex but we don't have a choice" she said. Rex started to spark. I flinched. Damn those people who first made Nanites, they only caused people pain.
"expecting someone" Six asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Rebooting the system takes a little more time and precision then slicing up evos okay?" weaver said. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh really? Then why is the tank reading nearly empty" asked Holiday.
"Oh gee, I have not had time to calibrate the nanites capacity gauge, I must have been interrupted by some know it all chick in a big hurry to tell me how to do my job" he said sarcastically before turning to leave.
"Weaver is just as warm and cozy as I remember him too" Rex said with a small smile.
"nanites are flowing" Rex paused before continuing.
"Can we skip the gas doc?"
"I wish we could but it's the only way we can assure that you won't accidentally activate any nanites during the transfer" Holiday said as she gave him the gas.
…
I stretched feeling the bandages tighten slightly. This place is boring. I sat there swinging my legs feeling the urge to get up and run out into the snowstorm outside. I suddenly felt something smash into the side of my head, knocking me off my chair and disorienting me. I pushed my self up into a sitting position when a cloth covered hand slid over my nose and mouth.
I tried to block out the sickly sweet smelling substance on the cloth. I noticed through the haze that my eyes where getting heavy. A chemical substance that knocks you out.
I struggled to my feet and looked for my attacker. I turned just in time to see on of Weaver's men hit me in the face. I stumbled back in a slight daze when I felt a fist connect with my already damaged ribs. I grunted as my knees hit the floor.
"The monkey's down" a voice reported.
"The girl is down too" my attacker said as, what I'm guessing was his boot connected hard with my spine sending my flat on my stomach. I felt the pain numb slightly as the chemical made me fall into the darkness of sleep.
