Chapter. 14
I arrived at the Broken Shillelagh and started walking towards CID.
"I've been researching your friend Pierce, are you sure you wish to retrieve him ?" CID asked
"What kind of fuckin' question is that ?" i responded
"An honest one. Historically, you spend nearly half your time ridiculing him." CID said
"Yeah, and the other half respecting and threating him nicely. Besides, it's all in good fun." i said
"Making a man who risks his life for you and what you stand for the butt of your comedy routine is "all in good fun" ?" CID asked
"Yes..." i said
"You're a terrible person."
"Ugh, whatever. Can ya gimme the goddamn cypher ?" i asked
A Saints Flow energy drink spawned in my hand, and i opened it.
"He's one of my closest friends, and I am saving his life, you know." i said to CID
"You don't have to convince me. Just yourself. Drink up." CID said
"We're talking about this later." i said to CID, taking a drink of the Saints Flow and walking into the gateway.
"As the face of the Saints, Pierce Washington was always comfortable in the public's eye. Some may think he's gone soft because of this. But he's been my right hand man, and my 2nd in command of the Saints, ever since we lost Johnny all those years ago, and he's always been loyal to the crew and his friends no matter what had to get done."
I opened my eyes and i found that i was in an elevator. It was on the ground floor going up. And there was purple lights, a dark purple floor, mirrors on all three sides and a purple fleur-de-lis above the mirrors at the back of the elevator.
"Hold on, this is the elevator from the Saints Penthouse H.Q in Steelport." i said realising where i was.
The elevator reached the top floor and the doors opened.
I turned around and saw Pierce. Someone had both his arms locked around Pierce's arms, holding him in an arm lock and another person ran up to Pierce.
"Dammit, get away from me!" Pierce yelled
Pierce pushed back and got his feet in the air, and dropkicked the person running up to him in the face, knocking him out instantly.
"Pierce! Hang on buddy, i'm coming." i yelled across the room
Pierce then got his right arm free and elbowed the person holding him in the face then turned around and knocked the person out with a hard right punch.
I walked up to Pierce who looked exactly the same as he did seven years ago.
"Boss, how the hell are you here ? Know what, nevermind. But man, am i glad to see you!" Pierce said as i gave him dap
"I'll explain later, and it's good to see you too buddy." i said
I looked at the bodies. They were Saints Flow mascots ?...
"Wait, hold on...Saints Flow. The fuck is going on here?" i asked him
"Pierce, THIS is your biggest fear ? Marketing gone bad ?"
"BAD?! Our own IP is attacking us, and you're making jokes ? These things are trying to KILL ME!" Pierce said unimpressed
"Or pour you a drink. Ever think of that ?" i asked him
"Okay. Lemme just stop and ask them if they're just trying to serve me a cold, refreshing drink!"
"Worth a shot, right (!)" i sarcastically replied
More Saints Flow mascots ran down both sides of the stairs.
Suddenly there was a terrifying, loud, screeching noise coming from outside the Penthouse
"WHAT. THE FUCK. WAS THAT ?" i asked Pierce
"You don't wanna know!" Pierce said
"No, i do wann-Shit! Pierce, back to back." i said to him, noticing a lot more appearing.
We got back to back and started beating down and killing all the Saints Flow mascots that came after us.
Once they were dealt with, there was a rumbling, and then the whole building shook, and shook, and shook.
"Oh shit! We need guns."
"Hey wait! You took my line." i complained
"And there's a reason for it! NOW MOVE!" Pierce yelled
"Dammit Pierce, i give the orders here! That's always me! Oh, and uh, why'd you not think about arming up before i got here ?!" i asked
"Cause i been busy with these guys keeping me away from 'em 'till you showed up." Pierce replied
We ran up the stairs and going up them a Saints Flow mascot tried kicking me in the face, i grabbed its foot, picked it up and tossed it over the side.
"A'ight, i think there's some Swat SMG's in your room." Pierce informed me.
We ran into my personal room in the penthouse and found more Saints Flow mascots all waiting for us inside the room.
One of them tried to punch me, but i dodged his punch and pushed him to the ground, then grabbed my Genkibowl VII Trophy which was nearby, and smashed the Saints Flow mascot's head in.
We killed the rest and ran over to the Saints themed weapons crate, opened it and found some Swat SMG's. We grabbed one each and left the room.
"So Pierce, uh, what was that noise i heard ?" i curiously asked
"You really don't wanna know." Pierce told me
"Whatever, i'm gonna find out eventually anyway." i said
I noticed two Nocturne swords in a glass display above the stairs. I smashed the glass open with the Genkibowl trophy and grabbed one of them.
"Hey Pierce!" i yelled.
He turned around. "Yeah Boss ?"
"Here, catch!" i said throwing him a sword.
He caught it and sliced up a SF mascot that ran at him from the upstairs elevator.
"Yo! Boss! There's some Deacon 12-guage shotguns in a weapons crate over by the bar and the stripper pole if ya want one." Pierce informed me
"Okay, good to know." i said
I ran over to the bar. But i heard the loud screeching get even louder and closer.
And all of a sudden, A GIANT FUCKIN' HAND rose from the fog below!
"Uh, Pierce. THERE'S A GIANT FUCKING HAND OUT THERE!" i yelled
"Oh trust me, i know." Pierce responded
Suddenly it came down and smashed through the bar area right next to me, barely missing me but sending my smg flying a little bit away from me.
"JESUS CHRIST!" i yelled
"BOSS! You okay ?!" Pierce yelled over
"I'm fine man, just gimme a sec here." i replied
I got to my feet and ran past the smashed bar and then stripper pole and opened the crate, grabbing a shotgun.
I went to pick up my Swat smg but the hand came down against the penthouse again, so i dove outta the way. And just in time, but unfortunately i'd lost my SMG.
The hand then smashed the support on the floor below and the entire bar area tipped to one side and i could only watch as the floor slowly fell towards wherever the hand was coming from. The white and purple piano fell onto the hand. But dealt no damage whatsoever.
I got up, ran over to Pierce, and i saw the hand start to demolish the side of the penthouse it was on.
"Boss, there's some Shokolov AR's in the plant room. Imma go grab one." Pierce said
He ran in, grabbed a Shokolov AR, killed two SF mascots then ran back over to me.
"Uh, Pierce. We're gonna need something more powerful than these weapons." I said, as everything i fired at the hand pretty much bounced off of it.
"Well hey, there's always the RPG's out on the pool deck." Pierce casually said
"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU LEAD WITH THAT ?!" i yelled
"CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT THEM BLOWING UP THE CRIB, OKAY!" Pierce yelled back
We ran out to the pool deck, i vaulted the wall and grabbed a RPG.
I looked up and saw what the hand was attached to.
It was a giant Saints Flow mascot, with bright orange eyes and mouth, and oh boy, did it look pissed!
It'd stopped smashing up the side of the crib. Although looking at the side, i'd noticed it'd destroyed nearly half of the whole penthouse, that whole side was now just rubble.
It raised it's fist and let out another loud screech.
"LOOK OUT! Here comes Paul!" Pierce yelled at me
"Paul ? You named it Paul ?!" i said giving him a "Seriously ?" look
"Hey man, does it matter ? Shoot them rockets at him already!" Pierce yelled
Paul slammed his fist down on the helipad and ripped it clean off, letting it descend into the heavy fog below.
I picked up my shotgun and put it in my jacket holster and put the sword in a sheath on the back of my jacket and started shooting rockets at Paul.
"Hahah! How'd you like that, Paul ?" Pierce taunted
"Open wide!" i yelled as i kept firing rockets at him, even shooting one rocket into Paul's mouth, silencing him just as he was about to let out another loud screech.
Eventually, Paul randomly shot lasers from his eyes towards us.
"Shit, look out!" Pierce yelled
"Eye beams! Seriously ?" i yelled, frustrated at the 50 foot soda cans massive advantages.
We kept firing rockets at him and eventually he got extremely pissed off, raised his hand and smacked both of us into the air.
Pierce's Swat SMG and Shokolov AR got sent flying out of his hands in the other direction, while i kept a tight hold of the RPG.
We flew through the air towards the Joe Cola building opposite the penthouse. Pierce landed hard on the rooftop, while i collided with the Joe Cola logo, dropped the RPG and rolled down onto the roof below.
I got to my feet and picked up the RPG.
"Pierce, you okay up there ?" i called up at the roof he landed on.
"Yeah, i'm fine Boss, just a little bruised is all. There's a helicopter higher up the building here, i'm gonna climb up the side to it. Think you'll be okay on your own ?" he asked me
"Yeah. Get that helicopter and come pick me up, i'll be fine." i assured him
Paul climbed onto the roof of the penthouse crushing more of it in the process.
I shot the last of my rockets at him and killed more Saints Flow mascots that appeared with my shotgun and Nocturne.
Meanwhile Paul was smashing up the penthouse, he grabbed the piano and threw it in my direction.
I dove out the way though, it smashed on impact with the wall. Then Paul threw the Saint of all Saints statue, some couches and some beds at me. I dodged them all.
Paul threw the RPG crate at me, once it was on the rooftop i ran over to it and reloaded.
I fired the last of the rockets at Paul, i fired the very last rocket at him and it knocked him back, he slipped and fell on his back, sadly crushing the entire penthouse in the process.
"I think i know how you can beat Paul." Kinzie randomly said
"Kinzie, where the fuck have you been ? And how d'you know it's name ?" i said
"I've been trying to figure out how to make you large enough to fight that thing." she said
"What...?" i said confused
"Just get to the Magarac island. And get Paul's attention so he follows you." Kinzie told me
"Oh, Pierce'll love this. Heh heh heh." i chuckled
Pierce had successfully climbed up the side of the wall to the helicopter and started it up, he landed it next to me. I dropped the empty RPG and got it.
"Get in, Paul ain't gonna stay down forever." Pierce said
"Yeah, no doubt. Kinzie's got a plan." i told him as i got into the battle ready Eagle helicopter with him
"Kinzie does ? Kinzie...Girl ain't even here." Pierce complained
"I've been here the whole time Pierce, i'm the reason the Boss is even able to get into your simulation. The Boss and i have already saved Shaundi and Benjamin. Now can you shut up and listen to the plan so that you can beat Paul and escape ?" Kinzie asked
"Wow. And yeah sure, mind filling me in ?" Pierce asked
"Kinzie says we need to get to the Magarac island and get Paul's attention so that he follows us." i informed him
"TO FOLLOW! Well, you'd better have something big planned then Kinzie..." Pierce said sounding unsure of Kinzie's plan
As Pierce flew the helicopter in circles around the fully demolished penthouse in which Paul lay unconscious on top of, i asked him
"If you're so afraid of this stuff then why, did you become the face of the Saints ?" i curiously asked
Pierce fired countless missiles at Paul, along with unlimited mini-gun fire.
"Well the money helps. And who says i'm afraid of it ? This is like when something you love is trying to kill you, and you just can't stop it." Pierce said
Suddenly Paul regained consciousness and lunged at us.
"Muthafucka!" Pierce yelled in a slightly worried tone, as he quickly dodged the chopper out of Paul's way.
Paul missed and Pierce flew the helicopter over him and in the direction of Magarac island.
Paul leapt from the destroyed H.Q onto the building next to it, chasing after us.
Then he took a ginormous leap and almost clipped the tail of the chopper, but instead slammed hard against the ground, face planting and crushing more buildings below as there was no high up buildings for him to safely land on top of.
"HAHAHAHAH! Take that Paul!" Pierce happily yelled
But Paul grabbed a piece of rubble and threw it at the chopper.
"SHIT! PIERCE! WATCH OUT!" i yelled at him
He tried to dodge out the way of it, but he was too late...
It clipped the very back of the tail and sent the chopper spinning around out of control.
"Shit! Hold on, imma try and land this bitch!" Pierce yelled, as the chopper's tail pulled ferociously to the left now completely sideways, but Pierce quickly pulled back and pulled the chopper back to the right, straightening the Eagle out.
As it spun out of control again, and slowly descended, Pierce fought relentlessly against it for control.
It stopped responding to Pierce's control over it completely and made a straight bee-line for the statue. The Eagle crashed into the base of the Joe Magarac statue. The tail was half ripped off, the base of the rotor was on fire and the Boss's side of the downed chopper lay facing the ground.
"Uh fuck, that hurt like hell...Pierce...You okay buddy ?" i asked him
"Uh, yeah Boss, i'm fine. C'mon let's get up the stairs." Pierce said pushing his door open and pulling himself out of the wreckage.
I did the same and climbed up to the only way out and pulled myself up and out of the wreckage..
We jogged up the stairs to the doors, both of us in pain from the crash, both our chests and our heads with light gashes on them, both of us hurting and bleeding, but we pushed on despite it. A couple of cuts and bruises never stopped anyone before, right.
"Okay Boss, you need to run through the doors, i figured out how to make you big enough to fight Paul." Kinzie announced
I looked up at the statue of Joe Magarac. "Oh! Oh, of course!" i said realising what Kinzie needed me to run through the doors for.
Pierce, who was frozen on the spot observing Paul in the distance slowly making his way towards us, turned around to face me.
"What'chu talkin' bout ?" Pierce asked me with a confused look
"Just wait and see man, you're gonna love it." i told him
I gave Pierce my shotgun and Nocturne, just incase more Saints Flow mascots came after him while i was inside the statue.
I ran through the doors and they slammed shut behind me.
"Eh man! What the fuck!" i heard Pierce yell in his usual moaning voice.
I chuckled at his reaction to the doors slamming shut. He came up to the doors and just stood there with his hands on them with a "Puss in Boots, big sad eyes" look on his face.
I was almost rolling around on the ground laughing! I nearly got hiccups! Man, Pierce cracked me up sometimes.
The elevator doors in front of me opened up, i raised two fingers and saluted to Pierce before i ran into the elevator. The doors closed and my vision went black, then purple, then my vision was up high above the ground.
"Fuck. Yes." i yelled, as i realised that I was now in full control of the statue of Joe Magarac.
"Yo! Wh'the hell'd that come from ?" I faintly heard Pierce yell
I ripped both my feet outta the base of the statue.
"What the fuck is THIS shit ?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ?!" i heard Pierce shout.
I jumped off the statue into the water below, and prepared to whoop Paul's ass. Luckily the heavy fog had cleared up, and i put my hand on the ground and picked Pierce up in my hand, i placed him on my shoulder, thus giving Pierce a excellent view of the fight.
"So you like it ?" Kinzie asked
"I. FUCKING. LOVE. THIS." i responded
"Alright, let's see what ol' Joe Magarac can do!" i said
I smacked Paul with the ladle countless times around the face.
"Jesus man careful! I could fall off ya know!" Pierce moaned
"You'll be fine, just hold tight." i replied
"How 'bout a little ladle action!" i thought to myself
"Look out, he's gonna laser eye you again!" Pierce warned me.
"Laser eye ?" i said
"Fuck, you know what i mean!" Pierce said
After a few seconds, i heard Pierce say "So, do i getta drive that thing next ?"
"Keep dreaming." i told him
"Aw, damn it!" Pierce sadly said
Eventually i knocked Paul to the ground and he wasn't getting back up anytime soon.
"Oh, you don't like that, do ya ?" i yelled at Paul
I put my Ladle down and grabbed Paul. I pulled him to his knees, grabbed his lid and ripped it open.
"Don't worry Paul, i'll pour one out for ya!" i yelled
"Oh, that's right, pop that top!" i heard Pierce say
As the Saints Flow drink inside him began spraying everywhere and running down his sides, i grabbed the bottom of the can part of Paul and lifted him off the ground, and off of his feet. I started pouring all the drink outta him.
Then, i raised him high above my head.
"Time to make a new monument!" i yelled
I threw Paul through the air towards the remains of the statue and watched, as he got impaled on the statue. The Saints Flow drink sprayed everywhere with some of it covering nearly half the monument in the purple energy drink.
I put Pierce back down on the island.
"Yeah, that's a good look for him hahah!" Pierce yelled, laughing happily
"Know what ? That's just kinda fucked up." Pierce said pointing up to the "new monument" with a large grin on his face, as Paul's eyes went black.
I chuckled and asked him "Hahah, yeah! You ready to get outta here ?"
"Hell Yeah. Can't wait to get back to Earth." he said
Everything around us disappeared and i returned to being...well, me.
Then purple lights began swirling around Pierce.
"Don't worry Pierce. Once you're awake and back in the real world, it won't be long before we come and pick you up, okay." i assured him
"Got it, Boss. See you on the other side." Pierce said with a smirk
Pierce disappeared in the swirling purple lights and the island and it's new monument faded away into the familiar swirling colours. Then i woke up once more.
"Boss, i can't find any parts for the mech suit. I'll keep searching though." Kinzie said getting out of her seat.
"Think there'll be parts for it around Zinyak's ship ?" i asked her
"I'm sure there will be." she told me
"Well, we'll look into that later on, after we've got Pierce back on board." i told her
"Right, anyway let's get to the closest landing platform to Pierce's pod." i told Kinzie
"Already on the way." Kinzie said
"Now, if you'll excuse me, i need to go help Oleg with working on perfecting the cloning tank." Kinzie said before walking to the cargo bay.
I followed her and saw some of the crew doing their own things -
Tobias was fixing his Hippie chopper and adding some ZinTek, some Zin armour and some more Zin weapons.
"Hey Tobias, how's your chopper doing ?" i asked him
"Hey Boss, I should have it good as new pretty sometime soon. I'm adding more armour, cause this alien armor seems pretty tough." Tobias said
"How long 'till we could use it to grab our friends even quicker ?" i asked
"Hmmm, i dunno, half a day probably." Tobias said
"Okay man, i'll leave you to it. Oh, by the way, you want any help from Samson ?" i asked him
"Eh, yeah could do actually, could ya send him over here when ya get a chance ?" Tobias asked
"Okay, will do, by the way, could you help me rescue Pierce from Zinyak's mothership ? I want to make a quicker rescue this time. I just need you to pilot the Vulture to wherever Pierce is at and shoot down any Zin in the way, then get us back here no problem. Think you're up for that ?" i asked Tobias
"Hell yeah, of course i'll help you save Pierce, Boss dude. Besides, i've been wanting to shoot down some intergalactic assholes for a while now anyway." Tobias happily responded
"Okay, thanks Tobias, see ya in a bit then, man." i said
"See ya in a bit, Bossman." Tobias said giving me dap, before getting back to repairing his chopper.
Oleg and Kinzie were talking about how to perfect the cloning tank to possibly clone our friends back to life.
"So. Any luck with this at all, guys ?" i asked them
"Not yet, my friend. But give us some more time and we could probably gain some progress." Oleg said
"Okay. Good to know, when youse make some progress, fill me in, okay." i said
"We will do, Boss. You can count on us." Kinzie said, smiling once again
And Will, Samson and Samantha were all admiring the mech suit.
"Pretty impressive, ain't it ?" i asked the three.
"It looks like a hell of a lot of fun to use, like." Samantha said
"Yo Playa, when do i getta use it hahah!" Will asked
"When Zinyak's dead." i told him
"Yo, that's fair enough. Playa." Will replied
"Yo. Samson, Tobias is aking for your help in fixing his chopper." i told him
"Okay Boss, thanks for telling me, i'll go help him out now." Samson said walking towards Tobias
I began walking around the rest of the ship while i waited for whoever was piloting it to reach the platform.
Kevin, Katie, Antonio and Luz were in the kitchen drinking some beer that was just lying around.
"Hey Kev, hey Kate. How you two doing ?" i asked them
"We're doing good, bro. But me and Katie been wondering bout something." Kevin said
"Oh yeah ? What is it guys ?" i asked
"When you've got Pierce back on board, d'you think just the three of us could relax in the simulation ? Just for a little bit ? We're curious to see what it's like." Kevin asked
"More so cause both Katie and i have really missed spending time with our big brother." Kevin continued with a smile
"Of course we can. I missed you guys too." i said hugging them both, with them hugging back and the three of us just laughing.
As i was about to turn around and leave. I heard Luz and Antonio laughing
I turned round, with an eyebrow raised.
Luz and Antonio were holding hands with Antonio whispering something in Luz's ear.
"Ooh, Antonio! Thank you, do you really think so ? You're such a gentlemen." she said
He whispered something else in her ear and she began blushing.
"Oooh! Oh, my." Luz said, really blushing now
I looked over at Kevin who had the same "The fuck they talking about ?" look on his face as me.
I was gonna ask them something, but decided not to bother.
I turned around and walked to the living room area and found Josh and Jenny on the couch sleeping together.
I walked upstairs to the simulation room. Troy and Legal Lee were still inside the simulation, just exploring it.
Shaundi and Cypher were standing next to the door talking to each other, getting on really well with each other.
"Hey baby." i said, walking up to Shaundi, kissing her on the cheek.
"Oooooooh!" Cypher said, smiling happily
"Hey sweetie." Shaundi said
"Hey Cypher. How are you ?" i asked
"Hey Boss. I'm good thank you." she said
"What youse talking about ?" i asked
"Just, uh, girl stuff." Shaundi said
"Okay, well i'm gonna go relax in my room 'till we arrive at the platform." i said
"Ooh, before i go though. Could you tell me where Gryphon, Keith and King are ? I can't find them anywhere. I need to ask them some stuff." i asked
"Keith and Mr. Gryphon are on the bridge. Gryphon's keeping Keith company while he pilots the ship to the platform. And Mr. King is sleeping in his room." Cypher said
"Okay. Thanks Cypher, see you later babe." i thanked Cypher and then said to Shaundi before walking to my room.
Meanwhile...
Pierce's POV:
"Ow! Damn, that drop hurt!"
"Ugh, what's this slimey shit i'm covered in ?" i questioned out loud, bringing my hand to my face to wipe some of it off.
I tried standing up, only to slip on the slime covered floor and fall on my back. "Ah, damn."
"What crazy ass sorta room is this ?! One weird ass motherfucking room! That's for sure!" i said, looking up at the weird spinning pods in both directions.
"Damn, man. Are there people in all of these pods ? Or other alien species ? Shit, or both ?!" i wondered
I tried standing up again, but i felt extremelly dizzy. "Whoa, shit. I don't feel that good..."
The metal ground was fuckin' freezin! I wiped more slime outta my face and spat a little more out.
Eventually i pulled myself to my feet, i wiped more slime off my body and stumbled towards the door. Still feeling dizzy, and a little sick too.
"Fuck man! It don't feel right without a hat on my head."
I walked through the door.
"Haha! Well shit, ain't that just my luck, man!" i said, as i found my hat!
It was just lying there on the ground on it's top, right next to some crates, on the other side of the door.
I grabbed the side of it up off the ground, and placed it back on my head. I made sure it was sitting just right, before i started stumbling onwards.
"Attention. Attention all soldiers. Prisoner #7 - Pierce Washington - has escaped from his simulation containment pod. All soldiers on Sector 19 be on high alert. Capture or Kill the Prisoner!" The Zin on the loudspeaker announced
"Shit! Well, suppose it's time to get my ass the hell outta here!" i said as i started wandering the alien ship, looking for a weapon, and the Boss.
Back on the ship.
The Boss' POV:
I was down in the cargo bay. I had my weapons and i'd also grabbed Pierce's personal Mac-10.
This wasn't gonna be the usual "i get dropped off, grab friend, run back to ship" routine.
This time, me and Tobias were gonna get into the Saints Vulture and fly into the red spinney room containing Pierce's pod, and i'd grab Pierce and bring him to the chopper and the three of us would fly back to the ship.
Samson had gone back to hanging out with Will and Samantha
"Are you sure you wanna do it like this ?" Kinzie asked me
"Yeah, i'm sure Kinzie." i told her
"Besides, Tobias is the best pilot i've ever known." i said
"Well, that's awful nice to hear you say. Thank you, Boss." Tobias said, hearing my comment
"No problem, Tobias." i replied
"Okay, just...please be safe." Kinzie said
"Don't worry Kinzie, we'll be fine." i assured her, patting her shoulder.
Tobias got the Vulture started up and i hopped in the open side door.
"Alright. LET'S DO THIS!" Tobias yelled with excitement, putting on his trademark helmet
"Hahah! See youse later." I said saluting to the guys, as Tobias flew the Vulture outta the ship.
I grabbed an RPG from the arsenal of weapons in the small armoury in the back of the Vulture (Which had been installed in evey Saints chopper.), and shot down every UFO that came after us.
Eventually we found an broken open pod with slime footsteps leading through the nearby door.
"Yo Tobias. I'm gonna jump out here and go get Pierce. Keep yourself and the chopper safe. I'll get you on the comm when me and Pierce are heading back to you." i told Tobias
"You got it, Boss." he said
I jumped outta the chopper and began following the slime footsteps.
Pierce's POV:
I was wandering down a corridor, ready for anything, Alien pistol in hand. Which i'd obtained after i found and killed a few Zin troops.
Seemed like some sorta laser weapon to me. I wasn't feeling dizzy or sick anymore though atleast, the feeling had faded a couple minutes ago. I mean, cause i swear i almost hurled back there.
I entered some big ass room and i was checking a crate when all of a sudden, a group of Zin troops entered the room.
"Hey! It's the prisoner! Shoot him!" The leader of that group ordered.
"Oh Shit!" i yelled as i rolled over behind the crate for cover. But in doing so, i dropped my alien pistol and couldn't reach around the crate to get it back without being shot.
"Well this is just fuckin' great!" i said
The Boss's POV:
I followed the slime footprints, and some Zin's corpses to a room where countless Zin were shooting at a crate in the corner of that room.
"Dammit man, this just ain't fair. I don't even have a gun to fight y'all muthafuckas with!" i heard Pierce yell. Classic Pierce - moaning as always.
"Hi guys!" i said, as i whistled at the Zin, gaining their attention before i mowed them all down.
"Damn man, am i glad to see you Boss." Pierce said standing up from behind the crate and chuckling with relief.
"I'm glad to see that you're okay, Pierce. Oh, by the way, i think this is yours." i said offering Pierce his personal black, gold and purple Mac-10, which was also covered in Saints Flow designs.
"Oh man sweet, you got my gun, hah. Thanks Boss." Pierce said giving me dap
"C'mon buddy, we need to get back to your pod room. Tobias is gonna pick us up there."
"Okay good, let's go Boss." Pierce said
Pierce picked up his Alien pistol from my side of the crate and then we left the room
"Yo, Tobias. Pierce and i are heading back to you." i said over the comm
"Okay Boss, i'll get her started up." Tobias replied
Pierce and i fought our way back to the chopper.
Some Zin came up from behind us and in front of us.
"I got the back. You get the front." Pierce yelled, as he fired off both his alien pistol and his Mac-10 at the oncoming Zin.
Pierce slaughtered the Zin behind us with style, and after i killed the Zin in front of us we kept running.
Some more Zin showed up behind us.
I started shooting them, but more were appearing.
"PIERCE. GO! NOW! GET TO DA CHOPPA! GO!" i yelled at him
"Seriously ? You had to say it didn't ya ?" Pierce said chuckling again
"Yep. Now go get Tobias to take off and hover around. I'll get on board, don't worry."
Pierce's POV:
I sprinted through the door back to where my broken pod was, and found the Saints Vulture hidden down below the right side next to my pod, starting up.
I jumped over the railing and slid down to the Vulture and ran through the open side door.
"Yo Tobias dawg. Boss says to take off, but to hover next to the pod." i told him
"Okay, no problem. Hey Pierce, could you grab a RPG or something and make sure no UFO's ground us before the Boss even gets back on board." Tobias asked
"No problem." i said
I kept an eye out for UFO's while we waited on the Boss.
Eventually after a lot of shooting, there was a ceasefire and the door opened and the Boss came sprinting through, with his clothes covered in Zin blood.
He jumped on the barrier around the floor below the pod and jumped straight into the chopper.
"Yo Tobias, the Boss is in. Let's go." i yelled
"This is Captain T speaking, we are now ready to get the fuck outta here, so grab a RPG, and enjoy the flight." Tobias said over the comm.
Tobias took off. The Boss grabbed another RPG, and he and i put down every UFO that gave chase.
The Boss' POV:
"This is your captain speaking. Please prepare for landing." Tobias said as we landed back inside the ship.
The cargo bay door closed and the ship took off.
"Ah, good. Welcome back Pierce. Damn good work Tobias." i said to the guys
"Pierce, there's a shower upstairs. Go get yourself cleaned up. I gonna go look for a washing machine or something..." i said, still covering in Zin blood
"Wow, this place looks damn fine." Pierce said getting outta the chopper
"What's he mean by that ?" i wondered
I got outta the Vulture and found the reason why he said that.
The lights were no longer light blue. They were now purple, making this ship feel a lot more homey.
"Oh, about fuckin' time hahah!" i said pleased with the new look to the ship
Shaundi, Oleg and King appeared through the door below the stairs to greet Pierce back on board.
"Hey Pierce, it's good to have you back." Shaundi said walking over to Pierce smiling and hugging him, being alot more caring towards him than she usually is.
"Damn girl, it's good to be back." Pierce said hugging her back. Pierce and Shaundi were like brother and sister to each other. Fuck man, the Saints were all one big family, when you think about it.
"Hello, Pierce. Good to have you back on board. Would you care for a game of chess later ?" Oleg asked him with a smirk
"Hell yeah, you know it man. Great to be back. But ya need to try and not cheat this time, hahah." Pierce replied
Oleg smiled "I never cheat."
"Yeah, sure man. Sure, hahah." Pierce said
King walked up to Pierce and gave him dap.
"Good to have you back, son." King said
"It's good to be back, Ben." Pierce responded
Everyone went back to doing their own thing and Pierce went for a shower.
"Right, i should go find something to wash my clothes with, then i'll go find my brother and sister and relax in the simulation with them for a bit." i thought to myself
