Chapter 29
"Who the fuck is following us?" Kyle screamed over the com link, the connection sounding fuzzy over the headset inside the helmet. His attitude reminded Fox of Falco and his loud mouth. It had to be something with ace pilots and their attitude.
"I don't know."
Kyle came back on to the comm.. "What do you mean you don't know? You wouldn't be running away if you didn't know! They only had two battleships the fuel-air bombs could have easily taken it out if we landed a good shot. I say we turn around and kick their ass."
"Kyle shut it and stay in line. You don't know what's back their, two battleships could easily turn into five in a few seconds, especially with pre-set coordinates." Fox felt his words hit hard. He was really tiring of people and their attitudes.
"You're right though, those battleships are probably going to be given orders to assist in the assault against the base, we're going to have to take them out soon. But not now, I want to lead them into the field, we'll have the asteroids to cover us, their anti-air cannons will have a hard to keeping up with us."
Jon cleared his throat, "So what do we do?"
Fox pushed bushed a button that his helmet pointed out and switched one of the screens on the HUD to show his arsenal. Four anti-air missiles, two guided bombs, two torpedos and a fuel-air missile. Probably enough to take out the two battleships like Kyle had said. But Fox had something else in mind. "Kyle, you said the ships had a cloaking field generator right?"
"Yeah, why?"
Fox coughed.
"Because we need to lose the guy following us."
"Kat, slow down. I need to rest." Krystal put her arm against the white tiled wall. She began to pant. It was hard on her, getting used to her new limbs. The metal rubbed against where it met her skin.
"Kat slowed down to return an answer. "Okay, okay, but not here. We need to get out of here before he finds us." They were both bare skinned and wet. The buildings temperature was near freezing, making physical conditions extremely hard.
"Who the hell are you talking about?" Kyrstal start panting, now finally resting her body.
"The hooded man that you saw. We need to get out of here before he finds us." Kat looked around for somewhere better to stop for a rest.
"I don't understand, who is he?"
"I don't know, but he's not normal." Kat walked over to crystal and got down to her at eye level, resting on one knee. "He can't find us, I don't know who, or what he is. But he will hurt you, and he will kill you. We need to get out of here." Kat stood back up and started to jog again.
Krystal gave a loud sigh and followed after her.
Okay, another one is up. Please comment, its my only real encouragement.
