Chapter 21
HOK...
Jessica: RZ? Are you in?
Jessica walks in only to see the AI off line. It was then she saw the red dots on the map along with the dots that showed the Guardians. Jessica eyes widen.
Las Vegas...
Pillage and Ish watched as the twisted Raider ran to them before lunging. Ish was ready to fight when-
SLAP!
Ish cringed at that as Pillage's hand went across his twisted form's face hard. It stopped and staried at him, shocked that the Raider reacted like that. Ish stared in amazement.
Ish: Whoa...
Pillage went down to his twisted version who fell to it's knees, looking at it straight in the eyes.
Pillage: Endgame...I know what you were trying to do...DON'T you DARE bring him into this.
Ish was confused at first, but then it clicked in fast.
Ish: Al Davis.
Pillage: I bet you were expecting to try and use his death to your advantage, well guess what...Al Davis taught me to look out for folks who can do that. So, why don't you do me a favor and leave, or else I might help the team with groundbreaking the new stadium.
His twisted version looked up at him and narrowed.
Twisted Pillage *Endgame's Voice*: I might not have gotten you, but I have other plans for today...
With that the twisted version disappeared. Ish sighed in relief.
Ish: Gotta admit you scared me for a second there-
Pillage fell to his knees, tears pricked his eyes and he breathed to calm himself. Ish went down to help him.
Ish: Easy there...You going to be okay?
Pillage: I-I-I will be.
Ish gave him a small smile. Suddenly, both of them heard something...
GET OUT! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!
Ish and Pillage froze when they saw something flash in front of them.
Ish: Pillage, what was that?
Pillage: I-I-I think we should go check on Chief.
California...
Pick-Ax: DUCK!
The two ducked as Pick-Ax twisted version swung his weapon at them. Arron dodged as he landed back next to the Rusher.
Arron: He sure love swinging that thing.
Pick-Ax: He sure does. Got a idea.
Arron: I do, but i don't think you will like it.
Pick-Ax: What is it?
Arron looked back and forth at the open control panel, Pick-Ax wide at that.
Pick-Ax: You are not getting electrocute for this.
Arron: No no...lead it to the panel, let him swing and...
Pick Ax then smile.
Pick-Ax: Smart idea.
Pick Ax jumped behind his twisted from and hit it, causing it to scream.
Arron: HEY! OVER HERE!
Arron was in front of the panel waving his arms. The twisted Rusher took the bait and charged swinging, Arron jumped out of the way and the twisted Rusher's weapon hit it. Electric sparks went around the twisted version as it screamed.
Twisted Pick-Ax *Endgame's Voice*: DANG IT!
With that it dissapeared. Arron and Pick-Ax high fived.
Pick-Ax: Nice thinking Arron.
Arron: Thanks. Sorry about the panel.
They turned to see the panel now had a hole sparking a bit.
Pick-Ax: I have to admit, we might have to get a new one but it got the job done-
WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE!
HELP ME!
Arron and Pick-Ax froze when they heard the voices and saw someone getting hurt.
Arron: That-That sounded like Chief getting hurt.
Pick-Ax: We better check to see if he's okay.
Mile High Stadium...
Steed was writing on a clip board when he saw Hunter and surprisingly Chief walking up to him.
Steed: Glad to see you here Hunter, but what brings you here Chief.
Chief: T-Thought you might need an extra hand.
Both Hunter and Steed eye raised at that, but shoke it off.
Hunter: Everything all right.
Steed: Just checking the vault blueprints. I want to double check to see if there are any crack and weak spots. So far nothing-
He stopped when he got into defense position. Hunter and Chief jumped and turned to face Steed's twisted from. The twisted version of the Bronco was patched up with metal plates in places and one eye was red, it having instead oil falling from it.
Steed: Aw geez, why did she have to use that time.
Hunter: You mean when Sudden Death turn you-not gonna finish that.
Steed: Thank you.
Twisted Steed: NOT. HERE. .
Chief: Then who are you here for?
Washington...
Ash and Cyclops were searching the stadium for the Rusher. So far nothing.
Ash: He's not here.
Cyclops: This is bad, where is he?
Ish's voice: GUYS!
They turned to see Ish and Pillage running up to them.
Ash: What are you doing here?
Pillage: Looking for Chief, something is wrong.
Cyclops: Well we got some bad news, he's not here.
Arron voice: There's a reason
They turned to see Arron and Pick-Ax walking up to them. In Arron's hands was a paper, Pick-Ax face was full of both rage and sorrow. He handed them the paper and they looked...gasping in horror.
Ish: Where is he now!?
Ash: I'm contacting RZ!
Pillage: How though! Of all the times for the monthly upgrades!
Pick-Ax: I think i know where he might be!
Cyclops: But-do you know what this means...who those twisted versions are after next.
Everyone paled...
Chief paled as he starred at his twisted version which was brought forward by Cyclops's twisted version. While Cyclops twisted version was covered in thorny vines and cuts, his own version was beaten, bruised, scared and bleeding in some places. What was more frightening was who he was pointing too.
Twisted Chief: YOU...
