Cool Kid Saves the Cats
Chapter 29: Dirty Dog Part 1
Cool Kid's body landed on the ground with a heavy thud. He groaned in pain as he placed his metallic hand over the new wounds on his chest. The beast had clawed him. Three large claw marks were made into his chest. All of the cuts were deep, blood was already rushing out of them. In a matter of seconds, his white t-shirt was stained with blood.
As he laid on the ground, the beast approached him. As the best stood over him, Cool Kid finally got a good look at him. His eyes widened in terror as he identified the beast: the infamous Dirty Dog. He had heard the rumors throughout the years, but never truly believed them. Until now.
For years, there had been nearly endless debate among politicians, the science community, and even society itself over what or who Cool Cat truly was. Many believed Cool Cat was some sort of extraterrestrial being, others believed he may have been some sort of god or demon sent to judge our sin. Some believe that he was a horrible yet beautiful result of extreme bestiality. And some, who were truly insane, believed him to be a man in a cat costume. While this debate still raged on for years, the government and scientific committee reached the conclusion that Cool Cat must have been the result of a science experiment: they believed he was a new being created by crossing man and feline.
Upon reaching this conclusion, some scientists decided they needed to control this new discovery. However, they knew they couldn't simply lock up Cool Cat, put him in a lab, and dissect him to discover everything they desired; the people adored Cool Cat, doing this would be a direct attack on the people. So instead, they resorted to something else; something equally abhorrent.
Under the jurisdiction of the United States Government and the United Nations, the "Cool Team" was created. Their main purpose was to create another being like their perception of Cool Cat. They decided to make this being a dog instead of a cat. Whether this was just some tasteless joke, or an attempt at making another being to one day battle and defeat Cool Cat is unknown.
Not much is known about the experiments beyond this. When Cool Kid was in the police force, he was only able to discover a few tidbits about the experiments. Almost everything in it was useless to him, except for one striking detail. They had finally given the test subject a name: Dirty Dog.
He had never seen Dirty Dog up close before, but Cool Kid knew it was Dirty Dog without a doubt. His scarred face, the blood all over his body, the eyes filled with anger, the green shirt that said "Dirty Dog". Everything about him told Cool Kid that this was indeed, Dirty Dog.
Before he thought of anything else, Cool Kid quickly jumped to his feet and backed away. He could tell hoe ferocious Dirty Dog was, he couldn't risk another scratch into his chest. He instinctively backed away, pulled out his pistols, and fired. He had had enough of playing around, he was going to fire his bullets directly into his enemies, he wasn't going to bother with small talk.
Unlike with M'Andrew, who dodged every bullet he could, every one of Cool Kid's shots hit their mark. There were bullet holes throughout Dirty Dog's chest and limbs. With a smirk Cool Kid released the magazines and slowly insert new ones. Unlike with M'Andrew he took his time, since he knew at least some of those bullets hit vital parts of Dirty Dog's body.
That was a huge mistake.
Dirty Dog rushed towards Cool Kid as he was reloading. His claws were out and aimed right for his throat. Cool Kid dodged underneath the attack and slid through Dirty Dog's legs before the attack could connect.
"W-what the hell!?" Cool Kid said in astonishment. There was no way Dirty Dog should be moving at all, let alone that fast. He was sure that his bullets had penetrated the heart, or at least the lungs. Yet, Dirty Dog seems completely unfazed. Dirty Dog turns around, growling ferociously. Cool Kid lifts up his guns and pulls the triggers.
But to no avail.
While dodging the attack, Cool Kid lost his two magazines. After hearing the click of the guns, Dirty Dog lets out a violent roar and sprints towards Cool Kid. Cool Kid, without thinking, quickly puts his guns back in their holsters and runs away. He can't fight back right now, He's just to fast for him. Dirty Dog keeps slashing at Cool Kid, but he's able to dodge all of them.
Until Dirty Dog aimed for his leg.
Dirty Dog's claws slashed at Cool Kid's left leg as he was running, and he fell to the ground. Dirty Dog jumped into the air, and descended upon Cool Kid like a missile sent by a predator drone. In a moment of quick thinking, Cool Kid moved to the left as quick as he could. Since they were on a hill, Cool Kid rolled down to safety from that attack as Dirty Dog's claws dug into the ground.
But Cool Kid knew this wouldn't be it. He had to think of something quick. By the time he was at the bottom of this hill, Dirty Dog would be right back on him again, and probably reach the bottom of the hill faster than him. Luckily, Cool Kid found his chance.
At the bottom of the hill, there was a road filled with drivers. Cool Kid used his metallic arm and smashed it into the ground to control his descent. As he rolled to the bottom of the hill, he smashed into the ground once again, sending him flying. He timed everything perfectly. He smashed right through the window of a car driving towards the city.
"Holy shit!" shouted the driver. He put on the breaks right as Cool Kid crashed in. "W...what the fuck!? What are you doing!?" Cool Kid got up, re-positioned himself, put on his seatbelt, and finally reloaded his guns.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll drive as fast as you can." The man looked at Cool Kid with a bewildering stare.
"Pffft, is that a threat, asshole?" The man said with a smirk.
"Not from me." Cool Kid points his thumb towards the window he came smashing through. "From him."
The man looks out the window and sees Dirty Dog, already almost entirely down the hill, running towards him.
"HOLY FU-" Before he could finish, Cool Kid shot at Dirty Dog.
"You drive, I shoot. Think you can do that?" Cool Kid says while firing. Without even responding, the man pushes down on the gas and drives away as fast as he can. The chase was on.
