Dark Angel
Dark Times Episode 3: Ritchie is Found
LAST EPISODE: Kris's past is revealed to Max and Logan.
Kris joined Max and Logan. That night Max took her motorcycle out for a joy ride with Kris. They stop at a restaurant and sit outside and have a late night meal. They sat outside and ate.
"People don't know what they are missing at night while they are sleeping away." Exclaimed Kris.
"Yeah night is the best part of the day." agreed Max. "More to do."
"My half brother, Jeff and my surrogate mother is going to be in this week." Kris announced. "Maybe you can find out what Mental Hospital Lydecker locked up your surrogate mother in."
Then a motorcyclist with flames on his helmet stopped in front of them. Both Max and Kris knew who it was.
"Hi Zack." said Kris. "Long time no see."
Zack didn't look happy to see them. "Max, Kris." he shouted. "Lydecker's goons are coming. Get out of here. Split up."
Then he rebed up his motorcycle and sped off. Kris and Max quickly got up and ran to their motorcycles. They both put on their helmets and get on their motorcycles and sped off.
They look back and they see four people on motorcycles with the Manticore logo on it followed by an army truck. Kris breaks off from beside Max and disappeared into the alley. Two of the Manticore motorcycles followed her.
Max turned into a different alley and quickly turned into an empty warehouse. The other two motorcyclists speed by.
In the alley, Kris didn't see the one of the motorcycles disappear into the other alley. She was focused with getting away from them. Ahead of her was the other motorcycle, blocking her way out. The second was blocking her other way out. She quickly stopped. She was trapped.
The two people jump off their motorcycles and grab Kris. She sees someone walking down the alley. It was Lydecker.
Max managed to get away from the Manticore goons but she couldn't find Kris anywhere. That morning Kris never showed up at Jam Pony X-Press.
"Where is Kris?" complained Normal. "I have a package for her to deliver."
She left went down to her apartment. In front of the apartment was Zack.
"Don't even try, Max." he said as Max showed up. "Kris isn't here."
"Where is she?" Max asked. "Did she--?"
Zack sighed. "Lydecker's got her. I found her motorcycle in the impound lot. They said an army solder dropped it off."
"I going to go to Logan." replied Max. "He will help us track her down."
"Kris is a good girl." agreed Zack for the first time. "In training she refused to fight. She believed fighting solved nothing. She doesn't deserve to be used by Manticore. I will try to look for her myself."
Kris woke up on a cold metal table. Her wrists and ankles were locked to the table with metal rings. She couldn't move. Lydecker strode in with two men and two women.
"Welcome 671000158902." sneered Lydecker. "Or is it Kristine Colum, now."
"What do you want with me?" asked Kris fearfully.
"To take you back to where you and the others belong." answered Lydecker. "But first I want some information. You know the location of two more prototypes."
"I don't know what you are talking about." snapped Kris.
Lydecker turns on the television in the room and puts on a disc. On the television was showing a recording from a Police Hoverdrone. It showed she and Max talking and Zack showing up moments later.
"Now, will you talk?" remarked Lydecker.
"I will never talk."
Max, Logan, and Sebastian were looking at copies of Hoverdrone video of the area Kris and Max were in that night of Kris' disappearance. Logan's police ally brought them in. They found the video.
The video showed Kris getting surrounded by the two Manticore motorcyclists. Lydecker came founded by the other two motorcyclists. Kris was held down and stunned. Then the bikers took of their helmets. All four of them had barcodes on back of their necks.
"Oh no." whispered Max. "Lydecker is using the ones who choose not to escape to track down the others."
"Fighting fire with fire." agreed Logan. T
Then he noticed something on their foreheads. He zoomed in.
"They have control implants in them." Sebastian told them.
"What's that?" asked Max.
"It's in a implant placed in the brain used to control criminals." explained Sebastian. "Or gangsters to control their customers."
"Lydecker must be using them my siblings stay loyal to him." suggested Logan.
"I better try to find Zack and warn him." said Max.
"We will try to find where Kris is being held."
Kris was put in a cell. In other cells were other people with barcodes. When Lydecker left Kris heard several beeping noises.
"Dam these implants." shouted one of them.
Kris looked out her cell to see if recognized anyone. In the cell across from her was a man with short curly brown hair sitting facing the wall of the cell. His serial number was 451209648618. That was Ritchie's number.
"Ritchie?" she whispered uncertainly.
The man turned around shocked. "Loner?"
Loner was Ritchie's nickname from her. Kris nodded. Ritchie smiled.
"It's Kris now." said Kris.
Like Zack, Ritchie was a born leader. Ritchie was one of the oldest of the Prototypes. He was four years older than Kris. Ritchie saved Kris' life during an underwater training exercise. They were best friends ever since.
"I never thought I would see you again." Ritchie said happily. "They said you were dead."
"Well I'm not as you can see." said Kris. "I thought you escaped because I couldn't see you."
"I didn't mange to make it too far." answered Ritchie. "Once I jumped the fence, a seizure hit. The Tryptophan I had fell out of my pocket and was on the side of the fence. The guard stunned me and brought me back into the lab."
Kris noticed a bump in the corner of Ritchie's forehead. "What that in your head?"
Ritchie sighed sadly. "An implant. It was put in me a couple years ago. It doesn't work anymore. It used to keep me from escaping. When it was fully activated, it made me do whatever Lydecker tells me like a puppet. I couldn't control it. One day it just stopped working. I have been acting like it was still in me ever since. An implant will be put in your head soon.
"How do you know?"
"I overhear them say to get another implant ready." answered Ritchie.
Then a door opened. Lydecker and some guards strode into the prison room. Everyone in the cell stood in front of the cell except for Kris.
"I need some people to track down two of your 'siblings' in Seattle." sneered Lydecker. "Any volunteers?"
Ritchie jumped at the chance, he volunteered. Two others volunteered as well. Their implants were activated except for Ritchie's (of course his doesn't work). Ritchie acted like it was still working.
The other two was Marc and Walker. Marc was one of Lydecker's favourites. He had black hair and he is big in size. Walker had brown hair and he was a few inches smaller than Marc. All of them were wearing army clothing.
The three were taken out of the room and shown the video with Max and Zack. Then they were taken outside and into an army truck.
Suddenly, Ritchie broke from the line the group. He takes one of the motorcycles.
"Stop him." yelled Lydecker.
Ritchie started up the motorcycle and begins to speed away. The guard and the other prototypes begin shot at Ritchie to stop him. It was too late. Ritchie escapes.
