Interference
Chapter Eight: Finish What You've Begun
Yes, it's a bit scattered. I was pressured to finish this fic. ^^;;; Enjoy.
José peered through the grate in which Cybersix and Data 7 were trapped. Well, well, two birds in the hand are worth one in the bush....Right? I guess you'll just have to watch me conquer Meridiana from there. And when we DO own the city... He paused. We'll set you two up in a nice cage out in public, with a nice big sign: You Can Thank THEM For The Conquest Of Meridiana!' Then we'll see who's laughing! He looked back at the Fixed Ideas. Laugh, you idiots!
Hesitant laughter filled the sewer.
He pointed at one of them. Guard them!
The Fixed Idea was apprehensive about the water, but José booted him in. Just do what I tell you! The child clone stomped off.
Cybersix exchanged glances with Data 7, and she quickly punched the Fixed Idea in the neck. Data 7 balanced on the metal bars of the grate and held the unconscious creation up by his shirt. Cybersix stood in the shadows behind them and began to force the bars of the grate open with all her strength...
Lucas leaned against the control panels, rubbing his eyes tiredly. Still no sign of Cybersix or José. What's keeping her? he muttered. She probably needs help right about now, and I'm stuck here keeping watch. Figures. Why can't I ever be there when the party starts? He glanced at his watch. 9:30. She's been gone way too long.
Cybersix slumped against the bars, weakened by the effort it had taken to bend open the grate. Data 7 looked at her sideways, still holding up the Fixed Idea. Sis? After a few moments, however, she was breathing normally. Let's go, she said lowly to her brother, and squirmed through the opening. Data 7 dropped the Fixed Idea, spat once, and followed her.
He leaped from the water, roaring madly, and savagely attacked the Fixed Ideas who were foolish enough to charge at him. The Types, who were slightly smarter, did their best to avoid the rabid panther. They, too, fell at his paws.
José was hiding behind the satellite dish, frantically opening the grates. He looked up in shock as a shadow fell over his face. Cybersix was standing on the top of the dish itself. he yelled, and pushed a button on the side of the dish. He then scrambled clumsily for the underground river and leaped in. Come on! he yelled to his followers, and was washed away downstream, followed by a crowd of shoving Fixed Ideas.
The tank was beginning to rumble, the satellite dish shaking precariously. Cybersix jumped down, took a glance at the button José had pushed, and ran for the exit. Data 7, it's going to self destruct! Let's go! She leaped into the stream of sewage and disappeared down the pipe.
Data 7 knocked out a final Fixed Idea with a swipe of his paw and picked up the vial of sustenance in his mouth. He looked around the shaky tank and dove after his sister. The explosion fell nearly at his tail, and the current carried him away.
Sis, you'd better not screw me over!
