*Duo-chan walks in the room and turns on the light* "Angel, what are you doing?"
*Angel-chan looks at Duo, then nervously smiles* "Just giving the disclaimer*
*Duo shakes his head* "Whatever… I give up!" *Walks out of room*
"Wait! Where are you going?!" *Light turns off* " It's dark in here!"
We were laughing at some joke like life would never end soon. We got about halfway to camp, when I stopped dead in my tracks. I smelled him, and heard his footsteps in the distance. I had memorized the sound of his steps because those were the ones that kept me running for three long years. Lita turned to me and started yelling to me. I couldn't hear her, because in my mind, the footsteps were becoming louder and louder.
Then suddenly, he appeared from the shadows, with an evil grin on his face. I stared into his cold, blue eyes.
"Well, well, well. Looky what I got here. I found my little runner. And what's this? A girlfriend? Well, I'll just have to kill you both!" The hitman laughed.
He blasted a huge yellow blast, and I took Lita's hand, and we ran into the forest. He kept blasting us while we were… Well, running. Then a thought struck me. He had to have a ship around here somewhere, so I ran around to the outside of the woods, and I saw it. It was damaged, probably from so many years of crashes. The hitman kept coming towards us and blasting away. Me and Lita ran around to the side of the ship and there I saw it. A little side ship that we could use to make a quick getaway.
We ran in, and I found the control panel. It was easy to decipher the code, and I punched in the coordinates that I wanted, and we were soon all for liftoff. Lita was sitting in the corner, bunched up like a ball, crying. I wondered what she was going on in her mind right now. She was probably scared and confused, and wondering what was going to happen next. But when I went over to her, and put my arms around her, she pulled away.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I don't know you! You are not the person that I thought you were. When were you planning to tell me that there was a man out there that wanted to kill you?!" Lita raged.
"Because no one was supposed to know my identity. I wanted to keep it secret, so I could be protected in every way. But I guess you might as well know the truth. It was three years ago when I was sent to the Planet X. There was a king there that wanted to speak to me about foreign relations since I was an officer. When I got there, a protest started, and the king was killed by a gang that was against him. I saw it all, and turned them in. When they escaped from prison, they decided to seek revenge, so they made an android and sent it after me. They called it Android 17. I have been searching for a weapon that would kill it, so I could stop running from him, but I haven't yet." I explained.
Lita stared at me, shocked. I guess she didn't know how to take it. Then, our ship was hit. The whole thing shook and shook, and warnings were ringing. I ran over to the control panel, and discovered that Android 17 had hit the engine, which meant we were about to crash. I looked at Lita, and suddenly, went over to the holding tank.
There I found a spacesuit, and I put it on quickly. I went back over to the control panel, and put on the rocket boosters to get us to our destination quicker. I went over to the main door, and stepped outside. I clung onto the side of the railing, and crawled over to the engine. I took a look at the damage, and it was repairable. But… Even if I repaired it, it could only make it to our destination without crashing and killing us, with lighter weight. So, someone would have to go…
