As Beautiful As You Want To

Chapter Six
Harrison's escape was another lucky one. He was swimming near the coast, but not close enough for anyone to see him. That's when he felt it. His energy, his pride and joy that only he had the courage to express was leaving his body. Every stroke that he had to make began to hurt. Keeping his head above water began to be more and more difficult. As the waves began to crash into each other harder and faster, Harrison had little defense. Now he knew that he had to get back to shore. With every foot he got nearer to short it all began to fade. He was just letting the tide carry him hoping that it would carry him back to shore. Before he was even two feet away from the sand, everything went black.
Bare feet approached the beached human body. A cold wet nose that began to lick at it followed them. "Einy. Why lick the bounty person?" asked Ed.
~*~*~*~*~
Spike and Faye were outnumbered in weaponry. The words "shoot them" convinced them that they were already dead.
At that moment (and call it perfect timing), Jet began firing from his Hammerhead right above the crowd. He only needed to fire warning shots to cause all of Glampers' troops to run. "Spike! Faye! Get outta here!" Jet yelled down to them.
"Don't shoot my ship!!!!!!!!" Spike responded back.
Jet's distraction allowed the two to flee to their ships. But Glampers' troops got back in order as she screamed orders to shoot them all down!
As the ships were trying to get away from the chaos…
"Spike?" asked Faye on her intercom. "Did you say that I wa-"
"Faye, I highly doubt this is the time nor the place!" As Spike was telling Faye this, he could feel that something hit the Swordfish II by the sudden jerks that the ship began to make.
"MY BABY!" Spike cried out. "That does it!" Spike swerved his ship to the shock of both Jet and Faye. It was mostly for vengeance. He was gonna charge his baby straight for Glampers. And even Glampers was shocked.
After making Glampers dive for cover, Spike was happy to finally see fear in her when he came at her. As fast as he could Spike had to get up and away. He got back with the Hammerhead and the Redtail, and after trailing behind them for a while Spike looked down to see Ed waving up at them right next to what looked like Harrison. "Guess we land here."
When they landed Jet looks at Harrison's beached and unconscious body. "It looks like he's dead," says Jet. "So, is that a good thing?" asked Spike pulling out a cig.
"For me it is!"
Everyone turns around. That Glampers had a fast ship and it didn't take her long to catch up. The surprising thing was that she was alone.
"I'm not leaving until I have everyone of your corpses on my ship! I'll think I'll get yours first." The gun was pointed at Spike. "Well see who makes more sense when this is all over."
Glampers didn't have a chance to pull the trigger. She called out an enormous cry of pain. She looked down to notice the sharp knife blade that stabbed her left ankle. But not her attacker, Harrison. She turned around and fell into the water. It was high tide. In the water the partially conscious Harrison swam over to stab her in the back. Had it not been for the bleeding pain and the fact that was wearing weighed-down handicaps Glampers would've made it back shore.
…but the swifting tide had done its work. Glampers sunk to the bottom. Harrison used what he could to get back to shore where the Bebop foursome was watching the acting with jaws dropped. Harrison's energy and consciousness gave in, and so he decided to do the same. His work was done. He looked back at the Bebop, the strangest supporters of his cause that he ever had, and descended below the ocean waves.
Doing battle scenes are the most difficult, cuz you know what you want to happen at the end, but you got to get your readers their first. I'll be writing one more chapter for this story.
