Chapter 8. One by one
"One Week" Barenakid Ladies
With Corn's death and continuous siege on Tokyo by all sorts, it was becoming harder for the rudies to get around. Yoyo, Soda, Grave, and Jack were always gone, leaving the others to wonder what they were up to,
The night was constantly a racket; it's peace constantly broken by gunfire, yells from mobs, and the ever-increasing fires that plagued the city.
It was truly hell as Grave and Jack skated through the un-resting city. Jack had to constantly dodge fires and glass that was thrown by some homeless peds. Things on the streets were getting worse, and Grave and Jack were still looking for the two last members of their gang.
"Jack," said Grave, looking over his shoulder at the skating rudie. "We need to split up. We have to find Bis and Potts before sundown!" he yelled over the roar of a fire they skated past
Jack almost fell over from a metaphoric anvil hitting his head.
"Potts is a the GGs garage! He's acting as Yoyo's dog!" he yelled back, still skating awkwardly.
Grave skated on, motioning that Jack was to retrieve Potts and bring him to Highway Zero with the rest.
Grave skated towards The Skyscraper District, going to look for Bis, who was reportedly seen there. Bis had more endurance that anyone he ever knew, and when the gang split up, he had gone to the Immortals, and had since lost contact with Grave and the others.
Grave entered the district, listening to his music, and jumping on the closest rail. He skated along, not at all bothered of the green glow coming from that rail, but he was bothered when he came to the pyramid right in the front of the park.
Grave jumped getting ready to land on the top of the pyramid, but bailed at the last second, seeing a body placed on the pyramid. He landed and rolled, his guns scraping the floor as he turned.
He got up, a sharp pain in his side, and walked over to the pyramid. He brought the body down. It was an Immortal. He grabbed the bandage at the side of his face and started to unwrap. He un-bandaged the immortal and gasped. It was Bis with a completely blank look on his face.
He was dead; a hole implanted in his chest and a bullet even further inside. His sword lay at his side. Grave didn't waste anytime in retreating to Highway Zero, jumping from rail to rail to get to his base and warn the others.
Grave burst through the door to look into the face of the other 5 members of his shadow gang. Jack was sitting in his chair, his leg bandaged up and in a splint. Potts stood by the door, just standing. Acid was still partly in his poison jam outfit, just no mask.
He looked around to see the other two members. One was a Noise Tank named Hardrive. He was in the corner hacking what looked like an online bank. The second one was a Love Shocker, her new outfit danced in the draft from the door. Her hair was down, and the red and black colors of her flame outfit were cool.
Her name was Rei. She turned as he entered; a look of pure softness switched from her normal persona.
"Grave!" she squealed, an announcement to the rest he was back.
She ran over to greet him. She jumped into his arms, squeezing him with all her strength. Soon she pulled back noticing that he did not return the hug and that his face was set in an exasperated look.
"What's wrong Grave?" she asked, her hand touching the side of his cheek.
"Bis..." he said, bowing his head slightly.
Everyone took the push, realizing what he meant. They bowed their heads in silent morn. Then Grave looked up and addressed them.
"Now we cannot morn the death of Bis. We need to come up with a plan to figure out who is doing this, and how we can stop him."
"And get our revenge for both Corn and Bis." Said Acid, his voice sharp and precise, not a normal Poison Jam trait.
"Yes, we need to get whoever did this now!" Yelled Jack, his mood already soured by Corn's death and this just added to it.
"Yes. Let's set something up. I think I know a way to get this guy. Come on!"
Everyone followed Grave out the door, skating across the rooftops, and heading to the Terminal. ---
Across town, two rudies stood back to back, sirens blazing around them. Soda and Yoyo were up against the R. Police; their faces set in smiles as they faced the police.
The first few R. Police jumped forward, going for Yoyo. Yoyo reacted quickly, grabbing the arm of the first one and twisting, throwing the officer into a cruiser.
The next two tackled him, but Yoyo was already in the air. He jumped over the first one, smashing his face into the wall behind him. Then straight punching the second one, making him fall flat down unconscious.
Yoyo jumped away, landing out of the circle tackling a horrified Hayashi, grinding his back down the hill they were on. Soda stood still for a second before he jumped into a soldier, slamming him into the ground.
He dropped kicked the next one, sending him to the ground. He turned around, punching the next one in the gut, making the officer double up, then threw him into a group of officers that were converging together on him.
Yoyo rolled of Hayashi, jumping to his feet as fast as he could, looking into the red eyes of Hayashi. Hayashi stared back at him for a second, then pulled out his pistol.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!" he laughed. Just as he brought his pistol to Yoyo's unmoving head, a yell came from above as Boogie and Garem jumped over Hayashi's head, knocking him over.
"Hope were not late," Garem said, picking up Yoyo and grinning. He turned Soda who had finished off the police and was skating toward them. Boogie was picking up Hayashi's pistol.
"This thing has no use now." She said smashing the metal object into the ground, breaking the pistol.
She looked up in time to see the red dot one her head. She gasped and rolled out of the way just in time for the bullet to graze the cement where she had been.
"Run," shouted Garem, a look of horror on his face.
The four skated, jumping from pole to pole to pole, making sure the red dot of the sniper never touched any of them. ---
Ian aimed down, his rifle trained in Garem. He followed them until they got close enough. Then, he fired hitting Garem in the midsection. Ian smiled knowing he got this one.
Ian jumped up and turned running into Hayashi.
"Did you get them?" he growled, rubbing the lump on the side of his head.
Ian looked up for a second. Then replied putting his head down "Yes. I will only kill one more, but after that I'm done. You tell me otherwise and I'll." he said pushing up a knife, jabbing Hayashi in the ribs, not stabbing him just getting the point across.
"Fine." Said Hayashi's high-pitched voice. He turned around not saying anything else and went to his cruiser.
Ian looked down on the surrounding area, then left himself, cursing under his breath. ---
The cries of pain from Garem were evident from outside the garage as the rudies brought him to it.
Beat, acting as leader for the time being, jumped up from couch then helped put Garem into it. Garem laid there, the wound in his stomach bleeding out.
Yoyo and Beat were close, watching as gum and jazz tried to fix up Garem. They turned around and shook their heads. Garem was going to die and he knew it.
Yoyo went down to a knee at Garem's side.
"D-d-dude," Garem sputtered coughing as well, some blood coming form his mouth.
"I saw the sniper." Surprised by this Yoyo asked Soda to hand him a piece of paper. Garem was a food artist and he thought he might be able to draw the sniper.
Garem grabbed the paper and a pencil and drew the face, which was easily looking like a person. As he finished up his head rolled and he was gone. Yoyo looked at the paper and got up just as Grave and Jack came in.
"Grave, Jack, go find the Breakers. We are going to get the bitch who killed Garem and Corn." He said looking at the picture. Grave looked startled, but he set his face back to his normal look and skated out of the Garage, heading towards Shibuya Terminal.
"Now let's hope we can stop him." said Jack, punching his fist into his palm.
Grave was silent though. He didn't admit it out loud, but the sniper looked exactly like Bis. Grave thought back at his nickname "Ian". He wondered if this sniper was his old friend, and if he even remembers him.
The two skated away, leaving the garage behind. Down in the sewers, though, Acid and the rest of the gang were putting together a cache of weapons, hoping this would be enough to stop the sniper and the rest of the rebels and Rhinos.
They didn't know how things would happen and the battle ahead, and they just continued their work, not knowing a Zero Beat was watching them from a little camera. Things were going to happen, and nobody knew how serious this battle would be.
