Chapter 10
"Sure thing. I understand completely. You have my full co-operation friend." Randy said before he hung up the telephone.
*Back at Williams' place.*
"Ok, now that we have that taken care of, we need to prepare our AC's. Here's the strategy: We need to equip weapons specifically for capturing. We shouldn't have to damage the AC much, It's my creation and It's not at fault here. Once we get Grizzle back, I'll reprogram him." Williams said to Bruno.
"Sure thing Doc. I'll equip my custom made electrical net, It won't fry anything seriously, but it will drain his energy and shut down the generator." Bruno stated.
*In Grizzles Cockpit*
"Now, we need to think of a place to stay." I stated.
"Didn't Randy say we could stay at his place?" The kid asked.
"No. He didn't want to get caught or else he would be out of the arena. Being number one isn't an easy life." I said.
"Well.......I think we should just hide out. Find a really big cave or something." He said.
"Sure. Sounds good to me. Grizzle, scan for possible caves to hide in around the area." I ordered.
*Yes Daniel. Area Scan complete. 1 off to the west is only a few minutes away. Should I hide there?*
"Sure." I said.
"Man.......What am I going to do now? I have no place to go. Get a job somewhere?" The kid asked.
"Sure kid. But you will need an identity first. What name do you want?" I asked.
"Hmmm........I like Dominic." He said.
"Ok. Dominic it is. Where did you even hear of that name anyway?" I wondered.
"I heard it on a news channel one time. He was an awesome Raven from long ago." Dominic replied.
"Cool." I said.
*Destination acquired*
"Thanks Grizzle. We should wait out here for a while. Then Dominic and I will go scout around outside and see if we can find a town." I stated.
*There is a town about 4 miles away. If you want, I could print out a map for you.*
"Thanks Grizzle. Man, you got everything don't ya?" I said surprised.
Walking to the town wasn't as hard as I thought. Grizzles directions helped out a lot.
While strolling down the street, I noticed Randy had shown up. I rushed over to talk to him.
"Randy, I'm glad you could find me here. It's been a long time. But we don't have time for idle chat. Williams has gone mad! He kept me in a cell for 6 years! You have to help me out here." I pleaded.
"Sure thing man. It's no problem at all. Now that I've been number one in the arena for over 3 years now, I have gained a lot of respect. And I started my own clan!" Randy said excited.
"Cool! Can I join?" I asked.
"I'm not sure. I'd have to see you in action." Randy winked.
"Alright. I'll give you a demonstration sometime." I suggested.
"Anytime friend. Now, Do you have your AC hidden well?" Randy asked.
"Yeah, I found a huge cave to hide Grizzle in." I replied.
"Good. I talked with Williams and he's meeting me here." Randy started but I cut him off.
"No! You can't! He's wants to do tests on me more! I can't believe you called him!" I said as I ran away.
I found Dominic and he ran following me. I told him that Randy was a traitor and that we need to split fast!
As we got into Grizzles Cockpit, the com system turned on.
I heard Randy's voice.
"Daniel! It's ok!" He said.
"No it's not traitor!!! Doc's crazy you just pointed him towards us!" I yelled. "Grizzle! Over Boost away. I don't care where, just get us out of here!"
*Yes Daniel.*
Grizzle over boosted out of the cave, taking out some of the wall with him.
As we jetted away, an AC boosted right in front of us. Grizzle stopped fast in order to avoid collision. It was Bruno's AC. It had different weapons, but the same body parts.
We turned around to go the other direction and was stopped again by a different AC. This one didn't look like the Doc's AC though. Randy's voice came over the com system again.
"I told you. It's ok. I have everything under control."
Then the Doc's AC boosted next to his. I was trapped on three sides. I slowly back boosted Grizzle but I hit something hard. I looked around. It was a rock hard wall. Possibly the side of a mountain.
"Dang! No where to run!" I screamed.
"Where goners!" Dominic yelled.
As they all closed in, I started feel queasy. With every foot they closed in, I could see that cells darkness more and more clearly.
