Chapter 11
"Grizzle! Isn't there something you can do to get us out of here?" I asked in a panic.
*I see no possible solution to our current situation*
"Crap!" I exclaimed as I started to close my eyes.
I braced myself for impact and told Dominic to do the same. Then I felt a rumble, but nothing like I had expected. Curiosity took over and I opened my eyes. I couldn't believe it! Randy was attacking William's AC! And there where two other AC's attacking Bruno!
"What the hell?!" I exclaimed. By now, Dominic had opened his eyes as well and was jumping up and down.
Bruno tried to fire his electrical net onto Grizzle, but an AC knocked his arm upward shooting it high into the air. Doc also tried to fire at me, but his arm (along with his gun) was slashed off by Randy's Laser blade.
Realizing my chance, I got up and locked on to both AC's.
"Fire!" I yelled.
Grizzle then sent a missile flying into the air, which then split halfway and sent 2 smaller missiles flying toward Bruno and Doc. They all hit their targets smashing them both as the other AC's keep attacking. Randy spoke over the radio:
"I told you everything was alright." Randy said.
"But...how.......err......where......uuhh.....when..." I was speechless
"I told you about my clan. I know it's not much, but we are happy with smaller numbers." Randy replied.
"So this is your clan? Wow, I like these guys already!" I said as I boosted toward Doc's AC and double slashed him. "Take that you evil bastard!"
*In Doc's AC*
"Darn it Bruno! Where out numbered!" Williams exclaimed.
"Gee.........ya think?" Bruno replied half wittingly.
"Alright, back to the lab! I'll have to send out the drones. *sigh* Such a waste." Williams stated calmly.
Then Doc and Bruno both over boosted leaving a trail of dust and smoke behind them.
I got out of the Cockpit to greet my new saviors.
"Randy! I owe you big time! You guys fought like pro's!" I exclaimed.
"It's because we are pro's" Randy winked at me. "Oh! I almost forgot the introductions. Daniel, this is Dave and Ryan. Guys, this is Daniel, and I don't believe I've meet you friend here, Daniel." Randy wondered.
"Oh, right. Guys, this is Dominic. He was trapped with the Doc all of his life." I stated.
"Hi." Dominic said shyly.
"Hello." Randy, Ryan, and Dave all said at the same time.
"Well, we better get back to head quarters. That'll be the safest place for you to hide from the Doc." Randy Stated.
"You mean he's coming back? After getting his butt kicked?" I asked surprised.
"Of course he will." Dave said.
"He will be after you until he gets his prized AC back from you." Ryan stated as if to finish Dave's sentence for him.
We all got back in our AC's and boosted toward Texas. It wasn't that far away, But I was so tired that I slept for the whole trip.
Upon reaching the destination, I woke up. Dominic was, again, jumping up and down.
"What is it?" I asked Dominic.
"Look at those weird things!! What are they?" Dominic asked excitedly.
"Those? Oh, those are cows. Don't be freaked out, they are raised for milk and hamburgers." I stated.
"Hamburgers?" Dominic asked.
"You haven't even had a hamburger? Man, I need to take you out on the town."
We arrived at the HQ a little later and parked out AC's in the garage.
I parked mine in the Guest Garage.
"This place is nice." I said.
"Thanks" Randy replied, "I designed it myself."
Once I got inside I finally had a chance to show Dominic some real food.
"Here." I said as I handed him one of my homemade Cheeseburgers.
"So this is a cheeseburger?" Dominic asked as he took his first bit. "THAT'S GOOD STUFF!"
"It is, isn't it?" I said gloating. I knew my cooking was good, but not THAT good.
Just then I heard alarms going off.
"Not another attack......no.......Will it ever end?!" I exclaimed.
"It's ok Daniel." Randy said, " We don't even have to get into our AC's for this one. There are only a few MT's out there and our house defenses will take care of them."
"House defenses?" I asked.
"Yeah, I designed this house to be as safe as possible. It'll take much more then a couple of MT's to get through." Randy replied.
"How much more?" I asked.
"About 4 AC's more." Randy replied winking.
The alarms stopped. All was silent again.
*Williams place*
"Alright. Now that my prototype is finished, I think I will test it out." Williams said to Bruno.
"No no no, you aren't going to make ME get in that thing. I'm NOT taking on that whole clan by myself!" Bruno exclaimed.
"Relax Bruno. Unlike my past prototypes, this one is unmanned." Williams said re-assuring Bruno.
"Oh, is it AI, or remote controlled?" Bruno asked.
"Well, AI of course." Williams replied, "Grizzle was just the Beta Version."
