Chapter 12
*At the clans HQ*
I couldn't believe how much Dominic was eating. He consumed everything that was on a plate and put in front of him.
"Jeezz......eat much?" I asked Dominic.
"Well, all I've had to eat for 16 years was Macaroni and Cheese with nothing but water to wash it down." Dominic replied.
"Oh man, that's right. I had to eat the same thing for 6 years myself. I had almost forgotten what pizza tasted like........Hey, Can I have some of that?" I asked.
"Sure, go ahead man. I'm full." Dominic replied.
Randy walked into the room. He must have just woken up cause he was walking wobbly.
"Good morning guys." Randy said.
"Good morning. Did we wake you up?" I asked.
"No, I always get up at 5 in the morning." Randy said sarcastically.
"Sorry man, Dominic got the late night munchies and then I got hungry from watching him eat." I said apologizing.
"It's ok man. I've been having trouble sleeping lately. These weird recurring dreams keep waking me up." Randy said.
"Oh? What are they about?" Dominic asked.
"Well, I start out in my kitchen, and I'm eating. I don't see a clock, but I get the feeling that it's mid afternoon. You know, when you dream, and you feel things. You can't find anything around you to prove your right, but you know that you are right."
"Yeah, I've had that happen before" I interrupted. "Sorry, go ahead."
"Any way, I'm in my kitchen, eating, and I hear this whirring sound. But I don't think anything of it at first. Then it gets louder. I get up, go straight to my living room window and see an AC towering over my house. I'm freaked out, but yet I feel strangely excited to see it, like it's mine or something, but it's not mine.
Come to think of it, it looks a lot like you AC, Daniel." Randy stated.
"Mine? Weird......." I said.
"Yeah. Well, After I see this AC, I see another one step up from behind it. It's smaller and thinner then the first, but looks oddly similar." Randy continued, "I tried to get in the first, but it wouldn't let me, then I tried the second and was welcomed with open arms.
After that we are attacked from behind and we both attack our unseen enemy."
"What happens after that?" I asked.
"That's where it ends. We don't finish the battle. It always ends with me getting hit and waking up in a cold sweat." Randy said.
"Weird........" I said again.
*At Williams place*
"Bruno, are preparations complete?" Doc asked.
"Yeah Doc. Release the drones." Bruno commanded.
Just then, 20 some drones all crawled out of the walls of the enclosed arena. They all encircled the prototype AC and opened fire while still moving.
As the missiles closed in, the prototype just stood there. At the last second, it jumped high into the air. All of those missiles tried to compensate but it was unsuccessful.
They just curved into each other causing an explosion. Some shrapnel took out the 3 drones that where closest. The AC then dropped down in front of a group of 5 drones and sliced his laser blade from left to right, destroying every drone in it's path.
It then turn boosted, opened up the rocket launcher (hat was situated in the center of it's back), and fired a barrage of rockets toward any enemy with-in it's range (about 9). Perfect shots every time.
Then, bending down on one knee, it unloaded it's most bizarre looking weapon yet: The Wing machine gun.
It's looked like it's name implies: A set of metal wings that, instead of unfolding over the shoulder, they bent under the arms. From there, the AC's hands grip onto handles that where placed just short of the wings tips.
A barrel extended out from each wings tip and started firing round after round at the remaining 3 drones. This AC was truly a work of art.
"Test successful Doc. This AC is beautiful!" Bruno exclaimed.
"I know." Williams said bragging, "Now, send him on his first mission: To capture Grizzle, and destroy the escaped boy."
