Chapter 14
*Back at the battle scene*
"Doc, they got away." Bruno stated.
"Of course they did. He was using my creation after all." Williams replied, "Looks I will have to do a little tinkering."
*Detroit Michigan*
"So, you want me to upgrade all of your parts?" Vortex asked.
"Yeah, I know these are custom parts and all, but you must be able to do something to make them better." Randy explained.
"Yeah, I'll figure something out, just give me sometime." Vortex replied.
"Thank you Vortex, you don't know how much this means to us." I said.
"Yeah, well, as long as you pay me, I owe you nothin." Vortex said.
"WHAT?" Randy said shocked and pointed to the sign above Vortex's head, "I thought you did upgrades for free on the first visit!?"
"Oh man.....I meant to take that down." Vortex replied, "That was just a marketing ploy to get my shop some attention. If I kept that promise up, I would loose business."
"Oh?..well, I guess it's no big deal. I'll scrap up the money and hand it in by the time your done." I said.
"No, it's a huge deal. If anyone's payin, it's going to be me." Randy said, "Remember, I'm the one who's number one in the arena. I got loads of money."
"Hey, can we go see a movie? I want to know what the big deal is." Dominic asked.
"Oh, yeah......you've never seen a movie before, have you? Ok, sure. Randy, you and Dave want to join us?" I asked.
"Sure thing. It's been a while since I've been to the movies." Randy replied.
We, then, went to the movies and came back 3 hours later.
"Man, that was a long movie." I said.
"Yeah, But it was worth it to see that ship sink!" Randy said.
"Yeah, man I hated that actor, what was his name?" Dominic asked.
"Leonardo DeCaprio." I replied.
"Yeah, that guy sucked hard core." Dave replied.
We walked in the store.
"Hey Tex, are the parts done yet?" Randy asked.
"Yes, and don't call me 'Tex'" Vortex said annoyed.
"Man, for the money I'm payin you, I should be able to call you whatever I want." Randy replied.
"So what all did you do to the parts?" I asked.
"Well, I expanded the holding chambers for all of the parts that need ammo. This allows more room for extra ammo. I tightened the gear ratios and oiled them up. This should increase reload times. I also increased the number of ports in the missile launcher allowing you to fire more than one multi-missile at once."
"Awesome! Anything else?" I asked.
"Well, I increased the energy supply in you arms causing your Laser blades to be able to cause more damage. I also went ahead I upgraded the boosters for ya. I was able to increase the performance with out increasing the energy consumption."
"Cool! Thanks Tex!" I said excited.
"So it's ready then?" Randy asked.
"Yeah??? Oh! I almost forgot to tell ya: I found an interesting feature in Grizzle that didn't have an activation button. So I went ahead and put one in for ya. Man, it was tough though!"
"What is it?" Dave asked.
"It doesn't have a name, I'm not even sure what it does, but I think it will come in handy when you get into a jam." Vortex said.
"Alright, thanks man. We'll see ya later, ok?" Randy said as we all left the shop in our AC's.
Traveling to the Doc's HQ was nerve racking. We all decided that we would attack him first, but not before we called up the whole clan for help.
