Chapter 17
"Ok, so are we going to do anything or what?" I asked anyone who was listening.
"Not really, just relax, you're safe here. We'll hide out till we think of an attack plan. We aren't in a hurry." Randy said.
"Well......all right......" I said as I sat reading my magazine.
*Three hours later*
"Man, I'm tired......" I said as I put down the magazine, "I'm going to bed."
*The next morning*
"Hey, I'm going to make my rounds and check for anything unusual." Randy said.
"Ok, just give me 5 more minutes...." I said in a sleepy mumble.
As Randy was about to start his rounds, he noticed an AC off in the distance. He approached it and saw that it's weapons where drawn. He tried to tell them that he would not harm them but he got no answer back so he opened fire. As he neared the target he saw that it was just one of those new MT's that looked similar to an AC.
"Oh well." Randy said as he turned to go back to base.
When he turned around he saw an AC right in front of him.
"WHAT THE?!?!" Randy exclaimed.
It was that odd AC they had seen before.
"I am Scavenger" It said with a cold and mechanical voice.
"Ok......." Randy said as he drew out his Laser blade.
"Do not attempt to attack. I am only looking for Grizzle." It said with the same monotone voice.
"Forget you!!" Randy said as he swung his arm around and slashed for the AC's head.
The AC ducked his swing and countered with a swing of his own. Randy boosted backwards barely dodging it's fist.
After it's swing it pause for a second and asked "Please let me pass.". Randy said nothing. After that Scavenger activated it's laser blade and swung again causing a crescent moon shaped beam to flow out.
Randy turned and the beam nicked his core. Randy was mad now. He pulled out his machine gun and started firing rapidly. Flying upward and doing a flip, Scavenger landed behind Randy.
Turning and swinging his laser blade, Randy tried to catch it off guard, but Scavenger was ready and caught his arm in mid swing. Randy pointed his machine gun right at Scavengers core and blasted away.
Scavenger then back boosted and strafed to the right while firing it's rockets. Randy boosted away, trying to dodge them the best he could, but nothing was working! Every shot hit it's mark. Randy flew high in the air and locked on with his missiles.
1.....2............5..........................12............................20.
He patiently locked on as many as possible and fired away. A rain of missiles fell down onto Scavenger, some hitting, some missing. But it wasn't going to be enough. Scavenger flew up toward him and fired rockets all the way up.
Randy fired more Machine gun blasts and hit Scavenger with all he had left. Pulling out his laser blade, Randy was willing to go down with a fight. Scavenger pulled out it's laser blade and swung. So did Randy. Their blades met and clashed against one another.
Pure energy crackled as the two struggled against each other. Scavenger kicked Randy's AC's leg out from under him, flipping him upside-down, and sending him spiraling out of control toward the ground. As Randy spun helplessly toward his earthy grave, he saw his life flash before his eyes.
Then he saw that he was right side up and could boost to safety. This did not happen by accident.
As he set back on the ground he turned to see who his savior was.
It was an AC. But no AC he knew of. It had reverse joint legs and did not have his clans emblem. The words "Bird of Prey" where the only visible markings.
