Chapter 4; to the sky's

5:00pm, Board Meting room

            "Why are we in this room Dr.Aki?" Erika asked

"Because it's the only room with a TV" He replied "and there's something I want you to see" Dr.Aki then went over to the wide screen TV and started fiddling with the remote, trying to tune it in. every one then sat around the table, Dr.Aki was trying to find the right channel when the news flicked on, many people had gathered on the new looking up wards at the sky as we watched on the reporter said that a transport jet had been taken hostage.

"Reports have been made that one hostage will be shot every two hours if the trans port jet is not guaranteed safe passage to Gatwick air port in London" the reporter said

"That's awful, who would do such a thing?" Brass said

"The cargo is fore experimental Medabots, from the Medabot Head Quarters in down town Riverview" the reporter carried on "The plain has only just taken off from the main air port and is still visible"

"Oh no, this could be bad" Dr.Aki said

"What do you mean doc?" Metabee said

"Well the Medabots on that plain were new army equipment, in the wrong hand's they can be very destructive"  

"What can we do?" Ikki asked

"Nothing, ther…" Jordan cut off Dr.Aki

"But if they're still visible then Archon here could stop them"

"I could give it a go, although I've never stopped a plain before" Archon said

"WHAT!" Metabee Shouted, "How can you stop a plain!!?"

"Very simply, I'll show you" Archon then out stretched his arms and it looked like he was concentrating hard, and then all of a sudden the chairs in the room started to

shake, every one jumped off them as they started to lift off the floor.

"What's going on?" Brass said

"I think that's Archons work" I said, I was very surprised I never knew that he could do this but then again I never knew I had bio-metal so there's a lot I don't know. When Archon had finished his little demonstration we all rushed down and out of the building to see if we could catch the plain, it had vanished from sight.

"If we lose that plain all of us could be in big trouble" Dr.Aki shouted

"What if we try and follow it?" Ikki said

"Good idea, the Chinook the company owns has a stealth module" Dr.Aki replied, Dr.Aki lead us all back up to the roof of the building, where waiting was a black Chinook chopper with the Medabot logo printed on the side, Dr.Aki ran ahead to tell the pilot to start it up, every body piled in. At the time I had suppressed my fear of flying to be of any help. As the noise from the chopper blades became louder so did my fear come forwards then the chopper started to lift its self off the roof and hover before confirmation of its destination.

11:00pm, on rout to the cargo plain

            After about six hours we finally had the cargo plain in sight. Every one was dead tired and Jordan was asleep.

"Wait a minuet if the hijackers realize that the plain is losing altitude because Archon is pulling it down then won't that count as no safe passage and they'll… shoot… every… one?" Metabee asked

"Err… I didn't think of that," Ikki said

"Ok new plan" Dr.Aki said then continued after every one had settled "There's a hatch on the top of the cargo plain used to perform matinence tasks, if Metabee, Brass, Archon and Deacon can get to it and get in side then they may be able to stop the hijackers and restore the plain"

"One problem doc where do we know where that hatch is?" Metabee said

"You'll find it, it's clearly marked out"

"Dr.Aki we have arrived at the target" the pilot said

"Good, now get going" Dr.Aki said as he opened the side door

"Be careful Brass" Erika said

"You two Metabee" Ikki said

"Dude you know I will" Metabee said as he went over to the door and jumped out with Bass and landed on the top of the plain, Archon followed closely. When They had jumped out I walked up to the ledge and looked down and jumped. After I had got up I realized that the plain hull was covered in a thin ice layer this made it hard for us to get a grip and the speed that the plain was moving made it even harder, we also had to shout to hear each other over wind rushing past.

"Where's the panel?!" I shouted

"I don't know!" Metabee said, he then asked Ikki through his medawatch "Ikki said that Dr.Aki said it's near the rudder!"

 "What all the way down there!" Brass said as she pointed down the plain

"Why do I get the felling this is not a good idea?!" Archon shouted over the wind, he then turned around and started off down the plain; Metabee and Brass followed him,

As I was about to take a step the plain started to jolt and bump about, this made me lose balance on the thin ice entirely, because my fingers were more pointed at the end than another Medabots I sank them in to the plains hull to stop me from falling off whereas Metabee and Brass had managed to keep balance some how, they had noticed that I was missing so they looked over the edges, I felt my self slipping down the side of the plain ever so gradually, as I looked up I saw ten long cuts in the plain this was where I had tried to stop my self, then I looked down I couldn't see any thing just white clouds.

"Deacon don't look down!" Metabee shouted, "Kirsty told me you were scared of

flying, why didn't you say any thing before hand?!"

"I don't know… I… I just!" I couldn't say any thing more

"Come on try and clime back up!" Metabee shouted as he reached his hand out to me, as I took my hand out of the plain it started to shake and bump about again, this time I managed to hold on but Metabee fell straight over the edge.

"Metabee!" I shouted as I let go and followed him, I soon caught up with him so I grabbed his shoulder part, as we fell past the Chinook that had brought us up to the plain and the Chinook that had left because the atmosphere was to thin that the plain ascended to, Ikki, Erika, Kirsty, Jordan and Dr.Aki noticed us because they all shouted down Ikki's medawatch.

"HEY ONE AT A TIME!!" Metabee shouted back "What are we going to do?!!"

"I don't know!!" At this point we had both reached clouds, then I noticed something that wasn't on my vision sensor before, the numbers on it were moving fast down wards I remember seeing one of these in the cockpit the number on that one was steady unlike this one which was going crazy. Then I realized it was an altimeter.

"Come on think of something!!" Metabee shouted

"I know… flap your arms and see if it works!!" I said back

"How can you joke at this time!!?"

"Deacon what are those Mark's on your back they look like rectangles with one long groove?"

"I don't know, they've always been there!!" After that we both saw a large projectile flying at us so we dogged it, then we turned to see where it went, it hadn't gone anywhere it turned back to wars us, I managed to get a good look at it, it looked like Bio-metal I couldn't believe it, so I didn't I continued to doge and it continued to come at us. "What is that thing!!" I shouted as Metabee grabbed on to me.

As I saw it was coming back for us faster than before, " One, two, three!" I pushed Metabee out of the way as we entered a large cloud, as we came out of the cloud I could hear Metabee shouting over the wind.

"Wake up, this is no time to sleep!!" I could also feel him shaking me but I couldn't see him, say any thing back or move "Come on, don't do this to me!!" Metabee shouted as he tried to wake me "Look I don't know what happened in that cloud that made you go off line but please wake up!!" I felt Metabee's anxiety and I think that's what brought me back.

"Wh… what happed!?" I managed to say

"You were… unconscious or something!!" As he said that I looked at the coast that was below us and saw that we were drawing ever closer to it, that's when I remembered that Dr.Aki said Bio-metal can be made in to all sorts of things even wings.

"Metabee hold on round my neck!!"

"Why?!"

"Trust me!!" I said as Metabee did exactly as I had said

"Ok what ever your plan was now would be a good time to do it!!" At that moment I let out a defining roar, it was like something took over and forced me to do it against my own will, Metabee must have been aw struck at both parts, the second part being that the roar had turned on small nannies or something technical like that, in my body the nannies shocked the Bio-metal forcing it out of the rectangles on my back to form the long bone looking wings. "WHAT!! HOW DID YOU DO THAT!!!?"

"Well considering I've never done this before, I could do with some help here!!"

"Opening them up would be a good start!!"

"I was getting to that!!" I said as I opened them up, all of a sudden I could feel what way the air currents were flowing and the air rushing past them.

"Ok good… now fly!!!" As soon as Metabee said that I angled my wings parallel with the ground to slow our decent.

"Metabee I'm not fast enough to catch us back up to the plain, we'll have to land some where else" we could stop shouting at each other now. "Tell Ikki well be at…"

"His house, he'll be able to find us then" Metabee suggested, I nodded in reply then Metabee started to explain to Ikki what happened and where well be, Ikki also told Metabee that every thing is fine and the plain was recovered.

"So where it his house from here" I asked, Metabee took a look a round

"Err… I don't know we're to far a way from the town"

"Look for the chopper, I can follow it then" I told Metabee

"I don't see it" Metabee said as he took a second look around

"Well let's see, if I land we can check where we are then we can ask what direction Riverview is in" I flew close along the tree tops as it was a forested area it was faster than walking. "Look out for any road signs"

"You can't be serious, out here? And at night?" Metabee said in a sarcastic voice

"Wait a minuet is that a motorway?" Metabee said as he pointed towards it, I couldn't

 see any indication of a motor way at all

"Where I don't see any thing," I said as I banked in that direction

"Look, over there" Metabee said as he pointed again, this time I saw what he was talking about, car head lights, several flashes blinked in the distance only for a split second.

"Ah, well lets check it out" I said as I flapped my wings to gain speed, occasionally I would hear a faint clatter of the chopper and get Metabee to have a look for it but every time he did nothing was seen. When we were over the motorway we looked around for any sines, we couldn't see any so we followed the long stretch of lamp lit road and sure enough we came to a sine.

Next exit to Rockwell (A61)

San Francisco (M70) 50miles

"Rockwell, San Francisco, I've never heard of those places before" Metabee said

"Well we'll find out where Rockwell is" I said as I turned in that direction, we carried on down the road until we came to a gas station half way between the Rockwell and where we had previously started from, cars were pulling in and out of the station so we could ask any one but it felt safer to ask the store attendant. It was hard to land as there was no room at the gas station because of the roof over the top so I had to land over the other side of the road, even then I had to flap fast just to keep from dropping to fast.

"I hate flying," I said as my feet parts touched the ground at the same time as Metabee's

"But you just saved our hides!" Metabee said as he let go from around my neck.

"Yeah well you would have been toast if I hadn't came after you"

"Thanks… why did you come after me, you were gripping on to the side of that plain like nothing I'd ever seen, you even pierced the hull!" Metabee said as he grabbed my hand and looked at it "No wonder you pierced the hull, your hands are more like talons than hands!" I turned around and looked out across the field.

"Metabee, do you know what it's like, not knowing any thing about your self" I said as I looked down at the grass.

"Not really, but there's nothing much to know about me anyway"

"Well I hardly know any thing about my self, it's hard to do any thing if you don't even have enough confidence in your self… like me"

"If you didn't have that confidence to come after me, I wouldn't be here right now" Metabee said in a sympathetic way. "Come on do you ever want to get back, or what?"

"Yeah lets go," I said as we crossed the road, on several occasions cars coming from both directions would take little notice of Metabee and me, they would slam there brakes on, sound the horn of the car and some times shout "Move it you stupid Medabots!" I wouldn't take it as being yelled at and carried on walking for the gas station but Metabee would all was shout back "Why don't you watch where your going then!!" Some times Metabee got so fed up with them he would try and fight them, so I ended up pulling him away from the cars.

"Metabee calm down" I said as I let go of him

"Calm down! Every one tells me calm down! They don't even have any respect for us and your telling me to calm down!" Metabee said in a blinding fury

"Metabee, Two wrongs don't make a right"

"Say wha?"

"If someone does you wrong, then having your revenge will not make things right" I said

"Where did you get that from?"

"I read a lot of books"

"You read… books?"

"Not like there's any thing else to do when Kirsty goes to school," I said as we entered the gas station shop, "Hey look, there's a map" I whispered because of all the looks we were getting off people, pinned up on the wall was a map of the area, we looked for Rockwell on the map this was right at the top so it was hard to Metabee and me to see it but we made out it was near the coast.  "Wait a minuet, didn't we cross the sea when going after the plain?"

"I think so but what's that, got to do… oh man, you don't think do you"

"I do… when we went after the plain it was just off the east coast of Japan, when we caught up to it was half way out at sea and when we fell of it was on the west coast of, America" I explained

"Great, so how do we get back and stop these people from staring at us?" Metabee said in his usual sarcastic way.

"Well… maybe we could ask for some change at the counter to phone some one"

"Ok lets try that" Metabee said as he walked over to the counter, I followed him making sure not to nock any thing over because of my wing parts. "Excuse me but could…" Metabee was cut off but the person behind the counter.

"Get out…" He said

"What, why should we?!" Metabee said in such a way that it made the person behind the desk drop his clipboard.

"You don't know why do you? Well of course you wouldn't know" He said, Metabee and I both took a step backwards in doing so I bumped in to a man; from what I could tell he was intentionally blocking the way.

"You're not welcome here and that's that!" The man behind us shouted

"Metabee, I think we should get out of here, like now," I whispered

"Good idea, lets go" Metabee said, as we ran out of the store I could here people yelling 'stop them! Someone call the police!'
