Chapter 5; Run
11:55pm, America, Rockwell, Gas station
"This way, quickly!" Metabee shouted as he ran down a small hill in to a cornfield. I followed very closely, as did all the people from the gas station. The corn was high enough to hide us from view but the tops of my wings were to large to hide, with the cover of the night it would still have been a hard job finding us. After going half way in to the field they eventually gave up looking for us.
"Metabee, don't you think it was weird that there were no other Medabots in the shop"
"No, I wasn't paying attention to that" Metabee said as he spun round to look back at the gas station "Oh no, look! It's the cops"
"What, where?" I looked over my shoulder and saw lots of red and blue flashing lights. "Well they weren't kidding when they said they'd call the police" at this point we both saw cops coming down the hill and in to the field, shining flash lights all over the place.
"Get down if they see your wings were both caught" Metabee whispered, when he said this I knelt so the cornfield would hide the tops of my wings.
"Now what?" I whispered back, just then we must have both heard the clattering of a helicopter because we both looked up, we couldn't see it yet but it was getting closer.
"Do you think, that could be the guys?" Metabee said out loud
"Ssshhh, do you want them to hear you? I think it might be the guys as well" As all the dust and dead leaves flew about every where from the helicopters down draft and a white blinding light lit up a whole patch five feet away from us, I realized it wasn't the same chopper, it was a police chopper and it was looking for us.
"Deacon we have to move now"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know… umm, maybe fly us out!" Metabee shouted as he flapped his arms.
The chopper focused it's light on the patch where it heard the sound come from, it was the same patch were we were, all the police on the ground converged were the light was pointing.
"Metabee…" I said as a sigh and stood up. As the police swarmed round, they pointed their guns at us and instructed us to raze our hands, there was no other choice but to do as they said, Metabee and me razed our hands at the same time.
"Do something," Metabee said
"Like what?" I said back
"Think of something, you've got the smarts!" Metabee said as he flapped his hands, I thought the police would have seen this but obviously not, he made the signal to fly us out of here, I don't know how I picked that up out of the hand flapping but I did.
"Ok…" I said as I nodded
One of the police came up to us and said "You have the right to remain silent" like one of the officers out of a movie. After he had finished I counted to three and then opened my wings fast so it sent two officers each side of me flying.
"Metabee come on!" I shouted to Metabee over the clattering of the chopper
"FREZE!!" Most of the cops shouted at us as we ran back to the gas station.
"Nice going but what now Deacon?"
"Well if we can get some distance from those creeps then I might be able to take off" I said as I folded my wings back in so they wouldn't get damaged. As we ran back through the gas station and past the parked police cars, people in there cars would screech to a stop to avoid hitting us, as we passed the road next to the gas station and entered the forest, it became hard to see where we were going and occasionally Metabee would trip up then I would trip over him it was that dark. Looking back in the direction we came from I could see flash lights through the trees, after a little while they gave up looking for us, so we stopped to.
"Hey wait a minuet, Metabee did you tell Ikki that we would be back at his house?" I said as I sat down on a fallen tree.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Metabee aid as he sat next to me. "Oh I know, if he realizes that were not there, then he'll come looking for us… but won't that mean he's in Japan and we're over here"
"That's no good, if he thinks were over missing over there, they'll look for us over there!" I then jumped off the fallen tree and lay on the ground next to it looking up through the trees at the stars.
9:12am, a forest
After sleeping for the rest of the night, I woke to the sound of rain, I sat up and looked around, the forest looked completely different in the daytime, Metabee was sleeping on the fallen tree, I got up and sat down back next to him on the log and stretched one of my wings over him and the other over my self to keep us out of the rain. Metabee would occasionally mumble a few things then turn over at one point he rolled over to far and fell of the log but he kept on snoring. "Wake up Metabee" I said as I shook him
"Wha… wha? All right, I'm up!" He said as I was still shaking him.
"We'd better move, before the police come looking for us," I said
"Aww five more minuets?" Metabee said as he lay back down, I then tipped the water that had collected on my wings on to him to say 'get up now you lazy so and so!'
"Hay what was that for?!" A dripping wet Metabee yelled
"To get you moving…" I grabbed Metabee's hand and pulled him up to his feet "Now move it" I then pushed Metabee in the direction I thought would be best to go in, Metabee resisted for a short time but gave up.
"If you wanted me to go this way you could of just asked" Metabee said to annoy me
"Anyway if you so keen on getting out of here why don't you fly us out?"
"Well genius… if you haven't noticed there isn't the room," I said pointing up wards
"What do you mean?"
"If I was to take off here, where would I go Metabee?"
"Any body knows that… up"
"Look again… the tree tops and branches are in the way, until I can find a clearing, we're walking" I said as I gave him a small slap on the back
"But that could take hours until we find a space" Metabee moaned
"Stop whining" We walked on until we did eventually come to a clearing.
"Ok so maybe I thought it would take some time but any way lets go" Metabee said as he walked out in to the middle of the clearing, with out warning the same helicopter from last night flew over the empty space in the woods
.
"Metabee get outa there!" I shouted from the edge of the clearing, Metabee hesitated for a moment then ran back to where I was standing, after waiting for a short time for the sound to completely disappear we moved in to the space. "Why didn't it stop?"
"I don't know maybe they weren't looking for us" Metabee shrugged "Well anyway what about getting us outa here?"
"But what if they're just waiting for us to make a move?"
"Well what if there not?" Metabee said, I then Walked out in to the middle of the clearing and stretched my wings, took a couple of practice flaps, told Metabee to get on then took to the sky. "See they weren't setting a trap were they?"
I then flew to wards the gas station then to the motorway and started followed it to San Francisco. The rain was still beating down hard on us; the nose from the cars and rain was enough to hide the continual clatter of the police helicopter before it was too late.
"What's that sound?" Metabee looks behind us because of the sound "COME ON GO FASTER!!"
"What, why?" I said as I stopped
"NO DON'T STOP!!" Metabee yelled as he thrashed his legs around, I then turned to face the way Metabee had been looking in, the chopper was speeding to wars us and there was no way it was going to slow down.
"So he wants to play chicken dose he?" I said maliciously
"NO HE DOSE NOT, NOW WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!" Metabee had no choice but to come along for the ride, I flapped frantically to gain enough speed I saw a man lean out of the side holding a pistol, when we were just about to hit the helicopter I dived down and went under the helicopter, the police man that had lent out of the door started firing but all of his shots missed except one which went strait through the bone looking stuff on my right wing and in to my shoulder part, white hot searing pain shot through my arm and wing, this brought us down out of the sky and down on to the motor way because I took my mind off flying, cars and trucks swerved out of the way. Metabee had to pull me to the side of the road; it was that pain full I couldn't move. The helicopter moved on when it couldn't find us.
"Deacon are you ok?!" Metabee shouted
"M-Medabots.. Aren't supposed to be h-hit by real bullets… more like art…ificial ones," I spluttered as I held the wound.
"What… you're BLEEDING!!?" Metabee shouted in amazement, I then looked down at my shoulder, a silver liquid was running down my arm and on to the ground and was washed away by the rain, the pain was still present I felt like I was about to pass out.
"It r-really…" I tried to say hurts but I think Metabee knew what I was going to say
"Hurts? What you're telling me you can feel pain?" Metabee said as he knelt next to me. One car screeched to a stop then pulled over to the hard-shoulder and put his hazard lights on, to my surprise the person who got out of the car was a good friend of Kirsty and me.
"J-Josh…"
"Deacon, What happened?" Josh asked
"She was hit by a bullet," Metabee explained
"We have to get her to my house before it's to late"
"W… what do y-you mean… to late?" I struggled to say
"When I moved over here I did some extensive research on that sample I got off you three years ago, remember when you chipped that peace of armour off you're cap"
"Yeah…"
"Well if we don't remove that you could lose most of that living metal, you can only heal if the thing that caused the wound is removed, it can't heal over it"
"Do you think you can walk?" Metabee asked
"I'll t-try…" I tried to pull my self to my feet but every time I moved it made the pain worse, in the end they had to help get me up and in the car.
