Chapter 7

Jeff's Troubles

Jeff turned away after Dwayne and Krystle were out of sight. He turned to his lab. He shook his head.

"You took most of my body away from me, yet, I continue to rely on you." Jeff muttered. "But you also gave me this new body and it has saved me, and my partner, many a time."

Jeff wandered around the mechanical jungle. He let his mind wander back to two years ago.

He was working on the buggy. He was adding the weapons to it when a large, thin peice of steel fell from it, cutting off his arm, and half of his head.

Jeff's robot assistant, who was helping him, rushed over, and dragged Jeff to a table. The robot began to work on Jeff, and added the cyborg parts.

When Jeff woke up, he knew what had happened, just by the weird feeling he got.

"You..saved me?" Jeff asked.

"Yes." The robot answered. "I had to add robotic parts to save you."

Jeff shook his head at that thought. Then he remembered all the battles that he had won, and all the times he had saved his, and Dwayne's life, because of the new cyborg half to him.

He walked over and sat at a small table. He wondered what was going to happen now.

"Will they be okay?" Jeff asked himself. "Should I have gone with them?"

He wondered if he was really that scared that he had to stay behind, and risk losing his friend and partner.

"Crusader is powerul. He nearly overloaded my scanners." Jeff thought. "And Dwayne can't use his powers."

Suddenly, Jeff heard a loud crash outside. He ran out, closing the lab behind him.

"What the fuck was that?!" Jeff asked himself. He looked and saw orcs, throwing small explosives all over the place. When they saw Jeff, they readied their axes.

Jeff smirked. He knew that this wasn't going to be easy, but it would let him know if he could handle the Monsters without Dwayne.

"I've been given this body, and the great power behind it, to stop beasts like you." Jeff said. "I will not let you ruin my world anymore!"

The orcs started to calmly walk towards him. Jeff pointed his laser at one of them. He smirked as he fired a small laser beam straight through the head of one. Blood squirted from both sides of the hole as it fell dead.

The orcs then rushed at Jeff. Jeff rushed at them as well. He managed to grab one, and use it as a shield against another orc's axe. The axe went right into the chest of the orc 'shield', slinging blood everywhere.

Jeff smirked, only seeing three more left. He grabbed the one who killed it's ally, and snapped it's neck in two.

The last two ran at Jeff. Jeff's arm opened up, forming a large gun type weapon.

"Time to see if my upgrades are worth the effort I put behind them." Jeff thought.

He fired many missles from it. They hit all over the places, causing large explosions with each one. When all the smoke cleared, he saw the body parts to the last two orcs.

"Well, that was just too easy." Jeff said.

He opened the lab, walked into it, then closed it behind him.

"Dwayne, you'd better come back. If they keep this up, I'll be way too fucking tired for this anymore, and will have to quit." Jeff thought.

Jeff sat at the largest computer and uploaded a tracker on the buggy. He saw that they were still in town. Jeff wondered if they were okay.

"They should be a few miles south. They're on their way north west. Why?" Jeff thought.

Jeff decided to scan the area in which they were headed. He noticed a large group of monsters.

"Must be a friend of his in trouble or something. But how does he know?" Jeff asked himself.
