Chapter 23- Bodies (Dedicated to Dave Williams, the lead singer of Drowning Pool, who died in 2002...at least that's what i've heard)
"There she is!" The thugs spotted me! Before I could get up, they caught me and kept dragging me to the principal's office. "Let me go!" I screamed.
At the principal's office, Lizzie, Amber, Elsie, and Alice were all in there, each held in gunpoint. They looked at me smiling at first, then mouthed, 'we tried.'
I mouthed to them, 'I called him. He's on his way.' The gang (except Lizzie) was each confused, and their moods raised even higher. They don't know if I was just telling the truth, or I've gone crazy. Lizzie grinned wide like a 5-year-old who just brought her favorite toy.
"Sir, we have a problem." One of the tall white thugs said in his 'walkie talkie'.
"I'll be over there." The walkie talkie responded.
I raised my brow. Is that their leader? Maybe...
The cops were outside, trying to make a big decision: do what they ask or offer some sacrifices? Those criminals they locked up were so hard to find, and they can't just let them go off doing whatever they want.
"Lieutenant Brown, should we call the SWAT?" Officer Bricken say.
The lieutenant sighed. "Yes, we have a crisis on our han---"
BOOM. BOOM. Sounds like an existing T-rex were heard. It came from the neighborhoods. The cops were shocked.
"What the Hell?!"
"What was that!"
Brown turned to the direction from which he first heard it.
BOOM. BOOM. There it goes again.
They didn't know where it came from but...
SWOOSH!
Something jumped fast, and it jumped from a nearby building to the top of the school. They couldn't see the figure, it moved so fast or their eyesight were slow.
"What was that?!" one of the officers said again.
Brown watched nervously at the top of the building, unsure of what to do. Then, a dark figure was seen, wearing a brown trenchcoat and metallic snake-like monsters came from behind him. Remember the feeling you had when you watched 'Signs' and you first saw the alien? That's the unsure feeling this cop felt.
"Jesus..." Bricken muttered, "It's the devil himself...!"
"F-fire!" Brown screamed to his squadrons after hearing that remark, "Fire, dammit, FIRE!"
They did what they were told. They started shooting, unsure what it is, but the figure pulled back deep through the school roof. And there goes the sounds again:
BOOM. BOOM.
"Sir..." Bricken said to the lieutenant, "do you know what the hell that was?"
"I don't know," he said, "but I have a strange feeling he came here for a reason." They're in for a big surprise...
"Okay, what was the problem?" Boss said, coming in the principal's office. The thugs pointed at me.
"These kids are a whole lot of damn trouble than they're worth," the big thug said, "they're really tricky."
"Really?" The Boss wore a trenchcoat and a robber mask. Hmm, picky. He looks like a normal robber, but something tells me he's different. He looks like he would kill me any second.
Oh god, I hope Otto would come here any second!
"Say kid," he said, "why won't you join us then we'll play if fair. No blood bath or nuthn'. Your friends'll be untouched."
I blinked, "You know, that sound stupid," I said to him sarcastically.
"Oh really?" he said. He took off his mask. Appears to be about in the 20s, he wore a nose-ring and has flamey and spikey hair with a bright yellow color. And he has cold black eyes. His hair was familiar...where do I remember?
Lizzie seem to know as well. "You killed Uncle Ben!" she pointed out.
Oh yeah! Now I remember! He's the first guy that Spiderman ever chased after a criminal!
"Who's uncle Ben?" said the guy (I'm going to call him Bob...'guy' and 'boss' is killing me)
"Um, r-remember that old guy you killed before hi-jacking an old car?" I said.
"How did you know that?" He asked. "I thought that was a dream!"
"Um..."
BOOM. BOOM. Then it started. That same 'incident', with the dinosaur sound effects.
Lizzie and I grinned childishly at our stunned friends and gave them a told-you-so look. They each flinched, not believing that they heard the familiar thunderous noise that they heard from the movie. Exactly from the movie.
Otto is coming. A little risky for attention though, but we'll need him real bad...
Let the bodies hit the floor...
Let the bodies hit the floor...
Let the bodies hit the floor...
Somewhere in through the school, in a corridor with about three different windows each on each side of the wall, about three different thugs held their rifles and eyed the ceiling. The whole school heard those thunderous noise, but they have no idea...
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!!
...that the owner of that noise made a grand entrance through those windows.
It happened. Well, Chaos was what happened. You know, the usual, when there was lots of screaming and yelling and gunshots and blood and all kinds of mess? You get my drift.
If you didn't get the drift, then I guess you could picture that there was glass everywhere by those corridor windows, and two different mechanical robotic tentacles burst in and immediately killed the two of the three thugs by grabbing their necks and snapping it? The idea creeps you out eh? That's what I call bloody—and that's not the end of it!
The thugs started all the shootin' and they didn't know what to shoot at. They had bad aiming, because the first two tentacles, as known as Dally and Gammy, were unaffected.
Then the core of those tentacles just came in.
Beaten why for!
Can't take much more!
And Otto was not happy. You can't really see those evil brown eyes behind his favorite shades, but you can see those mean scowls made from his eyebrows. Albany and Beck moved really fast and blocked most of the bullets. Otto, or rather Ock, wasn't uneffected. Dally and Gammy raced up and kept beating up the close by thugs, either fatally wounding them or killing them. Both tentacles either used their blade to stab or just pushed them aside.
When they used the blade, blood spat out and painted all over the hallway and either tentacle.
Now, if you didn't get my second drift, maybe you should think about it and read again.
1-- nothing's wrong with me
2-- nothing's wrong with me
3-- nothing's wrong with me
4-- nothing's wrong with me!!
Otto kept walking slowly, peering through each classroom, looking for me. Most of the kids were scared, but some thought they just saw their angel or even Jesus, though Otto looked nothing like Christ. "Where's Crystal!" he kept asking them. They shugged, even the teachers.
1-- something's got to give
2-- something's got to give
3-- something's got to give now!!
When Otto got tired of asking the same questions, he kept yelling at each thug before hurting them, "Where's the girl?!"
They didn't answer. Otto was really furious, he doesn't know where his fan is. He doesn't know where his friends are. He became even more furious, not caring about anything until he finds a particular tomboyish 14-year-old who called him to come here.
A white thug came by. Dally went up and stabbed him through the eye, blood spitting everywhere.
A black thug came by. Beck went up and lifted him and threw him towards a locker, the guy making a dent on the locker.
A Hispanic thug came by. Gammy zoomed through and in a way, slapped him in the face.
A Chinese-like thug came by. Albany wrapped around him and smashed him to the wall.
Ock didn't care if these men are fatally injured or dead, but he never allows anyone to hold a school captive and held advantage over the young and innocent, especially a child that cares about him and is a fan of him.
Ock doesn't even care if he's committing sin as murder. He wants to see Lizzie and I safe, unharmed, untouched. He has lost things that mean a lot to him, and his faithful fans and this world are all that he has left.
Let the bodies hit the floor!
Let the bodies hit the floor!
Let the bodies hit the flllooorrr!!!!
1 dead.
2 dead.
3 down.
4 down.
6 more coming in.
One by one, Ock kills or injures all the masked criminals, walking through the middle school.
Where could Crystal be! He thought fiercely.
Think pops, do you think Crystal must've fought her way to use a phone? Beck said, before stabbing another man.
Wait! Remember in the caller ID, there was a name "Elsie"? Albany said. Crystal must've used a cell phone. If she used a school phone, it would've said the school's name.
Yes! I'm getting what you're saying! Gammy, you're in charged with looking for an open locker. Ock thought to Gamma.
Yes daddy.
Let the bodies hit the floor!
Let the bodies hit the floor!
Let the bodies hit the floor!
"Crystal! Crystal Hollis!" Ock kept yelling out. More thugs ran shooting, but in the end, dead.
He kept yelling out my name, and he doesn't get a response.
He kept walking through, reading the signs in the wall where the 8th grade hallway.
What if she's caught? Albany replied. Do you think she's in the main office or something?
Ock tried hard not to think about that. He continues to look for the open locker and yell out my name.
"Crystal!"
He passed through the computer lab I was in. My social studies teacher, who was still in there heard him call my name. Ms. H immediately answered Ock's cries. "She's in the main office!"
"In the office?" Ock asked, zooming up to her. He immediately knew her as a teacher rather than threat.
Ha ha, told you so father. Alpha said.
None of this is funny. She could be hurt. Ock thought back.
"Where's the office?" Ock asked, desperate. Ms. H was nervous, and couldn't find the words to give him directions.
"Here, homey," a Mexican 8th grader inside the computer lab said, giving Otto the fire alarm map was taken from the wall, "You're here. That's the office. Can you read it?"
Ock didn't bother to answer. He stared running, having Beck read and giving him instructions.
To your right, pops! Now your left! Over there! No, the other way! Now to the left! No, the other left!
What do you mean 'the other left'! Otto snapped. I have left, you have left1 I have right, you have right!
Over there! Is that the office? I think it is!
Otto ran up the door way where Beck pointed to.
But the entrance marked "GYM".
"Gym?!"
Oops...you had it upside down pops...
Ock growled in frustration and depended on Albany this time.
Ok father...over there!
Ock started running and listening to Alpha's instructions, as more thugs came his way starting a bad shooting spree. Ock sighed. Time to be bloody again.
Push...me again!
This...is the end!
Sounds of explosions and gunshots were heard all across the school. Even it was heard in the from office. The thugs panicked, they never expected this. More and more started leaving the office to help the others.
Bob looked to his second in command. "What did these kids do?!"
"This girl was probably the cause of it. She ran to a locker and got a cell phone out."
"Who do you think she called?" the thug shrugged.
Bob got even more pissed. Two more thugs ran in.
"Sir, as stupid as it sounds, Doctor Octopus is on the loose! It's a massacre I tell ya, a bloody hood's massacre!"
Bob gritted his teeth. Just what he needs. A stupid fictional character to ruin everything. Now his friends aren't going to be free...
"Joe," Bob pointed to his second in command, "go get the rocket launchers and help them out for god's sakes!"
"Yes sir!" he ran off carrying a heavy gun. A rocket launcher. The same kind seen in army games...
I gasped. Otto is really going to get hurt!
"You two, get these girls and tie 'em up," he said to the two thugs, "except her."
We didn't go quietly. We kept screaming and yelling, and trying to grab hold of each other, not to part. Bob slapped my head.
"Okay, you bitch," he said, dragging me away. He's leading me to the 7th grade hallways.
"Let me go, you sonuvabitch!" I kept screaming.
"Who did you f-ing call huh?"
"Your mama!" I screamed. I spat at him and bit his hand. He screamed in pain and let go of me. I started running.
"Come back here!" He ran after me...
...but I turned a corner and bumped into someone else.
Skin against skin and
blood and bone!
It was a guy with funny looking blue eyes and stout chin. He had brown dark hair that lit through the light, and I couldn't see his face because he unblinded the window beside him, and the sun directly blinded me. He wore a black suit with black boots.
Even though I couldn't see him clearly, I can recognize his voice anywhere.
"Bob, you're pathetic. You can't handle Spiderman, that I can take, but you can't handle a little girl?" he said. His voice is so familiar...but how did he get here?
"Sorry sir."
"Don't screw this up, and I'll have your head. Understood?"
I gaped as Bob grabbed me. But I could hear the metallic footsteps of Otto Octavius a couple of classrooms away.
"OTTO!" I screamed.
"Don't mess this up Bob!" the guy said. He escaped out the window that blinded me.
"Yes sir!"
You're all by yourself but you're not alone
you wanted in and now you're here
Ock reached the main office. Nothing but weak secretaries and stupid principals. Damn, either they lied, or they moved somewhere else?
"OTTO!" Crystal?
"Coming!" Ock started running, following the sound.
Father! Look out! What is that?!
More thugs came by. One of this is holding a...large gun...
"Oh shit..." cursed Otto as 'Joe' lifted the heavy weapon and one of the thugs loaded it with a rocket.
Some kids are peeking through the window and all Otto worries about are their safety. Something's going to explode...
"Hit the deck!" He screamed and told them to duck tornado-warning style.
A rocket was launched and it headed straight for Otto!
Oh gods, is it the end?
Pops! Your spider-sense is tingling!
I'm not Spiderman you idiot!
Remember what you read in the comics of how Goblin died!
He dodged under and the rocket flew continuously, crashing and making an explosion in the boys bathroom.
Good thing that isn't a boy's classroom. He thought. Too late to think now, another rocket was being loaded.
You wanted in and now you're here
driven by hate and consumed by fear!
Otto sent Gammy up ahead as he ran to the thugs, and had her kill Joe right there in the spot before he pulls the trigger. Gunshots were fired, but they were blocked by the speed-as-sound force fields made by Beck and Albany. Dally and Gammy each took their guns away.
When they were weaponless, they turned to hand-to-hand combat, and some of them started yelling out karate cries. Before they fought, Otto smiled and turned to karate position.
"I know kung-fu," Otto smiled, saying a quote from The Matrix.
Then the thugs saw the tentacles hovering over air, and they immediately chickened out, running to the outside (and got caught by the cops). They can't fight hand-to-hand with a guy with 4 metal arms that took away their guns, and they don't want to die an idiot's death.
Otto smirked and dusted his hands. All in a day's work...but still one more thing.
He turned around to find me.
to be continued...
Next: I promise not to kill again
Thanks for reviewing! oh yeah:
Anonymous-cat: 3/4 of the school knows I love Otto and 2/4 knows about this website. What if they find out about this fic? they'll probably come whining to me and say "who did you kill?" so, you got me? Though, I have to agree, it'll be more interesting,,,
