Chapter 12: The Showdown
"What are you two fools doing just standing there," Brother Blood asked as he walked in.
"Those two brats escaped as we entered the room. They couldn't have gotten far," replied J.T., throwing his voice.
"I'll check over by the escape pods. You two guard the doors," Blood commanded.
"Yes sir," J.T. replied.
Blood walked over to the escape pods. J.T. and Terra hid behind one of the pods, and as Blood drew close, Terra started getting nervous.
"Where are you two little brats?" Blood shouted.
"Right above you," J.T. exclaimed as he tried to slash Blood. Terra popped out from behind one of the pods and tried to stab Blood, but he back handspringed out of the way.
"Humph, I am mildly impressed. Forming such a cunning plan? I must say," Blood commented.
"I hit him high, you hit him low?" Terra asked.
"Good deal. Let's go," J.T. replied.
J.T. fired a stream of fire at Blood's legs and Terra launched some rocks at Blood's head. Terra connected about five times and J.T. scorched Blood badly. J.T. jumped up in the air over Blood and slashed him in the arm! Blood launched some blows at Terra, but Terra dodged them quickly (a useful attribute she learned from Slade). J.T. threw a punch at Blood, but Blood, being his usual self, grabbed Terra by the neck and jumped backwards.
"Attack me and she dies, my son!"
"J.T., forget about me, please! Beat this guy!"
"Doesn't look like I can have both," J.T. thought, until he remembered Terra's 'present' of sorts. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a rock! He tossed it at Blood's head, and Terra, thinking quickly, used her powers and made it hit Blood right between the eyes! He released Terra and J.T. went in for an attack. J.T. slashed Blood right across his right eye, just above his nose and across his left cheek!
"Rrrgh, you blasted piece of s#$! We shall meet again," Blood growled as he stumbled towards an escape pod. He flipped the switch on his controller and initiated the ship's self-destruct mechanism! "Or maybe we won't meet again! I'll see you in hell!"
Explosions started going off all over the ship and J.T. and Terra started fearing for their lives.
"What are we going to do?! We're gonna die," Terra screamed.
"Hold on, if we can get to the deck, we can make an escape," said J.T., shaking Terra by the shoulders and trying to calm her down. "Let's go!"
