REVIEWERS- I am pleased to announce that my long run of having the most reviews with only one reviewer is now over.
YFWE- You may be spared after all
AMDRAGON- Um, thankyou Um, for Um reviewing. But seriously Ok the explination to that question is very simple, Look behind you, a three headed monkey (Runs out the room, down the stairs, out the front door, into a car, starts the engine, drives to the airport, buys a ticket for the furthest point possible from here, gets on a plane which just happens to fly low overhead so you can hear it). The real reason is that I just couldn't be bothered looking at the previous chapter to see what weapon he was given, so now he took both guns ok?
70 David – Yipee Kay Yay That's good to hear. Thanks For the review. And another thing Dave, Welcome to the Special Weapons And Tactics (Clue to your heroic character)
Reviewers incentive: 1 Heroes left for a new reviewer, AMERICA WANTS YOU to be a hero.
Chapter 8-Join the party
Wilhelm looked down upon all the police that had surrounded the building. He didn't care, he had the building wired and he had warned the police of this so they wouldn't dare storm the building.
The police on the other hand were getting quite annoyed. The terrorists had taken control of the building about 2 hours ago and they gave no insinuation of their intentions. They couldn't risk storming the building could they?
All of a sudden, Wilhelm spoke to the police using their radios. "It is time to reveal ourselves to you. As you all know, I am Wilhelm, a trained mercenary, born German but I did fight for America during the last years of Vietnam. I have lead many successful jobs since I started so don't think you can do anything that will stop this. It is perfectly planned. Nothing could stop me now. I am here on behalf of my employers in the Middle East." Just then an officer started taunting another officer. It was clear that they had previously had an argument of the source of terrorism. "I told ya man all terrorists at leat have Middle Eastern connections." "No you said all terrorists were Middle Eastern." "Can you two keep quiet back there" the chief of police yelled out.
"They have told me to strike back at the west for occupation of Iraq and your hostile foreign policies to most Arab countries. I am instructed to torch this building, but I will give America a second chance. I have talked it over with my employers. Free Suddam, withdrawal from Iraq and do not get involved with Arab countries affairs for 20 years. Do this and we will leave this building and our hostages largely unharmed."
"He's bluffing" said an officer.
"How could you possibly tell that?" asked the chief
"His file. In attacks led by this guy Wilhelm Roentgen, he has never killed anyone. Also we have obtained a witness. During the bank robbery she knows she heard him comment that he was glad no one had been killed. This guy is bluffing."
"Well we can't be sure of this" Replied the chief. "Only when we know he is bluffing, shall we send in the special forces. For now Ill stall him." Little did the police know that he overheard the conversation because they were speaking near a permanently on transmitting radio that Wilhelm had tapped into to hear what was going on down there when there was no radio communication between them and the police. "So they think we won't act do they? Eduardo, get me a volunteer"
"Who should I get?"
"Hmm lets see"
Wilhelm looked out upon the group. There were a few hostages up the back who looked bored rather then scared. Wilhelm pointed to one of them. "What is your name?"
"Me? I'm Anthony"
"Hmm, Anthony what do you do?"
"I am the CEO of a large Jet industry"
"Is that so? Well, who are you then?" Wilhelm pointed to the businessman next to Anthony.
"I am Kevin the American businessman"
"Ok, Kevin, what is your Job"
"I am an American businessman"
"Any Particular business?"
"No, Just An American business man"
"Ok, well then who are you?" He suddenly changed his direction and pointed in the direction of an angry looking man in the other corner.
"I am Rupert Murdoch owner of Newscorp."
" I think we have just found our volunteer" Wilhelm told Eduardo. "Size him."
Eduardo did as he was told. "You cant take Rupert Murdoch, Rupert is important" Mr Murdoch started yelling.
"Take him to the window" ordered Wilhelm. Rupert was led to the window at gunpoint.
"See this now" Wilhelm radioed through the radio. "I know you think that I may be bluffing due to my past record of attacks. I am not bluffing. This is serious. Here I have Rupert Murdoch. His life is in peril. The world must hear our demands and act accordingly or else it will be a very red day."
There was a long silence from below. "Er ok Mr Roentgen What do we uh, have to do in order for you to stop?"
"I don't ask for much, just that our demands be met." At that moment Wilhelm shot the window. The window then shattered. "Push him out, My record is already ruined" He glared at the terrorist that killed John. "If they don't catch him its their fault."
"You can't do this to Rupert" he started yelling.
Eduardo grabbed Rupert and got ready to push when they were interrupted by a loud "WILHELM!". Mike had just come through the door. He looked as pale as anything. "Hang on a moment" Wilhelm told Eduardo. He then walked over to Mike. "Mike, shouldn't you be down laying C4 charges? Whats wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I think you had better come down and have a look at something, quick, bring reinforcements" replied Mike unsteadily.
"What is going on?"
"Just come."
They had been seen. They now realised it. "We have to leave now" Lao Shi ordered
"As I have said countless times before, Dragon, we are not going anywhere without the orb." Replied the hunts man
"Does your vanity know no bounds? You'll never get the orb not while dragons are in town"
"Well that is all about to change, prepare to paint the walls red, dragon"
"Yo, this is whacked, man were gonna be caught by terrorists" Jake complained
"Just shut up dragons" Growled the hunts master, "You don't want some big hairy men with guns to get you? There is one way to leave."
"I think we have heard just about enough" replied Lao. He then lunged at the hunts master.
"How long do you think we can keep up this charade?" he sighed
"Until we get out"
They began fighting once again. By now the vault had been absolutely trashed. The injured creatures could do nothing but watch in disbelief. They wanted to get out as much as the dragons did.
Jake suddenly decided to step in. While hunts master was busy with Lao Shi, he gave the hunts master a hot stream of fire. Hunts master yelled and jumped to the other end of the vault.
"You will pay for that dragons" He yelled once he recovered.
He immediately transformed his staff into a bow and arrow. Before Lao Shi or Jake reacted he fired. The green energy arrow was heading straight for Lao. He dodged leaving Jake in its path. At the last second Jake dived the arrow narrowly missing him. Just as Jake sighed, he heard a smack. The arrow had hit something. Jake looked around to see Rose injured.
Rose had been handing right behind Jake and she obviously didn't see past Jake so she had next to no time to dodge. Luckily she had only been hit in the upper arm, but now there was a large wound with a large amount of blood flowing from it.
"Ro.." Jake started then trailed off. If hunts master knew that rose knew that he was the dragon he could put her in danger.
"Hunts girl" Yelled Hunts master, "Out of my way dragons."
He transformed the bow back into a staff and held it menacingly at the dragons as he ran to Rose's aid.
"Jake, we can leave now" Called Lao Shi
"But gramps" Complained Jake
"Now is not the time Jake, we must go while hunts master is distracted."
"This is all your fault for dodging that blast, dragons, you must pay for that."
The hunts master charged up his staff and fired. Lao jumped out of the way but the Hunts Master had allowed for dodging. While he missed, some of the blast still hit Lao Shi. With that Lao was thrown forward and let go of the orb. They all watched it get flung through the air. They waited in anticipation as it hit the ground. With a lot of luck, it didn't break. It rolled to the front of the vault. They all stared at it for a moment. Lao Shi crept towards it when suddenly a hand came down and picked it up.
"Nice ball" They heard someone say in a German accent. They looked up just in time to see Wilhelm and eight other fully armed men enter the room.
"Nice of you to join the party" he then laughed.
"So what are you? I've seen some pretty strange things in my life, but I've never seen you fairy tale creatures." He seemed to laugh, but didn't at all seemed surprised to see these creatures. Some of the other guys though were white as if they were in a room full of mythical creatures (Hmm I wonder why?).
It was only looking at these armed men that the Hunts master realised his limitations. If it were only two men with pistols, he would try to bring them down. But eight with sub machine guns and high powered rifles? He wouldn't try.
Jake and Lao Shi were thinking the same thing.
"I see you have already started to do my job for me" Wilhelm said looking at the tied up trolls as he threw the glass sphere up and caught it. "And what is this?" He asked menacingly showing it to them.
"How long have you been standing there?" asked Lao
"Long enough to know that this is important. I was a little surprised at first but hey, I've got to expect surprises. Come, follow us up the tower. We will discuss more there."
They had little choice but to do what he said because these guys had guns but these guys also had the orb. Huntsman helped hunts girl up and they began following the terrorists out of the vault towards the fire stairs.
End of Chapter
Well their secret is out. How would you react to entering a room full of what would seem like monsters?
Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush while writing this chapter as well. Ill try to make the next one better.
Thanks again YFWE, Amdragon and 70 David
