Crazy – 04 – Hard Fighting

"We've got her," Lenk said and glanced through the mesh wire into the back of the truck. Luxie was lying in the back with her arms and legs bound. Whenever the truck skidded around a corner, Luxie rolled around in the back. "We're going straight to the airport. Very well." She snapped her phone shut and looked at the man driving the car. The other man had taken a different route back and Lenk was glad that she had her own superpowers to take out the girl when the time came.

"Uh, my head," came a muttered voice and Lenk turned back. She had given the girl enough tranquilizers to kill a big horse and this girl was already up and ready after only half an hour. "Hey!" Luxie suddenly shouted when she noticed her arms and legs were tied up.

"I didn't expect you to be this great," Lenk said and Luxie's head snapped towards her. The girl shifted a bit until she was kneeling and looking towards the woman in the front of the car.

"I tend to let people underestimate me," Luxie said with a sneer. It was something she couldn't help. Something in the back of her mind always triggered back talk and sarcasm. "So, what am I in for? I swear I didn't do it." She grinned to herself.

"Mainly we just want what's in your head," Lenk said and tapped her right temple.

"My skull?" Luxie said confused. "Why would you want that? Although I did hear that there are these people that…"

"No," Lenk interrupted the babbling girl. Was this really the girl they had been looking for for the last three months? "We need to know about your little friend."

"I don't have any little friends," Luxie said with a shrug and a sigh. "All my friends are a whole lot taller than I am. Also, I'm not sure if I could consider them friends so much as…"

"Lenk," the driver said and the woman turned away from the raven-haired girl. "There's bikers behind us. They've been following but weaving to make it look like they're not."

"Give them a sudden stop."

"Hey, why don't I have a window here?" Luxie called from the back and Lenk breathed in deeply. They were sure going to have their problems with this one.

"Woah," Cinder said loudly as she slammed into the back of the truck. It's sudden stop had caught her off guard and she hadn't been able to stop in time. Alec and Blade skidded to a halt and got off their bikes quickly.

Lenk and the driver got out and cracked their knuckles. The soldiers did the same and Cinder quickly unbuckled her helmet so as not to look stupid.

"Get the girl out," Blade ordered and Cinder clenched her fists. Three blades slid out of her fists and she gritted her teeth to the pain. Then she stabbed the back of the van.

"No!" Lenk yelled and charged at Cinder. Blade quickly interrupted and soon he was in a heated battle with her trying hard to break her arms. She was quick and speed was something he lacked.

Alec watched them for a while before he heard Cinder squeal and turned to find the big man's arm around her neck and a gun to her head.

"Just let her go and you'll be fine," Alec said as he slowly stepped towards him. "You don't wanna do this." The big guy took a step back and Alec noticed the blades on Cinder's fists slowly sliding back – the pain was getting too much for her.

He looked at her and he noticed her eyes were concentrating on his hands. Then it clicked. A few movements with his hands and she knew his plan. Her blades re-grew to their full length and once they had, Alec quickly grabbed his gun from his back pocket and shot.

Cinder had moved at the same time he had and had just missed the bullet coming out of the big guy's gun. He was hit square in the forehead and without hesitation, Cinder went back to cutting up the truck.

Alec rushed over to Blade and stopped. Both the male soldier and the tall woman were holding two guns to the opponents head. Alec pulled his trigger and the woman stumbled, shocked, as the bullet hit her shoulder.

"I was handling it," Blade growled and kicked the woman in the face. Both of them were already bleeding from their mouths and noses but Alec was sure he heard her spine crack when Blade had kicked her. Again she stumbled and then with a silent curse, she turned and ran off. Blade fired a few bullets at her but the woman kept running, stumbling each time the bullet hit.

"Well, that took ya long enough," came a voice and a sniff from Cinder. The two boys turned to girl and both pairs of eyes sunk towards the hole in her chest. The tranquilizer Lenk had used was embedded in a normal bullet and had punctured a few veins, arteries and just missed her lungs. Her shirt, however, was covered in blood and in it's moistness had shaped itself around her… body.

Both girl cleared their throats and the boys' eyes flicked back up.

"Hey, we just had some hard fighting. We deserve something," Alec defended themselves (although why he said 'we' was beyond him).

"What classes did you take back home?" Luxie asked with a chuckle and Blade shook his head in the presence of stupidity. They should have just left this nutcase where she belonged.
