Shattered
Part One: Byrne
Chapter One
Something Else
"Hey, Hot Shot!" Byrne called from above. "I got something for you!"
I looked up and snatched the package he dropped down to me.
"Thanks!" I called, picking up speed to zoom between two DNA clones. Their heads turned 180 degrees to look at me. I handed the package off to Deets as I U-turned after the clones, cracking my weapon.
Byrne was right behind me.
"Ed! What are you doing! We got the package, lets bail!"
"I just wanna show these Bedlam drone how Dojo does business."
Needless to say, I whipped them, Byrne still following.
What neither of us noticed was the third clone that came out of the DNA van and shot Byrne with some kind of laser.
Byrne was knocked unconscious.
I had some serious butt-kicking to do.
The clone was no harder to kill than the other two. It deformed into a puddle of green goo.
I bent, retrieved it laser, and tossed it to Fizz, who stowed it.
"I'll look at this later." She said.
It took us a little while to wake Byrne up.
"I'll bust you for this later, Ed." He said, poking his finger at me. "Come on, let's bail, before they reform."
I nodded and took off, but not before the clones started to reform.
"Thanks for using DNA."
"Thanks for using DNA."
That gets annoying.
I stopped suddenly. The third one said something else. Something different.
I turned. It said it again.
"Come on Ed!" Byrne yelled.
I shook my head and followed.
I could have sworn that third clone said: "Dojo Deliveries meet your doom."
