Chapter 47: Extinction
The rain was falling down hard now. Meilin could here the pounding of the rain on the roof of the jail. She was in there because Sakura was afraid that the alien DNA would return into her body. Both of them were in the infirmary as Meilin took a blood sample from her Sakura and now just got the results. "I checked," said Meilin to Sakura, "There is no sign of the DNA in your body. Why are you worried?"
"I just have the worse thought that this nightmare of the aliens isn't just over yet," said Sakura sadly, "I just feel that this horror is going to get worse."
"Just pay attention and stay alert since the hurricane is going to come today," said Meilin to her, "Can you hear that rain coming down on us? It's like hail out there."
"I notice," said Sakura, "I wish we could get off this crazy island before disaster came, but we are stuck here because of the military."
"Girls!" said Josh bursting in the room, "We got a problem! Ronjad just radioed in a disturbing problem that is heading our way."
"What is it?" said Sakura.
"Joe's army is heading towards our way!" he said, "We got to arm ourselves for this onslaught of hybrids."
"What's going on?" said Lovrina worried, "Who is coming our way?" Ronjad, Ash, and Whitey have just arrived at the motel and everyone who meet them in there. They frantically explained the problem coming towards them.
"We are about to enter a war zone!" said Ronjad to everyone while reaching into his backpack, "We got to arm ourselves for the dangers coming our away!" Ronjad pulled out 3 more guns, a pistol, magnum, and revolver. He handed the pistol to Pan, the magnum to Whitey, and the revolver to Brock.
"Ash you better get over to Melody's house and warn her," said Ronjad taking to Ash's gun he had used, "I'll be keeping this, you and Melody have your electrical stun guns."
"Right," said Ash taking off into the oncoming storm find Melody.
"Brock, take everyone here without a weapon into the sewer system for cover of the storm and the invading forces," said Ronjad, "Lovrina, Whitey, and Pan come with me. We got to get to the town fast."
"What about Kait, Sakura, Meilin, and Josh?" said Pan, "Aren't you going to warn them of the attack by these people?"
"I already did," said Ronjad, "They are all taking shelter in the jail."
"How about Bianca?" said Pan.
"Actually," said Ronjad thinking, "I haven't seen her when I called this emergency meeting. I even checked her bedroom, no one was in there." Everyone looked at each other, and Pan, Ronjad, Lovrina, and Whitey took off to find her.
The hybrids from the water made their way up to the jail. They just received supplies from a boat that arrived after they were all out of the water. The rain was getting worse as the hurricane made its way towards the island. "Come in Joe," said one of them to a radio, "We are here at the jail which Ronjad owns. What is your command?"
"He must understand that we going to rule the world," Joe stated, "Find and kill everyone in the building and then blow it up. I'll be coming soon, after you are done at the jail, move onto the town and take everyone you can."
"That it?" he said to Joe over the radio.
"Split up into another team and kill anyone at the motel," said Joe, "Don't burn it down, we'll be using it as our new base. Joe is out."
Josh and everyone had armed themselves with the stun guns and were watching the monitors in the security room. "Here they come," said Kait seeing the hybrids busted through the doors, "We can't fight off 100 of these guys!"
"We'll have to use the helicopter on the roof to escape," said Josh, "Follow me!" They all followed him out of the room and into the hallway. They walked quietly not trying to attract anyone's attention.
They stopped when they reached the stairs, because they heard footsteps. They all ducked into an empty room and shut the door behind them. "They weren't on that floor," said a hybrid, "We'll keep checking. You too start with this room and you others follow me!"
They all hide behind the door as it opened slowly. The two army looking men stepped inside holding assault rifles. "Now the count of three," said Meilin to everyone, "We jumped them, one…two…three!"
"What?" said one of the men. Meilin jumped onto him causing him to fall. The other guy turned around and was punched in the face by Josh. He tried to aim the gun by Josh grabbed it and hit him in the stomach with the butt of the gun. Then he finished by ramming it over his head.
"Get the hell off of me you bitch!" shouted the other man as Meilin kept her hold on him and kept him on the ground. Sakura grabbed the rifle away from him and hit him in the head with it.
"Ok," said Josh once all the men were out, "Let's keep moving!"
Ash ran as fast as he can towards Melody's house. The winds were picking up and it was getting harder to see through the rain. He came up to her house and said once he saw it, "No."
Her front door was busted opened and once he was inside he saw that the house has been trashed horribly. Chairs were tipped over and other things were smashed "Melody?" called Ash, "Are you here?"
"Melody?" said someone else, "Are you ok? What happened here?" Ash saw a flashlight on the ground, picked it up, and flashed it on the person. It recognized the person from the day that Riche died. It was Calvin.
"What are you doing here?" said Calvin seeing Ash, "Do you know what happened to Melody?"
"No," said Ash, "She's gone." He looked at the ground and saw Melody's stun gun was laying on the ground.
Ash picked it up and Calvin said, "Why would Melody leave that behind? It's her stun gun for battling those aliens."
"Yeah," said Ash without thinking, "Wait a minute, how do you know that?"
"I know everything about Melody," he said to Ash with a smile, "I know she sleeps with a stuffed Pikachu ever since you left this island last time, she wants to travel with you, and I know a lot about you just from her."
"Are you a stalker?" said Ash angrily.
"I'm an admirer," he said to him, "But I never know what she sees in you. This would the first time in 5 years since you seen her. After all this hybrid problem and alien shit is over with, will you leave her again and move on your journey?"
"I would never!" shouted Ash at Calvin.
"What she needs is someone who will always be there for her and as always been with her," said Calvin, "Someone like me."
"You're a bastard," said Ash angrily, "You stalking her and spying on her as well. You disgust me."
"Maybe I disgust you but I care enough about her to know she is in trouble at the moment and we are wasting valuable time by lashing out at each other at the moment," replied Calvin, "If you cared about her, you'll stop wasting time with me and go look for her before the hurricane hits."
Ash stared angrily at him. This is why Melody is scared for herself other than being scared for her life," thought Ash, "She is scared of this horrible guy. But he is making a good point that Ash was wasting his time there.
"I'll deal with you later," said Ash to Calvin before running away from him and out into the storm to look for Melody.
Ronjad, Whitey, Lovrina, and Pan ran into the city just in time to see the fake military troops, at least 50 of them, leading the remaining population away. Lovrina spotted Bianca in the crowd and shouted to her "What the hell is going on?"
"They are taking us to another island to escape the storm!" she shouted back to him, "I said I would stay but they forced me by gun point!" Then it started to get even darker than before and more rain poured on everyone.
"Hey you four!" shouted a military unit them, "Get in line! You have to come with us!"
"No way!" shouted Pan, "We are staying here!" Then everyone in the crowd of people and military unit members looked at them.
"If you are not coming with us," said the unit raising his gun and pointing it at Pan, "Then you just die here." The shot went off and both of them crumpled to the ground. But it was the fake solider that was really killed. The shot was to the head and the poured out.
Everyone turned to see that Ronjad had fired the shot off. "Everyone!" he shouted to the crowd of people, "These are not real members of the army here to take you away to safety. Would army men aim their gun and try to kill an innocent civilian?"
Everyone in the crowd agreed and Ronjad, "These are not the real people hear to save you, they forced you into this by gunpoint. Now they are taking you all away from your homes you want to protect. They wouldn't listen no matter how much you pleaded and didn't give a damn. Are you all going to take this bullshit?"
"You are going to die here?" said another solider raising his gun and pointing it at Ronjad. Then someone in the crowd punched him in the face. Another solider aimed the gun at the man, but another person jumped him. Soon the whole everyone was rioting against the fake units.
"You're good at getting people riled up," said Lovrina with a smile to Ronjad, "You were so hot and sexy!"
"Don't thank me just yet," said Ronjad turning behind them, "We got company." They turned to see at least 25 more hybrids joining the fight.
At the motel, the hybrids had taken complete control of it and it was empty. "Where are they?" said the unit leader.
"Judging by the looks of this place," said another hybrid, "They got out of here at least 10 minutes before we got here."
"They can't of gotten to far," said the leader, "Everyone here spread out!" All of the members of them spread out and started to look for the missing people. Unknown to them, from a far across the street, Brock watched them from a manhole and he divided down to disappear from few.
"There they are!" shouted a hybrid spotting Josh and everyone ducking around a corner of the 4th floor. Everyone shot off rounds as Sakura was the last to disappear around the corner. The bullets smashed into the walls creating holes in it and one of them manage to get Sakura in the leg.
"AH!" she screamed in pain holding her leg in the spot, "It hurts so badly!" Meilin took off her shirt and wrapped it around Sakura's leg.
"I hope that you are ok since you are wrecking my best shirt," said Meilin.
"I'm glad," she said with a nervous smile, "I also notice you are wearing a black bra under that shirt."
"Don't look at me!" she shouted at her. Two of the soldiers turned the corner, but Josh shot one with the assault rife and Kait got another with the stun gun. The rife blast tore off one man's arm, but the recoil of the gun made Josh tumbled to the ground.
"Man this thing is strong," said Josh looking at the rife. Then they heard more people running there way.
"But her on my back and let's we get out of here," said Josh getting help to put Sakura on his back so they could escape. Then they took off as the shadows of the gaining men on the walls.
The whole island had fallin' under the darkness of the clouds. Besides the wind that blow and howled in the darkness, lighting could be seen, and thunder filled the air. Ash struggled against the blowing winds and only made it into the police station only 3 blocks away.
"It's like hell out there," he said panting once he made his way into the station. He looked around himself and saw bullet holes in the walls the dead bleeding bodies of people and police officers in the lobby, and that the lights in the room were blown out.
"Holy shit!" said Ash clamping himself against the door. He turned in the flashlight and raised his stun gun looking around for the cause of the attack.
"You see here," said a voice, "I'm not happy at all. You haven't been giving me all the known hybrids on this island." Ash turned off his flashlight and followed the voice of the person in the darkness.
"I was only giving the hopeless that couldn't be guided by the church," said Tom the sheriff to the person, "Not every hybrid that changed could be sent to you."
Ash turned to look into the only lighted room and where the voices were coming from to see a teenage boy with a machine gun and two soldiers had the sheriff, Carol, and Melody at gunpoint. "As for you," said the teenage boy looking at Melody, "You didn't give me your sister."
"I would never give my sister to a bastard like you Joe Soul," shouted Melody at him, "She is my sister!"
"Too bad," said Joe issuing the men to raise their guns at the three of them, "You didn't what I wanted and the same goes for you Tom. Now you'll die here and no one will ever find your bodies."
Ash came in and raised his gun at one of the soldiers and shouted, "Freeze!" Both men turned to raise their guns at him, but Ash shot the first guy in the face and Ash jumped out of the way of the bullet from the second man. Joe took this time to jump out of the window and escape. Ash turned back into the room and shot the other guy in the heart. The first guy's face blow off from the electrical shock and his blood splattered against the wall while the other guy just collapsed.
"ASH!" said Melody jumping on to him and kissing him passionately, "Thank you so much for saving me!"
"You are disgusting me sis," said Carol, "But it is nice that you actually found someone who is actually likes you besides that pervert freak, Calvin."
"Calvin?" said Ash.
"Yes," said Carol, "He would always try to have her make out with him and he would try to grab her breasts."
"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" shouted Ash in furry, "THAT PREVERT BASTARD IS GOING DOWN NEXT TIME I SEE HIM!"
"But we are not in the moment to attack one another when Joe escaped and his army is attacking our town," said Tom, "There are extra weapons in the storage room. We'll grab them and go save this place."
As the riot of everyone fighting the soldiers continued, the hurricane finally made it. It didn't touch land but it was crossing in front of them on the bay. The fighting was getting more intense as well. People were using any weapon they could find or take away from the hybrids; someone smashed a hybrid in the face with a brick, another gun down one.
Then it happened, an orange light appeared in front of them. Everyone stopped fighting and shooting. "Holy crap," said Pan seeing it.
Josh, Sakura, Meilin, and Kait stopped and looked out the window and saw it. Once Ash, Melody, Tom, and Carol were out of the police station they looked up to see it. Calvin stepped outside the house and was amazed.
Hundreds of thousands of lights were falling into the ocean filling the sky and sea with orange glowing light. Everyone stopped to looked at it for 5 minutes and everyone continued to riot.
Ronjad shot down three hybrids before reloading. Once he was done, he saw someone running through the crowd of people and into the tallest building in the city. It was Joe.
"Son of a bitch you get back here!" shouted Ronjad chasing after him into the building.
"Keep going!" Kait firing off bullets into the soldiers as they kept appearing. They ran up the staircase and came up to the door that lead up onto the roof. But it had a padlock on it.
"Damn it!" mumbled Josh setting down Sakura and aiming his gun at the lock. He shouted it off and tumbled to the ground and down the staircase to the next floor.
"There he is!" shouted a soldier coming up the staircase. Josh backed away form him but couldn't go any farther. Then a lighting bolt stuck the buildings outside generator and exploded. The wiring in the building started to send an extreme amount of voltage through it and out many places. Including right next to the solider shocking and killing him.
"We got to get out of here!" Josh shouted running up the steps as more electrical explosions went off below him. He and the rest of them came on out to the roof. They jumped into the helicopter and started it up.
"Lucky Domino forgot to take the key from the helicopter," said Josh as they took off. Meilin looked below as the rest of the place went off in flames and electrical explosions. Soon, the jail had crumbled to the ground along with the rest of the remaining hybrids inside of it.
"Joe!" said Ronjad holding his gun out in front of him as he stepped into the lobby of the building, "I know you are in here! Get your ass out and surrender!" Someone grabbed his arm and started to crush it with its strength. Ronjad screamed in pain and was tossed against the wall. The figure grabbed at his neck and held him up. It was Ein.
"YOU!" choked Ronjad, "You're that infected that wasn't cured and escaped!"
Ein laughed and said, "You're right, I made my daring escape and killing three others out of that nightmare. I joined Joe's group because I know we have the same thing in common, you been standing in our way."
"I never stood in his way," growled Ronjad, "What makes him angry at me?"
"That you been keeping three hybrids away from him," said Ein, "He tried to capture Whitey all those months ago, but he thought he heard someone coming towards him so he just grabbed Whitey's notebook and took it with him."
"So it was Joe who attacked him all those months ago," said Ronjad becoming lightheaded with the lack of oxygen making it to his brain.
"Now you are at the end of your rope," said Ein, "You are done for now."
"Hell he is," said Lovrina appearing shooting Ein through his neck with a harpoon gun. The harpoon went through his head and kept flying at the wall dragging Ein along. By the time the harpoon got stuck in the wall, Ein was dead.
"Ronjad!" said Lovrina jumping over to him making each other hug and kiss, "I don't want you to ever leave me, I wouldn't make it."
"You could make it," smiled Ronjad hugging her, "But I couldn't believe being without you. Where did you find that harpoon gun anyways?"
"One of the people had it but was killed by a soldier before he could use it," said Lovrina, "I lost my gun in crazy fighting and grabbed it. Then I saw you rush towards this building so I came after you." Then the sound of machine gun bullets went off and Ronjad, grabbing Lovrina, jumped out of the way.
Both of them looked towards the origin of the bullets and saw Joe. He then ducked into a room and disappeared out of sight. "I want you to get out of here," said Ronjad to Lovrina, "I going after that f-----g bastard and making him pay for all he has done. I want you once outside to find cover and stay hidden."
He kissed one more time and ran after Joe. He walked into the room and found out it was a staircase. He walked up and got shot at. He dove out of the line of fire and looked up to see Joe high above him. Then he ran farther upstairs as Ronjad gave the chase with his magnum in front of him.
As Ronjad chased after Joe, Lovrina ran outside. She turned to face the building, and then one of the hybrid soldiers threw an incendiary grenade. It missed and headed up in the building, soon it exploded and causing the floor to burst into flames. Soon the whole first floor was on fire. "Ronjad," said Lovrina in the chaos, "Please come back alive."
Finally, 10 stories from the bottom, Joe ran out of area to run as he came onto the rooftop. He walked up to the side and looked down to see the world below him. "This is where it ends for you!" shouted Ronjad bursting through the door and onto the rooftop with his gun pointing at Joe, "Time to give up."
"Do you see it?" said Joe to him as he stared down at the ground below them, "It is utter chaos down there. The blood, the fighting, the killing…I enjoy it."
"You sick monster," said Ronjad sweating as the rain beat down on them, "You enjoy this?"
"I am a complicated person," said Joe turning to Ronjad, "All that time in college, I read about great leaders and there conquest to control the world. I want to be written about, because he will be the first great battle of the war of the world. Soon, more hybrids will come to my side and join the takeover."
"Just want to be written about?" said Ronjad shaking his head, "That is your goal?"
"It may not seem much to you," said Joe clutching his gun, "But I wouldn't expect you to understand. I'm invincible."
"No your not," said Ronjad, "But I could test that, want me to?"
Joe chuckled a bit at that remark and Ronjad asked, "What's so funny? Do you see this is where it ends for you?"
"Go ahead," laughed Joe, "Kill me, shoot me. It won't make a difference if I die here because this won't be the end for me. You can't kill the unstoppable."
"I bet I can so," said Ronjad.
"Kill me and you'll never learn my true intentions," said Joe, "But I don't care anymore." He raised his gun at Ronjad, but he shot first. The first shot hit him in the stomach, the second blasted his shoulder to pieces, and finally Ronjad shot into Joe's head.
Joe smile didn't fade away as he struggled to stand, but his blood and the rain made him slip. Right over the edge of the building into the riot below. Ronjad ran to the side and looked as Joe disappeared into the flames below. Out of sight, Joe kept falling until he smashed into the concrete.
"The whole building is going up in flames," said Ronjad stepping away from the edge, "How am I going to get out of this?" Then a spotlight appeared on Ronjad and he looked up, a helicopter had flashed its light on him. It was Josh and friends.
"Over here!" shouted Ronjad waving his arms and hands. Josh landed the helicopter and Ronjad jumped into it. Every looked at the building as they flow away from it, it completely burst into flames lighting the dark clouded sky.
Ash and his team ran out into the riot with batons and riot guns. Melody collapsed to the ground when rammed in the face by a soldier with his gun. He aimed it at her, but he was shot by both Ash and Calvin as they ran up to her. "My love!" they said together, "Are you ok? HEY! THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?"
Ash punched Calvin in the face and Calvin jumped onto Ash. He kept Ash on the ground sitting on top of him and punching him too. He kicked Calvin off and started to kick him, but Calvin hit him in the face with his pistol.
"ALL RIGHT!" shouted a voice at everyone, "EVERYONE STOP AND PUT DOWN ALL YOUR WEAPONS!" A bunch of spotlights lighted up the darken area, it was a bunch of helicopters from the Orange Islands Coast Guard. Soon everyone dropped their guns and weapons and looked up at the helicopters landing.
"Besides that black eye and bruising you have you are ok," said a medic unit to Ash as he put ice on Ash's wounds, "But who punched you?"
"A pervert putting moves of my girlfriend," he said with a grumble and moan in his voice. Ash made his way to everyone who had gathered in a group.
"It was so horrible," said Melody to everyone in the circle, "I thought I would die here."
"But you are alive," said Brock who had meet up with everyone once the coast guard came, "That's all that matters."
Ronjad and Pan nodded at that while Lovrina hugged Ronjad crying and saying, "I thought I lose you in that fire. Please never do anything like this again."
Calvin walked up to the group with an ice pack against his face and Ash stood in front of him and said, "What the hell do you want? You want to go another round."
"I'm here to tell you this," said Calvin, "I now believe you and Melody are meant to be together no matter how much I hate to say it. But you fought for her and put up a good fight so I'm taking back everything I said about you. Also, I'm giving up on Melody, I promise to stop bugging her and will let her and you live your lives together. That is all I have to say." He then turned and walked away from them.
"Pretty noble of him," said Max, "I'm glad to here that."
"Me too," said Melody quietly, "But I guess he wasn't such a bad guy at the end of all this."
"I saw the jail go up in flames," said Whitey, "What happened?"
"It was destroyed by the lighting and storm," said Kait, "But it brings bad memories to me, so I'm glad it's gone." Then the clouds parted to reveal the sun shiny down on everyone.
"It's all over now," said Josh and he turned to Ronjad, "Sakura left with a coast guard helicopter to treat her wounds, Meilin went with her."
Ronjad nodded and sighed. "Excuse me," said a man walking up with other holding a body bag, "But would you happen to know who this teen is?"
Everyone looked at the bag as the man opened the bag. It revealed to be Joe Soul who was not smiling anymore. Everyone was quiet for a long time, but Ronjad spoke up and said, "I'm sorry sir, I never seen him before in my life."
The men nodded and zipped up the bag. They watched as they loaded Joe's corpse into the helicopter. Everyone watched them take off and disappear into the air.
Ronjad looked into the sky still watching the white abyss above him as everyone walked away and back to the motel. Ronjad uttered only one word, "Goodbye."
