Chapter 2: Monster
Next Morning 10:12 AM
Phoenix
"Ok," Sasha called.
"I'm here." she entered the bridge. Ratchet looked at her, he didn't give her that usual smile he would when he saw her. The two had broken up, moved into things a bit to quickly I guess. When issues came to life or death, both didn't want to deal with it, the worrying, the fear…it was just too much for both of them. Eventually it would lead to arguments between the two until finally they broke up.
"Ok, here's the deal," Jazz started.
"Last night in the city we have had several reports of, get ready for this, a vampire!"
Jazz was the newest member of the Q force. He was a green Rabbit who wore a red bandana some jeans and always carried around a big gun on his shoulder. His look didn't really reflect his personality though. He was a jovial creature, a real friend. He was Smart and resourceful, and was one hell of a backup when it came to firefights, Finally someone to help ratchet out on the battlefield. (Yes the same Jazz from Juvenile.)
"Apparently he took a girl last night after biting her, were looking for the freak right now." Ratchet picked up. Sasha Jumped a little.
"That's weird…"
"Quite," Al, the groups computer specialist agreed.
"Were looking for a Gray Lombax with Black stripes. I already took a picture of ratchet; I'm mixing the colors a little bit so we have an idea of this creep." Sasha was proud of her crew; this one seemed a lot more efficient.
"I'm going to call the G.P.; let's see if we can't get a few troops there. Where did this happen?" Sasha asked.
"Metropolis." A ranger answered. Sasha walked off to her quarters. The group of three continued working on their computers, punching in buttons, and looking up all the information they could.
"Hey Ratchet." Jazz called. Ratchet looked over
"You think that this vampire stuff is real?"
"There's no such thing, Jazz, trust me." The two started to laugh.
"Finally!" Al said, breaking the laughter. He pushed a button and several prints appeared.
"Ratchet take these to the Police in Metropolis, this way people will know what to expect." Ratchet took the pictures.
"Al, I don't really look different, just black and white"
"…That's not a point, Ratchet." Al sighed.
"Ok, ok I'll take it." Ratchet took the picture. Well, maybe it would do well; it would give people an Idea of what to lookout for…although people will feel weird around gray Lombaxes now. Ratchet left the Bridge and entered the hanger; there he saw Sasha with her back against his ship…was she waiting for him?
"Ratchet, could you give me a ride?" She asked
"Well, can't you just."
"Don't feel like it today, I get to much attention just to go see dad." Ratchet nodded and patted her on the back; she was cold.
"You alright?" Ratchet asked.
"I'm fine." The two hopped in to the ship and flew to Marcadia. When the got there Sasha hopped out.
"Sasha." Ratchet said before she was to far away.
"You owe me." Sasha smiled and continued toward the palace. Ratchet flew off.
1 hour later
The gray Lombax strode through the streets of Marcadia. (Yes, it IS daytime. How could this be? Why don't you read Dracula and find out yourself.) He did hear people talk about the incident last night.
"Strange…" the people would say but it didn't worry him. Finally he went down a dark corridor. There she was, the girl. He walked toward her.
"There you are." He said.
"I was afraid you might not show up. Names Bradley, by the way."
"You could have put me somewhere else last night!" The girl hissed.
"Instead of just out there…" Bradley remained oblivious to the girl's complaints and asked.
"What's your name?"
"…Sasha…"
"Ok…well, nothing left to say, let's get going!"
"Wait!" Sasha said.
"We have a problem…"
"And that is…"
"The Q force is against you…they don't know about me yet though. I'm Captain of-"
"The Phoenix? You mean you are captain Sasha?" Sasha nodded
"Well then, I think we could use this to our advantage! You hungry?" he asked. Sasha smiled. Meanwhile
Ratchet just got back to the phoenix. He made his way back to the bridge.
"That has to have been the easiest mission I have ever been on."
"It's about to get a lot harder." Al said
"Finding this one guy is going to be hard, especially with the entire galaxy to search."
"Who says he has a ship?"
"We have to consider everything, Ratchet."
"This is going to be a long day isn't it."
That night
Marcadia
"We all ready to go?" Bradley asked. Stuff the last of his supplies into his ship. It was a lot like ratchets but bigger.
"Yep." Sasha nodded.
"Perfect, but before we go let's have a little fun."
Not to long later; in a part of city…some clothing store.
"I haven't been able to do this for a long time, my last partner was…well, you know." The two acted as a couple and held on to each other, picking out cloths.
"Ok, rules of the game, just go crazy, one with the most kills wins." Sasha chuckled.
"Ok,"
"GO!" Bradley yelled. Sasha pushed Bradley out of the way and hoped on the store clerk, sending him to the floor. She picked him up by his shirt and bit him. Behind her, Bradley had out his pocketknife. He looked around…who to pick off…" People were running scared. Sasha was done with her first kill and hopped to another person. Bradley finally found a group of friends running toward him, obviously they had no idea he was a vampire too. He winded back and plugged the dagger into a guy's chest and then elbowed a girl to the floor. The other three of them escaped. Bradley bent down the girl he had knocked to the floor and sucked her dry then he rolled over the man who was yelling in pain, removed the knife, and bit him too. By this time everyone was gone. Sasha was still finishing the remains of the girl she had bitten. She wasn't Sasha anymore. She was a monster.
