Chapter Seven: Memories

Back in Space, Six Hours Later

Tommy sat in the armory of his ship, repairing his weapons. The armory wasn't very big because of the ship's size. There were at least(excluding the weapons Tommy had with him when hunting Taylor)#18 blaster pistols, #9 blaster sniper rifles, #7 light-sabers, #11 revolver eight-shot design dart shooters, #7 heavy blaster canons, #8(unloaded)grenade launchers, #4 atomatic shotguns, #4 atomatic rilfes, #6 ak-47's, #10 silenced pistols, #6(unloaded)rocket launchers, #1 silenced sniper rifle, #4 silenced machine guns, #100 blaster bolt magazines, #500 poisen darts, #30 machine gun magazines, #50 pistol magazines, #60 ak-47 magazines, #200 shotgun shells, #200 rifle bullets, #100 sniper rifle bullets, #200 grenades, #100 thermal grenades, #100 thermal detonators, #50 flash grenades, #40 smoke bombs, #40 flares, and #4 mini torch cutters.

Tommy just there at a desk in the middle of the room called "the island"(a little joke phrase Tommy and Spade use for it), there were many different drawers filled with different kinds of tools and spare parts to fix weapons on the island. Tommy was fixing his light-saber, or at least trying to consentrate on the task at hand. But his mind was on something different...past memories Tommy wished he could just forget.

Flashback, #177 Years Earlier, Tommy's Age: Five

Two experiments were sitting happily in there room on Dragonia, the first one was female. She looked like a sapphire colored monitor lizard with dark-green claws and ruby blue colored eyes, she wore pink shorts and had a blue t-shirt on. The second one was male, he looked similar too Clip, only two feet taller, had grey fur all over, blood-red eyes, six inch long silver colored claws, his mouth had sharp teeth with meaty senews that were like a whale-sharks, golden colored hair that was held up by a blood-red bow, he also wore a blood soaked deer skin cape snd shorts. They were just enjoying thenselves when an experiment that was a three foot tall, humanoid wolf, that had snowwhite fur and sky-blue eyes that was wearing a pair of dark-blue pants and a same colored bandana with earholes cut at the top so his wolf ears wouldn't be smothered down by it, ran in while holding a drawing of some kind.

Tommy: Daddy, daddy, look what I made today.

He cried happily as his assigned father looked at the picture. It was defining dragoneon soldiers fighting gremlin soldiers with lazer rifles, it was a bit greusome for a little kids picture, but hey, this is an experiment kid. As for gremlins, they were only four feet tall, with slender bodies, but boy, are they agressive little creatures, tan fur that's spiked backwards all over there bodies, heads like Stitch but with more pointed snouts and sharper pearly-white teeth, there claws were short and curved, colored pitch-black with there same colored eyes, there tails were short but whip-like, and last, they had four deathly white transperant poisen quills on there backs.

Slicer: A very gruesome picture son. But why gremlins?

Tommy: Because there the enemy, popa.

Tommy grinned a toothy grin, and Slicer just smiled at his adopted sons enthuisisasum.

Overkill: Oh great, have you been making violent drawings again Tommy?

Tommy: Yes moma.

Was Tommy's only reply to his assigned mother.

Overkill: Tommy, your too young too start worrying about that right now. One day you will, but that is a long time from now, so don't grow up to fast.

Tommy: Don't worry mom, I won't, I promise.

Slicer: Will how are you going too do that, after all, your already as big as me!

All three of them burst out loud laughing at this.

End Flashback

The memory soon faded into the back of his mind and Tommy was left panting heavily. He shouted as he grabbed his head.

Tommy: RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD!

Tommy's fist suddenly rammed itself into a titainium steel wall and left a foot deep mark of his fist.

Tommy: Ow! Damn! That hurt. Why do these memories plague me so?

Spade hearing all the commotion walked in, half expecting too see property damage. Sure enough, there was a huge dent in the wall that was in the shape of Tommy's fist. Spade sighed as she walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

Spade: Tommy, this has got too stop, you've got too let go of the past.

Tommy: How the hell do I do that! You tell me how Spade! When you don't even what the pain is like too lose someone important to you!

Spade: I was just trying too help, you ungrateful basturd!

Tommy: Why won't you just drop the subject, I got over there deaths a long time ago!

Spade: Have you Tommy, or are you just trying too fool yourself?

Tommy stopped himself from yelling again, the question was unexpected, thus he was unsure how too respond too this.

Tommy: Whatever! Just leave me alone!

Spade: Fine you basturd!

Tommy: Fine you bitch!

Spade stormed out of the room without another word. Leaving Tommy too sulk in his anger and sadness.

Tommy: Why is it, that every time I shut the door on reality, it comes through the window?

Tommy walked back over to the island and once again started repairing his light-saber, more determined now than ever too get this bounty over with and kill Gantu. Just so he could stop being a bounty hunter sooner and end his pain and suffering by doing it the only way he knew possible. By killing the people who hurt him the most. With those last thoughts on his past and feeling relieved, Tommy concentrated on the task at hand as he and Spade approched earth.

Back on Earth

Nuke was sitting in the kitchen, eating raviolies for no apparent reason, he actaully got the idea from Lilo to eat raviolies when being depressed. Lilo walked in and saw Nuke eating raviolies, thinking.

Uh-oh, Nuke's eating raviolies, basturds depressed again. Better go see if he's okay.

Lilo: You okay Nuke?

Nuke: Never felt better.

Nuke replied coldly, which surprized Lilo, she never heard him use that tone before.

Lilo: Anything you want to talk about?

Nuke: Actaully...naw, forget about it.

Lilo: What?

Lilo pushed, hoping Nuke would just say it. Nuke sighed a sigh of sadness as he set down the canned raviolies.

Nuke: It's about Molly, I'm afraid, of what 514 will do to her.

Lilo: Builder, but why are you afraid he'll do something and not Hamsterveil?

Nuke: Cause he never takes lightly to traiters like her, and I mean like traiters too his point of veiw on things.

Lilo: Nuke, I know that's not all.

Nuke: What the hell are you talking about Lilo?

Lilo: I heard you talking in your sleep once, you said something about Hawk. Who's Hawk?

Nuke tensed up all over, he hadn't actaully heard someone say that name in years, not even himself, and it grealty hurt him.

Nuke: Hawk. He's a friend of mine, who...died a long time ago.

Lilo: I'm so sorry Nuke.

Nuke: Don't worry Lilo, it wasn't your fault he died, it was that stupid gremlins.

Lilo: What Happened?

Nuke: It happened while we were fighting the gremlins, on Doomean, there desert home planet. The rebellion wars were still happening at that time, and the gremlins often caused the most trouble. We were trying to destroy an enemy fortress we recently found out about. But problem was...it was on a plantau and they had missle defense systems, so we had to go in by ground. It took us hours to get up the hill. Mainly because we kept on getting hit by chain gun bullets and grenades. We finally reached the top, and a gremlin soldier snuck up behind Hawk and myself. He took one shot with a pistol, the shot was aimed at me, I didn't have time to bring up a sheild too protect myself. I closed my eyes, waiting for the bullet to hit me, when it didn't, I opened my eyes and saw Hawk fall to ground...with a bullet hole in his chest. A few moments later...he died. I ended up destroying the entire base and a gremlin city right behind the fortress after that, my anger taking controll of me all the way.

Lilo: Nuke, I'm so sorry I just made you relive that.

Nuke: It's okay Lilo, I just some alone time.

Lilo simply nodded her head and left, leaving Nuke to cry into the rest of the night.


That's the end of another chapter folks, this is Sniper signing off once more, and too all a good night.
