Chapter 6- Vigilante

If it wasn't enough for Jakes dad that the world was falling apart before his very eyes, he also had the realisation that his very own son was fighting this evil. He felt it next to unbearable to just sit down doing nothing while New York was crumbling around him.

"We got to do something dear" He told his wife

"Yes, but father said that we must stay put if we are to survive" She replied

"They will get to us if we fight or not, look, many people have died today. Most of them never even thought about fighting. And now the police have gone and blocked off New York city. No one can get in, No one can get out. If we are going to stay, there is only one thing we can do. That is fight."

"I see where your coming from, but we are not magic, we would not stand a chance."

"You don't need magic to have power, look listen. You guys are not the only ones to have a secret."

"What do you mean?"

Jake's Dad then went through his wallet. He seemed to be searching through the cards. "Ah here it is" He pulled out a gold card and handed it to his wife.

"Membership to the NYCUGC" she read aloud, then got angry, "You're a member of the New York City Underground Gun Club? How did you get membership there, they are a bunch of underground Mercenaries bent on the toppling of the government"

"That's just the way people look at them"

"Then why were they outlawed?"

"Sometimes they do act a little extreme, but really, they never wanted to overthrow the government"

"Well how did you get membership there?"

"Well lets just say I accidentally stumbled upon one of their meetings and they signed me up, so that I couldn't go to the police cause I would be involved."

"They forced you?"

"Well no, er yes but anyway, they probably are meeting at their secret spot right now, with them, we have a chance to fight back. Come on, its our only hope."

"Are you sure we can even make it to their 'secret spot' alive"

"We have to"

She still looked at him awkwardly but inside she knew that he was right. They had to get to wherever it was the thing was that they didn't even know if anyone would be there or what would be happening. Jakes Dad had the shotgun and his mum armed herself with whatever she could. They Then went out the front door, into the fiery heat of burning New York. Jakes dad locked the door after they were out then he jumped into the garden. Jakes mum decided to follow his steps exactly. Jakes Dad looked around making sure it was safe to leave the garden. Once this was confirmed, they carefully made their way down the street. There was no sign of trouble. They turned onto a side street and continued walking. The coast seemed clear.

They walked for about 10 minutes in the direction of the subway. There was a long narrow stretch of street which was covered in smoke. They had to walk through this area of thick smoke. Their visibility was very limited as they carefully took step after step. Jakes dad thought he heard something, but didn't think much of it. Suddenly out of the black smoke a police car emerged. Upon seeing the two figures, it came to a Holt. Jakes dad realised that to the police, they must look like looters or something. The two police officers stepped out of the car.

"Sir Drop the gun and raise your hands, both of you." One of the police called.

Jake's Dad (Ah Ill Just call him David from now on, Who cares about his real name?) was deciding whether to comply or run.

The other officer was already starting to walk towards them. The first officer pulled out his firearm.

"I said drop the gun and put your hands up"

David dropped the gun. He really felt he had no choice.

"Ok, now both of you move slowly towards the car, keep your hands up. When you get there slowly place your hands on the chassis. No sudden movements now."

They both followed the officer's instructions. They placed their hands against the car. The officers searched them. They found no other weapon. They didn't cuff the pair because they determined that they were no threat, but they took the shotgun and made them get in the back seat of the car.

The officers got in the car and the driver started it up. They didn't say anything. They were driving in the opposite direction to the place where they needed to go. David sighed because he thought that they would never be able to help his son.

"Maybe its for the best" Jakes mum (Uh lets call her Tracey) "Maybe we would just get in the way of things"

David wasn't overly happy about this but he did not reply. The police car continued on and on for about 15 minutes, all the time drawing them further and further away from the club. The police car turned on to 32nd Street when suddenly it was hit by something. The police car jarred, then came to a halt. It was then hit again, this time whatever hit it did to with enough force to flip it onto its roof. The police, were trained for this situation, managed to unbuckle themselves, and open the doors. They crawled out and looked around, holding the confiscated shotgun ready. Upon seeing nothing, they then helped David and Tracey out of the car.

"We have to get somewhere safe" Ordered one of the officers. Suddenly a massive gryphon appeared out of nowhere and grabbed one of the officers in its talon. The other officer tried shooting it with the shotgun, but missed. Another gryphon came out of nowhere and picked up the other officer before he could do much. It held on tight, so the officer could not move his arms in order to shoot the gryphon. David and Tracey were left alone without any weapons. No other gryphons came which was a relief, but they now had to walk so much further in order to get to the secret place.

They started off down the road. The visibility in this area of New York seemed to be a lot worse. They had to take out their handkerchiefs and put them over their nose because there was a strong smell of burning rubber. They decided to take it tree by tree, bush by bush. It would greatly lengthen the time it took for them to reach the club, but it was their best chance of remaining concealed from the eyes of awaiting enemies.

So, they ran from safety of tree to tree, bush to bush, keeping a close eye for predators. Not may seemed to be around, something seemed to have caught their attention on the other side of the city. They made it back to their house with little problem, then continued on back towards the station.

By now the smoke had started to thicken as they made their way up to a long stretch with no cover.

"It would be best if we bolted to the trees on the other side as fast as we could" David announced. "I will go first, then signal you, do not stop till you reach the other side."

Tracey nodded in agreement.

David looked out to ensure that the coast was clear and then bolted. It was at least a 200M rush to the safety of concealment. Not being particularly athletic, he started to get really tired around the 75 M mark and slowed down considerably. At the 150 M mark he had slowed to almost a walking pace, but eventually he made it to the other side. Tracey having Dragon blood was naturally a little more athletic. David looked around to ensure the coast was clear, the beckoned. Tracey started to run, the only thing crossing her mind was to get to the other side. David Jumped when a little bit of debris fell from a nearby building, but there were still no signs of anything bad. Tracey slowed down a little at the 100 Meter mark.

Suddenly a large Gargoyle sprang out of a nearby house and made a grab for Tracey. Its aim was a little off, but it managed to knock her over. David ran out from behind the bushes. Tracey was a little dazed and surprised, but she still managed to stand up. The Gargoyle looked like it was trying to call something, as it let out a piercing shrill screech. Then It started to head back towards Tracey. She started running towards Dave but The gargoyle continued to follow her, Drawing ever closer. It was focused and ready to make the grab. It reached out its claw. It knew that she might try to possible dive forward in order to escape the grip, but the gargoyle was ready for this. It drew ever closer, eyeing its intended victim. Then it was within range and made a swipe, but seddenly from out of nowhere, David made a dive, forcing Tracey to fall over backwards. The Gargoyle hadn't calculated this and missed, its surprise was so great that it didn't swoop up fast enough and hit the ground. Dave and Tracey made a run for it.

They ran down the road, but the Gargoyle soon recovered. Not only that, but 2 trolls had come into site, and joined the chase. The creatures were by far faster then the two humans were, but by now they didn't have too far to go. At the end of the street there was a T intersection. All they had to do when they reached the intersection is go left and just sown the road would be the railway station. They got ready to turn left, the gargoyle and trolls were now close behind them. Suddenly on the left turn, several evil creatures sprung out, blocking their path left. More appeared on the right turn. They were now surrounded. The creatures chasing them slowed down. Dave and Tracey could not go anywhere. They looked around at all the creatures which had formed a circle around them. They had nothing to fight them with except their bare hands. The circle drew ever tighter, the creatures satisfied with the fact that they were about to make their kill.

A loud sound was heard nearby and a nearby. A Goblin flinched Fell to the ground. The creatures stoped and they all looked around in awe. Suddenly, another shot was heard. The creatures all began to retreat a little. Then they heard something which sounded like a man shouting, then suddenly from all around them, guys with guns poped up. They all began firing into the crowd of creatures. The creatures started to panic and they began to look for somewhere to hide, but everywhere that they could possibly have gone was covered. A few tried to charge at the nearest person, but there were just too many to cover him. It was a well planned ambush indeed, The creatures could put up little resistance against the men with their guns. David and Tracey had been saved. Once all the creatures were either dead or routed, A tall man came down from the wreckage of a nearby house.

"Hello David" He said

"Gus!" David gasped, "Honey, the NYCUGC has just saved us."

"That's right, pleased to help a fellow member"

Tracey looked at Gus, he was very well built and had several tattoos. He was also wearing Khaki Camouflage and looked fairly militant.

"Gus, this is my Wife Tracey"

"Pleased to meet you Maam" Replied Gus

"Uh, thanks" Tracey replied, she still wasn't used to the fact that she was talking to a group of people who were commonly referred to as Looney gun militia.

"You guys are very lucky" Gus continued. "We had decided that sitting in our little shelter was no good. The only way to fight these monsters is to drive them out of New York city. There have been suspicious animal sightings in other cities as well, it looks like this might be the fight that makes or breaks the human race. Therefore, we are marching to the city centre right now, to hold it, from these filthy creatures who now inhabit central Manhattan. We saw these creatures along the way and saw you get ambushed. It's a case of right place right time id say, although a pessimist might still say wrong place and wrong time, for needing help in the first place. Will you join us now, as we march towards our freedom?"

David stood silent for a little while. He looked at his wife, then back.

"Ok, we will join you, we don't see many other options."

All the members came out of their hiding places and came down onto the road. There were a lot of members, a lot more then anyone could have guessed, it was surprising to see how many people were involved when they were generally considered militia, but it seemed that now was as good time as any to join militia.

They began walking as a group down the road towards the city centre. They continued largely undisturbed but the smoke got thicker as they walked. They then turned onto a large 4 lane road which headed straight for the centre, but up ahead they saw a large police roadblock. They continued onwards. A police officer ran to his car and brought out a loud speaker and then started ordering them to turn back. They continued Marching inspired by their leader Gus, who they all felt was very able to make the decisions and it seemed most would be willing to go on a suicide mission for him. They continued to get closer to the roadblock. The police began turning their attention to the large vigilante mob that approached. Once again the police warned them to turn back or else they would be forced to make arrests. But that did not deter the mob at all.

When they were just a few feet short of the roadblock, Gus stopped, then ordered everyone else to stop as well. One of the police officers squinted at Gus he seemed to recognise him.

"Gus!" he shouted "I have wanted to put you away for so long, but now is not the time to be dealing with you. I order you to turn back now, or we will be forced to take action."

"Just let us through, we mean you no harm, we are on the same side here"

"I cannot let you through this is a restricted area, turn back now, or else"

"Look! I am on the same side as you, Do you not understand, we are at war here! You cannot stop us, we will fight for our city"

"We have everything under control here, I cannot allow you access beyond this point. Last warning. Turn back or things will get messy"

"You have everything under control? I see no control here"

The officer then drew his pistol.

"Sir, I'm afraid I am going to have to place you under arrest. Drop your weapon, and put your hands up and the rest of you leave now or else!"

Gus took a step forward in defiance.

The officer cocked his pistol, but was distracted by something, the sound of a chopper not just one but a few.

"Hear that?" He yelled in excitement "Finally the government has sent the U.S military in. We are bound to be victorious"

Dave watched as out of a side street on the other side of the Roadblock, a convoy of Jeeps and tanks rolled by.

"Damn, they just don't get it" He whispered to himself. They can't win

"See that?" The officer then turned his attention back to the vigilante group. "Your no longer needed. They finally got the Army involved."

Ahh, I finally update this story, sorry about the long wait.
