An hour later Hiro stood in front of Freds house waiting for Gogo to appear. His response was the sound of squealing tires roaring toward him, he turned to see Gogo take the corner on her bike, she pulled up in front of him and flipped up her helmet, "ready to go?" Her voice was happy, like they didn't even have a fight.
"Ya, but we're not doing it here." He motioned for her to stand, she did. He sat in the driver's seat. "I have a special place, i don't use it much but it's good and hidden."
"Well you're not going to be driving, my bike is like your bot, i'm the only one who is going to use it." She crossed her arms and waited for him to stand, but he remained seated. "You got some real nerve Hamada. You couldn't handle my bike even if i let you try."
"Just get on so we can go." He deadpanned, but she didn't move. "I know you don't want me to drive it, but thats the only way you're going to face Mega bot." He smugly crossed his arms, she grunted and got on the back.
redawning her helmet, she handing him her spare, "You might want this." She muttered.
"Thank you, now one last thing." He pulled a bandana out of his pocket, "It's private, no one knows where it is but me and… never mind that." He wrapped the cloth around the black glass of her helmet, and even though he couldn't see it, he knew she was scowling at him under her helmet.
"Is this really necessary?" Just as he guessed, her voice was snappy and had a tinge of anger.
"Is it really that bad?" He asked as he turned around on the bike and gunned it.
"Yes, i can't see and someone else is driving my bike. Plus i hate blindfolds." Her voice changed from it's snappy and angry nature to a more annoyed and defeated tone.
"So you're not into that kind of stuff." He paused to let her respond, but none came. "I'm just joking, anyway i'm going straight there, it shouldn't be more than a little while."
She didn't reply, nor did she speak the whole rest of the ride, even if it was only about ten minutes. When they arrived Hiro got off and began pulling off the blindfold, but she just ripped off her helmet before Hiro could finish fiddling with the knot.
the landscape sprawled out before her, there were trees as far as she could see, but a small clearing sat not far ahead of them. She looked up to see the canopy overhead, as she peered hard thru the thick, intertwined leaves she caught a glimpse of the mountain above them. The scents of car exhaust and industrialisation gave way to the scents of the forest. The sounds of honking cars and construction crews hard at work, seemed to be too far away to even remember as the sounds of birdsongs and faintly the sound of crashing water filled her ears. Probably a small stream or creek. How did i miss all of this change, it's not like we teleported here. "Where are we?" She asked almost breathlessly.
"Would you believe me if i said: The center of the earth?" He smiled, she gave him a look that portrayed her boredom with his joke. "Fine, it's just one of the many places that I found and kinda claimed as my own. With all my free time, you'd be surprised at the time i had as a insomniatic, board, genius teenager who need places to invent and test." He gestured off in one direction. "And occasionally wash off when i got to into my testing."
Gogo's eyes leveled on the clearing of trees in front of her, a small circle drew in white chalk sat in the dead center. She reached into a bag on the side of her bike and pulled out her bot. "So are we going to stand around and talk all day, or are we going to fight?"
Hiro let out a long sign, "last chance to stop this." She shook her head. "Knew that was coming." He muttered, reaching into his hoodie pocket he produced mega bot and his controler. They moved to sit down at each end of the circle, placing there bots in front of them, just inside of the circles radius. "Before we start, does your bot have a name?"
A grin cracked her face, "Sogdo."
A smile crossed his face, "The korean word for speed, why am i not surprised? Anyway," He cleared his throat and spoke in an announcer's voice. "This is a fight between Sogdo and her controler, Gogo." He motioned toward her bot, she giggled to herself. "And Megabot with his controler, me." He gestured toward the sitting black bot, his happy yellow face shining thru to the world.
"Two bots enter, one bot leaves." Gogo spoke, her smile widening. "BEGIN!"
Ok i know it's a little short and i know it's late, but its such a good cliffhanger and it lets me keep the fight all in one chapter instead of cutting it in the middle.
