Skye and Tech were exhausted from the events that had occurred over the last few days. It was a month to the day since they arrived in 2128. It was a surprise to see Tech still asleep as he tended to be an early riser most of the time. During the night Skye kept waking up during the night in cold sweats she thought to herself that it is possibly because of the stress of the concussion caused by Robot sentry.
Skye was speaking in her sleep as if she was having a nightmare. She eventually woke up screaming
"NO!" She screamed
Skye's POV
What just happened, my couch is covered in sweat. This isn't exactly how I pictured waking up at one point. I raised my hand to my forehead to see if I had a temperature, no temperature so obviously this is something mental related. Most likely the Robot giving me a beating the other day, I think it's best that I have shower. Thankfully Tech fixed the hot water system. I'm amazed at how much he can accomplish in a day.
Normal POV
Skye got out of her bed and walked over to the bathroom, she shut the door behind her and turned on the shower. Tech woke up several minutes later to here the water running in the bathroom, he knew it was Skye considering he could hear her humming.
Five Hours Later
"Reports are still coming in from the city's CBD" Tech said
Skye and Tech were flying to the city's CBD after intercepting reports of a group of three people attacking the locals in the CBD and going through every store, statue and park and no one knew why.
"So, you think they work for Shale" Skye asked as the wind was flying into her face
"It's possible... But look, there they are" Tech pointed as they flew right over them
They landed on the roof overlooking the group of two males and one Snake like person walking through the city destroying everything in their path. The male at the front seemed to be only wearing grey pants while the rest of his body was a grey colour and built up with rock like qualities. The second man at the back was wearing a brown vest over a black shirt with brown pants and brown shoes as if he was a cowboy of some sorts. While the Snake lady was only wearing a white shirt.
"Ok, were seriously going up against something that we have no idea to deal with!" Exclaimed Tech
Skye looked and noticed that the man at the back was holding an assault rifle shooting at the windows of each store that was allowing the other two accomplices to go in and look around for any items of interest.
"Tech, do you think you can use your magnetism to attract the bullets?" Skye asked
"Yea, but why?"
"Well take a look at the big guy who looks like a rock smashing the ground, his spine is visible, if we can get a bullet to hit it he'll be paralysed"
Tech used his scanner to get a quick idea on what the rock guy was, his scanner detected high traces of an unknown substance that his scanner could not trace back to 2774 so it must have been something from Shales timeline.
"Ok, I agree, this is Shales doing, the scanner is unable to detect what it is"
Tech and Skye waited for the man at the back to fire his gun again so that Tech could collect bullets to use for their trap. He opened fire again and Tech created a magnet shield to attract the bullets. By the time the man with the gun finished firing Tech had a handful of bullets.
"Ok, ready?" Tech asked
Skye nodded
They both jumped down and landed on the ground directly in front of the trio
"Well would you look at that, we have company" Spoke the Big guy
"Calm down Rock, they look like they're out of there league" Spoke the Man with the gun
"Do you always have to tell me that Bill" Spoke Rock
"Both of you calm the hell down" Spoke the Snake lady
"Fine, Silvia" They both said
Tech and Skye stood there with the most confused look on their faces while the group of three just kept arguing with each other.
"Ok you lot certainly have some issues, considered seeing a relationship counsellor?" Skye asked in a cheeky tone
"Shut up" Spoke Silvia in a furious tone.
Clearly Skye had hit a nerve
"Now, I suggest you pair leave or you're going to be in serious trouble!" Demanded Bill
"Nope" Tech replied with the one word
"Rock, be our guest and destroy them!" Exclaimed Bill
"Pleasure" Rock replied as he cracked both his knuckles walking towards Skye and Tech
He smashed both his hands into the ground and as soon as he did jagged pillars began rising in the direction of Tech and Skye. They both jumped and continued to do so because of Rock constantly creating the pillars.
"Tech, those bullets you have could be useful right here!" Skye Exclaimed
"Oh"
He opened his palm the bullets that he had attracted were still there. He fired them all over the place hoping that one would hit rock. As Rock was about to punch into the ground again he suddenly stopped
"Cant... Move" Rock said as he fell to the ground
They all noticed a bullet hit his spine and was lodged in there. But something else began to happen, Rock's body was cracking and breaking off as if he wasn't even real. Then it turned to just piles of Rock.
"What the heck?" Skye asked herself
"Ok, now you crossed the line!" Bill exclaimed as he pulled out two revolvers from his pockets and began to open fire on Tech.
Silvia then lunged herself at Skye as she was turning her hand into her sword
Tech's POV
Ok so note to self do not ever do that again. I cannot understand at how Rock just turned into nothing as a result of a bullet hitting his spine
"Come out you stupid Dog!"
Damn it Bill, I'm a Coyote not a dog. This is like the Mastermind Incident all over again, ok so two forty five magnum revolvers. Not very this timeline but I'm guessing something is different about these ones. Oh man that was close, one of his bullets nearly got me, ok so the bullets use explosive rounds, great. I need to get Bill when his guard is down if i can make a big enough off a distraction I can get his guard down long enough to at least knock him out.
"Oh, stop being so chicken boy, face me man to man"
Bill for crying out loud your sounding more like the stereotypical Texan, right time to end this
Normal POV
As Bill kept calling out endless rants about how Tech was a coward and so forth, Tech pulled out his neutron cannon and looked at the street light he was standing under. He gathered the idea that if he could perhaps time the shot of his neutron cannon he could stun Bill long enough to knock him out.
Tech fired his cannon at the street light and burst the bulb open. Bill looked up and the flash of the burst blinded him for a few seconds. Long enough for Tech to take a shot at him with his cannon and blew Bill into the side of a building and knocked him out.
"Get one thing straight Bill, I'm not a dog, I'm a COYOTE!" Tech Exclaimed as he took Bill's Revolvers and then put hand cuffs on him so he couldn't get back up.
'Now to help Skye' Tech said in his head.
Skye's POV
"Come on Child, Give up!"
Silvia world's most talkative person since Duck, She is un-relentless and I don't know how long I can last. Her attacks come way too fast for me to recovery from each one in time. If she touches me with her hands I'll be killed, damn it Tech hurry up.
"Skye, Where are you?"
"I'm by the Fountain, Silvia isn't giving up and I don't know how much longer I can hold out for, hurry"
"Ok, Listen Skye I've got Bill's Revolvers and I also have a Plan"
"Ok I'm all ears but hurry, I can't hold out much longer!"
Ok, so Tech has a plan, I'll give him credit for thinking up on the spot as he usually
takes time.
"Skye, I'm throwing Bill's Revolvers over to you, I'm going to make a distraction and you shoot Silvia, I've changed the ammunition to knock her back"
"Ok, I see them"
I jumped towards the fountain and grabbed a revolver, I hope his plan works
Normal POV
As Skye Jumped into the fountain to grab Bill's revolver, Tech came around the corner
"Hey, Silvia how about you take on someone else!" Tech Taunted Silvia
"Very well, your death wish will be granted!" Silvia said as she slithered towards Tech so fast that he had no time to react.
Silvia whipped her tail around Tech's waste and slowly moved him closer towards her
"Well, you are certainly an interesting being, what a shame that such a person would throw them self away like this" Silvia then put both her hands on Tech's chest. No reaction was occurring
"What! Why are you not paralysed!" Silvia exclaimed as she tried multiple times to paralyse him
"You should know something, I have this ability to quickly regenerate after being killed or seriously hurt and considering your poison only paralyses, it has no effect"
"What!" Silvia Exclaimed
"NOW SKYE!" Yelled Tech
"Bye Bye Silvia" Skye said as she pulled the trigger on Bill's Revolver
As Skye pulled the trigger the bullet came at Silvia with a force so hard Skye lost her footing. The bullet hit Silvia and blew her back into the brick wall of the building she was standing near and letting Tech go as she was blown back.
"You ok?" Skye asked as she ran over to help Tech up
"Yea, I'm fine, Man her tail certainly has a grip" Tech replied has he rubbed his back
They both walked over to Silvia and looked down as she lay on the ground unconscious but still breathing. Skye put some hand covering hand cuffs on her. Like the ones they used with Sypher.
"Well, what do you think they were here for?" Skye asked as she looked around at the damage caused
"I don't know, but I did swipe this off Bill" Tech replied as he held up what appeared to be a data pad.
"What about Rock, shouldn't we try and find out what happened?" Skye asked looking at what remained of him
"I'll take a sample from what remains of him and figure it out when we get back"
Tech walked over to the remains of Rock and what was left, he grabbed a scapple out of his travel kit that he kept in his pocket and took a few samples of what was left of Rock.
"Thank you for freeing me" Tech heard Rock's voice
"Wait, how are you still alive?" He asked
"Skye come over here!"
"What is it?" She asked
"Look" Tech said as he turned over one of rock's remains which was his face
"Do not feel pity, I have been like this for the last one hundred years i have lived, Shale found me and turned me into a weapon" Rock spoke in a peaceful tone as if he felt at peace
"Shale, what can you tell us, what is he up to?" Skye asked
"He plans to start a war, a war which will alter the course of history and I know where he plans to start" Rock Replied
"Where and When?" Tech asked in a respectful tone
"He plans to start from the time you came from 2774 but will be 2775 in a few weeks time, Where, the planes of the 12th" Rock replied
"The planes of the 12th?" Skye asked
"Rock are you absolutely sure he plans to start on the planes of the 12th?" Tech asked in a concerned tone
"Yes, you and I both know what that means, a date I cannot give, but Shale plans to gather every foe he can find who both want you and your friends gone along with any other force" Rock replied
"Now I ask of one request?"
"What is it Rock?" Tech replied
"I wish to be left in peace and some where nice, perhaps the park over there" He nudged his head in the direction.
Tech nodded as he picked him up as Skye followed Rock asked Tech to put him down by the flowers and the other Rocks.
"Thank you Coyote and Wolf, now before you leave I have two more things to tell you"
"Hmm?" Skye asked
"The first one is that we were asked to clear a way to the fountain and break off the top so we could bring it too Shale, the top contains a code which launches a satellite which Shale plans to use a way to open a Rift big enough to take his space ship through to begin the war"
"What is the last thing?" said Tech
"Shales so called Army that he wants to find the Dark Zone only obeys the person who brings them out of Cryo Stasis first. Shale already has a force strong enough to begin the invasion but he plans to create the ultimate army, you must reach the Dark Zone before he can. That Satellite is what he is going to use to get there"
"Rock before we go, I have a question" Skye asked kindly
"What is Wolf?"
"Is there a way for us to get home?"
"Yes, but I fear if you leave this time zone, Shale will hasten his plan" Rock replied he was very cautious
"Bill's data pad, I see you have it, use it, it'll guide you a way to bring your allies to this time and stop Shale, now I must rest, thank you for saving me" Rock replied as he nodded at Tech and Skye as he fell asleep.
"Tech care to explain what the Planes of the 12th are?" Skye asked very hastily
"I will, but we need to get back to the apartment first"
They took off towards the apartment, as Rock watched them go off he whispered a sentence
"Only you can save us, save us all from Shale's impending war"
