CHAPTER 7
THE BATTLE RAGES ON…
Raimundo's confrontation with the army continues as Rai sets his sights on the nearby recon vehicle, quickly transporting men from faraway parts, to close-quarter range. Rai socked the flame vet standing in front of him and began to run towards it. The people driving the recon noticed the interference and began firing their only rear gun. Rai was too quick. He made a leap for the recon, but ended up flat on the ground. Turns out the recon was faster. Lying face-first on the ground, Rai had to get up quickly before the other troops got in range. Inside the church, the priest began the marriage. He had a big booming voice that could be heard from outside. Rai had no chance. Jack had the welcome wagon, and Rai had no plan.
What he DID have was Omi and Clay. Seeing their friend in danger, they quickly jumped into the fray. The troops were caught off guard. The two determined monks were fighting their way towards Rai.
With the little energy he had left, Rai stood himself up and delivered a burst of wind energy to all troops that were running towards him. A total of more than 100 troops were blown away, including a large number of tanks. Seeing that there was not a single man in sight, Rai assumed that it was over and met up with his friends.
"I am most happy to see you standing again, my friend." Omi said.
"You got that right." Clay said. "You looked like a flea going up against a grizzly bear."
"Thanks guys." Rai said. "But we have no time. We've got to get in that church, and stop the wedding!"
"Listen!" Omi said as he put his ear against the door. They all heard the priest say, "If anyone has any reason that these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Rai immediately ran for the door. Bursting in, he yelled, "I object!"
A startled crowd turned to see the guest. Rai had Jack in his sights. He turned and looked at Kim for a moment. He thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. But he didn't have time to stand around and enjoy the scenery.
He leaped on Jack and tackled him to the ground. But something wasn't right. He didn't feel like a real human. He felt… Like metal!
"Wait a sec." Rai said. "You're a robot! That means you're all robots!"
Rai stood up and looked at the crowd. They were beeping and buzzing. So was Kimiko. Suddenly, there was a honking car outside. Rai ran out.
What he saw was something he never wanted to see. A car driving by, with a "Just Married" sign attached to the rear, and Jack Spicer in the back seat, looking at him with a devilish grin. And a girl, in a wedding dress, smiling at him. Rai had been tricked.
END OF CHAPTER
Well, Rai was too late. He was tricked by the devious mind of Jack Spicer. His plan had failed, and he had failed himself. Review please!
