Core's Energy Fields…
09:09 till Earth impact…
A large group of Quantum Splinter Bots were walking down the corridors of the Core towards where Ryan and Kimiko were walking from. They all stopped and looked forward as they heard their quick footsteps heading towards them.
"Okay Quantum Splinter Bots" said Guardian Angel's voice over their built-in radios, "Your targets are Ryan Young and Kimiko Tohomiko, do not let them pass at all costs, you have permission to use maximum firepower, use any means necessary"
"Affirmative" said the lead Quantum Splinter Bot in a monotone voice, "Initiating maximum energy mode"
There was the sound of metal guns loading and melee weapons being prepared.
"Wait until I give the signal" said the lead Quantum Splinter Bot "Target must be exterminated"
"Hold up" said Kimiko's voice from around the corner, "I hear something…"
"What?" said Ryan as they both skidded to a halt.
"I don't know" said Kimiko "Sounded like…Metal…"
"Metal?" said Ryan. She said nothing as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Well whatever it is" said Ryan "We got to get moving, we haven't got long till we hit Earth"
They both turned the corner and skidded to a halt again as they saw that the pathway was blocked by a lot of Quantum Splinter Bots.
"Uhh…Ryan?" said Kimiko as they all turned to look at her and Ryan, "What are they?"
Their eyes began to glow red as they slowly began to walk towards them, Ryan and Kimiko nervously took steps back as they saw how many there were.
"Quantum Splinter Bots…" said Ryan "Upgraded versions of Jack's Splinter Bots…Super fast, super strong, super smart…"
He felt Kimiko move closer to him as they backed to the wall. The Quantum Splinter Bots got near them, but then stopped and stood there. They could hear each others hearts beating wildly in their chest.
"What do we do?" said Kimiko "We're wasting time here!"
Ryan looked around. In the wall was another set of pipes that they could fit behind.
"Hold on…" said Ryan as he gripped her arm. She held on to his arm securely.
"Exterminate!" said the lead Quantum Splinter Bot. Suddenly all the robots came to life and aimed their weapons at them. Ryan immediately pulled Kimiko and dived into a gap that leads behind the pipes. Kimiko and Ryan hugged each other as the robots blasted the pipes with as much fire power as they could muster, the sound of gun fire was deafening. After awhile, they held their fire; the silence that followed was eerie.
Ryan opened his eyes and looked around, the surrounding pipes were filled with holes, and luckily Ryan managed to get him and Kimiko to where the pipes were thick enough to provide some protection. He looked at himself and Kimiko, he sighed with relief to see both of them weren't hit.
"Kimiko" whispered Ryan "Are you okay?"
Kimiko opened her eyes and looked at him; she smiled when she saw that they were okay.
"I think I'm okay…" whispered Kimiko "But what do we do about those robots?"
Ryan looked peeked out from behind their cover; beyond the Quantum Splinter Bots he could see the energy arcs of the last energy field.
"We're almost there…" whispered Ryan "We just got to get past these guys"
"Err…How?" whispered Kimiko "We have no Wu, no weapons…"
"We got these…" whispered Ryan as he took her hands in his, Kimiko looked up at him.
"Do you think so?" whispered Kimiko, Ryan smiled as he nodded.
"Okay…" whispered Kimiko "Three…"
"Two…" whispered Ryan.
"One…" said both of them together, "Now!"
They both barrel rolled out from the cover, surprising the robots.
"YAH!" yelled Kimiko as she thrust her arms forward, sending a bolt of fire forward. It hit the robots, sending some falling to the ground. Upon seeing this, they all turned towards her and proceeded to blast her.
"TERIAAAA!" roared Ryan as he shot towards the robots, his feet buzzed with electricity as his kick pierced their armour.
"Exterminate!" said the robots together as they aimed their guns at them.
"Thunder Flare!" yelled Ryan and Kimiko together as they both unleashed a blast of fire and thunder. It shot through the robots, knocking them to the ground one by one. When the blast died down, Kimiko groaned as she collapsed and fell into Ryan's arms.
"Heh…" said Kimiko weakly, "We showed them…"
"Sorry about that…" said Ryan "As I'm Singala now, I used more power than you, and your body's not used to it yet"
Kimiko smiled as she got back to her feet, but gasped as the rest of the robots came stomping towards them.
"Okay" said Ryan as he narrowed his eyes at them, "No more Mr. Nice guy…We have no more time to lose…Let's go!"
Ryan and Kimiko walked towards the robots as they advanced on them. As soon as Ryan was within range of the first robot, he swung his hand forward, thrusting the robot back into the robots behind it. Kimiko got to her first robot and leapt up onto the wall, she ran across it and as soon as she was in line with the robot, she jumped towards it. As she flew through the air, she kicked its head hard, bits of metal rained down onto the floor as her flaming foot went through the robot's head. There was a clunk as Kimiko landed on the metal floor, and a loud thud as the robot collapsed on the floor. Ryan leapt towards the next robot and drove his foot into its chest; he then brought his other foot up and kicked it hard on the underside of its head with an electrified kick.
"Ryan!" cried Kimiko "Look out!"
Ryan spun around and saw that a robot had loaded its weapon and was about to unleash another blast of bullets.
"Whoa!" gasped Ryan. The robot fired bullets at him, but he was too quick for him. He lent backward as the bullets whizzed over his head. By focusing his mind; he was able to see where each bullet was coming from and where it was going. It seemed that time had slowed down for him so he could acrobatically flip backwards, narrowly evading each and every bullet.
"Does not compute!" said the robot as its head began to shake, "Chances of evading every shot is a million to one: impossible! Does not compute!"
"Nether does this!" said Ryan as he leapt at the robot. He wrapped his legs around the robot's neck; he then fell back as if he was doing a back flip. He flung the robot over and slammed it on the ground, smashing it to bits.
"Wow!" said Kimiko "How did you do that? I mean a million to one of evading those bullets?"
"Must be my new Singala skill…" said Ryan "It wasn't too hard, all I did was focus my mind and…Look out!"
Kimiko immediately spun around and in a split reaction she leapt into the air above the robot that was attacking her. Suddenly, Kimiko feels like time has slowed down; see feels like she could see her and the robot from a different point of view. She grinned as she looked down at the robot. She suddenly felt reality come back as time sped up again. Kimiko brought her flaming foot down on the robot, cutting it in half.
"Nice one" said Ryan.
"It was weird" said Kimiko "It's like…everything slowed down…"
They looked behind them, they had managed to fight their way past the robots and they were now chasing them.
"Master Fung said if you focus your mind, it seems that time slows down" said Ryan as they both sped up, "It allows you to think and react faster"
"Look!" said Kimiko as she pointed ahead, "The last energy field!"
They both ran at top speed as they dived into the energy field, Ryan quickly grabbed the door switch and pulled it down. There was a loud thud as the heavy metal door closed, separating the rest of the robots from Ryan and Kimiko.
"Phew…" gasped Ryan as he gasped with relief, "That was a close one…"
"You can say that again…" gasped Kimiko as she got to her feet, "You know, you were really good back there"
"You too babe" said Ryan as he got to his feet, "I put in good word for Master Fung when it comes to the other three Singala promotions"
Kimiko smiled as she took his in hers.
"Come on" said Ryan "We got to shut down this energy field; we haven't got much time left…"
Kimiko nodded in agreement as they both ran off at top speed. Luckily, there was a platform that leads across the energy field that was shielded from the energy arcs. Once they crossed it, Kimiko found the "DO NOT TOUCH" switch again and pulled it down.
"There!" said Kimiko as she dusted her hands, watching the energy field power down, "Done!"
"Now what?" said Ryan. Suddenly, red sirens began to wail. They both clutched their ears as the sound echoed in their heads.
"WARNING! WARNING!" said a voice "ENERGY FIELDS HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED! INITIATING EMERGENCY CORE VENTILATION!"
There was a hissing noise as a door opened up, revealing a large pipe with very fast flowing water in it.
"Here we go Kimiko!" called Ryan over the sound of the water, "This is the fast water ride that Chase said will take us to the core"
"Okay!" called Kimiko as she held onto his hand, they both held their breath as they leapt in. As soon as they touched the water, they were immediately swept apart.
"Kimiko!" cried Ryan as he franticly looked for her, but the current was too strong. All he could do was hold his breath and hope that he would see her on the other side.
I f you don't know what the bit with the leaning back dodging bullets bit and leaping up into the air and having everything freeze bit is from, you deserve to be shot. And good news, if you want to see 3D (That's right, 3D!) images of The Sword of the Tempest, The Wing's of Hurican or the Tesla Dynamo, check out my DA site! I also would like to say that my forth story (Dawn of Legends) is in the works and I should have at least 20/25 chapters written by the end of this story. R&R everyone!
