Chapter 2 – Jet Star
We followed Poison around to the back of the diner where three other guys were stood. They were dressed in almost the same clothes. The closes one to me had dark hair that fell to his shoulders. His jacket was also black, like mine, with a few yellow stripes on the shoulders and a logo of a green face with an X through the left eye. Smiling, he turned to us.
"The Diamond Sisters return!" He clapped.
"Not exactly, their memories were wiped, just like we expected." Poison sighed, "But it should all come flooding back to them in a few days."
"Ah, well until you remember who I am, call me Fun Ghoul." The guy that was stood near me said, "This is Kobra Kid" Ghoul finished, waving his hand over to the guy stood next to him. The guy in question turned around, his face fixed into a crown. His hair was blonde and shorter at the sides and he was wearing a red jacket with a snake's head on the back. Before turning back to continue working on a motorbike, he gave us a little wave.
"And this is-"Ghoul started before Lucy cut him off.
"Jet Star." She said. She must have been right because all four men turned around in surprise. I was guessing that the man Lucy had just mentioned was the one stood furthest away, he was the only one that hadn't been named before now. He had a huge afro and a black jacket. Even his sunglasses were darkened.
"Yea, I'm Jet Star." He said, "Looks like Juicy's finally getting her memory back!"
I stood there staring at the men. Surely if Lucy was getting her memory back, I would be too.
"Well come on, we'll take you somewhere safe on the bikes so we can train you how to shoot." Ghoul said, helping me onto the back of his motorbike. A wave of fear washed over me as he started the engine and I clutched onto his waist for dear life. To my left, Lucy was sat with Kobra Kid. Drifting for miles, we eventually came to a stop in a completely barren patch of desert.
"All right. Let's get this straight. We are only training for a quarter of an hour. When you leave these bikes, you will stand over there and wait. I do not want this training turning sour." Jet Star sang, making the others laugh. Dismounting the bike, walked over to where he had motioned before Poison began to tell us about the weapons wed be using.
"These were your guns, you designed them yourselves before you lost your memory and I picked them up near where I found you both. The trigger is here..." he pointed, "and usually these guns will stun your opponent. However, if you shoot them from a very close range, it could kill them. Luckily, we've modified these guns for the purpose of this training. If you were to shoot me now, the worst that would happen is that I'm paralysed for a few hours." He finished as he threw us our weapons and somehow, surprisingly, we had caught them.
"NO!" Lucy gasped before falling to the floor, clutching her head in pain.
Her past returned.
