Bringing the Fight Home – Part 1

Sorry its been such a long time, stuff happened. Well here it is anyway

Back in terminal City...

Everyone had returned to Terminal city, including Lydecker and even White as much as he hated the idea he had, had to go for his own safety . They were trying to get back to normal, well as normal as a bunch of genetic freaks living in the middle of Seattle can. They hadn't however forgotten about the familiars. One day they would be coming to take them out, and they would be waiting.

Max was walking home from work with Original Cindy, Sketchy and Herbal "So Boo, whats the dealio with you and Normal? He just ignores you and lets you do as you want girl, while he is Bip, Bip Bippin us and throwing packages in our faces"

"yea, Did you sleep with him or something so he would go easy on you" Sketchy joked

"As much as we all hate delivering packages, no one in their right mind would even touch Normal, right Boo?" Max blushed a little

"Cindy is right. A brother should not speak of things so unholy, it makes you want to die inside"

"Yeah" Max Mumbled "Ive gotta go over to Terminal city so I'll see you guys Later ok" She made an attempt to try change the subject

"K Boo, you coming to Crash later?" Cindy asked

"Yea, sure" Max waved

Max headed over to Terminal City to see how everything was going. The first thing she did was go see Joshua as she knew exactly where he would be. She made her way over to Sandemans makeshift lab where he had been working non-stop for the past week. She walked in to Find Joshua at Sandemans side "Hey Josh" She Greeted

"Little fella!" Joshua hugged max

"Ive got you some more painting supplies" She handed a bag over to Joshua.

"Ah good, now you can finish that painting you were doing for me" Sandeman smiled

"Max, Father has almost finished he just needs to take out tiny creatures and change.." Joshua had confused himself and looked at Sandeman to finish explaining. Joshua had been asking Sandeman what he was doing. He had tried his best to explain it in terms that Joshua would understand

" I need to Extract the strand of DNA and manipulate the base pairs then inject it back into a host. I should be finished in a couple of hours" Max got a basic Idea of he was talking about.

"I'm going to see Zack, you want to come?" Max asked Joshua

"Just put these away, be there in 5 minutes"

Zack wasn't in his room so Max went to the 'rec room'. They had recently put in a pool table and Mole and Alec were hell bent on getting a bar in there too. The first person she saw there was Alec.

"Hey Alec I'm going over to crash Later, you wanna come?"

"Sure Maxie, but you better ask Alec yourself"

"Ben!" Max hit him across the head playfully. Alec appeared from around the corner "Hey Maxie!"

Max looked at them both. The only way to tell them apart was the hair, Bens was a little longer "No you're Alec!" they both switched sides

"uhh!" Max hit the both once more

"aww don't be so mean to her" Zack said with fake sympathy placing his hand on her shoulder "And are you not gonna ask me if I want to come"

"Thats, what i came here for, so i guess you are all coming then"

"Yea" they all said at once

"Count me in too" Mole shouted who had just appeared

Max turned around "I don't think that is such a good idea mole" Sure, all transgenics were supposedly 'free' citizens but that didn't mean society accepted them. They were still freaks, and people still feared and hated them. The last time Mole had left Terminal city he had returned with a bullet in his arm, he still refused to tell anyone how it happened.

"Sure it is" Mole defended "We have a deal with uncle Sam remember? We help the military and they let us walk on their soil" Mole took another puff from his cigar "I'm coming weather you like it or not, and so is Dix"

"I don't know" Dix mumbled

"Yes you do, you're coming" Mole ordered

Joshua had just arrived"I'm going too " He said with a huge grin

"Fine" Max resigned Just as White and Lydecker burst in

"We need to talk now!, get yourselves to the command center" Lydecker ordered

Alec pushed Them both aside "It will have to wait, were going to crash"

"No" Lydecker started but Alec slammed the door on him muffling his shouting.

The transgenics walked down the dark street to the door of crash. Max opened the door slightly and glared at Alec Ben and Mole.

"What?" They all said

"Just don't"

"Don't what?" Ben asked innocently

"I don't know, but you always do something, so don't do it" They thought it would be best if they didn't answer back.

They walked into Crash to find Cindy, Herbal, Sketchy and Logan sat at a table in the back corner waiting for them. "Hi" Sketchy greeted.

The whole bar then froze when they saw Mole, Dix and Joshua, the 'freaks' that had just entered the bar. Low whispers and grunts could be heard echoing around the bar. Almost all of the customers left through the back door, avoiding the transgenics. There was just a couple in the corner and a group of bikers at the other side of the room that didn't leave. The barman said nothing but looked very cautious. Cindy, Sketchy and Logan were shocked to see them out side of terminal city, but they knew they would do no harm, especially Joshua. Herbal looked a little scared, but if they were friends of Alec and Max they must be good people. They all took a seat and Logan and Zack went to the bar to get drinks for everyone. Even Normal turned up to see everyone and ask how Gem, and her baby were doing hell he even bought a round of drinks. Zack had called a few people from Terminal City to come down, and before they knew it the place was packed with transgenics from Terminal city and all around Seattle. Even ray, the barman had ended up sitting with them laughing and joking into the night. His bar had never being so full. It was the best night they had all had for a very long time.

When they got back to Terminal City Lydecker and white were waiting at the front gate for them, Lydecker exploded "where the hell did you go. I said we need to speak get to the command center Now!"

In the command center White and Lydecker had pinned maps and charts pinned all over the walls "They're coming" Lydecker simply stated, there was no need for him to explain who 'they' were everyone on the room knew he meant the familiars

"And how do you know that smart ass?" Mole grunted

"I still have access to their communication network" White answered "they are planning an all out assault tomorrow night at 11:00 to kill every one of you"

"They think that they will catch us off guard, but we will be ready and waiting for them. Here" Lydecker took over and pointed at a map "Is their battle plan" The map showed that they were going to come in though every entrance and surround them all. "I know it doesn't look good but I have drawn up a battle plan of my own"

Lydecker pointed at another map "We divide into teams, one team at each gate. They won't be expecting us to be prepared so we should be able to take them"

There was silence few a few seconds "seriously, is that the best you can come up with Lydecker" Mole almost laughed. He pulled it off the wall and spread it out over a table. Ben, Zack, Mole, Alec, Max and Logan huddled around it.

"We are going to be surrounded, I don't see what else we can do other than running" Lydecker shouted.

"You always taught us to make he best of the situation, turn a disadvantage into your advantage. Age must be creeping up with you old man" Max tormented

"And thats exactly what we are going to do" Zack added "We surround them in the middle of TC" Everyone looked a little confused " When they come a few of us can lure them into the middle and let them think that they have us we can escape through the sewers then weld them shut. Then everyone can come in and surround them they will have nowhere to run" Zack began to draw lines all over the map

"As for everyone else we can post snipers around the perimeter. We will need plenty of guards around the Command center. We will need a medical station setting up as well, and plenty of guards for that"

Lydecker pushed his way in "We could set up some explosives, once you round them up in the middle we could set them off killing every familiar in the area. We would have a lot less casualties as well because we wouldn't have to go in, we can set the explosives off remotely from the command center"

"You haven't lost it completely then old man" Mole grunted

"Lydecker ignored Mole "We still have one problem. White and I have looked through the weapons inventory, there is nowhere near enough guns, and lord knows where we can get some C4 explosives White and i still have some connections, so we can get a few extra guns, that that still won't be enough"

"I can probably take care of the rest" Logan offered

"And where are you going to get weapons from Cale?" White spat

"You're not the only one with connections"

"We can take care of the explosives" Alec grabbed Ben and pulled him out the door "Tell Leyland were taking his truck" he shouted over his shoulder.

TBC...

Thanks for reading. Please review ;)

......"Come on. We've gotta go save Alec and his wonderful brother"

"the detonator is jammed. Someone needs to go out there and set it off manually"

"Logan you need to get up" "Joshua I can't, Im not gonna make it either way"Logan looked at the pool of blood pouring out of him" Joshua picked up the shotgun "No! Logan's not gonna die!"

The whole city vibrated "There is no way anyone could survive that"

"Theres more of them?" "Not quite, there is more, but they're not 'them' Lydecker chuckled
