Future Horrors Chapter 9:
Escape from Monster Island
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Nothing." He says, "Ladies first."
"Okay." I say and start to push the door open. Suddenly I feel cold steel pressed against the side of my head. "Wh-what?"
"Quiet." He says. His arm slides around me and holds me against him. Suddenly I feel something cold and sharp pressed against my throat. "Hasn't anyone ever told you not to trust strangers?"
Hearing those words in almost any other situation would have probably sent me to my knees laughing, but in this situation I was terrified. I couldn't speak, and I was trembling. I couldn't even think. That's how scary it was. Then Frost started pushing me inside the door.
"Hold up!" I heard a guard shout from inside the hall.
"It's just me!" Frost yelled.
"Come on in!" the guard yells. Frost walks behind me pushing me forward. Suddenly the guard looks at us and his eyes open wide. "Oh shit man what are you doing?"
"Let me through or the girl dies now!"
"Oh boy the boss isn't gonna like this." The guard says.
"And should I fucking care?"
"Don't man. Calm down. Let her go."
"Fuck off man!"
"Frost just let her go!"
"Back the hell up or I blow her brains out right now!"
"Shit man go on." The guard says.
"Drop your freaking weapon!" Frost yells. The guard drops his weapons and kicks them towards Frost. Frost kicks the weapons behind him and shoots the guard in the head three times. Suddenly several more guards come rushing in.
"Hey what's going…
"Oh shit."
"Drop your weapons and back off or she dies!"
"Man if you kill the girl you will have hell to pay!" one of the guards yell.
"And do I look like I care?" Frost says. "What if I just blow her head off right now?"
"Please don't." I say.
"Shut up!" he says pressing the gun harder against my head. "Just drop your freaking weapons and turn towards the wall!"
"Okay, okay man whatever." One of the guards says. They begin dropping their guns and sliding them in our direction. If I could only reach one I might have a chance. Then the guards begin lining up facing the wall. Frost then puts three bullets in each ones head before pushing me forward again.
After what seems like an eternity Frost opens a door and forces me inside. He quickly shoots a few guards that are waiting inside before forcing me on through the room. He forces me to walk to a cabinet like thing and with one hand he opens the door. Then he releases me.
"Get inside now!" he yells pointing the gun at me. Then he closes the door. I can hear metal rubbing against metal and then silence. I bang on the door and scream and yell but it won't give. Suddenly I hear a lot of gunfire. The gunfire fades off into the distance. I slide down the back of my dark cell and hold my legs close to my chest. He's going to kill me isn't he?
I stop paying attention to the sounds coming from outside. After a while the door to my cell opens. Then I see its him. I scoot against the back of the cell and tremble.
"Rikku calm down." He says. I try to get passed him but he grabs me.
"Let me go, let me go! Just let me go." I say. He pulls me over to him and laughs a little.
"Rikku let me explain." He says. "Our leader doesn't want you harmed. If you were to be killed before the parasite matures, his plan would go to hell. I only took advantage of that to get us in here."
"What?"
"Everyone here knows I have always been a loose cannon. If you were killed our leader would have everyone on the island brutally tortured. He would be extremely pissed. I knew if it came down to the guards out there keeping you safe or letting me through here, they would let me through."
"Why didn't you at least warn me?" I say still shaking.
"If I had of told you my plan, you most likely couldn't show enough fear for the guards to believe you were in danger. If they had of sensed that you weren't scared, I would have been screwed and the parasite inside you would have eventually matured and our leaders plan would have been set into motion. I knew you would be scared if I didn't warn you, and fear is very hard to fake."
"Oh." I say.
"Now calm down."
"I'm trying." I say. After a few minutes I stop shaking.
"Now lay on that table and we will begin." He says. I walk over and lay down on the table feeling uncomfortable. After a few minutes I feel a needle stick into my arm. Moments later I fall asleep.
I wake up on something hard and cold. I feel kind of dizzy. Something warm is pressing against my wrist and I open my eyes. I see Auron standing beside of me… wait a minute its not Auron its Frost. I look over at him.
"The parasite is gone." He says folding his arms.
"So it worked?" I ask.
"Yep." He says. He moves some kind of machine over me and pulls a monitor close enough so that I can see. I see some kind of scan of my insides, down my legs, and then in my head. There isn't anything that looks like a parasite on the monitor anywhere. I turn and jump up off of the table. Suddenly the dizziness is worse. He helps me back down. "You will be dizzy for a while though. Rest here for a moment and then get up slowly."
I sit and sit and sit, before finally getting up very slow. He instructs me to walk around for a few minutes and after a while the dizziness leaves. The Frost walks over to a shelf and breaks the glass. He reaches in and grabs a small vial with something in it and he looks in it. I begin loading all my guns and watching him take care to make sure the vial is wrapped up, and carefully deposited into his pocket before he joins me in loading guns.
"What's in the vial?"
"I'll tell you later." He says smiling. We walk outside of the room and he leads me down several halls pointing out what room is what. Then we walk into an armory.
"Why did you get all those guns and leave them somewhere out there if this place has an armory also."
"Simple, the more stuff we take from them, the less of it they will have." He says grinning. He walks in and grabs a few more bags before filling them with ammunition and guns. "How many bags can you carry at a time?"
"Two maybe." I say. He hands two to me and grabs several and fills them full of everything he can. Then we leave. I start to head back out the way we came but he stops me.
"We leave this way." He says and leads me through the hall and several doors. After a few minutes we make it to a large garage like room with a big tank sitting in the middle. "I think this is our ride."
"What!" I say, "We are riding out of here."
"Yep." He says. "This, is our compounds only armored vehicle. It can withstand almost anything… well except for a rocket. It can hold up to twelve passengers with ease and up to several tons of weapons."
"Okay…
"It has a heavy machine gun and a rocket launcher attached."
"Okay…
"And since we can carry as many weapons in this thing as we want, I think we should take everything." He says.
"What!"
"You heard me." He says and opens the side door tossing in his bags. I put mine in and for the next hour we load the tank up with everything inside of this places armory. He then tells me to wait inside the tank while he goes back and grabs the weapons he left before we entered the base. I think he is a greedy fellow, but I do see his point.
Moments later he starts the tank up. "Looks like we are out of here. Hope you can fire that big machine gun over there."
"Don't worry about me just drive." I say. I climb the small ladder and sit down in the seat behind the big machine gun. Suddenly we are moving and then plowing through some kind of wall. I watch my surroundings ready to fire the machine gun. After several minutes of rolling down a street with some pretty weird looking buildings I see a crowd of guards standing in the road way yelling and pointing at us. I begin firing the gun at the crowd. The noise from the gun is almost deafening. I fire and fire and fire. Barely aiming and taking down a guard here and there. Most of them scatter, a few that doesn't end up getting mowed down by the tank.
After several minutes a large truck pulls in front of us. "I thought you said this was the compounds only vehicle?"
"I said it's the compounds only armored vehicle. Shoot it, see what happens." He says. So I begin shooting at it. After a minute or so the truck bursts into flames before exploding. We move past it and into another street. "Try shoot through the windows of some of the buildings!"
"Okay." I say and begin shooting through the windows. After several minutes I start shooting the guards in out path.
"Here." He yells. I look down and he is holding a handgun up to me. "Whenever one of the guards manages to climb on here shoot it off."
"Yes sir." I say. After a while we stop.
"Get down here." He says. I jump down and look at him. He is holding a large shell of some kind and loading it into a big barrel. I pick another one up and hold it. He fires the first one and loads the second one. After several minutes of shooting the rockets he stops and looks out. "Looks like we blew that wall into pieces!"
"Yes." I say. He sits back down and begins driving through the blown up wall. Seconds later I see Auron, Yuna and Tidus all firing handguns at us and backing away. Suddenly something hits us from behind and we go toppling forward. The tank flips over and begins rolling. I grab onto the seat Frost is sitting in and hang on. Then we stop.
Frost stands and kicks the door open. I walk out first. "Guys don't shoot! It's me!" I yell.
"Rikku?" Auron says. I step out into sight then.
"Rikku watch… Suddenly I am being pushed forward and I hit the ground hard. Then something explodes.
