A/N Listen up all you killjoys out there I hope you liked that last chapter, it was fun to write and I had to make that one up as I went because that chapter wasn't in the original story I had wrote on my phone before putting it on the computer so sorry if it seemed kinda rushed.

We're back from to our normal Party Poisons POV now! Enjoy

Chapter 9

Party poisons POV

We've finally made it to the city. We decided a while back to keep the car hidden outside the city so we didn't draw to much attention to ourselves. Nervous energy buzzes in the air between us all, we're all worried about having unexpected encounters with Dracs, SCARECROWS, or anyone else from the SCARECROW unit. At least the Exterminators stay around BL/inds headquarters…

I almost feel like I should say some odd, heroic speech, but that's not who I am. That's not what this is about, were not heroes, we are here right now to get Kobra and Ghoul back and that's all that matters. Instead I turn to the group of Killjoys, Jet Star Crash Kat and Dark Memento, who were all making sure they had their necessary stuff.

"Alright," I say, grabbing my yellow ray gun out of my holster, "Who's ready to beat the living shit outta some Dracs and get back Kobra and Ghoul?"

They turn to me, all smiling.

"Let's go!" Jet says in response and starts to run toward the city. We all follow him, turning to run into a walk as we begin to see people milling around.

"Stick to the side streets." Dark says as we near the buildings lining the streets.

"Nah I thought we'd just walk right to the Dracs. Maybe even ask em to take us straight to Better Livin HQ." I say back sarcastically, trying to stay lighthearted to fight back my nerves. We walk a little ways before seeing our first Dracs; we immediately turn down a different road. A billboard is visible about one of the buildings and it takes only a millisecond to realize what's on it. Our faces are plastered to the huge board, the red Xs run over our faces with the word EXTERMINATE at the bottom. I smirk at the poster, looks like we're still most wanted.

"Nice wanted sign." Crash says next to me, she had left Darks side which was almost surprising.

"Thanks, designed it myself."

"Yea right, that must be Kobra and Ghoul then." She points at their faces.

"Yeah."

"Cool." She says back then goes back by Dark.

After a while of walking a something happens that hasn't really happened in a while. I get a strong urge to just sing, to start yelling out my own lyrics for everyone to hear. I haven't actually sung for anyone but the guys occasionally since before the bombing. I shake my head a little, sing it for the world. But the lyrics start to just come out. Very quietly so no one will hear me I start to sing a song that hasn't been sung in a while.

"Do or die, you'll never take me.

Because the world, will never take my heart.

Go and try, you'll never break me.

We want it all, we want to play this part.

I won't explain, or say I'm sorry."

I stop then seeing Dark raise a brow at me. I smile at the ground, remembering the times when we'd go on stage and just rock our hearts out. I miss it, having all that excited energy and not even caring about what people think and just going for it on stage, Ghoul playing the shit out of his guitar and Jet ripping it with his solos, Kobra backing everything up with his bass, me singing my heart out. That was the good times, when we were all together and everything was okay, we could just forget it all and rock out. Now we have BL/inds with the Helium wars and all their damn miracle pills.

A small yell snaps me out of my thoughts. We had turned down a narrow, abandoned road where we were safe from all the people: or so we thought. A man had just stepped into our view, blocking our path. Shit

"Keep running killjoys." He growls, taking a step toward us.

"Stay there and we won't hurt you." I say back, resisting the urge to grab my gun.

"You liars, I know who you are. I'm turning you in. You know what I could do with all those Carbons." He shouts then laughs, "Government traitors!" he yells the last part then runs at us, holding out a knife.

"Shit, run!" I yell out, we all turn and start to run back down the road. I realize that if we keep going we'll run right into the Dracs.

"wait!" I say, hoping they'll stop fast enough.

"Shit Party, what do ya mean stop!" Jet yells but I quickly see that they had stopped. I pull out my gun and shoot at the ground in front of the man's feet. Just a warning shot.

"Don't move!"

"I don't think so!" he yells and lunges at crash, grabbing her and putting an arm around her neck, the knife hovering by her side. Shit.

"Let her go!" Dark yells as Crash struggles against the man's grip. We have to do something and soon, now that he has Crash we can't shoot him without getting her too.

"I'm taking her with me!" He laughs again, tightening his grip.

"I don't think so." I say and look straight at Crash and mouth the word Foot. She looks confused at first but then realization spreads across her face. She slams her food down hard on his, the kicks him in the knee cap.

"Crash run!" Dark yell as the man's grip falters and his hands drop to his foot. She runs back over to us, not stopping until she's right next to Dark who protectively puts his arms around her. He lifts up his gun and shoots him in the leg crash didn't kick.

"We warned you." Jet yells as we run past the man who yells out in pain.

"You alright Crash?" I ask, we continue to run until the man's out of sight.

"Yeah, I think so." She says back, looking a little shaken up.

"Good." I say, "I don't think any of us even expected that, but on the bright side we're almost to Better Living HQ. That means we're going to need a plan on how to get in."

Jet speaks this time.

"Ghouls told me that there's Drac's guarding all the door, which is to be expected, but I think we can easily enough kill a few and steal their uniforms, they have those masks which will hide out faces so we can sneak in. We'll just have to stay out of the way to not seem suspicious."

I nod; it seems like a pretty good plan, I hope it works.

"Let's do it then." I say looking at him.

"Great. We should probably be to HQ either tonight or early tomorrow as long as there's no other problems."
