Chapter 9
----------------------------------------------------------
Eureka's POV right after she was kidnapped.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Eureka regained consciousness after being knocked out. Some man dressed in black was carrying her over the shoulder. He was sprinting as quickly as he could. Eureka had a feeling that he was a bad person. Gathering all her strength, she kicked the man between the legs. He toppled over and sent Eureka flying to the ground. The man got back up and yelled, "Smart-ass huh!?" He took out a syringe full of sleeping drugs. He advanced to Eureka. "No!" She yelled and swung her foot at the man's leg causing him to fall over. The man quickly pounced onto Eureka. They struggled for a moment but the man over powered Eureka and stuck the needle into her. Within seconds, she was unconscious. "Where are they taking me…? Where… where… and why…" She thought as she passed out again.
Eureka woke up to find herself in some kind of dark room. She tried to get up but the drugs had made her weak, even worse, she was chained up to the wall. The chains dug into her wrists and caused them to bleed. "My vision…I can't focus it."She thought asshe struggled to get out of the chains. A voice cackled into the air. "So you're awake now huh? Let's see how you like being kicked!" The same man that carried emerged out of the darkness. He chuckled, "I'm so bad, beating up a girl!" and kicked her once on the side causing Eureka to let out a cry of pain. The man let out an evil laugh, "HAHAHA! Who knew kicking you could be so fun!" He began rapidly kicking Eureka. She tried to block with her arms but got them bruised instead. He kicked her arms aside and threw one kick at her face. Blood trickled down from the wounds. Suddenly, the alarm rang. "Damn it, I was having so much fun." He said as he ran out of the room.
Eureka wiped the blood away. Her body hurt all over. She could barely move now. Numbness began to take over her body before she fainted. Eureka could hear a distant voice calling her name. "Eureka! EUREKA! Where are you!?" 'Who is it? Renton?' She thought. The sound of the door being thrown open sounded in her ears. "Eureka, I'm here!" She heard Renton yell. She could feel him hug her. "Renton…" Eureka passed out because it was too much of a strain on her body.
-----------------------------------------
The door swung open. Renton turned around to see who it was. Standing in the doorway was Eureka's tormentor. "Well, well, well… Look at what the cat dragged in. Renton Thurston! Noticed the artwork I done to your girlfriend?" Renton quickly placed Eureka down and examined her closely. He gasped at the various bruises and cuts all over her body. His eyes narrowed, "What did you do to her!?" The man sneered, "Nothing except for kicking her." The comment caused Renton's temper to boil. It was one of the rare moments that he wished for the man to be dead. "Oh, hit a soft spot did I?" The man laughed. Renton could not hold his anger back any longer. He clenched his hands and teeth together and jumped at the man.
The man laughed and kicked Renton, sending him flying backwards. "Dewey will promote me now that I got you two!" The man cackled as Renton flipped back up, "Holland's brother… Isn't he dead?" Renton asked. The man laughed shrilly, "HAHAHA! My master doesn't die that pathetically!" He began to advance on Renton. Renton braced himself, threw out a punch only to have it blocked. The man sent series of powerful blows at Renton. Renton blocked the first few hits. On the sixth blow, however, his arms gave away. The blow hit him straight on the nose and sent him soaring backwards into the wall. Eureka recovered from unconsciousness and looked around. She gasped as the guy held Renton up by the collar. "I must do something!" She thought and drew together all her strength. She quickly got up and charged into the man, causing him to drop Renton. The man recovered from the attack and kicked Eureka back. "Bitch!" The man yelled.
Renton saw his chance to take the person out; he quickly rolled under the man and shoved him against the wall. The man slumped down as his head impacted against the wall with a dull thud. Renton took deep breadths and then ran over to Eureka. "Eureka! Are you ok?" Renton asked.
"I think so… but I can't seem to move."
"Don't worry, I'll get you out of here and back to the Gekko-Go."
He slung Eureka's limp body over his back and walked out into the hallway. The walkie-talkie crackled as Holland's voice sounded, "Hey Renton! Get out of there now! We can't hold much longer!" Renton started running out the place, twisting and turning through the hallway. He just barely turned the corner when bullets whizzed pass him and a voice that called out, "There he is!"
Renton ran and finally reached the entrance where Holland, Mattieu, Hilda, and Hap waited. Behind Renton was a platoon of soldiers charging at full speed. "NOW!" Holland yelled. A rapid beeping followed and then an explosion collapsed the entrance. Everyone ran up to Renton and Eureka, each greeting them in their own way. "You're back in one piece and with Eureka too!" Holland congratulated Renton. Hap observed Eureka a bit, "Whoa, Eureka looks wasted. Anyways, we need to get out of here now!" With that, he led the team around the corner where the two LFOs waited. Matthieu and Hilda brought them there from earlier. Everyone squeezed into the cockpits, leaving Renton and Eureka their own cockpit. They quickly sped off and were out of the city in less than a few minutes. Woz's face appeared on Holland's monitor, "Get out now! They are coming!" Within a few more minutes, everyone was safely on the Gekko-Go ship. The ship blasted off, at full throttle, away from the dreadful city.
