Chapter 24

"Did you finish uploading the fake memories into him yet?" Dewey said sinisterly.

"Almost… okay, done." The tech man said.

"Good." Dewey turned to face Renton, "What is your name?"

"Renton Thurston." Renton replied robotically.

"Good. I want you to enter the Gekko-Go by any means and retrieve this girl." Dewey said handed Renton a picture of Eureka. Renton nodded and stuffed it down his pockets.

"Now wait in that room down the hall for your friends to come rescue you."

Renton nodded and walked down the hallway and into the room.

--------------------------

Holland strolled down the hallway. He entered the cockpit room and looked around. Everyone was busy with their own job. "Moondoggie!" He called. "Set course to Morita's laboratory!" Moondoggie nodded and pushed left on the controller. The Gekko-Go immediately responded and shifted left.

"Leader." Woz called, "Call from the Super Izumo."

Holland answered it, "Yeah?"

"I've heard about what happened." Captain Jurgens answered.

"Yeah."

"We're going to come and help you."

Holland laughed, "We'll be done before you get here."

Captain Jurgens scratched his head, "Remember those girls that followed Dewey? Well… they escaped."

"What? How could you?"

"They were put into low security prisons."

Holland sighed.

"Also, Dominick found some evidence that Dewey was using cloning devices."

"What!?!"

Moondoggie yelled across the room, "Morita's Laboratory insight. Landing now!"

Holland sighed again and ended the conservation, "Okay, later then."

The Gekko-Go descended slowly onto the runway. A crew of engineers came out and started loading the DevilFish into the Gekko-Go hanger. Morita greeted Holland and quickly went through the new schematics of the DevilFish.

"I've heard of your situation." Morita started.

"Yeah."
"Anyways, the Devilfish has been repaired and it also has some new features."

"Really?"

"Yeah. The cockpit is much bigger now, its armor was redone, and now, you don't have to be on drugs in order to use it."

"That's good."

"Although, to use its compact drive, you'll have to be on drugs or else it'll be too hard to control."

The Devilfish was finished loading onto the ship. Holland nodded and waved goodbye to Morita.
"Don't trash it up again!" Morita called and waved goodbye.

"Alright let's go!" Holland hollered. The Gekko-Go shot off the runway and headed towards their destination.

One Hour later….

"Hilda and Matthieu, you guys get on your LFOs and come with me. Moondoggie and Ken-Gol, don't let the ship get damaged."

Moondoggie and Ken-Gol nodded, Hilda and Matthieu left for the hanger. Holland was about to leave but Talho grabbed his wrist. She smiled and softly said, "Do you best." Holland smiled, hugged her and left.

Three LFOs shot out from the Gekko-Go; one blue, one orange, and one silver. A trail of green sparks came from them as they flew at the military laboratory. Soon after, ten KLFs took off from the building. "We got company!" Holland yelled from Hilda's and Matthieu's screen. The three LFOs swerved apart and flew at the group of KLFs. Soon, laser blasts and machine gun fire mixed. Hilda spun to the side and dodged a hail of lead. She quickly fired laser blasts at the attackers and took out two KLFs. Pink explosions erupted as Mattheiu blasted two more KLFs. "Holland! Go in, we'll cover you!" Hilda shouted into the camera. Holland quickly navigated the DevilFish directly at the group of KLFs. They fired at him but Holland quickly pulled up, spun forward, and landed behind the group of KLFs. He fired a few laser blasts behind. It tagged the back of three KLFs and caused them to smoke and explode into a cloud of pinkness. Holland crash-landed the Devilfish into the doors of the building. He sprung out from the cockpit and entered through the broken doors. He quickly reloaded his SMG and sprinted through the hallway. He ran into a group of five guardsmen. He did not falter though, and charged straight at them and sprayed fire on them. Within moments, the group was down and each men with a bloody hole in their gut or forehead. Holland rushed on through the hallways pushed through the double doors. He gasped and ran into the room. In the middle of the room was Renton. He just stood and stared at Holland.

"Hey Renton! We're here to bring you back."

Renton nodded slowly. Holland had a strange feeling, Renton did not seem to be his normal self.

Holland looked around the room to ensure it was safe. The big screen on the wall flickered and then Dewey's face appeared.
"Dewey!" Holland gasped.

"Hello Holland."
"How the hell are you alive?"

Dewey laughed and the screen turned dark. "Damn!" Holland thought and grabbed Renton's wrist.

"Let's get out of here!"

The two ran back through the hallway Holland came from. They passed the pile of dead guardsmen and after a few minutes of running, they were back into the DevilFish. All three LFOs quickly retreated to the Gekko-go. Holland, Hilda, Mattheiu, and Renton entered the room next to the kitchen. Everyone of the crew was there and cheered for their return. Talho hugged Holland and quietly whispered into his ears.

Holland looked over at Eureka. She was sitting quietly on the couch with her eyes focused on the floor. Holland nodded and yelled aloud, "Alright, everyone out of the room!" The crew crammed out of the door and left Eureka and Renton alone together. Eureka got up slowly and walked up to Renton.

"Renton?" Eureka asked and stared into his frosty blue eyes.

Renton stared back coldly. Eureka gasped and stepped backwards slowly.

"You're not Renton…"
