The sun was going to set soon, it was still bright, but the sun was being pulled toward the horizon, it was going to be dark soon but there was no need to rush. I knew Dirk and Roxy would never be able to find me, but I was also tired, sore, and still sick with my migraine and sore throat. I felt miserable, wanting to be in bed at home, but I must have stumbled somewhere else and got lost. Oh jeez, how am I going to get home now? I sighed, carrying on down the street of what looked like town, but it wasn't familiar to me. There's probably a store or restaurant around here, I could use a pay-phone with whatever money I have in my skirt pocket. My Dad's going to be mad when he hears this one, he was barley able to swallow the last incident with Dirk, let alone one where he chloroformed me and took me to his apartment. There's no doubt he'll get in trouble for this one, I'm sorry Roxy, but I can't just let this happen.
"Need a ride?" I looked up to see car slowly driving by me, I tried to see who was int he car, but the man and the other three gentlemen were covered up in coats and hats. Oh jeez . . . not this, not now. "N-no thank you." I picked up my pace, they did the same. "Oh come on, you seem to be lost. Someone as pretty as you could be abducted." I shook my head.
"No thank you!" I started to run, going at full speed down the road. At first, I thought they would leave me alone, but I heard a car rev up and speed. I looked back to see the black car catching up to me pretty quickly, making me scream as my paced picked up somewhat. "Grab her!" One screamed as the sound of a door opened. With another glance behind, I could see the car door open, it felt like everything was over for a second. My feet stumbled on an item, with a hop or two to help me stand, I turned to see a silver pipe lying on the side by the garbage can. And with those creeps closing in fast, I reacted quickly.
With a grab of the pipe and a firm stand, the creep hanging out of the car leapt for me. Getting a face full of led that pulled him out of the car. The moment of the creep even pulled me a bit, pushing me down, but not knocking me out. I grabbed the pipe again, taking my stand to face the creep who fell out. His coat covered his body as his back was facing me, "Stay away from me!" I yelled, backing up a bit. He turned, his hat no longer on top of his head, showing a jet black dome of a head, turning some more to show two white eyes. He looked like something of a mechanical beetle, not being human at all, but taking somewhat of a form of a human. It frightened me to the point of stunning me, "Wha-what are you?!"
"Get her!" a voice behind me commanded, with a turn, I saw more of them coming, looking just like the first, but one big and bulky, one short, and one skinny. All taking out blunt objects, my fingers tightened around my pipe, positioning myself to see both out of the corner of my eye. They charged at me, all of them at once, with a stroke of luck, I dodge them all, hitting one over the head. It sent a tone of positivity through me, maybe I can defend myself! They all charged again, me dodging one of their attempts to hit me, getting hit once on the back, and managed another clog to the head. It went like this for another minute, but one finally smacked the pipe out of my hand, and another socking me across the face, sending me to fall. "Finally!" One groaned through what sounded like gritted teeth. I looked up after hitting the ground, seeing four black figures standing before me, what will they do to me now?
One kicked me, then another, then another, and another until all four were kicking me everywhere. Right from the top of my head down to my legs. I cried for them to stop, pleading forgiveness but none of them were letting up. I started to cry, warm tears pouring out of my eyes as they relentlessly attacked me with no mercy. Finally, they stopped, one picking me up by wrapping one hand around my neck and forcing me to stand up. There was no energy left in my tattered body to even fight him, I just let my body flop in hopes he would let go.
My eyes opened, but most of it was blurry from my glasses being kicked off. I'm not sure if they're even in good shape anymore, what else is going to happen? "Janey!" A familiar female voice yelled.
"Ro-Roxy?!" I cried, feeling the grip tighten around me. "Let go of her you son of a bitch!" There was a jolt and both me and the man had fell, there was a hand grabbing at my hand as the arm around my neck tightened to a choking point. I started to gag causing the hand to pull me harder. "Get the fuck off her!" There was a loud thud, releasing the grip around my neck. "Janey! Janey Come one!" The hand tugged at me, pulling me in the direction of Roxy's voice. "Dirk come on! I have Jane!"
"Hold on Roxy!" Dirk grunted.
"Come on Jane, stand right here." She positioned me on a platform, letting go for a second before slipping my glasses back on. The world became clear once again as the battle scene was shown right in front of me, Dirk, with a katana was slicing around, only cutting the foes as they launched themselves at him. Roxy was observing me at this moment, touching my arms and body, "DIRK SHE'S BLEEDING PRETTY BADLY GET YOUR FUCKING STRIDER ASS ON THIS FUCKING BOARD!" She screamed, sending a jolt through me. Dirk responded immediately, backing quickly toward us until he was standing on the board. Kicking it into gear, making it levitate a few inches off the ground. "Jane grab onto me." I was in too much of a state of shock to react, still staring at his slightly blooding katana and angry men. "Jane!" Dirk commanded once again, getting a little shove from Roxy to lurch forward and grab onto Dirk's waist, Roxy grabbed onto me and we were off before anyone could reach us. Flying high above the trees and into the now setting sun, bringing orange and pink into the sky.
