PWhew chapter 21! It seems like just yesterday I was writing the previews. I already have this story, the next story, and like... A few scenes from others. Review and take the poll!
Lilly was done assessing Agent M. on her firing skill. She rated a 89/100. Very good for a grappling hook user.
"So will I do?"
"Yeah." Lilly answered. "We'll head out once I can tell G that we're going. And I have to get the guns."
"Cool." They teleported back to the HQ.
"Ah, Agents. How did things go?" G asked when the two agents walked through the metal doors of the agency.
"Great. She got an 89." Milli smiled at the comment.
"I never thought I'd do so good." She exclaimed.
"We'll be heading out any minute, G."
"Ok guys. But, before you go, I have to warn you. With the few days that the Nanobots have been here, 40 penguins were injured and 12 hospitalized. It's a very dangerous task." G cautioned.
"Ok." The two girls said simultaneously.
Lilly was getting the guns ready while Milli was practicing her aim with her grappling hook.
"Hey." Jet said walking over to her from behind.
"Hi." She sighed turning around.
"You sure you want to so this?" He put his hands on her sides and she put her hands over his.
"Yeah. I have to... I have no choice." She flicked a piece of hair out of her face. He kissed her forehead where the piece of har had once fell.
"Be careful put there. I..don't want anything to happen to you." He thought about pulling out the ring then and there, but he still wanted to get the blessing from her father. He knew that would be special to her. She hugged him and sighed. He hugged her tighter.
"I'm so tired of this." She whispered. "Why couldn't it have ended with the Protobot?"
"Uhg I don't know honey. It'll be over soon."
"I hope so." She paused. "I gotta go babe. I'll see you later." She said kissing him on the cheek.
"Be safe!" He called after her. She smiled to herself as she ran out the door, Milli trailing behind her.
The Nanobots crowded the plaza. They were holding penguins, punchin them, there were even a few injured or possibly dead penguins were laying around. Blood stained small spots in the snow.
"Who do we shoot?" Milli asked.
"Anyone who is strangling penguins."
"Got it." They both reloaded their guns and took some shots Milli missed one, but luckily she found the bullet and was able to reuse it. Lilly ran towards a robot. One popped out of nowhere, sticking its arm out, causing her to fall over after getting hit in the chest. She coughed and a little blood came out. Luckily it was just a cut in the back of her mouth. Milli went to help her up, the same robot punched her. Lilly eventually got up and shot the robot.
Another one saw her take the shot and attacked her. It strangled her from behind and started using the sharp metal edges on its hand to cut her face. She took her hand with the gun, wrapped it around her placing it underneath her elbow, and shot. It released its grip on her neck and she gasped.
"Lilly! You ok?"
"Yeah. I've still got a few bullets left."
"So do I."
They each took their last few shots and together, they took down 10 minibots. When they teleported back to the HQ and Lilly noticed a cut running from her eye to her neck and a few more on her chest. Milli had a few on her sides and several bruises. Jet came in the room.
"Lilly!" He said giving her a hug.
"Ow." She mumbled. He looked at her.
"Sorry hun."
"Hey, you ain't helping me like I help you." She said. He laughed. After Lilly was done fixing her cuts, Jet came in again. He found her...crying?
"Hey." He walked over and stood next to her. "Hey what's wrong?" He said putting a comforting arm aroud her.
"Nothing. I-I'm fine really." She said turning to him and crying.
"Come on babe. You can tell me. I'm your fian- boyfriend." He quickly corrected himself, luckily she didn't notice.
"I-I miss Annie." She said and went right back to crying.
"Shh sh sh sh." He tried to comfort her. "I'll be right back honey." He went into his office and picked something up.
"Now, I was gonna wait until the funeral for this, but I think now is a better time than ever." He pulled out a small box an opened it. (*girl squeals!*)
He pulled out a picture frame and a necklace. (Dang it!) Lilly looked at it. It was a picture of Annabelle. The corners were burnt and one was covered with a smaller picture that showed Lilly holding Annie a few weeks after she was born. Around the edge, there was a necklace that she always wore with her mother's name on it and the day she was born.
"Honey." She squeaked through her crying. "W-where did you get these?"
"I went back to America one night and found these in a burnt photo album. While I was there, someone that was in the militia recognized me and gave me the dog tags."
"You don't know how much this means to me." She said leaning on him and clutching the picture frame. "I love you so much." She hugged him.
"I love you too." He said back, kissing her on the head. "I hate seeing you down." She sighed.
"Thank you." She whispered.
"I just wanted to make you feel better." He smiled. Jet pack Guy went to his office later, and G walked in.
"Hey, Jet." He said.
"Hey." He said with a sigh.
"What's up with you?" He asked confused.
"Ahhhh I'm just thinkin'."
"About whaaaat...sorry, Dot's nosiness has rubbed of on me. So?"
"I...I'm gonna ask Lilly to marry me."
BAHAHHAHAHAH! CLIFF HANGERRRR!
