Chapter 4

Mercenary For Justice

I woke up again later on, and Brittney was still asleep on me. I kissed her on the top of her head. Ashley was sitting on the love seat.

I asked her "What time is it?"

She said "Eleven O'clock."

I watched TV till Brittney woke up. She yawned then looked up at me. I looked at her, and said "Good mornin' beautiful." She smiled at me. She crawled up me, and put her arms on my shoulders.

I asked her "Wanna go outside?"

She replied softly "Sure."

We slipped on our shoes, and walked outside. I jumped over the porch rail, and flipped over the junker. Brittney walked down the porch steps, and walked over to me. I wrapped her up in my arms, and started turning around in circles. Her feet and spikes were gliding in the air. I stopped, and set her down, but I didn't let go. She wrapped her arms around me. We stood hugging for a long time. Then this brown Chinook hovered above us. A bunch of troops rappelled from it down to us. They pulled their rifles on us. I pulled Brittney closer to me, and started growling.

One of the soldiers said "Don't move, and you won't get hurt."

I tuned my hands to claws, and put Brittney in the junker. One of the soldiers stepped closer, and wacked me with the butt of his rifle. I didn't flinch or shout I just swung at him, and cut him into four pieces. All the other soldiers shot at me. I heard Brittney scream. I stood there, and let the bullets hit me. They didn't pierce me, or even bring blood. They bounced off like nothing. I dashed at a soldier, and impaled him on my hand. I slung him off at another soldier knocking him back pretty far. I turned my hands to hammerfists, and dashed towards another soldier, and crushed his head between my hands. I saw a glimpse of a soldier standing in front of the only opening in the junker aiming at Brittney. I dashed over to him, and picked him up by the neck. I started squeezing his puny little nick then I slammed his head in the ground, and punted what was sticking out. I pulled Brittney out of the car, and hugged her tightly.

I asked her "Are you okay?"

She replied "Yeah, you?"

"I'm fine." I answered

I was going to carry her in the house, but got stopped by an electrified cage. I put Brittney down, and touched the cage. I was suspended in air, shaking like crazy, and yelling at the top of my lungs. I fell down on my back steaming. Brittney bent down, and held my head. I blacked out, hearing Brittney scream my name then nothing, but black.

I woke up on a table in a glass room. The first thing that came to my mind was "where's Brittney". I looked around for her, and saw nothing but glass. I jumped off the table, and charged at the wall. I bounced off. I charged at the wall again, and broke through it. I heard a siren go off. I started trying to hear past the siren and I heard Brittney scream. I dashed through the door heading to the shriek of terror. I got to Brittney in no time. I kicked the door in, and saw Brittney surrounded by people in black and grey tactical suits. I dashed toward Brittney, picked her up, and dashed back out before the soldiers had enough time to see what happened. I was running through the hall when I saw a door that might lead out. I busted through it with ease. We were somewhere on a mountaintop. I started looking around, and I saw something flying toward me. I ducked with Brittney in my arms. The thing stopped behind me, and turned around fast. I noticed a mini gun attached to his arm. It aimed at Brittney and me. It started firing before I had a chance to run so I turned my back toward it, and crunched Brittney up in front of me, and protected her. All the bullets hit me, and ricocheted off me in all directions. I looked at Brittney with a tired look, and heard electricity crackle in the air. As soon as I heard I, I took off running as fast as I could. It felt like breakneck speed, but I was too concentrated on getting Brittney to safety. I was zigzagging to dodge the electric shots, while trying not to hit trees and things. I dodged a zap the robot shot at me, and ran right into a tree. I turned my back to it so it wouldn't hit Brittney. Instead of stopping, I broke through it like was a toothpick. I turned back around, and took off again. The robot sped up, and started flying right beside me. I looked at it, and stopped, skidding to a halt, tearing up the ground in the process. I stood there staring at the robot. I put Brittney down gently, and turned my right hand to a sharp double edged blade. The robot zoomed at me, and I swung at it. I cut off its mini gun attached to its right arm. I turned my hand into a stretchy rope like object with a circular opening at the end, and flung it at the robot. It latched on, and I pulled it toward me. I tried to crush its neck, and its body, but it fought back. It was much stronger than what I've faced before. I noticed a button on the nape of its neck. I pressed it, and it shut down. I made my hand larger, and picked it up by the head, and scooped Brittney in my other arm. She held on tight to my neck. I looked around carefully, and found her house a few hundred miles down the mountain. I took off toward it holding Brittney making sure she didn't fall out of my grip while holding onto the robots head with my other hand. I made it down the mountain in about five minutes. Brittney was holding onto my neck so tight I couldn't breathe. I made it to her house shortly after reaching the base of the mountain. I stopped on the porch to put the robot down.

I carried Brittney in the house and set her down gently on the couch, and asked her "Are you okay?"

She replied softly "I'm fine, but I'm more worried about you."

I replied with a faint quiver "I'll be fine, just get some rest okay."

I noticed my shirt was full of bullet holes so I ripped it off, and threw it in the garbage. I walked outside, and grabbed the defeated heap of junk lying on the porch. I threw it in the junker, and wrapped it around the robot.

I turned it back on, and asked it "Who sent you to attack me, and who kidnapped Brittney and me?"

The robot stared at me wriggling its organic antennas, and blinking its glowing orange eyes. I said sternly one more time "Who sent you, and who kidnapped us?"

It stared at me, and laughed. I wacked it. It cussed me. I shut it off, and walked back into the house. I saw Brittney almost asleep on the couch. I walked over to her, and got down on my knees. She looked up at me, and smiled then fell asleep. I scooped her in my arms, and carried her to her room. I pulled back the covers, and tucked her in. I kissed her on the forehead, and stood back up. I felt a tingle down my spine. I fell down, and blacked out.

I woke up on the couch. Brittney was sitting beside, staring at me with tears in her eyes. I went to sit up, but she stopped me. She pushed me back down, and told me to rest.

I asked her "You okay, cuz you fell asleep before I did?"

She replied softly "I'm fine, but you passed out not fell asleep."

I said "Good point."

I suddenly remembered the robot was still outside. I shot up, and ran outside. The robot was gone. I looked around carefully. It was sort of dark, but still light outside. Brittney showed up beside me, and asked "Whatya lookin fer?"

I replied in an almost growling voice "The robot."

"Whaa?" She asked confused.

I saw something coming at us. I grabbed Brittney, and jumped over the rail, onto the grass. I pushed Brittney away from me, so if the robot attacked it would only hit me. I saw an electric ball hurtling towards Brittney. I jumped in front of it, and went flying in the air. Brittney ran to me, and put my head on her knees. I grunted, and stood up. My eyes turned red. I started foaming at the mouth. And I was growling so loud you could hear me over anything. I spotted the robot between some trees. I dashed toward it with both arms as sharp double edged blades, and swung at the robot as hard as I could. I cut through the trees, but the robot leaned back, making my attack cut short. The robot kicked me in the stomach but it didn't faze me. I swung at the robot again, and got one of its hands. It punched at my face, and I dodged it. I cut off its arm. Then I kicked it in the stomach. It went flying through the trees. I chased after it. I caught it, and slammed my fist through its face, shattering it. I slammed it into the ground, and punted its stomach. I turned my hands into hammer fists, mad them bigger than normal, and slammed them on the robot, shattering it into pieces. I ran back to Brittney, and carried her into the house.

I asked her for the fifty millionth time "You okay?"

She replied "I'm fine."

I st her down on the couch, and sat next to her. I hugged her tightly. She laid her head on my shoulder, and started watching TV. She fell asleep hours later. I kissed her on the head, and laid down with her on me, and said "Night love you."
