Chapter 16

Location: Swiss Alps
Area: Calico's secret hideout
Time: Unknown

As fire was burning in large areas of the facility, David was running as fast as he can to get to the secondary control area so that he will be able to stop the satellite from taking out the U.S. power grid. He had left Penny and Bolt with Blonski, Felix, the professor, and the squad of troops, other troops were planting explosives around the facility so that when they were at a safe distance, they would destroy the facility. As he was running through the hallways, he could hear sounds of gunshots, and knew that by the sound of them, the special ops troops were winning. After running through the hallway, he found himself facing a room that had the words 'Secondary Control Room' on the front of the door. He opened it to reveal a large room, with walls that were plainly glass windows that revealed that the room was suspended with metal pillars over a steep hill that led to the bottom of the mountain. He looked around until he saw a computer that was in the center of the room that was the secondary control section. David rushed over to the computer and saw that there were only 6 minutes left before the satellite would be positioned over its target and the power grid would be hit. He went to the control panel and started to work on it, but before he could do anything else with it, he heard the sound of a gun being loaded.

"Stop right where you are" Somebody said from behind him. He turned around slowly to reveal none other than Lori with the golden gun pointed straight at him. David held his hands up and knew that he had nowhere else to go.

"So this is what your father gives you?" David asks Lori "A life of killings and murder?"

"Shut up" Lori said to him "My father loves me more than anything else in the world"

"And you're helping him take over the entire earth" David said to him "We were friends Lori, all these years, all those adventures, they were our friends to"

"I never was your friend" Lori said to him "I was just playing along and looking after you guys to make sure that you and the other's wouldn't get into trouble. You think I was with you guys because I liked you?"

"You were always there for us" David said to her "I always thought that you were helpful to us, but now, I see a good reason why you bailed out on us"

"I don't care what you say, I'm not gonna change my mind about this" Lori said "Think about it, we could rule the entire planet, have whatever we want whenever we want"

"Still like your father huh" said David "I'd rather take you down then make me rejoin you"

"So be it" Lori said coldly. After a few tense minutes of silence, Lori fired her gun, but David quickly dodged the bullet as it hit a metal bar. As Lori knew that she didn't have time to reload, she just put the gun in her holster and took a fighting stance, David did the same. During their training, they were both skilled in hand to hand fighting, they had always tried to best each other during training to be the best, but this would be a lot deadlier and more brutal than their fights in the past. Suddenly, Lori started to charge straight at David, he charged towards her as well, once they were close to each other, they threw their fists at each other, both of them missing, and the fight had begun. They were throwing fists and kicks at each other that both ended up being blocked or missed and flew through the air. David was tough and skilled in aggressive fighting and strength, but Lori was fast and quick on her feet, a very deadly combination. Then, Lori pulled out a switchblade, and pressed the button on it that flipped out the knife. Soon, she was slashing at David attempting to kill him with the knife while he was dodging them head on. After one throw of the knife, David felt a sharp pain on the side and he pulled back and saw that he had received a large cut on the side, but that didn't stop him from pulling out of the fight. He charged back at Lori who continued to slash him with the knife while attempting to throw other ferocious and fast attacks on him. They both stopped after they pushed each other backwards, but continued to face each other, waiting for the next strike to come.

"Not bad" Lori said to David while breathing heavily "Not bad at all"

"We both had a good teacher" said David.

"You mean Blonski?" Lori said to David. Suddenly, David charged at her again, and they resumed their fight while they were still talking.

"He cared for all of us like a family member" said David after he dodged a few punches.

"He was just doing his job" Lori said to him while throwing attacks "Calico had paid him to train all of us, and that's what he did"

"But he cared for us" David said "And we all cared for each other as friends"

"I'm not your friend, and I never was!" Lori yelled at him. As the fight raged on, Lori was starting to get the advantage on David since she was faster. Soon, David had cuts and bruises on many parts of his body and was starting to feel as if his whole body was about to give out. Lori, with the bloody knife in her hands formed an evil smile around her face. She had David weakened and cornered and knew that he had nowhere else to run. David felt that he was just about finished, but when his body hit the wall, David noticed that he had probably hit an electrical box, which gave him an Idea.

"So I guess this is where it all ends" Lori said with a smirk "Goodbye David, it's been real fun and all" suddenly, she lunged out with the knife in her hands and was going to stab David. Then, as if on cue, David dropped down as the knife was heading straight towards him and it hit the electric box instead. Lori still had a tight grip on the knife, so when it hit the electric circuit, it sent an electric shock straight to her body. Lori cried out as she was being electrocuted, and after it stopped, she started to fall to the ground, and her body rolled over to the edge of a walkway and fell off. David watched as the motionless Lori started to roll down the snowy mountain until her body wouldn't be seen again.

"Looks like that was a proper goodbye" David said to himself. With that taken care of, David rushed back over to the secondary control computer where he repositions the satellite to strike at the facility itself while it would reenter the atmosphere. After taking care of the satellite, David knew that there was one more person to take care of, Calico, the man who used him then left him for dead after he had enough. He knew that he would be heading to an escape area to flee and knew that it shouldn't happen, so he took out his gun, cocked it up, and headed off to find the man that he was looking for.

In a secret hangar area, Calico was with a few guards that were escorting him to a private helicopter so that he could make his escape. The chopper was all fueled up and ready to go, suddenly, gunshots rang out, and the guards that were with Calico dropped dead on the floor. Calico, surprised by this, turned around to see none other than his own assassin.

"Give it up Calico" David said as he still had his gun pointed at him "It's all over" Calico turned with sneer and faced him.

"None of this is over" Calico said to him "Not while I'm still standing"

"That's not gonna last very long" David said as he cocked the gun.

"Now don't be too hasty" Calico said to him "Why must we fight now?"

"You lied to us all of these years just so you could keep us from learning the truth" David said to him "You took us away from our real families, and used us as pawns in your own game"

"You're lying" Calico said to him "I took you all away because I saw greatness in all of you; I was creating the perfect group of soldiers, ones that bring pride to the world, ones that follow orders, ones that would eventually be viewed as hero's"

"You made us murder people that we realized weren't a threat at all" David said to him.

"To me they were" said Calico "I just simply needed them out of the way so that I would continue my work. Think of everything we could have, anything at our finger tips. Besides, I could still use a right hand man if you want" he raised out his hand "What do you say, for the world?" David knew that he was offering him a chance to be his assassin again, but after everything that had happened, he wouldn't take any chances. A gun shot was heard, and Calico's eyes went wide. He slowly looked down to see that David had but a bullet right close to his chest. The gun was in David's hand and was still smoking; Calico looked back up to him.

"No, for me" David said to him answering his offer. Calico was shocked by this and soon started to clutch his wound as he slowly started to lower himself to the ground. Still alive, he started to push himself backwards towards his escape helicopter, but David was slowly walking towards him, intending to put another bullet in him once he stopped. David had a glare on his face as he came closer to him as Calico struggled to get away while covering his wound. Calico finally stopped as he got to the landing platform, but couldn't stand up because of the wound. David looked down on him, as the man who had betrayed him and left him for dead was lying on the floor in a bloody mess.

"I just missed your heart" David said to him softly. He raised his gun preparing to deliver the killing blow until suddenly, a voce called out to him.

"Stop!" David turned around and saw Penny and Bolt running towards him.

"What are you doing here" David said to her "You should be with the others"

"I changed my mind" Penny said to him "I understand that you're angry, you have every right, but don't kill him, we can give him over to the military where they can lock him away for the rest of his life"

"Why" David said to him "If I let him live then he'll haunt me forever"

"I know that" Penny said "But you have to let go of the past, it will only make things worse" David had the urge to kill Calico where he was, but the begging from Penny and the look in her eyes. So he turned over to Calico, who was still alive, but just barley, raised his gun, and then dropped it to the ground right next to him.

"Calico" David said to him "I have every reason why I want to kill you right now, but I'm not. I'm letting you go just this once, but I'm gonna give you a warning. If you ever come back and try to harm anybody close to me, then I will kill you" David turned around and walked towards Penny, but Calico crept over to David's gun and picked it off the ground, pointing it towards him. David stopped as he heard Calico cock the weapon, and Penny was in a state of worry, preparing to rush to David's aid if he got shot.

"My boy" Calico said "This decision you made has just cost you your life" he pulled the trigger, but instead of the gun firing, there was only a click. He pulled the trigger again, and it just did nothing and made a click sound again. Calico soon realized that David emptied the gun, as David takes the clip out of his pocket and raises it in the air to reveal it. Penny sighed in relief.

"You failed" David said to him. Then, in the quick of a flash, he turned around, took out another gun that he was keeping with him and delivered a final shot to Calico, killing him. David smiled as he turned around to face Penny, who was relieved and shocked at the same time.

"What was that about?" Penny asked him "And what do you mean by 'he failed'?"

"It was a test" David told her "I was testing him to see if he could be trusted and would listen to my warning, and he apparently failed. You're not mad are you?"

"No" Penny said to him "I'm just surprised; besides, I know that you would only use your skills for the right reasons"

"I know" David said "Thank you for making me realize that" Bolt came over and gave David a few quick licks before settling down "And you too boy" He turned to Penny and smiled, but just as they were about to move in for another kiss, a rumbling was heard, and then a voice on the loudspeaker came up: Warning, system failure throughout the facility, all hands evacuate.

"We gotta get out of here" Penny said to him.

"Not a problem" David said "I ordered the helicopter to pick us up at this spot in case I came here" They looked up, and sure enough, a military helicopter came along with Blonski, Felix, The professor, and a few others inside. The door was slid open, and they knew that now was the time to go. David, Penny, and Bolt ran towards the edge of the platform and jumped all together towards the doors of the helicopter, and landed inside the helicopter successfully, just before the whole facility faced system failure and suddenly exploded, engulfing the landing area and the entire area in flames, luckly the helicopter was away when the explosion happened. Inside the helicopter, David, Penny, and Bolt looked around the helicopter area and got up, relieved that they made it out. Penny turned to her own father and smiled, she quickly went over to him, and gave him the tightest hug that she could ever give to her father.

"That sure is nice" Felix said to David who was sitting next to him "Families getting back together again" David felt a little bit of pain as he has yet to find his real family.

"Yeah" David said "Too bad I don't have my family"

"You know, it's funny" Felix said to him.

"What" asked David curiously.

"Your name kind of reminds me of my lost son" Felix said to him.

"Why, what happened to him?" asked David.

"He was just a baby when he disappeared from us" Felix said to him "It was as if he was just taken, in the blink of an eye"

"Really" David said, surprised by this "I forgot to mention in my story that Calico had taken us from our real birthparents so that he could train us, and Blonski said that their parents were military officers" Just then, he paused, he suddenly thought of something that he hadn't thought of and slowly turned around to Felix, who was listening to what David was saying and started thinking the same thing as well "What was your son's name"

"His name was David" Felix answered. After he said that, they both slowly started to come to a realization that they hadn't realized in years.

"Dad?" David said softly, wondering if he may have finally found his actual father.

"Son" Felix answered to him. Once that was answered, both men sat in disbelief, with a feeling of joy inside David.

"I don't believe it" David said as he started to smile.

"It's really you" Felix said smiling as well. Then, both of them embraced with a big hug, father and son being reunited at last "We thought we'd never see you again" when Felix said we, David knew that there were others in his family, after hugging for a while, David turned to Penny, who was smiling.

"I told you you'd find your real family someday" Penny said to him.

"I guess you're right then" David said to her "And I have a little something for you"

"What?" Penny asked him. David took Penny's arms, and pulled her into the most passionate kiss that he could give her; Penny felt a warm pleasure in her body and soon gave in to the kiss. After the kiss lasted for what felt like forever, suddenly, Bolt jumped up on them, barking happily, and licking both of them. As this was happening, David knew that he was no longer an assassin, that he had found a new life to live, with new family, new friends, and someone that he loved. He kept those thoughts in mind as the helicopter flew away from the mountains.

Alright, so it looks like a happy ending. I'm gonna include a little epilogue that's gonna come next very shortly. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, as always, please review. The story is not over yet, just one more to go.
