Strife, now controlling the Twin Tails, waved to Syeed, who was down below. As Strife got higher, Syeed was soon out of sight. Strife looked ahead of him. He was now in the air, a place he had grown fond of.
Central City skies.
Inside the TT, Strife was busy patrolling. To his right sat Eli, a friend of Strife's that he felt a strong bond to. Strife felt that he could relate to Eli the most out of all of his friends. The people Strife hung around weren't really tech savy, nor did they care about the small things in life such as nature and other things. Most of the people Strife hung around were just focused on taking down bad guys, comic books, and other things Strife didn't really understand. Eli had also helped Strife out a lot in the past, collecting things for Strife to build new stuff. Strife was a little shocked to see Eli with G.U.N gear on, but it didn't bother him too much.
"Alright. So I need to get you guys back to the G.U.N headquarters?" Strife said, his eyes focused on the sky as he flew.
"Pretty much. We've got the stuff Tower needs." Jawez, who was sitting to Strife's left, replied. Strife was always a bit intimidated by Jawez. He felt that Jawez had this mysterious aura about him, his true power and potential hidden. For certain, Jawez looked more like the villain role than the hero. Strife wanted to really get to know more about Jawez, but at the same time, he didn't. All he knew was that his real name was James. Sure, Strife could spy and find out more about him, but Strife didn't feel stalking someone like Jawez was worth it. Strife really only used his anti-security skills to crack down on bad people.
"Cool." Strife nodded. "So, you guys plan to work with G.U.N until we stop these invaders?"
"Oh, yeah!" Eli shouted. "They offered us some cool prizes for the job. At first, I questioned why they didn't just get the Chaotix or Team Dark to do something like this, but once they offered benefits, I didn't care. Heh!"
Strife chuckled a bit. He continued to control the TT through the air, turning on the air conditioners inside. He squinted his eyes and noticed something awkward. "Wait a minute.." Strife said, slowing down the plane. What he saw next caught him by surprise.
Banshee ships.
Coming at HIM.
In all directions.
He steered around, trying to find a way to escape. "Damn! They must have had sensors or something on the pod! Tracked me down!"
"I've got this!" Eli said, grabbing a plasma gun that Strife assumed he stole from a Banshee. Eli opened a hatch in the plane and climbed out onto the hood of the plane. Jawez soon followed.
Hood of the Twin Tails.
Eli's heart pounded at a lightning quick rate. It was a mix of him being scared and excited. While he wasn't used to huge battles like this, it hit him with a sense of adrenaline that he barely ever felt. Eli saw the Banshee ships closing in. Eli and Jawez began to fire rapidly at the ships, sending a few of them off course. He saw Banshees climbing on the hoods of their ships and Eli began to fire at them, knocking some of them off. Eli saw that Jawez was having trouble with his aim.
"Screw the damn GUNS!" Jawez shouted in fustration, throwing the gun away like nothing. Jawez leaped from the Twin Tails, landing on a Banshee ship. Eli watched as Jawez began to decimate and snap the necks of Banshees with his bare hands, throwing them off and sending them flying off the ships. Eli gulped slightly upon watching this.
While he let his guard down, a few Banshees had climbed on top of the Twin Tails. Eli turned around in time to shoot one of them in the face. The other two Banshees attempted to fight him, but he used the wind to spin his tail around and send a wave at them, knocking them off the ship.
Eli turned and saw Jawez in trouble. Eli flew over to the Banshee ship, standing next to Jawez. They began to become surronded by Banshees. Eli counted about 15 of them.
Without looking at him, Jawez said to Eli. "You ready to kick some ass?"
"Hell YES!" Eli shouted in reply.
They barged into the crowd of Banshees, Eli using his gun to shoot them and Jawez using his fist to pound them. Jawez grabbed a Banshee and rolled him into a ball, swinging him around and knocking down other Banshees. Eli hovered in the air, creating a mini tornado with his tail to slow the Banshees down. Jawez used Eli to throw himself in the air, charging his fist and coming down on the ship, smashing into it, taking down Banshees and clearing the ship. This also caused the ship to haywire out of control and omit smoke. Jawez chuckled to himself, looking around.
"Banshee pricks. I'm going to defend Mobius, no matter what." Jawez spit on the Banshee ship before jumping off of it, making his way back to the Twin Tails and climbing inside. Eli soon followed.
Eli and Jawez took seats, looking over at Strife, who was smiling.
Minutes later, they landed on the roof of the G.U.N headquarters.
"Looks like we're here, guys." Strife said, nodding over at Eli and Jawez. "That was some pretty swell work back there."
