When a powerful jolt jerked me awake, I cried out then instinctively lashed out with a leg and arm, rolling the person standing over me onto their back then drew a gun, pointing it to their head. I stopped, my snarl fading. Snake lay beneath me, lifting up his hands in surrender. He was wearing my gloves. Breathing deeply I swallowed, replacing my gun in the holster.
Then I heard the crash. Snake spun me over, tucking my small frame into him as pits of burning debris crashed into the crust of the volcano, landing several meters away. When the last bit of Commander's escape pod had missed us, Snake pulled back then offered back my other gun. Staring at it I realised he had taken down Cobra Commander, once and for all.
Pushing past the gun I threw my arms around Snake's neck, gripping him as tightly as I dared. "Thank you." I whispered to him. "I guess we're even now." His arms wound tighter around me. I felt him slide the last gun into my holster then shifted me around to pull me closer to him. "I won't be able to sleep for years now, you do realise that right?" I said to him dully. "I killed a clone of Scarlet, Roadblock, Storm Shadow and Jinx. I could smell other clones from the rest of our team too, they were in incubators down in the basement." Snake rubbed a large circle into my back then pulled back when we both heard a Black Hawk flying towards us.
"If you two are finished, we'd like to get out of here!" Heavy's voice yelled impatiently. "The place is about to blow!" Crap! Lots of lava, not good! A harness was lowered down and Snake slipped it on before holding his hand out to me. I gripped it tightly and he pulled me close to him, sliding my hand around his neck then held onto my waist.
We were lifted off the ground and the chopper began to fly off. When we got to the open doorway of the Hawk, our team greeted us. I was so relieved to see the real Scarlet alive and unharmed I threw my arms around her and refused point blank to let go for at least ten minutes.
No one was hurt, even Block had got out. When Storm Shadow stepped aside to reveal a sleeping Sabrina, I dropped to my knees and touched her face, tears rising to my eyes as I looked down at her. She was alright. Brushing the tears aside I pulled the blanket closer around her then lifted her head to settle it on my lap, stroking her hair as everyone watched me with happy smiles.
When we landed at base I carried Sabrina in myself, refusing to let her go. I took her to medical where she woke up with me holding her hand. "Robyn!" She gasped then leaped at me, tackling me with a hug which I gladly returned. "You're alright! What happened to you? How did you learn to fight like that?" She pressed, babbling quickly as she did when she was confused. "I don't understand, what was that place and how did I get there?"
"Calm down Sabrina. You're alright, you're safe now." I promised her, making her lay back down on the bed. "Now I can't tell you everything, I'm not allowed but I'm going to tell you everything I can. Okay?" She nodded her head. Taking in a deep breath, I started from the beginning.
Her eyes widened further and further with each passing word.
Don't worry, there will be more chapters coming soon. Right now in fact! I'll post another pretty much straight away just for you guys, seeing as this one is so short :)
