3 long months of school and here I am with the 12th chapter of King of Thieves.
Chapter 12: The great escape.
The ship raced through the town and was nearing the garage, "um Storm, I don't think we're losing and it would be a bad idea to lead them to the garage," Calvary said viewing the droids that were following suit.
"Don't worry, I've been in worse situations," Storm replied making a sharp turn towards a desert.
The ship zoomed through the desert leaving a mass of dust flying right behind it, "Perihelion, initiate Stealth Mode," she commanded whilst inputting a code.
"Stealth Mode activating… complete," the ship responded before going invisible.
"Now that we've lost them for a bit, we best get to the garage and get everyone else," Storm said before zooming back to the town.
Calvary's POV
I glanced at the radar and it indicated that we had lost the droids. I then glanced at the boys who were still asleep and sighed.
"Cal, stay in the ship," Storm ordered whilst getting up from the pilot's seat.
"W-where are you going?" I asked whilst standing up.
"I'm going to get Ryan and Shade, you should stay here and look after the boys," she said before leaving the ship.
I sigh and get seated, "ugh..." I heard Loyde groan from the back, "um Cal, what happened after I passed out?" he asked while stumbling to the seats.
"We were being chased by Dirk's goons but we lost them and rushed here to get Ryan and Shade," I replied; helping him sit in the process.
Storm's POV
I kicked the door open and rushed to the girls' room.
I picked Shade up and carried her bridal style and walked over to the door to the boys' room, "um Ryan we need to get going," I yelled.
"W-where are we going?" he asked after opening the door.
"Dirk's goons are after us and we have to leave before they get here," I said; walking over to the door with Ryan following suit.
I entered the ship and found Calvary and the boys both awake, "Ola people," Ryan greeted which simply earned him grumbles.
Suddenly the ship's radar began beeping wildly, "um guys, we have company," Rage said; looking at the screen showing Dirk's ship approaching ours.
"I'll pilot," I said taking the seat, "Rage and Ryan, you'll man the computer," I said to which the duo nodded, "Cal, take control of the turrets," I ordered to which she also nodded, "and Loyde… watch Shade."
"Who put you in charge?" he questioned
"Well obviously you're still woozy and are not in the mood to fly this thing so the best you can do is sit down and rest," I responded.
"This is my ship you know," he snarled.
"Loyde just sit down and watch the kid," I ordered; sternly glaring at him to which he challenged and glared back.
"Humph! Fine," he said before taking the kid and sitting down.
"Um guys, there here!" Ryan yelled.
I started the engine and hit the gas with all the strength I could muster up forcing us into the air.
No one's POV
The ship began in increasing altitude rapidly until it finally left the atmosphere, "initiate stealth mode," Storm commanded to which the ship complied instantly.
"Um Storm, the enemy ship is still aware of our position," Rage said; typing away on the control panel.
"Well I guess we have to shake them some other way," she said thinking of a new idea.
"Video chat alert!" Perihelion said through the speaker.
"Accept it," Loyde responded from his seat.
The screen went on and revealed Dirk, "Hello," he growled.
"What do you want Dirk?" Storm asked clearly annoyed.
"The Boss would like to speak to you," he said before transferring the call to another ship.
"Hello," greeted Blake with the now General Boltron beside him.
"Why did you call?" Rage snarled.
"Oh Rage, still as rude as ever," he chuckled, "anyway, we called to check on our favorite group of heroes."
"Aside from that, why did you call?" Loyde asked.
"We just wanted to inform you on the fact that you have some important confidential information that is vital to the Peace Keeper Organization," Gr. Boltron stated rather stoically.
"Yeah, so?" Rage responded rather unfazed.
"That simply means that we're going to find you and when we do; all that will be left of you is ash," the General declared.
"You think we're scared of you?" Calvary bravely spoke up.
"My oh my, is that Ms. Crag?" he asked.
"It's General Crag to you sir," she corrected.
"Ha, you wish," he snorted, "it is true that you're just like your dad was; brave, strong, confident and firm," he complemented, "it's funny that your expression is the same one he had before he met his demise."
Calvary's eyes widened, "what do you mean?"
"Your father was the best at what he did. He was the strongest and toughest of all soldiers," he explained, "when you were born, he became soft. He started taking breaks and days off just so he could spend time with his family. What a joke," he continued.
"It's a pity that I'll have to eliminate his daughter," he sighed, "just like I did with him."
Calvary's POV
"N-no, it can't be," I cried.
"Your father became weak. He had to be replaced," he said, "by someone stronger."
"Y-you! I trusted you. I looked up to you!" I yelled, "I had a crush on you, heck! I even dated you!"
"You know baby, we all have to make tough decisions in our lives. Even when it means losing those we love," he smirked.
"Don't you baby me bastard!" I shouted, "I'll kill you! I swear I am going to kill you!"
"Loyde take the wheel," said Storm who rushed to me and held me back, "Calm down Cal."
"No! Let go of me, I need to teach this bastard a lesson," I growled trying to shake her off.
"Relax please," she said still holding on, "you can't even hit him, and it's just a projection."
"I said, let g-."
No one's POV
"That will keep her down for a while," Storm said whilst laying Calvary down on the bed that happened to be in the ship's bedroom.
"Anyway, like he said we will find you and it looks like we have. Cheerio," Blake said before ending the call.
Suddenly the a large bang was heard causing the ship to shake and the room to started flashing red, "damage detected! Left wing severely damaged and Stealth mode deactivated," Perihelion announced.
"Crap! How did they find us?" Rage asked visibly confused.
"Um Loyde, have you ever had a pet bird?" Ryan asked.
"Um no, why?" he responded.
"Well, I think we've found our tracking device," Ryan said whilst grabbing the bird.
"Toss it down the trash chute," Rage said pressing some buttons.
"I think it would be fair I just throw its collar like this," he said tossing it down the chute.
"I'll take the turrets," Storm said; taking her position.
The ship flew through space avoiding most attacks from the enemy ship.
Dirk's ship fired a laser beam that completely vaporized the Perihelion's left wing causing it to spiral out of control.
Dirk's POV
"We've got em now boys," I smirked while looking at the other ship's state, "let's finish em o-" I said but was cut off by the sound of my communicator.
"Sir yes sir!" I saluted.
"Dirk, have you eliminated the enemy yet?" Blake asked.
"N-not yet sir," I responded; a bit nervous.
"Of course," he sighed, "anyway, make it quick. You're needed back in Metropolis; we need you for a meeting."
"Roger!" I responded to which he nodded and ended the call.
I sighed and looked back at the control panel, "boys, let's make it quick. We're needed in Metropolis."
"Fire the beam at the right wing," I commanded to which the droids complied and shot the beam at the ship; eradicating its right wing causing it to spiral wildly and fly into the atmosphere of Marcadia.
Without wanting to waste any time, "that ship won't survive the crash, let's just go to Metropolis now."
No one's POV
The team's ship spiraled wildly into Marcadia's atmosphere moving at extreme speeds.
Storm quickly and protectively held a crying Shade to her chest. The brothers hugged each other for support and Loyde kept on trying to gain control of the ship, "now reaching planet surface," Perihelion said through the speakers.
Loyde stumbled towards the rest of the group, "if we don't make it alive, I would like to say that knowing you all has been a wonderful experience," he said whilst joining Storm in holding Shade.
"Impact in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…"
Ohayo readers. That was chapter 12 of this story and I hope you all enjoyed it. This story happens to be something I've really enjoyed. One thing I really enjoy is writing scenes that involve emotion though I don't really know it they're really well written. So anyways, tell me what you think of my story by simply reviewing and I'll keep on bringing to you more chapters.
Bye!
