Chapter 26 Shriek and Destroy
Its been a few days since Sean and the others arrived at Perfection to relax and recover from Luthor's Zombie virus.
Now they were settled in nicely.
And of Course Rolalita become romantically involved with him.
Right now everyone was at Jodi's market getting breakfast while Burt was going over a Survival school he was going to teach to receive a modest income.
"We've just about been breaking even with the school the way it is, and now you wanna spend more on marketing?" Burt asked looking at an Ad about himself.
"Hehehehe." Sean chuckled amused.
"I don't know about this whole idea." Burt said making Jodi sigh.
"Burt, for someone who knows a lot about surviving, you don't know about surviving economically." Jodi said pouring his coffee.
"I'm getting by." Burt said.
"You're getting thin, is what your getting. There are Coyotes eating better than you." Tyler said making him scoff.
"She made me look like Rambo." Burt said.
"I don't even know who that is." Sean said.
"I would never wear a bandana." Burt said.
"I really don't think you need to go all out just for a simple survival school. Besides you don't want to oversell it. While Advertisement is required you don't want to look desperate." Sean said.
"Thank you." Burt said.
"Fine. I'll tone it down." Jodi said as Rosalita came in before kissing Sean's cheek making him chuckle.
"So hows it working with no magic or power right now?" Tyler asked.
Sean's powers had completely shut down a couple days ago to fully recharge himself. Even taking out the Reality stone.
"I'm getting by. Only ability I still have is being invulnerable to weapons of science." Sean said.
"You mean like this." Valmet asked holding her old combat knife up. (A reminder she's from Jormungand with her right eye fully healed)
"Basically. Weapons of nature and magic on the other hand though can still wound me." Sean said.
"Hence why we're away from all of that." Asami said as Twitchell walked in.
"You ever think about getting a real air conditioner here?" Twitchell asked.
"I have one coming in." Asami said.
"I have no problem with it." Sean said eating his meal.
"Course you wouldn't. Gummer, I need to talk to you." Twitchell said.
"What, you ran out of people to annoy?" Burt asked making Korra snicker.
"You know, I really don't appreciate your sarcasm, Gummer." Twitchell said.
"Then why do you keep coming back for more?" Gummer asked making Sean chuckle.
"A new Graboid egg has hatched." Twitchell said.
"Thats impossible. We'd know if there was another one." Burt said.
"I never said here. In Arizona. Near some town called Juniper." Twitchell said.
"I thought El Blanco was the last one." Korra said.
"No he's just one of the recent ones to comes out of a long term hatching cycle." Burt said.
"Whatever the point is theres already those Shrieker things there." Twitchell said.
"Those folks now have a real problem." Burt said.
"I'm going to go on a limb and guess you want Burt to go and handle this." Sean said.
"Yeah. Everyone knows he's the go to guy when it comes to these things. Besides my bosses are more than willing to provide you with whatever you want to get it done like last time." Twitchell said.
"When theres snowboarding in hell." Burt said leaving making him sigh.
"Gummer!" Twitchell said following him as did the others.
"Twitchell, why does it always have to be me?" Burt asked.
"Damn it, Gummer, you cannot just walk away from this." Twitchell said.
"What about the FBI, CIA. Hell even the Justice League for gods sakes. Turok could even handle it." Burt said going to his truck.
"First of all the League is busy keeping real criminals in line and are only seven members. Second of all Turok is still training his abilities on the count that he's barely gotten used to them." Twitchell said.
"Then find someone else." Burt said.
"They already have someone from fish and wildlife. But my bosses know your the main expert in this." Twitchell said.
"Burt." Sean said gaining his attention. "At the very least we need to make sure the job is done right. After all if a mistake is made it only make things worse and I doubt you want to live with the questions of what could have been if you had gone and done it yourself." Sean said making him sigh.
"No I can't. All right I want double the pay this time. I'm getting sick and tired of this." Burt said.
"Deal." Twitchell said.
Burt was getting his truck loaded up as Twitchell talked with Sean.
"Need I remind you I'm recovering here." Sean said.
"Look Burt listens to you easily. Just keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do something stupid like piss off the locals." Twitchell said.
"And what do I get out of this? You already gave Tyler something for his part in this." Sean said.
"I know some people who might help you with plans you got. Do this and I can get you in touch with them." Twitchell said.
"Sounds fair. Very well." Sean said walking to them before Valmet walked to him.
"Mind if I tag along?" Valmet asked.
"I thought you retired from fighting." Sean said making her grin.
"As much I love the private time we get together I do miss some of the action. Besides how often do you get the chance to hunt something that can hunt you down?" Valmet asked making him smirk as they got in the truck.
"You be careful now ok?" Korra asked.
"I may be vulnerable but I'm not helpless. Have fun." Sean said as they drove off.
"So...What do you wanna do?" Korra asked Rosalita who grins before they left.
Later
After meeting up with Twitchell at the Pioneer days festival they went looking for the Shriekers.
"So remind me again how these things operate." Sean asked.
"They hunt by heat sensors on the top of their heads. And they are a lot stronger than they look. They can rip through sheet metal. And unlike modern day animals they reproduce by eating enough." Burt said.
"I can see why they are so dangerous." Valmet said.
"Why exactly are you here by the way? Him I know why but why you?" Tyler asked making her grin.
"She's former Military. What better way to make sure this goes down smoothly than with someone who's seen combat in extreme situations." Sean said.
"You never told us that. What were you?" Burt asked.
"Former Finnish Rapid deployment forces. After the Chunin Exams were over I retired to explore the world. Or that was the plan till I met him." Valmet said making him smirk before the computer beeped.
"Found a group." Sean said as they rushed off.
Arriving at a house they saw a married couple running to them.
"Inside. Conceal your body heat." Burt said as Sean pulled out some bag from the truck. "Twitchell gave you that. What is it?" Burt asked before he opened it up. "Whoa." Burt said seeing a Mini Gun.
Valmet helped strap the Ammo container on his back.
"Lets give this a test run." Sean said making the barrels spin before the Shriekers ran in and he shredded them apart easily.
"And Twitchell only gave us regular old guns." Tyler said making Burt smirk.
Thats when a truck parked by.
"Who's that?" Valmet asked.
"If I had to guess whoever was sent before us." Sean said as a man walked out.
"Bill McClane, Fish and Wildlife service." McClane said.
"Tyler Reed. Burt Gummer. Ghost and Valmet. We were asked to come down here and help out." Tyler tried to say.
"I know who you are, and I don't need your help." McClane said.
"Clearly you do. If there are still Shriekers around." Sean said making him smirk.
"Well, if I did it wouldn't be from a criminal." McClane said.
"Excuse me?" Valmet asked.
"You think just because you got all that power inside you..." McClane tried to say.
"Shut up." Sean said making him frown. "I can see it now. Your arrogant. Try to prove you can do anything by yourself. Even if Civilians are killed you'll take pride in it. Your actions would sooner result in the deaths of hundreds and you would not even care. Your selfish." Sean said as they went to their truck. "And when that happens you can kiss your career goodbye." Sean said as they drove off.
Later
"Don't listen to him. He's just an arrogant cocksucker." Valmet said to Sean.
"Oh I know. I know his type. He's like Kiba and Sasuke. Thinks he can do everything himself and get all the credit. As far as I'm concerned he's nothing but deadweight." Sean said before they bumped into someone.
"Sorry."
Sean looked down seeing a woman with light brown skin black hair and blue eyes wearing a Blue Tube Top and Denim shorts Shorts.
"My apologies." Sean said helping her up.
"I was looking at my phone...Hey...Your him. The Ghost."
"The name is Sean Ashburn Kruger. I don't believe I caught yours." Sean said making her smile.
"Mikaela Banes. I'm what you call a wanderer. Go from place to place till I find the right place to settle. Was planning to leave when I heard about the Shriekers." Mikaela said. (From Transformers)
Thats when Burt and Tyler walked to them.
"Lets get out of here. We wasted our time as it is." Burt said.
"Depends on your point of view." Sean said before Twitchell walked to them.
"What are you guys doing? You can't be done already." Twitchell said.
"McClane blocked us." Sean said making him growl.
"That goddamn...He has no authority in this. Where is he?" Twitchell asked.
"Right here." McClane said walking to them.
"We talked about this. My division has authority." Twitchell said.
"Go back to your desk. Job is done." McClane said surprising them.
"You got the rest?" Sean asked.
"Mostly. Five of them." McClane said.
"Five? There were six." Burt said alarmed.
"Took it alive. For Study in captivity." McClane said.
"Like I said your arrogant. Where did you capture it?" Sean asked.
"I don't have to answer to you." McClane said before Sean grabbed him by the throat making him gasp.
"Do I look like I'm someone you can pushing around?" Sean asked.
"Easy now big guy." Mikaela said as he dropped him.
"I'll ask again. Where?" Sean asked.
"Fine. Some place not far from here. Kickers or kookers or something on it." McClane said.
"Klinkers? Thats a food storage building." Mikaela said alarmed.
"You arrogant fool." Sean said. "You know where it is?" Sean asked Mikaela asked.
"Yeah I can show you." Mikaela said as they got into Burt's truck.
"What are you doing? It's secured." McClane said.
"They reproduce by just eating enough. In other words you made the situation even worse you dumbass!" Burt said as they drove off.
Later
Burt's truck arrived where Mikaela told them.
"Oh my god." Mikaela said as McClane drove up and got out.
"How many do you think there are now?" Tyler asked.
"Depends on how much they ate." Sean said.
"I don't understand...I left some men to guard it." McClane said before Valmet saw the tracks before following them.
"Oh my god." Valmet said as the others arrived seeing the bloody mess of two police men torn to shreds.
"This is your doing. Your arrogance cost the lives of two men who served. You have to explain that to any widows and children they left behind." Sean said to McClane who looked horrified before he vomited.
"Thats no way to die." Burt said as Sean took a closer look seeing the engine was torn up.
"Why'd they destroy the engine?" Sean asked.
"They go for anything warm." Burt said before pulling out his computer to track them. "Damnit! Theres a hundred of them." Burt said.
"Lets go." Sean said getting in the back with the girls while McClane went into his truck and drove off with them.
Arriving at some facility they readied up.
Mikaela got the Ammo pack on Sean's back as he got his Minigun.
"You stick with me. I don't want them coming here and getting you in the process." Sean said making her nod before they went looking.
Thats when they heard shrieking making Sean narrow his eyes powering up the barrels.
Then a small group came at them only to get shredded easily.
Valmet saw a group before using her riffle on them before throwing a knife at the last one in the head.
Tyler and Burt gunned down a group while McClane did the same.
As Sean was gunning down a small group Mikaela heard foot steps and looked behind seeing one behind them.
"LOOK OUT!" Mikaela yelled as he turned and shredded it.
"Burt, one tried to come up behind. They might be changing tactics." Sean said on the radio.
"They get smart fast. They change their tactics we change ours." Burt said.
"Understood." Sean said.
"Little Turkey legs are running scared." McClane said.
"At best we killed at least half. Don't let your arrogance get the best of you. You already have blood on your hands as it is." Sean said.
"Let them come. Left, right and Center. I'll Swiss cheese the Little Mothers..." McClane tried to say before one was above him.
Thats when they heard him scream with his gun going off before they rushed after him.
Sean and Mikaela arrived first and she gasped holding her mouth seeing him a bloody mess with only his bones left as the others arrived.
"As I say Arrogance diminishes wisdom. He didn't deserve this though." Sean said.
"I'm not enjoying this anymore." Tyler said.
"I have an idea. We need to box them in." Valmet said.
"In one of these buildings?" Burt asked.
"Or something smaller. We just need to lure them in." Valmet said.
"I got a dumb suggestion. Live bait again." Mikaela said.
"Absolutely not." Sean said.
"I'm a fast runner. Besides this way your all in position to go in and take them all out." Mikaela said making him sigh.
"All right. I hope you know what your doing." Sean said as she ran off.
It only took a few minutes before she gathered the remaining shriekers to one shed big enough to contain them all.
"Nice work!" Burt yelled as they rushed out before aiming at the shed before shooting everything they had at it.
"YES!" Tyler yelled before Sean opened it before narrowing his eyes.
"You must be joking." Sean said seeing more than half of them in there where one was next to some pipe showing where the rest went.
"Slippery SOBs. God, I hate a smart animal!" Tyler said.
"And we just wasted every bullet we had left." Valmet said.
"Hmm." Sean said looking closer at the hole. "Now where does this go to?" Sean asked pulling up the computer to see where it led. "Oh dear." Sean said.
"Where does it lead?" Burt asked.
"Pioneer days." Sean said making them sigh.
Soon the five drove off again.
"How we gonna stop them? We're out of bullets." Valmet said.
"One of the locals told me theres someone in town who owns a gun collection. We got there and use it to wipe them out." Burt said.
"Stop right here." Tyler said seeing another car. "Valmet and I will try and get them to follow us. You three go and find them." Tyler said.
"Good idea." Sean said as Tyler was about to smash the window before Valmet just opened it up.
"Someone is not very careful." Valmet said finding the keys up top before they drove off.
Later
Sean and Burt continued to look for the house that had all the guns they needed.
"There." Sean said pointing to it before they parked.
"Hello!" Burt yelled trying to get in but no one answered.
"Thats not going to get un anywhere." Sean said grabbing the cable from the front of the truck and wrapped it around the barred window.
"Guys?" Tyler said on the radio.
"Gives us a sit-rep." Burt said.
"We're bringing the Shriekers to both of you. Twitchell is with us as well." Valmet said.
"Good. Follow the flare." Sean said shooting it in the air to show where they were.
Soon enough they arrived.
"You guys got the guns?" Tyler asked as the window was torn down.
"Lets go." Sean said as they went inside seeing the collection.
"Yes!" Tyler yelled.
"All right!" Twitchell said.
"All...Wrong." Burt said.
"Oh hell." Valmet said annoyed.
"What?" Twichell said.
"These are not modern guns." Sean said walking to them. "I know these kinds. Civil war Era kind." Sean said seeing Muskets in both riffle and pistol styles.
"You mean the kind you have to...Load up manually?" Mikaela asked demonstrating.
"Yeah." Burt said.
"Well, that just figures. Theres not enough of us to do this one shot each." Sean said.
Thats when they heard another car park out front making them rush out. Thats when they spotted George. A local they met with his baseball team.
"George? What are you doing here?" Sean asked.
"Saw those things chasing Tyler and Valmet. Decided to see if we could help out." George said.
"Now that your here you may have just made this easier." Sean said.
"What?" Burt asked.
"Theres more than enough of them here to line up and take them out." Sean said.
"Three ranks. Volley fire. That might just work." Burt said as they went inside.
"Tyler, Valmet go and make sure they don't wander off." Sean said.
"Right." Tyler said as they rushed off.
After loading up all the riffles up everyone was ready before Twitchell rushed to them.
"The Shriekers are coming!" Twitchell yelled.
"Use this." Sean said handing him a loaded one up while he had his own.
"What for my orders! Don't fire until you see the whites of their...Heat seeking organs." Burt said as the Shriekers started to show.
"Remind you of a Civil war showdown?" Valmet asked.
"Wouldn't know." Sean said aiming.
"Fire!" Burt yelled as the first rank fired shooting a couple killing one and wounded the other before the next rank moved up. "FIRE!" Burt yelled as they killed the wounded one and killed another.
Sean aimed before killing one with a head shot.
"FIRE!" Burt yelled as the next rank killed a few more.
Only one remained before Burt with a Blunderbuss shot the head blowing a hole clean through it.
"YES!" Burt yelled as they cheered.
"And Hirano says past weapons are inefficient." Sean said amused.
Later
Sean and the others were back at Perfection with Mikaela as Sean offered her a place at his home which she accepted.
While Sean was enjoying a drink watching Tyler's recovering of the events Nancy was doing the crosswords.
Thats when he looked seeing Tyler with a black eye getting treated by Jodi and Korra making him chuckle.
"Remind me again. How did he get that?" Rias asked making him chuckle.
"You'll see on the screen soon enough." Sean said.
"I got it. Shriek and Destroy." Nancy said making Burt look at her.
"Catchy." Burt said.
"I'd use it." Sean said before one specific part of the video appeared.
"Well, thats about all the action..." Tyler tried to say trying to stop it but Valmet snatched the remote.
"Oh I don't think so bud." Valmet said as it showed Tyler zooming in on Miss Pioneer days breasts making Sean snort before the boyfriend got pissed and punched him in the face making Korra gasp as Jodi took the bag of ice as she burst out laughing.
Sean chuckled as did Rias and the others.
"How is it you can get all the girls without that ever happening?" Tyler asked making him grin.
"Gifts from Aphrodite and other Gods of Love...And I'm not a pervert." Sean said making him sigh. "So what happened while we were gone?" Sean asked Korra and Rosalita who grin at each other.
