In the morning, Mad was the first to
wake up. He had his eyes closed at
this point, just resting them but he
felt oddly aware of something, "I
sense… a presence," he said and
opened them. There was a man
standing over the car, he looked
rather angry as he studied the
physical condition of it.
"You, get out of my fucking car!" he
yelled and ripped Mad from the
driver seat and threw him hard onto
the ground, "How dare you! Look
what you've done to my beautiful
car!" he pulled mad up to his face
holding tightly to his collar.
Mad put his hands up, "There there,
it's not as bad as it could be. I was
planning on attaching rockets to it,
at least it's not totally destroyed…
Yet…" he chuckled and the man
slammed his face into the bumper
of the car.
"You see that sticker?" he
questioned, angrily.
"Aye… It's a lovely red emblem…"
The man drug Mad's face up the
side of the car and back in his own
face, when he yelled, spit flew out
all over Mad's face, "You took a
gang members car! You expect me
to be nice about this!"
Mad didn't even flinch, "You spat on
me…" his eye twitched, "You spat on
me… I don't take kindly to this!"
Kira and Shade had been stirred
from the commotion going on
outside, it was still really late and
definitely not time to get up. Shade
looked at Ace and Vocol, who were
still sleeping soundly with the
yelling going on.
"You better be careful, you hurt me
and they'll come after you," Mad
said, glaring at the man, "Unhand
me!"
The man smiled, you could see it in
his eyes, "I think not, I am not done
with you and the chicken shit friends
you have, I doubt they'll come help
you." He looked at his arms noticing
some bandages, he grabbed Mad's
shoulder, "So, you've got a wound
here don't you?"
Mad didn't say anything, he had
enough of this man, "I'd be careful."
Was the only thing he said before
the man dug a finger into the
healing wound causing Mad to
flinch. "You know," he flinched
again as the finger was pushed
farther in and blood began to ooze
out, "Why am I not fighting back?"
he growled and tore off his gas
mask. He looked furious and bit the
man's hand that was pinning him to
the car.
He let out a surprised yelled that
was just enough to wake up both
Ace and Vocol who then proceeded
to get out of the car quickly. Vocol of
course fell onto his face as he
struggled to get out. Ace was right
next to Mad staring the man down,
he was so mad, he didn't even care
who this man was. He grabbed the
man by the throat and looked him in
the eye, "You're a threat, I don't like
threats around my friends," his hand
tightened and the man began to
struggle, he even kicked Ace but it
barely did anything.
Ace just glared at him, "Nope," he
said before using his own face to
smash the man's skull in. When he
was unconscious, he just about to
finish him before Vocol came up to
him and grabbed his arm.
"I have an idea…" he said, taking the
man, "Do we have ropes?" he
questioned. Ace didn't know what
Vocol was up to but got him the
ropes anyway. Vocol then took the
ropes and tied the man to the back
of the car, "When he wakes up, we
drive and scare the first large beast
we can. When it's chasing us, we let
it get him. We can hear him
screaming as we leave them
behind!" he laughed.
Ace shrugged, he was alright with
this plan. He looked at Mad now
and saw the blood, "That the wound
is from Harris?"
Mad nodded, picking up his mask,
"It is, it was almost healed until
now." He grumbled, "I'll need new
bandages, those are contaminated.
You didn't happen to find any
medical supplies did you?"
"I didn't but you've got a blow torch
right? I've got some metal."
Mad shrugged, "That'll do." He
turned the torch on, "Metal please,"
Ace handed him the metal and Mad
burned it until it was red, "Here," he
handed Ace the metal and pushed
up his sleeve. Ace pressed it onto
the bleeding wound causing Mad to
bite his lip from the pain. When it
was sealed closed, he removed the
metal and tossed it behind him.
"I've got some antibiotics from the
other place just no wraps."
Ace smirked and walked over to the
man, he tore off the cleanest portion
of the man's shirt and helped Mad
dress the wound. They then got
back in the car with Ace in the front
seat and drove back to the main
road. The car didn't seem to like it
much so it was bucking and stalling
a lot, "Damn this inferno piece of
metal!" Mad yelled and stomped the
gas petal. It lurched forward and
stalled again, he tried to turn it on
but it wouldn't turn over.
"I'll be right back…" he got out of the
car and popped the hood. Smoke
bellowed out of it, "The hell is this?"
The man on the back of the car
began to laugh, "I figured if it was
broken, I'd make it unable to run for
even you."
Mad slammed the hood down and
proceeded to the back of the car. He
untied the man from the back of the
car and threw him on the ground.
The man lay on the ground
laughing, ropes were still around his
feet and wrists so he couldn't run
away. The laughs were ignored as
Mad opened the trunk, he pulled out
a rocket big enough to carry a full
grown man.
Mad drug the man to the middle of
the road and at least fifteen feet
away from the car. "Hope you like to
fly!" he said and tied the man up to
the rocket before setting the fuse on
fire.
When it shot off, the man continued
to laugh, "Hope you die out here!" he
laughed as the rocket took off and
up into the sky. Mad just watched it,
ignoring everything that was being
said. When it exploded he turned
and came face to face with another
large mutated creature that had
come to investigate the commotion
going on. "What the hell are you
looking at?" he said before grabbing
it's face and slamming it head first
into the ground and curb stomping it
till it stopped moving.
Mad had blood covering his boots
and pants when he entered the car,
"We're stranded." He grumbled, "A
useless car that won't move and no
other vehicles around."
Shade sat up in the back seat, "We
are on a street and cars drive on
streets, me and Ace can scout ahead
and see if there's anything that we
can drive."
"Good idea, the rest of us will wait
here."
When Shade and Ace got out of the
car, Mad locked the door and sat
back in his seat. Vocol just stared
outside watching the creatures as
the other two wondered down the
street in search of a vehicle, "I hope
they come back with something
bigger than this car." Vocol said.
Mad yawned, "Well, I am going to
nap while they are out searching
around." he closed his eyes and fell
quickly asleep.
Ace and Shade were walking down
the highway and there wasn't a
single vehicle which upset Shade,
"You'd think that there'd be cars on
the highway!" he grumbled and
kicked a rock down the road.
Ace looked on ahead while Shade
was to busy kicking the rock along
the pavement, "There," Ace pointed,
"There's a city there but it'll take us
a while to get there we should get
the others, if we can make it down
there before nightfall, we should be
able to stay in one of those
buildings and find a working
vehicle." he turned to head back
when he noticed Shade just staring,
"What's wrong with you?"
He looked over at him, "Without a
vehicle?" he asked.
"It's all we can do," Ace responded.
"Without a vehicle we can not carry
everything that's in that trunk!"
Ace shrugged, "We'll have to hide
the car and take what's important
then come back and load up the
new vehicle."
Shade sighed, "This is a dangerous
trip…" he turned and started to walk
back towards the others. When they
arrived, the car was surrounded by
large mutated creatures. One was
like the other one back at the plant,
"We'll have to kill those first before
we go though," Shade sighed again
and pulled out his sword.
"That'll be easy, you get the big one
with the body in it's back and I'll
destroy the smaller things."
Shade leapt up onto the car and got
the larger mutant's attention, he
then proceeded to jump into the air
and land on it's head as it roared
and flung him off to the side. Shade
crashed into some rocks and
gasped from the sharp pain, "This'll
be easy he says," he grumbles and
gets back up just in time to dodge
the bull rush from the creature.
While he was battling the larger
beast, Ace was practically smashing
the heads of the smaller ones with a
large rock he had found.
He felt pretty happy about himself,
"This is easy," he looked over to
Shade and saw he was struggling
with the big creature, "Now that'll be
fun!" he said as he ran up it's back
and tore the wolf like body from it's
back and smashed in it's chest
cavity with his foot, "Thanks for the
distraction."
Shade glared at him, "You did that
on purpose didn't you?"
Ace smiled, "Of course, I didn't want
the smaller mutants getting in the
way when I killed the ugly ass big
thing." he went to the car and
tapped on the window.
Mad opened the door, "Any good
news?" he asked.
Ace explained the situation with the
city beyond the hills and the others
began to pack up what was needed
before putting the car in neutral and
pushing it off the side of the road
into a ditch covered in broken
branches and weeds. The car was
completely hidden and they would
return later to get the supplies.
"You're sure we'll find something?"
he asked.
"I believe so, and maybe we can get
something bigger than that car."
Mad laughed, "It'll be faster that's
for sure! Come on, let's get going."
he looked at Ace, "Make sure Vocol
keeps up with us."
Ace nodded and walked up to Vocol.
They began their walk down the
street towards the city that was
mentioned before. It would be a long
journey for them but that didn't stop
them, they just wanted to find
safety before nightfall.
