The City Park
The park is in the center of the city. There is a few acres of land stretched out. Although some are still standing, most of the trees have died from the toxic fumes in the air or were torn down by nearby explosions. A lake resides in the middle of the park. It is literally a cesspool of filth and sludge swirled together with blood.
City park-1
The rebels and the keepers finally came to a halt in front of one another in their vehicles. The creature following them each seemed to have vanished, yet the ground still rumbled a little.
Rose poked her head out of the window and noticed a familiar blond haired man in the back of the other vehicle. "Awkward...."
Haze eyes widened as she saw the other group. She saw a chance to take them out immediately. All of them. But this thing chasing them didn't seem to care about peacekeepers or rebels. They would need each other.
Drago noticed Haze's reaction first. He growled quietly. If she thought that she would take them all out right now she was badly mistaken. They needed each other now more than ever
Cheyenne stopped on her leg skates and thought she would be first to speak up, "I assume you have the same issue that we do?"
"Big giant robot monster?"
Drago asked her with an arched eyebrow. He pointed over his shoulder. "We've got one, do you?"
Cheyenne nodded, it was even more frightening to know that there were two of these things running around. "Temporarily put our differences aside until these bastards are dead?" she asked, knowing he was thinking the same.
"As long as we don't have to, you know, be happy about it."
Drago replied with a smirk.
Chey grinned, liking this guys sense of humor. She looked at the SUV with Rose and Strange, "Prepare!" she ordered.
TNT circled around slowly until he stood next to Rose; he bumped her hip with his lightly "Hey, wanna help me do something fun?" he hissed in her ear.
Rose had been standing outside of the vehicle when TNT bumped against her. She crossed her arms and cocked her head to the side, "Depends on what it is."
"Biiiiig bada boom"
TNT chuckled "We need something big to take out these suckas..." He was visably dancing from one foot to the other in hope of making something blow up.
"Not...FUNNY!"
Rose shouted, swinging her mace at his direction.
TNT danced back and kicked the mace towards the floor "Not kidding, I have a massive store around here. Wanna go get bombed?"
"Idiot."
Rose rolled her eyes, so much for keeping the two of them a secret.
Raven Came screeching to a halt. Dust from the road billowed up around her. "I shot it with that... thing you made. Should have turned the thing to butter. Didn't phase it." The fact that the Peacekeepers where here had not gone unnoticed. However she assumed peace treaty had been devised. "I take it this is temporary?"
"As temporary as you want it to be,"
Teucer said, secretly hoping this would lead to some peace. Granted, it was no Geneva Convention, but it was closer than they'd been for years and years. She stood up in the car, standing on the seat.
Raven noticed Teucer, the Peacekeepers notorious sniper. She'd never gotten a good glimpse of her she knew her by shape. Her silhouette. They'd once sat for three days in the depths of the city. Unsure of the other's location. Relying on skill to survive and not end up in the other's cross hairs. She'd killed more rebels than almost any Peacekeeper. Then again Raven had taken out her fair share of Pks as well.
"We shot it with our best weapon and it barely even scratched it. Should have blown the damn thing apart."
Drago informed them. He clenched his fists. "The way I see it, we've got very little time before they're both on top of us. TNT's got a hell of a store around here somewhere. And I'm sure that Rose of your's as a little something here too. Between our two crazies we should be able to destroy those things."
"TO THE WAREHOUSE!"
TNT cried, reaching into his pocket. He fished around a bit, then pulled out a toyota car transmitor which he waved dramatically. There were a hundred small
Byoops from somewhere below the surface and a large rock began to slide sideways to reveal a hatch underneath it.
With that,
Rose slapped TNT clean across the cheek unexpectedly.
TNT blinked, then simply tossed his arms in the air "FOREPLAY!" he screamed before squeezing Rose in an almost bonebreaking hug. He'd done this to Haze almost so no one would truly suspect anything.
Rose grunted a little as her petite body was hoisted up into the air. She didn't have a choice in moving or not. "I'll do
more then that if you just let me go.." he whispered seductively.
TNT looked around wildly then whispered in her ear "Well, I didn't have much of a plan what else to do past this anyway..." he dropped her.
Immediately when
Rose was set down, she swung her arm lower and bent. Rose punched him firmly in the stomach. She grinned, it clearly was some sort of sign of affection.
TNT coughed as he doubled up, kissing the top of her head secretly when he bent over.
Chey rolled her eyes, the two didn't seem to quarrel normally. They must've met before.
Raven slid between Chey and drago. She took Chey's arm and directed her a few steps away "So we're goin in with these bozos? You know better than me Chey that these guys are gonna throttle us first chance they get. We'd stand a better chance on our own. The tunnels have always worked before."
Chey moved away with Raven, "It's not like we have a choice in the matter. Now we know that there are two of those things and they are heading here now. Just be on your guard about those bastard keepers. Besides...afte
r this shit blows over, we have to make sure that we are the first to strike."
Raven Put her hands on her hips and looked down nodding. Not in submission but thinking. "Alright..." She looked back up at Chey "If we have to scat there are a few tunnel ascesses in the area. We can blow off the Keepers and make a go of it if they decide to turn coat on us." She'd agreed to adhere to Chey's orders but she'd have no regrets in spilling a little blood
Haze had kept her mouth shut for a while. She was trying to adhere to the idea that Drago and his Keepers knew the area better than she. However, to the group she offered a tactical idea. "You do understand what's coming for us? we might want to find cover."
"Not to mention we could easily take their supplies and weaponry during this brief comradery," Strange murmured to Chey.
Cheyenne nodded, "I like that idea too. Wait a second....now they know your with us." she muttered, completely forgetting about his spy mission on the keepers.
"I've hardly been noticed," Strange purred in her ear, taking off his hat and raking back his slick hair. He tucked his hat into his jacket and buttoned it up. Somehow this combination cast his facial structure in a completely different light, causing one to think that maybe he had a passing resemblance to a certain actor. "They'll ask me, 'weren't you in the movies?'"
Cheyenne lifted her eyebrows a little. His sudden gesture seemed almost romantic and seductive. She smirked, this being the first real time she was able to fully see Strange, "Your handsome enough to have been." she commented.
Strange couldn't help but smile at her compliment. "Oh, I know who the real star of the show is," He said warmly, his arm wrapping around her waist and pulling her close.
Cheyenne blinked with wide eyes at his movement. It soon eased into a grin, "I was wondering when you were going to make a move." It was almost like she knew the whole time.
"You've been holding out on me?" Strange asked, something predatory slowly creeping into his voice. "Bitch." With a swift motion he suddenly pressed his lips into hers tightly, his stubble rough on her soft skin. His grip around her tightened, pressing her against him.
Chey kissed back, resting a hand on his rough cheek. Her other hand gripped tightly to his jacket, pulling it firmly to her. The corners of her mouth grinned as they kissed.
"Get a room you two" TNT mumbled, ignoring the fact he and Rose had just been doing their own strange mating ritual a few moments ago. He almost picked Rose up bodily and ran off towards the hole in the ground that lead to his stores.
"After you Mr. Grant." Raven said letting him lead the way. She rolled her eyes and looked seriously at Chey. She'd address that once they weren't all about to be vaporized by a gigantic metal monster.
It felt like an eternity of awesome. Strange didn't catch what anyone else was saying, or if anyone had said anyone at all. Their kiss finally broke, and he couldn't help but grin, having finally captured his prize. "Is that the best you got?"
"Come on," Teucer drove the car after TNT. "If we're showing these bastards our stores we better not need to use them twice. Better to empty it out entirely this time."
"CAN WE GO!?" Raven finally snapped "Can we please hide from the enormous robot trying to kill us all? It would really make me feel better."
Chey smirked and snapped out of it. She ran into the vehicle and grabbed a few last things before coming back and hustling Strange into the tunnel with her. "Could we hold on that thought?" she asked, heading down.
TNT dragged Rose down the steps and along the trail beneath; he hadn't trapped it because it all waited in the end. "What you want to play with first?"
Raven slung her rifle over her shoulder and holstered a sawn-off. She hurried over to her bike and kicked up the stand. No way she was leaving her baby behind. She followed Chey with a determined look on her face.
"Your spleen..." Rose whispered seriously as she was hurried down the chute.
"Explosives first" TNT giggled, patting her head as he ran "You can have my spleen afterwards."
"Focus TNT. We need the biggest explosion you can muster. And if you can, make it twice." Drago informed him. "We've got two targets to hit, remember?"
TNT stopped so abruptly that Rose almost shot past him into the pile of explosives. He stopped this by letting go of her, falling backwards from over balancing and gripping her while flipping over. The end result was TNT the right way up, holding Rose upsidedown in his arms. Admiring the veiw he set her down the right way then turned to the almost mountain of explosives. There were sculpted mounds of plastic explosives, lakes of bottled napalm, piles of grenades, custom modified bullets with the guns and you could swear there was a rocket under there somewhere.
"I wish I knew where he got all this shit," Teucer grumbled, pulling the car up next to the hill of explosives. "Are we baiting this fucker into walking onto giant fuckup mines, or what?" She murmured to Drago, quiet enough for only him to hear. "What's your plan?"
Chey was getting a little irritated with TNT and Rose's behavior. She was a traitor and didn't seem to care.
Rose pulled out a wedgie after she was set the right way up. "I want some crackers..."
"I'm sorry but I only have bananas and nuts" TNT grinned foolishly, staring up at the piles "I'm sure you can find something that goes crack up there."
"Simple, Teucer." Drago told her with a confident smile. "We let TNT do his thing against those robot monstrosities, hopefully it'll take most of his explosives to do so. I'm a bit uncomfortable with how large this stash has gotten...and then we move on to the rebels."
The two robots finally made it into the park, one could tell minutes before from the shaking of the Earth as they walked. Their lasers completely vaporized what was left of trees and plant life.
TNT grabbed soemthing that looked like a fire hose from the floor; he stuck one end into the pile of plastic explosives and aimed the nozzle towards the way the robots were coming. He was gonna coat the robots with plastic explosives if he could.
"We're gonna die." Raven said in her usual cheery manner
"AND HOW!" TNT yelled happily; the accoustics in this place were great. They had to be really; if a pin dropped you'd hear it and need to find it quick before the grenade went off.
"Get your cocky ass moving and use this shit!" Chey shouted at TNT, "We don't have time to dick around with small talk!"
"I'm waiting for it to get through!" TNT yelled back as he aimed the nozzle of the plastic explosive hose.
The ground shook at the robots came into view. They synced and suddenly stopped. Their lasers locked onto them using their heat sensors.
TNT fired up the hose and it began to spray have liquid plastic explosives towards the first robot; he wasn't aiming more past the massive metal bots.
Despite all the attempts to stay alive, everyone died. Plot was lost and character development and relations ceased. I'm done beating a dead horse.
