Chapter Six: Split Paths
-
Andaluza took a step back, lifting up a gun. “Wait, but those are The Keepers we’re talking about. They’re a band of powerhouses who don’t give a shit about the law. The only thing they’ll do is rescue people…wait…we can manage. We’re taking the gunship, I loaded them with torpedoes.”
-
Ree stared deep into Andaluza, his biotech eye whirring with anger. “You mean to tell me, that you are scared of two Ascendii and an ex-experiment? Right now, you are D-4, not Andaluza.”
-
Andaluza quickly backed. “No, no. Jack-I mean the ex-experiment won’t come. It’s usually the Ascendii who arrive first.”
-
Ree smiled. “Perfect. Their bones are ductile, but they can be crushed. Do you have any bone crushing abilities, Andaluza?”
-
Andaluza shrugged. “That’s really mean, crushing someone without a fight. Speaking of which, what else did you install using my blood?”
-
Ree smiled evilly, his eyes flashing the bright silver of the SL hormone. “Oh…you might know a lot of things. The blood…well…” Ree held open the empty vial. “I used it to install them all.”
Ree slugged Andaluza in the shoulder and walked down to the gunship.
-
Andaluza waited until Ree was gone then opened up a comm. “Apollo! I’m sorry but Ree has completely lost it! He installed all the abilities I have on himself and still has room for more! He’s a ticking time bomb and will not stop at anything! Now he’s going somewhere!”
-
Ree went to the main room, grabbing Andaluza by the hand. “We’re going to Hesperia. That court case is closed.”
-
Apollo stared into the comms and quickly faded to worry. “Wait, who? You joined what?! Nevermind that, what can Ree do. Correction, what can WE do to Ree?”
-
Andaluza slaps the comm down and follows Ree. “Fine.” He then whispered. “Get to Hesperia.”
-
Ree looked at Andaluza, weirdly. “What was that?”
-
Apollo quickly loaded up Jack’s ship with fuel and supplies for the trip to Hesperia. “Pandora, we’re about to go.”
-
Ree hit the thruster and rocketed the spaceship to Hesperia, prepping the hyperdrive.
-
“Alright”, she said then stepped in.
-
Apollo locked the boarding ramp. “You want to fly first? We’re going to Hesperia so you should spend the next half hyperventilating and hoping you don’t freak out when you see someone scary.”
