Chapter Six: Split Paths
-
Jack squeezed Ree’s temple, blocking his vision and giving him a hell of a headache.. He then tilted his head, hearing the knocking.
“Apollo, take care of it. You’re not gonna want to see this.” Jack took another drag, the orange tip glowing.
“Won’t tell me? Fine. You deserve it.” Jack lifted his hand, jabbing Ree in the eye. He put a mouth over Ree, preventing his screams as he rotated the still smoking cigarette in his eye.
“I’ll do the other one if you won’t shut the fuck up!” Jack whispered vehemently, holding onto the struggling Ree.
-
Ree blows on Jack’s hand, overpowering it backwards before blinking the cigarette out.
“You forget about most of my Andaluza abilities.” Ree used his good eye to attempt to explode Jack again.
-
Apollo opened the door to the man and quickly ran back with a metal extractor, centered at Ree’s neck.
“Jack, hold him down!” Apollo held the extractor to Ree’s neck, slowly creating a metal imprint of Ree’s biotech system as it began to come out of his neck.
-
Jack punched him in the face, the force of the blow knocking the chair over and throwing Ree to the floor, on his side. Jack lifted the chair again, tearing a piece of cloth off and binding Ree’s eyes, preventing him from using his powers.
“Let’s use something different, then.”
-
Jack punched him in the face, the force of the blow knocking the chair over and throwing Ree to the floor, on his side. Jack lifted the chair again, tearing a piece of cloth off and binding Ree’s eyes, preventing him from using his powers.
“Let’s use something different, then.”
-
Apollo pulled out the metal chip and crushed it in his palm.
“Jack, he can’t hurt you anymore. Now’s a good time to proceed.”
-
“Gotcha.” Jack took another drag, the cigarette almost empty.
“Maybe not your eye this time…tell me, can you feel it now?” Jack pulled aside a piece of Ree’s clothing, exposing his neck. He stabbed the burning cigarette near the flesh on his collarbone, the searing flesh smelling disgusting.
-
Ree screamed as his biotech computer was removed, his eyes aimed to the air and empty as if he were drowning from a loss of ability.
“No! Give it back!”
-
Jack rolled his eyes.
“Apollo, you take over the torture for a bit. I’ll handle the joker who welded the door.” Jack walked over to the door, cracking his knuckles. He lightly rapped the metal door.
“I’ll give you ten seconds to tell me what you want. After that, I’m opening this door. Your ten seconds begin…now.” Jack said.
-
Apollo stared into Ree’s neck, welding a hole in it as well with his eyes, with four hundred times the intensity of the cigarette. “Burns now, doesn’t it?!”
-
Ree screamed as he went limp, however the broken parts of the chip gravitating to his neck and reinfusing as he hit Apollo with the back of his head.
“Ah, magnetism. A powerful ally, isn’t it?”
Ree then blew up the chair and created a massive shockwave towards Apollo, knocking him across into the side of the warehouse. “I’m sorry. Let’s go see what I can do!”
-
Apollo, caught off guard, fell to the floor, looking at Ree. “How…did you get that back?”
-
“Holy shit!” Jack said, staring at Apollo.
“You need help, bud?” He yelled across the warehouse.
-
“First of all, I want Ree dead.”
“Second of all, if I don’t get that… well I have about a dozen remote high voltage gamma emitters rigged up around the building, it should be able flood enough radiation to turn all of you brains into clam chowder within about 10 seconds if you can’t get out in time.”
“So I’d be careful about ripping doors at the moment, or I might have to make some executive decisions if you know what I mean.”
“I just want Ree dead though, and I definitely don’t need anymore motives for my arrest, thoughts?”
-
Apollo yelled back at Jack. “Nah, it’s cool!”
