Re: The Ship and Stake out Pt 1
<Continued from before>
"Let me give you a hand." Dante reached down and helped Mk pull Chris
back into the craft. It wasn't easy even for the two of them, pulling
in a near dead weight with all that force acting against them, but
they did it.
"Thanks lads." breathed Chris trying to straighten out his uniform
and regain his composure.
"For a moment there I thought I would be in charge back then." joked
the robot.
"You in charge!" Exploded the Alien,
"I thought we had sorted this I was gonna be in charge, me, Mk."
replied the droid squaring up nose to whatever robots have that
resembles a nose, with Dante.
"Don't mean to interrupt the touching security reunion back there but
we still have another helicopter to deal with." informed Jay from the
pilots seat.
"Good point where is he now?" asked Chris
"There." Snapped the Commander pointing to three smiling, waving
turtles stood in an adjacent Black Hawk. They stopped smiling and
pointed their guns at the battered helicopter and its rather pi$$ed
crew. The tension was high, who would shoot, whoever did was
condemning themselves to death as well as their enemy.
"Don't shoot!" Chris hissed under his breath at his Lt's. "You'll
kill us all."
A few moments passed. "I got an idea sir." Dante, who was stood
behind the wall of the aircraft out of view to the other helicopter
and its crew, began to explain his plan to his superior.
"Right well if your willing, I mean it is quite dangerous and that.
Oh and on your way back if you would be so kind as to remove the
turtle from the undercarriage, what with all the excitement I quite
forgot." Chris whispered back through the side of his mouth so as not
to draw attention from the turtles.
"Right will do sir. Now if you to would be so kind as to just move a
wee bit. Thanks"
Chris and Mk moved out of the door way giving the turtles a happy
smile and wave as they walked to the back of the aircraft.
"PULL OVER AND PREPARE TO BE BOARDED" The turtle's voice boomed
through the loud speaker system, just making it over the sound of
both engines.
"WHERE IT'S NOT AS IF THERE ARE ANY LAY BY'S UP HERE YOU KNOW!"
Replied Cmdr Chrysler through his own loudspeaker system.
"THERE IS ONE JUST THERE." The Turtle pointed to a air sign
indicating a lay by 2 nautical miles ahead.
"Oh!" said the pilot to him self.
Dante readied himself. "Dante
?" Asked Jay.
"Yes Sir," the security officer replied whilst holstering his combat
knife and double pistols.
"Are you doing what I think your doing?" Jay had brought the
helicopter to a stop in the lay by. Both engines from the two Black
hawks were humming steadily, well the Dwarfer's stolen one was
misfiring and everything.
"And what would that be?" asked the 7ft alien as he adjusted his ammo
belt round his waist.
"Your gonna leap over there kill them all leap back and we can all go
home." replied the Cmdr calmly, he trusted the skills of the
security officers, well maybe not all of them but definitely Dante.
"Well almost, I am gonna jump over there, and when I do you are gonna
put your foot down and get the hell away from them. I will kill them
all then radio back when done, then you can come back and get me if I
am still alive. If not you go and get Seymour without me."
"Right okay so when are you jumping across?" Jay turned to look back
down the craft but did not see the alien, he turned and looked out
the window just in time to see the two turtles looking bemused as
they fell one after the other from the doors of the helicopter. Jay
did not know if they had jumped or been thrown. "SMEG!!" Jay hit the
go faster button hard.
Meanwhile Dante was struggling with the third guard in the back. He
was trying to stop the turtle from firing his weapon in to Dante
while keeping the turtle pilot from flying after Jay.
Dante squeezed the turtles wrist hard maybe too hard. ZAAP ZAAP. The
alien weapon shoot two rounds into the roof of the helicopter,
piercing the engine. Fuel began to pour all over the place and Dante
could hardly see as he was blinded by aviation fuel. "JAY," He
shouted into his intercom, "Jay, you may need to come back and get me
later this chopper is gonna blow. See you in the next life mate."
"Hang on Buddy were coming back for you."
"Jay don't bother." Dante spat a collection of fuel into the turtles
face stunning him, this gave Dante the opportunity to follow through
with a devastating head butt to the bridge of the turtles square
nose. "I'll be okay I'm tough as Efof's under cackers. And Chris?"
"Yes Dante?"
"Tell Mk I'm still the second in command
Dante out."
Jay, Chris and Mk didn't know what happened. But as they watched the
enemy helicopter imploded slightly then exploded in a huge fire ball.
"DANTE
. DANTE
. Come In Dante
" Chris called down the radio. The
only reply he could here was static.
Unknown time later
Dante stirred, he ached all over. And he smelt real bad to. The pain
his back and neck was almost blinding. That smell, it smelt of the
Seymour's posh kitchen, no better in fact, the smell of napalm
charred skin. It was napalm charred skin, Dante was covered in burns.
Dante brought his left arm up level with his face, he slid his right
index finger half way down the centre of his forearm from wrist. A
computer console blinked into life. Protected by the suit Dante could
see that bar the small amount of lung cancer he had acquired from all
the smoke and the burns to his skin he was only bruised. Dante pushed
some more buttons and the suit administered some of Dr Keto's famous
ointment 64 to Dante, relieving him from pain.
As Dante regained the ability to feel, as the pain wore off, he also
regained his sight and his bearings. Dante could see a helicopter
flying miles above him. He wasn't sure whether it was Jay, Chris and
Mk or more turtle's. Deciding not to take the risk Dante moved into
cover under some trees and in some low level foliage.
As the helicopter disappeared from view Dante decided to try and find
some high ground in which to radio back to Chris. The soldier turned
a spotted a rise not to far from his current location and decided to
head for the peak.
Dante reached the peak within the hour and took five to check his
radio was still working.
"Major Harris come in please
Major Harris this is Lt Wendigo radio
check, over."
"Major Harris here Dante am I glad to here your voice where are you,
over."
"I don't know exactly, wait out." Dante scanned the area below
him, "How's that chopper working for you sir, I think I have found
something Jay might prefer, Over."
"The choppers in a state we have got some of the guys from
engineering working on it now, but it won't get us off the planet.
Why what have you found? over."
"It look's like a class II Warp powered Interplanetary cluster ship,
but I can't be sure? Why do you want it?"
"What's the security like Dante?"
"I don't know let me get closer and stake it out. Get a lock on my
GPS transmitter and send a small team to help out, Over"
