I Now Realize

Chapter 14: Epidemic Begins (part 4 out of 4)

Outside the base,
Darius's POV
I never had the time of my life! I didn't do anything stupid, really. Let's just say I was bored. All I did was do my little missions to sneak up on enemies and blow up their cars. With a friend, of course. I can remember just like as if it was yesterday...
Flashback: Yesterday.
I was driving like a maniac so that certain people wouldn't capture me. Two of them were from Astoroth's allies. Their faces were priceless when my friend and I stole their cars. And they weren't just any car. They were classic cars. It was like stealing the most precious thing from a kid. The one I was driving was a 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda. The one my friend was driving was a 1964 Pontiac GTO. They were beautiful rides. Anyway...back to the flashback.
"Aw, F--k yeah!! We are so busted!" My friend, Zack, was literally laughing for thirty minutes straight after we stole their cars. We only did that, because our resources told us that these cars have golden cases in the trunks. It was funny when we both thought we out drove them. But we were wrong.
"Hyah!" Xaver punched the window of the passengers seat and threw a heavy ball at my midsection. I almost swerved off the road and hit a few cars next to me. If you're a guy and don't use steroids, it freakin hurts! I try to suppress the pain as I punched Xaver in the face and then hit his forehead on the wheel. He then got half of his body in the car and tried to attack me. Thanks to my friend, Zack, he shot a tranquilizer at Xaver's butt. Oh. My. F--king. Glob. (Yes, I said glob for you adventure time fans.)
Xaver's face looked like he was constipated and then went out cold with half of his body hanging out the passengers window. Oh, I wish I had a camera. After that, we took the golden cases and went to N.A.S.A and sneaked on their rocket and went to mars to party with the martians. By the way, them martians have good clubs and beer, too. Then we were shoved into a huge cat fur ball and kicked out of their planet and landed on earth again. Last, the huge fur ball turned into swiss cheese and we ended up looking like tall macaroni people. And the rest of my flashback, you do not want to know. Actually, I lied about that martian part except the golden cases, my friend and I actually stole them. And the cars. But then we drove off the cliff and jumped out the cars. They were beautiful cars, it's a sin to destroy a beautiful car. Especially a classic one. Experts on cars, you people would understand. Yeah.
Alright...end of flashback!

Back to the story with Darius and Zack
Still Darius's POV
my friend and I were just walking, enjoying the sunset as we carried the golden cases. Zack paused and looked pale when I glanced at him.
"Something up?" I asked.
"Th-that..." He pointed at a Shadow-Shifter. I turned to look at the same Shadow-Shifter. Only... I sensed something different from this one. This Shadow-Shifter had black eyes, a thin line of baby blue between the cold blue marine iris and eye color. It's fangs were bared, snarling at us and acting territorial, as if it owned this part of the alley.
"Zack, get and stay behind me." I quietly warned him.
Zack slowly went behind me and observed the territorial coming approaching us. I remained calm and slowly tried to reach for my six inched knife. The Shadow-Shifter only snarled louder at Zack, who seemed to be showing fear.
"Calm down." I whispered.
"Well, I remind you that I'm human. I'm trying to remain calm." Zack gulped.
"Try harder. I can take care of this a-hole." Just when I was about to attack, the Shadow-Shifter attacked me at the right shoulder, almost biting me. Then a certain hero jumped into the situation. And her name is Alue.
"What are you doing here?!" I asked, widening my eyes.
"Saving your butts! That's what I'm doing!" Alue was choking the Shadow-Shear by head locking it. Which was funny how it struggled to get out of her grip. It looked like it had rabies.
Then Zack and I stared at Alue with shock when she snapped the Shadow-Shifters neck.
"Why you do that?!" I raised my arms in the air.
"That's why I was tracking you guys down. There is a epidemic going on and you guys almost got infected if it bit you. You guys had my a-s worried sick!" Alue sighed and face palmed.
"What do you mean 'infected'?!" Zack showed confusion on his features.
Alue calmed down and simply said, "First; let's go back to the hideout. Second; Jake and I will explain."
Zack and I agreed and we all went back to the hideout.
