Unnatural: The Reverse

Chapter Six

"We got eyes on the target." Said Zach into the comms. They were back on the Opposite Earth. About to raid the factory. Zach was aiming down his sight, awaiting the signal to shoot.

"Alright," Walter said over the comms, "Shoot in three... two... one!"

Zach fired. He missed. This alerted the security.

"Frick." Said Zach. "Time to move in. You guys plant the C4. Me and Daylon will get the charges. Move in!"

They all moved in. Daylon held up his gun. He hated the idea of shooting people, but they were at war. He also was still in shock over the fact they were fighting his doppelganger. That was kinda weird. But none of that mattered at the moment. All that mattered was grabbing the charges.

"What room are they in?" asked Daylon.

"Storage room. This factory is run by idiots. They keep all the weapons in one room."

Zach shot as he was talking. He had become more dangerous since the war started, Daylon presumed. But only to the Reverse. Daylon was sure that regular humans would be fine.

The two ran into the factory and navigated to the storage room. They looked through the stuff until Daylon found a box labeled "Teleportation Charges".

"This is it." Said Daylon to Zach.

"Jackpot," Zach stated, "Grab everything you can."

Zach loaded all the charges he could fit into his bag. Daylon did the same. Then the wall burst open.

It was the Leader – the Reverse Daylon.

"So this is what you came for?" he said.

"Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" said Zach

"Um... kill you?" said the Reverse Daylon, "I thought that was obvious."

Zach held up his plasma gun.

"Kill this, Reverse murderer!" Zach held down the trigger. He didn't let go. Reverse Daylon dodged everything. Then Zach ran out of energy.

"Dammit!" Zach yelled. "Time to run!" So they ran. Reverse Daylon chased.

They ran until they reached a room. They ran in and barricaded the door.

"That was close." Said Zach. Then Zach began to speak into the comms. "Charges secured. Anybody still standing?"

"I'm the only one left, sir." Said a girl's voice on the other end. "Hogan and O'Donoghue are KIA. Robbins is missing. So is Norton."

"Damn." Said Zach, "May the dead rest in peace. Can you send in a dropship, De Souza?"

"Send you're coordinates. I'll be right there."

De Souza disconnected from the comms. Zach and Daylon soon heard a helicopter outside. They undid the barricade and opened the door. Reverse Daylon was nowhere to be found, and a helicopter was just outside the open window.

The two jumped to the helicopter and got in. They both made the jump. Zach moved up to the cockpit to talk with De Souza.

"Get us as far away from here as possible." He said.

"Did you set the bombs?" asked De Souza.

"Hell yeah," said Zach, "That's why we need to get far away. The timer goes off in one minute."

De Souza flew the helicopter. Who knew a fourteen-year-old could fly a goddamn helicopter? Though Daylon. But he didn't have time to contemplate it. He watched from the back of the helicopter out the window as the timer went off and the factory was blown to bits.
