Chapter Eight ~ Fight nightI never felt so Afraid in my life...like my heart was ready to leap out of my chest. It also doesn't help one bit that Ai is Strangely Quiet stupid AI.... I carefully shooked my left sleeve trying to dislodge some of my stun Spheres stored in a small cache strapped just above my wrist, doing my best not to let the Armed thugs realized what I was doing.
The Jerk with the Revolver Smirked. " give us all your valuables and we will let you live." Waving his gun Lazily at my direction.
"That sounded so corny that I Almost puked." I replied trying to draw their attention away from my hand which now held the metallic spheres.
"You should have accepted the deal boy...." He trailed off as he cocked his revolver and aimed at me,a smug look plastered on his weathered face.
Before he could fire I quickly leapt to the side and threw the Stun Spheres in an ark spreading the metallic spheres around the group of thugs. As They made contact the spheres ruptured releasing a blinding flash of light so strong that I was forced cover my eyes. As the intense flash faded I drew my blaster and ran past the howling thugs trying to Remedy the burning sensation in their eyes. I let the adrenaline fuel my muscles, As I sprinted across the vast sewage tunnel, heading back to the access hatch That I Used to get in this Rotten Trap.
master it seems your plan worked, shall we celebrate?
"Not now Ai can you see I am a little busy right now." I gritted my teeth. "Those Stun spheres I Threw will only last for a few minutes"
I see... Then celebrations will be put on hold until we get out of here.
"What is.... with you and... Celebration?" I panted as I neared the Turn that would take me to service ladder.
What is wrong with Celebrations Master!?
I winced at the loudness of her voice.
"Can you tone it down Notch Ai." I growled, my ears still ringing.
Hmph...
Ignoring my partner I climbed up the ladder and exited through the open hatch. I Quickly ran towards my bike still untouched in it's Little corner, thankfully the thugs thought better of getting the keys first because if they did take my bike I would be in serious trouble.
Nanite Signature detected.
A clanking noise broke me out of my reverie as a hulking pile of nothing but spare parts Slowly advanced on me.
"A scrap guardian just Great." I groaned.
I pointed my blaster and fired a couple of rounds watching the laser melt through it's crushed chest plate and a piece of it's Distorted face.
It shrieked making me grit my teeth as I forced my body not succumbed to the banshee like scream. More Scrapped Guardian appeared behind the first one ,each sporting their own design of scrap they've been collecting to add to their own. In some cases Scrap Guardians use humans as decorations which makes them very frightening sight to behold even though they are the weakest among the Machines. I face a few groups back then when I was scavenging the wastelands near the compound but never this many. I fired a few more shots successfuly hitting one at it's expose power core while nicking the others. If they reach me or my bike it would be game over...
