Beyond the home

Chapter 17: All goes down now

"I'm seeing multiple people, all guarding her." Sweetie said, as they were spying on the cottage, trying to find the best and safest way to take Nooshy out of there.

"What is your plan?" "Distraction, but that would leave someone still there." Sweetie replied. "Hmm...what if we start attacking?"

"But we could harm Nooshy." Timur said. "Better yet, they would kill her."

"Okay, so this." Sweetie said. "I'll play high-pitched noise from Destiny once you distract them, take out the guard that will stay with Nooshy and take her out of that simulati-"

"SI-6-TPP-Air liftoff successful."

They both looked at each other. Because that call sign was very similar to Chase's.

"I think that's Air Patroller." Timur said. "Jarvis?"

"I have trouble connecting to the lookout, sir." Jarvis said. "Last known access was from Ms. Moon, sir."

It didn't took long for both of them to put two and two together and know that it wasn't Porsha, but rather her watch...which wasn't in good hands now.

"Sweetie." Timur said, and looked at her, his helmet retracting down. "If you want, you can go, I'll safely bring Nooshy back."

Sweetie knew it was her call. Be it helping finally save Nooshy, or get back to the Lookout to know what is happening, and deal with that.

"I..." Sweetie began.

"Trust your heart." Timur said.

And the distraction was there; the massive boom coming out of the thrusters on Sweetie's legs making her lift off to the dark sky.

"And there's the answer." Timur smiled, his helmet coming back on him, as he began clearing the guards one by one.

"Jarvis, set proxy to universe 617, location Adventure Bay, Jake's mountain." Sweetie ordered, flying at the speed of sound towards Timur's house.

"Accelerator is ready, waiting for you." Jarvis announced as she was coming close to Brno.

"Okay." Sweetie said, already seeing the light coming from the accelerator even being still far. Her visor automatically targetted the device, and her thrusters autonomously aligned her to fly straight into it.

Which she did, sending her right on top of Jake's mountain. Retro-thrusters enabled themselves, slowing her down.

Where is that motherfucker? Sweetie thought, over-looking Adventure Bay. Spotting the island with the Lookout, she saw that it had the new look, so it was secure in case that she would need to evacuate Adventure Bay there.

Flying straight towards the town, her radar went haywire, showing multiple red dots on her visor, which made her stop and look all around herself, but saw nothing.

Hmm. She thought, landing down on a tree, and turning every thruster off.

It allowed her to listen for anything in silence, which was what she needed. The night breeze was light, barely audible.

And then there was a sound of an engine.

Lifting her paw, a small bullet came out towards the direction of her paw, hitting something invisible.

Got him. She smiled, as the Air Patroller appeared in front of her.

"Hey Chase." Sweetie said, knowing he was piloting the vehicle. "Mind explaining something to me?"
