*Apocalypse Now* (Criss Angel & Klayton Scott Story)

*8*(Kc's P.O.V.)

After Criss and Mickey buried Houdini...I was up all night comforting Criss, telling him that no matter what we would get little Johnny back...but he couldn't stop crying...Mickey decided to keep Kiefer in his room for the night...so Kiefer wouldn't see his dad so upset. But Kiefer wouldn't go to sleep until he told his daddy goodnight...Mickey carried him into the room and said he wanted to tell his daddy goodnight first.

Criss scooped Kiefer in his arms and held him very closely and kissed his forehead, telling him how much daddy loved his little man, and that he would always be there for him...then he handed Kiefer his stuffed bunny and told him goodnight, and to be good for Uncle Mickey...Kiefer told him night and that he promised to be a good boy. After Mickey took him back to his room to sleep...Criss burst out into tears again, saying the rebels really wouldn't hurt him...he's just a baby...I held him close to me and told him, that we'd get him back, and that he would be ok. 

A few hours later, Criss finally passed out from emotional exhaustion and worry...after he was asleep, was when I started crying...for I needed to be strong for Criss, but deep down I was scared to death for Johnny...those rebels would do anything to get what they wanted...and even if we did give them everything...there was no promises that they would ever give Johnny back...alive. But eventually I decided to go to sleep, or I would be no good for tomorrow.

Meanwhile, back in the rebels camp...the boss of the rebels was trying to question the newcomer Atom 7K...and secretly hoping that he and his pet, would join their group for new world domination...but the whole time the rebels were talking to him...he was observing all their strengths and weaknesses...Atom 7K had no intentions of ever joining a sinister group of pure evil...he was, however, planning on ridding the world of their wickedness. King was getting very impatient with his master and began to explore the camp on his own...Atom 7K warned everyone not to make sudden movements or King would disembowel them.

Atom 7K was looking around and heard a little boy crying hysterically for his daddy...he approached the noise and saw the little guy sitting in a cage with no food or water...and he had cuts and bruises all over his little body...Atom 7K knelt down and took a closer look at the boy, and realized he was freezing...his little body was a bluish purple from the cold...he jumped up and ordered the boss of the rebels to give him the key to the cage...but the boss acted ignorant and said he was their key to a lot of supplies.

Atom 7K jumped up and let out a single whistle...King came running for that was his master's signal for help...King let out a loud roar, and all the rebels backed away...Atom 7K asked him one more time for the key...then he told King it was meal time...King approached the rebel leader and knocked him down with one swipe of his paw...then placed his jaws around the leaders throat...waiting for Atom 7K's signal to kill.

The lead rebel quickly tossed Atom 7K the key...and then told him to get his beast off of him...but Atom 7K said not just yet...he got the cage open, and took the boy out, and wrapped him up in his cloak. The boy looked up and managed to squeak out Uncle Klayton....Atom 7K looked down at the boy and gave him a smile...and gave him a tight squeeze and rubbed him a little to help warm him up....then looked at King and told him to musetna...King killed the leader then went on a killing spree and attacked wildly at everything he saw moving...Atom 7K put Johnny back in the cage for safety..and pulled out his staff that had blades on both ends and helped King finish off the pack of rebels...as soon as the last man was down...Atom 7K took Johnny back out of the cage and sat him on the ground as he and King took a last clean sweep of the rebels camp...then loaded all their weapons and supplies in a cart...then hooked King to the cart to pull it for him...Atom 7K then picked Johnny back up and asked him where his daddy was.

Johnny gave him his sweet smile and pointed his little finger southwest of him...he gave him a pat and placed him in the cart, on a pile of soft furs...and promised him that he'd be back with his daddy very soon. Johnny peeked his head over the cart and asked Uncle Klayton why he told everyone that he was Atom 7K...he gave Johnny a slight smile and told him it was his alias name...that he's been spreading around...so that any rebels or evil...would know that by hearing that name meant that they would soon meet their demise...for he and King made themselves the protector's of the innocent people trying to survive in the new world, that we all now live in.

Johnny laid back down and snuggled in his new found warmth...and went into a deep and peaceful sleep. Klayton smiled down at the sleeping little boy, very relieved to know that his oldest and dearest friend was alive...and soon would be handing him his son back to him...safe and sound...he and King kept walking in a slow pace...until they saw the roof of an old warehouse in the distance...Klayton knew he was getting close, and that if he were Criss he'd be shacked up in that warehouse up ahead.

Criss and I were sitting just outside looking toward the opening in the trees hoping to see the rebels coming back with Johnny for the trade of supplies we all gathered and sat out in front of the warehouse walls...but when we both saw a man walking alongside a cart being pulled by a lion of all creatures...we didn't know what to make of it...so we just stared at each other in disbelief as the man approached us in front of the warehouse.
