Sky City Wars

To Go Or Not To Go

There was a loud noise as the power cut out. "Dammit." Said Harold. The teleporter powered down and the lights shut off. "What's going on?" Asked Aaron. "Whole west side of Sky City has lost power. Back up generator is powering on. The lights flickered back on and the portal whirred back to life. 

"Are we good?" Asked Harold. "We are losing power in the generator fast." Said Sik. "Okay, Aaron get on the pad." Said Harold. "I'm not leaving you." Said Aaron. "There's only enough power for one time travel." Said Harold. "No, I'll stay." Said Aaron. Harold started to walk towards Aaron when the ceiling collapsed on top of them. 

"Harold! Aaron!" Yelled Sik as he walked around the rubble. "I'm here." Said Harold stretching. "Where's Aaron. "I'm here." Said Aaron groaning as he shoved debris off of him. "Sik, your left hand is gone." Said Harold. "No big deal, a new one is reconstructing itself." Said Sik. "Reconstructive surgery? For a robot?" Asked Harold. "Yes, genes and DNA taken from a lizard were added into my infrastructure and I used it to be able to reconstruct anything I need." Said Sik. "That's amazing." Said Aaron.  

"What happened Sik?" Asked Harold. "We are under attack." Said Sik. "How can we help?" Asked Harold. "Follow me." Said Sik running down the street. Harold and Aaron followed. "Where are we going?" Asked Aaron. "There is a weapons shop." Said Sik turning down a street. "Did we mass produce Sik robots?" Asked Harold. "Yes you did and it went bad, you sold millions and reached 8 Billion sold when the war started and the enemy bought a few thousand from you. Aaron took over after your death and he stopped selling to the enemy. More people kept buying replacement parts and add-on parts. Aaron's son took over at a young age after your death and then the business went out of business as the factories were bombed and everyone was killed and there was only one factory left when Aaron 3 worked there under the enemies command and he escaped and has lived here since then." Said Sik. 

"Wow." Said Harold. "That is insane." Said Aaron as Sik stopped in front of a doorway. "Are we at the weapons shop?" Asked Aaron. Sik opened the door and they walked in. "Who are you?" Asked a voice. "Sik, and friends." Said Sik. "Come on in then." Said the man. 

"Who are your friends?" Asked the man who was sitting in a chair. "Harold and Aaron. They are my original owners." Said Sik. "The ones from 2017. No way." Said the man. "It is true, they teleported." Said Sik. "Well what do you need?" Asked the man. "We are under attack and we need weapons." Said Sik. "You've come to the right place." Said the man standing up and walking to a safe, he unlocked it and handed Sik, Harold, and Aaron all weapons. 

"You, kid, get the hunting rifle. It is a bolt action, but a straight shot from far away. Old man, you get the automatic rifle, 100 round magazine and quick reload. For you Sik, here's an attachment for your arm. A laser blaster hand." Said the man. Sik thanked him and they walked out the door. Sik put the laser on his arm and they loaded their weapons. 

"Where is this enemy?" Asked Harold. "Up there." Said Sik pointing up. A huge shadow rapidly passed over them as a huge airship came into view. "Any civilians on the street will be mowed down in the next thirty seconds." Yelled a voice from the ship. "Lets go." Said Sik running down the street with Harold and Aaron. 

"Where are we going now?" Asked Harold. "To the engine rooms. There are multiple ships below we are going to use to fight them off." Said Sik. He stopped in front of an apartment complex and opened the door. They climbed into the small room as Sik pressed a button. The ground gave way and they slid into the room. "Aaron three built this room secretly and has supplied fighters here." Said Sik. "A P-51 Mustang?" Asked Harold running up to it and climbing in. "Look, a Lockheed Martin F-22." Said Aaron running over to it. "I've made adjustments on all of them to where they navigate for you. Have auto landing, emergency escape pod in your seat." Said Sik. "What about you Sik?" Asked Harold. "I have a glide suit. I'll take them on head first." Said Sik. 

Sik walked over to the wall and pressed a red button. Alarms blared as a ramp lowered and four airships came into view along with drones. "Ready?" Yelled Sik over the wind. Harold gave a thumbs up and Aaron nodded. "The engines fired up and they rolled off the ramp and into a free fall off the ship.

Harold pressed the ignition and the engine coughed to life, the propeller started to spin faster and faster as the ground was coming up faster and faster. Aaron passed him at full speed as he flew back up into the sky. Harold yanked back on the yoke and the plane leveled out. "Harold, you okay?" Asked Sik. "I'm fine." Said Harold. "Where is Aaron?" Asked Harold. "He is fighting the enemy, the plane is also taken control so all Aaron needs to do is fire." Said Sik. "What about you Sik?" Asked Harold. "I'm gliding onto the airship." Said Sik. Harold looked up and saw a figure jump out from the ramp and glide to an airship. 

"I'll cover you." Said Harold Flying above Sik as he landed on the airship. Harold pulled on a trigger and bullets ripped through the airship. Sik jumped and shot the enemies running at him. Harold yanked up and did a u-turn back towards the airship. 

Sik was running and hopping over the holes and cuts in the airship. He saw someone running behind him and he slammed his fist through the man. Harold flew overhead and he heard people yell.
