In The End, Fake Your Death (Danger Days/LOTB Fanfic)

Chapter Nine: Mission

Gerard/Party's POV
~~
The day passed by quickly, and during that time, the Wild Ones learned the Killjoy ways and we saw them become formidable opponents against the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W/S and Draculoids.

We all hoped the Wild Ones could stay out of sight long enough to not draw unwanted attention.

"Alright guys, we're about to enter Battery City," I started.

We were all getting ready at the Diner. Toxic, Mercy, and Star joined in. We were gonna find Red and Queen.

"When we get there, there will be patrols coming for us. Get to cover but avoid the citizens, they will give out your location. 'Crows are smarter than Dracs and are more of a threat."

"Watch out for any Shadows as well. They can teleport but can be defeated," warned Prophet, giving us star shaped charms, " These will keep the Shadows from getting too close. Ji-The Mystic has enchanted then to keep the Shadows from noticing them as well. Hopefully they won't notice you as a result."

We then loaded up the van and the Trans Am. After we made sure we had everything we needed, we left.

We parked the cars near the tunnel, away from any surveillance cameras that could be there. I looked to the group of boulders by the entrance.

I sighed, Mikey's reckless plan would always be an unwanted reminder left behind by this place.

We got out and entered the tunnel. The toll booth was empty, no Dracs patrolling it.

Something's not right, I thought.

"What is it Poison?" I heard Mourner ask.

"It's too quiet. Normally, there'd be clamor here and there from the 'Crows."

Mourner stopped and closed his eyes.

"There's signs of life here, but faint," he said.

"Are they close?" Asked Ray.

Mourner went pale, "We need to move, now!"

We ran for it, splitting into groups of four. Mystic, Destroyer, Jet and I. Then, Fun, Star, Deviant, and Mercy. And finally, Kobra, Prophet, Mourner, and Toxic.

We scoured the city in search of where we thought Red and Queen could be. We even checked their bases.

"Kobra, Fun, any sign of them?" I asked them over radio, while searching for any clues or hints they left.

"There's no one here," they responded.

Mystic and Destroyer stopped. Mystic's eyes were closed and his head was tilted as if he was hearing something.

"Prophet, Deviant and Mourner are wondering what they look like," he asked Jet and I.

"When Lucky was with us, she would describe them as 'a princess and a girl from the 80s,'" I answered him.

Mystic then nodded and resumed his search.

"I think we forgot to mention the fact that we're telepathic," said Destroyer, rummaging through a spare closet, "Also, I think I found something."

We went to look at what he'd found. It was a knocked over paint can, Queen's tiara comb, and a white gun with that damn logo on the side.

"They got caught," Jet voiced the exact thought I had in my mind.

We were too caught up in what we'd discovered that we never heard the extra footsteps behind us.

And then darkness...

~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~

I woke up in a haze.

I turned my head to see Mystic in a cell with me. Jet being in the cell across from mine with Destroyer.

"They're gonna find out we're here." Whispered Destroyer.

"Hopefully they won't. Just remember your Killjoy names. Desert Destroya and Flame Witch," I reminded them.

"Des, I can't reach the others. I think they're in danger."

"Well no shit! We're in here!" Said Destroyer hysterically, "You think they'll find us?"

"I think I can get us out like I did with Proph-uh-Night."

"It's too risky," reminded Jet, "we can't lose our strongest allies because of a careless mistake. We need to do it the old fashioned Fabulous Killjoy way."

"And what might that be?" Asked Mystic

"Pick the lock and fight our way out," I replied with a smirk.

"Or get backup," mentioned Jet.

"HA! Alright then, at least there's a plan A and B."

Mystic got up and looked out the window. The layout of the hall was different from the last time. It seemed to be harder to break out of.

"There are more Draculoids here," He noted.

"The 'Crows are in the adjacent hall, we'll be dead before we get to the door at the end," I stated, "We're in HQ so we'll need to be here a while if we want to be saved."

I nodded and talked to Mystic for a while.

"Party Poison and the un-killable Jet Star. Oh? And two new Killjoys? What joy!"

We turned to see Korse in the hall.

Eight 'Crows entered the two cells and grabbed all four of us.

"You've come just in time to witness our new product," he smiled wickedly.

The four of us were taken into a viewing area. Inside the room we were looking at, there was what looked like a family of 3.

"Our Miracle Pill wasn't very efficient in keeping the populations under control, hence, all you verminous Killjoys. But, when a kindred spirit came into contact with us, we began to put together a plan to permanently contain the masses. Once the idea was perfected, our S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W/S linked it into a single pill. We created the marvelous wonder that is the LightMind program. Now tell me, what do you suspect will stop us?"

"There's rumors going around the Zones about a prophet who knows your buddy," I stated.

"The Reaper told me that they won't be a problem. Which peaks my curiosity, now tell me, who are you two?" He inquired, looking at Mystic and Destroyer.

"Flame Witch and Desert Destroya you son of a bitch!" Said Destroyer.

"Des, calm down," Said Mystic.

And that's when we heard an alarm go off.
