The Watchers- end game (the watchers sequel)

chapter 18-the beginning of the end

-hours later, somewhere over the Texas republic -(Lukes POV) *the thunderous roar of our helicopters engine fills the cockpit of the old fashioned blackhawk we managed to requistion with me and sky at the controls as the chopper shakes and rattles barely staying together with radio chatter filling our headsets both between us in the helicopter and on radio frequency which sky listens to it worriedly* "confusion" *he says after a moment* "thats not natural" he changes frequinces a second* "shit" he says, looking pale and uneasy and without warning an alarm sounds "buckle up!" Sky shouts before pulling up hard and we gain altitude rapidly the trails of a missile visible behind us land this is how we deal with heat seekers chaps!" He says with a good British accent as we stall out competly and fall back to earth the pair of missiles going off ahed of us as sky starts quickly restarting the engine with my help* "get it in gear!" Logan shouts* "WORKING ON IT!" Sky snaps while gritting his teeth with slight frustration "come on" he mutters and then gets the engine back to life whipping the helicopter towards the ground and picking up speed "remind me again..why the fuck it is we do this?" sky asks looking franticly around "because...we're heros" logan says "and itll make a damn good story someday " i add taking a hold of my rifle where its holsered in the door as an emergency call comes over our ear comms from mason "if anyone can hear this..its mason we've been ambushed..i-i dont know whose left...*he coughs* hell..i dont think im gonna make it..but uh..*he sighs and gunfire is heard* if your listening..know that we have a mole and his name i-" *the radio cuts out suddenly and with a nod from sky i let my powers free heading for where the call came and i open fire with my rifle capping two thugs with quick motion and run over to mason whose sitting against the way covered in blood, a gunshot wound in his side and as i go to patch him up he stops me with a weak hand "d-dont" he stammers "i-its too late for me kid" he coughs and wipes the blood from his chin "t-the mole..i-is d-dalton" my eyes widen in shock "how do you kno-" i stop short hearing the safety of a gun click off and mason gives a slight nod grasping his blood spattered 1911 seconds before i roll out of the way and he fires a single shot hitting the man behind me squarely in the head and then droops his head, having breathed his last * "sky do you copy?" i ask getting on the comms "loud and clear' i look around "the shroud is onto us" i say after a second "mason is down" theres a long unpleasant silence "repeat that" i hear logan say "mason..hes dead" anther long pause "and we have mole" i add "shit" sky says "that means we have a problem " -meanwhile, at an abandoned amusment park somewhere in Massachusetts- (the shrouds POV) i step from my truck adjusting my hat coat and tie with the blood red mask i usually wears looking around as hugs gather around with two whom i know as alex and dawson, secret spies from my enemy, stepping forward wepeons firmly pointed at me "your game is-" alex starts to say but i cut him off "over?" i scoff "you havent seen me play games, if you had youd know i havent even started" my men grab them quickly taking their weapons "take a load off, i wouldnt want you to miss my opening event" my men take them into the park "thought he could spy on me" i mutter "and they say im the villain" and then i walk to the park, my heavy boots sinking into the semi-damp dirt with each step and one of my men tosses me a communicator found on one of the spies which i examine "watchers tech" i mutter "intresting design too.." i pause as the comunicator turns on "well well" i say with a smirk "if it isnt the man of the hour" sky scoffs "wheres dawson?" i chuckle "thats for me to know and you to find out" i move to turn off the communicator "what is it you want shroud?" sky asks me "to save the human race" he pauses "from what?" i chuckle "dumbasses like you..who think their invincible" i pause "destroying cities, families..even relationships in your wake and you get held like goddamn heroes when your not, not even close" there was a long pause "your crazy you know" sky says "i might be...but im not the bad guy you say i am" sky scoffed "i think there are a lot of people whod disagree with that, like whose standing behind you" i whil around to look and a punch hits me square in the jaw knocking me back "you sorry son of a bitch" dawson says stepping towards me "you killed my daughter" he punches me again a look of rage on his face and fire in his eyes "use your words" i say looking at him sternly and catch his next punch "before you and i have problem" he glares at me "we already do" i smirk "greifs a bitch aint it?" he nods "blame your boss..not me, hes who got you into this mess" dawson scoffed and punched at me again "we already do you sorry sack of filth...you killed the only person i cared about in this world" i nod "well, i happen to know what thats like..its the worst pain in world" dawson nods "makes me wish i could hit in the face...with a nuclear weapon" i chuckle "im only human..dont blame me" dawson punches me again "thats like saying dont hate the criminal, hate the crime"
