Suicidal Dreams

Death On Two Legs

We were nearing our run to the city in a quick steady manner. Nothing provoked us to turn or stop unexpectedly. It's as if the city knew when to expect our grand arrival.

There is three teams with us today.

The Fab Four's team which consisted of Fun Ghoul, Jet Star, Party Poison, Kobra Kid, and I. Except we were divided into smaller groups. Kobra, Jet, and Party took the Trans Am while Ghoul and I took my bike.

Then there was Stellar's team which was divided up by Trigger Fingers, Laughter Blaster, Tantrum Goggles, and Tremble Gaze. Party thought it would be best to have Ghoul on this team because Ghoul would somehow take longer. And because he would take longer that meant Stellar's team had to leave three minutes later than The Fab Four. They all had one bike each so they couldn't possibly be any problem for them. On their way back out the had to take killjoys from inside back out with them.

As for our third team, they were in the inside. REN and Mars Beam. A part of me worried about Mars Beam. He's been communicating with me less so that had to mean he suspected he was being watched.

What worried me most tho was that my bombs were not going to work. They had all been planted in different areas by the killjoys inside. There are exactly 12 bombs planted at the outskirts of the city and 4 at the center.

The first one that was going to be set off was at Mars Beam's location. Stellar's team had to be positioned on top of the building by the time the third bomb sets off. As for Kobra and Party, they had to be in HQ the second the first one sets off. The rest went around scavenging in the stores for essentials.

My part in this was to stay outside the city at exactly one mile away. I had a small walkie-talkie to stay in contact with the inside to know when to set the bombs off.

Once I knew for certain Kobra and Patty left HQ, I had to detonate all four bombs at the same time.

The time had come when Kobra needed to drop me off. I dismounted quickly with all my equipment and gave him a hug.

"I'm coming back," he said.

I nodded solemnly and tried my best to hide in the small collapsed building. I heard the motor start up and fade away as he drove away. I unzipped my backpack and started to set up. Lastly I turned on the walkie-talkie.

My signal to know when the first bomb was to be set off was: boom. Ghoul had the bright ass idea so the name of this mission was called BOOM!. I believe the rest credited me for the name because it is my work, but I gave Ghoul his recognition by letting him lead Stellar's team.

"Boom," the staticky talkie let me hear Kobra's voice.

I quickly set off the first bomb, from afar I could immediately see the smoke rise up in the sky. Just barely tho because the sky was gray with clouds hanging loosely because it was going to rain after dark.

Now my prime job was to keep count of the time. After the first bomb every single bomb had to go off at exactly five minutes apart.

As each one was being set off I could see the cloud of smoke arise. This coming as a joy because they worked. As I reached the twelfth one I awaited for Party's response.

Time passed by slowly as I just stared at the walkie-talkie. I nearly jumped up in triumph when I heard Party speak briefly into the talkie saying they were out.

I set them off and witnessed the most beautiful explosion in my life. It didn't necessarily blow up things, it was an explosion of dyed sand with cherry bombs. I started to hear the sound of motor bikes zoom past the building with killjoys mounted securely on top. My bike came into view with Ghoul on top. I packed my stuff and quickly ran to the bike so I could make this stop quicker.
