The New Legend

Chapter nine

Louisa's POV
Sara swings her double Bo Staff at me. I quickly avoid it and grab the staff. Sara pulls the staff away and I fall forward, still holding the staff. I pull the staff down and Sara rolls over the ground. She gets up and smiles at me. "Good work, you're a quick student." She says while panting. "I think you're ready to take on some real targets." She adds. We've been training for days, finally.

Ray's POV
Nate knocks on the door to the backyard. It's a clown party. Great, I hate clowns. "Hello?" A man asks after opening the door. "Hi, uh... You're..." I say and look behind him into the garden. I see a cake with the name Mark on it. "You're Mark's dad, right?" I add not a second after. "Yeah, why?" He asks back. "Well... We are with the clown you hired." I answer.

"I do the sound," Nate says after a long pause of silence. "And I handle the props," I say to complete Nate's statement. "And that guy?" The man asks pointing at John. I nudge him unnoticeably. John sighs deeply. "Well, mate, to be honest, I don't know what I'm doing here with these two." He answers and takes a little flask out of his pocket. He takes a sip out of it and puts it back.

"He does the make-up, but our clown mostly does it himself," Nate says, interrupting the most awkward moment. "Okay, come in." The man says and gestures for us to walk inside. We see kids running around in the backyards and a table full of presents. I was looking around before getting interrupted by Nate. "That's him." He whispers to me as he points towards a man with a black sports bag that has a clown suit sticking out a bit.

"Hey, you!" John says loudly while walking up to the guy. The guy looks at John and starts looking through his bag like crazy. "He's got a knife, get everyone inside," I say swiftly to Nate, already knowing what the guy was doing. Nate runs up to the parents and the kids and starts getting them inside one by one. I quickly run up to John hoping to avoid him being stabbed.

"John, watch out!" I yell, he turns around and looks at me with a confused look. The man, Wayne Gacy, has already taken out his knife. Before I could warn him again, Wayne puts the knife in John's side and runs away, jumping over the fence. John falls on the ground. "Damn it!!" He yells as he feels on his side, revealing blood all over his hands. "Nate!" I yell while running to John and kneeling down to help him.

Nate's POV
"Jesus Christ!!" I hear Nate yell after seeing Constantine coughing up blood. "Get him to the waverider!" I say loudly while pulling one arm over my shoulders. Ray grabs the other arm and puts it over his shoulders. "Hurry up, mate," John says, annoyed. We both run as fast as we can to the door out of the backyard while people stare and gaze at us.

John stumbles along as we reach the open field where the waverider is. "We don't have bloody time to fix me, get that bloody murderer!!" Constantine says, coughing up a little more blood. "No, we're almost there, we can't just leave you to die here," Ray pants out. John scoffs and smiles a little. I open the door of the cargo bay and run inside along with Ray, John hanging from both our shoulders, still stumbling along.

Sara's POV
"Cmon, let's go back to see if the rest caught that killer clown," I say while nodding to the exit of the bunker. We walk to the elevator and go back up. Outside I see the jump ship, ready for departure. I open the door and Louisa steps in. "Gideon, take us back to the waverider," I say to Gideon as I walk in, close the door and buckle up. I look beside me to see Louisa buckled up and ready too. "Ready, captain," Gideon says. I pull the handle and we fly off to the temporal zone.

We land safely to the side of the waverider and step out of it. "Gideon, where are Ray, Nate and John?" I ask Gideon. "They've returned from their mission and are now in the med bay. I am now examining Mr Constantine, he's in a critical condition." Gideon says. I look at Louisa to see her shocked face. I take her hand and run towards the med bay.
