CH 10: Roadkill

"Jeth, check the meters. How far are we to Fort Sto. Domingo?" Jem asked.

"We are not on our computerized van." Jeth says.

"What do you---where is our van?!"

"We left it behind at the parking lot."

"Crap."

The team was already in the border between Dasma and Pala-Pala. The team suddenly heard fireshots.

"Now, who the hell was that?!" Jem asked.

"The terrorists are back." Blackshot replied.

"Aw crap."

The team passes by a civilian bus when another shot almost pinned Blackshot.

"That was close!!" Blackshot screamed as he aimed back at the terrorists.

Blackshot let out a few shots, taking down the driver.

The enemy vehicle swerved from left to right then finally crashing to a huge trash bin. The van then exploded to flames.

"Eat that you filthy animals!!" Blackshot screamed.

Another two SUVs appeared at the horizon. Jem decided to play 'flyball' as he swerved from lane to lane just to avoid the incoming enemy shots.

Blackshot noticed that one of the SUV has a man with an RPG. Blackshot immediately warned the others.

"RPG Inbound!!"

"Take them out immediately!! We are counting on you, kid!!" Jem screamed back.

Blackshot pulled an EMP Grenade from his belt and tossed it at the road. The two SUVs suddenly became disabled as the blue semi-transparent bubble engulfed them.

Blackshot aimed and fired a shot, setting all of them on fire.

"Yeehaw!!" Jeth screamed.

Suddenly, an SUV appeared behind the blown up vehicles.

"Alright I got this. They are no match to Ericson Leone Gutierrez Padilla!!" Eric says as he switched the scope of his rifle to a thermal detector scope.

Eric peeked at the SUV and found seven enemies. He also spotted Tinio inside the said vehicle.

Another gunfire errupted from the enemies. Their bullets hits everything in the back section of the car. Blackshot decided to take cover before he got hit.

Eric adjusted his sight, aimed for the SUV's front, loaded the armor-piercer bullet, and take the shot.

The van errupted in flames. Eric cheered as he watched the burning flame of his enemy's vehicle. But suddenly, the burning SUV accelerated towards them.

Tinio climbed at the top of the SUV, hopped a towards the roof of the team's van and landed successfully. The burning SUV exploded along with the terrorists inside it.

"Crap, vines are really hard to chop off, eh?" Eric says as he set down his rifle. "Take care of her for me. I'm gonna beat the crap out of that guy." He added as he stood up and climbed up.

"Hey Blackshot, how many enemies on our tail?" Jem asked all of a sudden as he dodged a car ahead of them.

"None. Keep it steady, Eric's on the roof."

"What's he doing in the roof?"

"Beating up the terrorist who managed to jump to our roof."

"You meam there's an enemy up there?!"

"Yeah."

Jem suddenly grabbed his pistol and fired up above him.

"Hey what are you doing?! You could get Eric killed!!" Jeth screamed.

"Oh, seems like we have a guest." Tinio says as he watched Eric climb up.

"You know what? People like you were just insects to me." Eric says as he clenched his right fist and punched his left open palm. "I eat people like you when I am still a member of the Scout Rangers Battalion."

"Ha, good luck with that, kid. I lived long enough to see most of your kind get shot at."

Eric got insulted of what Tinio just said. He decided to finish this once and for all.

Eric ran forward at Tinio and swung his right fist at him. Tinio dodged his attack and executed an uppercut as he got the chance to do so. Eric stepped back away from him as he tried to regain his senses. Tinio did a roundhouse kick on his chest sending him back away. He lay on his stomach as he hit the roof.

"That must gotta hurt." Jem says as he heard the loud bang on the roof.

"Ready to die, soulja boy?" Tinio says once more as he emphasized the word 'soulja' to insult Eric again.

"Soulja my arse!!" Eric says as he swept Tinio's foot, making him off balance.

Tinio slipped and lost his balance. He suddeny fell from the roof but managed to grab the edge of the roof.

"Sayonara, old man!" Eric says once more as he kicked Tinio's face, sending him below towards the ravaging speed of the highway.

Tinio stumbled on the road and hit many rocks, but still, he manages to survive. He stood up from the ground a and pointed at Eric who was speeding away. Suddenly, a huge truck appeared behind him and crushed him.

"That's what I call roadkill!!!" Eric exclaimed as he climbed down the roof.

Blackshot saw someone's foot, stepping down. He aimed at him and tought that it was Tinio only to see Eric's face.

"So, how's your chitchat with Mr. Terrorist out there?" Blackshot asked as he lowered his gun.

"Well, he's impolite. He didn't even said goodbye when he left."

Then everyone laughed.
