Incandescent Scenario (In Progress), Matthew Aakay [best books for 7th graders TXT] 📗

my leg and I was thinking what a fun ride this is, then he threw me down quicker than any roller coaster, but that’s how I felt and he managed to crack the concrete.

 

‘Where is the Orb?’

 

‘Can’t… Winded… Pain.’ Somehow my skull didn't break.

 

He gave me a minute to breathe and in a split second I thought I was going to die if I didn’t give him the Orb, through the Orb away or take offences options. I noticed two or three grenades around his belt then a theory hits me. With my eyes closed I screamed out ‘It’s inside me!’ I got feeling back in my body and continued to squirm around.

 

‘Then let’s open you up.’ He pulls out a blade the size of my arm and about to shave it into me.

 

‘You can’t! You can’t! Stop! You can’t because it merged itself to me. In my mind!’ The tip of the blade touched my belly through my rob and it took three seconds for him to respond, ‘Bullshit.’

 

‘Do you see it on me?’ I paniced.

 

‘What if someone else has it?’ His eyes norrowed at me.

 

‘Would you be looking for a dead guy? You saw me get shot by your comrade, remember? The orb found me and bought me back to life, dammit.’

 

He tries to turn his head upside down to get a better look at me, ‘Oh, hey. That’s who you are.’ I then realized he takes orders not notes.

 

‘I’m sick of you wasting my time. If you don’t have it on you, someone else does and now you’re going to die.’ He holstered his blade, grabs his rifle (Got It.) as he lift me off the ground and my collar was choking me, he faced back, does a 180 degree turn and threw me. He takes aim and in mid-air, he notices me smiling back at him wiggling three pins on my middle finger.

He quickly looks at his belt, ‘Funny.’ KA-BOOM.

Chapter 3 – An Unlikely Escape

 

Like every morning on this forsaken planet the two suns pass each other in a race of time, one smaller than our first star but faster and terrifying in every passing day. It gives me hope that one day, one day it’ll hit and destroy everything and everyone on this dried up, stupid, and damned planet. The human race has worked itself to extinction, to the point where mankind used nuclear bombs to set us back thousands and thousands of millenniums, but I digress – it makes me very energetic for that day and I’m growing ever impatient. Agent Pollux, Agent Oroka-Dan and I are hired mercenaries sent to gather equipment from enemy territory, The Bethamend, They were working on a secret weapon for nearly twenty five years and no new information about it has suffice since, until last week. We ambushed their base of operation for five years and find what we needed or so we thought.

 

‘Target spotted.’ Agent Pollux has found our objective on the run from the other “competitors”, and this city is covered with them. This won’t be easy.

 

‘Moving to your position.’ Jumping from rooftop to rooftop has an advantage of course but I’m not the only one on top looking down below. I keep my distance from any unwanted party. Agent Pollux turned his com off by the sound of the click, ‘Agent Pollux? Agent. Dammit.’ And I’m only three minutes away to reach him, but from where I was running an unexpected explosion up a head and I quickly make my way down. Another unexpected turn of event was seeing the target emerging through the rabble, sprinting away the outburst like a suspect fleeing from the scene of a crime or from the world. I tailed him running in zigzags around the whole city, missing and dodging every passing citizen, ‘There he is! Capture him, we need him alive!’ Another complication but he manages to avoid each pursuer with impressive tactics leaving them incapable or oblivious to what or where he was going, or simple dumb luck was helping him out, it truly looks like he has no idea what he is doing but despite he’s shock in appearances, he’s body moves accordingly, or again, Stupid dumb luck. I barely succeeded to keep up with him with the amount of people pushing and shoving, lucky for me this isn’t my first chase.

 

‘Shit. I’m out of breath but SAFE!’ He did a victory pose.

 

‘Don’t move or I’ll slit your throat,’ I snuck up from behind when he least expected it ‘where is the orb?’

 

‘I know that voice. You’re that spy that shot her own team mate and infiltrated our base, you twisted-‘

 

‘Say another word not involving the orb and this blade is going in the knee cap. Where is the orb!?’ I wanted to get this over and done with but the “competition” blasted their way through into the building we’re in, causing me to lose my grip on the target in the smoke and debris.

 

‘Where is he? Who-‘ As the debris clouded the entrance I took action, only six men walked in holding handguns but none of them knew I was taking each one down in stealth. The less, the better in this chase. I run back after the target getting more annoyed with each passing second, fortunately we were coming up to the highway of the city and there’s nothing out there for miles, nothing but a sandy wasteland and mad drivers. I found him trying to hot wire a vehicle.

 

‘Come on, you stupid thing. Shit!’ He saw me but I knocked him out from behind the neck before he could make another escape. Seconds later more baddies showed up firing from mostly every corner, and I had to get out of here then I notice the wires he tried to hotwire, they weren’t even the right ones.

 

‘You stupid-‘ After I got the vehicle working and looked back up at the rear view mirror, they pulled out a rocket launcher and I floored it, quickly turning, it nearly hit the back and I got out of their line of fire. Now this is a high speed chase, I need to find my comrade, get this idiot somewhere out of this city for questioning, and I really, really need something to eat.

 

‘Out of the way, out of the way, dammit.’ Whispering at them won’t get them to move but I’m hoping they wouldn’t see me coming.

 

Warrior Jets, ‘Surrender the target or death will welcome you.’  Three soldiers with jet packs shouting their warnings at me, but I know better, they’ll say anything to achieve their objective, the jerks once hunted me down for weeks on end, and they stopped when more than fifteen men didn’t reported back to their base. ‘Shot to kill.’

 

To my surprise the target was up on the passenger side hiding like a child looking back at the passing citizens, and at the Warrior Jets firing, he looks at me and said ‘Give me a gun,’ so I socked his face.

 

‘Take the wheel.’ I told him.

 

‘Shit,’ he stagger to grab the wheel. ‘You didn’t have to hit me.’

 

‘Just drive.’ I unlocked the roof of this convertible and climbed over to the back looking at the warriors, the thrill I got from grabbing my rifle can hardly put a smile on my face but it is there. I take aim. My shots was quick and took ones left arm, left him spinning down to our level , another managed to dodge my second shot with his rifle, he dropped his gun and they started splitting up.

 

‘You got one? He looks back after he heard my rifle fire.

 

‘Eyes forward.’ He felt my stock hit his face this time, then he panicked in pain when a warrior zoomed in front of the automobile, whirling from the bullets. ‘There’s one in front of us!’

 

I turned my body forward but was interrupted from behind by the armless one latching on my rifle, he must have dragged along the ground exhausting his chest armour, relentless. My left elbow hit his chin, hooking around his head to pull him in front, he doesn’t let go of my rifle while facing the barrel at me, BANG, it scorched my right ear as I tilted my head fast enough to keep my focused eyes on him, meanwhile the target straggles to avoid every shot the one in front fires by serpentine. The armless one pulls my rifle with me along with it holding on and he used both knees to my face while my knee hits his, he keeps hitting me as I did the same and I know only one of us will give and it was him, the blood loss must of gotten to him so with both of my hands trying to plie my rifle back, my foot made its final contact with his face, and I get shot in my left shoulder, pushing me on the passenger’s front seat, with my legs up in the air.

 

‘Shit.’ I hastily tried to get back up right. I could see the second warrior with his pistol that hit me from behind.

 

‘Hey, give me a bloody gun!’ he was getting annoyed of both me and the warrior in front.

 

The warrior behind us threw a grenade that hit the target’s head and I quickly rushed over to the back seats, I picked it up and hurled it back at him while three bullets hits my right arm, pushing me back down. Luckily the grenade exploded behind his jet pack, damaging it and he went flying into the nearest buildings window. I was too strained to notice the last warrior landing on the hood of the vehicle.

 

‘Oh hell.’ The target left both arms into the air, as the warrior pulls the trigger his clip was empty and he reloaded and took aim. I turn to see what was happening and my instincts got me to duck down as the target did the same. The warrior chuckled and pulled the trigger once more the moment his head collided with the entrance of a tunnel sign “You are now leaving Refugee City”

 

The target rushed back to the wheel looking back once at the tumbling Warrior behind the tracks, and he notice my rifle at the corner of his eye, I left my head from cover and notice his eyes not focusing on the road. It was an awkward six seconds when I slowly reached for my gun as he did, or so he made me believe, then he quickly whistled, placing his hand behind his head. ‘I’m not going to bother fighting you when I think we could help each other, yeah?’ I knocked him out from behind the neck again and took over the wheel with my good arm.

 

‘Agent Pollux, I got the target. Report back to…. Shit.’ Of course, no signal in a tunnel. I have to make contact with Agent Pollux the moment we’re out but I have no idea where this tunnel leads. Just where was this guy taking us and he better have what we’re looking for because I killed more than I was expecting to, but wondering what purpose they have with him is none of my business, I just need to retrieve the Orb and the job
