Off the Grid Season 3

Stryker kept firing, bullet after bullet from the pistol he had collected earlier, as Vampra used her hyper speed to slice each bullet in half with her scythe. Pixel charged in with an attack, but Vampra blocked the blow, and forced her back into the wall. Vampra took a step toward's Pixel, but a gunshot from Stryker turned her attention to him. At that moment Pixel got up, and managed to block an attack from Vampra. "Hold on Pixel....." Stryker shouted, as he attempted to aim his gun at Vampra.

Vampra immediately forced Pixel back, and used her force power's to slam Stryker into the wall, as he grunted painfully. Pixel immedietly got up, and charged, as she gave Vampra a deadly slash....as blood dripped from a fresh wound. Vampra was knocked back, but not out of this fight yet. Pixel stood in front of where Stryker was with her sword at the ready. "YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Vampra got up, and shook off her wound. "I'm not scared of you" Pixel threatned.

"Let's finish this....." Vampra snarled, as she used her force power's to charge her body up with even more magic, as her current one was being used dry. Her wound healed, and she ready to kill her enemies....Vampra fired a powerful lightning bolt at Pixel. The earth pony, managed to block the blow, and tried to take the bolt's energy.

"Hmmmm.....uuuhhh...." Shift stuttered, as he looked through an empty room of destroyed metal, and many other various item's of the base hub where Vampra was earlier

"Well.....where's the reactor?" Clint asked wanting to get this mission over with.

"I-I don't understand.....it's suppose to be right here" Shift motioned, until he discovered the item that had the EMP signal, as he realized his mistake. "Oh no.....I followed the wrong signal"

"Yeah......well that's great.....real great it's not like TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, OR ANYTHING!!!!!!!" Clint shouted angrily at Shift.

"LOOK THERE ARE A TON OF DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES....." Shift reminded him. The two began to argue back, and forth, until Sinon began hearing Xenomorph shriek's from inside the compound.

"What's that sound?" Sinon asked, as Clint, and Shift stopped arguing, as they listened through the darkness. The alarm's that had been going off were heard, as the cell door to the Nightmare being that Vampra had captured.....immedietly shut down. The little girl's demonic laughter echoed, and her tentacles squirmed from her bloodied room, as she escaped. Immedietly Shift, Clint, and Sinon were running toward's the reactor room, as fast as they could with the escaped Xenomorph's in pursuit.

Sinon came to a stop, as she primed a grenade, and threw it at the Xenomorph horde, and Xenomorph Queen which had also been imprisoned with it's drone's, after they came through the door. Her two grenade's killed the horde of drone's, but the Queen was unscathed....and very angry, as it hissed at her. Sinon pulled out her pistol's, as she began firing at the Xenomorph Queen which charged at her.

She managed to shoot the Queen down when Shift came a stop at the entrance. "COME ON THIS WAY!!!!!" Shift shouted to the other two, as Clint came to a stop, and turned to see Sinon fighting the queen.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!?!?" Clint shouted at his partner. At that moment, as Sinon looked at Clint....the bleeding Xenomorph Queen charged forward, and grabbed Sinon....lifting her up in the air. Sinon managed to shoot the Queen enough to drop her, and give it new wound's. Sinon stepped back, as she primed another grenade to throw into the Queen's mouth.

"DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!" Clint shouted, but it was too late. The Xenomorph Queen charged the minute she threw the grenade. The queen was too close, and the grenade detonated close to both the Xenomorph Queen, and Sinon who were knocked back by the explosion. Sinon could hear a lot of ringing from the blast, as she felt her vision becoming blurry, while her gun's were knocked aside. Shift had shielded himself from the blast, and Clint was knocked down after getting closer to his partner.

He then saw the state she was in. "NOOOOOO.....SINOOONNNN!!!!!!" Clint shouted, as he ran over to check to see if she was alive.

"Oh......no" Shift said in a worried tone. Clint set Sinon in his arm's, as he looked at her. Sinon was in bad shape, and she was bleeding out from the heavy, critical wound's she took from the grenade. "Hey....Hey....talk to me" Clint said to her, as he looked at his partner...trying to hide his emotion's.

"Clint?" Sinon asked weakly with a burn mark on her face.

"I-It's me.....we're gonna get outta here" Clint told her.

"C-Clint.....i-it's ok.....it's too late for me....I'm...." Sinon tried to tell her, as Clint shook his head in denial.

"D-Don't....don't say thing's like that.....your going to be ok" Clint told her, as she smiled at him.

"You have a job to finish....." Sinon told him.

"THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!" Clint shouted, as Sinon giggled.

"Liar...." She replied.

"W-What?" Clint asked her.

"I know.....how you feel about Pixel....I alway's did...." She told him, as he had a guilty look on his face, until she spoke. ".....Go......be hero....just like you were mine.....don't.....let.....me.......dooowwwnn" She said with her final breath, as Sinon died in his arm's. Clint held her close, and hugged her one last time before he got up.

"Clint....." Shift stammered, as Clint looked at Shift, before he looked at Sinon's body, and smiled.

"See ya around" He told her, as he went to where his gun was at that he dropped from the grenade explosion, and picked it up. "Let's go" He said to Shift.

"You gonna' be ok?" Shift asked, as Clint picked up his gun, and re-loaded it.

"Yeah.....now it's personal" He snarled in a cold voice, as the two proceeded to the reactor.

*****
After blocking the lightning bolt....Vampra charged at Pixel again....as she used her sword to block Vampra's attack. Both Pixel, and Vampra exchange deadly attack's with impressive speed, and skill....metal meeting metal. Stryker finally shook his head after getting hit by Vampra's attack, as he saw Pixel fighting Vampra head on. Stryker immedietly dove for his gun, and fired a powerful shot that knocked Vampra's scythe out of her hand.

Vampra immedietly fired a powerful bolt of lightning at him which slammed him into a wall. Pixel immedietly charged in, as Vampra fired another bolt of lightning at her, as she blocked the blow, until it threw her back against the wall. "Predictable" Vampra sighed, as she went over to where Stryker was who was wounded, and struggled to get up. "I'm dissapointed....I was expecting more of a fight from the great Sheriff Stryker" She smiled, as she used her force power's to pick him up, and slam him into the wall again.

"Pathetic....how does it feel to know that your knight in shining armor has failed you once again?" Vampra asked, as Pixel turned away with a guilty look on her face from what happened to Lyca.

"Don't worry Pixel....it's going to be ok" Stryker said assuringly, as Vampra laughed before she turned to him.

"I don't think you understand the situation your in right now" Vampra smiled, as she pulled out two twin knives that she had just created using the magic in her body. "You're already dead" She smiled, until a gunshot rang from a pistol which she immedietly blocked....causing her to look at the reactor entrance.

"I don't think YOUUUU understand the situation your in right now" Clint told her, as he lowered his weapon.

"YEAH!!!!!!" Shift shouted at Vampra.

"YOU MADE IT!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted with a smile, as Vampra let out an annoying growl.

"You Equestrian ponies alway's find new way's to be annoyingly unpredictable" She snarled.

"And your annoyingly hard to kill" Clint chimed in with a smile. He immedietly opened fire....keeping Vampra distracted, as Shift ran over to Stryker.

"Sheriff....I need you to buy me time, while I set up the explosives" Shift told him, as he gave his missing armor piece back that amplified the signal, as Stryker put it back on.

"You got it" Stryker smiled, as he got back up. Clint continued firing his gun at Vampra, as she used her new blades to slice each bullet in half, until he was out of ammo.

"Uh-oh" Clint realized, as Vampra stepped forward, unti she was forced to block another one of Pixel's attacks. Vampra forced her back, until Stryker attacked with his armor plate, as she used her knife blade to block the blow. Pixel immedietly charged in, as Vampra used her other blade to keep Pixel blocked, as she kept the two at bay. Clint re-loaded his weapon, and pointed the gun at Vampra who had her hand's tied.

Vampra managed to knock Pixel, and Stryker back, while Clint opened fire, as she blocked the blow. Shift started planting the bomb's as all of them activated, and were set to explode, as he pulled out the detonator. Vampra forced Pixel back from another charge attack, as she spotted Shift when she saw what he was doing. "I don't think so.....maggot" She snarled, as she charged up her magical lightning, and fired it at Clint, and Stryker forcing the two back.

She used her magical lightning to force Pixel back, and her force power's to bring Shift to her, as the detonater arrived at her feet, and picked it up. "Nice try.....you almost had me" Vampra smiled, until a distant shriek was heard, getting her attention. "What now?" She asked, as a Xenomorph Prateorian....that was also imprisoned, and didn't join up with the other's immedietly charged in, and attacked Vampra.

"NOOOOO!!!!!!" Vampra screamed, as the detonator was knocked out of her hand, and away from all the other's.

"NOW'S OUR CHANCE.....GET THAT DETONATOR!!!!!!!!" Shift shouted, as Clint immediately went for it. Vampra managed to finally kill the Xenomorph Prateorian, as she tried to use her force power's to snatch it, but made a crucial mistake, as Clint's attempt to get it....knocked it to the only pony who was there.

"STRYKER!!!!!!" Clint shouted, as Stryker had gotten up, and quickly grabbed the detonater, and smiled.

"Game over Vampra" Stryker smiled, as he pushed the detonator, and the bomb's blew. The reactor went out of control, as Vampra was electrified from the overloaded magic, as she screamed in agony....with too much magic harming her system.....she dissapeared in a blinding white light. The reactor began to collapse, and give way as it almost collapsed on Pixel, until Clint knocked her out of the way. The two ended up outside of the reactor room with Stryker, and Shift sealed inside the collapsing, sealed off area.

"STRYYYYKKKEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as he woke up from the debris....realizing he was trapped inside with Shift....no breathing room, and no air. Pixel shouted his name again, hoping to get a response. Shift attempted to remove the rubble, and grunted....but it wouldn't budge.

"Uuuuughh.....it's no use Sheriff.....it won't budge....GAAAHHH!!!!!!" The two shouted, as another explosion occured within their side of the sealed room, forcing them to get back from the entrance.

"Clint....take Pixel, and go....get out of her" Stryker told him, as Pixel looked back wth tear's starting to form in her eye's.

"No......I'm not leaving you" She replied....her voice breaking. Clint turned on his radio, as he spoke through it.

"Initate evacuation" He said to his smart motorcycle, as it drove through the base toward's Clint, and Pixel.

"Make it back to The Grid, and tell our story.....save our people....I'll find you again someday Pixel.....in this life, or the next" Stryker told them, as the vehicle arrived outside the reactor room to pick up Pixel, and Clint.

"Pixel we gotta get out of here" Clint told her, as Stryker spoke.

"CLINT GET HER OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as Clint grabbed Pixel, and got on the motorcycle with Pixel struggling with all her might, as tear's were flooding out of her eye's.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Pixel screamed, as they drove out of the abandoned base which continued collapsing. In the darkest depth's of that closed off space, Stryker, and Shift were sitting down....waiting for their end to come.

"I guess this is it then" Shift said to Stryker.

"I guess it is" Stryker smiled, as turned to look at the Sheriff.

"It was an honor to join you on this mission" Shift smiled, as Stryker turned to him.

"Thank you Shift....I couldn't have asked for a better pony to join me" He smiled, as the place began to collapse....Stryker noticed that the place was immedietly engulfed in shadow, as a familair...psychotic laughter filled the air, as his eye's widened in response.

"Oh no....." Stryker realized.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA" Scarlett Twinkle laughed, as Shift heard the laughter, and looked around confused.

"S-Sheriff....whats that?" Shift asked with curiosity, as Scarett Twinkle appeared, and tackled Stryker.......with her crotch grinding against his, as she looked into his terrified eye's.

"My....prince......mmmmmm.....you're finally all mine, and you brought a friend, as a bonus....let's see if your worthy" She cooed seductively, as the three vanished from where they were at, as the entire reactor room fully collapsed. Clint managed to drive himself, and Pixel out of there, as the building collapsed with what was inside it. The two made it out with the bike, as the entire base was reduced to rubble.

*****
A few hour's had passed, as Clint, and Pixel spent the night out in the wasteland's with nothing to do. Clint comforted Pixel, after she had cried of what she thought was Stryker's, death. "I'm.....sorry.....about.....Stryker....Pixel....but nobody could have survived that" Clint told her with sympathy.

"I'll alway's remember him" She said sadly....looking deeply into the campfire, as Clint sighed.

"Uggghhh....I'm sure you will" Clint replied, as he turned to Pixel. "What now?" He asked her, as she turned to him with a smile.

"Let's go home.....The Grid need's to know what happened" Pixel replied, as they prepared for the journey back home.

*****
At the wreckage of the destoryed based, their was a huge electrica zap, as Vampra appeared out of existence with all the magic left out of her body. She groaned in pain, as she felt her left leg was gone....torn off from the magic overload. She groaned, and growled, as she crawled toward's survival.

"FOOOOuuuuNNNNNDDD YoooooUUUUUU!!!!!!" A demonic voice told her, as Vampra's face was frozen with fear....as the being that she had captured from the Nightmare Realm....was not only free, but stuck around to torture her. The demonic giggle echoed out of the little girl, as she walked slowly toward's her prey, as Vampra crawled, as fast as she could.

"NO....NO....NOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Vampra shouted, as a metallic clanking sound was heard, as Scarlett Twinkle appeared in front of Vampra after taking Shift, and Stryker to a secret place. "N-No.....GAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Vampra screamed in agony, as Scarlett Twinkle slammed her foot down on her opponent's hand. "YOU!!!!!!" She snarled, as Scarlett Twinkle leaned down to be at eye level with her.

"Remeeeeemmmmbeeeerrrr meeeeeeee.......wasn't very nice to keep me trapped down there in that hole......WAS IT BITCH!!!!!!" Scarlett Twinkle snarled at the end of her sentence.

"H-HOW DID YOU ESCAPE!?!?!?!?!?" Vampra demanded, as Scarlett Twinkle laughed.

"How did you lose.....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....Oh poor little Vampra.....there is more to Stryker than meet's the eye.....in fact he just might be the only one....who can be my chosen prince that can spell doom for all. After all......your fight against him was pathetic" Scarlett Twinkle smiled.

"W-What do you want?" Vampra asked.

"I want to bring my friend's back home......and for Stryker to be.....my......mate, but none of them are veeerrrryyy happy with you" She cooed, as the demonic girl behind her cackled, as she spread her tentacle's.

"NO!!!!!!!" Vampra gasped in horror, and her heart dropped when she saw Scarlett Twinkle spread her claw's, as the air was later filled with Vampra's tortured scream's.
