Episode 8
Previous ChapterNext ChapterStryker immedietly rushed at Clint with full speed, and slammed him into a nearby wall, as Clint grunted with pain, while Stryker let out an unpleasant growl. "You've got some nerve showing up again you scumbag" He growled.
"STRYKER....Hear me out" Clint pleaded which fell on deaf ear's for Stryker.
"You had your chance on our last little journey" Stryker snarled, as he picked Clint up, and threw him hard on the ground, as Clint groaned from the harsh impact. Stryker attempted to punch him, but Clint dodged the blow, and kicked Stryker back. Stryker grunted in response, as Clint tackled him, as the two rolled, and fought.
"Hang on Sheriff" Shift told him, as he attempted to help, but a gunshot from Sinon caused him to freeze in place.
"Nuh-uh-uh.....I don't think so" Sinon told him with her gun pointed at Shift.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!?" Shift shouted angrily.
"Let them sort out their issues" Sinon told him with an eased voice.
"WHAT IF THEY KILL EACH OTHER!?!?!?!?" Shift shouted at the mare.
"Well that's not my problem" Sinon shrugged, as Shift growled.
"I don't know who you are......but your going down" Shift challenged, as Sinon couldn't help, but let a soft chuckle to herself.
"Bring it on kiddo" Sinon smiled. Shift immedietly deployed an auto-turret, as it targeted Sinon to be an enemy, and began to open fire. Sinon quickly dodged behind cover, knowing that she had to be careful around the sentry turret. She was joined by the dog Clint had, until a bullet shot through the cover...making the dog run off. Stryker, and Clint exchanged blows with their fist's, as Stryker knocked Clint down to the ground again.
Clint finally managed to block his blow's, as he threw Stryker to the side. He quickly got up, and pointed his gun at Stryker.
"STRYKER.....LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!" Clint shouted trying to get through to his friend. The machine gun turret Shift used was unloading it's bullet's to where Sinon was hiding, only for the turret to malfunction, as Shift gasped.
"Gaaahh......not now....AAAAHHHH!!!!!" Shift screamed, as hot steam bursted from the turret, and burned his face. Sinon pulled out a flamethrower, and bursted from cover, while spraying the hot flames. Shift dodged out of the way, while Clint dove to protect Stryker from the deadly fire. Clint got up, beside Stryker, as he turned to Sinon with a sigh.
"Maybe I should've put you in charge of negotiating" Clint sighed.
"Yeah....you should have" Sinon replied, while rolling her eyes. Stryker got up from the ground, as Clint approached him.
"Look Stryker....if we wanted to kill you....my sniper would have done it a long time ago" Clint told him, as Shift groaned, and got up...looking at Stryker.
"He has a point Sheriff" Shift replied. Stryker looked down remaining silent, until Shift spoke again after he got on his feet. "You saw those mercenaries go down" Shift defended, as Stryker let out an annoying growl.
"So what.......what's different now?" Stryker angrily asked Clint.
"Nothing's different.....I still hate you...." Clint shot back.
"RRRRRRRR!!!!!!" Stryker growled, angrily in frustration.
".....but Pixel need's us" Clint finished, as Stryker let out a sigh, while Shift looked at Stryker confused.
"Alllllriiighty then.....so.....uhhh.....truce?" Shift asked, as Stryker spoke next.
"Truce" Stryker answered.
"Temporary Truce" Clint shot back.
"How about the trigger happy one over there?" Shift asked, pointing to Sinon who let out a deep sigh.
"Uggghh.....I'm with Clint" She groaned in annoyance.
"Alright then.....Shift's got a plan" Stryker told Clint.
"Let's hear it then" Clint said, turning to Shift.
*****
At Vampra's base...all of her Cybermen were lined up, ready for combat with Stryker, as the lead Cyberman that she had, approached her. "High Lord....our scout's have not detected any motion from the area surrounding our immediate proximity.....there have been no sign's of the pony Stryker" The Cyberman reported, as she brushed it off.
"No matter if he's as predictable as he's proven to be so far.....he'll show" She snarled, as her hand curled into a fist, cracking a few knuckles.
