Off the Grid Season 4

Clint walked up to the crimson dragon, known as Lucius, as he greeted him with a better, yet slightly gruff tone. "Hello Clint" Lucius gruffed, as Clint rolled his eyes.

"What do you want Lucius?" Clint asked.

"You have some information that I want" Lucius growled in response.

"Oh yeah.....and what's that?" Clint asked.

"Word is....you know what went down at Vampra's spire" Lucius growled, as Clint shrugged.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't....what's it to you?" Clint asked, as Lucius growled.

"DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME BOY.....Tell me what I need to know" Lucius asked.

"Or what?" Clint replied with a roll of his eyes.

"Or I'll burn this outpost to the ground" Lucius snarled, as Clint shrugged.

"Go ahead Lucius.....I'd like to see you try" Clint smiled.

"Listen Clint.....everyone Feared Vampra, and all of her mindless underling's....imagine our shock when we found out she was taken down in a matter of hour's. Now....rumor has it that you, and that pink pony had something to do with her downfall, along with a few other's that I don't know about....I offer you this.....join me in my quest to re-form this dump of a world, and I'll offer you a place.....as my right hand man. All I need....is you.....that sword, and the information in that little pony head of your's." Lucius explained, as Clint laughed.

"Are you begging? You've gotten soft" Clint growled.

"Be careful what word's you choose for the next few second's.....Clint" Lucius snarled.

"Yeeeeaaahhh.....how 'bout no" Clint smiled.

"WHAT!?" Lucius snarled in response.

"What are you deaf, did you lose you hearing along with the arm I took?" Clint asked innocently.

"CLIIIIIIIINNNNNTTTT!!!!!!!!" Lucius growled.

"I SAID NO.....do what you want, but I'd rather die than help you again" Clint told him, walking back to the outpost.

"CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTT I'M GOING TO BURN THIS OUTPOST TO......THE........GROOOOOOOOUUUUUNNNNDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lucius roared.

"Good luck with that" Clint mockingly winked at him, as he went inside the outpost, while the Dragon stormed off enraged, to get his troop's for the attack.

*****
Back at the outpost....all of the guard's were complaining, and blaming Clint for the attack that was about to come, and were unsure with Commander Ares of fighting back, but he calmed his soldier's down. "Quiet....whether that dragon decides to attack our outpost, or not let us not forget that our defenses.....have NEVER been breached. Prepare for battle.....I want every available combatant at your station's......and you...." Ares growled, turning to Clint. ".....i knew it was a mistake to let you in" Ares scoffed shaking his head.

"I'm gonna guess you want me outta here now?" Clint asked.

"I want you outta here" Ares told him, as Clint began walking off, after Pixel watched that conversation take place.

"What happened?" Pixel asked.

"Grab your stuff.....we need to go....now" Clint told her.

"What......why?" Pixel asked.

"There's a crazy dragon outside, and this place is about to be a warzone" Clint explained.

"AND WE'RE RUNNING AWAY!?!?!?!?!?" Pixel asked.

"Pixel.....you draw that sword of your's, and go out to fight.....and you'll be playing right into his claw's. He want's us to stay, and fight, and die here" Clint explained, as Pixel attempted to protest.

"But....." She started, until Clint cut her off.

"This isn't our world Pixel.....these aren't our people.....now Go get your thing's.....I know another way out of this place" Clint told her.

*****
"Gentlemen....today we take the first step in expanding the grandest scope of thing's. We have offered them a chance to join us.....they have declined" Lucius spoke, as the psychotic laughter of the many Reaver troop's under his command, erupted around him. "Attack swiftly....and SHOW NO MERCY!!!!!!" Lucius shouted, as psychotic roar's of the Reaver's erupted, as they drove their ATV's, and buggy's to Vanguard outpost.....weapon's at the ready. "Mortis....status report?" Lucius asked, opening a communicator.

Mortis was hard to work, re-wiring the defense codes to his body to shut them down, as he finally finished is job. "Defend proficcencies have been drastically lowered, and all gates are ready to be systematically opened under your command" Mortis explained.

"Excellent.....they'll never see us coming" Lucius smiled. The field base that Clint was stopped at to get into the outpost was soon greeted with the Reaver's. A sentry machine gun turret..immedietly opened fire against there enemy's, while the soldier's pulled out there gun's, and took cover.

"VANGUARD OUTPOST THIS IS FIELD BASE INTEGREITY......WE ARE BEING OVERRUN!!!!!!!"

"This is Vanguard outpost....state the nature of your emergency" The outpost reported.

"IT'S THE REAVERS.....THEY'VE ALLIED THEMSELVES WITH THE RAVENS!!!!!!!" The soldier shouted. The Reaver's quickly took down the turret defenses, and then gutted the soldier's defending that area instantly.

"We just lost all contact....activate base wide defenses, the enemy is trying to take us with number's, we cannot let that happen" The soldier that recieved the signal told the guard in charge of raising the outposts defenses who nodded, as he brought the defenses up.

"The Walter WA2000, heavy weight semi-automatic sniper rifle....highest class performance. This puppy here is the Pinnacle of the latest electronic techniques" Tammy told the masked soldier who was looking to buy a gun.

"It's not bad gun....what are attachment's?" The Russian soldier asked.

"Ya got your standard Ark night vision scope, electronic amplifier, and IR thermal scan" She replied.

"Very niiiiiicce...how much you want for gun?" The soldier asked.

"That'll be 12,000 credits" She replied.

"12,000....I can buy tank for that kind of price" The soldier scoffed.

"Boooooyyyy this is one of 176 unit's produced, take it, or leave it" She replied.

"NO DEAL!!!!!!!" The soldier shouted.

"THEN GET OUT.......I OUGHTA CHARGE YA FOR BREATHIN' THE AIR IN MY SHOP!!!!!!!" Tammy shouted, as the soldier walked out of the shop, but stopped, and turned to her, while standing in the doorway.

"Youuuu.....are'a.....Stuuuuuuupid" He said mockingly.

"I TOLD YA' TA GET OUT!!!!!!!" She shouted, while putting the gun away, as the soldier left the shop. At that moment Clint opened the door, looking for Tammy.

"TAMMMY!!!!!!!" Clint shouted in desperation.

"What the......Clint.....I thought ya' left" She told him suprised.

"I'm currently in the process of doing so, but I need your help" Clint answered her, as she stood up.

"What can I do for ya?" Tammy asked.

"You remember that old smuggler's route?" Clint asked.

"Ya mean the gun tunnel?" She asked.

"Yeah that.....we need to use it" Clint answered.

"WE!?!?!?!?" Tammy shouted in confusion.

"Get in here....." Clint groaned, as Pixel poked her head out from the door, revealing herself to Tammy.

"Well butter me up, and call me a biscuit.....you must be Pixel....your a cute little thang" Tammy smiled, with a heartwarming grin.

"Oh....uh...thank you....who are you?" Pixel asked.

"My name is......" She was about to introduce, but Clint was in a hurry, as he spoke instantly.

"She's our ticket outta here" He replied hastily.
