Subject: Chapter 47: Ambush

A car speeds along the road passing cars traveling slower than it. The driver, obviously wanting to get somewhere quickly, darted in and out of the lanes to navigate through the traffic of the slower vehicles. The car narrowly avoids hitting a car it was squeezing between, the passengers in the car let out cries of fear as the driver continues his wreckless driving.

“AAAAHHHHHH!!” The passengers scream, the driver doesn’t say a thing.

“Dan listen I like Amanda, she sounds like a nice person. But last time I checked none of our SI’s were immortal, so if we all die! AAAHHH!! We won’t be able to help her out much!!” I pleaded for him to slow it down a little.

We screech to a halt in front of the department store that Amanda was last known to be in. We run inside and look around in the store, trying to find anything that would have been left during a struggle. But there must not have been much of a struggle, otherwise this place would have a few cops roaming around the store.

We split up and find people working the store and ask if they had seen a woman matching Amanda’s description. Red found a clerk that had seen her in the lingerie department.

Each of us smile at Dan when we hear about the lingerie department. “Looks like she was planning the entire wedding day and night Dan.” I said jokingly.

Unfortunately they didn’t see her leave or if she had left with anyone. Danny was pacing around the place looking over areas he had looked over a minute prior to. I stand near the women’s dressing room, coming more into control and understanding of using my newly acquired “Gifts”, I sniffed through my nose to try to pick up a scent. I had sensed Amanda’s scent on Dan’s clothing, so I had an idea of what I was looking for. Suddenly I found a scent of Amanda’s, there was also another scent. Perhaps a man’s scent, I didn’t smell perfume on her kidnappers scent.

“Hey!” I called getting Red’s attention, since he was the closest.

“What is it?”

“I think I can smell their scent.”

“What are you a blood hound?” He asked me.

“No I don’t have the abilities of a blood hound, but I do have the senses of a wolf. I know Amanda’s smell, I can try to follow where she went. Get the others, I’ll keep working on this.”

I make my way around the store following their scent, the others follow behind me as we make our way out the door to the side of the building and make our way to the rear alley behind the store.

“You sure you know what your smelling?” Daniel asks.

“Pretty sure, yeah.” My cell phone rings. By the music playing, I know it’s my dad, trying to check up on me. “Hang on guys, I gotta take this.”

I turn my back to the guys and talk to my dad, while the others just stand waiting.

“So who do you think would take Amanda?” Red asks Daniel.

“That’s what’s been troubling me. Amanda would have sliced someone in half with Golden Sun, so I’m guessing she was knocked out. So that would mean it was someone who knew she wasn’t to be messed with.”

I plug my other ear with my finger to better hear by father on the other end of the phone instead of their conversation. Seems these heightened senses had a little bit of drawback on them. Movement of a shadow on the ground caught my attention from the corner of my eye. The sun castes down the shadow of the buildings roof and there seemed to be someone up there.

Knowing if I cried out to warn the others, whatever number of people watching us would ambush us before they had a chance to get ready for a fight. With my free hand I slowly reached down and grasped the sword Daniel had given me in the bag of supplies he gave us. I still made conversation with my dad on the line to not tip off that whoever was on the roof had been made. I slowly walk over to where the shadow was, apparently they were buying it.

“Yeah, I’ll call you whenever we discover what’s going on. Some really weird things have been going on and I think they’re going to get weirder. I think I’m going to get cut off short here with you. .because. . . I have to . . . .kick. . .”

I drop my cell and leap into the air as high as I could. I grab the sheath of the sword and prepare strike as the roof of the building comes into view. Seeing the figure I saw from the ground, I unsheathe the sword and swipe with it in one fluent motion.

“SOME ASS!!”

I was surprised to see that our observer from above seemed to be an android, as half of the head was severed from my blow. My feet find the ledge of the roof of the store as I see the robot was not alone, there were seven other droids on the roof, their attention was now focused onto me.

“Anyone else want to fill his shoes?” I mocked, with my sword by my side.

The droids begin to rush me, as I throw my sword, impaling one of them through the head. Seeing one of the droids’ eye light up I jump off the ledge of the roof, as a laser from the droid narrowly misses my head.

“Incoming!” I yell to the others on my decent down to the ground.

Upon my landing I look up to see the droids dropping from the roof down after me. Everyone draws their weapons and makes ready to battle the droids.

Red flies into one of the droids and introduces it to the tip of his blade. Junior grabs his power pole and holds it like a baseball bat.

“Power pole extend!” He commands. But to his surprise the other end of the pole grows out at a surprising speed as he is pushed away from the battle and falls nearly half a football field away. His cry of “Ah stupid pole” is heard by all as they stop their aggressiveness of the fight to look upon Juniors mishap, even the droids pause.

“Huh, huh, he said extend.” I said in my impression of Butthead.

Red and Daniel laugh at my joking and robotic laughter is heard from the droids. One of the droids taps another one to get all of their attention back to their programmed mission at hand. To destroy us.

“INFLAMONOUS!!”

Daniel blasts a fireball and destroys three of the remaining robots. Red uses his power of psychokenises and crushes one of the droids like an empty can of coke.

“Last one’s mine.” I call.

I stand still as the last droid walks toward me, it’s hands turn into buzz saw blades, causing the only sound in the air to be the buzzing of the running blades. Yet I remain still and calm as it stands in front of me now, it raises one arm to barrel the blade down onto me.

I inhale deeply, open my mouth and forcefully blow my breath out. A white mist blows from my mouth as it covers the droid, it’s movement was hindered, like it’s batteries were dying and the robot was about to remain in it’s current pose. I blow all the wind out of me and the mist stops flowing from my mouth, the robot remains motionless as icicles hang off parts of the droid. I pull out my sunglasses and put them on, then grabbing the gun that Daniel was nice enough to give me, I point it and smile.

“Hasta La Vista, Baby.”

BANG! The droid shatters into countless pieces, littering the ground with it’s frozen remains.

We look around and see that there isn’t anyone else wanting to mess with us. A few screams coming from people who witnessed the fight as they ran off, probably to call the police.

“So how did you do that? With the Robot?” Daniel inquired.

“Ice Dragon breath can come in handy sometimes. I think we should keep looking and possibly step it up a little, the police are most likely on their way.”
