Chapter 9: The Escape



Sitting with his back on the bars, Flint was fiddling with his nub clasp. Making sure the wires weren't damaged. Deg was once again in his chair rambling about his war days.

“Those humans, man...” He mindlessly continued, “I have to give them medals, they fight like....well they fight good. It sucks we lost the war, but I know why.”

Flint was completely ignoring Deg and spoke out loud, “That hurt! These wires are connected to nerves. Sheesh! That dude's not sensitive.”

“I grabbed my gun and jumped out of the trench....”
“Gah! I think this one is fried!”
“.....took out three of them and then BOOM!”
“I don't thing even the SCRiD could fix this one.”
“...covered in blood and guts and next thing I know.....”
“I wonder if I need to go to a hospital?”
“...my arm was somewhere around my dead buddy! Damn it hurt!”

Kuusco kept glancing at the led. Captain Darc fell to his seat. He paused and wiped his tears.
“Take her away....and bring me....my son.” His cold spoken voice had weakened.

Ferten approached Kuusco with his hands reaching for her. In a swift motion Kuusco threw a back kick into the buzzards chest. He flew back into the wall as feathers flew up.
Kuusco then leaped for the leg on Darc's desk. She clutched with her bound hands and popped off the battery pack on the calf of the prosthetic. Kuusco shifted the battery around, pulling out a handle.

Darc stood up to retaliate, but he was soon met with a gun to his face. Kuusco had it aimed to his head.
“Clever girl.” Darc said as he smirked, “I see your skill in creating weapons out of nothing has improved.”

“Pick up the leg, we are going for a trip.” Kuusco scowled.
Ferten tried to get up, but only faced Kussco's foot again that knocked him out.

Flint and Deg both fell asleep in their positions. Flint curled up near the bars, snoring. Deg was sprawled out in his chair drooling. A sudden buzz in Deg's ear. He jolted awake and fell backwards. The collapse woke Flint who jumped up and hit his head on the prison bars. Flint grabbed his head and groaned.
Deg sat up and pressed his ear-piece, “What?.......Get him out?.....Ok Captain”

He stands and opens the cell for Flint, “Come on! Captain wants you.”
Flint sits and gave him a dark stare. Deg paused, “OH! Right!”
Deg picks Flint up and supports his left side so Flint can hop along.

Kuusco opened fire with her makeshift gun, but not hitting Darc. He sat there, emotionless as his desk of buttons sparked. Kuusco swiftly grabbed the unconscious buzzard and held him as a meat shield as she left the door. Though her hands bound, she managed to get the gun up for a shot.

Judge stood at the door, but before he could respond, a plasma blast from the battery packed gun struck his lower jaw. The metal jaw dropped opened as he stood in shock. He reached for his gun, and it was immediately shot out of his hand.

Kuusco backed away with her cover still unconscious, and moved her way down the ramp. Any movement met with an accurate blast from the plasma gun, and each shot hit a prosthetic shutting it down. When she made it to the ground, Kuusco dropped Ferten and bolted to cover behind boxes.

Flint and Deg enter to a battlefield. Deg drops Flint and takes his rifle out and joins the conflict. Flint falls and curses at Deg. Suddenly a bullet hits the ground near Flint and he yells and crawls to the nearest cover. He finds a stack of boxes and presses his back to it.

Flint turns to his right only to find Kuusco firing on people.
“Kuusco?!” He shouts.
She instinctively turned and pointed a gun at him, “FLINT!! You made it!”
“You did this?!”
“Of course!” Replied Kuusco with a smile. She turns back and fires more rounds and retreats to cover.
“Hold up your cuffs!” She orders. Flint did so, “Wh...”
BOOM!

A plasma blast fries the cuffs and Flint screams, “WHOA!!!! WARN ME!!!! Sheesh!”
Kuusco then gives the gun to Flint and Puts her handcuffs to the barrel, “Ok, fire!”
“What? I can't do that!” Flint protested.
“Yes you can.”
“I can't! I might hurt you.”
“Its a battery pack from your leg.”

Flint opens fire snapping the handcuffs, “YOU WHAT?!”
Kuusco takes the gun and opens fire again without response.
Flint shakes his head in anger and starts to climb up to a stand. He glares at Kuusco.

Kuusco stands up also and then she spoke, “OK! Heres our opening. Run for the boarding ramp.”
“I can't R...”
Before he finished Kuusco ran on Flint.

His jaw dropped. He then looked for something useful. A stick fallen from the tree lay at Flint's foot. He picks it up and uses it as a crutch.

The firing died down and Flint took the opportunity. He dashed with his makeshift crutch, as fast as he could across the room. He didn't notice that all guns stopped firing on him. His adrenaline rushed to his ears and he ran fearing for his life.

He made it to the door of the Ant, and all Gerna's crew members did not pursue. The door closed and Flint collapsed on the ship panting and laughing from the excitement of being alive. His personal celebration was shortened by the jagged rush of the ships engines. The simulated gravity thrusts Flint back to the wall.

The Ant pull out snapping the docking bay off. It soon thrusts away, and the Gerna never opened fire on it, and the Ant got away. Captain Darc watched as the craft boosted away. He looked at his desk and the leg was gone.
