Sasha and company raced down the hallways trying to
reach the ron-de-vue point to meet the others. They
were very careful not to run into any demon soldiers on the way. They blend into the
shadows, peeked
around corners, and sneak attacked lone soldiers, all just to avoid any major
confrontation, but as their
journey went on Tex was getting more and more nervous. It wasn't the fact that they might
get caught by the demons, it was the fact that the Xanian, he was carrying around, was wearing a tight suit
that seemed, to Tex
anyway, to be alive. As the group got up another floor, Tex just quickly laided the Xanian
down and backed
off.
"Ugh!" Tex said as he shook his hands in disgust.
"What the hell are you doing?! Pick him up Now!!" Sasha angrily ordered.
"Heck naw. You carry him." said Tex still in disgust. "That, that thing he wearin' its doin' the creepy crawlies."
"I always knew that Tex lost his mind and this just proves it." Komino chimed in.
"Just shut up will ya." Tex was really annoyed by Komino antics. "I'm tell ya'll the truth. There is somethin' strange happenin' with that black suit of his."
"There is nothing wrong with that suit," Sasha replied still angry. "It's all in your damn mind. Now pick him up or be left behind."
"Now you wait just one minute." Komino said in a very cold tone to Sasha. "The only one that would be left behind is you, if you make anymore of your empty threats again."
"How dare you speak to me that way!!" Sasha was furious. "And I do not make threats, I make promises."
"I don't care." Komino said sternly. "Promises or not, the guild never abandon their own no matter what you say or do."
"That's right girly. Take it or stick it." added Tex as he looked as Sasha all smug, chewing his metal toothpick he popped in his mouth awhile back.
"Fine, so be it." Sasha responded quickly which lefted the others quite suprised. They thought that she would do whatever she threaten to do but she didn't. That's because Sasha knew better. She knew that she had the power to force them to do what she said or just kill them off instantly. But if she did, using her powers would weaken her and in her weaken state would make her an easy prey for the demons. Secondly, if she killed them both the odds of her making it out the Demon Labs alive would be greatly diminished. So she lets this situation slide, this time, but she still wanted Tex to carry the Xanian.
"He will pick him up the Xanian and carry him until we return to the Guild's location. Is that understood?"
"Fine he will." Komino answered.
"I will what? Naw haw I ain't carrying him." Tex said as he shook his head.
"Will you just do it," Komino said sternly to Tex. "unless you want us to be caught by the Demons because of this foolishness."
"Awwww Daaaang." The last thing that Tex said as he finally picked up the Xanian, giving up the argument.
With all this that went on, no one notices that the Xanian had begun to gain consciousness.
The demons continued their assault on the three, shooting rounds after rounds of lazer fire but it was quite clear the demons were taking careful aim not to hit anything of importance. Jazzmin knew she had to take advantage of that in order to get her group out of the lab alive. She began to shoot the demon droids aiming for the eyes. She knew that by shooting the droids in the eye will cause a chain reaction which will end in very explosive results. As she tried to get the shot, Jazzmin accidentally exposed herself from behind the container which gave one demon a perfect target.
Jazzmin yell out in pain as the lazer beam went through her right shoulder, forcing her to fall back to the ground and to lose her grip on her gun.
"Jazzmin!!" Tritops shouted out in a panic as he saw her lying on the floor.
Seeing that the demon was about to finish Jazzmin off, JamaicaBase extends her javelin that was attached to her armband and threw it straight through the demon's skull. This cause the demon's hand to freeze in shooting position as he fell over backwards. JamaicaBase quickly dragged Jazzmin out of range as wild lazer fire filled the room. Most of it focusing on the unshielded container which in turn cause the container to crack wide open and allowing the female inside to fall right out.
"Jazzmin. You ok girl?" JamaicaBase asked in concern as she saw the wound on Jazzmin's shoulder.
"Y-Y-Yeah, I-I-I'm ok. Don't worry about it." Jazzmin said trying to ease JamaicaBase's concerns. Jazzmin searched her pockets and found another shinny metal plate and placed it over her wound to stop the bleeding.
"Jazzmin, what are we going ta do now?" JamaicaBase was becoming nervous but she tried very hard not to show it. "If we don't get out of here right away, there won't be any chance of us getting out later on."
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking, just keep shooting and try to take out as many demon soldiers as you can."
JamaicaBase did what Jazzmin ordered as Jazzmin try to think of new plan of attack against the demons but she was interrupted by a low moaning sound. She looked to where the sound came from and to her shock sees the female, that was in the container Jazzmin was hiding behind, lying in the floor, in harms way. Jazzmin knew the female didn't have a chance of surviving in this lazer fight so with out hesitation she went for the female.
"Jazzmin are you NUTS stay down!!" Tritops yells to Jazzmin as he sees her going for the female but his warning came to late. A another shadow demon who snuck into the lab and hid behind the three lunged at Jazzmin. There was nothing Tritops and JamaicaBase can do they were both pinned down by the lazer fire. The shadow demon was trying to drag Jazzmin into the demon's shooting path but Jazzmin continued to struggle against the creature. But just as everyone including Jazzmin thought that she wasn't going to make it out of the creature's grip, the creature was shot to death and Jazzmin quickly ran for cover. Then another shot struck a demon droid right in the eye causing the effect that Jazzmin was trying to get before she was injured. One after another each droid that was near the doorway was shot in the eye all most simultaneously which cause one very massive explosion. So huge the doorway became big enough for a jet to go through. The three reptiles remained hidden until they heard nothing but silence. Tritops was the first to get up and look around.
"Will someone tell me what the hell just happened?" Tritops then turned his attention to JamaciaBase.
"What you lookin at?" replied JamaciaBase as she notice Tritops staring at her. "It wasn't me if that is what you thinkin."
"Well I know it wasn't Jazzmin who did it. So if it wasn't you then who?"
"It was her."
The two looked at Jazzmin and sees her carrying the female she was trying to save before, a female collie, but the female was obviously unconscious.
"HER?" the two reptiles said in unison.
"Yes. She was conscious before. She reached out and grab my gun that I had dropped and shot everything up before fainting." explained Jazzmin.
Tritops and JamaciaBase looked around the room again, seeing all of the massive destruction that was cause by the female collie.
"For a female that was only half awake, she sure has one hell of a good aim." Tritops said in amazement.
"Yes she does. That's why she is coming with us."
"Are you sure you want ta do that girl?" replied JamaciaBase who was suprised by what Jazzmin just said. "We didn't come here for her."
"Of course I'm sure. She just saved our lives and paying her back by simply leaving her behind......we would be no better than the demons who brought her here in the first place."
With that said, the three reptiles ran out of the lab taking with them two bodies instead of one, Tritops carrying the "child" and Jazzmin carrying the female.
