The boys landed on another world, still not not
back on their world. They looked around to see where they had landed this
time. It was a large city tall buildings surrounded them. It was just starting
to grow dark and the city was lit up brightly with lights.
"I don't think that we are home." Luke said.
"Not unless Hazzard turned into a big city
since we've been gone." Bo said.
The boys started to walk down the street. Wondering what they would
do if they were stuck on this world, they had no money and had no idea
where to go. All he other people that were walking along the sidewalk cleared
away from Bo and Luke and looked down at the ground as they walked past.
"What's all these peoples problem?" Bo asked.
"I got no idea." Luke said.
"We ain't that scary looking, are we?" Bo
asked jokingly.
"Well I'm not. You on the other hand . . ."
Luke jokingly responded.
Bo looked at Luke. "Cute."
They continued to walk down the street.
"I would like to know what their problem is.
It's kinda freaky. I mean we ain't dressed different and we don't look
different at all." Bo said.
"Maybe it is something to do with our doubles
on this world. I think we should just find a way to get out of the city
and hide out somewheres until another portal comes along." Luke said.
"What if there is no portal?" Bo asked.
"I don't know. There more then likely will
be, there has always been before." Luke said.
"Whatever." Bo responded indifferently.
They walked in silence for a couple minutes. Luke glanced over worriedly
at Bo. Bo was walking down the straight, staring straight forward, with
no expression on his face.
"Are you okay?" Luke asked, there was a hint
of concern in his voice.
"I am fine. I am just tired." Bo's voice sounded
tired and stressed out.
"Are you sure?" Luke asked, he had the feeling
there was more then that wrong.
"I said I am fine." Bo responded, his voice
sounded irritated. "Don't worry about it."
They continued to walk down the street in silence. Luke occasionally
glanced over concerndly at Bo.
A man sat in front of a bank of television
sets, that showed many different areas of the city. He noticed Bo and Luke
walking down the street, and a very shocked look spread across his face.
He grabbed a phone and quickly dialled a number.
On the thirty-fifth floor of that same building
a man stood looking out the window at the city. He turned around when he
heard the phone ring, it was Bo's double. His blonde hair was in about
the same style, he wore a tight pair of black jeans, a black t-shirt, a
pair of black cowboy boots. He picked up the phone.
"What do you want?" Beauregard questioned
angrily. "It had better be important as I left strick orders not to be
disturbed."
"Sir, it is quite important. I think there
is something that you would like to see on the monitor in sector 51-G."
the watchman said.
Beauregard turned on a small monitor on his desk, that sat on the large
oak desk, just beside the phone. He saw Bo and Luke walking down the street.
"Who are they?" Beauregard asked.
"I have no idea sir. I only just spotted them."
"I want them brought up to my office at once."
Beauregard demanded.
"Yes sir." the watchman said.
After hanging up the watch man contacted the guard to go to sector
51-G and to get Bo and Luke and to bring them to Beauregard's office.
Bo and Luke were walking around the city not
really knowing were they were going. They heard sirens pierce through the
air steadily growing closer to them. They stopped to see what was going
on. A patrol car pulled over to the side of the road and stopped by them.
Two guards got out of the car and approached Bo and Luke.
"Okay, you two come with us." one guard said
to Bo and Luke.
"What did we do?" Luke asked.
"Don't ask any questions. Come along quietly
or suffer the consequences."
Neither Bo nor Luke argued with the guard and got into the back seat
of the car. The guards then got into the car and drove them towards Beauregard's
office.
Beauregard was standing looking out at the
city when the guards arrived with Bo and Luke at his office door. One guard
knocked on the door.
"Enter." Beauregard said as he turned around
to face the door.
The guards and Bo and Luke then entered the room. Bo and Luke saw that
it was Bo's double on this world. Beauregard then motioned for the guards
to leave. The guards left closing the door behind them.
"Now just who are you?" Beauregard asked.
"I'm Luke Duke and this is my cousin Bo. We
ain't from this world. We come from an alternate world."
Beauregard walked over and stood directly in front of Bo. "Is what
he say the truth?"
"Yeah." Bo responded nonchalantly.
"How did you cross over?" Beauregard asked.
"We . . ." Luke started to say but stopped
when Beauregard gave him a look to be silent, then looked to Bo for the
answer.
"We don't really know. It was an accident."
Bo said.
"And you ended up here?" Beauregard asked.
"Actually we have been to two other worlds
before ending up here." Bo said.
"Really? Is that so?" Beauregard asked walking
back over to the window.
"Yeah that is so." Bo said there was a hint
of agitation in his voice.
Beauregard smiled, when he heard the agitation in Bo's voice, he smiled
assuming that Bo was a lot like himself and that Bo would be a great help,
in his strive for world domination. "I do believe you. I suppose you are
wondering why I had you brought here." Beauregard said.
"You could say that." Bo said.
Beauregard smiled. "Well I'll get to that a little later. First come
along with me, while I tell you about this world."
"Yeah sure." Bo responded.
Luke remained silent, there was something about Beauregard that he
didn't like, but he couldn't place just what it was.
Beauregard walked over the door, and Bo and Luke followed him. They
walked down a short hallway to an elevator. Beauregard typed in a code
on the control panel and the elevator opened. They got onto the elevator
and Beauregard pushed the button for the basement level.
"Well it is such a long story. I'll start
from the beginning." Beauregard said, turning to look at Bo. "It really
starts when I was twelve, my parents died, and I went to live with my uncle
Jesse and cousins Luke and Daisy."
"Really? We were raised by our uncle Jesse
as well. Though my parents died when I was only two months old." Bo said.
"Sounds like we have something in common."
Beauregard said and smiled. "Any way I didn't like farm life at all and
didn't really get along with my cousins, especially Luke. He always thought
that he knew everything, he'd never admit to being wrong and always tried
to boss me around. Everyone always took his side, they liked him better.
By the time I was thirteen I had enough of it so I killed him and Daisy."
"What?" Bo said surprised by what Beauregard
had just said.
"I killed him and Daisy." Beauregard said
and smiled. "Just like I killed my parents. I wasn't planning on killing
Daisy but she showed up when I just going to kill him so I killed her as
well."
Luke stood unable to think of what to say, thinking that this guy was
absolutely insane.
"How did you kill them?" Bo asked.
"Pushed them into a mine shaft at Rainbow
Mines. Myself and Luke were out by there and he started to act like a know
it all and treating me like a stupid child. We started to fight, and I
threw him over the guard rail and down into the mine shaft. Daisy came
along just as I was throwing him over. She would've told if I let her life,
I couldn't let that happen. So I grabbed her and tossed her down with him.
I know they didn't die right away, I could hear their screams carrying
up through the mine shaft." Beauregard smiled as though he could still
hear their screams. "Their screams were like music that I will never forget."
Beauregard was silent for a moment as he remembered back to that day.
"After that I went fishing then back to the house. Of course I said I hadn't
seen either of them since morning and didn't know where they were. Everyone
believed that. Most the whole town was searching for them, a few days later
they found their dead bodies at the bottom of the mine. Everyone thought
it was an awful accident and that they somehow fell down there, nobody
suspected that I threw them down there. When I was sixteen I killed my
uncle. I killed him the same way that I killed my parents. I hit him over
the head knocking him out, then I torched the house. I stood outside and
watched it burn to the ground." Beauregard said and laughed.
"Guess our worlds have some obvious differences."
Bo said.
"Yeah obviously." Beauregard said looking
at Luke with an evil glare.
Luke noticed but made no movement, nor did he respond.
"Well that time they found out it was me.
I also admitted to killing my cousins at that time. However due to the
fact that I was a minor all I got was two years in a juvenile correction
facility. While I was there I got involved in a gang. It didn't take long
to gain control and lead the gang. When I got out the gang grew in size
and in reputation. Shortly after all gangs united and I lead them all.
We easily over threw the government. So we control all of the States.
"You overthrew the government?" Bo questioned.
"Oh yeah with a problem. Any people that dared
to appose us were executed. In about a year and a half all the people in
every state excepted that I was their leader. As you saw when you were
in the city, the people still have plenty, all I ask is that they obey
my every command. After I had complete control I then took over Mexico.
After which I took over Canada, except their territories and the province
of Alaska." Beauregard said.
"Alaska is a state on our world." Bo said.
"Not here. I didn't want to bother. That area
is really a waste land all the minerals and oil had been long since taken
out of the land, and they had once tried to separate from the rest of Canada
causing a war and most that land was bombed and toxin polluted the land
making it no longer suitable to sustain life." Beauregard said.
"Oh." Bo said. "What about Hawaii?"
"It no longer exists here. In 1979 there was
a massive volcanic eruption that cover everything in molten lava killing
all life on it. Most of it then became flooded by the ocean, it's now just
a rock that isn't even as big as the building that we are in." Beauregard
said. "I am currently working on taking over other countries all over the
world. I have recently taken over the northern half of South America."
The elevator came to a gentle stop in the
basement. The three of them walked off the elevator. Beauregard walked
over and stood beside Bo. He put his arm around Bo's shoulder. Two soldiers
then emerged from a small, nearby room. They walked over by Luke. One of
held a gun against Luke's side.
"I have a proposition for you, just because
you are me, only from another world." Beauregard said.
"What is your proposition?" Bo asked.
"That we rule this world together. But first
you need to prove to me that you are willing to make some small sacrifices."
Beauregard said.
"World domination sounds like fun." Bo said.
"What kind of sacrifices, are you talking about?"
"Oh really more of just one minor detail."
Beauregard said then looked over at Luke.
"Oh, you mean him." Bo said nonchalantly.
"Yes. To prove to me that you are indeed just
like me, I want you to kill him. Of course, it will not an instantaneous
thing I am thinking more of a slow painful death." Beauregard said.
"Yeah whatever. I never really cared that
much about him anyways." Bo said.
"What?" Luke question unable to believe what
Bo was saying.
"You heard me. I mean you are just like his
cousin Luke, you treat me like I am some kind of stupid little kid, you
never admit to being wrong and you think that you are so much better. Well
I have had enough of it. I've finally found someone who really understands
me." Bo said.
Luke stood staring at Bo, with a very shocked expression on his face.
He couldn't believe his ears, he felt as though Bo's words had stabbed
him through the heart. "Bo . . . you can't mean that? How could you?"
"Easy. Don't you get it I can't stand you
it's over between us cousin." Bo said.
Bo tried to avoid really looking over at Luke not wanting to see the
hurt in Luke's eyes. The last thing Bo really wanted to do was to cause
Luke pain. However Bo knew if the two of them were going to get out of
this alive, he would have to gain Beauregard's trust. Bo knew to do that
it would have to appear that he had indeed turned against Luke. He wanted
to tell Luke but he knew if he tried to that someone could overhear what
he said, and that in order for the plan to succeed this all had to look
real.
They then continued to walk down the hallway.
They came to a small cell. One guard shoved Luke in. Beauregard typed a
code into a control panel that was located on the right hand side of the
cell. Luke walked over to the bars, and touched them. When he touched the
bars they emanated a electric pulse that sent Luke flying backwards. He
slammed against the back wall and slid down to the ground.
"What was that?" Bo asked.
"The cell door has a low electric current
running through it. It is not strong enough to kill anyone, it is just
enough to stun them. Like I said I will give you the pleasure of killing
him." Beauregard responded.
"Yeah, thanks." Bo said with fake enthusiasm
and giving a fake smile.
Luke sat against the far wall, trying to hide
his pain and anger. He didn't blame Bo for anything that was happening,
nor was he angry at him. It was Beauregard that he was angry at. Luke felt
that Beauregard was taking advantage of Bo's current vulnerable state that
had been caused by all the current stress of everything that had been happening.
He knew everything had been hard on Bo, as it had been hard on himself.
Luke figured that all the stress had finally just gotten to Bo, especially
with his double on this world trying to con Bo into being like him. Luke
wished that there was something he could do to keep Bo safe from this lunatic.
He didn't trust that Beauregard wouldn't hurt Bo as well. Luke hoped
that if he wasn't still alive by the time the next portal opened, that
Bo would go through or be pulled through, like they were the first time,
anything as long as Bo was okay.
Another man then came over to the cell, carrying
a small black case. Beauregard typed in another code on the control panel,
shutting off the electric current. Bo tried to watch what he typed, but
he couldn't see the panel clear enough to see the entire code. One guard
entered the cell and walked over to Luke. He grabbed Luke by the shirt
and roughly pulled him to his feet and then led Luke out of the cell. The
guard stopped before Beauregard. Luke tried to hide the hurt that filled
his eyes, he glanced over at Bo, but Bo diverted his gaze away from Luke.
Beauregard stood staring at Luke, with an evil smile on his face. "Well
let's let the games begin, shall we?"
"Let's do it to it." Bo said with fake enthusiasm.
They went into a small room that was a few feet
away from the cell. The guard secured Luke to a steel bed, with leather
straps. Luke flinched as the guard pulled the straps tight. After he finished
securing Luke, the guard left the room and stood outside the closed door
to wait to take Luke back to his cell. The man who was carrying the box
set the box on a small table that was near the bed. Inside the box where
needles and small vials of a chemical AXTO-469. Bo looked at the needles
uneasily, and Beauregard noticed.
"What's the matter?" Beauregard questioned.
"I hate needles." Bo responded flatly.
"So do I, but not when it is for someone else."
Beauregard said.
"Yeah I guess." Bo said giving a fake smile.
"We'll just let Dr. Xanton inject him." Beauregard
said then turned to Dr. Xanton. "And why don't you tell our guest here
just what he will be getting an injection of."
Dr. Xanton nodded, then filled one of the needles with the contents
of a vial. "This is a chemical called AXTO-469. In small quantities it
is not lethal, however it is still poisonous to your system."
"I don't know if you have this chemical on
your world or not. It is a really nice chemical." Beauregard said, then
laughed evilly. "I'll tell you now what you will feel once a small quantity
of it is injected into your system. The initial pain will actually be quite
brief. However your heart rate will be accelerated to three times its normal
rate. Breathing will become quite difficult, your lungs will feel like
they are on fire. Though I assure you this pain will be minimal compared
to the pain you will be feeling in time."
Beauregard nodded to Dr. Xanton then to inject
Luke with the needle. He injected Luke with the needle, and almost instantaneously
Luke felt the pain. Luke closed his eyes tight from the pain and gasped
to try to catch his breath. Beauregard stood smiling watching Luke's suffering.
Bo stood staring at the wall, not wanting to see Luke's pain Dr. Xanton
then left the room and the guard came back in. The guard untied Luke's
body. Luke was to weak to walk on his own and the guard drug him back to
the cell. Beauregard and Bo followed close behind. The guard dropped Luke
on the floor. Luke laid on the ground unmoving. Beauregard turned the electric
current back on. Beauregard noticed how quiet Bo was being. "What's the
matter?"
"I got a headache. I have had it for quite
a while." Bo said.
"Well a room has been prepared for you. There
should be some aspirin in the medicine cabinet in there. I'll show you
there. It is on the twenty-sixth floor.
Luke had opened his eyes and he watched as
they walked away. He was still in a lot of pain but was starting to breathe
normally again. He feared for Bo's safety, he hoped that these people would
no hurt Bo.
Beauregard took Bo to his room then went to his office.
"Do you think that he can be trusted?" one
of the guards asked.
"Of course, he can be trusted. He is just
like me. He has just never acted upon his anger before." Beauregard said.
Bo stood looking around the room. It was quite
a large room, there was a sliding glass door that led out to a balcony
on the far wall. In one corner was chair, on which laid a change of clothes,
a pair of stone washed blue jeans, a dark blue t-shirt. On the left wall
was a door that lead into the washroom. Bo walked in and opened the medicine
cabinet and took out the bottle of aspirin. He took two aspirin, a had
a glass of water to wash them down with. He walked back into the bedroom.
Against the right wall was a bed. Bo walked over and sat down on the edge
of the bed, and took off his boot. He laid awake on the bed, from where
he was he could see out the window, the night sky was lit up brightly by
the city lights and no stars could be seen in the sky.
Bo didn't really feel like sleeping, he felt awful
about everything that was happening to Luke. Bo silently vowed to himself
that he would get Luke out of this alive. He didn't care if Luke hated
him and never spoke to him ever again after this, as long as Luke was alive.
Bo figured it was the only way that they would get off this world alive.
After a few minutes Bo fell asleep from pure exhaustion. Bo wasn't asleep
long when he started to have a nightmare.
Bo was walking in the basement through narrow, dimly
lit corridors. The smell of death reeked heavy on the air around him. He
knew that he had to find Luke, but he didn't know where to look. He came
to the end of the corridor and there was a large steel door. Bo reached
out to open the door. The handle was freezing cold to the touch. Bo slowly
opened the door. He saw Luke standing in the middle of the small room.
He tried to call out to Luke but he couldn't find his own voice. Beauregard
walked out of the shadows, only he was dressed more like Bo, he walked
towards Luke carrying a long sword. Bo tried to run forward to help Luke,
but he found himself unable to move. He tried to do something to stop what
was happening, but it was as though nobody could see him. Bo watched in
horror as Beauregard plunged the sword through Luke's heart, killing him
instantaneously. Luke's dead body lay on the ground in a pool of blood.
A cold chill swept through the room and both Beauregard and Luke's body
vanished. Bo stood alone in the small room, which seemed to have grown
even smaller, the walls appeared to be only mere feet away. Luke then appeared
and stood in front of Bo.
"Luke . . ." Bo said his voice trailing off.
Luke just glared at Bo, not responding.
"I am sorry. I never meant for this to happen.
I didn't want this to happen. I thought it was the only way. I didn't .
. ." Bo started to say, but Luke cut him off.
"I don't believe you. You wanted me dead.
It is your fault. You killed me." Luke said.
"No . . ." Bo said, not really knowing how
to respond to what Luke said.
"It is the truth." Luke said.
The walls started to bleed, blood pooled on the floor splashing up
around Bo's ankles and quickly growing higher.
"No . . . I never for it to happen." Bo said.
"But it did happen. Vengeance must be served."
Luke said, then vanished from the room.
The room grew small, the ceiling was mere inches above his head. The
blood rose quickly over his head. Bo couldn't breath, he could feel himself
starting to lose consciousness.
Bo woke and sat straight
up in the bed, a scream was in his throat but it held it back. His body
was covered with sweat. Bo sat there breathing deeply. His whole body was
slightly shaking from fear. He sighed and got up from the bed. He realizied
that he shouldn't be concerned for his own life when it was Luke's life
that was in danger. He went and stood out on the balcony, and stared out
across the city. Bo knew that there was no way he would be able to sleep
now exhausted or not.
Luke wasn't having a much better nights sleep
then Bo was having. The cell was cold and damp, but that was not why Luke
was having a bad nights sleep, it was the nightmare that kept him awake.
Luke was standing in a small brightly lit room. A few
feet from him was Bo and Beauregard. Bo walked towards him carrying a sword.
"Bo . . . don't do this cousin." Luke said
trying to reason with Bo.
"Don't tell me what to do Luke. It is over
between us." Bo said, his voice void of any emotion.
Bo raised the sword, it glistened in the bright lights. Luke wanted
to close his eyes he didn't want to see what he knew was going to happen,
but he couldn't close his eyes, he was frozen in fear. Bo plunged the sword
through his heart. He felt himself die. Though he was still aware of everything
happening in the room. He knew that he was dead and that he could do nothing
to stop anything from happening to Bo. Beauregard took the sword from Bo.
Luke sensed that he was going to kill Bo now. He could tell Bo wasn't aware
of what was going to happen. He wanted to yell to warn him, but knew Bo
couldn't hear him and there was nothing he could do because he was died.
Luke watched in terror as Beauregard killed Bo.
Luke woke up, he held back the scream he felt in his
throat. His whole body was trembling. He sat up and leaned against the
wall. He could never remember being so scared of anything in his whole
life. He hoped that even if he was killed that Bo would be okay and that
these people wouldn't turn on him and kill him as well. Luke sat in silence
staring into the empty blackness that surrounded him.
Bo watched as the sun rose slowly over the
horizon. He walked back into the bedroom, after he put on the change of
clothes we went into the washroom. He splashed some cold water on his face.
He still had a pounding headache so he took another couple if aspirin,
and drank of glass of water. He slid the bottle of aspirin into the pocket
of his jeans, just in case he need more later. He heard a knock on the
bedroom door, and went and answered it.
"Good you are awake." Beauregard said, and
smiled. " Today will be a busy day, first off we will go down and pay that
cousin of yours a visit. Then I'll show you around here and give you the
codes to run everything and too get in and out of everywhere."
"Let's get on with it then." Bo said, stepping
out of the room and closing the door shut behind himself.
The two of them went down to the cell Luke was in.
Luke was sitting against the back wall, staring
straight ahead at nothing in particular. Luke felt a little relieved when
he saw that Bo was okay. Bo was glad to see that appeared to be doing
better then when he had saw him last. Bo tried to avoid making eye contact
with Luke, afraid of the pain and hate that he would see in Luke's eyes.
Bo thought to himself. "After I get all those codes we can get out
of here and hide out until the next portal comes." He refused to think
of what could happen to Luke between now and then.
Beauregard took a container out of the pocket of his black leather
jacket. He opened the container and took out two small dark blue and orange
pills.
"Since we will be busy for a while there is
not time to make your life a living hell at this point of time. However
that doesn't mean that you will be having a good day until we can get back
here. These pills are call Verioniciyl another really nice chemical. It
was created by a group of my scientist. Basically what they do is make
your insides feel as though they are on fire." Beauregard said smiling
evilly at Luke, then handed the pills to Bo. When Beauregard had his back
turned to type in the code to turn off the electric current, Bo slid his
hand into his pocket, and dropped the pills into and quickly opened the
bottle of aspirin and took two out. Beauregard didn't notice what Bo was
doing.
"There you can go in and give Luke there his
medicine." Beauregard said.
Bo smiled. "Yes sir."
Bo walked into the cell and knelt down in front of Luke. He took Luke's
hand and placed the pills in it. "Take these. Don't bother to try and fight
me on this because you can't win cousin."
Luke didn't feel like fighting Bo, so he just took the two pills. Bo
smiled and stood up and turned and walked out of the cell.
"It will take a few minutes for the drug to
kick, but you'll soon feel pain." Beauregard said.
The two of them then left the cell. Luke was once again alone in the
small dimly lit cell.
Beauregard showed Bo all around the building
and where all the control panels were located. He told Bo the codes and
gave him a book that contained all the codes in case he forgot any before
he was used to the building. Beauregard then showed Bo around most the
city of Hazzard.
"How big is Hazzard?" Bo asked.
"It's about a five hour drive from end to
end." Beauregard responded. "The main building is the centre point of the
city. I have other places that I sometimes use has living quarters, further
out of the city."
Bo didn't say anything, he sat looking out the side window watching
everything they drove past. Hazzard wasn't different from any other large
city. Bo thought it seemed a lot like Atlanta.
By about four that afternoon Beauregard had
shown Bo most of the City of Hazzard. The returned back to the main building.
"I think it is time to finish of your cousin
now." Beauregard said.
Bo nodded, saying nothing.
They went down to the basement, but they didn't
go to Luke's cell. They walked into a large, brightly lit room. In the
middle of the room the floor was slightly lower the the rest of the room.
Three stairs ran along the entire edge of the lower area.
"This is a combat room." Beauregard said.
"The fighters fight to the death in the lower level while bystanders stand
along the edge watching the battle."
Beauregard handed Bo a long sword. The sword had a gold handle that
was embedded with jewels. Bo turned the sword around slowly, watching the
blade reflecting the bright lights.
A door on the far wall opened. Bo looked up
at the door. A guard came in shoving Luke along in front of himself. He
shoved Luke down the stair, then turned and left the room. Bo walked in
the centre of the room.
"I think it's time to end this little game.
I am sure by now you are feeling the full effects of the needle that the
guard gave you. Can't have you winning this fight. So it is not a fair
fight, oh well." Beauregard said and laughed.
Luke walked towards Bo the drugs had taken full effect on his
system. His vision was blurry and his head was pounding. He stumbled as
he walked towards Bo. He stopped and stood inches in front of Bo. He just
stared at the sword, thinking how it resembled the one that was in his
dream.
Beauregard smiled. "I was right you are feeling the full effects of
the drug Trichlorophite."
Luke tried to look up at Bo even though he could
barely lift his head. He looked at Bo his eyes were a mirror to his inner
pain. "I refuse to fight you." Luke said his voice was tried and weak.
No sooner had he spoke the words and he passed. His limp body fell forward.
Bo caught Luke in his arm. Bo eyes brimmed with tears but refused to cry.
He feared that Luke was going to die and felt that Luke's suffering was
all his fault.
"Finish him off now, while he's down." Beauregard
said.
Bo gently laid Luke's body down on the ground. He then stood up and
turned around to face Beauregard "No."
"WHAT!?" Beauregard shouted in disbelief.
"You are a traitor."
"No I am not a traitor. I would only be a
traitor if I ever really did turn against Luke. You and I are as different
as day and night. Now I have all the codes to get out of here so me and
my cousin are leaving." Bo said.
Luke was still awake and he could hear what
Bo was saying. He was relieved that Bo had not really turned against him.
Bo moved to pick up Luke when Beauregard attacked him. He hit
Bo across the head. Bo stumbled back a couple paces, dropping the sword.
"You made a big mistake. You would've had
everything money and power." Beauregard said.
"It isn't worth the cost." Bo said.
"Not worth the cost of one life?"
"That's right. Money and power are worth nothing
unless you have friendship and love." Bo responded.
"You are fool. Now you are going to die alongside
your cousin." Beauregard said.
Beauregard walked over to Bo and then punched
him in the ribs. Bo stumbled back a couple of paces and fell to the ground.
Beauregard bent over and picked up the sword. Bo was starting to get, clenching
his ribs in pain. Beauregard walked over and kicked Bo in the ribs, knocking
him back down to the ground. Beauregard raised the sword to finish Bo off.
Luke saw everything that was happening. His
still felt weak and his whole body ached when he admitted to move, however
he knew that he had to save Bo. Luke stood up, his whole body was shaking
but he ignored the pain. Neither Beauregard nor Bo noticed that Luke had
got up and was approaching them.
"Say good bye." Beauregard said darkly.
Luke was inches behind Beauregard. "Good bye." he said and hit Beauregard
in the small of his back.
Beauregard spun around and surprised and pained expression on his face.
Before he could react Luke hit him in the stomach. Beauregard fell backwards
striking his head on the concrete ledge and losing consciousness.
Luke then collapsed to the ground, losing
consciousness. Bo held Luke's head in his lap.
"Luke please wake up. You can't die. Do you
hear me? You CAN'T die." Bo said his voice pleading.
Bo felt tears burning his eyes, and tried to hold them back. Though
as hard as he tried a couple tears still slid down his cheeks
Luke started to wake up and slowly sat up. Bo smiled relieved
to see that Luke had woken up.
"I feel like I got hit by a truck." Luke said,
then looked at Bo.
Bo smiled. "I am glad that you are okay." he glanced away from Luke.
"What's wrong?" Luke asked he could sense
that something was bothering Bo.
Bo turned and looked at Luke. "I'm sorry about everything."
"There is nothing to be sorry for. I heard
what you said. Sounds like you had a good plan." Luke said.
"Aren't you even the slightest bit mad at
me for what happened?" Bo asked.
"No. Not at all. Never was. Everything is
fine now so just don't worry about." Luke said.
Bo smiled glad that what had happened hadn't in any way destroyed their
friendship.
"Now let's get out of here, before the guards
come back in or he wakes up." Luke said.
Bo stood up then help Luke stand. The drugs had began to wear off but
Luke still could barely walk. He leaned on Bo's shoulder for support.
They managed to get out of the building without
being spotted. They walked away from the building, a few blocks later they
went into an alley. About an hour later it was beginning to grow dusk outside.
The drugs had completely wore off of Luke's system, the fresh air really
helped make Luke feel better. The two of them sat in silence both praying
another portal would soon open. A portal then opened a few feet away from
them.
"Let's hope that this one is home." Luke said.
"Yeah I truly hope that it is." Bo said.
They walked through the portal, and just like all the times before
it closed shut just after they passed through.
