A deadly foe
He saw a dead slig on the catwalk with a gun. He was throwing rocks to see if he could get it to kill the robots.
I woke up, amazed that I was alive.
I was lying in a thick, dark pool of blood.
Ziggy lay next to me.
“Shhhhhh…there are more.” Ziggy whispered.
I peeked over the piles of Sligs.
“They seem to be Guarding Splinterz Office.” I whispered back.
“At the count of three, I want you to throw a pebble over to the catwalk. Then Slug and Jick will throw boddies down on them. Then we run for the office.” Ziggy said.
He passed me a pebble.
I threw it, and two Humanoid Guards came rushing towards it.
Jick and Slug jumped up, piling rotting sligs on them.
They ran about the place, trying to get the bodies off, and one slipped, making its head flying towards me.
I was hit in the stomach, and I picked it up.
Its eyes were red. It started to bite me.
I yelped, and threw it into the other.
A beautiful display of fireworks filled the bloody room.
Slug and Jick climbed down off the Catwalk, and they followed us into the office.
Two Robolice were there, with their guns fixed into their sides locked on us.
“Sir, we have some survivors.” One of the Robo-lice said.
That’s a new feature.
“Very good, Coporal.” A voice said, echoing around the room.
Splinterz chair swirled around.
A tall robotic man with a black cloak on stared at me.
“Biggy Bro Slig? Is that you?” The robot asked.
I didn’t answer.
“Don’t you remember me?” The robot asked.
I shook my head.
“Rukkise, perhaps would remind you?” The robotic man smiled.
“You’re a slig though!” I said.
“Who ever told you that utter Crap? I’m a wolvark. Or I was. I would be alive if you saved me.” Rukkise screamed, banging his fist on the table.
“And Rukkise isn’t my real name either. It’s Pox.” Rukkise said.
Ziggy pulled out the machine gun.
I pulled it down.
“If you are the Commander of the Robots, then why didn’t they kill you?” I asked.
“You stupid soul. I told them to turn on the sligs. I told them to kill them. I wanted power! But then your stupid boss turned me in. That’s why I got a job as commander and changed my name to Rukkise. It was the perfect plan. And it worked! But now, I have been offered a share of Mudos once this battle is over!” Pox bellowed.
Ziggy pulled up the Machine gun again.
But this time I didn’t pull it down…
