Theron ran out of the convenience store,
"Is that your friend? I think she's in trouble..." The blue woman asked. Theron glanced behind him as he ran across the street.
"It's my sister!" He barged through the crowd, knocking several people over, apologizing if he noticed.
Sister? So that explains it.
Syril watched Theron go after his sister and then looked down on her slurpee that she held in her hand. Decisions, decisions. Indeed, she was in quite the predicament. Syril's face shot up towards the ceiling and cried out in frustration...in the end she decided to help Theron and leave her beloved slurpee behind. Hoping that it wouldn't get kidnapped or murdered, she set down her slurpee just outside of the convenience store and ran after him...
Theron reached out his hand as the metal door closed in front of him. He drew his machete and helplessly slapped it against the metal construction.
"You owe me another slurpee if I do this." Syril said. It was gonna take a lot more than a metal wall to keep her out.
"I'll buy you whole damn machine." Theron yelled back. Keeping his very empty and very poor pockets unmentioned.
That comment immediately made Syril stop what she was doing.
"My own slurpee machine..." she whispered to herself in awe as her eyes glittered from pure happiness. Syril was now for a short moment in her own little daydream world...
She was in a wide open hilly-field covered with poppies, daisies, and tiger lilies of all sorts of colors. On the other side of Syril who was holding her hand was her slurpee machine...now dubbed Rufus. Syril and Rufus skipping in slow motion, giggling, and playfully calling on each other's name... but then Rufus tripped on a rock and down he rolled on a steep hill...
CLANK CLANK CLANK!! was the sound every time poor Rufus' body hit the ground...
Clank Clank Clank!!
Snapping out of her dream Syril noticed that the clanking noise was coming from Theron's machete who was still trying to get through that stupid metal wall.
Syril, focus damn it! She scolded herself in her head.
Syril yelled at the pedestrians to move out of the way as she increased her speed, jumped high in the air, and shot through the metal wall with a flying kick as she yelled out, "
HEY YOU GUYYyySSS! Here I comEEeeeeE!" Behind her was a large hole next to Theron that was large enough for him to pass through. Inside the store, due to the momentum, Syril had slid across the floor while on top of the metal wall that she had just broken. She then stopped right in front of the store owner who was about to take out his gun but Syril immediately kicked it out of his hand and gave the store owner another kick on the chest which made him stumble back several steps. The gun flew upwards and landed several feet away from him.
Artemia had been thrown into a very cold room in the back. She stood up as the door was closed on her, locked from the outside. She banged on the door briefly, then placed her ear against the door as she heard a loud sound and the scraping of metal.
"Theron!" She yelled and hit the door repetitively. She hate being stuck unable to do anything to help. Luckily living in the gangs and streets taught you some unorthodox skills. She wasn't very good if it wasn't a classic tumbler lock, but she had learned a few tricks from a long list of devices. She grabbed a few things from her backpack, which hadn't been taken away, and got to work, hopefully in time.
Theron ran through the hole in the metal, only his machete in hand he reached down and grabbed the store owners pistol.
Syril looked over at Theron and saw the sneaky monster alien coming up from behind him. Syril not wanting to give the monster the golden opportunity, quickly grabbed the broken piece of metal laying next to her on the floor, which for her robotic arms didn't weigh that much at all, and threw it at the monster like a Frisbee. She yelled out to Theron,
"Duck!" and hoped he wouldn't question it since he didn't have the time to do so. The flying disc with sharp edges flew across the room with enough power to slice through flesh.
Theron glanced to his side just in time to dive under the flying object as it took the dinosaur like alien's arm off, and dug into its side. It screamed as blood fell to the floor. The store owner charged Theron as he was still crouched. Theron stood up backed up a step then thrust forward with his machete toward the Sha'Ni.
Artemia struggled with the electronic lock, but she managed to overload it with the battery from her playstation. Something that will probably take a long time to fix but no matter. Artemia kicked the door open and stepped out. The large one that had grabbed had lost it's arm, but seemed to still be willing to fight. The store owner was putting up a fight with Theron, the two exchanging blows, and a third, one she hadn't noticed. A grey and blue alien she didn't recognize. She had already been running to help Theron with the store owner.
Theron attacked to the side with his machete, but the Sha'Ni grabbed Theron's arm and threw it over his shoulder, then disarmed by dislocating his shoulder. The machete fell from Therons hand and into Artemia's who ran up just in time to grab it in both and slash it across the owners chest.
On the other side of the room Syril was taking care of the monster alien who was ready for another round. They both stood there for a second before charging towards each other. By the time Syril got to the monster alien, it did a low blow in spitting on her face to blind her temporarily. The monster brought down it's heavy right arm and scratched Syril's right side of her rib-cage; cutting through her shirt as well. Luckily, Syril had quick reflexes to avoid a deeper cut and so was only left with a very long shallow scratch that wasn't bleeding too bad. Wiping off the goo out of her face she growled out of anger. The alien tried to scratch her again but Syril had used his momentum against him by pushing his right arm roughly to the right knocking him out of balance. Syril quickly grabbed the metal piece yet again and by the time the monster turned around she had pierced his chest with it. The monster was still moving forward but Syril stopped it dead in its tracks as she jumped up and kicked with both feet pushing the metal piece all the way in to where it sliced his chest off including its heart. The two pieced monster finally laid dead with its dark green blood spreading across the floor. Syril got up to her feet and winced slightly at the pain on her side. She looked down at her right hand and a little bit of blue blood was imprinted on it. Her tolerance for pain was high so she'll be alright soon as she patched herself up.
