The Nine Worlds Of Omega
Chapter 49: Chapter 49 An Old Friend
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWe made our way to throw the city ships coming in and out of the city, cars, and trucks going around the city. The city is alive and well for the city this size.
We main our way down one of the main roads seeing a large ship over our heads heading towards the other side of the city.
Before seeing a transport ship coming into range in my rear-view mirror looking from its size a little more than 50 meters long. The exhaust fumes are in cyan color and the paint color show two shades of purple one dark, one light.
The place is heading not towards where the others are heading; it heading to a hanger on the east side of the city. Knowing that we must stay for the night and if I know who piloting that ship. We’ll be better off for it.
Rainbow sees the ship heading for the east side of the city. “Did you see that?” Rainbow asks Spike making him turn his heading seeing the small purple ship.
I pull off the main road Spike saw that, making him turn around and begin to follow. “James, what are you doing?” He asks me over the radio. I ignore him and pick following the ship towards its hanger.
The others hear this wondering what is going threw my mind. Twilight gets on the radio trying to get my attention. “James, answer me.” She said making her turn right on the next street coming up making the others follow.
Danny’s drone seeing the ship heading east wondering why I’m following it as well.
With following me and not knowing that the others have begun to follow, I see the ship slowing down and a roof opening up something that doesn’t look anything like a hanger, like a warehouse-like one of the safehouses. Which got me thinking was this place on lockdown or it must be one off the books.
I pull off to a side road next to the building and park it. Looking around before I get out seeing a way in. I open the door and get leaving the heater and the engine still running so the dog want to get cold.
I hear a motorcycle behind me making me turn and see who follows me. “Spike, what are doing?” I ask him, seeing him pulling up next to me. “I would ask you the same thing?” Answering my question with one of his own.
“Curiosity.” I answer him looking anyway getting in the building, then seeing an open window, then seeing a drainpipe next to it making my way towards it.
“Curiosity.” Spike said out loud only that he can hear it, then seeing me climbing up the pipe. Begins to follow climbing the pipe.
I open the window so I can get in. I hear someone coming behind me making to see who it is. “Spike?” I call out his name in confusion looking at him getting into the window.
“I’m trying to find out what in name of Celestia are you doing?” He asks me almost into a shout.
“Keep your voice down I don’t think we are alone.” I tell him seeing where we are hearing the roof closing and the engines shutting down.
Looks like a bedroom we are in that hasn’t been used for a long time now. I quickly move over to the door and open little seeing the other side, Lights coming from downstairs near the ship. I get down low open the door more get threw heading to the stairwell.
I look over to see where Spike is seeing that he’s only a few feet away from to keep low. “Wait here, until I give the word.” I tell him moving downstairs seeing the ship.
“Dolphin class.” I thought to myself before seeing the feet of the owner on the other side getting lines to hook up to the tail end the same side whoever the person is.
The owner start coming this way, making me duck into the darkness around me making sure I wasn’t seen.
The owner is no more than 5ft 9in from where I’m standing, wearing a suit for space travel still wearing its helmet that was blackout, heading upstairs knowing that Spike is still up there.
As the owner makes its way upstairs keeping quiet and, in the shadows, make my upstairs seeing the owner heading towards the bedroom.
Seeing Spike on the far side of the room, I quickly made my way towards still in the shadows. “Spike.” I whisper to him getting his attention, scaring him a little in the progress.
I see the light coming on in the room. I see whoever standing there feeling the cold air going getting the attention of the owner. “That damn window broke again I know that I’d close that window before I left 3 months ago.” It said closing the window
The owner closes the door making us move to a nearby window quietly opening seeing another pipe only a few feet away. “Go first Spike.” I tell him, making him climb out the window heading down to ground level.
I look over at the window seeing the person making me wait for a moment or two, seeing the shadow of the person taking off the helmet and removing a cap letting its hair down, removing the suit seeing that the person is female and a fine looking one at that slim body, toned butt, and a good size of C-cup breast.
The shadow moves away heading across the room. Making me act quick jumping out the window sliding down with Spike waiting on me. “What kelp you?” He asks me seeing the shadow of the person off the wall on the other side making me and Spike lean back to the wall.
Before seeing the light turns off, making both of us make a run for it to the cars. Spike quickly gets on his bike and starts the engine.
Before opening my door, I tell Spike one thing. “We let the others know what happen here.” I tell him with a stern look on my face.
Elsewhere across town.
Twilight and the others get lost driving threw the city ending up in the bad part of town. Rarity looks concerned about the contention that they landed themselves in. “Twilight, are you sure you know where we are going?” She asks her over the radio making Fluttershy to the radio now. “Know what you mean, plus it looks like it going to be dark soon.” With a worried tone in her voice.
Applejack gets on the radio this time. “I notice that for a while and be best to find somewhere to rest for the night.” She said in a worried tone in her voice as well, making Rainbow notice that Spike is missing for like a half an hour now.
“Anyone seen Spike?” She the rest over the radio. “I saw him turn around a while ago heading down one of the side roads and asking what James is doing.” Rarity answers her question, making Duke and Danny wondering what I’m doing heading for the eastside near one of the old and decommission warehouses.
“Twilight pick up, if your there.” Hearing my voice over the radio. “James, what going on disappearing on us like and where’s Spike?” Twilight asks with a worried tone in her voice. “I’ll tell you later, meet me at a bar near our location on the east side of town and Spike is here with me.” I answer her question.
“A bar what is its place called daring?” Rarity asks me. “The name is White Russian.” I answer her question leaving them on their own.
“Does anyone knows where this place is?” AJ asks over the radio. “I think so, it's been some time since the last time I was here.” Duke answers her question leading the way towards the bar.
Meanwhile at the White Russian.
I just got off the radio taking the dog with me with Spike leaning next to the car with his bike parked next to me, seeing the sun beginning to set with only 7:17 pm on the clock.
“You think whoever owns that ship we come to a place like this?” He asks me. “She’ll come.” I quickly answer her question seeing the building is more like a shack than the other building around it with a big parking lot.
“She?” He asks me confuse from with I just said. “Yes, I got a real good look at her.” I answer his question and this is a place where you want to get somewhere without going threw the airport.” I answer her question closing the door heading to the front door.
I when threw the doors making everyone turn to see just came through the door. Making me feel unwelcome, I when to the bar to get myself a drink. “Can I help you?” Ask the barkeep. “I’ll have Scotch on the rocks and an apple cider.” I tell him. “What about the dog?” He ask me. “Got something back for him?” I answer with one of my own. “Might have some leftover meat or something, I’ll have to check.” He answers my question starts getting our drinks ready. “Bring it over.” I tell heading to a table where Spike sitting at a big enough for the whole group coming in the back.
Meanwhile outside
A stranger walks up to the bar wearing a hood over her head seeing a group of cars and a bike pull in the parking lot making her deck into a side of the building out of view, before seeing the car and bike that was at earlier.
“They must be looking for me?” She thought to herself seeing them getting out of the vehicles before hearing their conversation.
“This is the place.” Duke said out loud getting out. “James and Spike must be already inside.” Twilight said out loud heading into the building.
Hearing that name making her have alarm bells going off in her head before pulling out her phone with a list of names and James C is on that list.
Inside I already taking a sip of my drink with they walk in. “Twilight, over here.” I shout over the noise in the bar, while the dog getting his fill on some leftovers from the kitchen.
Spike turning the bottle upside down getting the last of it. Everyone takes their seats while a waitress coming up behind. “What can I get yah?” She asks us. “Let me see two beers and 6 ciders.” I tell her before Spike interrupts me.
“Make it another.” He said out loud starting to feel good. “7 ciders.” I corrected myself.
“And for you?” She asks me. “I’m good.” I tell her taking another sip of my drink.
Once all the drinks got here, I can tell the others what going on. “You see I notice that want be enough time to get the element and get out before the sun goes down and the temperatures get unbelievably cold on this world.” I tell them.
“How cold can it get?” Rainbow asks me gulping her drink nearly finish it in one go. “Trying like -150oF during the winter months.” I answer her question.
“That pretty cold?” Pinky said out loud.
“That not the only thing as well.” I said rubbing my neck a little seeing a person in a hooded jacket just coming from the cold before taking a seat at the bar.
“What is it, James?” Rarity asks me making nearly everyone turn hearing that name. “It's about the water I didn’t pack to the journey ahead.” I answer her question.
“Why not use the water here?” Rainbow asks me just finish off her drink. “Because the water here, isn’t water; it’s really mercury and become very deadly to those who try to drink it.” I answer her question when there a big guy starts walking up to me.
“James Cribb.” He calls out my name getting attention. “Can I help you?” I ask him. “Yes, you’re a wanted man with a 25-million-dollar bounty on your head.” He said out loud making everyone else get up from what he just said, everyone but the person in the hooded jacket returning to her drink.
I took a deep breath before getting up with my drink before taking the last leaving only the ice in the glass. “I just hate to waste a good drink like that.” I said out loud leaving the man confuses from what I just said, before taking the glass and smashing it in the side of his head leaving him unconscious.
Which makes everyone bar the bar to come at me. One came to my right I quickly dodge out of the way making him run into the table next to me. While another came on my right, I aim my arm out to him making one of the deices I keep in my sleeves to act like a taser sending electric shocks threw his body before collapsing to the floor.
Witch makes the others scare a little before one pulls out a handgun and takes aim at me. With quick think I grab a nearby chair and throw it at him making him fire the gun only hitting my shoulder leaving only a flesh wound. Sending the guy to the ground making the gun flying out of his hands and across the room.
At that point, things are to go crazy at the bar hearing what sounds like a storm that just comes out of nowhere over the bar making everyone at the bar scare out of their mind, everyone except for the person in the hooded jacket still finishing her drink.
The storm outside gets bigger sending lighting strikes around the buildings before one hit the building, sending it threw the building and hitting me but not killing me. But something else something new I have never felt before, making the mark on the side of my neck glow and hand to glow purple.
I see that asshole grabs his gun and pointed it at me again and fires it until it was empty. Seeing the fear in his face now, I reach up to remove my sunglasses; showing that my eyes are also glowing purple as well. I reach up with my overhand and send out a lighting blot towards him in a quick flash and a rumble of thunder. He falls over dead with a hole threw him and a black spot on the wall behind him.
The power goes away from me making the glowing stop, finally getting the attention of the person in the hooded jacket that just finished her drink.
“Are you here to find me or something else?” She asks me before alarm bells goes off from not just my head but everyone else in the group. “Have we met before?” I ask her.
“You might have seen me before.” She said removing her hood to the group letting her red and yellow fall behind.
“Sunset.” Twilight calls out to her.
