Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
Planetary (GO!)
I awoke to the sound of Mad Gear and The Missile Kid booming through the diner. I knew it was Girl. I rolled over in my bed, which used to be Party Poison's. I tried to cover my ears, hoping to block out there music. That didn't work. I sighed and just decided to get out of the bed. In the main room of the diner, Girl and Show Pony danced around. It"s been four years. Grace is ten now. She's sprouted too. She used to be so little, and now she was tall and looked like she had grown. Her curly brown hair that used to be super tight to her head, began to relax and now fell a little past her shoulders. Her old outfit of patchwork jeans, patterned shirt and puffy vest had to be replaced. She had grown so much that she now wore cargo pants, a t-shirt, black motorcycle jacket.
It wasn't just Girl who had changed. The entire Zones had transformed. More people fighting Better Living Industries, protecting the innocent. The annoying part about it was that everyone had decided to call themselves Killjoys. That pissed me off. They didn't have the right to do that. They weren't killjoys. They were posers. The real killjoys died, and they would remain the Fabulous Killjoys.
"Dolly" Girl laughed. "Come dance with me!"
"I'm good, kid.
"She said come on! Come on! Kiss my battery!" Grace sang. "Come on! Come on! I'll be your android girl"
"You know Blu hates that song"
"Blu hates any reference to bots in anything." Grace retorted.
"True."
"I'm just trying to have some fun. Since my life is what puts people in danger and all."
"I thought I was fun"
"Until I was eight." I shot the kid a look and smiled.
"So, what's fun to you?''
"I wanna go zonerunnin' with you"
"Oh hell no. What do you want black coffee and cigarettes, too?''
"Actually..."I shot her the 'you-better-fucking-not' look. "I'm kidding. I'm just bored every day because we can't do anything"
"You know why we cant. Its because a little kid I chill with is wanted by all of Battery City."
"Oh yeah"
"Come on Dolly. Let her do something to where she isn't cooped up inside all day." Show Pony said, obviously on the kid's side.
"I already planned something." I smiled, handing Grace a small flyer. Immediately, he'd eyes lit up.
"Mad Gear and the Missile Kid!" She exclaimed.
"It's in four days. Think you can handle it?"
"Oh yeah!"
"Dolly," I heard a synthetic voice say. It was a video transmission. I walked over to the computer that had been set on the counter, and pulled up her screen. Then, I saw the white and silver face of Blu.
"Hey, wants up?" I asked.
"Remember when I told you Better Living would be announcing a new form of exterminator?''
''Yes, I do.''
''Well, they did that today. They're called DESTROYAS. And they're top notch."
"That's kind of fucked," I said. "Calling something that will undoubtedly kill thousands of people out here the thing they look for to save them." DESTROYA is like Jesus. He was meant to come back and save people. That's what everyone hoped for.
"Well, I got a good look at them. There are four of them in total. But they aren't androids or anything. They actually look like your friends that died."
"What?'' I asked. It couldn't be. The Killjoys were dead. There was no way they could be the DESTROYAS.
"I've sent over some images of them." The pictures popped up on my screen. What I was exactly what Blu was saying. Four men, exactly like Party Poison, Fun Ghoul, Kobra Kid, and Jet Star, all dressed in black with white, BLI/Ind issued ray gun. They were Korse's new weapon of destruction.
"You've gotta be kidding me"
"I'm afraid not." Blu replied. "But, they haven't been used yet. And I managed to hack into the main frame at Better Living to get their plans non these exterminators. All biological material, no machinery in their bodies. Same DNA scans and everything. It's them alright."
"Well, I guess that means its time to get those pretty boys back."
"What agree you just gonna go in? Guns blazing?"
"Fuck yeah. I'm not letting them win''"Dr. D" I yelled, stepping into the radio room.
"Dolly Pop. Long time no see." Doctor Death Defying replied, Wheeling himself over me.
"Got some good news." I replied.
"Let it out"
"The boys are alive." Dr. D's happy face fell and he sighed.
"Grace put you up" he asked.
"Nope" I replied, handing over a large file. "These are pictures, plans, DNA patterns, everything on Better Living Industries new exterminators. Everything. Even the pictures of the boys in body bags. Pictures of them being revived, and rewired to work for Korse"
"I'm guessing you want to go in"
"Yes."
"I'll send out a transmission."
"Don't skip the static, tumbleweeds!" Dr. D said into his radio. "This is calling all available killjoys. We need you to help start a cycle! We are attacking! BL/Ind has struck us again by turning out our dearly departed Fabulous Killjoys into exterminators. So, pack up the lady, gather the rock blocks and operate on all pistons. Battery City is about to get ugly. KILLJOYS, MAKE SOME NOISE"
I had never seen so many people gather out side of Battery City. There were humorous cars, motorcycles, and even military tanks outside great wall. At least a couple hundred killjoys were there, ready to fight. The plan was, we invade the city. There were three of us going into the actual Better Living Industries. Blu, Grace, and I. Grace would be located inside the main frame room, where she would hack it on the computer system. If any dracs came in, she would ghost them(I had taught her how to use a ray gun, even though Dr. D informed me of Party Poison's dislike for that). Blu and I would make our way to around the building, hopefully finding then guys.
"Are you ready?" Show Pony asked. I looked back to Grace and Doctor Death Defying, who were sitting together in the van. I knew the best thing for her wasn't going into the building, not subjecting herself to danger. This was breaking every promised I had ever made to anyone in the last four years. But it's what we needed.
"As I'll ever be"
