Enchanted
Retreat
[b][u]Party Poison’s POV[/u][/b]
I kept my eyes focused on the Dracs rather than the other person behind us; I knew it wouldn’t be a Drac because the mysterious laser beams were [i]shooting down[/i] the Dracs. After a few minutes when most of them weren’t as close, I stood up – still holding Ghoul – and Show Pony’s voice whispered in my ear.
“Quick, get to the van and put Ghoul inside!” He quickly said, continuing to shoot down the Dracs. I nodded, then carefully but quickly put Ghoul over my shoulder and ran; looking behind myself every now and again just in case one of them had a clear shot of us as I ran up the hill.
“Jeez, Ghoul... How much Power Pup did you eat this morning...?” I asked to the limp body in my arms; He weighed a lot more than I thought he would!
As I reached the van, I looked around us before sliding the door open, and then unfolded the wheelchair and sat him in it. I sighed as I sat down in the shade of the van and took off my yellow mask to let the cool breeze get to my face.
[b][u]Kobra Kid’s POV[/u][/b]
I watched as my older brother carried Ghoul away to the top of the hill while Pony joined us, and I slowly made my way over to him whilst shooting any Dracs I could get to.
“Hey Kid,” Pony started as I drew nearer to him, “We’re gonna make a runner; do you want to go and see if Party’s ready?” He asked, and I nodded.
“Sure, when you hear the Trans Am and the van starting up, come on up. We’ll have to shoot the rest if they follow.” I explained, and Pony quickly put a thumb up to me before I darted for the hill. There weren’t many Dracs anymore, but there were still some appearing every now and again.
When I reached the van and the Trans Am, I saw Party led next to the wheelchair that Ghoul was slumped in. He had his hands on his face, and his mask was on the floor next to him.
“Party?” I asked, and he slowly removed his hands and sat up to face up. “We’re leaving now; we have to start the engines so Pony and Jet knows that we’re leaving.” I informed him, and he nodded before standing up and moving to the front of the van to start the engine.
“Tell me when you’re ready to start the Trans Am,” He said, “It’ll be louder if we started them at the same time.”
“Alright,” I said, running over to the muddy car and climbing in the driver’s seat. “Ready!” I called, and we both started the engines. I looked back to see Party get back into the back of the van, and then I looked in the way of the edge of the hill.
[b][u]Jet Star’s POV[/u][/b]
As Kid made his way up the hill; I didn’t turn around until Pony called me. I glanced around quickly at him, and he put one of his hands to his ears to tell me to listen out for something. [i]But for what?[/i]
I nodded when I got the message, and then turned back around to shoot more Dracs. Suddenly I heard two engines starting up at the top of the hill, and then Pony’s voice calling out to me.
“C’mon Jet, that’s our cue!” Pony exclaimed, shooting as many Dracs as he could before running up to the top of the hill. I followed by running backwards for a little whilst shooting anyone who followed us, and when I was at the top of the hill I jumped into the Trans Am with Kid.
“Go!” Pony shouted as he got into the driver’s seat in the van, and in a matter of seconds both the Trans Am and the white mud-stained van where speeding down the long road leading out of Zone 4 and towards Zone 5.
“That was a lucky escape,” Kid stated, looking up and into the mirror above and between our heads.
“Well, at least they aren’t following us.” I sighed, looking into the side mirror before slumping down into my seat.
“Yeah, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up!” He laughed a little, and I laughed too; we always seemed to have Dracs follow us back to the Diner.
[b][u]Party Poison’s POV[/u][/b]
I sat with Ghoul in the back of the van as Pony sped through Zone 4, and most of the time I had to practically stop Ghoul from falling out of the wheelchair as we drove over bumps and rocks in the road by standing over him and holding him in the chair.
“Hey, can you learn how to drive?!” I scowled at Pony, and he just laughed in response.
“Oh, and now you’re the police?” He asked sarcastically, and I rolled my eyes. “C’mon Party, the faster we get there the faster he’s gonna get help.” He pointed out, but I just sighed.
“[i]If[/i] we ever get there; your driving is terrible!” I replied, and Pony shook his head and continued driving. A few moments later I sighed, and then slumped back into my own seat, and Pony looked back at me through the mirror that was above his head.
“You alright back there?” He asked, and I nodded a little, even though I knew he couldn’t see me as he laid his eyes back onto the road.
“Just worried, that’s all...” I murmured, “How long will it take to get to the Diner now...?”
“Not long.” He blankly replied, and I frowned.
“And how long is that...?”
“Literally about 2 minutes, geez...” He joked, and I smiled a little.
The rest of the journey was in silence, and I couldn’t help but watch Ghoul as he slept. He looked so peaceful, but at the same time; in a lot of pain. I reached out my hand to gently stroke his cheek with the back of my hand, but suddenly a large beam of light broke out as the door opened, and Kid jumped in.
“Hey bro,” He said, and I jumped.
“Geez man,” I laughed a little, and for some reason I felt my face get a little hot...
“Sorry.” He laughed too, and then made his way over to the wheelchair.
“I-It’s alright, Kid... I’ll take him in.” I said a little nervously, and he just shrugged and walked back out of the van.
I kept my eyes focused on the Dracs rather than the other person behind us; I knew it wouldn’t be a Drac because the mysterious laser beams were [i]shooting down[/i] the Dracs.
