Chapter 11
azuarc bounced around on his pogo stick happily. He had achieved great things with it already - well, as great as you could with a pogo stick anyway. He had managed to vault over several buildings. At once. His leaps were almost comically high and at one point Minio actually feared for her safety up in the sharp spoon.
Unfortunately his rather extreme method of travel had led to a lack of control in his movements. So when he passed ExThaNemesis in the street, the blades on the footpegs landed deep cuts on his legs shoulder - but by the time azuard had stopped and returned to where he was, ExTha had disappeared.
azuarc hopped there for a moment, looking around for him.
ExTha was stock still, fighting the urge to scream as his cuts bled profusely. He was hiding behind a nearby fire hydrant and did not even have to crouch to achieve that.
azuarc hopped up and down for a while - ExTha could hear the springing of the pogo stick as it bounced up and down - but ExTha managed to stay concealed and eventually azuarc left.
He had hopped for only a few seconds down the street - which actually corresponded to about 10 blocks - when the base of the pogo stick was shot. azuarc had learnt his lesson and stopped quicker this time, spinning around.
Speedyoshi was standing there, his Golden Guns in hand.
"It was foolish to challenge me," said azuarc, landing near him. "I can hop over several things. Except for your MOTHER. YEAAAHHH-OH S***"
SpeedYoshi had wordlessly taken a shot at him, and another. One missed and the other hit the pogo stick's central bar and deflected away, missing him narrowly. azuarc turned and tried to flee. He was in mid-jump, narrowly avoiding another shot from SpeedYoshi, when suddenly a missile hit him in the face and he utterly exploded into several little azuarcs, who then also exploded while ranking VG Music.
"heheheh. Well done, Charles," said Caelus, petting his cybernetic war-elk. The elk nodded and Caelus took a quick swig of the whiskey from the elk's attached mini-fridge. On the sharp spoon, Comm scowled and Minio scratched him multiple times for his transgression while forcing him to lose to her at Backgammon.
Speedyoshi quickly changed targets and began firing at the War Elk, which was on a balcony a couple of floors up from street level. Caelus smirked and simply commanded Charles to fire more missiles at SpeedYoshi, who turned and ran while firing behind him randomly.
He was able to hit and destroy a couple of the missiles. Sadly, though, RX7InfinitiIII was hobbling down the street, trying desperately to chase Wedge Antilles, despite his sprained ankle. He had recently seen the would-be X-Wing Pilot and was stalking him, hoping for another easy kill even with his injury. Sadly, Wedge had sensed his presence already and Portal'd out of there. If only RX7 had realized that. If only he had the sense of a true assassin. He might have abandoned the chase that was now going to KILL HIM as one of the stray bullets hit him in the ear. It bounced around in his head for a bit before he keeled over, dead.
SpeedYoshi had managed to escape all the missiles through a combination of luck and great accuracy with his guns. He dove into the nearest building - a department store - and ran to the top floor, trying to put as much distance between himself and the crazy war-elk as possible.
Caelus just sighed, arrogantly petting Charles. "Ah well," said Saylus. "We'll get him next time. WAR-ELK AWAY!" he shouted as the Elk took flight using its...rocket boosters I guess. He flew into the proverbial sunset, looking for somebody else to kill while firing missiles and lazers for no other reason than the fact it amused him. Sadly these destroyed Maniac's firetruck. "TATYAAAAAAAAAAN!" screamed Maniac's ghost.
