Cortney looks at the Munster-looking guy walking next to her. She was wearing her backpack with the jetpack attached. She had the Gauss rifle in her hands as they walked through the woods toward their destination.
“If you don’t mind me asking, how did you become like you are, or have you always been like you are?” Cortney looks at Frankie.
“I don’t mind you asking. If you don’t mind me asking how you got into this mess.” Frankie looks at the woman he had been paired up with.
“I don’t mind, but you first.” Cortney knew her explanation was the easiest.
“Fair enough. I was working at one of those hunted forest attractions that a local business put on for the community. I thought it would be neat to dress up as Herman Munster from the Munsters. My girlfriend dressed up as Lily Munster, and the two of us worked at the event. Well, a strange blueish fog surrounded the forest where we performed and changed all the actors into the creatures they were dressed as.”
“What do you mean, changed into the creatures they were dressed as?”
“Exactly what I said. Something about the fog turned everyone into what they were dressed as. If they were dressed as zombies, they turned into zombies, but with their intelligence still intact. If they were ghosts, they were turned into a ghost.”
“Oh, wow. I can see how that could be a huge disadvantage.” Cortney could see how that could fuck with someone.
“You don’t know the half of it. All the people that were dressed as mad doctors or mass murderers, started taking on the traits of their characters. Anyone that as a vampire, was turned into a vampire.”
“Let me guess, the vampires, Werewolves, and other dangerous characters in your show started turning on the others?”
“Yes, anyone that was normal or not dressed as a character was normal, somewhat. The fog did change them, but some did not as others.”
“What happened to your girlfriend?”
“I managed to subdue her and keep her safe. You wouldn’t believe the blood both and how many people died that night.”
“How did you team up with this group?” Cortney shivers thinking about what Frankie went through.
“I was recruited by the British government. They offered to find out what happened to me and my girlfriend, in exchange for me doing jobs for them.”
“So, your team was put together by the British government? Do they know what happened that night?”
“No, but did manage to capture some of the fog and is studying it. As for why I work with Mrs. Black? She saved my life and everyone else you met lives.”
“So, in return. You all decide to become mercs?”
“Pretty much. Now your turn.” Frankie looks at Cortney in her body armor.
Cortney tells Frankie about what happened to her and how Pat recruited them and trained them, how the other girls had been changed by a drug that turned men into women. As for Patricia, she tells Frankie what little she knows about her.
Mrs. Black and Patricia were approaching some soldiers from a different area. They had Kara and Doll-looking woman following them. Their job was to take out the Russian communication unit that had been brought in.
Patricia had taken over the unit and made it unable to transmit or received signals with her abilities. She looks at Mrs. Black and signals for her to do her thing. She watches as Mrs. Black moves past her and opens the door of the unit.
Mrs. Black moves past Patricia and opens the door to the communication unit. Before the guys inside the unit could respond, she knocks all of them out.
“It’s clear.” Mrs. Black sticks her head out of the unit and motions for Kara and Becky to come inside. She was tossing the men inside out.
Patricia gathers the men and secures them. She heard explosions going off in the distance. She looks in that direction and notices Jennifer and a gold suit that looked like a hawk warrior causing trouble for Russians in that area.
A smile forms beneath Patricia’s helmet as she watches the two-winged people fight.
While Patricia was doing that, Kara and Becky enter the communication unit and go to work. They were jamming all Russian frequencies and ordering the troops in the area to surrender.
“You know they aren’t going to do that.” Vera looks at Kara.
“I know, but let’s see how they withstand some of the toys Mrs. Blake sent to help us.” Kara remotely operates the drones that Mrs. Blake sent.
“Oh, can I play?” Becky wanted to play with the new toys.
“Sure.” Kara didn’t see any reason why she couldn’t.
Becky concentrates and sends her spirit towards one of the missile launcher units with a machine gun unit mounted on it. Kara watches as the doll slumps next to her.
“What the hell?” Kara looked puzzled.
“Becky can send her spirit out and take possession of any object for a short period of time. She has to come back to that doll afterward.”
“Why?” Patricia was curious.
“Let’s just say she was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.” Mrs. Black knew the whole story but didn’t feel it was her place to tell it.
“What happens if whatever she has possession of gets destroyed?” Kara was concerned for Becky.
“She can either move onto a new object or come back to her body. If she doesn’t return in time to her body. Her spirit will be lost.”
“Ouch! That has to suck.”
“It does for her.” Vera knew that Becky has only missed joining her body once. Luckily, she managed to take possession of an object to buy her time.
Up In the Air:
Jennifer and Kashif were up in the air and striking Russian soldiers down on the ground. Kashif was wearing a golden set of armor that made him look like the Egyptian God Horus. His wings were gold and expanded further out than Jennifer’s wings.
The problem was, he wasn’t as agile as she was and didn’t have control of elements like she did. He could direct laser-like beams down at their enemies or make spears appear and throw them at the Russians. On the other hand, she had lightning at her deposal or the weather itself to use.
She flies above him a few times “Your staff is impressive, but I’m the Thunder Hawk of my people, and the weather is mine to control.”
She causes lightning to strike a bunch of soldiers trying to launch a missile at them. The lightning dances around and strikes a few more Russians at the same time.
“How long have you been this Legendary Thunder Hawk?” Kashif was curious about this Native American woman.
“A short period of time. How long have you been a warrior of Horus?” Jennifer recognized the style of armor he was wearing.
“For years now.” Kashif still couldn’t get over the fact he had been chosen to wear the armor in Horus’s name.
“You’re going to have to tell me how you came about it.” Jennifer directs lightning down at some soldiers.
“Only, if you tell me more about yourself.” Kashif sends several spears toward the soldiers.
“Deal.”
In another part of the city, Jessica watches as the vampire woman she was teamed up with walks toward a bunch of soldiers. The bullets that they were firing at her, just bounced off her body. Every time the outfit the woman was wearing got damaged, it repairs itself.
“Damn!” Jessica couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
She watches as Drusilla grabs one man and snaps his neck like a chicken. She grabs another soldier and tosses him aside like he was a ragged doll. Jessica hits one guy with her staff and sends him flying to the ground.
She twirls her staff and hit a few more soldiers before they could fire at her. She sends a massive electrical shock toward them, stunning them into unconsciousness. She looks at Drusilla and notices she was looking around for more men.
“What, did we take all of them out?” Jessica was looking as well.
“No, there are a few more here but hiding. They are afraid, and I can smell the fear coming from them.” Drusilla could smell the fear in the air.
“Come out now, guys, and we won’t hurt you. If we have to find you, someone is going to get seriously hurt.” Jessica says this through the speaker system built into her helmet.
Several soldiers come out of their hiding spots and look at the two women. They toss their rifles down and hold their hands up. There were six of them.
“Now, I want you guys to handcuff one another and follow me and my friend. If you don’t I’ll let her have fun with you.”
An evil smile appears on Drusilla’s face, showing her pointed teeth. She wanted them to know she was a vampire.
