We were running to the escape pods I saw three left. Two just closed. One showed Jazz now struggling to get out. ".....I don't care! I'm not leaving without Cyrus!" I met up with her and she softened. "Jazz, take her." I dropped Sara in her arms. I saw behind her the tall kid, Viktor, Magnet, Zero, and three of the soldiers that came with us. "There's room for one more." Said the captain. I turned to Gabe. "Get in kid, I'll find another way out." Jazz reached out. "Cyrus! No!" I grabbed her hand. "Hey, don't worry. I'll be right behind you." She didn't look convinced, so I pulled her toward me and gave her a quick kiss.
Gabe got in and I shut the door behind him. I watched as the pods shot out to the air, wings popped out of them and they glided until they hit the ground. All right, time to make my escape. "Hello, Cyrus." I turned to see Longarm. He had about a billion arms dragging behind him and a nose that looked like it just finished a blood-gusher. I chuckled. "You look like crap, dude." He spat. "You have your winged little brat, to thank for that." Megan did this? "Sounds like she's over you, huh?" He gave me a questioning look. "What's that suppossed to--" I pulled out my magnum, and shot his stomach.
"Smell you around, Longarm......or not." I entered one of the last remaining pods and hit the release button. After I hit the ground I exited and regrouped with the others. There was a head missing. "Hey. Hey, Zero. Where's Omega?" He gave me a sad look, glanced at the machine, and hid his eyes behind his hair. Oh, no.
Meanwhile.........
Omega could feel the machine stop its rthym in movement, it almost made her fall over. She heard the Booming Voice of Talos. "TARGET SELECTED: WASHINGTON D.C. PREPARING WEAPON." The Cannon shifted. He pumped the Cannon. She saw the bomb coming at her, building up speed as it went. She unleashed the energy that she cradled with her. She hit the center of it, setting it off.
The cannon filled with fire. This is the end of Omega.
The outside of it wasn't much better. The explosion quickly hit the energy core, and the whole thing turned into the world's biggest set of fireworks. Cyrus and the others got in the pods to shield themselves from the blast. Ounce the blast was cleared, they exited.
Cyrus lowered his head. He should be happy. We won, but at the price of a good friend. May she always be remembered. Sara held my hand with her tiny one, Jazz took my other hand.
We got many trials ahead of us, but we'll get though every one of them. As long as you got a family, and friends to back you up, wherever you are.
THE END
