Cyrus Noble Chapter 26

I dropped down to see my guys taking the offensive. Magnet made two of the Drones smash together. Longarm actually wrapped his arm around one and made it go flying into one that was coming his way. Megan flew up and kicked one into the wall, causing it to be blown to bits. Jazz had her staff out. It was a thick handle that shot out a rod out in both ends. She swung it as a drone was flying right at her. The drone was hit and went flying out and over the wall. "Home-run!" I yelled. She looked at me and smiled a little. Then she looked scared. "Cyrus! Look-" I was hit in the back and fell to one knee and my hands. "-out." Jazz finished. I got back up as the burns on my back healed over. The Drone was flying right at me. I said, "Get ready to start hot-wiring. I'll be right back." I jumped onto the Drone and held on tight. After getting on top of it, I tilted it to the right again as it was going up. I caught a flash of a huge bird flying by. I dropped with the Drone and spun to the ground. I somehow got it to glide and skid to a stop. I yelled over at Magnet. "Bud! Hold him down!" Magnet had it facing a wall. Jazz popped his head open and went to work. I looked over my shoulder to see Viktor and Sara hiding behind a vending machine. I looked over to Jazz just in time to see her slap down the little hatch. She said, "Done. Let him go Magnet." Magnet let his arms down, and the Drone turned around and eyeballed us. Then it looked at the other Drones in the sky. There must have been four left. The Drone flew up and shot down a Drone. The other Drones looked at it, as if in astonishment. Megan grabbed one of them by it's guns and ripped them off. Then she kicked it out of sight. Jazz threw a knife from behind me and it stuck to one of the last drones. I should have known better, thinking it was a knife; because I heard a high pitch screaming, followed by an explosion that took out the last two Drones. Magnet pumped the air with his fist. "Yeah! That'll teach them to mess with us!" Megan landed and tucked her wings. She exclaimed, "Go R2-D2!" The Drone whirred around, purring almost as if it were a pet. Viktor and Sara came out from hiding. Sara ran up to me and said, "Cyrus! We got more trouble!" I said, "I know. Let's get outta here before the boys in blue get a spine and....." Sara stamped her foot and said, "No! It's not that! There's-" "Freeze!" We spun around to see the female cop holding a gun at us, backed up by several other cops. The female continued, "Hands where we can see them! All of you! Right now!" How's that for gratitude? I didn't get a chance to dog her out, because a helicopter was getting close to the ground. It wasn't landing though; the back door opened. I could see Dr. Ching standing there, holding to the side of the door. When he saw me he grinned wickedly and, I'm not making this up, started laughing like a megalomaniac. Two men ran out of the chopper and dropped to the ground without so much as a word. The first one was huge. He had robot legs and a robotic left arm. The hand was a claw with four talons. He looked up at me, and I saw that he had a mechanical headpiece covering his eye. He was at least seven foot. The second guy was barely six foot. He had a similar looking headpiece, and a robot right arm. They both stood up straight, and started to walk towards us as the helicopter flew away. Jazz said beside me, "What the heck are those two supposed to be?" I suddenly got a headache. "Ah. Ow. They're the Gemini Project. Two soldiers that are supposed to have the same thoughts at the same time." Jazz looked over at me in question. I shook my head to say that I didn't have a clue on how I knew that. The smaller of the two held out his robotic arm, and it flipped into itself, switching places with a gun muzzle. Then he aimed it smack on us.
