Chapter 17: Freedom City's Wrath
Part 2: The Shocking Truth
Dokuro's secret is out--he isn't the true Malice. After he sent his skeleton army after them, they ran for it. Whirlwind fired off an air sphere at some of the skeleton's, and they broke apart. But a bunch और kept coming for them, armed with swords.
"I don't think both of us can fight them all off, Whirl! We need to find Duji....and fast!"
Whirlwind agreed and kept on running away from the skeleton arm ay. Whirlwind grabed Jackson's hand and flew off deeper into the city. Whirlwind looked down at Jackson and asked, "About Duji...where IS he? Shouldn't he be with you?"
"He was, but he and I विभाजित करें, विभक्त करें up when he went off to face the citizen's solo.....I hope he's alright," Jackson added.
While they were on their way towards Shock, Shock and मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक were still face-to-face with the citizen's. They hid under a car, trying to stay clear of the wrath of the citizen's. It was quiet. Both Shock and मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक listened for any sounds of the citizen's talking या preparing to आग again, but nothing was hard through the dead, cool air.
"OK, why haven't they आग at us yet?" asked Drake.
"How should I know, Drake? या whatever your name is...." Shock asked back, somehwat irritated.
He peeked his head out from beneath the car and looked around for any sign of them. He looked at the nearby buildings, and he saw that the poeple has seemingly vanished. He looked back to Shock and said, "I believe the coast is clear, kid."
He grabbed Shock hand as he got up from under the car and stood back up. They looked around for anymore signs of the citizens.
"It's quiet. And we all know that when things get quiet, all hell breaks loose..." Shock
मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक continued to look around and said, "Exactly...which is why I'm calling for backup. I'm sure they'll come, but I need to be sure they get here before--"
मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक was cut off suddenly, when they both saw bullets flying at them. It didn't take long for them to notice the citizen's running towards them. मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक fired off several shots, while running away from the scene. He got a few of them, but wan't enough to stop the riot.
"Come on! We need to get आप outta here!" मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक screamed out.
Shock shook his head and formed electricity around himself, also making himself hover into the air.
"No....I'm gona take them ALL on!" he shouted back, having his eyes focused on them.
"Fine, then I'll be back with back up!" मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक called out, before officially leaving.
With one last effort to stand against the city, he flew off after them, firing off massive electrical bolts. One person was hit, while another jumped आगे to stab Shock with a knife. He quickly grabbed the guys hand and electrocuted him, then swung him around using his electrical whip, and slammed him into two other people. Another person tackled him down and they both rolled around on the street. When they stopped, Shock kicked the guy off him and stood back up. He then flew after him, and was ready to electrocute him. But before he could get to him, someone else nearby caused a peice of the concrete below him to come up and hit him. The impact sent Shock flying up higher, and hurt like hell. he fell back down to the सड़क, स्ट्रीट hard--with scrapes and scratches all over him. He got up, but was sore from impact.
"Damn you...." he called out.
Just as Shock charged toward the remaining citizen's, several police cars drove into the scene--one of them driving in between Shock and the others. Drake, along with other cops, got outta thier cars.
"OK, everyone, get back to your homes! This riot ends now!" मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक shouted, ready to use his gun if this gets ugly.
One officer came over to Shock and saying, "We need to leave...if आप come with us, you'll be safe."
"NO! I'm finishing what I started!" he shouted back.
Tyson, with a few other mobians, came up and appraoched Drake.
"We're not going anywhere til that kid is DEAD!" he yelled at Drake.
मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक aimed his gun at the remaining Mobian's, mostly towards Tyson. मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक had mixed emotions about shooting Tyson--but knew he may have to if Tyson kept this riot going.
"I never thought I would have to do this....I never did like you, but still..." मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक कहा to Tyson.
Tyson rolled his eyes and said, "Do आप think I care? Once I make that kid pay for this, I'll be outta your hair, COUSIN Drake..."
Shock heard that and then looked at Drake, asking, "You two are related?"
"Yeah...he's my सेकंड cousin. That doesn't matter now--Tyson? Get these people to go घर before this gets ugly! We got the 'criminal' under control," मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक told Tyson.
"Liar! आप idiots didn't do nothing...now WE will take a stand against that monster!" he shouted, while motioning the other mobian's to attack.
Out of pure reflex, he shot several bullets at the crowd as he ran.
"Go...GO! GET THE KID OUTTA HERE!" मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक screamed at one of the cops standing by.
Him and another cop quickly grabbed Shock as they ran for their cars. They got in as quick as they could and then drove off down the street, heading for the bridge. Ironically, at the सेकंड they drove off--Whirlwind and Jackson stopped them as they happened to walk by. It didn't take them long to notice the group of citezen's.
"Wait...if they're chasing after that police car, then Duji must be in it! We need to get to him before--" Jackson said, being cut off when seeing Dokuro.
Dokuro flew past them in air above them, making his way towards the police car Shock was in. Whirlwind grabbed Jackson's hand and flew after Dokuro. While driving, मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक happened to notice Dokuro flying past them.
"Isn't that him, Duji? You're...'master'?" he asked Duji, who sat in the back.
"It is! Wherever he's going, follow him!" he shouted.
With that, मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक drove faster, as he turned right down the सड़क, स्ट्रीट where Dokuro was heading. Several bullet sounds where heard hitting the car from behind them, as the angry mod chassing them was shooting at them. Shock rolled down the window and shot out multiple electrical blasts at them. Most of them where hit, while the others decided to back off for the moment.
"I got them to back off....now go get--" Shock said, but noticed that Dokuro was outta sight.
"What is it? Did he vanish?" asked Drake.
Shock nodded as he pointed towards that same old house that he saw before--the house that "Malice" told him to stay clear of. मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक stopped the car as he aproached the strange, creepy old house. They quickly got outta their cars and Shock went ahead of them, running up to the porch.
"Hey, whats wrong? Did he go inside या something?" मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक asked.
"Yes...I'm going inside..." he said, with a determind look.
After that, he opened the door and waisted no time going inside. मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक noticed Whirlwind and Jackson coming into the scene--Whirlwind lowering down to the front yard.
"Glad आप made it....your grandkid went inside after Malice," कहा Drake.
"Good...but we have some news: that guy isn't Malice! His name is Dokuro and he's not your regular Mobian...." Jackson called out.
मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक was a little shocked द्वारा the sudden news, but then motioned for the other officers that were with him to go inside.
"Let's worry about that later.....right now we need to catch this guy," he told Jackson.
As they went inside, Shock was already waking in the livingroom. The house was dead quiet--as it has been for the last 6 month. There were no furniture around, just a huge empty space. As he looked around the place, memories of that house came flooding back to him. he looked over at the section where there was once a couch, and he began to see a specific memory reply in his head. One of him and his parents watching TV. मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक and the others finally caught up to him. Jackson rushed over to Shock and was worried.
"Duji, are आप OK? Is he here?" he asked him.
He didn't quite hear him talking--he was toobusy thinking back. मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक came over to Jackson and said, "Wait...I think he's remembering..."
सेकंड्स later, Shock went up the stairs and down the hall. Jackson, मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक and Whirlwind all followed. Jackson looked at Whirlwind and asked, "What exacty are आप doing here? Are आप still after that Spectre guy?"
"Yes. Spectre कहा that him and Dokuro are planning to team up...." he added.
As they came up the hallway, मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक and a few other cops aimed their बंदूकों around the place.
"Shock? Are आप OK in here?" asked Drake, his voice echoing in the hall.
Shock was in his old room, looking around the place. He then saw another memeory reply in his mind as he looked at where his बिस्तर use to be. Thinking of these memories brought tears to his eyes as he silenty cried. Little did he know: Dokuro was watching him from inside a closet. The door was open, so he quietly stepped out into the empty room. Dokuro grinned maliciously as he saw what Shock was doing.
"Awww....is the lil कुत्ते का बच्चा, पिल्ला sad?" he asked him, clearly trying to taunt him.
He looked back and saw Dokuro standing there--he was angry.
"You lied to me, didn't you?" he asked Dokuro.
Dokuro rolled his eyes, though आप couldn't see it through his shades.
"Kid, we're way passed that now....so I'll just cut to the chase: I DID lie to you...." he announced.
Shock grew angrier and fired off some light bolts. Dokuro and jumped up and quickly flicked his wrists around, and started twisting Shock's bones.
"You....you कहा I had no family! आप कहा I was EVIL!" Shock screamed out.
While still holding Shock in his grip, he raised Shock's body in the air, saying, "Evil? Please....you were NEVER truely evil! I only made आप think it til I was done with you..."
Then he threw Shock across the room. Shock hit a nearby दीवार face first. Shock groaned in pain. He stood back up as Jackson and the other cops entered the room. They aimed their gun toward him.
"Put your hands up! I don't know what आप wanted with this kid, but it's over..." मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक कहा to him.
"Over? Far from it....wanna hear और of the truth, kid? आप DID have a family, but Malice killed them off 6 months ago," declared Dokuro.
When he heard that, he grey और angrier. And his teary eye's face was replaced with that of pure rage. Electricity circled around him. Jackson, मक्खी, ड्रैक, ड्रेक and Dokuro all backed away from him as this happened.
"Duji, I know you're probably in a of shock right now, but I want आप to know--" Jackson said, being cut off द्वारा Drake.
"Jackson, I think it's best we get outta here...." he said.
Then he got so angry, that his electricity became bright red flames. Shock didn't notice this of course, but the others did. At that moment, he officially remembered who he was and that Dokuro had lied the whole.
"You...you're gonna pay for this! For ever tinking आप could USE me like this!" he shouted, flames bursting from around him.
He made a loud scream and as he did so, a streem of आग burst from and went straight through the ceiling, making a huge hole. Dokuro knew this may end badly for him, so he flew out the window in a hurry. But Shock wasn't gonna let him off that easy. With आग still around him, he flew after Dokuro and smashed right into the wall, making another huge hole. Jackson rushed over to see if he could find out where Shock had went to. He looked upwards at the sky and saw him giving Dokuro hell. Shock, while still angry, made a firy sphere around himself and flew straight for Dokuro. He was coming on pretty damn fast, and Dokuro barely dodged it. He would attack with his bone-weapons but knew it was useless at this point. As he flew circles around him, he also shot out आग balls at Dokuro. He tried his best to dodge the attacks, but didn't do much good. Then had got an idea: he backed away some, and then started moving the बोन्स in Shock's arms while saying, "You think आप have me, don't you? Think again...."
He then made Shock push the button on that watch that he had दिया him a few hours ago. Afterwards he let go. Shock started to calm down some and gew confused. He heard beeping sounds from the watch and then saw a timer iluminate on the screen.
"What is this...? Why is it counting down?" he asked Dokuro.
"Considering it a birthday present form your master. Happy birthday, mutt!" shouted Dokuro, flying off.
He aw that the timer was counting down, and had 10 सेकंड्स left. He tried getting the watch off, but it wouldn't budge. He grew terrified, and didn't know what else to do. So as a last resort, he flew--WAYY up high as high as he could before it finally went off. The force of the blast still hit the city regardless, and poor Duji was cought at the center. But is this it? Is this the end of his journy?
