Chapter 4

The Gekko had stopped by a near by town in order to re-supply as their food was getting very low. Due to Foxy and Amy constant begging (more Amy then Foxy) Holland agreed to let them go with Talho and the others.

“Miss Talho what are those?” asked Amy.

“That would be a pineapple.”

“And these?”

“Those are bananas.”

“And these?”

“Those are coconuts. You’re full of questions today. Did your mother ever bring you into town?”

“No. She always did the shopping by herself. I think she said something about it being dangerous to us.”

“How can shopping be dangerous?”

Just then Amy put her hands up to her mouth. A greenish sustains was slowly flowing out from between her fingers.

“It hurts! Talho I want Mama!”

“Here” putting a tissue up to her mouth “I’ll wipe it clean and we’ll go back to the Gekko.”

“But Miss Talho…” but before she could answer Talho had but the tissue to her mouth. As it touched the greenish sustains the tissue started to hiss as it dissolved. Talho drew back in horror.

“What…what is that?” She said stuttering.

“It hurts! I want Mama!”

Fox was the first to hear this out cry.

“I see its happening again.”

“What’s happening again?”

“Her poison is over flowing. Her body can no longer hold it. It needs to be extracted. We must get her back to Mama.”

Just then Amy fell to the ground.

Just barely above a whisper was Amy weeping “It hurts…it hurts…” with tiers flowing from her eyes.

“I’ll carry her to Mama. Only thing you have to do is show me were the Gekko.”

“But what if that stuff falls on you?”

“My body will be fine. My cloths on the other hand will fall apart.”

With that said they hurried off to the Gekko.

On the Gekko Rukio had put some tubes onto Amy’s fangs. When the machine was up and running very one could see the poison flowing from the tubes into a large container.

Holland was the first to ask “What the heck is going on here?!”

Rukio was holding Amy who was blissfully asleep.

“I can’t tell you.”

“It’s alright. You can tell them” Said Foxy.

“But what if they tell the military? You’ll be on the run again.”

“I have listened to their thoughts and while their all here for their own reasons I know we can trust them.”

“Well if you say so. Know were to begin…”

“How about telling us about that stuff that you’re taking out of her.”

“That would be poison. Normally it would be injected into a victim to kill it but if it hits the air it will become an acid that will dissolve just about any material. Now that that is over I think I’ll begin with what they are. Misha you can join in at any time.”

Everyone but Holland replied “Misha knew about this?!”

“Does it really matter?”

“No” said Renton.

Just then someone went on the intercom.

“This is the Military. You have 5 minutes to surrender Gekkostate or you will be destroyed.”

“Jobs how long will it take to get the engines up and running?”

“10 minutes minimum.”

“Dam. Ready the LFO’s we need to buy some time.”

“That won’t be necessary.” Said Foxy her voice still seemed to have no emotions.

“But you can’t take them on. You’re still a child.” Said Holland.

“And yet you allow Renton and Eureka to pilot the Nirvash.”

“Yes but you don’t even have a LFO.”

“I don’t need one.” And with that she went off to the hanger.

“Someone stop her!” Yelled out Rukio.

“Talho keep the hanger closed until we get Foxy back here.”

“Yes Holland.”

“It won’t matter. She’ll get out.”

“And what happens if she does get out?” asked Eureka.

“Then god have mercy on their souls.”
