'If the coordinates are right then we should be 50 metres away from the village we have to go to' states the Reaper.
'Lead on fellow lead on' says McKinley.
The two of them weave their way through the small alley ways between the houses. They try to stay away from the roads as much as possible. Near the outskirt of the town in a small courtyard there is a commotion.
The Reaper stops and pulls out his binoculars.
'Crocoserpents. This is not good for us' says the Reaper.
'What the hell are Croco-whatever-they-are?'
'Well these are mutants created by certain science experiments done in the kingdom of Krux. They are part snake and part crocodile infused into a human being' says the Reaper.
'Woah you have got to be kidding me' replies McKinley. 'But they're just creatures. We should be able to take them on easily right?'
'They are the worst of the enemies we've met so far. They are extremely smart, fast and powerful. They are fantastic shooters and can kill with a bite, a scratch or a swing of their tail. They were created by this guy called Icabard Shredder. The King of Krux's faithful scientist. The shape shifters we met in Scotland are part of his army as well. They are children of his union with Veyrona.'
'Well I'll be damned. So it is true that the zombies and the shapeshifters are together.'
'Yes McKinley. They were united long back when Krux married Veyrona. It was the only way they could defeat the Kryptos.'
'You mean you guys have been beaten before?' Says McKinley rather surprised.
'Yes. But they din't count on the Librarian stopping them in their tracks. That's why the five of us are so loyal to her. These five girls we are saving are going to be the ones that bring the Kryptos back and restore harmony to this planet.'
'Can I join the Kryptos?'
'That's for the Librarian to decide.'
'Well I better prove my worth now. Let's go and raise a ruckus' says McKinley all geared up.
Just then McKinley sees something move from the corner of his eye and before he could react the Reaper jumps at McKinley knocks him to the ground while drawing his gun and firing.
The Reaper then stands up properly and offers McKinley his hand and helps him to his feet. McKinley turns and sees the crumpled body of a crocoserpent.
'Thanks Reaper.'
'All part of being a team. Now pay attention to your surrounding. It's going to be tough getting this kid. It looks like they are still searching for her.'
'No they've got her look' says McKinley pointing at 5 crocoserpents quietly peeling away from the group. The rest of them start to disperse.
'McKinley looks like they're preparing for a setup. Here's what I need you to do. I'm going after those five with the girl. I need you to create a diversion. I need 2 minutes to catch up with them. Your diversion needs to stop those five and give me a chance to take the baby. You think you can do that?'
'That should not be a problem at all.' McKinley runs off into the courtyard grabbing a small circular object from the Reaper as he runs past.
The Reaper starts silently catching up with the five who have peeled away. He is almost on them when. Boooooommmmm
McKinley in the mean time had gotten into the courtyard and drawn all the attention to himself. The crocoserpents on seeing him start to converge onto him. McKinley pulls out a second object along with the circular object he took from the Reaper. He flings the circular object and just as the crocoserpents are about to reach him a flash of light appears and Boooooommmmm...
The five crocoserpents stop at the sound and turn just as 5 shots of lazer are fired knocking all 5 down. The Reaper runs to the baby and just as he's about to take the baby from the dead crocoserpent he hears a sound followed by a gurgling sound. He turns around to see McKinley with his FX trained at a crocoserpent who had a gun pointed at the Reaper.
'That was a close one wouldn't you say?' Says McKinley chuckling.
'Nice work McKinley. Good timing.'
He takes an object out of his pocket. 'Damn I love these mind controlled transporters.'
