Chapter 5:
Shadows
Shadows
“Sir, something is..uh, wrong. With Graid.” said a soldier who just got shot at by Graid. “What happned, trooper? Did she hurt you?” said Grey, aware of Graid’s odd behavior. “She was shooting at me with a Auto-Spike. One hit my hand. I luckily dodged the other spikes.” said the soldier. “I’ll get her stabilized. We don’t know for sure what’s happening. She stabbed a guard yesterday.” said Grey, who was calling the team in. They would no longer be called The Five. At least not for now.
[Quig POV]
I need to find Graid. She just killed three guards and a villager. She’s been acting quite strange lately. We need to lock her up and see what’s going on inside her corrupt head.
[Graid POV]
What’s wrong with me? What am I doing? I just killed people. Who have families. And children. Wait, I’m not going crazy. Everyone else is. I’m the only agent in the MDF that is sane.
Traax was at his palace waiting for his new minion, Shadow. Shadow was remarkably fast and could get inside people’s heads. His orders were to take a Mabu Dwarf Freak under his control. He did this when Graid was at the ruins of a village. “Where is he!” shouted Traax, in a darkly voice. “I don’t know, Lord Traax.” said the worried servant, Cobbler. Cobbler was an idiot who was deceived by Traax and firced to work for him. Cobbler was friends with Snuckles and Blobbers, but they left him when he joined the mad villain. Traax was about to send in a horde of Chompies, but they were too easy to fight. So he sent them
to his missile testing area and killed the poor beasts.
“We found Graid!” yelled Chrome. He had to shoot at her. But she was awfully fast and agile. She found the guards on the roof and killed all twelve of them. That brought the death count to thirty-three. “Why is she doing this?!” asked Chomp. But then, out of nowhere, Chomp was shot in the eye. He was stabbed in the legs twice. “AHH!” screamed Chomp, slowly dying. He was going to bleed out. But before he passed out, he saw Graid’s eyes. And they were pitch black.
“Wake up!” yelled a medic. Chomp was fully aware of what happened. He knew he didn’t die, but is life was hanging by a thread. “We used the Healing Elixir. Who knew it actually works. And it tastes like Mountain Dew.” said another medic. Chomp wanted to say something. But he couldn’t. He wanted to say thank you to the medics. “Graid has been captured.” said Quig. Quig stood by Chomp’s side the whole time. And that was three days. The two had become good friends over the past couple weeks. Two weeks ago they were strangers. Now they’re comrades in the battle against Traax. “You’ve been out for quite a while.” said Quig. “Mmn. Ung. Tmm.” mumbled Chomp, who still couldn’t speak. “Graid’s locked up in Yard C. But it’s not her fault. A man named Shadow has taken over her body. He works for Traax and has been near the base for four days now.” said Quig, who was telling Chomp the news. Starr walked in with Jags. “Jags has been assigned temporarily to be in The Five. If she does a good job, she’ll replace Graid.” said Starr. Starr had been shot at as well, but wasn’t hurt. She was perfectly fine. “I’m glad I’m in right now. It’s so exciting!” said Jags in a happy tone of voice.
Traax looked at Cobbler and said “We need to get Shadow back. I know I made him with black magic, but I don’t want to take time to make another.” “Yes sir.” said Cobbler, who wasn’t listening to his master. Shadow arrived at the door. “Come in.” said Traax, “We could use your help.” “Sorry sir, but I might have failed. I took over agent Graid, who is part of The Five, and nearly killed her and Chomp. I also managed to kill thirty seven soldiers and guards. Is that good enough?” asked Shadow. “It was fine. This is just the beginning of the destruction of the MDF.”
[b] Now I have something to say:
I know there are a lot of new stories and authors. So I would like to take charge of the Writers Club. I will start a new topic in the Fan Fiction section. Every author that has stories will be included in the page. Tell me what you think about that!
