2072 porch pirates meet the Karens.

by Scarlet Sprite

Finally, it's something we can put our heart into. We're going to ground zero and after key fragments. All we hear is IREA!! BASE!! THE KEY!! I'm ready to go like never before. The magic stuff. Geno. All bush league. Great practice to get up to speed. This is the A team's mission. We're ready! Quiet like a church mouse we sit and listen to the mission brief.
 
The ride into the city sucks. Lfer takes us there in the truck. Hate sitting in the truck when we could ride. But we have cargo. A containment box. Something to hold the key energy fragments with. Crap. Shame we didn't have time to build a small trailer for Dragon, the supercycle. Who once again has been stripped down and souped up. It'll turn on a dime now. And we've had some time to practice riding too.
 
At the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument Park we see the first key sub fragment particles of energy. Ride over and stop. Honey Badger secures it into the containment box. Repeat. Oh no! Intangible man is racing toward a third key sub fragment particles of energy. "Hold on Honey Badger" we scream over the roar of the motor, and we race to the spot beating Intangible man. We secure the third key sub fragment particles of energy. Honey Badger even taunts him for his trouble. We second that!
 
With that the fight is on.
 
Can tell her heart isn't in this already. As she hops back onto my bike. She chops up anything and everything when it comes to Rollie and her boyfriend Woody. But even if she doesn't get this is for “The key”! We do! Honestly with our track record we can't blame her. But the stakes now are worth a fight. The Key is a hill I'm willing to die on! Time for some encouragement. “WE CAN WIN!” WE'RE GONNA WIN!” We scream. Whatever she thinks. Wither she likes it or not. The bike stops here. We're taking his box home as the trophy we've needed on our mantle.
 
Stood in awe as Honey Badger's claws did very little to Intangible man. Our strikes seem to do little. Perhaps he has some sort of absorbing padding. Maybe hitting him a few more times we can get past that. To the meat inside the shell? We knew then we had to fight to the finish. At least it seemed like we were landing and getting something through the suit. Must have been as he grabs the box and trys to fly off. With a great leap we're able to jump up and grab the box.
 
My human needs a boost up. All to happy to give her some altitude. She grabs the box. We add our pull to it. She wraps herself around it like a snake on prey. Our box human. It belongs to us!
 
Begin to tell him all about how this box belongs to Free Energy not you Rays. He says, “I'm not a Ray I'm Level 37.” We disregard it. Until we have more than his word, he is a Ray.
 
Then everything went black! -Scarlet and the Sprite
