Chapter Twenty-Four
~Rhys' POV~
Kroger was about to stab Fiona but the stranger grabbed him from behind by his neck.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" I panic. The man breaks Kroger's neck and he falls on Fiona. We all go silent until the bandit gets up. He sticks his hand up.
"The hell is he doing?" I ask.
"I don't know. Maybe he has a question," Fiona said. Then, three red dots appeared. One was on each of us.
"Ha ha ha ha... Great. A firing squad. I just hit murder bingo!" I shout. Then all the dots were on the stranger. We heard a loud noise and turned around.
"What the hell is that?" Fiona asked.
"It's a cyborg. Where did they get one?!" I asked.
"So awesome," Fiona said and grinned. The female cyborg yanked Kroger's knife out of the floor and approached us. The stranger was still facing the bandit. He dropped his gun and the bandit kicked him and tied his hands behind his back.
The cyborg handed the knife to the bandit as he approached Fiona. No one even spoke as he kept getting closer and closer. Then he cut Fiona free. He passed the knife over to the cyborg and she set me free. The silence dragged on for minutes which felt like hours. I want to know who these two are.
"Alright, laser pointers off," the bandit said.
"Laser pointers?" Fiona said.
"Yeah. The children of Helios try to avoid confrontation and guns," the bandit said as he removed his masked and revealed himself.
"Vaughn?" I mutter. I grab him in a hug and he hugs back.
"I thought I lost you, buddy," I said. Fiona also gave Vaughn a hug.
"Me too. Oh, and there's someone else you've probably been dying to see." Vaughn looked at the cyborg.
"Wait, do we know this person?" Fiona asked.
"Very well. Rhys knows her better than all of us," Vaughn grinned. The cyborg started transforming into a human.
~Chase's POV~
"How?" Rhys stares at me in shock.
"Man, you two get into trouble in the weirdest ways, you know that?" I put my hands on my hips.
"Chase...." Rhys muttered my name. I smile at him. Rhys runs to me and hugs me to death. I immediately hug him back. Then he suddenly kissed me. When Vaughn clears his throat, Rhys stopped kissing me.
"Jack said you were dead," he said.
"Well, I was almost dead when Vaughn found me. When I launched the pod, LB and I headed back to the core. I inputted a virus which caused Jack to glitch out and not be able to transfer to any other computer or cybernetics on Helios. Once we were done, a hole ripped in the side and I was sucked out. Luckily, I was able to use my cybernetic body to survive. After floating in space for a couple of days, my body was caught in Pandora's gravitational pull. I crashed on Pandora right where Vaughn and The Children of Helios now reside."
"We saw something falling and it crashed in front of the remains of Helios. I thought it was a cyborg prototype at first. When we brought it in, the cyborg suddenly changed to Chase. We fixed up her human self and her cyborg body," Vaughn said. Rhys was still hugging me tightly. After a few seconds, he relaxes and we both fall to our knees.
"R-Rhys...you're making it....hard to...breathe...." I manage to get out my words. He lets me go and chuckles lightly.
"Let's get out of here. This place isn't safe," Vaughn said.
