Alliances Formed Chapter 9

The chase continued for another twenty minutes before they ended up in another ally. Cornered, the killer turned to fight. Pulling an alien gun, he fired at Flashjack, who dove out of the way and fired a Blue Lightning Blast that caught his foe in the chest, knocking him back. Charging after him, Flashjack landed a series of kicks and punches that would have easily knocked out the world's best boxer, but it did not even faze the killer, who knocked the young hero to the other end of the ally with one punch.

Getting to his feet, Flashjack let loose a fully charged optic blast, which hit the killer in the shoulder. Rushing forward, he began to hit his foe as hard as he could, knocking him into the back wall of the ally.

High above the two combatants, a young thief, hiding from the cops on top of the building, watched the battle, amazed at the power the two foes had.

Firing another Blue Lightning Blast, Flashjack knocked off a small part of his foe's armor. Taking advantage of the killer’s disorientation, he drew his Lightning Bow, aimed, and fired an arrow at his foe. Lodging in the killer's body, the arrow had hit the heart, but it did not kill the Slayer. That is, not until it exploded, destroying his internal organs, killing him instantly.

Hearing a noise, Flashjack quickly turned around, thinking someone had seen him. Seeing no one there, he decided to check just in case. While he was gone, the thief climbed off of the roof and walked over to the body. While the person inside was obviously dead, the armor was miraculously undamaged. Looking at the armor in amazement, he saw something else. A large gem in the center of the chest plate.
As he picked it up, the gem started to glow. Hearing Flashjack heading back in his direction, he made a choice that would change his life. Putting the gem in his duffle bag, he climbed back on to the roof and ran.

Returning to the killer's body, Flashjack was amazed to see that it had changed. The armor was gone and in its place was the body of tall, red alien. Wondering about this, he walked away, trying to figure out where he was and how to get home.
