Bubba Joe's voice rang clear over the sound of the snapping
gators and lowering chair. "Come here and face me!"
"Didn't I already kick your ass once today?"
He roared his response.
"Clockwork, what's the eta on that back up?"
"Five minutes. The force field is down and if you've
got Bubba Joe, then everything is clear."
Smoque picked the heiress and flew her to the pipe she used
to get in the hideout.
"Hang here for a bit. I've got three minutes to play
and two to get us out of here."
"Why can't we wait for your back up?"
"Because I promised your mother I would bring back safe
and sound myself. And you need to be seen my specialist. We don't know what's
in your system. You could be dangerous."
She looked scared as she crouched in the pipe.
"You'll be fine." I patted her hand and went back
down to Bubba.
"Are you really in that much of a hurry to be my new
purse and shoes?"
"You cheated. First with guns. Then you blew me up.
Then 'lectrocuted me. That wasn't nice."
"Neither is kidnapping an heiress."
"But she's special. Got the right blood. Big Mama got
big plans for her."
"And she has her own plans. Just like my plans involve
beating the stuffing out of you again."
He roared and lunged at her.
Claws and teeth were all she saw. `The smart thing to do is
to fly straight up so he misses me entirely, falling into the waters below for
a family reunion. But I don't want him to be able to escape before Bermuda gets here to safely secure him and Mama.´ She
thought as she was hit with 475 pounds of man-gator. They wrestled in the air for a moment. Which consisted of Smoque dodging teeth and claws while not dropping the monster into the water. In a fluid motion she pushed him away from herself and punched him upwards. He flew up and hit the glass ceiling, causing it to splinter and crack. He came down a she put him back on the ceiling. She wanted to flood the place. Let Big Mama Marsh's twisted experiment be buried underwater. Mama was still unconscious and encase in a chunk of dry ice. Once Bubba joined her in sweet oblivion, tying them together and dragging them behind her wold be easy. Or so she thought. Bubba Joe is hard to knock out without shooting him.
He fell down to her limp, and as he went to catch him, his jaw clamped down on her shoulder. She cried out. Giant teeth hurt and she was angry for not being positive he was out. She pulled her knife out of her
boot and stabbed him in his left eye then yanked down. When he released her,
she slashed open his chest, then kicked him into the wall where he rolled down
and landed next to Big Mama.
Bubba Joe hitting the wall caused the entire building to
shake. The cracked glass couldn't take the pressure anymore, and water exploded
down all over the lair. She heard Ambrosia scream and turned to check on her.
She was just surprised. This girl was going to need to get it together real quick.
The worst isn't over for her yet. As far as Smoque could tell the young woman
hadn't looked at any part of her body yet.
"Hold on! I'm coming for you!"
She raced down to the reptiles first. No sense in letting
them wake up and get away because Ambrosia was safe but freaking out. She
ripped out some of the copper wiring from when Big Mama crashed into the
computers and wrapped them around Bubba Joe's massive jaws. Then hog tied him.
The water was rising fast and she still need to get them tied to her body. She
saw a coil of what she thought was rope lying on the ground. That is until it
lunged at her. She whirled out of the way of the python's jaws, which was a lot
harder to do with all the swamp water flowing in and reacting with the dry ice.
So it was crackling and shooting out everywhere. Smoque grabbed the tail of the
snake a whipped it hard on the ground. She wasn't sure if she killed it but it
would do until she got Big Mama Marsh and Bubba Joe tied up.
"Help!"
"Clockwork, where is Bermuda?!"
All she got was static, in response, luckily she saw zip
lines fall into the hole and four heavily geared agents slid down.
They stopped short of the rising water an electrified box
between them.
"Where's the hostage?" one of the asked.
I pointed to the pipe. "I'm taking her home to her
mother." They had to shout over the sound of the water. "Those two
are all yours." She said gesturing to the subdued villains. "And be
careful! There are alligators and snakes in here".
They nodded and went to work. She flew back up to the pipe
and picked Ambrosia up. She wrapped her arms around Smoque's neck and as they
rose out of the flooded lair, she finally began to cry.
