Kharon Part 65

Kharon Chapter 65

         Emma, Sparky, and Jacob are running up a hill.  Once on top they stop and look out onto the ocean.  They see Johhny’s ship and the Kharon sailing away.  “What the fuck?!  They’re ditching us!”, exclaims Jacob.

        “It must be that friend of The Mist stealing the Kharon.”

        “Speaking of The Mist”, says Jacob as he turns and looks behind them.  The samurais and The Mist are catching up to them.  Jacob, Emma, and Sparky start running again.  

        Jacob suddenly stops at a bar where people are drinking out of large steel keg like drums.  “What’s the matter?”, asks Emma.

        Jacob eyes the kegs and examines them.  “I might have an idea if you think you can take out her thugs.”

        Emma spots a shovel leaning against the wall of the tavern and smirks.  

       The samurais reach the tavern and look around for the people they are pursuing.  Emma then sneaks up behind one and swings the shovel smacking him on the head and knocking him out cold.  She then whirls around and smacks another samurai before he can react.  She is then charged by a third samurai.  But she dodges out of the way at the last minute and trips him with the shovel sending him crashing to the ground.  The fourth samurai tries to swing his sword at Emma but she block it with the shovel.  She then jabs the end of the shovel into his gut and he hunches over in pain.  Emma swings down the shovel onto his head.  The third samurai gets up trying to recover but Emma smacks him in the face sending a cracking sound ringing through the air.

        The Mist then coalesces into human form in front of Emma.  “You may have gotten lucky with my minions but it will take more than luck to defeat me.”

        “I know that’s why I got this.”  With that Emma drops the shovel and unsheathes her crossbow and fires it at The Mist.  The Mist dissipates into a vapor to let the arrows pass through her but just as she does this Jacob springs up from his hiding place and fires his wind tunnel gun.  The Mist having not yet re-solidified is blown into a steel drum.  Emma slams the lid on it and screws it in tight before The Mist can escape.  

        The Mist now trapped screams, “Let me out this instant!”

        Emma then picks up Sparky and places him on top of the metal container. Sparky lets out an electric bolt that shocks The Mist through the container.  

        Jacob then says, “Alright lets evaluate this situation.  We want off this island and you want out of there.  So what’s say you and I make a deal.”
