Recap of Kharon for May 20-May 23
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.”
Kharon Chapter 66
Simone and Luke are in their cell sulking. “I’m sorry you never got to The Gardens”, says Simone.
“I thought you didn’t believe it was real?”
Simone shrugs. “I guess I just don’t believe there is a place I can be happy.”
“The Colony screwed you up that much?”
“I just never knew what I wanted out of life.”
“I know that feeling. That’s why I wanted The Gardens so bad. Thought it would be a place that would…be different.”
Just then they hear fighting sounds and grunts coming from outside their cell. “You don’t think….”
“Na he would never risk his neck for me.” They then both look at each other as they hear the buzz of electricity. Jacob springs into the room and uses his wind tunnel gun to blow against the guards who try and attack him. Emma then fires her crossbow at them and they go down hard. Jacob grabs the keys off them and frees Simone and Luke.
“How did you find us?”
“A new friend we made got us a powerful speeder.”
“We’re adding a new crew member?”
“Not exactly. I’ll explain later.”
Luke walks up to Jacob and stares at him for a moment. He then mutters, “Thanks”, under his breath.
“Yea well Emma’s a softie so what ya gonna do.”
Sparky shocks the metallic serpents off of Simone and Luke. “Follow me”, yells Simone as she runs off with the others trailing behind.
They follow her into a massive weapon storage room.
“Paydirt!”, exclaims Jacob.
“This was the same place he had it in his other ship”, explains Simone as she starts examining the weapons and strapping them to herself. She then grabs her fire sword hilt and tosses Luke his Viper. The gang loads up on gear just as a bunch of thugs run into the room. “Just in time.” The gang fights their way through Johnny’s henchmen.
Kharon Chapter 67
Back on the bridge Johnny and his gang are piloting the Kharon with Kiarah’s help. One of Jonny's gang runs onto the bridge out of breath and shouts, “Hey! Johnny! Our old ship is falling behind. It’s just drifting in the fucking ocean.”
Johnny patches into the Kharon’s communication system and says, “Puddle Skimmer come in. This is the Kharon. Why aren’t you keeping pace?” No response comes over the radio. Johnny grabs Kiarah and shakes her violently. “Tell me how to fire this ship’s weapons!”
“Then will you let him go?”
“We’ll see.”
The Kharon turns around and fires its weapons at the other ship which explodes in a fiery ball. Just then Luke, Emma, Simone, Jacob and Sparky appear on the bridge loaded to the gills with weapons.
“You missed”, says Simone. They all begin fighting.
Emma holds up Sparky. “Hold still and Sparky…”. Before Emma can finish her sentence she is tackled by Kiarah.
Kiarah screams, “No! You’re going to get Hamak killed!”
“What the hell is wrong with you? Who the hell is Hamak?”, yells Emma as her and Sparky struggle against Kiarah. Jacob jumps on top of Kiarah trying to help Emma and Sparky.
“What did you do to her?!”, snaps Simone as she fights Johnny with a normal sword.
“Old Metron trick”, answers Johnny.
Luke dispatches with the last of Johnny's gang and joins the others in trying to subdue Kiarah.
“Do you really expect to beat me as long as I have a Quarsian on my side?”, asks Johnny as he pins Simone against the console.
“No which is why I need this”, says Simone as she takes her fire sword hilt out of its concealed spot in her sash and turns it on. The fiery blade appears and cuts off Johnny’s arm with the controller for the metallic serpents. Johnny screams in pain as Simone quickly grabs the arm and uses the device to shock Kiarah. Kiarah falls to the ground unconscious. Meanwhile Johnny tries to come up behind Simone and stab her with a knife and his remaining hand.
“Look out!”, cries Luke. At the last moment Simone evades Johnny and runs her fire sword through his chest.
As Johnny falls to the ground dead Simone leans in close to Johnny and whispers, “For what it’s worth, sorry I took your ship.”
Kharon Chapter 68
Later Jacob is walking onto the bridge which has been cleared of bodies. Luke is piloting the ship as Simone finishes cleaning up the last of the blood with a mop. Kiarah sits holding her head in the corner guarded by Sparky. Emma also enters the bridge of the Kharon.
“I just finished putting the last of Johnny’s weapons away. We’re pretty stocked now”, says Emma.
“All the dead bodies have been tossed overboard”, adds Jacob.
“How’s Kiarah doing?”, asks Emma.
“I’m fine”, growls Kiarah. “The effects have worn off now unhook this thing from my neck this instant.”
"You gonna play nice?", grunts Luke.
“Like you're one to talk. Sparky do your thing”, says Emma.
Sparky electrifies the ring and it falls off. “That was a most unpleasant experience”, Kiarah says as she rubs her neck.
“At least we got a stash of weapons and a speeder for our troubles”, says Emma.
“Oh I had to send the speeder back to Vice Island with The Mist”, says Jacob.
“Was she pissed when you let her out?”, asks Emma.
“Like I was going to take chances with that. I just set the speeder on cruise control. Someone on the island will let her out…eventually.”
“Wait did you set the speeder on cruise control or auto-pilot?”, asks Simone.
“Cruise control? Why?”
“Well I’m not sure how her powers work but if you shocked her with Sparky while in that container then you could have charged a compressed electron mass. And that speeder had a fusion power system. So in theory how it hits the island could….” Simone stops as the entire crew stares at her surprised. “Hey I had to have some science knowledge to break out of The Colony didn’t I?”
“So what are you saying?”, asks Emma. In response to her question there is a flash of light that goes off just over the horizon in the direction of Vice Island that they all see through the view screens. “Really?! Five islands now.”
