Ambush!!! (pt.1)

*WHOOSH!!!*

On an open road with no cars in sight, a red flash of lightning could be seen. Anywhere this red crackling light passed, there would always be silence for a few seconds….

*BOOOOOMMM!!!!*

Before you would hear two sonic booms, as if the world itself is racing to catch up to the red flashing lightning.

"THIS IS SO FU*KING COOL!!!!" screamed Marcellus in delight as he ran faster than even the wind.

He ran and ran without ever feeling fatigue. He felt the wind blowing his hair, the freezing chill that came with going this fast, the smell of the intoxicating air that brushed past his skin and the sights motioning by, in the state of blur to visible.

But more, much more than all of this…

He felt the lightning! Embracing him like a warm blanket, heating him up and becoming one with his entire being. The racing of the sparks under his skin, sending him forward with an electric shock!!

He loved this feeling!

Marcellus sighed a content sigh as he lost himself in this feeling for a few more seconds before he came back to reality.

He still had so many things to think about, so he did. Lost in thought, he finally arrived at the place Artur told him to go.

He then called Arthur and told him that he had arrived. Arthur told him to wait for a second before hanging up. Marcellus calmed down his heart as he waited.

'I have used four out of the seven of my lightning bolts so far. I wonder what the other three are?' thought Marcellus in excitement at the prospect of his own power.

"YO" yelled Arthur as he was a decent distance away. Marcellus turned and saw Arthur waving at him. He disappeared and reappeared next to Arthur as they both started to crawl down towards the bunker.

After a quick tour of the place and greeting Alicia, who was looking at Marcellus with a gleam in her eyes, they all sat in the living room to get down to business.

"So, Chuck, tell us, do you know what the name of the organization this 'Mad Antidote' works for is?" questioned Arthur as they all paid attention intently.

"From what I know, he works alone without any affiliation except for the fact that he has a backer, who funds what he is trying to achieve" replied an emotionless Chuck.

"Who is this backer? What is it, exactly, that he is trying to achieve?" asked Marcellus, a little worried that this person might get in the way of their plans.

"All I know is that his backer is a high ranking vampire. I don't know what his ultimate goal is because I've never asked" Chuck responded.

Marcellus went into thought after hearing Chuck's answers. 'A high ranking vampire, huh'.

"Is the person waiting at the drop-off point you were supposed to take me to a vampire? If so, what rank?" asked Alicia. Hoping that someone strong wouldn't be there.

"It was a human, because doc knows I would never work with bloodsuckers" replied Chuck, showing his hatred for vampires. Even emotionless and under 'Mind Compulsion' he shows his unwillingness.

Ignoring Chuck's feelings, they continued asking questions. After they were done questioning Chuck, they finalized the plan.

"So, we will meet up at the drop-off point where Chuck was supposed to take Alice and ambush the person waiting there. We then go off of what is necessary to continue. If he agrees to a deal then we make a deal. Since he is human, if he isn't we compel him to be our spy. Any complaints?" summarized Marcellus as he asked Arthur and Alicia what they thought.

"I think we should also learn more about this 'Slayer' group and see if we can get any information from that angle" suggested Arthur.

"I'm fine with those plans" agreed Alicia as she nodded her head.

"For now, all we need to do is come up with our ambush plan" stated Alicia as she tilted her head, as if to gesture she didn't have one.

"Agreed" responded Arthur and Marcellus at the same time.

"..Did you two plan that before as some sort of revenge for the last time?" asked Alicia, feeling speechless at the fact that these two are able to make jokes during such a serious setting.

Arthur and Marcellus just looked at each other, smirked, then replied, " No, not at all" before bursting out laughing.

"..." Alicia just sighed and facepalmed as she shook her head.

After the talk, they brought Chuck back to the room. Arthur handed everyone, including Chuck, one of the burner phones that he picked up on the way here.

"I thought that we might need these" shrugged Arthur as he sat back down.

Alicia then went up to Chuck and compelled him to act normal as he called his employer. She also told him to tell him that he captured the girl and that he should send someone to pick her up. All this, without mentioning anything outside of the story that Marcellus had laid out for them.

So, without further adieu….

*RING* *RING* *RING* *RI—-

"Hello, who is this?" asked a voice on the other side of the phone. As he answered the phone, Chuck put it on speaker and preceded.

...

The good doctor was sitting in his office typing on his computer when all of the sudden, he got a call.

He checked the phone and realized that he didn't recognize the number.

Answering the phone he asked, "Hello, who is this?".

"Hey, it's me, Chuck. I've captured the girl Alicia and need you to give me an extraction point" answered Chuck in an irritated tone of voice.

"Oh, I had almost thought you had failed with how long you took" replied 'Mad Antidote' as he snapped his fingers in realization.

"Whatever you say, A*shole" replied Chuck with a sneer.

"I will message you with the time and place of where you should drop her. Good work" said the Doctor.

"I expect payment upon delivery" said Chuck, slightly raising his voice to show that he was serious.

"Of course," replied the doctor before he hung up. However, nobody could see the creepy, hideous, evil, grin he gave after he did.
