Chapter 194: (Dorknyss) (2/2)
bring bring
The little ratcheting bell sound echoed through the foggy night.
Everyone started to giggle.
A Lanaktallan, all black, wearing a black sash and black flank coverings that were studded with shiny chrome spikes, galloped through the intersection from left to right, behind the Night Terran, it's hooves wreathed in fire and its hands replaced by curved blades, whinnying in a high pitched screech. The mist behind the Night Terran began to swirl.
The Lanaktallan drew back in fear.
The two APC's suddenly shut down, settling the ground. They hissed, mist escaping the edges of the door as they mag-locked down.
Inside each of them the six manning Lanaktallans began to suddenly choke on the halon from the fire suppression system going off.
It was invisible inside.
The mist parted and several Lanaktallan screamed.
Behind the Night Terran were two rows of more Night Terrans. Two rows of six. The first row mounted on the orange plastic three wheeled conveyance with the oversized front wheel. The back row mounted on the smaller red and white three wheeled pedal vehicles.
All twelve rand their little bells.
briiiing briiiiing
The Night Terran put his hand back on the steering handle and the other twelve mimicked him right down to the timing.
”ALL OF YOU! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR BEING... THE NIGHT TERRAN?” The Most High sounded confused at the end.
The two drone operators stared at their screens.
There was nothing in the intersection according to their screens.
As they watched a cartoon version of the Night Terran suddenly rode across the screen on the back of a cartoon Lanaktallan.
They shook their datapads and when the video display was showing the Night Terran standing majectically on the back of the galloping Lanaktallan with his cape streaming off to the side, they reboot their systems including the drones.
People giggled as they watched.
GalNet was full of memes.
The Lanaktallan all nervously shuffled.
The street light went from red to green.
All of the Night Terrans suddenly began to pedal furiously. Their tongues slowly flowed out of their mouths and streamed behind them, the ends wagging around and spraying saliva everywhere, their capes streaming behind them as the Night Terrans began to move forward, pedaling so quickly that smoke was billowing out from under the two rear wheels of each vehicle. They all smiled widely, showing off sharp fangs as they advanced upon the Lanaktallan, pedaling furiously as they moved forward.
Inches at a time.
They all let go of the right handed grip of the steering bar and began snapping their fingers in perfect time as they furiously pedaled toward the Lanakatallans.
Viewers burst into laughter.
The Lanaktallan High Threat Response members, reallizing they only outnumbered the Night Terrans five to one, whirled in place and ran at the APC's, ordering the crews inside to drop the boarding ramps.
The first two ran face first into the sides of the APC's and bounced off, only to be smashed against it by their fellows.
”WE'RE TRAPPED!” a Lanaktallan voice screamed over their headsets as the fog rolled over them.
As the viewers watched the Lanaktallan High Threat Response teams broke and galloped into the fog.
The Night Terrans all pedaled across the intersection and vanished into the fog.
All across Lanaktallan Space everyone viewing saw the words come up before the broadcast cut out.
”THESE ARE THE ONES WHO THINK THEMSELVES YOUR MASTER”
