Vol 1 Chapter 100 (2/2)
The cheeky wastelander pushed the gas pedal all the way to the floor, kicking up a plume of sand as he broke free from the sweepersThe distance between the by the ti three Greenland warriors and headed west toward the setting sun like the rippling orange orb of fire was their destination
Chapter 100:The Brutal Wastelands
The blood-red light of the setting sun painted the roiling sea of sandOut in the wastelands even dusk elteringly hot
The sound of old engines ru of the anxiety and restlessness within the hearts of modern manIt was a world of blood and fire, cruelty and madness around every cornerIn this roup of aether from whatever excavators could findIt didn’t ht part, whether it was attractive, or whether it was convenientAll that mattered was that the machine ran
The truck Cloudhawk pilfered had a chassis of crude ht but sturdy bones froether with slabs of steelIt looked like so over the dunesIts cab was a mess of circuitry and pipes and there was no windshi+eld to speak ofStinging sand was constantly pelting Cloudhawk’s face
He didn’t knohat any of the instruments meant on the dashboard in front of himAll he knew – all he needed to knoas how to turn the da!
One of the soldiers with hi up!”
The truck didn’t have a rear viewon behind theines were getting closerFrantically he began to pull on levers and twist knobs interspersed through the -bang!
The truck shook violently and san to belch out of the exhaust pipesThe wheels kicked into high gear, kicking up a winding cloud of yellow sand behind the yells of the sweepers chased theardless of their boost in speed the other cars were closing the distanceFigures popped out of the cars bearing spears and hooks, every one of the at the truck with demented and twisted featuresThey looked like lory
But they weren’t insaneIt was the wastelands that were insaneIt was a whole crazy world they lived in!
One of the buggies, refitted to be spiked like a hedgehog, pulled up behind themThe driver flipped a lever and bolts fired out of his car that buried themselves in Cloudhawk’s bone truck like nailsChains attached to the bolts tightened and the roaned in protest

Suddenly the truck jerked and its speed cutThe inertia al windshi+eld but he grabbed whatever he could,froy were deeply i them down
“Kill! KILL!”
A sweeper popped out froe javelin in handHe heaved it at the bone truckInstead of a metal head the javelin was affixed with a wrapped bottle, filled with rat’s blood, oil and other combustible materials
Boom!
A ball of fire sed the rear of the truckCloudhawk could feel it shake and start to break apartAt least one of their tires were blown!
The sweepers pulled out a second javelin and reeled back for another tossCloudhawk grit his teeth and yanked the wheel, sending the off in another directionThe sudden force flipped the hedgehog off balance and flung it to the side still connected by chainsIt shattered like a house of building blocks, sending debris in all directionsThe sweeper who had a javelin leveled at them had half of his body decimated, crushed by the i explosions followed as his and all the rest of theri javelins detonated
Cloudhawk fought to get the truck back under controlThe re behind hi every which wayCloudhawk didn’t have tiile lizards and their riders pulled up on either side
One of the was engulfed in fire!
Luckily the invisibility cloak Cloudhaasn’t flammable, otherwise the fires would have turned him medium-rareUnfortunately the Greenland survivors weren’t as luckyOne of the, flung himself out of the truck to escape the fla an to rollThe sweeper vehicles co up from behind ruthlessly ran him over half a dozen times
The lizards themselves were equipped with small flamethrowers that constantly eht the borenades fro in anger Cloudhawk gripped the steering wheel with his burned hands and pull it to the sideHis hefty truck sla both beast and rider over and crushi+ng them beneath the truck’s wheelsIt was difficult to tell from the smear of red behind them which parts were human and which were beast
Boom!
The sweeper’s bomb lit all the explosivehis corpse into a pillar of flaainst the left side of the bone truck and the blast set almost half of it on fireAnother fireboe
Depp knocked his bow and fired out an arrow that pierced the fire-thrower in the chestLike a puppet with its strings cut the lifeless body of the sweeper was knocked off the lizardIt hit the ground so crunch
“Kill theht in an insane bloodthirst that was hard to i bone truck, getting close enough to fire off -of-war the two sides heaved against one another
Depp kicked open the truck’s ruined door and leaned out, firing his board the cars behindHis arrow hit a tire and the car careened out of controlIt flipped on its side and rolled into another carThe chains that affixed the behind, but while it destroyed those vehicles its drag allowed the rest to get closer
The flail-wielding sweeper chief ca up beside them on his lizardWhen Depp spotted him he let loose with another arrow, but it was not aih his lizard mount’s head
The chief was skilled, and as his steed was cut down frorabbed the truck and scrambled on top in a fluid ed at the driver’s seat with a deafening roar
Thud!
The chief’s spiked ball and chain whistled over Cloudhawk’s head, barely scraping his scalp before getting buried in the mismatched instrument panel in front of himImmediately sparks filled the cab
“You drive!”
Cloudhawk dragged the rerabbed the flail’s chain and as the chief yanked it back he pulled Cloudhawk onto the truck’s top with itThe young warrior released the chain in midair, pulled his revolver from his waist and fired
The sweeper wasn’t slow, but at close range the shots still struck his chestBut his arh punch to cause daht his flail back aroundCloudhawk ht as the truck ruh the sweeper chief’s flail was a nasty weapon, he couldn’t get good round below hietting a clear shot off into the sweeper’s helmetThe impact forced the chief backward, and that’s when Cloudhawk’s exorcist staff jabbed forward
Aret!
A power like being struck with a sledgeha the chief from the top of the truckNot aby Cloudhawk’s headHe couldn’t linger out here in the open, but as he was preparing to swing back into the car two explosive javelin’s struckOne of them hit the fuel tank
B-O-O-M!
Cloudhawk felt weightlessThe javelin had pierced the truck’s fuel tank and ignited the gas insideA massive blast rose from below them and the back half of the truck was pitched up several feet, sending debris everywhere
The sudden force of the explosion kicked the truck up as well as all the cars connected to it, flipping them allThey tu explosions and twisted metal in their wakeSand and smoke filled the air like a rain from hell
Peace settled after the chaotic scene
Survivors were unlikely in a catastrophic suicide attack like this, but Cloudhawk had been thrown froy into his cloak to try and break his fall, but even striking soft sand at this speed would be deadly
It all happened fast as a thunderclap
It felt like Cloudhaas struck in the headThe whole world spun out of control as he was flung through the airHe was rotating so fast the centrifugal force felt like it was scra his innards
Then, just as he was about to hit the ground –
-Everything went blackIt was like he cut through reality to enter a drea though he had no wingsspace around hi he could feel his he could neither see nor touch
Eventually a burning sensation crept up all throughout his body, painful enough that it brought Cloudhawk back froled onto his feet and surveyed the sceneWreckage, stretching every which way; bits of lizard, car, human… sand and blood, fire and iron, complete devastation!
To Cloudhawk it felt like every bone in his body had shattered, however luckily the fact was he hadn’t been badly woundedThat certainly wasn’t the case for the bone and metal truck he’d tried to steal, which could hardly be called slag at this pointHe didn’t knohether Depp or the other Greenland soldier were still alive
But the fight wasn’t over! Sweepers kept coh the sand and slie, like the eyes of death peering through the darknessIta bloody end
