Chapter 12 -: Dick strikes back.

Dick just got off the call with Sarah. He was smiling heartily.

"We are gonna be moving soon, we have to rescue the gang" Dick says holding his fist up and staring at the wall. He was in the building where he had blown a hole in the walls earlier.

"Lemme see if I can make a hole in this wall like the one the explosion did" Dick thinks.

Dick moves his arm backward, he looks at the wall squarely, he punches it hard, CRACCCCK!!!!, the bricks in the wall breaks down, it even causes the roof to make a shaking sound.

"I am like black superman" Dick says with joy in his voice. Lefinna stares at Dick squarely, her arm had been fixed, turns out she was a special type of machine. Griff had built her using a combination of human flesh and nano technology so her body reconstructs itself, if a part is lost, so long that part can be put in the place it once was, the body automatically reconstructs it. She starts

"Griff couldn't tell you everything, there is something you must know"

Dick turns around, his face was beaming with smiles.

"Is it that you are a virgin?"

Lefinna shots Dick a wicked look, she ignores the remark and continues

"Marcel is using your blood to power himself, that was why he wanted you in the first place, he wanted to extract your blood so he could make himself self sustaining"

"I know Marcel, didn't he make any negro comment" Dick says between smiles.

"How did Marcel get my blood, sure we had faced lots of times in the past, I always had an edge over him, could it be that time when I put my blood in that keg to save his sister's life."

During one of the many brawls Dick and Marcel had over the years, a time had occurred when Dick was tracking Marcel, he got Intel that Marcel's kid sister was sick and needed medical attention from Sarah of course, he had used that to his advantage and infiltrated Marcel's base where the sister was assumed to be kept. He stopped any carriages from going into the building, turns out the sister needed blood transfusion and one of the carriages supposed to come in had be stopped by Dick. Marcel could not donate blood to his sister cause he was AB- while his sister was B+, Dick's blood type was B+ too, he took out about three pints of blood to save his sister but it was too late, she died. Dick had never forgiven himself for that after that day, Marcel wasn't aware it was Dick who stopped the carriages, all he knew was that Dick once popped in guns blazing and he begged him to let him save his sister and that was when Dick made the donation.

"He did comment about your inferior kind but he couldn't argue with the wonders of your blood"

Lefinna answers.

Dick gets up from the floor, he stares at the roof for a short amount of time as if trying to gather his thoughts. He looks towards Lefinna and begins

"Griff told me before he died that you could think like humans and if there's I have learnt about women especially, they want their freedom, they don't wanna be forced into making choices so Lefinna, you are free to do whatever you want."

"I would like to but you would just die and waste Griff's great work" Lefinna smirks.

"You got a fair point, doll but I don't want you to be bound to me" Dick says moving over to Lefinna.

"It is of my will to be by your side forever" Lefinna says, she had smiles all over her face now.

"You know people die right?" Dick smirks.

"Yeah they do, and knowing how reckless you are, you die faster than most, that's why I wanna stand by you, I am safe guarding my old master's work" Lefinna answers sharply.

"Well, your tongue keeps getting sharper every time, what's wrong, am I turning you on" Dick says putting on a wide grin.

"It's how you speak so it's only fair you are spoken to the way you speak to others even though your manner of speaking tends to get many enraged" Lefinna says.

"You don't need to tell me that, Junkyard scrap" Dick says sharply. A scowl comes on Lefinna's face, Dick notices it, he smiles.

"You got a lot to learn, dollface" Dick says nudging Lefinna with his right arm. He continues

"What do you think Marcel wants to do with Sarah and the others anyway, why doesn't he just kill them?" Dick asks

"He probably wants to transform them into werewolves for his sinister plan on taking over the city" Lefinna answers.

"Well, why didn't he just do it since" Dick asks.

"If the bacteria in the saliva is injected into a person's bloodstream when there is no full moon, the bacteria microbes always turn against the body immune system and the human host always gets destroyed. During full moon, the bacteria and the immune system are at sync and therefore, giving rise to a werewolf" Lefinna answers.

"Good, that gives us more than enough time, the full moon will be out by twelve midnight today, plenty of time for strategies" Dick says with a light smile on his face.

"How good are you at handling werewolves or the gargoyles?" Dick adds.

"Not very good, their strength overwhelms mine, I only out match them in logical reasoning" Lefinna replies.

"You sure about that?" Dick asks grinning.

"The strength part?"

"Nah, the logical reasoning, you seem to have the IQ of a metal scrap, the others can think like normal humans" Dick says smirking.

"My programming is beyond their comprehension" Lefinna shoots back.

"It was done by midget who couldn't even take care of his own room" Dick shoots back, he was enjoying this, he notices tears building up in the machine's eyes, he stops.

"Sorry, hope I didn't go too far" Dick says trying to appear light hearted.

"Not as far as a midget could have" Lefinna shoots back, she had smiles on her face. Apparently, she was deceiving him with fake tears all along. Dick smiles and while he was about to make a comeback.

"And we better get back to rescuing your friends before you bore me with another of your stale lines" Lefinna shoots sharply.

Dick gives a defeated look, he brushes up his hair with his arm and continues

"I will be the distraction, you would be doing the biggest part, you up for it or your programming needs a little retouching" Dick smirks.

Lefinna gives Dick a small smile

"Why don't you spill out your plan, big boy."

************************************

Marcel was standing in the ware house, the place where Sarah and the others were bound earlier, he had a tense look on his face. The vampires who were hanging on the roof had all come alive as their eyes begin to emit red light. Antonio and two other men were a few feet away from him. The hostages were on the ground but they were not bound back to back like last time, they were tied to some of the objects around the room.

"How many more hours left" Marcel asks, there was impatience in his voice.

"Just two more" Antonio answers

"I just have a bad feeling about this" Marcel says pacing up and down, he removes a small vial from his breast pocket, clogs it all down, goes to a part of the far end of the room and with an impact from his fist to the walls, he cracks the walls of the ware house and the building shook violently.

"Careful with what you are doing, not all of us are freaks, you know" Sarah says with a tired but determined expression. Marcel ignores her remark, pointing to one of the men beside Antonio, he motions him outside. The man getting the signal leaves the building, when he got out of the ware house, the four gargoyles were awake and they were each nine feet again, they were resting on the roof of the building and staring into the sky. The man decides to check other areas around, he moves for a while, he then notices something moving around a dark area.

"Who goes there?" he calls out.

"Just Uncle Dick" Dick answers with a light expression heading out, the man leaps towards Dick, he transforms to a wolf while in midair and a deafening sound was heard afterward. The sound was very loud, the gargoyles left their position to see what was making the sound, they see Dick, he had ripped the person who had leaped at him in two and he was screaming loudly like he was in pain. Dick stops screaming as he faces them.

"Awwn, you boys have finally grown but dang, that face is as ugly as always, Marcel is officially prettier now" Dick smirks.

One of the gargoyles leap at Dick, Dick moves away from his reach, just as the gargoyle passes him, he grabs one the left leg of the creature with his right arm and slams it into the ground, the floor makes a loud crack as the body of the gargoyle splatters all over the ground.

"That's right, blockheads, you are fucking dead" Dick says with a grin. The other three gargoyles leap towards Dick from different directions, Dick dodges just in time and the gargoyles hit each other head on WHAAAM!!!.

"I knew you stones were stupid but I think an average lifeless stone doesn't just move around aimlessly" Dick smirks, one of the gargoyles hovers up, he was the one who Dick had taunted about balls earlier.

"Ball less, Stupid and Ugly, is there any disgusting quality you don't posses" Dick calls up to him in the sky, his face frowns and he flies down towards Dick at a dashing speed. Dick moves to the side as the Gargoyle hits itself on the ground, it gets up and tries to land a few punches at Dick but Dick dodges easily, Dick begins to adopt dance steps as he was dodging the gargoyle moves and with a dance move, he lands a hit back on the gargoyle consistently.

"This is getting boring" Dick says as he hits the gargoyle at his back, it's skin cracks and breaks into lots of pieces and falls on the ground.

"It's almost hilarious to think you guys once almost murdered me" Dick says, he looks at the remaining two gargoyles "is it just me or you guys are missing one idiot".

Dick lets out a chuckle "Lemme guess, Marcel did it, white ass kid got serious anger issues."

The two gargoyles turn around as if to fly away from Dick, Dick shouts

"Come on, I haven't properly thanked you guys for almost killing me yesterday."

With that, Dick makes a jump, he is far high in the sky.

"When I look at objects, I see their internal structure and they always have something on the inside but when I see you gargoyles, I see just stones" Dick says as he lands on the back of a gargoyle, the gargoyle tries to swerve violently to the sides in order for Dick to fall off, Dick just held his two large wings at their base tightly.

"I will be taking this" Dick says as he rips the wings out of the back of the gargoyle, then Dick forms his palms into a fist and hits him straight in the head, the bits splatter all over that air. Dick lands on the ground, he drops the wings on the fall.

"How about I catch the last stone" Dick says as he leaps in the air, he lands on the back of the gargoyle

"Have mercy" the gargoyle shouts. It didn't even bother trying to shake Dick off.

"Awwn, what happened to the pathetic kind you were calling me when we first" Dick says with glee in his voice, he jumps from the body but holding it's legs firmly with his right arm. He lands on the ground vehemently with the gargoyle in his hands, the gargoyle hits the ground and most of its upper body shatters, it remained only its legs.

"Why don't we play a game of baseball" Dick says heading towards the ware house. Dick hits the door of the warehouse with the gargoyle remains and the door breaks into lots of pieces.

"Sup y'all, mind if I borrow my friends back" Dick says with a confident grin on his face. The other man who was beside Antonio transforms into a wolf and leaps towards Dick, Dick smiles, lifting the broken part of the gargoyle to head level, he connects it with the werewolf's head sending him several metres away.

"Vamps, attack" a voice calls out, it was Marcel, the vampires hanging on the roofs began to drop down from the roof, their eyes had a red glint and two fangs were showing from their mouth.

"Antonio, take the hostages to the other room" Marcel says again. Antonio stands and goes to do as he was told.

"Such disgusting makeup" Dick says walking confidently towards them, the vampires make a dash towards Dick, Dick dodges all their incoming attacks even though they were about sixteen in number, Dick grabs the head of one of the vampires with his left hand and flings him around, he brings him down with a mighty swoop of the gargoyle remain he was carrying in his right hand, the skull shatters in the floor, another vampire tries to attack Dick from behind but Dick moves away from that area, he taps the vampire lightly on his shoulder, when the vampire turns to face him, he lunges his left arm into his skull. It cracks into two.

"Let's get this over with" Dick says as he holds the gargoyle with both hands and begins to swing it around, the impact hits the vampires surrounding and they began to fly all over the room with damaged and dislocated body parts.

"Even James Bond wishes he was me right now" Dick says with a wry smile. He faces Marcel who was about four metres away.

"Long time, no see buddy, you couldn't even bring me flowers at my death" Dick says still grasping the gargoyle remains. Marcel moves back, he brings a vial from his breast pocket.

"You are such an hypocrite, you racist douche" Dick shouts "Go on then, drink my blood, you are allowed man." Dick finishes with a sour expression on his face.

Marcel empties the vial, he lunges forward at Dick, Dick was fast but the speed Marcel was moving was the same as his, he drops the gargoyle remain in order to block the fist Marcel wanted to throw at him.

"Nothing beats a good ol' fashion fight, you sure you don't want your mama, white kid" Dick says holding up his two arms, Marcel ignores the remark and lunges forward at Dick, Dick steps out of the away and launches two quick blows at his opponent' guts, Marcel shakes the pain off, he kept trying to hit Dick but Dick would just dodge and counterattack fiercely.

"Come on, you are making the whites look bad" Dick jests. Marcel launches himself at Dick, he lands a punch on his face, Dick staggers back, Marcel using this to this advantage dashes at Dick, he grabs him by his feet and lifts him up the ground, he swings him and throws him in the air, he sends Dick flying, Marcel grabs the remains that Dick dropped, he sprints to where Dick was in the midair, and hits him violently to the ground with it. THUD!!!!, Dick makes the sound as he cracks into the ground, Marcel lands on top of Dick, covering Dick's neck with his arm, he raises him and continually hits him on the ground violently till Dick's face began to bleed, he raises Dick above the ground.

"Any last words". Dick brings a small mirror from the pocket of his baggy jeans, he shows Marcel, then the mirror cracks.

"Even the mirror can't stand how ugly you look" Dick smirks. This enrages Marcel as he throws Dick away. Marcel tries to make a dash but he senses he has lost the juice, he checks his pockets for vials but couldn't find any.

"Looking for these" Dick says holding a vial, he drops it to the ground, then stamps it under his feet. He dashes at Marcel and locks his two arms with one of his.

"You are going to jail, you ugly motherfucker" Dick says smiling, his face had already healed from the wounds Marcel caused him.

Dick steps outside with Marcel, he notices Lefinna as she rips Antonio's heart out, as the wolf falls to the ground and reverts back to his normal form lifeless. The other hostages were tied at their wrists, Lefinna proceeds to help them.

"Not bad for a droid" Dick shouts heartily

"Not bad for a dick either" She replies him with smiles. She unties the rest of them, as soon as she unties Sarah, Sarah runs towards Dick, Dick lets go of Marcel, she hugs him tightly.

"I missed you so much" she said

"Your diss distraction ruse worked out pretty well today" Tommy says smiling.

"In the four years we worked together, did it ever fail?" Dick replies still in a tight embrace with Sarah.

"Didn't know you taught Sarah too" Tommy continues

"Well, you do now" Dick says smiling heartily.

Diss distraction ruse was a technique invented by Dick in order to escape hostage situations, it involves the hostages shouting diss lines at each other while others shouted BURN!!, while this was distracting the people keeping them hostage, some other hostages worked out an escape plan. Tommy learnt it from Dick cause they were partners for four years and Sarah cause she was his subordinate for a short while.

Just then, a bunch of police cars and some ambulances come into the areas. Dick turned towards Lefinna, he knew she must have called them, some cops step out, then Marcel was handcuffed and he was taken to the back seat of the police car.

"That kid is gonna be in jail for a long time" Tommy smiles leaving the area, soon the others too do, they move towards the ambulances.

Sarah when she notices this breaks away from the embrace, she looks at Dick and kisses him lightly on the lips, Dick kisses back but more intense.

After a while, Dick breaks away from the kiss

"Would you be free tomorrow at seven since Marcel is taking care of" Dick says grinning.

"Yh sure, pick me on time" Sarah replies.

"I will" Dick says, then he gives Sarah a light kiss on the head. Dick and Sarah break away from the embrace.

Time suddenly pauses for Sarah, everyone around her stops moving as if they were frozen in time, Sarah looks around in amazement, Just then, a spooky figure who was about four feet suddenly appears before her.

"Who are you?, what's happening?" Sarah says, she was tired and shocked at the same time.

"That shall be discussed later, it's time for you to embrace your destiny" the figure answered, the figure hands her a necklace. Then he disappears and time continues to flow normally.

Sarah looks about, everything appeared normal except there was a necklace in her hand.

"Destiny?, what's all this about?"
