Margaret smiled sadly. "Thank you. Get your things and i will get mine. Who knows how long we will be gone." She gave him a peck on the cheek and went to her room leaving the paper with Icefire. As she packed she thought about him. "Maybe I will tell him when we've beaten her, that i love him." She said to no one.

As Icefire walked towards his room, his inner voice was berating him. Brilliant job, John. Look what you did. All of this just for a girl "Shut UP!!!" Icefire roared, half burning half freezing a desk. He took out a sports bag and threw in his clothes and other stuff that he knew they would need.

Margaret poked her heas into Icefire's room. "Ready to go?" she asked.

The biker sat on the steps enjoying the few moments of peace, when his craving hit. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his silver cigaret case. Empty.
"Darn."
He sighed and shoved it back in his pocket. John rose to his full height and walked back inside, heading to his room. He grabbed his dusty leather jacket and the keys to his bike and headed down the steps.
"Going for some smokes!" He shouted to anyone who wanted to listen.
The giant put on his shades and threw a leg over the Harley. He pulled the bike backward and turned the keys. The engine erupted with a roar, causing a smile upon the biker's face. He pulled back on the throtal, hearing the engine purr each time, the smile turned to a grin and he engaged the clutch and sped off down the path and out of the mansion.
The nearest store was a gas station about a mile away. He headed in that direction, roaring down the roads with his long hair flowing behind him.

About fifteen minuets later he pulled up to the gas station forecourt. He set the stand down with his heavy black boot and got off the bike heading to the small store.

In the sky a lone figure looked down at the gas station. An emotionless face, no soul in his eyes. It floated in the sky looking at the building. His eyes seemed to zoom in on John's face and take an image of it. The red screen from his point of view searched a databank and found a matching picture, his prison mug shot.
"Target aquired, John Magnus."
From the inside of his ear a reply came through.
"Good... He should be a worthy challenge. Eliminate him."
"Afirmative."
The man flew down toward the gas station, a fist held out.

"Yeah, I'm ready," Icefire replied. He shouldered his bag and followed her out.

Margaret walked out to the car and got in the passanger side as Icefire got in to drive. "Thanks for doing this." Margaret said. As she put her seatbelt on.

"What are you doing? I'm not driving; I have no idea where this person is," Icefired said. He opened the driver's door as to admit her in.

Margaret nodded and got into the drivers side, and they were off. Soon they came to the building that was in the paper, if she would be any where it was here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Clay watched from the window as the car pulled up. She had evacuated the building after she came here from the Cafe. "I knew you'd come when you saw the paper." She said to no one. Clay then waited in the main hall, the needle with the mutant pison Virus was hidden in her sleeve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Margaret got out of the car. "She's here." She turned to Icefire. "Shall we John."

Ronja had finally managed to get all the kids out of the living room and was now all alone. She prefered the solitude but in this case it also meant that she was pretty helpless as she couldn't walk on her foot just yet. Despite that she still felt it was better being alone.

"Maybe I could just try..." she thought to herself. She slowly put her injured foot down on the floor and shifted her bodyweight a little bit. Her foot burned with pain as a result and she quickly put her leg up on the couch again. "I guess that is out of the question then" she thought and sighed heavily.

(Is the piece of metal anything specific or is it just a scrap of metal?)
Aurore grabbed the piece of metal with a clean handkerchief and examined it closely.

John walked up to the counter and pointed at a pack of Camel cigarets.
"Pack of tweenty."
The man behind the counter turned to get them when John heard a faint whiring sound, it got closer and louder.
"What the...?"
He turned his head to see a man flying directly at him. The large glass window exploded and John was smashed through a wall, into the mens room. The dust settled and John rose to his feet shaking his head.
"Ughh, you better have insurance..."
He watched the hole in the wall as the man walked through, except he looked very unhuman now. He skin had bright yellow coloured veins shining through his skin and his eyes were bright red. There was also a mathmatical precsion about the way he walked, every step crucialy calculated so he had perfect balance.
John looked at the man in slight shock. The machine walked all the way up to him and tilted his head looking at John. The biker's breathing increased as he looked into the machine's eyes.
"What are you?"
Quick as he said this a fist punched John in the gut, sending him crashing through another wall to the outside.
He groaned and sat up to see the machine leaping through the air, aiming to smash his fist into John's face. John rolled out of the way and the fist broke several bricks and made a hole in the ground.
John shook his head and got to his feet as the machine did and turned to look at him. He took no chances this time and lunged himself at the machine smashing a fist of his own in it's face. It's head bent backward and stayed there for a moment. It slowly rose to it's normal position and looked at John with a slant. He was taken back and began throwing punches into it' chest. The machine did bend forward with each punch, doing nothing to stop him.
"Argh!!!"
Each flying fist that went into it's chest did hardly any damage. John grabbed it by the throat and launched it back into the building. It easily broke through the wall. John let out a heavy sigh and continued to breathe heavily, the sweat driping from his brow. The roof tore open as it flew into the air and bore down on John, crushing him into the earth. He stood at the end of the track left by John's body.
Freebird got back up and felt dizzy. He held his head as the machine toyed with him and slowly approached John. The biker took a deep breath and charged at it. The machine replied with a charge of it's own. Both gaunts now running at each other and exploding on contact. John threw a punch, and now the machine revealed it's speed by avoiding the blow and launching punches into John's gut.
He began coughing up blood with each blow. The machine gave him a swift uper cut sending the hells angel into the air and landing with a crash. Again he got up to see the machine's back. He ran at it holding his hands out. It sidestepped him and tossed him back into the building.
John broke through three walls before stopping. His body was barely holding on, when he saw his bike. He limped to it and started it up ridding off and seeing the machine through bloody eyes, in his mirror.

It was about to give chase when a voice in it's ear broke through.
"Wait! Follow him. He lives at the mansion."
"Afirmative."
It flew high into the air, keeping track of John's bike.

"Before we do anything first," Icefire said as he got out of the car. He froze the windows and doors, rendering them immoblie. He then burned the fire stairs. "Just make sure she doesn't turn tail and run."

Aurore gasped as she saw a faint flashing lightbeeping from the piece of metal, she immediatly let go and ran to Kim to inform her.
