《C.O.L.A. BERATION》CHAPTER 22

Advertisement

Charlie is on the ground, looking up at Frank.

CHARLIE

What are you doing here?

FRANK

I'm here, saving your butt.

CHARLIE

Saving me?

Charlie closes his eyes and begins to rub the top of his head.

CHARLIE

I don't even remember you coming near me.

FRANK

Figures...You were in too much pain to realize it.

CHARLIE

Pain?! My eye...It doesn't hurt anymore.

Frank looks at Albert, Kindra, and Logan.

FRANK

That eye of yours, that's what he's after.

CHARLIE

But how will my eye help him?

FRANK

I don't know, but he plans on using that machine to do so.

CANDICE

Frank?!

Frank turns his head toward Candice.

FRANK

Oh. Hey, Candice.

CANDICE

That's all you got to say to me?

FRANK

What do you want me to say?

CANDICE

(Sarcasm)

I don't know. Maybe something like (using a deep voice) "Candice, I'm glad you're safe."

FRANK

Why the hell would I do that? Do you not know who I am?

CANDICE

Still a dick as ever, huh?

CHARLIE

Told you.

Cindy looks at all of them.

CINDY

I really hate to spoil the reunion, but I believe we have bigger things to worry about right now.

Charlie, Frank, Candice, and Cindy turn their attention toward Albert, Kindra and Logan.

FRANK

You're right, Mindy.

CINDY

What?

Charlie stands up.

CHARLIE

But how are we supposed to stop them and that machine?

CINDY

Wait... What did you just call me?

CANDICE

We have no choice. We have to take them all on.

CINDY

Yes. Just keep on ignoring me.

Candice looks at Cindy.

CANDICE

I'm sorry Cindy. Did you say something?

CINDY

(sarcasm)

Nope. Nothing at all.

CANDICE

OK. I just thought you were being a bitch.

CINDY

WHAT?!

CANDICE

(sarcasm)

Nothing.

FRANK

HEY! You two need to focus.

CINDY

(Whisper) I'll focus my foot up her ass.

CHARLIE

4 against 3... The odds are in our favor.

CANDICE

Bullshit! Cindy and I had a hard enough time trying to defend ourselves against that woman over there.

CHARLIE

You two must be weak.

CANDICE

Says the guy who was on the ground when I first saw him.

CHARLIE

At least I didn't get beat up by a girl.

Candice hit Charlie on the head making him grab his head out of pain.

CANDICE

Not yet, anyway.

CHARLIE

OWWWW! I was just in pain... Cut me some slack.

FRANK

KNOCK IT OFF! WE DO NOT HAVE TIME-

Suddenly, Kindra comes from out of nowhere and kicks Frank in the back. He flies to the roof's entrance and crashes into the door, falling to the ground afterward.

CHARLIE

What the...

CANDICE

Still think I'm weak?

CHARLIE

...Yes.

CANDICE

Shut up!

KINDRA

You really shouldn't turn your back on the enemy.

LOGAN

Same goes for you.

Logan has his blades to Kindra's back.

KINDRA

Logan? I knew I couldn't trust you.

LOGAN

You have a smart head on your shoulders. I did what you guys wanted for my own personal goals. This was my plan from the beginning.

KINDRA

I had a feeling you would betray us one day.

LOGAN

If only Albert knew as well.

KINDRA

He did.

LOGAN

What?!

A remote slips down Kindra's sleeve and into her hand. She presses a button and Logan starts to get electrocuted.

LOGAN

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He falls to the ground, not moving.

CHARLIE

LOGAN!

KINDRA

Now that we got the nuisance out of the way, where were we?

CHARLIE

Why would you do that to him?

KINDRA

Traitors must be dealt with accordingly.

Candice looks at Josaline and sees she is still passed out on the ground.

KINDRA

The same goes for Josaline.

CHARLIE

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL HIM!

Charlie charges at Kindra and throws a punch, aiming for her face. Kindra avoids the punch by turning slightly to the left. Next, she kneed him in the stomach.

CINDY

CHARLIE!

ALBERT

DON'T KILL HIM, KINDRA. I NEED HIS EYE WHILE HE'S ALIVE.

Charlie is breathless for a moment, unable to move. Next, Kindra hand palms Charlie in the chest, forcing him to fly back and fall to the ground from where he started. Cindy quickly makes her way to his side.

CINDY

Are you OK?!

Charlie is trying to catch his breath while slowly getting back on his feet.

CHARLIE

Never...better...

CANDICE

We have to work together in order to defeat her.

Candice begins to sweat.

CANDICE

(Even if we work together, I don't think it's enough to bring her down.)

KINDRA

If you give up now, your friends won't get hurt.

CHARLIE

I will never give up! NOT TO YOU! NOT TO MY DAD! NOT TO ANYBODY!

KINDRA

Suit yourself.

Kindra looks at Josaline.

KINDRA

I'll start with her then.

CHARLIE

WAIT! NO!

Kindra rushes to Josaline and raises her leg to execute an axe kick. Charlie begins to run to Kindra and Josaline.

CHARLIE

JOOOOOSAAAALIIIIINNNE!

Kindra brings her foot down with enormous power behind it. Frank comes from nowhere and blocks Kindra's axe kick with his forearm while looking down at Josaline.

CHARLIE

FRANK!

FRANK

I don't like it when people attack the defenseless.

Frank looks at Kindra with a smirk.

FRANK

Especially, if you're the one who's the attacker.

Frank quickly grabs Kindra's leg and pulls her toward him. He attempts to punch Kindra in the face, but she manages to block the punch with both hands. She is sent flying back and lands on the ground while sliding backwards on her back. She stops sliding once she is directly in front of Albert.

CINDY

Whoa!

CANDICE

Where did you get all that power from?

CHARLIE

Fuck that... How do I get that kind of power?

Frank stands up and walks over to Logan. He picks Logan up and lays him next to Josaline.

FRANK

Did you forget, Charlie? I'm dead.

CANDICE and CINDY

DEAD?!

CHARLIE

Oh yeah. I totally forgot.

Candice looks at Charlie.

CANDICE

You knew this and you didn't tell me?!

CHARLIE

Sort of slipped my mind!

CINDY

How could that slip your mind?!

FRANK

Enough with the questions. They're about to make their move.

Charlie, Candice, and Cindy looks at Albert and Kindra. Albert softly kicks Kindra in the head.

ALBERT

How long are you going to lie down?

KINDRA

Sorry, sir.

Kindra gets back on her feet.

CHARLIE

What is she?!

FRANK

An experiment.

Kindra tilts her head toward the ground and takes her hair out of a pony tail. After a few seconds, she raises her head to look at Charlie and company, for them to witness her pupils being red and having an evil-like grin on her face.

KINDRA

It's time to play!
