The Wraith: TAKING OUT THE CONTROLLER - Issue 13



Location: Center City near midnight

The serpent’s head smashed into the passenger window.  Oww! The Wraith heard the woman officer scream in pain.

Within the garbage truck, The Wraith heard a communications device sound. “Sam, this is Centurion. Dr. Morrow has created a force field within the patrol car.  We can’t get him out.  Collect your trash ASAP. We will need to bring the whole freakin car back to the Citadel in your truck.

Ffstt. Ffstt. Thuk! Thuk!

Arrows flew across the sky and struck both the tires on the opposite side from where the driver was standing.  The tires deflated and the garbage truck leaned slightly to the side.

The Wraith watched the hooded bowman parkour down the side of the building next to the cruiser with the drugged police officer. He snatched the police radio off the officer’s belt. The bowman to the alley, then drove on a motorcycle in the direction that the third patrol car had gone.

The Wraith telekinetically made his flying bumper twist around like a boomerang. It flew back towards the "trash serpent" at breakneck speed....

...and then suddenly changed course towards "The Trash Man," or whoever our mysterious Rascal of Refuse was, and hit him instead.  David figured that taking out the controller would hopefully take out the trash. Unfortunately the blow was not enough to stagger the man, let alone bring him down.

Officer Perkins ran out of his car.  He opened the trunk of his patrol car pulling out his shotgun. He aimed the shotgun at the garbage truck driver.

Ka-Boom!

Unfortunately Carl Perkins was still shaken from the collusion he was in. His aim was off, missing the ambushing Crusher.

FWUUMPH!

A grenade streaked across the sky. It flew into the cab of the garbage truck.

DA-BOOM!

The communications device ceased emitting sound. The steering wheel was gone and the seats were on fire.

The man in the black mask and jacket stayed next to the patrol car watching the fight intently.

Officer Alice Walker struggled in the grip of the trash serpent. She drew her pistol but was unable to find a shot.

Ka-Blam!

She fired in desperation and the shot missed.

Officer Milford rose up from the other side of the car. He fired his service revolver at the trash serpent. His aim was true but it wasn’t enough to drop the debris beast.

The trash serpent yanked Officer Walker from the patrol car.  It carried her over and dropped her in the back of the garbage truck.

The Garbage Man stretched his hands again. This time a debris dragon rose from the garbage truck.  It attacked Officer Milford. He was able to roll with most of the blow. He grunted in pain but moved away from the trash monster.
