Mech X4, Spyder x OC (book 2)

Episode 8

"So we go down." I said

"Are you sure you're okay to go into battle?" Mark asked Harris

"Absolutely son. Even a one armed Harris is still dangerous." Harris said

"Nerdo's got guts." Mark said

"You knocked yourself out in a fight a couple months ago." I told Harris and he glared at me. Harris winced as Mark fist-bumped him.

We landed by the rock. I grabbed my arm cannon and so did everyone else and we all left the robot.

"Where are we?" Mark asked as we walked

"No fucking clue." I commented

"I think it's some kind of secret weapons facility." Harris said

"I'm getting high-tech smart weapons and random and weird energy signals." I said, using my Mech Link

"This place is filled with dangerous stuff. We can't let him leave with any of it." Ryan told us

"Yeah no, but if we save the place, we can take stuff, right?" Spyder asked

"But of course, Spyder." I said, in a British accent, mockingly sweet, patting him on the back. There was a boom. "Traeger. Let's go." I said and jumped into the hole after Ryan. I flew down.

"There are stairs!" Ryan shouted at me as I fell down, passing him in a rush. In hindsight, it wasn't the smartest move, but it was fast. I fell down on top of Spyder, he broke my fall.

"Thanks." I told him, getting up off him and brushing myself off.

"Ow..." Spyder groaned. "You owe me for that." He said, getting up.

"Quiet!" Harris snapped. I brought out my arm cannon and held it in front of me in defense. I quietly yelped when I saw all the unconscious guards and prayed they weren't dead.

"Sorry unconscious dude." Spyder said, bumping into someone on the ground. I scanned him with my mech link.

"He'll live." I finally concluded

"Now that we know they're alive, where's Traeger?" Ryan asked

"Good question. Harris?" I asked

"He should be right..." Harris was interrupted by a noise. We all whipped in that direction and I shot a warning blast.

"Whoa... it's just me, Spyder. S-Spyder." He told us. I noticed something on the ground. I bent over and picked it up.

"The tracking dart fell off." I said

"Alright! Let's get hunting." Harris said. He lifted his arm cannon and made a pained noise

"Hey! You good? You can stay and guard and the rest of us can go look." Mark told Harris

"No! I can handle this. We can cover more space if we split up!" Harris said and walked away.

"Mark, Ryan, you guys are a good team, you go that way and Harris, Spyder and I will go that way." I said. The four of us nodded and Spyder and I ran to catch up to Harris. We finally caught up to him walking alone through what looked like a storage area.

"Harris. HARRIS!" I said, getting his attention.

"Sh." He whispered

"What are you doing running off without thinking, that's my thing!" Spyder said

"You okay?" I asked

"I'm fine!" He said

"No you're not! You're acting crazy, what's up with you?" Spyder said
