More Than A Friend (Part 13)
A couple nights later in the week,
they were parked at the beach.
In the parking lot to get a good view.
It was dark, no moon to give a clue.
Right on time they saw the light.
On the horizon. It was very bright.
On their laptop they could see it all.
The underwater city went up in a bright ball.
At the last second, a sub jetted away.
They got a call saying they were on the way.
A half hour later a sub surfaced in the cove.
Just as they expected after being told.
A raft appeared with 5 people on board.
Coz and Tom moved to the beach as one accord.
The raft landed and all hoped out.
Coz made the high pitched noise. They fell about.
Trashing and holding their heads.
They changed into reptiles. Nothing was said.
They saw Coz and Tom and charged.
Running fast in the sand was hard.
Tom fired a spear gun hitting one in the neck.
Violet-red blood sprayed out and it fell, a wreck.
Coz froze another right on the spot.
It fell over and broke up a lot.
Another one was wearing a metal veil.
Coz sent him backward hard into a metal rail.
It’s head popped open like a ripe melon.
It didn’t have time for any yellin.
By then, one was swinging a club at Tom.
Coz sent out a protective shield for Tom.
The reptile could not penetrate it.
Tom checked his computer, yelled “Your fit.”
Both reptiles began to run away.
It was the biggest mistake they made that day.
They were both wearing metal vests.
They slammed together so hard it was a mess.
When there were no more reptiles to stand.
the girls came running through the sand.
They flung their arms around the guys.
Started giving them kisses and cried.
“We were worried for awhile”
“But, you took care of them in style.”
“What will we do with them now?”
“I will show you” said Coz with a growl.
He turned them and all the gore
Into fine ash. They were no more.
He burned everything else related to them.
“How about the sub?” Raywin said with a grin.
Coz sent a red hot beam and hit the sub’s side.
It made a hole like a burn in someone’s hide.
He made several more at the water line.
The sub started sinking and was gone in no time.
It was all caught on film and sent to Coz’s dad.
He said “Good work kids!!” He was real glad.
The androids who blew the city saw the fight too.
They said “I wouldn’t want to go a round with you.”
They headed to the car, arms around each other.
They went home to Coz’s father and mother.
“So ends round one of androids vs reptiles.”
“Let’s hope every fight ends this good.” He smiled.
“It is still early. You kids go have some fun.”
With that, his research had just begun.
That night was real lovey dovey.
As the kids went cruzing and did some putting.
At the miniature golf course, what else?
Basically, they just stuck to themselves.
Will there be another android vs reptile war?
Most likely, but not for awhile after this big score.
