Cutesy-wutesy. Well, they might look like that, but get on their bad side and they\u2019re far from it. We\u2019ve lost many good foxes to the bipolar bears.\u201d The bear puts its hands on either side of its head and grips firmly. \u201cHold on a sec, rewind! What did you just say?\u201d The bear\u2019s fur is slowly turning from white to black. \u201cCutesy-wutesy. Well, they might look like that, but get on their bad\u2014\u201d \u201cNo, after that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, I said we\u2019ve lost many good foxes to the bipolar bears.\u201d The bear appears to be twisting its own head off. \u201cBipolar?\u201d The bear is now jet-black. It is also without a head. Well, its head is no longer where it should be. The little furry fucker has ripped it off and is pointing it at us like a weapon. \u201cBipolar as in \u2013 nice one minute and psychotic the next,\u201d says Scar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the fuck is going on?\u201d yells Nick. I take a step back, putting my arm in front of Sarah and retreating with her. She pulls McKenzie backward too. \u201cYou pissed him off, Nick,\u201d I say. \u201cAnd now he\u2019s going to throw his head at you.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m afraid it\u2019s much worse than that,\u201d says Scar. And he\u2019s right. The bear, now completely black, doubles over at the waist, revealing a neck hole with metal insides. It turns its own head so that the face points at the sky and spits out a great gushing fountain of reddish fluid from its mouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHit the deck!\u201d I scream. We all crash onto the ice. A flicker of blue flame shoots out from the bear\u2019s neck. It ignites the red fluid and sends a great arcing fan of flames toward us. I feel the heat over my head and back. \u201cHoly shit!\u201d yells Nick. \u201cI did warn you,\u201d says Scar.<\/p>\n

The roar of the flames stops and the heat dissipates. The once white ice now has a watery sheen to it, half-melted by the fiery blast. A loud crack echoes beneath us. \u201cUh oh!\u201d shouts Blinky. Large zigzags of broken ice splinter across the surface with ominous crackling sounds. Then the ice breaks beneath Blinky and he crashes into the dark-blue water below.<\/p>\n

He scrambles at the edges as his rear half submerges. His legs scratch and scrape at the edges of the hole, desperately trying to get traction. \u201cHelp me! I can\u2019t swim!\u201d I run to the edge of the dark, jagged pool and grab hold of one of his legs. Sarah pushes McKenzie away to safety, then lunges forward, seizing one of Blinky\u2019s pincers. \u201cWe can\u2019t do this on our own!\u201d<\/p>\n

I yell. \u201cUgh, fine!\u201d says Nick. He rolls his eyes and slowly walks over in a shuffling gait. He grabs hold of another leg. ArachnoBot hums as he readies his battery for a laser blast. \u201cShould I just zap the rest of these assholes?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s the smartest move just now, Rachno,\u201d I say. \u201cWe\u2019re on ice.<\/p>\n

– Sir Winston Churchill 1kitap1.com\/en S Chapter 1 arah\u2019s screaming. The pinless grenade\u2019s between my feet, and I\u2019m holding Nick\u2019s limp body in my arms. I turn to the side, drop Nick to the floor and then kick the grenade as hard as I can towards the open door we came in through. It skitters across the concrete, and the heads of Sarah, McKenzie and ArachnoBot all turn, following it with wide eyes. Boom. Shrapnel and concrete fly in all directions. Suffice to say \u2013 the grenade didn\u2019t reach the door.<\/p>\n

Red lights flash on the ceiling, an alarm sounds, and water sprays down from sprinklers. Sarah rushes over and kneels next to Nick. \u201cNick! Can you hear me? Niiiick!\u201d His legs are in a really bad way. The crab\u2019s digestive acid has eaten through parts of his overalls. It gets worse the further down you look. His shoes are nowhere to be seen. His feet are red, raw and seeping from open sores. I kneel next to Sarah and put my hand on Nick\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n

I think I feel a brief murmur or vibration, but it could be my hand trembling. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry, Sarah,\u201d I say. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I could\u2019ve known this was gonna happen. There\u2019s no way any of us could\u2019ve known!\u201d She lifts Nick\u2019s head off the ground and caresses his reddened cheek with her other hand, then gently lowers it down.<\/p>\n

We both stand. Then she pounds me over and over and over in the chest. I take every hit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
