Capítulo 65: Snakes on a plane
"How much longer till we have enough Third energy?" Sean asked.
"Days I'm afraid. Unlike last time I had to speed through short cuts in order to confirm my theory about Third energy harming the Dark Rider and you can see what happened. This time I have to be careful to avoid the same thing." Kirk said.
"Forget about that. We have a new problem." Gail said walking in holding a file before handing it to Sean who reads it.
"Eddie Kim." Sean said reading the file. "Oh this piece of shit." Sean said handing it back.
"Am I missing something?" Kirk asked.
"Eddie Kim went to high school with us back in the day. Since then though he's built up a criminal empire." Gail said.
"Ah. Should have known." Kirk said.
"I always hated him back in the day. But every witness to his crimes has always end up dead or missing for obvious reasons." Sean said.
"Well, we got a break." Regina said pulling up a screen showing a woman with back length blonde hair white skin and brown eyes.
"Alexis Rhodes." Sean said reading the name. (Alexis from Yugioh GX people)
"One of your contacts reported her about being a witness. She's willing to testify if we can guarantee her safety." Gail said.
"One problem. All the portals will be deactivated for routine maintenance checks." Kirk said.
"I know. That means we'll have to go by plane." Sean said.
"Not like we got a lot of options." Regina said.
"Ah fuck it. Gail get a Pelican ready for a departure to Hawaii. We'll use civilian transportation to fly back to LA. If we use Military we might end up against the Dark Rider. And since the Third Energy reserves are still low we can't risk that." Sean said.
"Roger that." Gail said going to get the Pelican ready.
Later
"You know when I was told I would be getting good protection. I was not expecting you." Alexis said making Sean chuckle before Sean's contact named Agent Sanders walked in.
"Sanders." Sean said shaking his hand.
"Good to see you Sean." Sanders said.
"So are we flying that?" Alexis asked pointing to the private plane outside.
"No. Thats just a cover. We're flying the plane heading for LA right now." Regina said.
"Lets go." Gail said as they head into the plane with little to now weapons other than pistols.
As they entered the plane they met up with a flight attendant woman who had brown hair brown eyes and white skin.
"Ma'am." Sean said before showing her their ID's.
"Can you actually guys actually take over first class?" The woman asked.
"Well, miss..." Sean tried to say.
"Delia." Delia said. (Delia from Pokemon here people. How could I resist adding her of all people?)
"Well, Delia. Yes we can if it's required for us to do so. If you'll excuse us." Sean said as they headed for first class before settling in.
"Never been on First class before. Feels nice." Regina said.
"I've flown only in private Jets since My company was formed." Sean said before sitting down next to her.
"So what can you tell me about Sanders over there?" Regina asked.
"Him? Not much to tell. Know him for five years and I know he's blown a marriage due to being an idiot." Sean said making her giggle. "But he's loyal and one of the toughest bastards I know." Sean said.
"Sean, Captain's patching us through to Lane." Sanders said.
"Ok." Sean said going to the phone before he was connected to Lane.
"Everything good so far?" Lane asked looking through various files on his computer.
"We're still on the ground right now. Still doesn't look like Kim is onto us yet. Lets keep it that way." Sean said.
"Don't worry son. I've got SHIELD agents on him right now. He's not going anywhere." Lane said.
"Make sure it stays that way." Sean said before they took off.
"So how does the most powerful man in the world end up protecting me?" Alexis asked smiling at Sean who chuckled.
"I know Eddie Kim from when I was in high school. He was a thug then and now he's a crime lord. I should have known that was gonna happen." Sean said.
Meanwhile in the cargo hold a timer was sent once the plane got to a certain altitude before it burst open.
"So tell me about yourself." Sean asked.
"Well, honestly theres nothing to really tell. Wanted to be a model back then but I could never find the right agent." Alexis said before the lights began to flicker.
"Hmm?" Sean said before one of the pilots known as Rick walked towards them.
"Something wrong?" Gail asked.
"Thats what I need you to tell me." Rick said leading them up front and down in the maintenance level seeing the main Pilot Sam down there dead.
"The hell?" Sean said before jumping down and inspected the body as did Gail.
"What happened?" Gail asked.
"I don't know. Looks like a heart attack. But something isn't right. Despite his age he looked fit and healthy enough to prevent that. Something isn't right." Sean said before they headed back up.
"I've worked with that man for 10 years and never once did he show signs of bad health." Rick said.
"Think we should head back?" Regina asked.
"No. It would take more time to head back. We stay on course." Sean said.
"Right." Rick said getting in his seat.
"Whats going on?" Delia asked walking in.
"Your pilot had a heart attack. At least thats how it looks. Do me a favor and keep an eye on the passengers please." Sean said getting her to nod before leaving.
Alexis waited for the others to come back before they did.
"What happened?" Alexis asked.
"The Commanding Pilot had a heart attack. At least thats how it looks." Gail said.
"I still don't think thats what happened." Sean said as the plane shook from all the thunder and heavy wind.
As this was happening Rick was continuing to fly the plane back to LA before he spotted something that made his eyes widened.
"What the hell?" Rick said seeing an actual snake on the panel before he smashed it but failed to see another one messing with the controls.
As this happened the air masks fell down and shockingly a whole swarm of Snakes did of various species dropped down.
This in turn made the passengers scream in terror which caught the attention of Sean's group.
"The hell?" Gail asked.
"I got it." Sanders said heading down but froze in fear seeing so many snakes. "Oh Shit." Sanders said before the Plane shook again and Sanders fell down to the snakes.
"Shit! Stay up here!" Sean yelled before rushing down to help Sanders as he yelled in terror before one of the snakes strikes him in the chest before Sean kicked it away.
"I've got ophidiophobia. Fear of snakes." Sanders said before Gail rushed down.
"Snakes? How in the hell?" Gail said.
"Get the passengers up here!" Sean yelled as they rushed to the civilians and used tasers to shock the snakes which killed them. "Everybody! Move forward!" Sean yelled before seeing the snakes attacking the Leis. "The hell?" Sean said before he pushed the civilians up front. About only less than a Third managed to survive this unexpected attack.
"First Dinosaurs now Snakes?" Regina asked.
"I don't know what to tell you." Sean said as he and Gail carried Sanders up the stairs.
"We missed the bastards because they were cold-blooded." Sanders said before Sean and Gail sat him down.
"Sanders, Listen to me, you're okay. Just take a deep breath, Sanders, you're having a panic attack." Sean said but he just tried to open his shirt making Sean frown before tearing it open seeing he poisoned greatly making Alexis place her hands on her mouth in shock.
"Damn." Gail said.
"Good Luck." Sanders said before he died making Sean sigh.
"Damnit." Sean said.
"What happened?" Rick asked before seeing the dead agent. "Aw damn." Rick said.
"We need to figure something out." Sean said.
"The only thing we can do is head to LA. If one of those damned things trips a circuit or something we're going down straight into the ocean." Rick said before heading to the control room.
"I need to talk to Lane." Sean said heading straight for the phone and called Lane before he answered.
"Anything new to report?" Lane asked.
"Sam, Sanders is dead." Sean said making him narrow his eyes. "You know all those fucking security scenarios we ran? Well, we're smack in the middle of one none of use ever thought of in a million years." Sean said.
"What are you talking about?" Lane asked.
"Eddie Kim somehow managed to fill the entire plane with poisonous snakes." Sean said.
"Wait, hold on. What kind of insane plane is that? He can't guarantee the snakes will get to Alexis." Lane said.
"He doesn't have to if they bring the whole damned plane down. And another thing. These snakes are all different species. Cobra's, Rattle snakes you name it. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fucking Anaconda on here." Sean said.
"But there are no snakes that live in Hawaii." Lane said.
"There has to be an importer. Look through the files on people who are known to have Illegal snakes in possession." Sean said.
"Will do. Try to keep Alexis alive till you reach LA." Lane said before hanging up.
"Alexis." Sean said walking up to her.
"Yeah?" Alexis asked.
"I need you to stay up here. If one of those snakes manages to bite you it's all over." Sean said making her nod before he left.
"These snakes are from all over the world. How did Eddie Kim get them here?" Regina asked.
"Probably from the Cargo hold. It's the only place where he could sneak them in without being noticed. Probably well hidden." Gail said.
Meanwhile on the ground
"This does not make sense." Turok said looking at various pictures of the snakes Sean and his group sent.
"What is it?" Lane asked.
"This snakes are from all over the world. I would know." Roland said.
"Well, someone had to sneak them in." Lane said.
"And I know exactly who." Turok said pulling up a file. "Kreitler. Known to collect Illegal snakes of all kinds from the world. Been busted twice for this. Kim must have paid him for those snakes." Turok said.
"Wait a second. He would have to know in advance for him to plan this. To know the portals would be down for maintenance and that we would only be able to transport her by air. I think we have a snitch in the FBI." Lane said.
"Or the cops. They use those portals as well." Roland said.
"That to. I'll send a unit to investigate them and find our mole." Lane said.
"What about the Anti Venoms?" Roland asked.
"We'll take them from Kreitler when we bust him." Turok said.
Meanwhile in the air
"Uh is it me or is this Plane going down?" Regina asked noticing the Plane was tilting.
"Shit!" Sean yelled before rushing up to the control room.
As he was doing this the service carts started ramming into the barricade they set to keep the snakes out.
"Everyone get topside now!" Gail yelled getting as many civilians up as possible.
Sean burst into the control room and found Delia fending off a snake before he smashed its head with his boot making her sigh in relief.
"Easy honey." Sean said before getting in the Pilots seat and pulled up before they leveled out. "Where the hell is Rick?" Sean asked before he came from the maintenance room with a swollen arm.
"Here I am." Rick said in pain before they pulled him up.
"Damn. These things are everywhere." Sean said before injecting Rick with a stabilizing agent.
"Yeah you're telling me. One of the little fuckers just jumped me before I fell down there." Rick said before his arm returned to normal size.
Sean went outside seeing the rest of the Civilians.
"We didn't have a choice. The snakes we're everywhere." Alexis said.
"Yeah I get it you did what you had to do." Sean said before he noticed the air was off making him sigh.
"If that air doesn't turn back on it will be hard to breathe in here." Regina said.
"The only way to turn it back on is down in the Cargo hold." Gail said.
"I'll go." Sean said before using the air ducts to get down to the cargo hold.
"Ahh!" Sean yelled as he fell into a pile of luggage. "Soft landing." Sean said before getting up.
"See if you can find the point of origin where these snakes came from." Gail said.
"On it." Sean said before looking around before finding a large crate. "Found it. Looks there was a release setting for when we got high enough. That explains how they got out." Sean said.
"Kim knew our every move in advance." Regina said.
"Probably dirty cops giving him the details of our operation." Gail said.
"I'll place my money on that bet." Sean said before finding the control panel. "Found it." Sean said before pushing the lever up and fresh air came in through the vents.
"Nice work. Now get back here before you get bit." Regina said.
"On it. Wait a second." Sean said finding a large knife in one of the suitcases. "This will come in handy." Sean said before he headed back.
Once Sean got back he saw Gail on the phone.
"Here. Its Lane." Gail said handing him the phone.
"Sam?" Sean asked before grinning. "Nice work." Sean said before turning to the remaining civilians. "Everybody listen up. They have the Anti venom on the ground for us when we land." Sean said getting sighs of relief.
"I'll go tell Rick the good news." Delia said heading to the door but it wouldn't open. "Rick?" Delia called out but he wouldn't answer.
"Oh don't tell me." Gail said as he and Sean using the knife he found opened the door before Rick's dead body fell out and a swarm of snakes were seen in the room.
"Close it!" Sean yelled before they slammed the door.
"Please tell me you know how to fly this thing?" Gail asked.
"I do." Alexis said gaining their attention. "I took flight lessons with my friends a few years ago." Alexis said making Sean sigh.
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I HAVE HAD WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE! Everybody strap in! I'm about to open some fucking windows." Sean said getting everyone to move and strap themselves in. Sean took out his gun before aiming at the window. "On three. One, Two, Three!" Sean yelled firing his gun and the glass broke before Gail opened the door having the snakes fly out the room before the three of them rushed inside and shut the door before Alexis sat down in the Pilot seat.
"Ok here we go." Alexis said taking the wheel before she started equaling the plane just as they were coming up to the airstrip.
"Lane?" Sean said using the comms.
"I hear you son. Listen you need to come back around and reduce your speed or you'll come in to fast." Lane said.
"We don't have time for that. We need to land now. We've got injured and poisoned people up here." Alexis said.
"You try to land now and you'll come in way to fast." Lane said.
"WELL, THEN CLEAR THE REST OF THE RUNWAYS CAUSE OUR ASS IS COMING IN FOR A LANDING!" Sean yelled.
(Insert that awesome music when the plane lands in the movie)
Alexis soon pulled out the landing gear as they reached the runway.
"Keep her steady now." Gail said.
"I know what I'm doing." Alexis said before they began to land.
"Oh shit Left!" Sean yelled before Alexis Turned to the Left to avoid a crash. Thankfully she managed to stop in a perfect spot making them sigh in relief. "And you said you wanted to be a model?" Sean asked making her smirk.
Later
"You can't do this to me!" Eddie Kim yelled as he was dragged into the Xenomorph Temple where Savage was still at looking terrified out of his mind.
"Shut up!" Gail said punching him in the face.
"Now let's see if this works." Sean said injecting Kim with the yellow Liquid Savage was creating from his body. Kim started to groan in pain before a face Hugger latched onto his face making him scream in fear and horror.
It took about at least an hour before the Chest Buster inside Kim came out making him scream in pain but shockingly he started to heal quickly.
"Looks like this stuff works after all." Gail said as another Face Hugger latched onto Kim making him scream in horror.
"Least now he can make up for all the harm he's done." Sean said. "Still need to fully test this stuff before distributing it to the most important members of the alliance." Sean said.
Later
"Still can't believe the amount of crap you've even taking recently." Frank Castle said to Sean.
"Trust me I'm just as annoyed." Sean said before they entered his and found a man in Military uniform with the rank of Admiral on his shoulders.
"Hello boys." The man said.
"Admiral Anthony." Sean said shaking his hand. "Been a long time." Sean said.
"Almost 8 years. Decided to drop by." Anthony said.
"Hello." Turok said walking in. "Who's this?" Turok asked.
"This is an old friend of mine and Talbot. Meet him 12 years ago." Sean said.
"Another one of your big adventures?" Turok asked making Sean chuckle.
"Actually yes. And you'll love this story." Sean said.
