Free Annihilation - Finding Keepers (Annihilation Series (Book Seven}) by Saxon Andrew, Derek Chiodo, Frank MacDonald Page B
“Each time you hit an ambusher, a red strobe light will go off indicating that they have been eliminated from the simulation.”
Manny had jumped behind Jake and had used his armors jets to fall slowly to the ground. He saw Jake, falling quickly and picking up speed, fire the small wasps and was amazed at his accuracy. He also noticed that he could not see those ambushers; he wondered how Jake could.
Jake saw the ground coming up ,so he pushed his armor’s jets to max power and came to a halt on the ground. Jake was wondering just how he had timed that jet burst so exactly. He suddenly turned sideways and watched as a small wasp went by his right shoulder. He saw it coming. It was moving so slowly that he could have reached out and plucked it out of the air. “This is not part of the armor’s systems,” he thought. He began moving to the left at a fast pace, then realized this must be part of his psychic ability which had come out due to the stress he was experiencing. Valerie said that some of his skills may emerge if he was stressed enough. He also noticed that he no longer felt any pain.
His sensors tracked the wasp back to its source and saw the ambusher standing behind a tree. He saw another black line between him and the attacker and fired another wasp. He looked away from the wasp he had fired and began running. He saw nine more black lines going out into the forest in front of him. He heard his sensor unit announce, “Attacker hit,” as he raised his left arm and fired nine rounds out of his auto cannon; one for each black line. He saw numerous rounds of projectiles coming towards him, along with twenty wasps. He moved to the right quickly and saw a dark shadow coming up to about three feet off the ground. He dove and rolled into the shadow. The projectiles and wasps all passed overhead; he came to his feet running.
Manny followed Jake and saw the ambusher’s red lights going off so fast that it was hard to keep track of them. He was amazed at the speed Jake was making and he knew that Armor was not designed to travel that fast. What was going on here?
Jake saw a black line over his head and he fired a hornet at it. An armed floater came roaring up and the hornet hit it, causing a bright red flash. The floater stopped and moved away from the exercise, having been deemed destroyed.
Jake saw ambushers on all sides, but no black lines. He felt like he was moving at normal speed, but their motions seemed to be taking place in extremely slow motion. He saw that he had passed those on either side before they could target their weapons.
Jake saw another black shadow ahead six feet off the ground. He jumped and entered the shadow just as a volley of slugs passed under it. He grabbed a light grenade off his armor as it rose up out of his chest plate and tossed it at the weapons platform hidden in the trees to his left.
The ambushers manning the platform fired at the approaching target, but it was moving faster than their sensors could track. The gunner tried to sight visually but could not keep up with the speed of the approaching figure. He decided to fire a spray of projectiles in front of the oncoming target. Suddenly an object came at them and hit at the base of the platform, covering it in red light. The platform’s red light activated and they were out of the exercise. The gunner commed, “Platform Alpha is out.”
Manny commed, “What happened?”
“I don’t know Colonel. Whoever that warrior is, he’s moving faster than any armor I’ve ever seen. He somehow sensed our targeting and moved out of our sights faster than we could fire. He just hit us with a light grenade and then passed us before the grenade went off.”
Manny tried to keep up with Jake, but he could see red lights being activated more than four miles in front of him. This was impossible.
Jake moved through the forest and fired his weapons every time a black line appeared. If he saw
