Chapter 10 - The Ghost, The Lioness, and The Raiders OH MY!

The two ran through the streets of the ruins of Chicago, raider hollered, and chased the two out of the city. Alexander hopped in the back of the Bronco II then did the maiden and The Ghost.

The Bronco II took off down the ruined Highway being chased by more. Raiders hollered as they tried to catch them. The Ghost knew his plan, lead them into Aurora, let the Skattlkin deal with them.

As the chase makes its way into Aurora, Skattlkin hiss and screech as the Bronco II flies by, trapping the Raiders with the Skattlkin, they were four armed creatures, starved by nature with a need for human flesh. Their eyes weren't good, but they had an unnaturally high metabolism, and the distance they could jump was incredible. Their strength was enough to toss the pursuing raider vehicles through buildings, rip raiders in half, destroy everything the raiders had to chase the Ghost.

The Ghost was simply using the raiders as a distraction to keep the Skattlkin away from them. The beast charge blindly at the screams of humans being ripped apart, not concerned with the noise of the Bronco II. The three keep themselves quiet, and kept the radio off as they made it out of Skattlkin Territory. However, they failed to realize, they'd woken the Skattlkin Queen. It loomed over the others, seeing the fleeing Bronco II it roared and returned to the herd.

Back in Seneca, the Preppers had fortified the town, reclaiming what was once their homes. A guard standing watch hear a noise, every gun in Seneca was pointed at the gate.

"There! I see it!"

The Bronco II screeched to a stop and the Ghost hopped out.

"I come in peace! Don't shoot!"

Guards open the gates and allow the three inside. There they told the preppers their story. From how Ottawa become ODTA, and the now impending Skattlkin threat. The preppers shook their heads, even with their firepower, they wouldn't be able to kill the Skattlkin's queen. The head prepper, Tom Buchanan, stepped forward.

"What would you have us do? Clearly we can't beat this threat alone, we are only so far away from them. Morris is probably infested now, but, we don't stand a chance."

"Come back to ODTA with us, we have an alliance with some clans and we have plenty of space for everyone to stay."

"You think this alliance can help?"

"Yes, Alexander is of the Eagle Rock Clan, and I am the last Ottawa native, we can work this out, but we have to leave now."

They nod, and the preppers load up. They gas up the Bronco II and they head to ODTA to prepare for the new threat.
