Rumors Spreading

Setting: Late Season 3 | Tilted Towers

          The rumors of the meteor striking the Battle Royale Island have spread after leaks of security camera footage of Dusty Depot when Dark Voyager and Dark Vanguard talked to Raptor and Brite Bomber have come out. Brite Bomber was in her Tilted Towers apartment when the doorbell rang, "Coming!" she said, assuming it was Raptor.

          She opened the door and Rex stepped in without saying a word. "Um, excuse me? Can I help you?" Brite Bomber asked.

          "How dare you!' Rex said as he sat down on the couch.

          "How dare I what?" Brite Bomber asked.

          "Not tell anyone about the meteor! You knew about it! Tilted Towers could've been evacuated and everyone could've been saved! But no, now everyone's going to die because of you!" Rex yelled.

          "Me? It's not just me! It was Raptor too! And besides, they never said if it was going to hit Tilted Towers!" Brite Bomber yelled in return.

          "Where else would it hit?" Rex asked.

          "Anywhere on the entire island!" Brite Bomber screamed.

          "Honey? Come on, it's late and you're going to wake the entire city. Let's go home now," The red dinosaur said from the doorway.

          "Tricera Ops! I told you to not follow me!" Rex yelled back.

          "I didn't follow you, I heard you from across the street," Tricera Ops said calmly.

          "Fine, but you will pay for this, Brite Bomber!" Rex said he pushed her to the side and left. As they left, Tricera Ops turned to Brite Bomber and mouthed the word, "Sorry." Rex wasn't the only one freaking out, Raptor was being terrorized in Retail Row.

Retail Row

          A small crowd had gathered outside of Raptor's house and were chanting, "We're all gonna die and it's all your fault!" They were holding signs with meteors, explosions, and aliens. Raptor was in his bed with the pillow over top of his head. His house had already been teepeed and a window had been broken. He got up and went to the phone and called Brite Bomber who picked up immediately.

          "Hello?" She asked as she picked up the phone.

          "Brite Bomber, it's Raptor. So it turns out everyone's really mad at us for not telling them all about the meteor," Raptor said into the phone.

          "Yeah, I already had a few issues with that I'm too scared to leave my building."

          "I can't open my door without being swarmed by a crowd."

          "We need to go and hide somewhere."

          "How would we even get there?"

          "The E.C.F. can escort us, they are our coworkers."

          "But where would we go?" 

          "There's a house for sale on the mountain southeast of Snobby Shores."

          "We're going to own a house together?"

          "I guess, you can't say anything about trying to move this relationship too fast. You said 'I love you' after Brite Gunner tried killing me the first time and we weren't even together yet, so."

           "You're right."

          "I'll get Subcommander to get me there and you call Havoc."

          "Ok, great. See you there!"

          "You ready?" Brite Bomber said, standing in front of the door. Raptor opened the door and they stepped in.

          "Well, this is it," he said.

          "It's nice, I like it," Brite Bomber said. 

          They signed the paper to buy the house that Havoc had and Raptor turned to her and said, "It's official now. We have quite a commute to work every day now, but that's ok, we're safe now."

          Brite Bomber turned on the TV and the news was on. The news anchor, Ginger Gunner was playing the security cam video looped and was talking about it. Raptor sighed. "We've just received word that Raptor and Brite Bomber were both escorted out of their homes by the Elite Civility Force and were brought to a remote location. This is horrible that they kept it from us," she went back to analyzing the video, "The only drawer that we can clearly see the labels of are D5 and D6. If we look at this map of the Battle Royale Island, we can see that those two coordinates are Tilted Towers."

          Brite Bomber turned to Raptor and said, "It better not hit Tilted Towers."

         Raptor responded with, "Let's get some sleep. We'll be fine."
