Chapter 8: Shoot to thrill

Chapter 8: Shoot to thrill

[Propulser noises mixed with air rush interference as "Free Bird" keeps playing in the background.]

"YIPEEEEE!"

The air rush around me made me feel incredible. It was another level of happiness, unlike the one I felt playing with the ball inside the lab. This happiness was greater. Soon, some new strange floating screens popped into my field of vision as I was about to touch the spiraling plane.

On one side of my vision, I could see the current altitude, traveling speed, and G forces with a red limiter. I could apparently withstand up to 200 G's. No wonder I survived everything so far; I'm designed to die hard. Once I landed on top of the plane, I encountered another problem.

Nobody answered my calls from the inside! Crap, the forces inside the plane probably made the crew pass out! How do I save them now!? I had around 90 seconds left before the plane would crash, think! A52! Think! My internal music player switches to "Shoot to thrill" as my processing unit scans the entire plane to look for signs of life.

[Only two people alive, both pilots, at the cockpit.]

How can I get in? Oh wait, am I stupid or something!? There was a massive hole in the plane already. What I do mean, how am I gonna get in!? With time running by so fast, I waste no more seconds on dumb questions and board the plane through the collision hole, which partially burns some of my clothes.

Fortunately, my clothes weren't all caught up on fire, so I could still put it out fast enough. Inside the plane now, I could barely make out anything as thick clouds of smoke blinded my standard light-sensitive cameras. It didn't matter in the end, as I simply ran forward, heading straight for the plane's cockpit.

How did I know what direction it was? Simple, the annoying alarms blaring were clearly ahead of me! I was thankful for once to hear those eerie alarms. The smoke in the plane reduced once I made my way to the front of the aircraft, but time was still ticking.

[75 seconds until collision]

I know; shut up! I screamed at the voice in my head as I pushed the door open. I struggled against it briefly until I didn't! My sheer determination allowed me to rip it apart and make myself home, where I found two sleeping humans chilling as they were about to become splats on the face of the earth.

[60 seconds until impact]

Ahhhh!! Shut up! Once I got in and saw the pilots knocked out, I began to think about how I would get them out safely. I can't just grab them and fly with them, pulling over 18 G's on their bodies! They will immediately die! I analyzed my options as I tried to wake them up by repeatedly slapping them until they both woke up.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

[50 seconds until impact]

"What the?!" They both reacted frantically as they saw me slapping the crap out of them.

"Hi! Care to come with me? I'm kind of saving your life right now." I said as I grabbed a piece of metal from the broken door.

"How did you even get here?! Are you an alien?!" Oh my god, why did I wake them up again? Oh, yeah, I need them to hold on tight to me so they don't die.

"Yeah, I'm a Wonder Woman now, come on!" We literally had no time to be fooling around, so I soon walked outside the cockpit, heading straight to the boarding side door that was closest to the cockpit.

[40 seconds]

As I knew what happened the last time I opened a plane door, I now carefully opened the new door with a piece of metal instead of my hands. Unsurprisingly, the metal bar I used to prior open the door went flying out as soon as I popped it open, but I was ready for it. The humans, however...

"Woaahhh!!!" They both screamed as they got sucked out of the plane. I wanted to use my jet pilot's expression when I tried to ask him more questions.

[30 seconds]

Without further ado, I launched outside the plane, now on a mission to catch the humans before they crashed. Thankfully, they fell slower than the plane, so I quickly found them free-falling a couple meters away from the plane.

First, I caught up with one of them by hugging them. After securing him, I ordered him to brace himself on my back as I searched for the other, a little farther away. The other guy was more competent by falling in a cross pattern, which was vital for buying me time as the first guy took his sweet time to get on my back.

[20 seconds]

Once I was sure the guy on my back was stable, I calculated my next move to pull as little as 5 to 6 G's tops so he wouldn't pass out, but I also wouldn't miss the other guy, and luckily, my calculations were just perfect for catching the second guy.

"AHHHHHHH!!!" I heard the guy in my back screaming in my ear as we accelerated from base to almost 500 mph in about five seconds. I was sure the forces were great, but I held on tight to his arm as I stretched my other one to catch up with the other guy.

Once we were closer to him, I carefully pointed for him to free fall a little so I could catch him up more quickly. To my surprise, the guy understood the task. Putting blind trust in me, he fell for five seconds until I snatched him with a hug and a slow forward pull instead of directly upwards.

My force calculator was set on 6 G's tops, so my abilities were highly restricted. Still, I finally managed the situation before becoming splats in the ground. Our flight partner stabilized at one hundred feet as I slowly reduced our flying speed.

As for the plane, well, it wasn't meant to make it, so it simply exploded once it crashed against the ground just a couple miles away from us. I could finally breathe a sigh of relief as the two men held on to me for dear life, still confused at what happened.

"Thank you! Unknown flying android, you saved us!" "These machines are sure pretty." "It's got a thick ass too! So realistic!" "Her breasts are also squishy!"

They both began to talk about me as if I were a heartless machine, which I technically am, but that's not the point! What a rude way to say thank you! I chose to scare the crap out of them as I made my way to the ground. I simply mustered comment.

"I could understand that last part. Touch me slightly indecently; see what happens."

Both began to sweat coldly as I finally landed with them, still not letting go of me until I told them to let me go. I had to return to my crew. After all, I couldn't worry about two random dudes, so what if they were stranded in the middle of the desert?! That's their problem, not mine!
