Make Some Noise (Danger days)

Hi welcome to the first actual chapter.

"Well?" Fun Ghoul stood there in the diner wearing a khaki jacket over his yellow shirt, his face covered by a worn out Frankenstein mask and night vision goggles.

Party Poison and Kobra Kid sat around the coffee table painting a motorbike helmet yellow with red and blue stripes.

"Not bad." Kobra mumbled. "Have you named it yet?"
"It needs a name?" Ghoul scratched his head. "Uh, the Frankuloid mask I guess." He said. "Poison? What do you think?"
"You need to strut a bit more when showing off your fashion Ghoul or I can't take you seriously." Poison said. Ghoul flicked his hands around and attempted to strut over to them then taking the mask off his face. "Satisfied?"
Poison nodded. "You look great." He said. "I painted your ray gun. Hope you like it. Your's is done too Kobra" He chucked them the guns. Kobra's gun was red with white stripes and 'Deluxe' drawn in cursive.

Ghoul looked over his ray gun, it had been painted green with the word 'horror' on the right side.
"This is fuckin shiny." He exclaimed.
"It's more matte actually."
"It's a metaphor Kobra."

Jet Star came in. "What's up dudes?" He saw Kobra and Poison drying the helmet with broken hairdryers.
"Um, guys. You know that's a really inefficient way to dry that right?"
"Really? How's that?" Poison continued running the hairdryer over the helmet.
"The diner's electric system has low voltage. You can't effectively use a hairdryer."
"How do you suggest that we do it then?"
"Just leave it on the roof till we get back." Jet said.
"Ooh have we got a mission?" Kobra asked.
"Yeah. Were taking down the last BLI security cameras in Zone 2."
Ghoul squealed and almost jumped on the spot. He ran into the supply closet and came out with a handful of baseball bats." The others looked on, confused.
"What."
"Well if we have an important mission we may as well make it fun." Ghoul said, throwing a bat at everyone. Poisons confusion slowly turned into a grin. "I bags driving!" He ran out. Kobra grabbed the helmet and followed.
"Please no." Jet sighed.
"Whoo!! Fuck yeah!" Ghoul sprinted out after them. Jet rolled his eyes and walked out too.

Kobra chucked the helmet onto the roof and hopped into the TransAm.
"Jet get in the car." He said. Jet grumbled but got in the back seat next to Kobra kid.

Fun Ghoul stood in his seat swinging a hit at the small metal probes poking out of the sand. Forcing the cameras off the stands as Poison had the car going at 80mph.

"Kobra your turn now." Ghoul pointed to the row of cameras on the other side of the car. He stood and periodically smashed them as they sped past.
"Jet you wanna go?" He offered the bat. He sighed.
"Why not." He took the bat, stood up and whacked down a bunch more cameras. He didn't hear the first few times they yelled at him to stop before he had hit more than spy cameras.

"Jet, stop!" Ghoul shouted before a letterbox flew off its post and hit him square in the face. Jet grimaced and bit his lip.
"Fuck!!" Ghoul yelled. "Fuck man I'm bleeding everywhere." He winced.
"Sorry." Jet whispered.

"Pull over." He told Poison. "Pull over!" He punched him on the arm.
"Ok, ok keep your hair on." He skidded the car into a stop, knocking over another letterbox in the process.
"Shit!"

Ghoul staggered out onto the ground, leaning over his knees bleeding onto the desert.

Poison ran out after him. Trying to help get the bleeding under control.
"Oh God man this is pretty bad." He was panicking slightly. Jet rushed over.
"Fuck man I'm sorry." He said.
"Get off." Ghoul mumbled.
"Seriously? You can be mad at me Ghoul but you're gonna bleed out if you don't let me help." He told him.
"I said get off me!" He pushed him back.
"Steady on Ghoul you're being an asshole now." Poison said. "Ow fuck!" He yelled as Ghoul punched him in the face. Poison shoved him over. Then he got shoved back. Repeated over until Jet broke them up.

"Right. Ghoul, get in the back. Poison you're in the passenger seat. I'm driving us home." He said. "Kobra make sure he doesn't commit murder."

An uncomfortable silence followed them home. Ghoul glared intensely at the floor while Kobra Kid kept a cautious eye on him while finally getting the blood under control.

Poison stared out the window at the sunset. The bruises from the fight showing up on his face and neck.

They pulled up to the diner. Almost immediately Ghoul left the car and stormed inside.
Kobra got up to grab his helmet off the roof. Poison lingered in the car for a bit before he too left.

Poison stared into the bathroom mirror, his left cheekbone purple and slightly swollen. He stood there trying to clean the dirt off his face when Kobra came in wearing his yellow motorbike helmet. The visor with 'GOOD LUCK' written across it flipped up, revealing his brother's face.
"Hey." Poison turned towards him.
Kobra removed the helmet, wrapped his arms around him, Poison hugged back.

"How did this happen?" Kobra asked, not really expecting an answer.
"I don't know, crazy shit happens to us."
Kobra laughed slightly. "That's true."

They both looked towards the door as they heard the screaming. They moved to the bathroom doorway watching Jet and Ghoul come in biting each other's heads off.

"You're being such an asshole right now!" Jet slammed the front door.
"You're the one that hit me with a letterbox!" Ghoul screamed back.
"For fucks sake that was an accident!"
"I could have died!"
"It was your idea to use the baseball bats in the first place. You're still alive and I apologized, why does this have to be a big deal?"
"I'm gonna blow your legs off with a landmine." Ghoul scowled.
"Stop being a brat." Jet said. "Where are you even going to get a landmine anyway?"

"What the fuck is going on here?" Cherri Cola came into the room. "Ghoul put the ray gun down." He lowered the gun away from Jet and dropped it. As it hit the floor it went off, almost hitting Show Pony as they came through the door. They squeaked and jumped about a foot in the air.
"The fuck?" They put their ray gun away. "Come on Crash Queens Dr. Death Defying is back. Calm down seriously. Show some respect. "

A bearded guy with long dark hair came in on an motorized wheelchair.
"These are some guys we picked up a while ago." Cherri told him.
"What have you four been up to?" He asked. They mumbled out a variety of different answers.
"We went on a few missions." Jet offered.
"We have a car." Said Poison.
"I can shoot things." Ghoul stated.
"I fixed one of your VendaHacks." Kobra mumbled.
Dr. Death Defying nodded.
"I'll grab us all some food." Cherri said. Going off to the kitchen.

They all sat around the diner eating cans of Power Pup. Poison sat next to Show Pony and Kobra Kid on the kitchen island, Jet Star and Fun Ghoul sat on opposite ends of the sofa with Cherri in between them so they didn't attack each other.

"Bad news I'm afraid." Said Dr. Death. "Almost all of the Neutral towns in Zone 1 have been bombed to the ground." Jet looked at his shoes, biting his lip. Cherri patted him on the back sympathetically.
"BLI is after something." He continued.
"They must be paranoid about it if they're going around destroying Neutrals." Show Pony murmured.
"Do you think it's her?" Cherri asked.
"Maybe." Dr. Death said. "Maybe."
