Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone Page #3

---

Smells like somebody died in here.

They probably did.

Wait here.

Looks okay. Bring up the gear.

Why do they call you Wolff?

That's my name.

Good name for you.

You don't care about my name.

I can see why you got no friends.|You don't like nothin"'."

Haven't you liked anything?|Like a dog or a goat?

My name's Niki.

I don't know about a last name.|Sometimes they call me Niki the Twister...

"...'"cause I can wriggle into little places.

Yeah, I've noticed.

Surprised you ain't making me sleep|someplace else.

I'd probably miss|your sparkling conversation.

Really?

What was that?

Nothing. Go to sleep.

-No, I'm telling you, I heard something.|-And I'm telling you, there's--

-You're behind me, right?|-Yeah, keep going.

Yeah, but there's somethin'--

-What now?|-I'm thinking.

Think a little faster.

This way.

Okay, do me a favor.|Grab onto that cable and just jump, okay?

Jump? Are you kidding me?

I'll take my chances with that bat thing.|Maybe not.

Do me a favor and just jump, okay?

I can't move.

Here, I'll make it easy for you.

Okay?

So long, suckers!

Great Overdog, how can I prepare you|for the treat you have in store?

What is it this time, Chemist?

Three times beauty, youth, and energy.

What gifts for the great Overdog.

Gifts? What gifts?

They are my basic needs.

And they will fulfill your needs|much better than the last ones.

Earth girls?

You are pleased, Your Radiance?

You will know when I'm not pleased.

Out!

Shall I wait outside?

Out!

Bring them to me.

Closer!

That one!

The one in the center.

Undress her.

Slowly!

Yes.

Yes.

In case I forgot to tell you,|this thing doesn't float.

There's shallows in here.|You just gotta look for 'em.

I'll track you.

Shallows are on that side.

Second bath in two days.|Ought to do me for the next year.

Niki?

Niki?

Good breeding-man.

I'll bet breeding with us would kill him.

I'll take that bet.

Get your hands off me,|you sleazy slime-bag!

-Look!|-I love this planet.

Get away from here! Eat him!

No, get him! He's bigger!

-What about me?|-Sorry, kid.

Oh, God! Come on!

Up there. The tunnel.

I love your planet.

Does your guided tour include|getting me back to my scrambler...

...without doing battle|with a bunch of Amazons and dragons?

You always gotta use|those scazzy words, don't you?

You think I don't know which way to go?

I'll show you which way to go.|With no swimming women or dragmen.

Come on!

"Water, water everywhere,|and not a drop to drink"."

What's that?

It's a poem. The first poem you learn|in high school.

What's high school?

It's where you should be.|It's where you learn things.

I don't have to go no place to brainwork|that that stuff's poison.

That's what I just said.

You got any water?

What say? I see your mouth moving,|but I can't hear a word you sayin"'."

I went swimming yesterday,|diving for my gun.

I got all this water in my ear.

Cut the sh*t, Washington. She needs help.

Wolff and his partner.

I sure am happy to run into you like this.|After I got my wheels unstuck...

...I followed your tracks through|that tunnel, found your vehicle...

...towed it back out, and drove out here|looking for you.

I thought you'd changed your mind|about the rescue...

...and gotten married or something.

-Washington, give her some water.|-Water, yeah.

Good. Good.

Okay, you get what you want.

Just give me the water.

Here's the deal.|You help me go in and get the girls...

...l'll give you 750 Megacredits.

You fly us all out of here,|I throw in another 200.

That's almost 1,000 Megacredits.

And I'm only being this generous,|because of our former friendship.

What former friendship?

Look, Wolff--

Why would you need me|to fly you out of here, Sector Chief?

I hit a particle storm...

...sustained engine damage.

I had some problems landing my ship.

It could happen to anybody.

The point is, I'm giving you a chance|to make some extra money.

You need my ship for transportation...

...or else you're stuck here, aren't you?

The deal is 50-50, or nothing.

That skrotter ain't worth 50 fifties.

That's true.

Wolff, you're a goddamn thief.

Boy, when I get my 50 percent,|I'm gonna get over to Kuralla Three...

...order me one of them custom androids.

I mean, a real hot one.|In fact, I'm getting two...

...twins. Hey, Wolff, what about you?

I don't know, maybe--

I haven't figured out|what I'll do with my half yet.

Your half? What's she talking about?

I get it. I track you two to the Zone,|and then you pick up those Earth-fraulies...

...then it's so long.

My big thrill is to look up and wave|while you two go shottin' across the sky.

Thank you. It's been a real charge in|my life just hanging around for a few days.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

If you think our deal is for me to baby-sit|you for the next 200 years...

...you're dreamin"'." I don't remember|us saying anything about adoption.

Don't let him get to you.|He's just a space tramp.

A loner. I mean, most of us like|to have some time on our own...

...but a guy like Wolff,|he don't know nothing else.

Yeah, but us loners gotta stick together.

Maybe so.

Partner.

Look...

...if after we finish this...

...you want a lift...

...to another planet or something,|just say so, okay?

Yeah, maybe I gotta think about it first.

Hey! Something's coming.

What do those skrot-bags want?

This is the only safe down place|before the Zone.

Wash!

You track well, Earther.

You know these two?

Yeah. We met on a train.

You're welcome to sleep here.

We don't need your permission, Earther.|We do as we want.

Do you find them as charming as I do?

Let's kill 'em to be on the safe side.

No, it's okay.|They haven't done anything, yet.

You Zone-pointed?

For the Graveyard.

With what brainworking?

Death for Overdog!

Wolff, these boys are sincere.|They're just gonna frag us up.

Let's blast 'em now,|and get to know 'em later.

Just relax. Maybe we can work together.

Why, they're children, aren't they?

The Overdog did this, and the Chemist,|with their germ-works.

To children?

This whole planet gives me the creeps.

Let's get the hell out of here!

What the hell are you waiting for?

The blade's gone. Those two hotheads|are gonna go into the Zone blasting.

By the time we roll up,|every guard will be armed and waiting.

If you can get this thing fixed,|maybe we can catch up.

In the old days, you'd have blasted them|without blinking.

You're losing your edge.

I am not losing my edge. I'm just trying|to do things a little smarter these days.

Smarter? Being lead by a Scav girl,|barely out of diapers?

I'm not a Scav girl,|and I'm not out of my diapers.

Stop it!

Let's get this heap fixed and then try|to figure out how to hit the Graveyard.

Which none of us has ever seen.

I've seen it.

From far away.

See, I told you I'd track you.|And no guards around here.

You, quiet! And stay in there!

Serum papers.

Serum papers?

In my boot.

Are you ready?

Let the games begin!

-Now!|-Impressive looking son of a b*tch!
