PART 1
From his Viewpoint on the grassy hill the Vindicare Assassin, had a perfect view into the Building's main office even though it was night time, his target a 'would be Assassin'.
The High Governor was suspected to be a target for a local paramilitary group.
Gunner lowered his Exitus rifle for the briefest of moments he had been in his current position for the last three days without sleep and almost on cue he started to drift off but, was sharply brought into focus when a woman entered the Governors' office.
"A secretary perhaps?" Gunner thought to himself.
He was taking no chances the brought the massive rifle close to his eye and waited he scanned the girls body she was no more than 18, about Gunner's age, with long brown hair, he lowered the rifle, "Another False alarm." he muttered to himself, he didn't think the girl was the assassin.
The Girl walked slowly towards just about striking distance away from the governor.
Gunner quickly raised the rifle once more; he flicked off the safety catch and made sure that the scope of his rifle was adjusted correctly.
To Gunner's disbelief the girl released a small blade no longer than her forearm from beneath her sleeve KA-THUM went the Exitus rifle's shot but with almost superhuman reflexes the girl ducked and as the governor span to face the shots origin the girl leapt at him the blade plunging into his neck.
To Gunners horror, as she withdrew the blade it instantaneously removed the blood from the itself, "Xenos" muttered Gunner once again to himself, he flicked the Huge Sniper Rifle's setting to semi-auto a loud KA-THUM, KA-THUM, KA-THUM followed, once again the girl ducked the first one cart-wheeled over the second and jumped over the final one, that first dodge wasn't just luck, surprised the Vindicare started to reload.
"Blasted four shot magazines" said Gunner Angrily as he swiftly reached for a new Magazine.
After reloading Gunner looked back at the window the girl was gone, typical, the assassin slung the heavy Exitus rifle over his shoulder and started to sprint into the city.
Despite it was night and there where no street lamps, Gunner navigated the city streets extremely well but he soon found he had taken a wrong turn into a dead end.
He also had a follower, Gunner heard footsteps behind him, he glanced over his shoulder and drew his Exitus pistol and turned around he brought the heavy pistol up to his eye.
A dark figure rounded the corner the way she stood covered her face with the shadows
"Who are you? What do you want with me?" Gunner demanded "Are you a Xenos, a Witch perhaps?"
The figure stayed quiet
"Answer me!" Gunner Shouted
"I am no less human than you my friend." Replied the figure her voice clear, calming and almost angelic,
"So then you are a Traitor!" Said Gunner as he raised the heavy pistol and allowed its slugs to warm up in the Barrel
"Typical" replied the Girl she darted towards Gunner as he pulled the trigger, the loud bark of the pistol followed, the bullet missed its target one again, the Girl had dodged the bullet by leaping over it and was positioned on a catwalk a good ten feet off the ground
"Not very accurate for a Vindicare" she mocked
"Maybe if you stood still" replied Gunner he fired the pistol once again and once again the shot missed
"Enough fooling around" she said she leapt off the cat walk "Gunner Se'dinh surrender you"
Gunner spat on the Ground
"It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees."
The girl slung her head
"I wish you hadn't said that"
the blade from beneath her slave unsheathed itself, Gunner Attempted to Strike the Girl with the Bottom of his pistol she blocked and struck where his forearm met his Elbow, Gunner heard a distinctive snap followed by an intense pain in his right arm,
he backed off by a few feet, with his left arm he unsheathed his long broad hunting knife, positioned near the small of his back it was a gift given to him by a Space Marine He once knew, it was one of Gunner's Few prized possessions,
He struck in a sweeping fashion across his body; the knife grazed underneath the girl's right eye buts did insufficient damage to deter her.
Backed into a corner Gunner felt vulnerable and threatened, the girl struck his chin, dazed she pinned him to the wall with her left arm Gunner's Knife Hit the Ground as he tried to struggle against the girl
"Do your worst" spluttered Gunner
"I intend to" replied the Girl, her blade retracted and was replaced with a needle containing a sickly green liquid, she stabbed it in his left temple she released him and backed off, Gunner stumbled for a few moments then he lost his balance and blacked out…
