Appleseed Fanfiction
Notes: I don't own Appleseed or any of the characters.
This is going to take place in the ruins of many cities as our team moves through the vast landscape looking for there Eden.
So expect a lot of gun, knife fights on all sides.
As well as some humor I hope.
This is about Briareos and Deunan as they try to live day by day.
Chapter 1 The fight
Briareos Hecatonchires POV
The night was cold, though I didn't feel it over my cyborg skin, my rabbit like ears would flicker to any sounds through a pair of eyes at the base of the ears would scan the room and its other companion. My side of my body leaning agents a crumbling wall supported by for corners of what use to be a building of some sort. I know I should be listening and scanning the bigger picture before me. Though half of my senses were on the sleeping form on the floor of our campsite.
I know this sounds harsh, maybe cruel in some way, though life was never easy for us, we had to fight for our meals. I don't mind fighting to live. Before I had no reason to live in the old days...
I was young and in the KGB, I went and did as I was told. Well until I had enough of the killing for no purpose than to kill for the money. Though that started to become a question of, is this right? That is when one night on a mission I should be doing I snuck into our captain's room. A pistol in my hand. I didn't stop to think if this was the right thing. I had a friend who was a spy and we worked together to get this bastard out of the picture. I am sure that someone else would have come and done the job. Though I guess I wanted to make sure he was dead. So with a quick pull of my finger over my trigger did the round pop.
The man in the bed didn't get up or stir. For the bullet went from his temple to the middle of his head. It was fine, with a quick glance I took off out of the room via the open window I came through in ...
That is when my thoughts of the past were interrupted. The sound of other heartbeats started to echo in my inner ears. " Deunan" I spoke softly but loud enough for my partner to hear me. My two pair of eyes would be watching her bold up at the base of my rabbit-like ears. " We got company, " I say.
I would move smoothly through the actions of scanning the area. The sounds of the heartbeat getting closer. Soon I was picking up the sounds of talking. I hear a male voice spoke up. " You sure they went this way ?" I didn't give it much thought. I knew they were talking about us. I watch as my partner and point man started to gather our things. Putting on armor that has seen worst.
" How many Bri?" I hear her say. I knew that she wanted to make sure we had the upper hand. So did I. ".. Four, " I say it responds to her question. " Group to... " I stop as I hear them ordering for them to split up. " Never mind .. they are splitting up into two groups .. " I say to the short haired blonde girl.
" Damm...which way ?" I hear her say... " One group is going south, the other west .. they are moving in a partnering." I would say in response. I would look over to see the best places to get the upper hand " Go west onto that building over their " I say pointing to the spot " And don't be seen " I say." Don't need you getting your self-killed before the missions even start " I say to her.
DEUNAN KNUTE POV
I didn't realize how much time has passed. We were on the move again. My short sleep disturbed not cause of my man. Though that was a nice thought as I rounded the corner of an old building. My hands wrapped around my pistol.
How long has it been? I lost track. My thoughts were running as I took a glance over my shoulder. I am the point man. I needed to be ready to fire my gun at the enemy. Regardless if that enemy was man or child. Her heart beating in her chest was the only thing I was hearing.
I took a deep breath as my muscles got into the motion. I hated to admit that I wanted to find peace. Though I knew that was going to be stretching .. wait I need to stop thinking. I need to move, my headset would go off slightly as the static of my partner comes through.
I would take off with quick speed just in time to see two figures. One was looking straight ahead as the other was looking everywhere. "There she is !" The one looking straight called out. I didn't give it time to think. I only took action. I would hear the loud sound of my gun going off. The gunpowder going into my lungs as my first target when down hard. The other target would take aim and fire as I duck behind the wall once more. I knew I had to keep moving. Firing my weapon at the enemy. I would take out a small mirror on a thin wire to peek out of the corner. To only lose the damn thing from the firing of the other person. " What do you want ?" I hear my self-saying.
I didn't know if the person would answer me or not. Though at this point I didn't give a flying fuck what they said. I know a lot of people are struggling to survive. To keep on moving and living. If you call slumming it in the old fallen city's living. I know my partner was watching. Though something was now off. ". Bri .. " I hear my self-say. I can hear something coming, though I couldn't put a finger on it What was it?
I didn't need long to find out. " Damn it .. " I hear Briareos shout in my earpiece. " what the fuck is going on ?" I yell back. Not knowing what was going on made my mouth sour. I took a deep breath as I get ready to ditch my spot of cover. As I did I would hear something like crashing debris. Though that would be an understatement. Everything around them was falling into peace. One way or another, all I know is we had to move it .. and taken this opportunity to run in the open as the gun firing at me. I can feel the gunshots hitting the old plaster being blown off by the hard shell of the bullets fly into the battered old building.
" Damn it." I hear my self-say. I am sure Bri is trying to give me as much cover as possible. Though something seemed to be off. "What are we missing?" I am thinking to my self. I feel the impact of the ground as I somersaulted to the other side of the broken down building. I pull up my pistol once more as I lean over once I completed my somersault. My finger pulling the trigger as I take one of the men down. Though it seemed to hit the mark." Damn .. " I curse my self. I wasn't feeling the best at the moment. With little to no medicine out in the badlands made fighting wounds, we got on the battlefield. Well, mostly my self. " Deunan " I hear my name being called as the person went sailing from an unseen bullet hitting the male between the eyes. "What are you doing? Get your ass moving." I hear my partner call out. " What now ?" I ask back. Though another round of gunfire and a.. grenade exploded close by.
