Mercenary and Technician.
The Weapon Storage
Chapter 3
This won't end well, thought Eduardo.
After encountering two Space Pirates with wrist blasters ready to blast him apart with those things, Jyrr was no where to be seen, not that he's a coward but he may have witnessed this scene and is at this very moment figuring something up to help Eduardo, or so he hoped....
With that moment, the Space Pirates fired away with their blasters. Eduardo, with his quick reflexes, side rolled on the ground behind small crates which where instantly blown apart by the blaster fire, but once that happened, Eduardo was already on the move again by making cartwheels for few rounds successfully ending his pace with a successful flip behind some larger crates which where solid enough to withstand blaster fire. He landed successfully on prone position and thought,
'I hope you're done with whatever you're on to, Tech, cuz I could really need some help now!'
Just at that moment, gunshots where heard and Eduardo risked a peek over the crates. Jyrr had indeed been planning to do something and was executing it right now. During the moment, when the Space Pirates attacked Eduardo, Jyrr had climbed up above the highest shelf and had put in use a metallic cord with a grapplehook, which he had in his backpack, to put the one end's hook behind his utility belt and the other end on a loose crane which hanged from a rail on the ceiling. He has then jumped from the shelf, hanging from his back and using a pair of semi-automatic 9mm Glock pistols.
He was shooting rapidly at the pirates while flying forward in the air, but why would he do something like this? thought Eduardo.
There is a chance that his clips will run empty and then he'll be a sitting duck up there. Fortunately the pirates were too busy covering themselves from the bullets with their arms while blocking their sight, which gave Eduardo a new chance.
He leaped between the pirates and dropkicked one of the pirates in the face which fell on his back while while he gave the other a sharp jab with his fist on the pirate's stomach which got him winded out and fell on the ground clutching on his belly.
'What the Hell are you doing?!?' Eduardo yelled at Jyrr, 'You get yourself killed up there'
'Don't worry.' Jyrr yelled back at him. 'Its all under control', and with that, he was suddenly gliding backwards, back to the shelf, as if the mechanism which he hooked himself hanging from his back. Eduardo realized that Jyrr must've designed that hook mechanism and had it planed for a scenario like this. Always experimenting his devices, thought Eduardo. He planed to return to the shelf where he left his jacket and his backpack.
Suddenly, four other Space Pirates emerged from the entrance of the room and proceed to intercept Eduardo.
'Eduardo!' yelled Jyrr from the top of the shelf and tossed a gun to Eduardo which he grabbed with his right arm stretched his in the air and rolled the piece a couple of turns on his index finger and aimed his Desert Eagle towards the Pirates and dropped two of them with two well aimed shots, and avoided with a side roll for the responding blaster fire and proceeded to fell the other two once he got up on his feet.
Another gunshot was heard again and Eduardo turned around to see one of the previous two Space Pirates lying down on the floor with a smoking wound on its back and Jyrr with one of his Glocks still pointing in the air, smoking.
'Nice shot!' said Eduardo with a hint of gratitude and amazement.
'Thanks' Jyrr replied with a smile. But before a moment could pass, Eduardo aimed his Desert Eagle towards Jyrr and fired. The bullet swooshed past Jyrr's head and hit the other previous Space Pirate in between his eyes.
It fell slowly on its back. Jyrr took a look behind him with a nervous glance and turned back to Eduardo saying,
'Nice shot.'
'It's nothing.' Eduardo said
Jumping away from his momentarily shock, Jyrr explained to Eduardo that on top of the shelf, he saw a shaft on top of the ceiling which leads the floor above. The gunshots probably have alerted more pirates and Plagues so neither the exit nor entrance of this room are safe enough to proceed. With that agreement, they climbed on top of the shelf and proceeded inside the shaft which they climbed to the floor above...
