Chapter 4: Omnicorp gets seiged (W)

I'm not sure what's with Ruby, she talks about this world she's in, and i don't know if she's making it up. But i didn't have time to ask, because we were heading to the town.

Omnicorp town was established in 2014 A.O. (it stands for After Oblivion, an event that destroyed everything, and killed millions, but that's a long story), it was named after the corporation itself, their purpose was to protect the people from criminals, using robots as cops. One of their latest product was Robocop, a man who was injured and then became half robot. But in 2025 (last year) a crime organization invaded that place and now Omnicorp was history…again.

We arrived at a far side, where we could see the town, and the large smoke cloud, that seemed to come from a volcano.

"Hey Carol, you're just in time." there was David Walker, also known as Hesh. he had his face painted black with a shape of a white skull. He was wearing a vested uniform, with several magnum loads for a shotgun and assault rifle.

"We already set up your place, follow me." he said, I did notice before that Ruby blushed when he talked earlier, but that's what he did to almost every new girl, including me. We walked down the street past the motel, and saw the small town itself, of course they did have a tower but that one was completely wrecked. There wasn't much to look around, lots of buildings still stand, but they have broken down roofs or doors. and several ruined cars were around. Down the first street, we saw an alien hive.

"Right here, she's all yours." hesh said, and he gave us a mechanical device, "you got to let the drill do it's work, and make sure to protect it, in the meantime, i'll be in the chopper, giving you girls support." he left using the way we came from.

I start to prepare the drill, it strap itself on, and planted itself on the hive. The drill was smoking right now, then a screeching sound came up, the aliens were coming here.

"This can't be good." Ruby said.

I said "you got that right, get ready."

The thunder roared, as they appeared one by one. They were the same ones from earlier, i came to the one from the building and slashed the neck. Another came in by surprise, but I slash him down. More came from the rooftop, and another from the balcony of the small building. There was a turrent nearby, which was lucky, i activated it and it started firing, while i start to handle the one from behind. He was a piece of work, good for me.

The turrent was aiming at almost anything, but it finally saw the alien on the rooftop. it fired twice on it, killing it instantly. The turrent fired at a distance. Another one came from the stairwell, but Ruby took out her scythe/sniper rifle (or Crescent rose, as she preferred to call it), and slashed on the back of the alien. more appered, before the turrent can fire, Ruby shot both of them down to the ground.

One of them hopped here, and the turrent went crazy trying to shoot it. Ruby turned her scythe into a gun, and fired on the aliens. I kept slashing them apart, to buy us some time. But somehow, the alien got itself on the drill, and start to bite it open. Ruby fired repeatedly on it, before killing it with her scythe intact. I didn't know how long we can keep this up, my rapier turn it's wheel on to the light blue side, and fired five ice arrows at the alien jumping from the roof. I used my glyphs and stuck the alien on it's back.

At that moment, the hive exploded and splattered orange blood all over us.

"Ew, what's with this stuff." Ruby said, flubbing her arms all over, trying to get it off.

I replied "i don't know or care." i grabbed the drill, which was now disassembled, "come on, Ruby." i start to run, bringing the drill along. Ruby was unexpectedly good with this sort of thing, i gotta admit. We were at the other street, where a barrier hive was blocking the alleyway entrance.

"Are we supposed to drill this thing?" Ruby asked.

"No, it's too large enough for it to make any progress." i said.

Then hesh's voice came on my comn, "You guys have to cover me, causes there's scorpions all over the place."

"We're on it." i turned to Ruby, "Get to the rooftops and take down those aliens."

"On it!" she fired her rifle at the ground and landed at the desolated point. So it was just me with the hive, and the other aliens that are soon approaching. Two came at me, but I dodge the first one's pounce attack and slashed on the second one's back, then headed to the first one. Once i made short work of it, i saw ruby attacking the large alien tailed creature, it had a large jaw, and had yellowish veins. Ruby stabbed the thing down, then proceeded to the next roof.

I looked at the next roof, where a scorpion was flinging it's tail, and releasing a gas cloud at the helicopter, it swayed to the side. The scorpion suddenly flipped on it's front, and fell to the ground, dead. I heard Ruby on my common, "Weiss, are those things supposed to do that?"

"It's Carol, and no they can't do that." I said, kinda surprised and a bit speculated.

Hesh said "Girls, what the Hot Fuzz just happened?" he shouted.

"I don't know.."

Then ruby flew past me and landed on her back, very hard. As she strugged to get up, she turned to my six, and i saw them, the Federation's best scouts.

Lucy Swan and Christina Sandler.

Lucy was a blonde, with two bracelet looking shotguns, and Christina had black hair and a katana/sheath/pistol weapon.

"Did you miss us?" christina said.

I respond to her "yeah, a lot!" i armed my rapier and prepared myself.

Ruby looked a bit surprised, then she said something a bit unexpected. "Blake, Yang, what are you doing!?"
