Chapter four: Battle for the city

Me: You know the drill by now I hope.

Tyber: Do we get to blow things up this chapter?

Me: Yes, lots and lots of death, destruction and mayhem.

Shadow: Good because this was getting boring.

Shadow got up from the place that they were hiding and started walking to the supposed terrorists. Tyber upon see what Shadow was planning smiled and thought, 'How did I not think of that?' at which point Tyber got up and followed Shadow.

Shadow then yelled to the terrorists, "Hey who are you?"

Then the terrorists started yelling in a language that Shadow did not recognize so he looked at Tyber and asked, "What are they saying?"

Tyber looked at them for a few seconds and his eyes started glowing for a few seconds and stopped, and then a few seconds after that said, "You may want to take cover."

Shadow looked at him confused, "Why?"

"Because they just sounded the alarm, and there should be guys coming out of that building with HMGs rocket and grenade launchers and maybe a flamethrower or two."

Tyber looked at Shadow who was stunned and asked, "What?"

Shadow looked at him like he had lost his mind, "How did you understand all that?"

Tyber smiled and responded, "I can read minds."

"Ok, why don't we take these guys that are outside on and then get the rest of them as they come out?"

Tyber smiled and said, "Sounds good to me."

Shadow looked at the building saw them coming looked at Tyber and said, "Here they come, how about a little game?"

"What did you have in mind?"

"The one with the most take downs wins the game."

"Loser has to do the paperwork?"

"Ok then, deal."

Tyber started with a classic punch to the face.

Shadow had a different approach; he impaled four with a Chaos Spear.

And Tyber, not wanting to be outdone launched his own spears impaling three.

And just after they finished the first group a second group came and this time they had guns.

"Ok then new plan, ranged attacks is advised for these." Tyber called out to Shadow.

Shadow realizing that although Tyber wanted to win, he didn't want to risk his partner's life to do so, nodded.

Shadow repeated what he started with last time, the Chaos Spear, and this time eight went down then he looked at Tyber, "Beat that."

"Ok then, you asked for it." Tyber then launched a Psionic Strike (a lightning bolt created by Psionics) that also knocked out eight.

At which twenty or so more terrorists came out of the building more heavily armed and armored then before.

Tyber getting look annoyance on his face said, "What is this place an anthill!"

Shadow also thinking the same thing responded, "Apparently so."

"Let's get rid of these guys quick, no telling how many are still in there."

Shadow nodded in agreement and proceeded to take out all of them with a Chaos Blast.

At which point Tyber heard shouting and yelling from behind them so he looked back, what he saw made him realize just how true his previous statement of "this place is an anthill" really was.

"Uh Shadow, there are more of them behind us and I've got these guys."

Tyber then demonstrated his ability to dominate the minds of his opponents, causing all twenty of the enemy soldiers to turn on each other. They were all dead in less than fifteen seconds.

Fifty terrorists then came out from both structures, all of them having even more weapons and armor than before. Which made both of Tyber and Shadow realize that this was no longer a competition, but a fight for survival.

Me: Wow longest chapter yet.

Shadow: Wow you were right, lots of death.

Tyber: Yeah finally some action.

Me: It will only get better in terms of fighting.

Shadow and Tyber: Yes!

Me: See what I have to put up with? And Dark Star is the name of the Project that Tyber's mother received her powers. And by P.O.V. is just how I switch between who is "on screen" at that moment.
