Death to Destiny

Ch. 10

Seth, Lambda, and the two scientists they had rescued were running through the maze of abandoned buildings that were located in front of a high security prison. This place was once actually used for housing but all the houses were full of asbestos so they were all abandoned and nobody had gotten around to tearing them down so the library used the many, and I mean many, alleyways that were in between the crammed buildings as a security zone that prevented prisoners from succeeding in their escape. The prison was still new though so the soldiers were about as savvy navigating the passageways as Seth was. "I think we're close," Seth said rounding a corner and decapitating a soldier as he spun around it.

Lambda stabbed the other soldier in the chest with her wrist blade. "Unable to confirm," she said in her emotionless voice.

"Yeah we definitely passed this place on our way here," Seth said pointing to a tall building that now had three snipers on the roof. "Remember up there? That's where we waited. We're almost out of this damn labyrinth…"

"I hope you're right, I want out of here and want to get to the outpost before this thing gets infected!" the wounded scientist said clutching his shoulder.

"You'll be fine," Seth said sighing. "I wish I could make my chains curve… I only have eye contact with the buildings face so I cannot take them out."

"Shall we repeat our previous action?" Lambda asked referring to the chains that they could actually maneuver.

"Sounds good to me," Seth said shrugging. "Problem is though that attack was exhausting to use…"

"Chances of survival are below sixty percent. Predicting… predicting… predicting… chances will increase to seventy if we follow through," Lambda said just as a bullet turned around the corner in a whiz and would've killed Seth if his shield hadn't protected his forehead. "Powerful Ars Magus wielder detected…"

Six more bullets followed around the corner and Seth pushed the two scientists out of the way before they were hit. "Show yourself coward!" Seth screamed to whoever was shooting at him.

Meanwhile inside a building about three hundred yards away and around the corner a single woman with violet eyes and medium length red hair had just fired another shot and used her power to telekinetically control it. Her power placed a part of her consciousness into her bullets, guided them with her mind, and took back her consciousness before impact. She held in her hands two glock pistols and spat in disgust as the female in their group slashed the bullet in two. "Lieutenant Lybra sir! Are they there?" one of the other three soldiers with her asked pumping his shotgun.

"They're close, the reports were right; my bullets can't even scratch the man in the jacket! It definitely is The Impregnable Human Shield…" Lybra Valencia said as she used the last of her bullets. "Damn…"

The other soldiers ran out into the street and were prepared to confront them. They were fools in Lybra's eyes; they would be mowed down like grass. She simply reloaded her guns and made for the roof, there she would be able to get the drop on them and be somewhat protected. The moment she reached the top she heard gunfire followed by the sound of metal breaking skin. She sighed and fired both her guns into the air once. Her vision instantly split into three parts, it could be a little distracting but hey no power is perfect, and she guided both her bullets towards the scientists, before her vision returned to normal she saw a clawed, dark gray hand reach up in front of them. "Shit!" she cursed to herself. She had failed to eliminate the targets. She wasn't sure why she had direct orders to eliminate the scientists before their jailbreakers but she guessed they had learned something very damaging to the NOL and they didn't want Sector Seven finding out no matter what. She pointed her guns into the air and fired again…

Back to focusing on Seth and Lambda's situation, Seth found himself shielding the scientists unable to move for fear that whoever was controlling the bullets would sense it. "We're completely pinned! If I move then whoever is in there is gonna take out these scientists and if you try to go inside then they can easily pick you off!" Seth exclaimed referring to Lambda.

"Lambda suggests controlled chains," Lambda well… suggested.

"I don't think there's enough seithr left in the air for that… I've depleted the seithr in the air here enough" Seth shouted as two bullets deflected off his chest. Fortunately the bullets were moving too fast so whoever was firing at them couldn't maneuver them around Seth head and strike the scientists. "Wait… I think I've got an idea…"

"Listening sequence activated," Lambda said beginning to listen intently as she sliced two more bullets to preserve Seths shield a little more.

"I think I can launch one more huge chain over the roof, if you can infuse it with energy I could use my swords spark ability to activate it and blow that building to bits!" Seth said as he took one bullet and Lambda sliced the other.

"Standing by until ally, 'Seth Kain', fulfills part one of plan," Lambda said ceasing all movement.

Slicing those bullets probably painted a target on her back so Seth reached as far back as he could and grazed the wall behind him with his fingertips and the moment he did a huge-ass chain launched itself up from the ground and he let gravity drape it over the building. Lybra rolled away from the chain and looked at it with surprise, she knew that the Impregnable Shield could summon chains but she had no idea how large they could be. "That was too close…" She was prepared to fire again, this time she'd take out the Impregnable Shield's female companion; she was getting on her nerves by slicing her bullets… Right before she pulled the trigger she noticed the chain start giving off an unnatural yellow glow. "What in the…?" Before she could finish blue electric shocks ran up the chain and, before she could react, there was a massive explosion.

With the building reduced to ruble Seth let his shield retract back into its original gauntlet state. He looked at the remnants of the building and saw somebody crawling amongst the debris, he was quite surprised they had survived the explosion but it didn't matter, this was bound to draw attention so he began to run from the site. "Reinitiating escape routine, secondary objective complete," Lambda said following close behind Seth allowing him to take lead as he was quite literally a shield.

Seth took a hard left down an alley and saw the fence that he had jumped in order to get through. But now there would be no stealth, just him touching it for two seconds and shattering it.

~Meanwhile

Lybra continued to crawl forward; she had lost her right hand in the explosion as well as the bottom part of her left leg. But her adrenaline kept her moving forward without feeling this pain. She saw her comrades, fellow soldiers of the NOL, run past her completely ignoring her. "Help…" she said weakly reaching out for them. They didn't pay her any heed and just kept running after the Impregnable Shield. "Please…" She coughed a spray of blood and reached out desperately. She couldn't maintain the strength to continue reaching out and her hand fell weakly. "Bastards… if I survive…" She coughed another fine mist of blood. "…then the NOL is my enemy…" She then passed out.

End chapter.

Lybra: Herro ^_^! I'm Lybra Valencia!

Me: -pats Lybra on head- Haha, yep she's the first of the two major original characters I plan on introducing! Power is telekinesis and she loves to use it on her bullets. Note that her weapon won't be two pistols for the entire book, one pistol and something else…

Lybra: Yey I'm a major character!

Seth: And she survived the explosion how…?

Me: Anime logic.

Seth: Right…

Lybra: -glowering intensely at Seth-

Lambda: Target bears hostile emotions, advising caution.

Me: Well one thing I can tell you is that her and Seth do know one another and that her and the second original character will not have any real interactions 'til the final segment.

Lybra: I wanna kill him… -points at Seth angrily-

Me: No fighting here! This is a peaceful place!

Lambda: Review confirmed…

Seth: -mixing coconut rum with cranberry juice and pineapple juice before downing it in one gulp- AZ… you are awesome and so is this drink!

Lybra: -muttering- Goddamn stupid-ass drunkard…

Me: No detailed response to what I said last week about a drunk Lambda… one thing I'd say though is that I would totally love to have a drunk Lambda!

Lambda: Any closing questions or remarks?

Me: Well, I was wondering if any my readers were any good at drawing 'cause I'd really like to see what Seth would look like when he was drawn (please also note that his fighting style will not stay as it is and he'll make an edit to it later in the book, it will affect his appearance). Well that's all for today! Peace out and wish The Ravens luck in the Superbowl tomorrow!
