Melody Jones, Pt. 2: Betrayal
Mission 10: New York
Act 4: Underground Sewers
Operative: Melody Jones
INCOMING FROM CHRIS JONES OF THE HOMEFRONT WARRIORS
"The woman who saved you and your newfound allies was Sonya Blade, Cassie's mother and general of the Special Forces. The floor collapsed and you've fallen through, down the sewers underneath the building."
"Follow Sonya through the sewers to get to the chopper."
"Cassie. Following orders as usual, I see," said Sonya.
"What are you doing here, mom?"
"I know about this operation, young lady. You could've waited for me."
"Guys, we need to get to the chopper," said Melody. "You two can argue later."
"Sorry. Melody, I need you to follow me. Threat out is on the left."
Melody and her allies followed Sonya. Each of them fought agents throughout the sewers. Eventually they made it into a parking garage.
"Have your men secure the garage," said Stevens. "I'll be at Jones' chopper."
"I don't think so, Stevens.
"Get her!"
The allies made quick work.
"Stevens, call off your men and we can settle this here!"
"Very macho, Melody. Rule number one of war is superior numbers will win the day."
A massive gunfight ensued. After ten minutes of bullets and blood, they proceeded to the next level of the garage. Melody avoided a black can that almost hit her. The fight continued.
"Melody, there's too many guys holed up in that landing. I'll smoke them out while you finish them," said Sonya, carrying a smoke grenade. Melody nodded and Sonya tossed the grenade. A cloud of gold smoke filled the outside area. Melody used the M16 to spray upon them.
"Let's split up," said Melody. "Cassie, you're with me. Sonya, Chris and Jill need medical assistance."
"As soon as we get out of here, well patch them up."
Melody and Cassie went up the stars, fighting more agency members along the way. They entered the next level in the garage. Stevens was being chased by Cassie from the stairway and both girls quickly cornered him.
"Damn you, Jones!"
"No. Fuck you!"
She shot him in the head.
"You're... too late... the vaccine... she's dead..."
"Wrong, Stevens. I have the vaccine. I've saved my partner, and you are just an old piece of shit crossed off the Melody Jones list."
"That's it. That's the end if the Agency," said Cassie.
"Somehow, I doubt it. Let's get the vaccine to Sheva."
They made it outside to the parking lot.
"Da fuck? Who started this chopper? Melody, watch out!"
Cassie shot an armored agent with her Springfield Armory XDm but it had no effect. The agent shot Cassie with a silenced Heckler & Koch MP7A1.
"CASSIE!"
Sonya and the BSAA agents arrived at the scene. Sonya sees Cassie on the ground, losing blood.
"Cassie! YOU BASTARD!'
""I'm wearing full body armor, Melody. You cannot hurt me."
"Chance!"
Jason Chance, an lieutenant of the CPDC, had been a member of the agency the whole time! Him and Melody walked circles around each other.
"You don't sound surprised."
"I'm not. All the time in Colorado, the agency seemed to know what I was doing before I did! Our route down the mountain, my direction on the highway, the train and the labs. You were dressed in a hospital gown so they could lock me up with you in case the drugs didn't work."
"No secret from old friends."
"When the transport arrived, I sent you to secure it. Then Sheva got captured. You turned her over to them."
"I told them where she was and secured the test subject for trades. I was just doing my job, Melody. That's all. My job."
"Your job? My men under my command trusted you with their lives! "
"I eliminate expendable targets on the line of duty as per my orders."
"I know the rhetoric. It doesn't change what you are."
"What we are, Melody. How many men did you kill? All of them were just doing their jobs as well. Did they deserve to die?"
"I've had blood on my hands, and it haunts me to know that killing them was not my objective. But my code of honor from the Homefront Warriors is to protect the innocent."
"Your "Homefront Warriors" are nothing but jokes, Melody! Without them, you have no purpose. Me? I'm just doing what I was trained to do!"
"So was I! Get that thing out of my face!"
Melody backhanded the gun out of Chance's hand, but he kicked her in the face in retaliation. He then pulls out an Daewoo USAS-12 auto shotgun.
"Let's dance!"
