Chapter 53
(R'S POV)
It was me, Midnight, Carlos and some chick who's name I forgot. We were at the vantage point ready to intercept our targets.
"Rival assassins…They just might be the assholes that killed Karren!" Midnight growled.
"Relax dude. We gotta wait till Blake gives us the go-ahead." I told him.I looked over at Carlos and the other girl. "Ok. We are the new team Arsenal. Just follow me and Midnight's lead."
The girl chuckled and walked up to me. "Relax. I've been doing this for quite some time now." Those were her first words of the night.
"Uh, ok." I noticed something about her voice that seemed really attractive to me. I quickly shook those thoughts away. I'm a committed man! I could never even think about two timing my lady! I mentally kicked myself.
"Uh guys. We got activity going on down there." Carlos spoke from his spot on the roof.
Just then, Blake's voice rang out to us. "Positions people! It's go time!"
I materialized my sniper rifle and took aim. I looked down the scope to see any suspicious figures. I looked back towards Midnight. "Midnight, move in! Tangos are flooding inside of the White House! MOVE!" I commanded. "Carlos, other girl, cover his flank. We'll regroup in the West wing."
My team flew forward and I vanish stepped ahead of them, crashing through the window. I landed inside of the bedroom of the White House. Right away, I saw the president and his family. The two secret service guys pointed their guns at me. I vanished behind them and knocked them both out.
"Who the hell are you?!" The President asked.
"Shut up and stay hidden. I'm better protection than the secret service." I said
He nodded and ran off to the closet with his family. Now it was just a matter of time.
(MIDNIGHT'S POV)
I charged through the front door and GODDAMN it was a massacre. Bodies of the secret service were littered all over the place. It was a fucking gore fest. On the top of the steps were three masked figures. One of them was holding a guard by the throat. His hood covered the top half of his mask. I noticed that he was the bloodiest one out of the trio.
"Please just let me go! I got a family to feed!" The guard begged.
"Should've thought about that before you took this risky ass job." The figure with the half mask stated.
"Put him down!" I shouted at them as I materialized my M16.
Before I knew what happened, a sharp, bladed tail lunged out and pierced the poor bastard straight through the chest. The tailed freak tossed the limp body directly in front of me.
"Look who's joining us tonight, Jackal! It's the shitcocks from the AOF." Said the guy with the half mask.
The female in their group just sighed and looked in my direction. "Can we just kill them and be done with it already." She said with a bored expression while pulling up her sleeve revealing her bladed glove. She leapt up into the air and dived down at me. I side stepped out of the way and shot at her. She quickly dipped and dodged my many bullets. She went to pounce on me but was shoulder charged by Carlos. The bitch got sent flying in the air. She twisted herself gracefully and landed on her feet.
I looked at Carlos with a questioning glance. "Aren't you gonna suit up or something?"
Carlos smirked and banged his fist against the center of his chest. With a flash of light, he was transformed into some high tech cyborg. "Sorry mi hermano. This is what I really look like."
"Holy shit!" I said, surprised. Dude was a fucking cyborg!
"Big fucking deal!" Said the bitch. She dropped down and went for a few swings. That did nothing against Carlos though. He just stood there and took them. The weird girl then did a real aerial front flip dropkick to the bitch.
"Aww c'mon Melina. Getting your ass kicked already?" Stated the half masked man. The chick snapped and glared at him.
"Fuck off shrimp dick!" She yelled at him.
"Well shit. C'mon Jackal. Let's go help the bitch in need." Half mask guy said, chuckling.
The other two landed harshly on the ground. "Three on three? Fine by me!" I said.
(R'S POV)
There was a loud bang on the door. I stayed silent. A couple of seconds later, the door was busted wide open and two dark figures appeared. Right away, I activated my Gauntlets and looked at my enemies.
"Not sure who you are, but you screwed up by coming here!" I said through grit teeth.
"Only one of you is gonna try and stop us? A foolish mistake." Said the taller one. He looked at his partner for a moment. "You want first dibs or should I handle him?"
"...I don't care." The shorter one replied.
"Well then in that case, I'll handle him myself. You search for the president." The taller one ordered.
"Yeah yeah, whatever!" The short one said.
"I won't let you!" I said. Where the hell were the others at?! We were supposed to meet up here. They must've ran into the other hostiles. This whole thing was already not going as planned.
I was snapped outta my thoughts when a black boot collided with my chin. I staggered back into a wall.
"Fine. I guess it's fight time." I had to get the group together so I punched the ground with my Gauntlet cladded fists, breaking the floor beneath us. We landed in the White House lobby. The first thing I saw was an all out brawl between both my team and the enemies. My two adversaries forced themselves to their feet.
"Pretty daring move. Smart of you to keep us away from the president." The tall one said. He looked over towards the short one. "DayBreak. We got a change of plans. You take the kid, while I finish the task." The short one shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward and faced me.
Before the other could get away, an arrow flew right past me and struck him in the bicep. "The fuck?!" He hissed. Then a figure appeared right in front of me. One I didn't expect to see right now. I was speechless.
"It's you!" I said surprised. "But how did you-"
"Blake called me. I wasn't sure of what was going on but I knew I had to get here ASAP."
(MIDNIGHT'S POV)
I was dipping and dodging the constant attacks from my opponent at the moment I decided to go on the offensive. Just when I thought I had the upper hand, I was leg sweeped to the floor. The bastard with the half mask brought out a combat knife and went for a quick stab at my midsection. I materialized my tomahawks and parried his attack. He spun off of me and slashed at my back. I hissed in pain as I felt the crimson liquid drip down my body.
"I thought you'd be more of challenge. From our current confrontation, you seem to be in the category of a bitch." He said.
I glared hell at the motherfucker. He just kept on talking shit! I tried to hit him with my tomahawks but he just kept blocking them with his knives. It was getting on my fucking nerves.
"Ya know what? Fuck you!" I shouted while bringing out my shotguns.
"You got toys? Well so do I!" He said as he rolled up his sleeves. On his hands were black gloves with gun barrels all around the wrist. He cocked his gloves back and then balled up his fist. "I call them Shot-Guants! Specially made for me by the all too brilliant Professor S."
"Big deal. You're still dying regardless of what accessories you got on." I snarled at him.
"Bring it fuckboy!" He shouted. We charged at each other as we unloaded shot for shot. Shotgun rounds spread out everywhere.
We were both flipping around as our bullets flew out and clashed with each other. I unloaded shot for shot on the prick. He did the same to me. We both jumped up and blasted our own respective bullets at one another. We both landed and pointed our weapons at each other.
~CLICK~
"Shit!" We said in unison. He put his hands up and got into a fighting stance. I tossed my guns aside and put my hands up and got into the Philly Shell stance.
"A boxer huh? Well let's see what happens when you fight against taekwondo." My enemy said.
"Bring it bitch!" I said back.
He went for a swift side kick. I sidestepped it and threw a cross. He slipped his head outta the way and sent me a quick right hand to the chest. He went to follow up with a left hook, but I rolled the punch and double jabbed him in the face. He stepped back and threw a fake punch making me flinch a bit, and followed up with a 360 kick to the jaw. I was sent to the floor instantly.
"You're not looking so good slutwheat!" He said grinning through his mask. I glared and hopped to my feet.
"You kidding? I could do this shit all day!" I said as I resumed my fighting stance.
(R'S POV)
Holy shit! I was still in shock at the sudden appearance of my long time friend. I stared at her in awe.
"Woah! Sonna, what the hell are you doing here?!" I asked.
"I came to help you out with your little group." She glared at my opponent and then looked back at me with sad eyes. "R I'm so sorry for how I've been acting lately. I wish I was there to stop the death of Karren and Chase...but I wasn't." She looked at the grinning douchebag in front of us. "I never really got to tell him how sorry I was...but that's not important right now. I'm gonna help you no matter what!" She said drawing her bow.
"I don't know about Milton but for what it's worth, I missed you." I said smiling. She smiled back at me and nodded.
The masked figures in front of us looked at us with a chuckle. "You wanna tell them about their friend DayBreak?" The tall one asked.
The "DayBreak" guy laughed like a crazed lunatic. "That Chase guy you were talking about, got slaughtered. I saw him out on the road and decided to end him. He was weak as fuck. The one armed jackass didn't even put up a fight. I killed his lame ass easily."
I glared at the bastard. "You're lying! Chase wouldn't give up!" I shouted.
DayBreak chuckled. "Trust me. Your friend is dead. He truly is!"
I glared at the use of Chase's signature words. "FUCK YOU!!!" I shouted as I sent him a hard dropkick to his chest sending him through a wall.
Sonna began to fire arrow after arrow at the taller one. He materialized two black machetes and charged forward, slicing through the storm of arrows. Sonna and her opponent began to take off. Moving their fight elsewhere.
I looked back at the man made hole and saw my target step out of it. He cracked his neck and chuckled. "Not bad for a small fry." He said.
I brought out my daggers and readied them. "You're only a couple inches taller than me, jackass!"
"You think those punny ass butter knives are gonna help you?" He asked comically.
"Why don't you come over here and find out?" I threatened.
"Sure thing pal." He materialized two long, black katanas. I mentally gulped as he started sprinting at me.
Our blades clashed together and sparks flew as we ripped them apart and clashed again. He had more leverage on me due to the length of his blades. I pushed off of him and landed on my feet.
"Ok...so maybe these won't cut it. No pun intended." I said to myself. "How about a scythe though?" I brought forth my black and gold scythe and pointed it at him. "Try me bitch!" I said grinning.
"With pleasure!" He replied. I had to be careful. I'm not sure what he's capable of yet. I looked around and saw everyone fighting. The random chick was fighting the clawed, cat woman. Carlos was going against that Jackal guy and seemed to be struggling a bit. Midnight and half mask were duking it out, hand to hand style. They were looking even at the moment, both struggling to get the upper hand.
I was snapped outta my thoughts when a boot collided with my gut causing me to drop my weapon. I doubled over in pain and began to briefly choke on my own spit. "Well whatcha waiting for? Get up and fight."
I grabbed scythe from off of the floor and glared at him. "Cheap shot, ya freaking pussy." I said to him.
He chuckled and brought up his swords. I charged at him with ferocity and malice. I was ready to kill.
