Tonight Von Richter Sleeps in Hell: Part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Due to the overwhelming response (silence except for crickets sounds), I have decided to add the Cybersix theme song in English (965k) click here to download it and to bring you this part earlier. Play it while you read. Where did we stop? Oh yeah. Our friend the Lieutenant was interrogating Jose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jose was lying in a heap in the far corner of the warehouse; having been knocked out by the Lieutenant (He had used Jose as a stress ball, a punching bag and a dartboard.) "I'm done with this dick, lock him up." Ordered the Lieutenant. The soldier returned, took hold of Jose, stuffed him back in the cage and went out. The Lieutenant summoned his second-in-command who was a sergeant. "Sir?" asked the Sergeant. "I need to discuss a problem with you Rick." Said the Lieutenant. "Which is?" replied the Sergeant skeptically. "I believe that we have what could either be a serious enemy or an ally. After interrogating the prisoner, I have learnt that one of Von Richter's best creations is fighting against him. In fact it's a she, going by the name of Cybersix. I believe she was the one who attacked two of our Marines, but I cannot confirm that it was because she wanted to do it for fun. Most probably she wanted the sustenance the Marines were carrying. " "Sustenance sir?" asked the Sergeant. "The green stuff that we found on those mutants." Said the Lieutenant. "I shall brief you on what I have learnt from the prisoner, Sergeant." he added. After briefing the sergeant, "Sir, our orders were to bring back any evidence or people who can testify in court. This Cybersix is three quarters human, sir, so I believe she can act as a witness." Replied the sergeant. "Good idea Rick. Tomorrow night, we will attack Von Richter's castle stronghold, go and find ten volunteers. Dismissed." Replied the Lieutenant. "Sir yes sir!" Barked the sergeant and went out. "God, we're going to have rough night tomorrow." Muttered the lieutenant.
Next morning, in Cybersix's apartment…
"Deedeedeedeedeedee!" beeped Cybersix's alarm clock next to her bedside. Suddenly, her arm shot out and smashed the clock into very, very, very, small bits. Cybersix rose from the covers, rubbed her eyes, stared at the mutilated clock's face, and let out a scream.
She had hour only (Mayday! Mayday! Red Alert! Total Panic!) Suddenly, this really stupid and risky idea came to her head. Why don't Adrian go on sick leave (presumably flu,) and she goes as herself! So our dear Cybersix hopped out of bed and took out a disguise kit ("10 001 Disguises for the Desperate Fugitive" which she bought from a garage sale,) wore a female three piece suit (I didn't mean a bikini, do you think I am that perverted? I mean a skirt, a blouse and a jacket; the type office workers wear.) Cybersix dressed up, powdered her face and wore a pair of thinned rim spectacles unlike Adrian's black rimmed ones. She decided to use Cybersix's voice. If you had looked at Cybersix now, you would be surprised that she didn't look like Cybersix at all (More like Dot from Reboot.) she cooked up the name Katherine Ryder (not her brightest idea) and was going to use it.
At school, Lucas went to Adrian's table, wondering why he didn't see Adrian for the entire day. "Maybe Adrian is pretty busy today," he thought. But when he reached Adrian's table, Adrian wasn't there. Instead, a black-haired, young, female teacher was sitting there marking assignments. "Um, did you see Adrian?" asked Lucas to the new teacher. "Well, Adrian is on medical leave so he sent me to relief him. By the way, my name is Katherine Ryder." Replied the teacher, smiling as she continued marking the assignments. "Your voice sounds very familiar." Said Lucas as he squinted at Katherine/Cybersix but he couldn't pinpoint which person in his memory sounded like Katherine. In the end, he gave up. "Since Adrian isn't here, why don't you come with me to dinner. My name is Lucas, I'm Adrian's friend and colleague." Lucas explained. "Oh, You're Lucas. Adrian has told me about you. Ok, give me a minute to pack my things." Replied Katherine as she shuffled the assignments she was marking and placed the neat pile into her briefcase. Katherine then got up and followed Lucas out.
Later, in the café…
"This food is superb!" Exclaimed Katherine. "Yep, that's why Adrian and me come to this place often." Said Lucas. "Oh! Look at, the time! I better get home before my mother has a cow, bye!" Said Katherine as she picked up her briefcase and got up to go. "When will I get to see you again?" Lucas asked. "You will get to see me again Lucas." She said as she exited the café. As he thought through what Katherine's words meant he absent-mindedly looked at a black leather handbag at the next table. Then it hit him. "She's Cybersix!" shouted Lucas, jumping to his feet. Other diners look at him as though he was a lunatic.
Later, in an abandoned warehouse…
"Lock, cocked and ready to rock, sir!" yelled a Marine. Ten of the Marines were now wearing gas masks, kevlar vests, kevlar helmets and their usual urban warfare night camouflage. Each soldier was a walking arsenal. The marines either carried M16s with M203 grenade launchers or flame-throwers as their primary weapons. Those who could handle more carried the occasional 5.56mm M249 SAW machine gun. The Lieutenant was carrying an H&K MP5 with several spare clips, not to mention his grenades. "Ok boys, we're not going to attack Von Richter alone. The Air Force and the Navy will be helping out, so we don't need to worry about the welcoming committee. When we get inside, we are to advance quickly and shoot anything that moves. We may have to watch out for booby traps, though. I heard that Von Richter manage to take some World War II weapons along with him when he fled Germany. OK BOYS! ARE YOU READY TO KICK ASS AND LIVE FOREVER?" "SIR YES SIR!" shouted the squad. "Okay then, everyone get into the APC, its going to be a rough journey."
Meanwhile, back in Cybersix's apartment, Cybersix dropped her disguise and became Cybersix. She wondered whether she should hinted to Lucas that her disguise was Cybersix. "Maybe this was a good idea, it'll make Lucas think that Katherine is Cybersix not Adrian." Cybersix said to herself. But deep inside, she felt that it was wrong, somehow. Cybersix opened her window, feeling the breeze as she leapt out into the darkness.
As the APC ran straight across the dirt road into the jungle where Von Richter castle stronghold was located, the Marine's heads knocked into each other as the APC jumped over the rough road. Mercifully, the APC screeched to a halt, causing the troops slam their heads sideways. "OKAY BOYS! Get your fat asses out of this APC before I make you all drop twenty!" There was a big scramble for the exit.
Outside…
"We are to advance in an orderly fashion so… MOVE IT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR, CHRISTMAS!?" The Lieutenant half screamed, half shouted at his men. The Marines began to mutter mutinously themselves as they charged into the jungle in single file. A few minutes later, Von Richter castle came into view. The Lieutenant called the soldiers to halt. "Private Andrews! Up front now!" Ordered the Lieutenant. A soldier wearing spectacles ran forward. He had a radio set strapped to his back. The Lieutenant yanked out a receiver from the radio and spoke into it. "This is Unit 0, requesting air strike. Target is castle stronghold, map reference."
"Yes Sir. Air-strike will reach your location in T minus 20 minutes, standing by." cackled the voice from the radio. The Lieutenant hanged up the phone and shouted to his men to hit the dirt.
Shortly after, Seven F/A-18 Hornets were scrambled off the deck of the USS John F. Kennedy, loaded with enough AGM-65 Mavericks to destroy a city block. "This is Eagle One. We are approaching target, ETA 10 minutes." Radioed the flight leader as he and his squadron angled their jet fighters towards Meridian's coast. The F/A-18s flew low, causing a sonic boom loud enough to rattle windows as they shot out of the city's airspace towards the jungle. "We are beginning our attack run." The F/A-18s locked Von Richter's castle on their HUDs and fired off their missiles. Fourteen AGM-84E SLAM Air-to-Ground missiles bent on destruction shot straight at Von Richter's castle. The missiles impacted and blew huge chunks out of the castle. In a few seconds, Von Richter's fortress, which before looked like a castle out of a Dracula movie, now looked like a building during war. The Lieutenant grabbed his MP5 and shouted "GO GO GO! STORM THE CASTLE!"
The Marines quickly leapt to their feet and charged up the slope towards the castle.
On reaching the front door, a Marine used the butt-stock of his rifle to knock down the weakened door of the castle. The other Marines charged in, shouting and yelling as they opened fire, gunning down Fixed Ideas and Technos who were running around repairing the castle. The Marines pounded down the main hallway, cutting down anything that stood in their way with gunfire. After running up a flight of steps, the Marines reached the door to Von Richter's study. A demo expert quickly stuffed plastic explosive in between the hinges of the door while the other Marines backed away. The explosion blew the doors apart and sent remains of the door hurling in every direction. Von Reichter, who was using his gigantic computer, turned and stared into the muzzle of an MP5. "Move it." Snarled the Lieutenant. Von Richter was grabbed roughly by two large-sized Marines carrying M249s. The Marines got out by the same way they came in, gunning down every monster they saw. They then ran out of the castle and into the jungle with the elderly Von Richter in tow. Within seconds, they were back in the APC, which was heading at flank speed back towards Meridiana.
Inside the APC, Von Richter was staring at the grim looking Marines and even grimmer looking guns, poised to shoot him if he made any attempt to escape. "I sure you know who we are, and what we want with you. Our forefathers once fought people like you. We are going to repay you for every patient you worked on, for every allied soldier you killed, for every creation you created that died when you wanted to take back life that you had given to them, and for every living thing whose blood is on your hands. The days are numbered for people like you, you fucking, sadistic Nazi prick." growled the Lieutenant. Von Richter was speechless, intimidated by the masked faces of the Marines as they stared back at him. Then the sergeant spoke. "Juden," he said, pointing to himself. "Juden."
