Chapter 13
The elevator lurched to a stop and opened. The passengers hurried out, as someone shouted to them.
"I knew you all were alright! Thank God!!" cried Erika, as she raced towards them. She looked even more relieved when she got a good look at Alex.
"Since everyone is here," said Hiro. "We can evacuate now."
"Oh, I'm WAY ahead of you." She waved her arm at the two trucks that stood nearby. "Everything's all set."
Elza examined her useless guns. "Got any rounds? I wasted them down there."
"Plenty," said Erika. "They're over here."
As Erika showed her where the rounds were, Hiro went over to Tyler, who was helping people into the trucks.
"This everyone?" he asked.
Tyler nodded. "About forty people. I'm glad we're getting out. This place is a freak nightmare."
Hiro was about to respond, but an amazingly loud crash filled the room. He immediately reached for his gun, knowing exactly what he would see.
Neo Tyrant. Very pissed off.
"What the HELL is that?!?!" exclaimed Tyler.
"Proof that we are in deep shit," said Hiro.
Elza jerked at the crash. She was horrified, but not entirely surprised, to see Neo Tyrant. She slapped new rounds into her magnum and pointed it at the monster.
"Oh God," said Erika, as she loaded up her gun. "This isn't good."
Elza nodded to her statement, and turned to Alex. She scooped him up and put him on the top of a large cargo box. "Stay here."
Alex nodded, trying not to look scared. Elza gave him a reassuring smile, and then directed her attention to Neo Tyrant.
"Eat this, you mutinous fucking bastard!!!!!" she fired her magnum, the bullets piercing Neo Tyrant. It wasn't fazing him.
"Shit," she muttered. "What the hell can I do?"
It was then she notice it. A state-of-the-art automatic machine gun. It was seated on a platform twenty feet off the ground.
"THAT'S what I need." She ran over the platform started climbing the ladder.
"Won't ANYTHING kills this?!?!" cried Tyler, as he reloaded his shotgun. Neo Tyrant rushed him, swinging its claw. Tyler got out of the way to avoid a serious injury, but he wasn't able to avoid getting injured. Three of the claws raked across his upper arm, leaving angry gashes.
Hiro fired his rifle, hoping to take it down like he did last time. But Neo Tyrant wasn't even fazed as it advanced on HIM.
Erika fired her gun, cursing out loud every time her gun went empty. Neo Tyrant was currently cornering Hiro, who was firing with all his might. But as he reloaded, one of the bullets slipped from his grasp to the floor. As he retrieved it, Neo Tyrant brought its fist down, striking Hiro painfully on his back. Erika winced when she saw it, but felt relieved. The blow wasn't on his spine, and wasn't on his kidneys. That injury wasn't life threatening, but it would hurt like hell.
Neo Tyrant seemed satisfied with what it did, and turned its attention to Erika. She aimed for its head and fired, the bullet piercing its mouth. What were apparently its lips were no more, and most of its teeth were gone. But it was still standing. It rushed forward, taking her head in its fist. Panic lanced through her, and she frantically fired her gun into its torso. It threw her, far, into the large cargo box.
Dots danced in front of her eyes from the pain, and she knew she had a concussion. She tried to sit up, but the pain was too great. She felt horribly guilty that this was all she could do. Within moments, she was unconscious.
Elza cursed as she saw her comrades' fall. The ladder she was climbing was literally two pieces. The lower half crashed to the floor, leaving her clinging to the bottom half of the upper one.
C'mon, Elza, she thought as she reached for the next rail. Everyone's counting on you!! The world is counting on you!!!
Neo Tyrant didn't have its attention on her. Or on the wounded. Its attention was definitely clear.
Alex.
It slowly walked towards the cargo box. Alex crawled away from the edge, pressing himself against the wall the cargo box was against. Neo Tyrant didn't quicken its steps, but didn't slow down either.
Elza started climbing faster. This definitely wasn't good.
She was right. Neo Tyrant was so close by; she could smell the scorch off its skin from where the bullets had pierced it. And it was going after Alex. There was no way in hell she was allowing that.
"Go away!!!" cried Alex, tears starting to spill down his cheeks. Neo Tyrant ignored him and stopped right in front of the box. It reached for him.
"No!!! Elza!!!! Elza!!!!! Please help me!!! Elza!!!!!" Neo Tyrant grabbed the front of Alex's shirt. The boy screamed, kicking at the arm that held him. Neo Tyrant started to pull him towards it.
Loud shots rang through the air. Neo Tyrant let go of the boy and turned.
Hiro had his pointed to it. He was favoring his back, but other than that he looked dignified. He also looked very angry.
"C'mon, you piece of shit!!" he taunted it. "Show me what you got!!"
Hurry, Elza! Hiro thought as he fired at Neo Tyrant. He had seen her climbing towards the machine gun, and knew her plan. All he had to do was keep Neo Tyrant in the perfect range. However, that needed to be balanced.
Tyler staggered to his feet, and started firing. He slowly inched towards Erika, who was still unconscious. He also knew what Elza was up to.
That machine gun might defeat Neo Tyrant!! Tyler thought, finally reaching Erika. He felt her strong pulse, and examined her for any serious injuries. It was then she woke up.
"Wha?" she murmured. She sat up, but everything spun. Tyler leaned her against the box. "Is it dead yet?"
"Almost," said Tyler, firing his gun. Neo Tyrant turned to them. But not everything was gonna go its way. Elza had reached the machine gun.
Elza gritted her teeth in anger as she examined the gun. She was furious that she hadn't been there for Alex, but was relieved that he was safe. And on top of that, the gun was fully operational.
Okay, I need to take aim, she thought, pointing the gun. Shit, Hiro really needs to get out of the way...
Elza pointed the machine gun in Neo Tyrant's direction. "HEY!!!!!!!!!"
Neo Tyrant turned. It started in her direction. She readied the gun and opened fire.
Bullets pierced its torso. It screamed out, but in rage. Elza couldn't believe it was unfazed by the bullets that were slamming into it. Though the gun was fully operational, it wasn't fully load. After twenty rounds, it was empty.
"Shit!!!" Neo Tyrant, completely unfazed, turned in Hiro's direction. Since she had discarded her weapons before she climbed up, Elza was left with a knife. She drew it, took a deep breath, and jumped off the platform.
Neo Tyrant had started in Hiro's direction, so it didn't see Elza jump. She landed on its back and fixed her arm around its throat. Fueled by adrenaline, Elza started stabbing it in the back of the neck. She was overcome with anger, wanting to permanently get rid of this menace. As she did so, the others fired their guns into it, being careful not to hit her. But it wasn't in extreme pain. It grabbed Elza's arm and literally threw her.
Elza slammed into the steel wall, feeling nauseous. Nothing was bringing Neo Tyrant down, and it was going after the others again. Erika was leaned against the box while firing. Tyler also fired, despite his injured arm. And Hiro was also firing, although he couldn't stand up straight.
"Elza!!!!!" cried Alex. "Are you hurt?!?!"
Elza gave him a reassuring wave as she looked for an effective weapon. Then she saw it. It was in a glass case.
A flare gun.
Hiro cursed out savagely as Neo Tyrant had its attention on him. Regular bullets didn't work. Machine gun bullets didn't work. Not even being stabbed repeatedly worked. Could ANYTHING kill this...thing?!
"Shit-head!!!!!!" someone yelled. It was Elza, and she had an interesting weapon. Neo Tyrant turned to her. "Eat this!!!!!!" She pulled the trigger...
...And something brightly red shot out. It hit Neo Tyrant dead on, blowing up half of its upper body. It fell down, but Elza wasn't finished. She slowly walked over, though Hiro wished she would pick up the pace. It smelled horribly of scorched skin, and so much blood was oozing from it. She stood over it and took aim.
"Go to hell." And fired again.
Neo Tyrant seemed to explode right in front of them. When the smoke cleared, there was nothing but burnt body parts left.
Elza collapsed to her knees, letting out an exhausted, but relieved sigh. "It's over. Finally, it's over."
Everyone seemed to collapse with her. They all looked like shit, and were pretty wounded. But they were alive. They survived.
Tyler got Alex down from on top of the box. Alex ran over to Elza, his arms wide. "Elza!!!"
Elza smiled a tired smile and opened her arms for the boy. He ran into her embrace and she hugged him tightly.
Hiro stood, even though his back hurt like hell. "Now that that's done...we should go."
Tyler helped Erika up. Erika smiled. "Yes...we need to get out of here."
Elza stood, with Alex in her arms. "We did it!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!" she started cheering and howling.
"YAY!!!!!" cried Alex.
"ALRIGHT!!!!!" yelled Tyler.
Hiro couldn't help but laugh. Elza was still Elza. "We owe you a lot, Elza."
"You saved us!" yelled Erika, to yell over Tyler's cheers.
Elza laughed. "Hey, you guys are the professionals!! I just did what I felt I had to do."
Hiro looked at the two waiting trucks. "Let's get the hell out of here."
Everyone agreed and bounded towards the trucks.
Ooh, big fight scene!! I'm sooooooooo sorry I took so long to put this up!! Well, the next chapter is the last, so be sure to stay tune for the dramatic conclusion!!!!! ^_^
