Okay, if you truly want to experience this chapter, listen to some James
Bond music, since this chapter is ripped right outta a Bond flick, right
down to the gunfights. I plan on having some chapters that are pure story
with little action involved, like the upcoming chapter 27 which I finished
tonight… this is not one of those chapters!
Chapter 24
The three escapees ran into the hallway as the alarm sounded throughout the building. No doubt so there would be a flood of guards rushing in. "Come on, this way. I know where we can hide." Gene said, leading them down the hall into a large storage room. It was a dark, huge, wide-open room filled with crates to the 20-foot high ceiling. The three of them ducked behind a large crate and sat on a smaller crate. Gene rolled out a map. "Okay, these are the blueprints for the building I stole on my way here." He said. "Here is where we are, the weapons storage facility. This is where Sadin's troops from all around the world keep their weapons. This is their main supply depot. These crates are filled with guns, swords, knives, throwing stars, and every other weapon imaginable." He pointed to the large room with his finger. He quickly ran his finger to the left. "This is where I freed you two." He ran his finger up to the other side of the map. "This, on the far end of the map is where the villagers are being kept. According to this, they are locked in special cells that are electronically sealed. We can use this to our advantage, but we'll need to split up. I think that if we can shut off all the power to the base, the doors will open, setting the prisoners free. I'll be there when the doors open. To shut off the power, someone will have to destroy the power generator or the computer that controls it here." He pointed to a small building in the west side. "Syaoran, I'll need you to destroy that power generator." Syaoran nodded. "Alright, I'll do it." He said. "But there's a problem: To get there and to get to the prisoner's cells, we'll need to get by a series of defense systems. Lasers, turrets, guards, everything you can think of will be there. We need to shut off the security system so we can safely pass. Sakura, that's where you come in. Sneak into this building here. Disable the security system by destroying the main console with some explosives and the security will shut off." He rolled his finger over to a small shack on the east side. "What?! I can't do that! I don't know anything about security systems, sneaking around, guns, explosives or any of this stuff! How can I do this?" She said in a nervous tone. "Don't worry, it's easy. We'll even be in constant contact. Take this." Gene said as he tossed both of them a pair of radios. "With these, we can always ask each other for advice. But we need weapons. I'm the best with my bow and arrows, so I'll keep mine, but you two need some more weapons." He reached into some crates and pulled out the weapons.
"Okay, for Syaoran, here is a handgun and small sword." He gave them to Syaoran who hid them both under his clothes. "Now, for Sakura, here is some C4 explosives for the console and a sub-machinegun." He tossed them to her. "Hoe…" "What's wrong Sakura?" Syaoran asked. "Two things really. First, I don't know how to use this stuff. I'm no super-spy or something. Second, I don't wanna use this stuff! I don't wanna have to shoot someone." Gene said, "Don't worry. We'll be in contact. And you don't have to use them, but keep them in case of an emergency. Oh, I almost forgot to mention. When all objectives have been cleared, meet in the center courtyard. There, we'll regroup with the villagers and leave. Alright, everyone understand? We have no time to spare, move out!" Syaoran and Gene rushed for the exit, but Sakura dropped her supplies on the ground when she tried to run. She reached to pick them up, but she heard yelling at the end of the hallways that led to the supply depot. "THEY'RE IN THE SUPPLY ROOM! HURRY!" She then heard the footsteps of soldiers approaching. She knew she was trapped.
She grabbed her radio. "SYAORAN! COME IN!" She said loudly into the hand- held radio. "Syaoran here. What's wrong?" "I'm still in the weapons room. But the guards are closing in… AHH!" The sound of bullets filled the transmission. "Dammit, Sakura's in trouble! I gotta go help her!" He reached for his radio. "Sakura, if you can still hear me, return fire! It's your only chance! I'll be there as soon as I can!"
Sakura leaned against a crate as the bullets flew from the soldiers at the other end of the room. "Hoe… I don't want to fight them, but I have to…" She rested her gun on the crate. She couldn't bear the thought of shooting them, but she had to, so she turned her head away from the carnage and fired. The soldiers ducked behind a crate themselves to dodge her rapid fire, but it did them only damage rather than protect them. A stray bullet from Sakura's gun cut the rope holding the stack of crates, sending the huge stack of weapons, at least a ton each, crashing down on the unsuspecting guards. Sakura walked out and stepped next to the crate that crushed the enemies. "Hoe… I'm sorry…" Syaoran sprinted into the room. "Alright! Sakura! I'm here to help… you…" He saw Sakura standing over a crate with the weapons of fallen foes sticking out. "Well, and you said you couldn't do this stuff." Syaoran said jokingly. "I know, but I didn't want to…" She picked up an extra magazine of ammo and snapped it into her gun. "Well, let's get moving. Gene must be getting closer." She said and they ran off.
The two of them split up at an intersection, one leading west, one leading east, when Syaoran got a call from Gene. "Syaoran, are you there?" "Yeah, I'm here. What's going on?" "I'm halfway to the prisoner's cells. How is Sakura? I heard gunshots. The rest was all static." "Sakura was trapped by an entire fleet of guards." "Where is she now? Is she alright?" "Yeah, she killed them all. She didn't want to though." "Good, good. But listen, enemy patrols are everywhere. You have to move slowly and silently. But the shortest and least guarded route is on the roof." "Okay, got it Gene. I'll head for the roof. Syaoran out." Syaoran climbed a staircase to the roof on the West side.
Meanwhile, Sakura was sneaking silently through the East side. She did everything she could to stay hidden with the guards constantly rushing by. She would hide under desks, crawl over metal catwalks, hide in crates, whatever she could to remain out of site. But eventually, she came to a long hallway. She pressed her back against the corner and looked back. No guards in sight, so she made a run for it. At the end of the hall, she came to a corner. She ran around it without a second thought, but soon regretted it. A fleet of guards was lying in wait. They fired immediately at her, sending a barrage of bullets at her. Sakura screamed as she ran back around the corner. The guards quickly followed behind her, opening fire around the corner. Sakura fired back, but she missed. She quickly jumped out the door and found herself in the center yard. She ran in the direction she came from, trying to stay low to avoid being seen by the guards inside, but they came through the door too and once again fired. "Dammit, I'm not having much luck with these guards." She jumped to the ground and crawled behind a corner of the wall. She was trapped again. She tried to get out, but the guards kept firing. She couldn't go anywhere, and the guards came closer. A few seconds later, the guards walked out in her view and moved closer. She got up on her knees and put her hands in the air. She could see the guards smiling evilly. "That's a good girl. Just surrender yourself, and we won't hurt you… much more than usual." The leader of the guards said. Suddenly, a barrage of bullets shot all of the guards down from behind. A radio transmission came through. "I thought you could use some help, Sakura." It was Syaoran. "Where are you?" She asked. "Take a look on the roof on the west side." Sakura looked up, and there was Syaoran waving, sitting on a gatling gun. Sakura blushed; luckily, she was too far for Syaoran to tell. She giggled, "Thanks Syaoran! Now let's move!" They both got up and ran.
Gene, meanwhile, was silently hiding in the kitchen, behind a stack of kitchen utensils. He stood up to check his surroundings, when a guard spotted him. He fired an arrow that hit it's mark, but not before the guard fired into the air, alerting the other guards to their presence. Seconds later, a whole team of demons was hot on his tail. He jumped over the counter in the kitchen and ran into the hallway. He kept running as fast as he could. When he saw his chance, he slid under a desk in an office. He saw the feet of the soldiers as they past. When they were gone, he made his way to the stairs. But when he got to the next floor, he heard the footsteps of the soldiers back on his tail. He ran around a corner, with the guards close behind. But when he came around the corner, he found himself running beside Syaoran, with his own trail of guards. "Rough time, huh?" Gene said running at full speed. Syaoran eyed the room ahead. It was a fuel storage area. He grinned and said, "I have a plan. We'll lose them all at once!" He sprinted ahead and stood before a stack of fuel barrels. He dropped to one knee and with the other foot he knocked the stack of barrels down, sending them rolling towards the guards in pursuit. He pulled out his handgun and fired at the barrels. They were right in front of the barrels when the bullets hit the barrels, erupting in a sea of flames. "I'm impressed." Gene said. "No time for that, let's go!"
Sakura was also being tailed. She was running through an empty building on the second floor of the prison. The room was still under construction, with a lot of the floor covered barely by planks of wood. The entire bottom floor was visible around the small boards. Sakura ran as fast as she could over the small coverings. At one point, she lost her footing and fell face first on the board. She felt the board cracking under her weight. She looked down, and saw that it was at least 20 feet down and nothing but solid concrete. She couldn't fall. She jumped up as fast as she could and ran out of the room. "That was too close…" She said while wiping the sweat off her forehead. That's when the soldiers reached the section of the boards Sakura had weakened. The boards snapped as the guards fell to the bottom floor.
Syaoran was having his own problems. He leaned around a corner, firing at the approaching guards. He kept firing, until he noticed he was out of bullets. "Dammit, not now!" He turned and ran. He ran as far as he could, when he heard talking coming from a room. He peered in. Two guards were lazily talking while looking out the window to the courtyard.
"Hey, are you sure we shouldn't go help those guys? I mean, the heroes sound pretty tough. They did kill Rosaria, David, and the warrior in the volcano." The second one replied, "Nah. The Galactic Heroes are a couple of wimps. I'd like to see them right here in this room right now. I'd take 'em both on at once, with one arm tied behind my back. I could whip 'em down to nothing." Syaoran tapped them both on their shoulders. When they turned their heads, he sent them both to dream land with one punch. Then he "relieved" them of their ammunition and headed off.
Sakura was standing in a small room littered with computers. She grabbed her radio. "Gene? Can you hear me? It's Sakura." "Gene here. What's up?" "I think I found the security room." "Excellent. I'm outside the hall that leads to the prisoners. I just have to wait for Syaoran to power down the locks first. Now, you need to plant the C4. Just stick it to the computers and hit the button on the left-side of the explosive." She placed it on the terminal and pressed the button. "Now what?" "…Wait, Sakura, did I say left or right." "Left." "…GET OUTTA THERE!" Sakura didn't ask why, but she ran. Just as he fled the room, there was an explosion that sent her tumbling on the ground, eventually making her land upside down against a wall. "…The left side is the 10 second timer… the right is the remote detonator… Sorry Sakura…" Sakura picked up her radio. "Do me a favor, Gene. Don't tell me how to use another weapon ever again." That's when the alarm finally shut off. "Alright, the security system is down. I'm going in. Head for the courtyard, Sakura." "Alright, Sakura out." She put away her radio and headed for the courtyard.
Syaoran was approaching the power generator. He spotted the turbines when he peeked around the corner. But it was heavily guarded. A row of guards stood at the entrance to the room with the generators. The door to the small room where the computers that controlled the power was guarded too. Syaoran got an idea. He grabbed a small grenade from his pocket that he had taken from the guards earlier on. He sat hidden in a stack of crates when he tossed the grenade down the hallway and ducked out of sight. When it exploded, the guards ran quickly from their posts to investigate. Syaoran jumped up from crates and pulled out his second and last grenade. He tossed it in the computer room and ducked behind the crates again. When the guards returned, Syaoran listened in. "Another false alarm. I'm so sick and tired of—" BOOM! The grenade exploded, destroying the computers that controlled the power regulation. The lights dimmed and shut off. Only the slight moonlight and the flames from the explosions lit the hallways. Syaoran grabbed his radio. "Mission complete. I've sabotaged the power." "Gene here. So I gathered. The power is out everywhere. The prisoners are out. I'm leading them to the courtyard now. But I tried to get in contact with Sakura, but there was no response. Could you check on her?" "Alright. I'll check on her and head to the courtyard." He changed the frequency and called Sakura.
"Sakura, can you hear me?" "…" "Sakura?" "…" "Sakura, come in!" "…" "Dammit, something's wrong. Hold on Sakura!" He ran eastward towards the security room where Sakura was just a few minutes before.
As Syaoran ran through the halls, he heard a girl scream. "AHHHH! SYAORAN! GENE! HELP!" Syaoran panicked. "Oh no, she's in trouble. HANG ON! I'M COMING!" He ran around the corner and came into a large storage room with villains firing at Sakura who was hiding behind a crate. Syaoran rolled across the floor. "Thank God you're here Syaoran." She said in happiness. She hugged him hard. "I was running to the courtyard when I dropped my radio. It was smashed on the ground. I went to pick it up and see if it would work, but that's when a squadron found me and chased me in here. I also dropped my gun, so I thought I was a goner." Syaoran didn't say a thing. He just stood straight up and fired. He shot down each guard in a matter of seconds. "Well, you're safe now. They're all gone now. Let's hurry together." He said. "Okay, we'll go together." She replied.
They ran to the exit, but as soon as they got in the doorway, a guard rolled out and fired. Syaoran gave a scream of pain and dropped his gun and fell to the floor. Sakura quickly reacted. She grabbed the drop gun and quickly shot the guard, who disappeared quickly.
"SYAORAN!"
