The heavy footsteps were approaching. Aya walked backwards at a
slow, terrified pace. The Golem turned the corner. More footsteps, these
were moving quickly or there were a lot of them. The golem looked at the
oncomers. Then it turned to face them. It light up it's laser sword.
Logan leaped at it, tackling it to the steel catwalk bottom. It was knocked down against the guardrail. A much larger man, wearing a trench coat and was carrying a long-range, semi-auto rifle. Slung over his shoulder was a long barreled shotgun, a sword, and was carrying a bulging duffle bag. He pinned the golem to the guardrail by holding his ankle under the golems chin. Pointing the rifle between the widening eyes of the golem, he fired a three round burst. For insurance, he hoisted the golem over the rail and it fell lifelessly to the earth.
Aya was shaken. She once again had barely dodged death's cold grip. She was stilled frightened, not by golems but the strong, huge, gun-bearing man with the facial expression of a man who had never smiled in his life. Logan was cradling her in his arms. Yet to say a word, the unknown man slung the rifle over his shoulder and offered a hand to Logan. He accepted and lifted Aya up by the waist as he was helped up. "Aya, this is Jerome," Logan finally said.
Jerome was in thought. "Logan, I finished sharpening your sword," he said while taking the long sheath his shoulder. Logan accepted with a small grin. He then opened one side of his trench coat. Aya saw in a holster a .44 calibur magnum, and hanging in the coat was an assortment of handguns. He gave Logan a silenced handgun, then reached into his bag(which Aya saw was full of ammunition) and gave Logan a box of 9mm Bullets.
He handed Aya the rifle he had previously used and a pistol identical to Logan's. She took it reluctantly along with an extra clip and a box of bullets. Jerome then loaded the shotgun. Aya finally got the courage to say something, "who are you?"
"My mechanic," Logan said slyly.
"Rupert told me to get you out of the building." They started walking towards the stairwell, Logan leading the way while playing with his sword. They turned the corner towards the stairwell and discovered atleast a dozen of golem soldiers. One launched a grenade. Logan couldn't get out of the way in time. He was hit slightly by the blast throwing him through the guardrail. He managed to grab the edge before he fell to his death.
Jerome grabbed his hand and Aya started firing with the rifle. As Jerome pulled up Logan a golem raced forward and cut his leg, causing him to fall to the steel and almost lost his grip on Logan who was dangling. He couldn't pull himself up because he was badly burnt. Jerome capped the attacking golem with his magnum.
Logan saw the window in front of him. He shot it with his pistol until it was so cracked it was no longer possible to see through it. "Swing me through the window," he yelled. Realizing there was no other option Jerome did what he was told.
Jerome slowly got up, holding the bleeding gash in his leg. Aya's clip ran out. "Get on the roof and signal a helicopter," Jerome ordered. Before Aya could protest he started firing so loud with two magnums he couldn't hear her at all.
She climbed the near ladder. On the roof she spotted a black helicopter. She started jumping around and making herself looking utterly stupid. The helicopter started lowering. At about ten feet above a man in green jumped down. She recognized him as the golem who was leading all the others in the party. "Time to finish part 2 of our plan," said the man.
"Who are you and what do you mean part 2," Aya declared. She suddenly noticed that Jerome's firing had stopped.
"Don't you remember me? What about all that time we spent together last year, or do you wish not to remember the fighting."
"Your dead Number 9. What about the plan?"
"Death is only for those who give up. My memory was planted into a new body."
"Quit stalling."
"First we capture Eve while your distracted at the party. Then we kill the main threat and the organization it or she came from."
"Your mad! You'll never get Eve!"
"You're right about one thing," No. 9 started laughing hysterically. Aya emptied an entire clip of bullets into him. He collapsed to the floor. She looked up. A man in the helicopter was aiming a machine gun at her. She ran, followed by a trail of bullets. She jumped off the edge and landed on a dead golem which was on the catwalk. She blacked out.
"She was woken by the sound of the helicopter motors. She had had a vision of a young girl being carried away against her will. She staggered into the stairwell. After she went down a few floors she heard a scream.
She burst through the doors. Jodie was trapped by a giant scorpion. She was next to a glass doorway so Aya shot the glass with her pistol in order for Jodie to crawl through. The scorpion turned on Aya. She fired the rest of her bullets at it. She grabbed the box of bullets but she dropped them and they scattered on the floor.
The scorpion grabbed her around the waist with its claw. It's vice- grip was crushing Aya. The stinger was being lined up. A drop of venom was hanging on the tip. It tensed up as Aya braced herself for the blow.
A flash of steel and the stinger fell to the floor. Logan Jumped up on its back and jammed the sword into its spine. It squealed in pain and loosened its grip. "Yuk," Logan said as it melted. "What is this thing."
"A mitochondria creature," Aya replied. "Maybe I should tell you the details of my job."
As she reached the part about the creatures Logan interrupted, "You're telling me you're responsible for these mito-fuckers?"
"You don't understand," Aya begged.
"I should leave you here to die," Logan protested.
"You're not going anywhere," No. 9 said after he snuck in. He picked Logan up and threw him across the room. Logan drew the sword. The weight hurt him but he needed to use it. Logan charged, but was easily blocked by Nine. With a quick move Nine disarmed Logan. Logan grabbed his saber out of the ankle sheath. His fighting style now became like kickboxing, thus giving him a speed advantage. No. 9 was barely able to avoid getting stabbed and was unable to block the many kicks. Logan saw he was off balance and went for the kill. In a lunge he swung the saber at Nines heart. Nine let it enter his arm and shoved the long sword through Logan's heart and out of his back.
