Authors Note: I am very sorry it took so long but blame my school. But here is part sixteen with part seventeen hopefully not too far behind. The end is in sight and you all must be thinking thank God.
As always I hope you enjoy it and I'm sorry the chapters at so short. I haven't forgotten about my other stories either it's just most of them are on my school file and not beginning at school I can't get to them. But I'm working on that.
Thank you to all my reviewers.....For some reason my computer won't load my reviews up at the moment so you know who you are and THANKYOU!!!!!! I'll leave you all in peace to read now.
Happy New Year
Part Sixteen
"The hanger bay is to the left," Cathy shouted to the others over what was beginning to be the very familiar sounds of weapons fire. Tyr and Beka stood by the corner they had just passed, firing at the Dragan's that had been following them while Harper scouted down the rest of the corridor, Cathy behind him as he kept his cousin close, not wanting to lose her again. Looking in the direction Cathy stated Harper studied the locked down and pulled the interface wire once more from his pocket.
"Keep a look out" He told his younger cousin as she held the gun up uncertainly.
Quickly he unlocked the door and shoved the wire back in his pocket.
"Neat trick Seamus" Cathy commented as he ushered her into the hanger and yelled back
"Tyr, Beka, door's open, lets go!"
The two crew members ran back and quickly slid round the door, firing more shots as cover as Harper quickly locked the door and programmed in a virus he had memorized in case of these kind of emergency. The door slid shut and he breathed a sigh of relief when he looked round the empty hanger and saw the Maru was the only thing in here with them.
He allowed himself a grin "Woo, we rule!"
"I won't let your guard down yet" Tyr said, hand still grasping his weapon tight as he scanned round the hanger, "I don't think we're alone"
Beka put a hand on Harpers shoulder, "Celebrate once we're sitting on the Ob's deck, we still have to fly out of here without getting shot."
Before Harper could reply five figures stepped out of the shadows underneath the Maru.
"I believe the real trick is getting to your ship without getting shot don't you?" Lane asked with his grim smile.
Harper scowled "You are the last person I wanted to see here"
"And you are the last person I wanted to see out of your cell Mr Harper."
"Cut the crap" Beka said raising her weapon and eyeing the four guards with the Neitzschen
"If you wish" Lane said, snapping his fingers and the guards started forward. Cathy backed up to Harper who drew his weapon, hearing Tyr and Beka's gun's also power up once more.
Desperately Harper scanned round the hanger, trying to find a way to out smart the Neitzschen. To their right there was a pile of boxes and junk and Harper glanced up at his captain.
"Boss three o'clock."
Beka followed his gaze out of the corner of her eye and nodding slightly. After years working Harper caught the bare movement and waiting as Beka signalled to Tyr. Counting to three in his head Harper fired at the guards, as Beka and Tyr did the same, pushing Cathy towards the boxes and covering her until they were crouched out of range.
"Idea's?" Beka asked firing a few rounds above the crates.
"We must get to the ship" Tyr replied simply, firing a few rounds of his own and smiling in contempt when he heard the scream of a guard.
"Just fire aimlessly at them round the boxes" Harper instructed Cathy, "You can't hurt the Maru if you hit her"
He illustrated by firing his own weapon and scowled when it informed him
"Your weapon is empty"
And a few seconds later Cathy's told her the same thing.
Beka's only refill Tyr had given he had just gone into her own weapon as she continued to fire and suddenly the hanger bay was silent. Glancing at each other quickly the Andromeda crew held their breaths, wondering if they had got every body. Tyr shifted round and pecked round the crates. Four guards lay on the floor, wound's still slightly smoking.
"It's clear," he told them and they got to their feet. Tyr and Beka's weapons still at the ready. Beka had reached the Maru's airlock when Harper noticed Lane, standing in the corner. The human stopped and stared at the Neitzschen, realising that he was unarmed. The past few days came back to Harper mind, followed by the years of torment his family and friends had been under, were still under. The amount of people that had died...
Before he fully realised what he was doing Harper charged at the Neitzschen yelling in rage and tackling him to the floor as Lane was taken by surprise. Tyr raised his weapon but was unable to get a clean shot as Harper and Lane punched at kicked at each other. Rage roared in Harper's ears as he relied on his years of survival and what Tyr had taught him to fight the stronger opponent. Lane knew his weak points as he attacked his freshly fixed ribs and his bandaged wrist but Harper was fighting dirty.
Lane managed to pin the human's arms and he threw the engineer backwards towards the others. Harper landed with a thud onto his back and he lay there for a second, groaning in pain. Cathy ran over to him and helped him gently to his feet, wrapping her arm around his waist and letting him put an arm round her shoulders.
Lane had also got to his feet and faced the two cousins, pulling a weapon out from his holster.
"You'll pay for that Harper."
And he fired...
