Mika and Nick slightly opened the entrance to the warehouse enough for her car to fit inside the door. The trunk faced the outside and Mika stood infront of it. Beside her, Nick had his Cross Punisher hidden in the shadows but prepared to go to work. As Bronze and his men approach Nick raised an eyebrow.
"Is that a tank?"
"Yeah, outdated though. Better get some more guns." Mika turned and strapped a gun on both of her hips. Nick did the same.
"We'll start with the missles and rockets first then." Nick turned to watch her grin and couldn't help but smile. "You're excited aren't you?"
She laughed and rubbed her hands together. "You bet."
He winked at her. "My kind of woman." They both laughed.
The tank and 15 trucks came to a hault about 50 feet away from Nick and Mika. A car pulled up in front and Bronze stepped out. He was about the same height as Nick, he was built thicker than Nick though, his hair was a light brown and his eyes were torquise, Mika remembered. He walked towards them and Mika sauntered towards him with Nick by her side. The men measured each other up behind their sun glasses. She knew they would both be angry though only Nick had a right to be.
"I can see you have bad taste in men if you choose him over me Mika. Why don't you come with me quietly and we won't cut off all of his fingers. Let us end this little game." Bronze held out his hand to her, ignoring Nick.
She resisted the urge to slap it or spit in it and stared at him, amusement in her eyes. "It ends tonight Bronze, but I won't be leaving with you. So how about we get this started?" She smiled sweetly and began to walk away. Nick stayed where he was.
"You anger me woman, you'll pay and then I'll make you my slave." Bronze stomped off to his car.
"Not going to stay and fight yourself Bronze?" Nick finally spoke up and watched Bronze turn around. "Can't even fight for the woman you want. Good thing she's my woman now and you'll never have her."
Bronze controled his anger and opened the door to his car. "Destroy him!" The car quickly drove away and Nick returned to his spot beside Mika's car. "Ready honey?"
"You know it." She climbed in the back seat of her car and pressed a button to release her weapons. Nick set up his Cross Punisher. Men were already piling out of Bronze's truck and heading towards them. "I wonder what kind of firearms that tank has and what other big shit they have."
Nick glanced at her and put a cigarette in his mouth. "Lets just blow up the big shit."
"Fine by me." They fired. Nick hit the tank, hoping to trigger more explosions. Mika hit the outer edges of their force. Men yelled, screamed but kept coming toward them. The sky turned brighter as the sun began to set and fire lit the area. Bronze's men fired something heazy, maybe a missle like their own, but hit the area of the warehouse to their left. Men came running up and Mika quickly took out her machine guns and took care of them as Nick fired more missles.
"More big shit coming through!" Mika yelled as she jumped out of the car to get closer to take care of the men. Nick quickly took another tank out, his aim impeccable. It seemed almost to easy, Mika thought. Just as she did, men came stumbling through the back. "Fuck! Figures!" Nick shifted to the other end of his Cross Punisher and hosed the men down with is machine gun. "I got them Mika, get the ones up front." She quickly took out two grenades and hurled them into the crowd. She continued to fire, trying to keep a good distance between the men and the door.
"Nick!" Mika quickly ran to Nick's side and stood behind the warehouse doors. "All this is pointless unless we get to Bronze. We have to take him out." She glanced towards the back door where a couple men had tried to get in. It pleased her to notice that Nick had found a way to pile up debri to block the door. She took a chance to look outside for Bronze's car. "I can't find his car."
"Yeah, neither can I. Reload your car and we'll go out searching for him after we rain these guys with everything else we got. I'll cover." Nick turned and began to use his machines guns to take out anyone within its distance. There was still a lot of fight left in Bronze's men, it was impossible for them to know just how many people were coming. Well, Nick thought, I never thought it would be easy. Nick tossed away his old cigarette and lit another as Mika reloaded. "Mika, you drive, I'll shoot. We gotta make this quick alright." He quickly put his Cross in the back seat of the car and stood behind one of the warehouse doors. Mika took place behind the other one. "Ready?" When she nodded, they both opened their doors, revealing firearms of all kinds stacked on crates. Ready and waiting to be fired.
Yells were heard throughout the open fields, some men began to retreat. Both Mika and Nick spotted some giant mechanical machine and didn't hesitate to release everything they had. Grenades, missles, machine guns, bombs that would burst into flames unpon contact. Whatever, whoever that was standing no longer stood. Mika quickly jumped into the car and turned it on, as she backed up, Nick jumped in, preparing to fire at anything that was blessed enough to survive. He let out a loud laugh as Mika sped in search for Bronze. "This is too much fun honey!"
Mika finally spotted Bronze's car and increased the speed of her car. "Alright Nick, there is is. Wait? What is that?" Mika leaned foward, trying to figure out what was rising from the roof of Bronze's car. It wasn't until it was fired did she realize it was a missle. "Hold on Nick!" She quickly turned the car to escape the path of the missle. But the missle was quicker and hit near the rear of the car. The car toppled and skidded on its side before flipping upside down.
Bronze grabbed his gun and quickly walked over to the car. Jack and Mike followed behind him, weapons in hand as well. They watched as Mika and Nick climbed out from under the flipped car. It appeared they suffered only slight injuries, Bronze thought to himself. That meant he would have the chance to make Nick suffer with is bare hands.
"Oh that bitch is going to get it now, he ruined my car!" Mika helped Nick drag his precious Cross out from under the car. "Are you okay?" Mika screamed as she was pulled back by her hair and thrown to the ground. She looked up in time to see Bronze kick Nick in the stomach.
"Doesn't look like he'll be okay now Mika." Bronze signaled to his men. Jack held Mika's arms behind her back and Mike did the same to Nick. "Come with me and maybe I'll let him live." He watched patiently as Mika used her leg to kick Jack in his crotch and flipp him over her shoulder. She pulled out two guns, shot Jack in his leg and held the other towards Bronze.
Bronze shook his head. "Now I wouldn't do that." He held a gun to Nick's head. "Drop the gun and come with me Mika."
"Don't listen to him Mika, just get out of here." Nick looked up at her as she shook her head and brought the gun to her head. "Mika, what are you doing?"
Bronze stepped forward to stop her, Nick used his strength to throw Mike over his back then pulled out two guns and fired. Bronze quickly pulled out a gone a gun of his own. Both men shot at the same tim. Shots rang through the air, lighting up the sky in front of them. Mika screamed when she saw Nick fall to the ground. She ran to him, stepping over Bronze's bullet full body, and fell to Nick's side.
"Honey, you're going to be the death of me one day." Nick glared at Mika as he walked out of the hospital and patted the cast on his right arm. "Thats the second bullet I've taken because of you. But I thank you for shooting Bronze before he could really do me some damage."
"The first one grazed you, so it didn't count. And I did it as much for you as I did it for me. I'm just glad it's finally over." She stopped and smiled over at him, forgetting all that she had been through. "So Mr. Priest, what shall we do now? Run off spreading more havoc? Have a bunch of children so they can spread havoc in the future?"
Nick stared at her for a moment, hearing "Mr. Priest" echo in his head as he tried to remember where he had heard it from. His vision blurred and Mika's figure appeared taller, her build bigger, her hair thicker but with the same length. A name filled his head. "Mille?" As he spoke it, the echos died down, his vision cleared, and Mika appeared before him as she had always been but there was a sly smile on her face.
She kept the smile on her face as she held out her hand to Nick. "I suppose you can call me that to, but that was in another life."
"When did you..." He could only stare as he took her hand.
"Don't worry, I lived a lot longer than you did." She pulled him away with her, away from that life. "But you see, fate has given us another chance and now..." She brought him close and kissed him. "...now life is just beginning."
"Yeah...I guess you're right." He stared down at her smile, taking in all that he had learned. A second chance...well he had better make the best of it. So saying, he lifted Mika over his coul shoulder and carried her off to the car. "Let's go get started on those kids."
