Chapter 9: Tempest
Dauphin, Frey, Cross, Jord, and Bacchus stood with their backs to the alleyway. The SWAT teams in their full riot gear slowly inched closer to them. Sweat dripped down the side of Cross' face. Dauphin looked downwards and slid his arm into his pocket, and as one of the swat men stopped directly in front of him, a loud BAM!!! erupted rom Dauphin's hand. The guard fell back with a hole in his head, and Dauphin whistled quietely, with a smoking gun sitting in his hand. Frey looked at him and glanced at all the Swat teams, now ready to charge. "Gentlemen, Back up. You can see what happened to your idiot friend here, you really wanna push it?" Frey asked.
Eizus chuckled and approached the five of them, limegreen eyes sparkling madly. "I see you lost your maniac Prophet.."he trailed off,"......pity, I knew that old fuckwad friend of mine would loose it. So much for his last word on his jacket." He walked back a few steps and turned to his left, giving another order "Take the lady in white.....kill the others". The team looked around. "Who was this one in white?", they thought, and then it hit them. "He wants Bacchus!!" Dauphin shouted
Static3001: The idea that Eizus was going to take Bacchus hit the team like a cinder block. Dauphin brought his eyes up to meet Eizus'. "You try to take any of the team and I will rip your fucking head off!" He shouted in a voice so loud it seemed to echo down the street. Cross glanced to Frey and whispered, "Check it out, he's fucking pissed." Frey payed no attention, his grip around the sheath of his sword was ironclad. Bacchus walked backwards away from the team."YOU'LL TAKE NONE OF US!!" Dauphin shouted. Eizus smiled and his teeth gleamed, "I'd Like to see you try and stop me". Jord walked up next to Dauphin, who was hardly breathing. Jord tapped Dauphin on the shoulder,"Ready?". Dauphin looked at her and Bacchus, he gave a nod to Frey and Cross, "Now the shit hits the fan"
"Indeed it has" Eizus said and with the snap of his fingers, the SWAT team came to the five like a stampede. Frey drew his sword out in a one second horizontal swing. Cross pulled out two pistols and fired away. Jord defended herself with a combination of focused kicks and punches. Dauphin spun his staff around, smacking SWAT teams in the faces, and Bacchus, knowing she was in danger of being kidnapped, pulled two AK-47 automatics and opened fire. One by one, SWAT teams would drop dead like flies, but tens, hundreds or more would appear.
Dauphin swung his staff outwards and knocked two guards in the head. His jacket whisked through the air as he jumped up afterwords. He brought his staff to the left and it smacked into a guards face, he felt the skull shatter and as the body fell to the ground. Dauphin kicked his foot forward, and felt it strike another person. Frey twirled around and jumped into the air, feeling bullets soar under him, and he brought the sword down and slammed it into the ground. He saw a swat running towards him and kicked the sword out of the ground the sword flew through the air and slammed into the mans chest. Cross felt the guns soar out from his hands and he reached into his pockets, to discover two chains He brought them out and swung his fist to the left, felt the chain sail outwards and wrap around a swats neck, he threw his arm forward and watched the swat fly through the air. Cross smiled, "Awesome".
Four SWATs advanced Jord from behind. Jord sensed their presence and jumped, swinging her right leg upwards. The SWATs spun five times in the air, and two more came in their place. They pulled out two shotguns and fired at Jord. She escaped the bullets by running onto a nerby wall. After taking six quick steps, she backflipped and landed right behind them. They both turned and were punched right in the necks, and sent flying into the walls leaving a crater. Jord grabbed the two shotgun and tossed one to Bacchus, who just ran out of ammo of the AK-47's. Bacchus ran forward at the swat teams, shot gun in her right hand. The swat's ran at her and then she ran forward and left the gun behind her, and for a quick second, flipped backwards over it as bullets flew under her, she caught the gun as it fell to the ground when she landed and unloaded both barrels, watching an entire group of the swat team fall. She held her hand up and another swat ran into her hand. "FUCK THAT HURTS!" she shouted.
Dauphin swung the staff around over his head and stopped it in front of one of the Swats, he waved to him and then watched as Frey clotheslined the man so viciously that his body flew into a full backflip. Frey fell to the ground as he felt a foot kick him in the back of the head. Bullets whistled through the air as Cross slammed his chains around another person's gun, throwing it backwards. More marched into place of the others who were being knocked around.
"Dauphin, there's too many of them!!" Frey complained. Dauphin slammed his staff into a SWAT's stomach and then replied "We have no other choice, we can't have them take-OAF". He was cut off and slammed into the ground as a green transparent figure hovered nearby him. Frey saw it and knew what it was. He warned the others,"Watch your b-ACKS", but was too, punched hard in the face. Cross, Jord, and Bacchus, watched as the figure approached Bacchus. She was distracted by numerous SWATs, as the hazy figure closed in on her. "BACCHUS WATCH OUT!!" the three screamed. She turned around and the figure became solid, revealing himself to be none other than Eizus. "YOU!!" she shouted, and attempted to hit him, but it was no use. Eizus blocked her punch with ease and grabbed her in a headlock. She went unconscious, and Eizus picked her up and walked away from the battle. Dauphin stood there frozen, and watched her being taken away. Frustration grew enormously within him.
Dauphin threw his staff on the ground, he fell to the ground and just stared at it. Dauphin continued to stare at it as the SWAT sped off into the sunset. Frey walked over to him, "We can still get him". Dauphin looked at him, "Yes, we will". Jord stood up from her spot on the ground, she had been knocked over, "We need to use that disc, we have to jack out".
"Fine, get us out of here"
Frey whipped out the phone with a flick of his wrist, "Echo, its time to get us out of here"
'There's a payphone right across from you....and what's happened to Bacchus?' she asked with concern.'Don't fucking push it' said Dauphin cooly. Limping over to across the street, they heard a nearby payphone ring. Dauphin went last, and then before he left, he pulled out from his pockets the orange shades which Bacchus wore. He dropped and stomped on them, breaking it to pieces. All of them woke up and saw her, laying in her chair still, unconscious and jacked in.
"Alright, without any rude insults, tell me what the fuck happened to Bacchus!" yelled Echo. And so the three explained their sides of the story, with each conclusion being Eizus kidnapping Bacchus. Echo closed her eyes and signed very deeply. Frey leaned against the wall with his hand rubbing his forehead, and Jord placed a hand on Dauphin's shoulder. Dauphin was busy stroking the unconscious Bacchus's white hair. Like a film, the memory of her being carried away by Eizus brought strong emotion.
Dauphin bit his lower lip and sighed to himself, "That means we're going to have to destroy that building." Frey walked away from the crew around Echo and paced back and forth behind them. "So wait, you mean somehow inside the Matrix the idiot robots placed a control center for about 10,000 sentinals?!"
"And guess who owns it," Cross grumbled, "Next only do we now have to kill Eizus and save Bacchus, we have to oblierate this fucking building?!" Cross's voice squeaked at the end of his sentence.
"Yes, captian obvious, that sounds par for the course" Frey said, his voice so sarcastic the statement hit Cross like a punch to the face. Dauphin placed his hand on the desk Echo worked at, "Guys, I know not having Bacchus out here is getting to us, its a literal mind fuck for me. But we're going back in soon. We know where she's at now. It's time we go after her"
"...and Destroy the building, and storm the building, and buy a pizza....." Cross grumbled.
"Shut up" Frey struck out again. Dauphin was first to lean back in his chair, Jord followed seccond, Cross was third and Frey was last.
"Gentlemen and Lady" Echo began as she was inserting the needle into the back of their heads, "It's time to go back. I will turn on the fasten seatbelt sign if and when we hit a pocket of turbulence" and then she slammed her finger down on the computer, "Ciao guys, good luck".
All of their eyes shot open as they felt themselves drifting out of reality and into The Matrix. They were in an empty warehouse now, orange faded away from around them.
Dauphin flicked his head back and his long blue hair whirled by him. Frey sat down and the phone in his pocket rang, "Yes, Echo?" He said.
"You guys are just outside of that building, It's maybe three blocks down"
Dauphin full throttled at the warehouse slide doors and jabbed his right fist through the handle. A loud metal vibration echoed throughout the warehouse. He stuck his hand through the other side and opened the doors. Frey jogged up to his friend and unclicked the handle on their side. He glared at Dauphin with worry. Jord kept Cross back so they can talk privately.
"Dude, you alright, maybe you should back off on this one, somethings on your mind."
Dauphin leaned towards the punctured door, staring hard at the ground, as if he were trying to move it with his eyes." I'm fine" he lied.
"I know better than that," said Frey impatiently,"letme storm the lobby, that'll make life easier."
"Fine whatever,"Dauphin acknowledged,"But don't ask how I'm doing, but you know how the fuck I'm doing."
Dauphin felt into his pocket and felt the holster of a gun, he brought it out and held it against his chest and stepped outside of the warehouse, "It's time to go kill this son of a bitch"
"This is getting to him" Frey said to Cross. Cross nodded, so did Jord. She was standing next to Cross. "He even appears different now, he's not the same person inside here now".
"Eizus wanted this," Fran said, "But now he is going to get more than he bargained for"
"NOW PEOPLE! WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME! GOD KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK HE'S DOING!" Dauphin shouted and walked out of the building letting the door shut. Frey nodded and opened the door again and walked out into the blinding sun, "Yes folks, time to go die"
******************************************************************************
Bacchus woke up with a headache. She was binded onto a chair, looking at a window. Outside showed the entire Matrix, but behind was none other than her abductor. She noticed that her fur coat was off and that her guns were gone. Then, something clasped onto both of her shoulders. They were two hands that massaged her quite firmly. A whispering voice was speaking in her ear, as if a it was trying to hypnotize her. She knew who it was; her kidnapper.
"Tensed up, you need to relax" he said, massaging her still,"because in a short time, you wont be around to relax anymore."
She responded by wiggling her shoulders from his grasp, and then spoke very wearily.
"F....Fuh......fuck you"she sputtered
She fell asleep again, to the sound of evil laughter.
********************************************************************************
"So this is it?" Frey asked, staring upwards. The building was a humongous black tower, it was at least thirty floors high. It was placed towards the center of the city so it camouflaged with the rest of the area around it. "Frey, you said your going to storm the building, are you ready?" Dauphin huffed to him. He glanced up from the ground for a quick moment, his eyes had now turned a different shade. Frey nodded and then Dauphin handed him a gun, a pistol. "It won't be much help, but there's going to be a whole fuckload of guards after you, we'll fall in after we think it's time"
"Man of much confidence"
"It's what I'm known for" Dauphin nodded, and rushed to the sides of the door, he pressed himself on the side of it, so that he couldn't be seen. He signaled for the rest of the team to do the same, and then Frey opened the doors.
The inside of the building was in the theme of black as well, there were two floors big enough for a small house to fit in. Five security guards got up as Frey walked through the metal detector. Knowing it will buzz, the guard requested him to remove any metallic items. Frey pointed at the detector and spoke."Something broken right there, take a look," and as soon as the guard stooped down to see what the problem was, Frey pulled the pistol out and blasted the guard's head all over the metal detector. The guards got ready and withdrew their night sticks."Hault!"said the one in front of Frey. Almost without motion, Frey double kicked the guard clear across the lobby. The others jumped and tried to subdue him. Frey chuckled and said "Let's dance"The guards circled him and all swung individually at a possible weak spot. But Frey backflipped so high, he landed outside the circle, got his pistol ready, and opened fire. The guards flopped like dummies and dropped. Frey landed on both feet and threw the pistol away. No sooner had he passed the security corpses when a fleet of the remaining SWATs the team encountered earlier arrived. They were out of riot gear, and from the look of it, all unarmed. One stepped up and threatened Frey by pointing at him."YOU THERE!!! DROP WHATEVER WEAPONS YOUR CARRYING AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!!"Frey laughed and unsheathed his sword. The SWATs looked at each other with confusion and charged at him. With a half grin, he got into a leaned on his back foot and then lowered himself so that he was crouched with his sword facing outwards and said "Fine,"
The SWATs once again circled around him, this time Eizus wouldn't be here to help them out. It was between him and the twenty or thirty of them. The Swats moved forwards again and threw their riot shields outwards, Frey launched a kick to one of them, and shattered through the plastic that the shields were made out of. He moved his foot away to discover his foot was surrounded by the shield. He flicked his foot to the left and it flew off and smacked into another Swat. He leaned backwards and a night stick flew over him, gunshots began to echo off of the walls. And at the moment, he realized that the Swats were armed with more than just nightsticks and shields. He heard glass shatter as the door broke open, and he saw Dauphin standing there with his staff out. He jumped outwards and ran over to him, Swat in full tow, "Ready for the final fight with these guys?". Dauphin nodded and Cross ran out from behind him, throwing his chains into the crowd, watching two of them wrapped around the swat teams neck. Dauphin brought out another gun and unloaded six shots into the crowd and ran into them, swinging his staff. Frey followed, slashing to the left and slicing those who got up. Frey jumped up into the air, and found himself sailing through it. He landed behind one of the swat team and slammed his fist into the back of the mans head and watched him go down. Jord was firing kicks off left and right, knocking people back. Bullets began to rip into the walls, and Jord leaped back, watching them ripple past her. She ducked to the ground and crawled out of the way, she saw Frey running towards her. She threw a chair at him, and he caught it. He whirled around and threw it at one of the men with guns, watching the wood splinter against him. Frey smiled to himself, it seemed impossibly cool until he felt a gun pressed up against his head, "dodge thi…." he heard a voice say, and he cut it off slamming his sword into the man's chest, "This" he mumbled. Dauphin slammed his staff into another mans hand, causing him to drop the machine gun in his hand. He slammed the staff down on it and watched it shatter against the ground. He then brought the other half of it downward on the man's head, knocking him out.
The ground was layered with dead bodies all over. Cross wrapped his chains up and put them back inside his pocket, while Jord stood up and brushed herself off, then wiping the sweat off her forehead. Dauphin kept his two staffs in each hand ready, then turned to Frey.
"We're going up the stairs, to the next floor, your'e gonna have to hold the others back....will you?" he huffed.
'Go......getting Bacchus is my main concern' said Frey cleaning the blood off of his sword with a cloth.
"Yeah, mine too" he answered,"Here comes the rest.....now kick ass"
While the other three left Frey to head to the emergency stairs, the rest of the SWATs took positions in both the upper and lower floors. The ones at the bottom were fully equipped with night sticks, riot shields and pistols. Frey knew focused real hard as the Swats fired at him. He threw himself backwards and watched the bullets flying by him in slow motion, leaving ripples of waves. He landed on his hands and flipped back onto his feet, only to have three night sticks whacks him sqaure in the chest. All air left out of Frey as he slid across the lobby floor.
The leading SWAT member signaled the other to approach. One stooped down to see if Frey was really unconscious. He looked at the SWAT leader.
"Sir, do we cuff him?" he asked
"Go for it,"
The stooped guard then screamed in pain, for his right arm was chopped off by a vertical swing of Frey's blade. Frey opened his eyes and jumped to his feet, where the first thing he did was stab the one armed SWAT in the throat. He thrusted the sword out of the man's neck and twirled around and jabbed his sword upward out of instinct. One swat was sweeped off his feet as the sword stabbed through his chest. Frey swung the sword back down ( The swat was pretty heavy ) and the body was thrown into the remaining group, knocking them out cold. The upper balcony SWAT grew impatience and pulled out their pistol and shot at Frey. Frey dove behind one of the pillar and disappeared behind it.
The SWAT stopped firing but kept their guard up. The leader of the upper balcony, had his hand up, ready to signal them.
"Okay, we got him, let's move in" and lowering his hand, the SWATs withdrew their weapons and jogged to their right. The leader turned to the corner and the sound of a whirling blade was heard. There a soft "THUMP" as the body of the leader hit the ground,dead. The others got their guns ready until they heard a shout.
"Peekaboo!!"Frey dropped behind him and threw his sword at the closest SWAT. He died the moment the sword went through his skull, and the others charged in. Frey plucked his blood soaked sword out and jumped in. He kicked one guard right off the balcony, making him hit the service counter. They got their pistols ready until Frey spun around in a full 360 spin. At first, nothing happened, but the next second, the top part of their guns fell off. Frey was moving so fast that he looked like a blur to everyone's eyes. He jumped and kicked one guard in the face and swung his leg the other way hitting one SWAT into a wall. One of them attempted to hit Frey with a riot shield, but Frey caught it in mid-air, and bashed the SWAT opposite of him with it. The shield shattered in pieces and broke every bone in the SWAT's body. Frey was in tuned with his instincts, so well that he caught a night stick without his mind telling his left arm to do so. He stabbed the guy trying to hit him and swung the night stick in a powerful 180 degree spin. The stick made impact on the side of one SWAT's face. Frey relieved himself of the night stick, for it went through the man's head. The last SWAT member look at Frey with fear, and ran the other direction. He raced down the stairs to reach the exit, but Frey, focusing the last bit of energy he had in him, crouched down and jumped as high as he could off the second floor. He went as high as thirty, and coming down, he positioned the tip of his sword facing down. With both hands, he stabbed the top of the last remaing SWAT's shoulder, with such energy, the sword sunk deeply into the torso. Frey landed hard and looked at the damage he caused. He then pulled the sword out of the SWAT's shoulder and wiped it cleaned with an extra cloth he had in his trenchcoat. Blood was smeared all over the blade, but that wasn't as bad as the lobby, which looked like a human butcher shop. Sighing deeply, he sheathed his sword and ran up the stairs to catch up with the rest.
Dauphin kicked back against a wall by a hallway. Frey walked up the stairs to see a giant hallway and a whole row of elevators. Dauphin looked at him, "You had to be that brutal?"
"I sense that they weren't human man" Frey mumbled. Dauphin huffed and glanced around, "Echo is late on her usual just in time phone…"
RING!!!
Dauphin sighed"..Never….FUCKING…mind"
Dauphin, Frey, Cross, Jord, and Bacchus stood with their backs to the alleyway. The SWAT teams in their full riot gear slowly inched closer to them. Sweat dripped down the side of Cross' face. Dauphin looked downwards and slid his arm into his pocket, and as one of the swat men stopped directly in front of him, a loud BAM!!! erupted rom Dauphin's hand. The guard fell back with a hole in his head, and Dauphin whistled quietely, with a smoking gun sitting in his hand. Frey looked at him and glanced at all the Swat teams, now ready to charge. "Gentlemen, Back up. You can see what happened to your idiot friend here, you really wanna push it?" Frey asked.
Eizus chuckled and approached the five of them, limegreen eyes sparkling madly. "I see you lost your maniac Prophet.."he trailed off,"......pity, I knew that old fuckwad friend of mine would loose it. So much for his last word on his jacket." He walked back a few steps and turned to his left, giving another order "Take the lady in white.....kill the others". The team looked around. "Who was this one in white?", they thought, and then it hit them. "He wants Bacchus!!" Dauphin shouted
Static3001: The idea that Eizus was going to take Bacchus hit the team like a cinder block. Dauphin brought his eyes up to meet Eizus'. "You try to take any of the team and I will rip your fucking head off!" He shouted in a voice so loud it seemed to echo down the street. Cross glanced to Frey and whispered, "Check it out, he's fucking pissed." Frey payed no attention, his grip around the sheath of his sword was ironclad. Bacchus walked backwards away from the team."YOU'LL TAKE NONE OF US!!" Dauphin shouted. Eizus smiled and his teeth gleamed, "I'd Like to see you try and stop me". Jord walked up next to Dauphin, who was hardly breathing. Jord tapped Dauphin on the shoulder,"Ready?". Dauphin looked at her and Bacchus, he gave a nod to Frey and Cross, "Now the shit hits the fan"
"Indeed it has" Eizus said and with the snap of his fingers, the SWAT team came to the five like a stampede. Frey drew his sword out in a one second horizontal swing. Cross pulled out two pistols and fired away. Jord defended herself with a combination of focused kicks and punches. Dauphin spun his staff around, smacking SWAT teams in the faces, and Bacchus, knowing she was in danger of being kidnapped, pulled two AK-47 automatics and opened fire. One by one, SWAT teams would drop dead like flies, but tens, hundreds or more would appear.
Dauphin swung his staff outwards and knocked two guards in the head. His jacket whisked through the air as he jumped up afterwords. He brought his staff to the left and it smacked into a guards face, he felt the skull shatter and as the body fell to the ground. Dauphin kicked his foot forward, and felt it strike another person. Frey twirled around and jumped into the air, feeling bullets soar under him, and he brought the sword down and slammed it into the ground. He saw a swat running towards him and kicked the sword out of the ground the sword flew through the air and slammed into the mans chest. Cross felt the guns soar out from his hands and he reached into his pockets, to discover two chains He brought them out and swung his fist to the left, felt the chain sail outwards and wrap around a swats neck, he threw his arm forward and watched the swat fly through the air. Cross smiled, "Awesome".
Four SWATs advanced Jord from behind. Jord sensed their presence and jumped, swinging her right leg upwards. The SWATs spun five times in the air, and two more came in their place. They pulled out two shotguns and fired at Jord. She escaped the bullets by running onto a nerby wall. After taking six quick steps, she backflipped and landed right behind them. They both turned and were punched right in the necks, and sent flying into the walls leaving a crater. Jord grabbed the two shotgun and tossed one to Bacchus, who just ran out of ammo of the AK-47's. Bacchus ran forward at the swat teams, shot gun in her right hand. The swat's ran at her and then she ran forward and left the gun behind her, and for a quick second, flipped backwards over it as bullets flew under her, she caught the gun as it fell to the ground when she landed and unloaded both barrels, watching an entire group of the swat team fall. She held her hand up and another swat ran into her hand. "FUCK THAT HURTS!" she shouted.
Dauphin swung the staff around over his head and stopped it in front of one of the Swats, he waved to him and then watched as Frey clotheslined the man so viciously that his body flew into a full backflip. Frey fell to the ground as he felt a foot kick him in the back of the head. Bullets whistled through the air as Cross slammed his chains around another person's gun, throwing it backwards. More marched into place of the others who were being knocked around.
"Dauphin, there's too many of them!!" Frey complained. Dauphin slammed his staff into a SWAT's stomach and then replied "We have no other choice, we can't have them take-OAF". He was cut off and slammed into the ground as a green transparent figure hovered nearby him. Frey saw it and knew what it was. He warned the others,"Watch your b-ACKS", but was too, punched hard in the face. Cross, Jord, and Bacchus, watched as the figure approached Bacchus. She was distracted by numerous SWATs, as the hazy figure closed in on her. "BACCHUS WATCH OUT!!" the three screamed. She turned around and the figure became solid, revealing himself to be none other than Eizus. "YOU!!" she shouted, and attempted to hit him, but it was no use. Eizus blocked her punch with ease and grabbed her in a headlock. She went unconscious, and Eizus picked her up and walked away from the battle. Dauphin stood there frozen, and watched her being taken away. Frustration grew enormously within him.
Dauphin threw his staff on the ground, he fell to the ground and just stared at it. Dauphin continued to stare at it as the SWAT sped off into the sunset. Frey walked over to him, "We can still get him". Dauphin looked at him, "Yes, we will". Jord stood up from her spot on the ground, she had been knocked over, "We need to use that disc, we have to jack out".
"Fine, get us out of here"
Frey whipped out the phone with a flick of his wrist, "Echo, its time to get us out of here"
'There's a payphone right across from you....and what's happened to Bacchus?' she asked with concern.'Don't fucking push it' said Dauphin cooly.

We know where she's at now. It's time we go after her"
"...and Destroy the building, and storm the building, and buy a pizza....." Cross grumbled.
"Shut up" Frey struck out again. Dauphin was first to lean back in his chair, Jord followed seccond, Cross was third and Frey was last.
"Gentlemen and Lady" Echo began as she was inserting the needle into the back of their heads, "It's time to go back. I will turn on the fasten seatbelt sign if and when we hit a pocket of turbulence" and then she slammed her finger down on the computer, "Ciao guys, good luck".
All of their eyes shot open as they felt themselves drifting out of reality and into The Matrix. They were in an empty warehouse now, orange faded away from around them.
Dauphin flicked his head back and his long blue hair whirled by him. Frey sat down and the phone in his pocket rang, "Yes, Echo?" He said.
"You guys are just outside of that building, It's maybe three blocks down"
Dauphin full throttled at the warehouse slide doors and jabbed his right fist through the handle. A loud metal vibration echoed throughout the warehouse. He stuck his hand through the other side and opened the doors. Frey jogged up to his friend and unclicked the handle on their side. He glared at Dauphin with worry. Jord kept Cross back so they can talk privately.
"Dude, you alright, maybe you should back off on this one, somethings on your mind."
Dauphin leaned towards the punctured door, staring hard at the ground, as if he were trying to move it with his eyes." I'm fine" he lied.

Dauphin felt into his pocket and felt the holster of a gun, he brought it out and held it against his chest and stepped outside of the warehouse, "It's time to go kill this son of a bitch"
"This is getting to him" Frey said to Cross. Cross nodded, so did Jord. She was standing next to Cross. "He even appears different now, he's not the same person inside here now".
"Eizus wanted this," Fran said, "But now he is going to get more than he bargained for"
"NOW PEOPLE! WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME! GOD KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK HE'S DOING!" Dauphin shouted and walked out of the building letting the door shut. Frey nodded and opened the door again and walked out into the blinding sun, "Yes folks, time to go die"

Bacchus woke up with a headache. She was binded onto a chair, looking at a window. Outside showed the entire Matrix, but behind was none other than her abductor.

"So this is it?" Frey asked, staring upwards. The building was a humongous black tower, it was at least thirty floors high. It was placed towards the center of the city so it camouflaged with the rest of the area around it. "Frey, you said your going to storm the building, are you ready?" Dauphin huffed to him. He glanced up from the ground for a quick moment, his eyes had now turned a different shade. Frey nodded and then Dauphin handed him a gun, a pistol. "It won't be much help, but there's going to be a whole fuckload of guards after you, we'll fall in after we think it's time"
"Man of much confidence"
"It's what I'm known for" Dauphin nodded, and rushed to the sides of the door, he pressed himself on the side of it, so that he couldn't be seen. He signaled for the rest of the team to do the same, and then Frey opened the doors.
The inside of the building was in the theme of black as well, there were two floors big enough for a small house to fit in. Five security guards got up as Frey walked through the metal detector.

The guards got ready and withdrew their night sticks."Hault!"said the one in front of Frey. Almost without motion, Frey double kicked the guard clear across the lobby. The others jumped and tried to subdue him. Frey chuckled and said "Let's dance"The guards circled him and all swung individually at a possible weak spot. But Frey backflipped so high, he landed outside the circle, got his pistol ready, and opened fire. The guards flopped like dummies and dropped. Frey landed on both feet and threw the pistol away. No sooner had he passed the security corpses when a fleet of the remaining SWATs the team encountered earlier arrived. They were out of riot gear, and from the look of it, all unarmed. One stepped up and threatened Frey by pointing at him."YOU THERE!!! DROP WHATEVER WEAPONS YOUR CARRYING AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!!"Frey laughed and unsheathed his sword. The SWATs looked at each other with confusion and charged at him. With a half grin, he got into a leaned on his back foot and then lowered himself so that he was crouched with his sword facing outwards and said "Fine,"
The SWATs once again circled around him, this time Eizus wouldn't be here to help them out. It was between him and the twenty or thirty of them. The Swats moved forwards again and threw their riot shields outwards, Frey launched a kick to one of them, and shattered through the plastic that the shields were made out of. He moved his foot away to discover his foot was surrounded by the shield. He flicked his foot to the left and it flew off and smacked into another Swat. He leaned backwards and a night stick flew over him, gunshots began to echo off of the walls. And at the moment, he realized that the Swats were armed with more than just nightsticks and shields. He heard glass shatter as the door broke open, and he saw Dauphin standing there with his staff out. He jumped outwards and ran over to him, Swat in full tow, "Ready for the final fight with these guys?". Dauphin nodded and Cross ran out from behind him, throwing his chains into the crowd, watching two of them wrapped around the swat teams neck. Dauphin brought out another gun and unloaded six shots into the crowd and ran into them, swinging his staff. Frey followed, slashing to the left and slicing those who got up. Frey jumped up into the air, and found himself sailing through it. He landed behind one of the swat team and slammed his fist into the back of the mans head and watched him go down. Jord was firing kicks off left and right, knocking people back. Bullets began to rip into the walls, and Jord leaped back, watching them ripple past her. She ducked to the ground and crawled out of the way, she saw Frey running towards her. She threw a chair at him, and he caught it. He whirled around and threw it at one of the men with guns, watching the wood splinter against him. Frey smiled to himself, it seemed impossibly cool until he felt a gun pressed up against his head, "dodge thi…." he heard a voice say, and he cut it off slamming his sword into the man's chest, "This" he mumbled. Dauphin slammed his staff into another mans hand, causing him to drop the machine gun in his hand. He slammed the staff down on it and watched it shatter against the ground. He then brought the other half of it downward on the man's head, knocking him out.
The ground was layered with dead bodies all over. Cross wrapped his chains up and put them back inside his pocket, while Jord stood up and brushed herself off, then wiping the sweat off her forehead. Dauphin kept his two staffs in each hand ready, then turned to Frey.
"We're going up the stairs, to the next floor, your'e gonna have to hold the others back....will you?" he huffed.
'Go......getting Bacchus is my main concern' said Frey cleaning the blood off of his sword with a cloth.
"Yeah, mine too" he answered,"Here comes the rest.....now kick ass"
While the other three left Frey to head to the emergency stairs, the rest of the SWATs took positions in both the upper and lower floors. The ones at the bottom were fully equipped with night sticks, riot shields and pistols. Frey knew focused real hard as the Swats fired at him. He threw himself backwards and watched the bullets flying by him in slow motion, leaving ripples of waves. He landed on his hands and flipped back onto his feet, only to have three night sticks whacks him sqaure in the chest. All air left out of Frey as he slid across the lobby floor.
The leading SWAT member signaled the other to approach. One stooped down to see if Frey was really unconscious. He looked at the SWAT leader.
"Sir, do we cuff him?" he asked
"Go for it,"
The stooped guard then screamed in pain, for his right arm was chopped off by a vertical swing of Frey's blade. Frey opened his eyes and jumped to his feet, where the first thing he did was stab the one armed SWAT in the throat. He thrusted the sword out of the man's neck and twirled around and jabbed his sword upward out of instinct. One swat was sweeped off his feet as the sword stabbed through his chest. Frey swung the sword back down ( The swat was pretty heavy ) and the body was thrown into the remaining group, knocking them out cold. The upper balcony SWAT grew impatience and pulled out their pistol and shot at Frey. Frey dove behind one of the pillar and disappeared behind it.
The SWAT stopped firing but kept their guard up. The leader of the upper balcony, had his hand up, ready to signal them.
"Okay, we got him, let's move in" and lowering his hand, the SWATs withdrew their weapons and jogged to their right. The leader turned to the corner and the sound of a whirling blade was heard. There a soft "THUMP" as the body of the leader hit the ground,dead. The others got their guns ready until they heard a shout.
"Peekaboo!!"Frey dropped behind him and threw his sword at the closest SWAT. He died the moment the sword went through his skull, and the others charged in. Frey plucked his blood soaked sword out and jumped in. He kicked one guard right off the balcony, making him hit the service counter. They got their pistols ready until Frey spun around in a full 360 spin. At first, nothing happened, but the next second, the top part of their guns fell off. Frey was moving so fast that he looked like a blur to everyone's eyes. He jumped and kicked one guard in the face and swung his leg the other way hitting one SWAT into a wall. One of them attempted to hit Frey with a riot shield, but Frey caught it in mid-air, and bashed the SWAT opposite of him with it. The shield shattered in pieces and broke every bone in the SWAT's body. Frey was in tuned with his instincts, so well that he caught a night stick without his mind telling his left arm to do so. He stabbed the guy trying to hit him and swung the night stick in a powerful 180 degree spin. The stick made impact on the side of one SWAT's face. Frey relieved himself of the night stick, for it went through the man's head. The last SWAT member look at Frey with fear, and ran the other direction. He raced down the stairs to reach the exit, but Frey, focusing the last bit of energy he had in him, crouched down and jumped as high as he could off the second floor. He went as high as thirty, and coming down, he positioned the tip of his sword facing down. With both hands, he stabbed the top of the last remaing SWAT's shoulder, with such energy, the sword sunk deeply into the torso. Frey landed hard and looked at the damage he caused. He then pulled the sword out of the SWAT's shoulder and wiped it cleaned with an extra cloth he had in his trenchcoat. Blood was smeared all over the blade, but that wasn't as bad as the lobby, which looked like a human butcher shop. Sighing deeply, he sheathed his sword and ran up the stairs to catch up with the rest.
Dauphin kicked back against a wall by a hallway. Frey walked up the stairs to see a giant hallway and a whole row of elevators. Dauphin looked at him, "You had to be that brutal?"
"I sense that they weren't human man" Frey mumbled. Dauphin huffed and glanced around, "Echo is late on her usual just in time phone…"
RING!!!
Dauphin sighed"..Never….FUCKING…mind"
