Ch.6: Air Time
Niobe cocked her pistol, not letting it waver a millimeter from its place over Varian's head. "You'd better start talking pal, or I'll turn your head into Swiss cheese."
Varian just looked up at her with a smirk on his metal face. "Well?" she asked, her trigger finger squeezing just a bit more.
"Captain Niobe!" yelled Vector from the catwalk. "He's with me. It's ok."
Niobe gave the exile a strange look before stepping aside. Varian was up instantly, back in his human form. A second later, Niobe had her pistol trained on his head again. Varian smirked at her. "Put that away, I mean you no harm."
"No shit you don't," replied the captain, still aiming at Varian. "You turned those cops into sausage meat. Who and what are you?"
"Axel is still in danger. You will get your answers in due time, but Axel is the main priority at the moment," said Varian curtly.
"I'd better," said Niobe, holstering her pistol. "So which way do we go?"
"Up here," said Vector, still up in the catwalk, "this way."
The two on the ground quickly climb a ladder up to the balcony, joining Vector. "Ok. There's a bunch of cops in the next room, and I think they're using the cargo plane in there to move Axel."
"Great," said the captain of the Logos, "do you have a plan?"
"I'll run out across the balcony in the next hanger to draw their fire. Niobe, do you have a sniper rifle?"
"Yes, I have one of their 33SG Sniper Rifles with me."
"Good. You pick off all the cops you can from up here while I distract them."
"And me?" asked Varian, knowing very well what he must do.
"You'll go down there and do your thing."
"All right."
"Everyone ready?" The other two nodded. "Ok, here we go."
Vector burst through the small door, firing one of the SWAT's MP5s. The squad on the ground quickly returned fire, giving Niobe time to position herself and start sniping. Varian was transformed by the time he cleared the doorway, leaping over the balcony rail into the middle of the fray. The battle was fast and bloody; each one played their part to a t. When the last cop was felled by Varian, Niobe slid down the ladder to the ground. She ran for the open hanger doors. "Come on," she yelled over her shoulder, "they're getting away."
Varian took off right behind her, running as fast as his metal body would let him. He caught up with Niobe on the tarmac, the cargo plane taxiing down the runway. "Now miss," said the exile, turning to the captain, "unless you can fly or have another plane stashed somewhere, it looks like we lost him."
"Not this time," she replied, running to the agent's abandoned sedan.
"Humans," muttered Varian, his body slowly shifting to another form. When he was finished, he was in the form of a small, sleek little creature, draconic in nature, with overly large, membranous wings. Varian bunched up his short, powerful legs, preparing to launch his snake-like body skyward. A sound that akin to the crack of a whip, the exile shot up, his long tail lashing behind him. Niobe had succeeded in entering the plane, moments before it took off. Now the cargo plane was streaking up. Below him, an SUV was tearing over the tarmac, in the direction of the aqueducts, following the plane. Varian pushed his wings into a fast almost humming bird speed in an attempt to catch up. The black sedan fell out of the still open cargo bay doors along with other large boxes. The exile could see Niobe inside, helping Axel with his parachute. Then an agent appeared and started to fight with Niobe. Axel managed to jump out of the plane before the agent got the door closed. He has a parachute; he will be fine. But Niobe is still inside with an agent. I must help her. Varian kicked his flying up a notch or two, desperately trying to catch up with the plane. Just as he was reaching it, the cargo bay doors opened again and Niobe kicked the agent out to fall to his doom. She stared at him for a moment before jumping out of the unmanned aircraft. Varian followed her descent in a slow spiral down. Once landed, Ghost, the driver of the SUV, met with them. Before Niobe entered the truck, she turned to the exile, who had turned back to his human form after landing. "I don't know who you are or what you are for that matter, but you're ok." Varian nodded, acknowledging her. "Thanks for everything."
"It was a duty worth serving," replied the gray clad program.
"I hope we meet again," said the captain.
"Yes, but preferably under better circumstances."
The three sped away towards their exit. Varian watched them leave, the cool breeze waving his trench coat about him. Till our next meeting.

SilverD: Sorry for shortness.
DWyrm: To many obligations to make it loinger.
SilverD: See you next time!
Protectress of Dalidon: Well, now you know. Even if you see the cut scenes form the game, you may not get everything. We took the plot from the game itself, so only by playing it would you get everything. Thaks!
Mina-chan AMD: You would understand more if you see the second movie and played Enter the Matrix. That is where the plot is and is headed for the moment. Thanks for the review.
