Chapter 12: Cleaning up Blood

The darkness of the night engulfed the mansion. The building's spotlights cut through the blanket of darkness, scanning the ground for any signs of intruders. Guards patrolled the grounds, M4 carbines in their aims. Others were on the roof, their eyes peering down the scopes of their SVD sniper rifles. These servants of Blood had only one objective; protect their master. Any intruders were to be automatically shot. No questions asked, just shot. They weren't going to argue due to the fact that he signed their paychecks.

As one of the guards passe by the gate, he stooped. He noticed the front lights of a car coming to the area. He got on his mike, telling the guards of the oncoming vehicle. He put up his hand to signal the vehicle to stop. It was then that he jumped to the side, upon realizing that the car was heading towards the gate at an incredible fast speed. The gate was knocked aside by the vehicle as it crashed through and headed for the mansion. Guards began to fire their weapons at the vehicle, but the bullets harmlessly bounced off of the vehicle. The vehicle finally reached the front, but wasn't stopping there. It crashed through the door, taking the door and much of the outer wall with it. It then came to a grinding halt in the middle of the room, the dust settling from the crash.

The guards moved into the room from the new hole in the wall and by the stairs. They then realized why the vehicle had survived the previous happenings. It was an APC decked out in green cameo paint. The transport had on incredibly strong armor, which allowed it to survive the crash and weapon fire. The guards continued to move closer to the unknown vehicle. Just then, a pillar came out of the top. The guards stopped, unaware of what was happening. The turret then started to spin, which would of seemed pointless hadn't it been for the automatic fire coming from an opening on it. The guards tried to run from it, but those who didn't make it were torn apart by the bullets. As soon as the room was calm once again, a door opened on the side of the APC and out came Python, Greg, and Jinx. Of course, they were ready for the battle at hand. Python had an M-16 assault rifle with grenade attachment on it in his hands, three grenades on his belt, and his Colts in their holsters. Jinx, seeing her hex powers as being more effective for her defense, was armed with only her prized revolver in her shoe. Greg was the one with the most weapons. He was holding two Tech-9s in each hand, an AK-47 and SPAS-12 shotgun on his back, two Magnums and two Desert Eagles in holsters, and grenade al around his belt.

"And they said the Chain Gun and APC were a waste of money." Greg said. "Well, you proved them wrong," Python stated. "Okay, do we know the plan?" "Take down Blood. Wipe out any opposition that gets in the way." Jinx replied. "Perfect. Let's move out." Just then, a patrol of guards entered the area. Python aimed his M-16 and fired a grenade at them, blowing a lot of them away. Other guards fired at them from the balcony, forcing them to take cover. Jinx fired a hex blast at the balcony, causing an explosion that sent guards over the edge. "Go to hell, you SOBs!" Greg yelled as he charged up the stairs. Guards were coming down to stop them, but he tore through them with his sub-machine guns like it was no problem. "The positive and negative effects of giving a Vietnam veteran Crack and guns." Python remarked as he and Jinx followed him up the stairs.

More guards continued to come, but were cut down by gunfire, explosions, or hex blasts. Eventually, they were halfway there when it got challenging. The three were proceeding down a hallway when a voice from behind yelled, "Stop!" they turned to meet Surge, staring at them dead on. "Surge?" Python asked. I am here to destroy you. I must protect Brother Blood." He said in a hypnotic voice. "Surge, fight it! You don't have to…" Python began, but was cut off as Surge charged up electricity in his hands and said," Quiet! Prepare to die." "Python, you and Greg go get Blood. Surge is mine." Jinx said. "But Jinx…" Python began. "Go!" she yelled back as she headed towards Surge. Python hesitated, but headed down the hallway with Greg behind him.

"You should of let them stayed," Surge stated, "You could of needed the help!" he then fired a blast of electricity at her, which was easily avoided. She retaliated with a hex blast, which he blocked with a wall of electricity. He didn't see Jinx delivered a spin kick to him, which sent him into the wall. He then threw a punch at her, which she blocked and then came in with her own. He blocked it as well and once again tried to punch her, but she jumped back from his blows. "This is taking to long." He replied. "You're right. I'm just wasting time with you." Jinx replied.

"Well, I say we take it up a notch." He said as he removed his sunglasses and threw them to the ground. Jinx looked at his exposed eyes and saw that they were entirely red. "Your sunglasses?" she asked. "They are more then just a fashion statement." Surge replied. His hand then charged with massive amounts of electricity. He charged on of them into a ball and threw it at Jinx. She jumped over it, but had to continue dodging as he shot more of them at her. He finally caught her of guard and fired a stream of electricity at her. She screamed as the electricity continued to shock him, slowly making her drop to her knees. "Looks like you're out of ideas." Surge said as he walked towards her. "Actually, I'm not." She replied as she fired a hex blast at his side. He turned to relies it had hit a column, which was now falling towards him. He screamed as the object dropped, and then he was silenced as he was crushed. Jinx got up as blood started to flow from where the body had laid. "He got a shock." She remarked as she headed of to help Python.

During the battle, Greg and Python had made it up to Blood's office. Just then, a squad of guards came in to stop them. But, like all the others, they were torn apart with a blast form the SPAS-12 that Greg had equipped. "I haven't had this much fun since The Tet Offense!" Greg yelled. "Greg," Python said as he stood in front of the doors to his office," we can turn back now." "I ain't a coward." Greg replied as he pumped his weapon. "Well here we go." Python said as he kicked the doors open. There, in his chair and staring at them, was Brother Blood. "Python," he said as the two walked in," why did you do all of this?" "Because you started it." He replied. "I mean, you kill my only students on my side, ruin my mansion, and kill a good multitude of my guards. I am disappointed. I all ready had enough problems with the Titans." "Here, I'll end your anger." Python said as he fired off his M-16 at Blood. But, he realized that he had shot at nothing but thin air. "Nice attempt," Blood said as the two realized he was behind them, "but I some tricks up my sleeves."

He then ripped off his robe to reveal a red and grey fighting suit. Blood then charged a red energy ball and fired it at the two. The explosion knocked them to the sides, but they quickly recovered. Greg got out his AK and fired, but Blood dodged the shots with incredible accuracy. Python tried using his assault rifle again, but failed as Blood moved with ease. Python then dropped the assault rifle and threw a grenade at him. Blood caught the grenade and threw it at the ceiling, causing an explosion that caused a multitude of debris to fall to the ground. "Is that all?" Python asked as he charged at him.

Python took a punch to the face, leaving him with a nasty mark. He tried to deliver a blow to him, but Blood dodged it with ease. He continued try a nail Blood, but he was too fast. Blood then delivered a kick to his stomach, making him crouch down in pain. "Come on now," Blood said, looking down at his fallen opponent, "I want you learned from my school." "I learned plenty." Python replied. He then quickly rolled to the side and yelled," Now, Greg!" Greg then leaped from behind the desk, his Magnum pointed at Blood. With Blood off guard, he fired the Magnum. As soon as a huge crack erupted from the gun, Blood was sent flying across the floor. Blood was seen flying from his body as he dropped to the floor. "How do you like my customized armor piercing bullets, you bastard?!" Greg shot back. He then looked in shock as Blood jumped back up. "They are nice, but I moved away quick enough for them to just graze my side." The two then saw that only a bit of his side was cut, and blood was slowly dripping from it. He then fired a red energy blast at Greg, which went right through him, but also propelled him through the office's stained glass window.

"Greg!" Python yelled as he watched his friend's body break the window, sending himself and pieces of glass to the ground. "Such a pity. I really did think that would work." Blood remarked. "You go to hell." Python stated. "I think I'll let you go first." Blood replied. His eyes then flashed red as Python's did the same. Python was fighting it however, which surprised Blood. "Should have used that pill on yourself instead of that worthless girl." Blood said. He then forced Python's hand to his Colt. He picked it up and tried to force it away, but the muzzle was now right under his chin. "I hope you have a nice trip." He said as Python's finger was forced towards the trigger. Just then, two shots broke the silence as Blood was seen dropping to the ground in pain. Python got up and turned to see Jinx walking towards Blood, her revolver still smocking. He too went over to blood and they both looked down at him, blood pouring from his chest and his eyes half opened. "What did you say about me being worthless?" she asked as Python aimed his Colt at Blood's head. "Later Blood." Python screamed as he pulled the trigger. The bullet hit Blood square in the head, causing Blood to eject from the hole. Blood's eyes went wide in shock, and then closed, never opening again.

The two looked at each other as Python stated," I thought you wouldn't make it." "I always get to the party on time." She replied. Python then grabbed her in an embrace and passionately kissed her. As the two broke away, Jinx asked, "Where's Greg?" Python hung his head low as she said," I'm sorry." "Don't be. He wanted to go that way." Python said. Just then, light entered the room from the broken window. The two walked over to see the sun rising over the horizon. "Blood's dead,' jinx said," what's going to happen now." "Let's see. I got the girl, the money, and now, the title of Blood's killer. Whatever we set our mind to." Python said. "I say we put his money to good use. It's about time this city made way for two new villains." "God, I love you," Python began," you always have good ideas. I mean, we just killed possibly the most feared man in Jump City and have his power. We control it now. The city and the Titans better watch out. We are going to give em' hell."

The End.

Some ending, if I do say so myself. My next work is coming soon. I hope you enjoyed this story. Later!
