Chapter 17- Die Hard

"Alpha team at floor thirty" Dave yelled through his radio, he stopped in order to wait from a response from the rest of the teams.

"I'm no explosives expert" Cut in Officer Bruce Campbell, "but should this C4 be flashing like this?"

"Oh feck" Replied Dave. "All teams take cover" he yelled through the radio as he began to bolt down the stairs. The rest of the team followed.

Jake and Lao Shi had just caught the Leprechauns. Jake had to get them both as Lao Shi was badly beaten and could not go at full speed. They had just gone back up to the roof.

"Damn it, I can't believe he went in" The Police Chief was shouting. He was suddenly interrupted by a large explosion. A large bang accompanied by a large firball, shot out from all directions of the building on the first few floors. Glass shattered everywhere. This was followed by another a few floors up, and another. It went up like a chain. The SWAT squad had heard the explosions. They all hit the deck at the last moment before their floor exploded. The series of explosions continued up and stopped just below the observation deck. While it was going on, the observation deck was shuddering like crazy.

Then there was silence. No more explosions, but the building was up in flames. There was glass and office part everywhere. No one knew how long the building could last like this. The police Chief then made a decision, which did not seem to reflect his attitude.

He took a step towards the building. He picked up a pistol. "DAMN, I'm going in" he yelled.

Dave lying on the firestairs. There was smoke and fire everywhere. He looked up. He couldn't see his team anywhere. "Bravo, Charlie, Delta squads, report your status" He yelled through the radio. There was just silence. "I said Bravo, Charlie, Delta squads report your status." There was still no reply. A figure then came out of the darkness of the smoke in the burning stairwell. It was Officer Campbell. "I'm still alive sir" The officer announced.

"Is there anyone else alive from our group?"

"One of the Texan guys sir, but it looks like the other one, his brother didn't make it."

"Shall we continue?"

"I'm tired of running, lets shoot ourselves a terrorist ":

"Im willing too" said a voice behind officer Campbell. It was the surviving Texan "Im gonna make those bastards pay for this."

"Lets go then" Ordered Dave

The fire and smoke was hard to battle through up the stairs, but they knew they had to make it. It wasn't as bad in the stairs as it was on the floors but it was still fairly bad.

"This is what happens when you defy Wilhelm. Let my friends go.

"Goddamn you man, I would never let these guys go" Replied a businessman

"Fine then" Wilhelm snorted. He then picked up a pistol and shot the guy in the shoulder. At this, everyone let go.

"I shall get away with this, I got my prize" Wilhelm laughed as he said this. He then pulled out the orb of Mysticism. "The orb, Its mine now "

"Not so fast Man" said a voice, it was Jake.

He and Lao Shi had come down from the roof. Jake was still a little injured.

All terrorists turned around to face them.

"I see you're here to give me back my detonators" Wilhelm taunted

"I could give them back to you man, but while you're here, you would never use them."

"That's why I plan on escaping"

"Not on my watch"

Jake then turned his attention to the unconscious figure against the rule

"Yo what have you done to rose?"

"You mean the Ninja? I just stopped her from interfering."

"You will pay for that, man"

"Here," Wilhelm took Mike wallet "here's uh 5000 rupia? Is that payment enough?"

"You going down"

"No dragon, you are going down"

A gun suddenly cocked from behind the terrorists. They turned to see Officer Campbell, Dave and the Texan.

Officer Campbell started speaking "See this? This is my Boomstick! About $75 from the sporting goods department. Shop smart, shop s-mart" (Disclaimer: This is almost a direct quote from AOD)

"Who are you?"

"We are the swat that you failed to kill" replied Dave angrily.

"Your surrounded Wilhelm" Jake announced "Give up"

Wilhelm suddenly grabbed Mike, stood behind him and held a pistol to his head

"I loved the movies, so lets try this." Wilhelm announced. "Pop quiz hot shot, a terrorist is holding a hostage at gunpoint, any action could get him killed. The hostage is already injured. What do you do? What do you do?"

"Shoot the goddamn hostage Mike shouted" Everyone gasped.

"Go ahead shoot me, go on, shoot me, what chicken?" Mike had obviously lost it. He began struggling.

"Hold still damn it, Oh you are so going to get it"

Anthony snuck around behind Wilhelm while this happened. He grabbed Wilhelm's hand and disarmed him, then put him into an arm lock.

"Now the tables have turned" Anthony laughed.

"Let him go asshole," Yelled Pitt

"Looks like a simple victory for us" Commented Dave

Suddenly as quick as a flash Pitt fired his gun. It hit Anthony in the shoulder. Anthony gasped. Wilhelm broke free and pushed Anthony against the wall. This distracted everyone except for Pitt. No one had realised that he had turned his aim to the American Dragon.

"You die now dragon" Pitt yelled as he fired three times.

Anthony had very quick reflexes. "No!" he yelled, as he jumped in front of Jake. He took all 3 bullets. He fell on the floor.

"Dude," Jake yelled.

Kevin the American businessman grew very angry. He turned to Pitt and crash tackled him into a window. The window broke and Pitt fell out. He managed to grab onto Kevin the American Businessman's arm.

"Get off me Kevin roared" as he was just able to stabilise himself so as to not go out the window as well. Pitt started to lose his grip. A terrorist went to shoot Kevin the American Businessman, but Dave was on him. He got the terrorist first. "Tango Down" He commented to no one in particular. Jake and Lao Shi were still busy with Anthony who lay on the ground.

"I owe my life to you man" Jake whispered

"Tell.. my uh wife I love her" Anthony choked

With that he gasped his last breath and closed his eyes. (Sorry AmDragon but hey you did make the ultimate sacrifice to save Jake)

Crack, part of the floor collapsed, into the fiery inferno below. Jake fell down with it.

As quick as a flash Wilhelm picked up the nearest gun and jumped down the hole with him. "Ill get my detonators id I have to kill that dragon with my bare hands" he said.

More of the floor collapsed. The rest of the terrorists dropped their guns. "We surrender."

"Ok, we have to get out of here, before the building goes. Everybody down. Dave went over and picked up the unconscious Hunts Master. They then followed him down.

The pilot suddenly about faced, and ran to the other side of the room where the stairs up to the roof were. A lot more of the floor collapsed.

"Leave him" Dave ordered, we have to go down the stairs, now.
