Chapter Six: Hearshot Kid Disaster
The ship made it's violent landing on the surface of Paris Earth, just in the outskirts of the main city. The twisting heap of metal lay burning and all life seemed hopeless. The E-Ven was now just a melting rubble pile and Coheed was surely to have died. But the Beast had survived this horrific crash. He broke his way out of the twisted steel and pulled his weak body over a ridge. He was only a few miles from the city, but it was night. The lights of the city lit it up like a huge bulb in the middle of empty space. Coheed drudged his way down the hill and made his way towards the flouresent of the city. He would be there by morning.
In the city, Mariah was using the phone, "Yes sir, I'll be waiting for your call. The Beast should be in the town by sun rise, don't worry." The other line ended the transmission and she put down the receiver. "Now I just have to wait for him to find me... I hope Mayo got it through to him that I am his target. I didn't sign up for this mission for nothing." She walked to the window of her hotel room. She was several stories up, and still had to look up to see the tops of buildings. Off in the distance she could see the light of the burning ship. "Hmph." She closed the window and climbed into the sheets of her bed.
It was now several hours later, and Coheed was only a few meters from the edge of the city. He gazed at the tall buildings and bright lights. As he was caught up in the comotion of the monstrousity that was Paris, someone came behind him. "Coheed, I wasn't finished with you." Coheed's face went from excitement, to anger. He turned around to see Mayo and a small group of Red Soldiers. "You should have let me finish what I was saying before you came at me like that Mr. Kilgannon. I have no intention of killing, or your wife. I have but one simple task, kill Mariah Antillarea!"
"What the hell happened to us finding Jesse! Was that just another lie to get us to come with you? Fuck you Mayo!" Coheed's arm began to bleed as his blades poked out.
"Mr. Kilgannon, in killing Mariah, Jesse will resurface, this is the truth. After Mariah is dead, you are free to go home. We will be able to find Jesse from that point on."
Coheed calmed himself down. "Where would I find this Mariah?" One of the soldiers stepped forward and handed him a UPL. "What is this?" Asked Coheed.
"Sir, this is a Universal Positioning Layout. It has Mariah's location updated every 4 seconds." The soldier then walked back into line. Mayo raised his eyebrow as to seek Coheed's acceptance. Coheed put his hand on his head and looked towards the ground. His face revealed his deep contemplation. He looked up and nodded to Deftinwolf. The soldiers pulled up to Coheed with a small green car and opened the door for him to get into the driver's seat.
Mariah awoke in her small room and looked at the clock. '8:13'. "Damn it! I have to go." She grabbed jumped out of the bed, and grabbed her overcoat from the door handle. She ran out the door and almost literally flew down the stairs to the into the middle of the grand hall. The desk clerk was busy handling someone else, so she left the key on the counter and ran out the door.
The street was crowded and full of people both directions. She ran down to the left towards the market place where it was all set up to go down. She walked into the market and walked up to a small fish stall. She looked down the southern street and waited for the green car to show up in her sights. As she waited, a person grabbed onto her shoulder. She turned around and was face to face with a man known as, "The President".
"You son of a bi.." She was cut off by his fist in her stomach. She fell to her knees and began to cough violently. "What the hell do you want?" President looked down to her.
"I'm here to bring to justice rebel. Wilhelm Ryan knows of your ambitions, and you aren't worth sending the big times after. So here I am, and I'm making a fortune on your head." She laughed at his speech.
"You were always an idiot President, Paris is doomed to flame either way. And besides, you came after me unarmed?" She pulled he hand out of her coat and put her magnum to his guy. His face grew dim. "Where's your faith now?" She pulled the trigger and his blood his the ground. The crowd let out a scream and scattered from the square. President fell down onto his hands and knees.
"I need Mayo..." He coughed up blood and fell on his face. Red soldiers surrounded her with their autoshots in hand. She put her gun unto the ground and her hands in the air. She glanced over her should to the southern street. That green car ran down a few of the soldiers and all the other soldiers diverted their attention to the car. Mariah picked up her magnum and unloaded unto the soldiers. She took down about five when another 20 came out of the surrounded buildings and again had her pinned in.
Coheed stepped out of the car, full blades extended and he ran into the crowd towards Ms. Antillarea. He tore down soldiers to get to her. Her eyes widened as he rushed at her. The remaining men tried to retain Coheed, but they were also cut down. He left one alive, who laid on the ground with his radio. "S.O.S.! S.O.S.!" Coheed slashed his throat and let him bleed to death.
"You Mariah, are my ticket home!" He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into a building. He threw her to the ground and broke a table leg off as a club. "Do you see this leg? This is going to kill Mayo Deftinwolf!" She stood up and dushed off her coat.
"You.. Already knew?" He was confused as to what she mean.
"What do you mean? Knew what? I would rather not take orders from that son of a bitch Mayo, but I don't know if I could beat him now." He dropped the leg on the ground and walked towards her.
"You really didn't know.. Well then, I guess I should fill you in. It would be alot of explaining... I'll just do it the easy way." She picked up the phone and dialed a long number. It began to ring and she handed it to Coheed. He put the received to his ear.
"Hello? Mariah is that you?" Said a mans voice. Coheed paused.
"No.. This is Coheed..."
"Coheed? Is it really you? This is Jesse! You must have met Mariah, it's about time!" They talked for serveral minutes and explained what needed to be done. They got off the phone and he looked at Mariah.
"The lyrics he sang, they all make so much sense now. We have to go meet Jesse on Omega?"
"Yes, and we don't have time to waste, this is extremely important! I have a ship on the west side of the city, let's get going. We will rendevouz with Team-B in Sector 1." They left the room and went to her ship, heading for Planet Omega.
Her pod landed on a desert planet south of Paris Earth. The door opened and she faintly looked off into the distance to see a few figures walking toward her. She was dazed, and believed to see Coheed and Claudio. "Thank you God, for the strength..." She passed out once again.
