Author's Note: I've been keeping track of the views and it's really cool to know that your stuff is being read by people all over the world, so big shout out to the world! Like I posted a while ago, I got a real life changing event coming up so I'll do my best to keep y'all entertained. I won't say much but let's say that it is very much real and so is the danger and that's all.

Here's where the ass kicking commences.

Chapter 22: Unstoppable and Immovable

Time and Date Unknown

Location Unknown

A void, and endless white void. As I walked forward I noticed that my body was black as night and my hands were dripping with blood. Then fire surrounded me and as I looked at the ground were faceless corpses and the sounds of suffering screams.

HELP ME!

MONSTER!

NO! NO! STAY AWAY!

I tried to cover my ears but the screams kept coming through then came the ghosts of those long dead.

I wanted to save your life!

Louis Kennedy.

You let me die!

Khandan Fahim.

You were supposed to protect me Damien!

Moka.

Frightened beyond belief I ran in whichever direction was away from them but next came voices from then surrounding darkness. My trainers, teachers, and those that I used to work for.

You were supposed to spar with him not try to kill him!

He's dead and he didn't even realize he was a father!

Are you so focused on winning that you forgot about your platoon!?

Does anything you do not include destruction and suffering!?

We warned you not to piss us off!

Face it the only thing you've ever been good at is taking away life!

"SHUT UUUUUUPP!"

I then collapsed on the ground with my head in incredible pain. It felt like it was about to split open but then all of a sudden was silence. As I opened my eyes there were piercings of light coming through the darkness. For a moment I thought I was going to return to the white void. But the light then began to condense and form a figure, the figure of a woman, with great long hair emanating from her as if she could move it like an arm or leg. Then eyes formed, deep ice blue eyes that showed a gentleness and a welcome warmth. I then stood up to face her and she then hugged me in a way I saw that was familiar. In that moment my flesh was no longer black and the blood on my hands was gone. The figure then looked up to me and spoke.

"She's in danger."

Daylight, the barn, drugged soup, and falling face first onto a dirty wood floor after standing up too fast. My legs felt like jell-o, my perception was taking a while to get realigned, and my head was throbbing.

"FUCK! What the hell did she use?"

I then checked my watch to see how much time had passed, it was 22 minutes. The distance between this village and the plant was about four and a half miles, there was still time. As I quickly loaded my weapons I grabbed my bag and darted outside to something I didn't want to see, the truck was gone.

Shit! She had to have taken it. Ok think, think, think. Aw fuck it just grab something and go!

As I bolted away from the farm and towards the main street I saw a few people trading at one of the stands from where the farmers were selling their produce but they had nothing but carts and bicycles. That was until after one of the carts opened the view of something I could use. But had never really ridden before.

No choice. Plus it's never too late to learn.

August 6th 2010 1242 Hours

Hong Taiyang Steel, Sali, Ethiopia

When a predator stalks its prey its most crucial method of succeeding in surprise is remaining unseen. But you didn't always need to stay hidden behind cover in order to be invisible. As was Valmet's approach to the steel plant's front gate, with the two plain clothes guards armed with Norinco copies of western assault rifles. Unaware that the woman approaching them was deadly in every way possible. The guards must have assumed from a distance her black hair and slightly pale skin she was Chinese but her eyes were hidden behind sunglasses.

"Bang ni?"

(Help you?)

"Duibqi, chufei ni zai zheli you shengyi, women buneng ran ni tonggouo."

(Sorry but unless you have business here we can't let you pass.)

Valmet then answered without really caring what they said as she took off her glasses.

"Yeah, I think this will be rather easy."

Before they could even react she bursted forward with lightning speed and slashed both throats of the men. But not before one of them let off a burst of fire from the reaction of the attack. Unfazed that her ability to sneak was now ruined, Valmet then began her hunt for Guoming Chen.

As the alarms then started blaring all over the mill. He was sitting in his office smoking his favorite brand of cigar filling out paperwork as if nothing happened. He then turned to his newly promoted lieutenant.

"Lee, zhao chu zhe shi guanwu he chuili ta."

(Lee, find out what that was about and deal with it.)

He acknowledged by nodding his head and then headed out towards the commotion. He then got on his radio.

"Suoyou danwei baogao. Fashengle shenme!?"

(All units report in. What's going on!?)

"Yixie weiraozhe mofang paobu de nuren kan diao dajia!"

(Some woman's running around the mill slashing up everyone!)

Valmet was pushing herself faster than she had ever done before. She kept to cover by moving around and using anything she could find to shield herself from gunfire. Crates, buildings, dumpsters, steel drums, containers, vehicles, human bodies, anything. Unless they weren't armed they were hostile, each slash and each thrust was to be fatal and move on to find Chan. Panic was beginning to consume the mill as workers were running away from the gunfire and the mad one eyed woman that was killing men armed with assault rifles with just two knives. Knowing he had no intention on failing on his first assignment to General Chan, Lieutenant Lee prepped his support modified T95.

"Ta xianzai zai nali?"

(Where's she at now?)

"Women wufa dedao renhe qingxi de jingtou! Ta pao bianle suoyou de zoulang!"

(We can't get any clear shots! She's running around all the corridors!)

"Ba ta chong chulai dakai! Ju ji dui dai ta chuqu!"

(Flush her out into the open! Sniper team take her out!)

Her main objective was Chan but she had to make sure that no one else was there to protect him and she needed to have a way out without too much trouble. Each stab was followed up with a slash, when another group was nearby she used a man's body as a shield, when she was had the high ground she flanked a group and flew down onto them like a hawk grabbing a rabbit with its talons. Her one gold-brown eye full of raging vengeance for those that she lost on that fateful day. She felt like nothing could stand in her way. But another group of eyes were on the hunt as well. The sniper team was already making way to the water tower. Valmet was holding her own against Chan's men but she had to keep moving to avoid being hit. Little did she know she was being lured into a trap.

1253 Hours

Main Gate

Back at the main gate the workers continued to make a quick exit almost running over each other in the process. But they quickly got out of the way when a tall and muscular young man with long brown hair blew past them on an old dirt bike. He seemed to be heading towards the sounds of the gunfire. As he speeded further into the mill he was cut off by two armed guards. They then saw what was coming towards them, but before they could aim and fire he twisted the bike in a way that it would slide towards them like a battering ram. Jumping off the bike and landing in a roll, he let the bike do the work and sent the men flying. He then saw more guards coming to inspect the commotion, he leaped up quickly and pulled up a PDW letting the Chinese know that there was a real life nightmare in the mill.

"Alright you red bastards. Let's do this."

Lee was doing his best to remain calm but his frustration was apparent when his radio came to life again with a panicked voice.

"Women you ling yige ruquin zhe!"

(We got another intruder!)

"Gaisi de! Nali?"

(Damn it! Where?")

"Ta zhengzai qianwang yelian qu."

(He's heading for the smelting area.)

"Wo hui chuli ta de nimen qita ren sha sin age nuren!"

(I'll handle him. The rest of you kill that woman!)

Lee then racked the bolt back on his T95 and made for the second intruder was at. He was already causing mayhem by getting the drop on the guards and killing them faster than they could react. He was making for the foremen's over watch office overseeing the smelting line three stories up. Those that were at a distance got a burst of 4.6mm rounds. Those that got too close got a face full of 00 buckshot painting floors and walls red. Those that he surprised received steel that pierced through them and were tossed aside as if they were weightless. As he sprinted across the catwalks he seemed unfazed by the heat of the molten steel that filled the whole area, his cold blue emotionless eyes scanning around for others like a machine. After busting open the over watch office, he made for the control panel and after a quick look deducted which button activated the speaker for the entire mill. He then pulled out some cords and his cell phone.

"I'll just get a new one later. I always kept my contacts written down anyway."

After hooking up his phone to the console he heard gunfire outside, she must have been heading in his direction. He went to look at the other window that oversaw some shipping containers next to a water tower. He then noticed movement up top, a sniper team setting up their perch.

1300 Hours

Near the Blast Furnace

Come on where the hell could he be?

Valmet just finished checking her second building but there was no sign of Chan. She then made a mad dash for the next one that looked a little more comfortable that it should. While avoiding the fire of those that were chasing her. But she was unaware that she was being targeted through a scope.

"Ta pao xiang women."

(She's running right toward us.)

"Huo."

(Fire.)

Bang!

The sniper fired but the shot barley grazed past her cheek. Aware that she was now in someone's sights she dove down to the building next to her for cover.

"Ni zenme hui cuoguo de!?"

(How the hell did you miss!?)

The spotter got no answer from his sniper. When he looked to him there was a penny sized hole in his temple. He then quickly looked in the direction the shot came from, a shattered window from the smelting area indicated it's direction. He grabbed the rifle from his fallen comrade but a second shot came out before he could aim. Gravity took over and he fell off the water tower onto the concrete with a sickening splat and crunch. As Valmet was wondering who fired those shots the announcement speakers stopped sounding the alarms and instead was replaced with a techno rhythm and an electronic sounding voice.

Time to rock and roll.

Time to lose control.

Time to rock and roll.

Time to take control.

Time to rock and roll.

Time to lose control.

Time to rock and roll.

Time to take control.

"What in the hell?" She said flabbergasted.

1302 Hours

Smelting Area

I knew this thing would come in handy one day.

As I reloaded my scoped Center Fire, I grabbed the mike for the speakers since the song was in between riffs. A little psychological warfare could go a long way.

"Sophia! Come on your stronger and faster than this! Find Chan and kick his ass! I'll handle his thugs!"

Time to rock and roll.

Time to lose control.

Time to rock and roll.

Time to take control. Lose control. Lose control. Lose control.

As I left the song on a loop I made my way out of the office to wherever the hell I was gonna go next. We were already past the point of proper planning, so I figured I just wing this shit and prayed the both of us got lucky. But the downside of rushing into shit guns blazing was that could also happen to you. As I left the office I got a massive spray of automatic fire. I sprinted across the catwalk to the other side without stopping. I had to get back to ground level to find more solid cover. So I had to take a leap of faith, literally, and jumped over the side and hopped down the exposed stairs like a monkey grabbing branches as he descended from a tree. As I hit the floor I got hit with more fire and sought cover behind some machinery. After looking around on where to go next I saw a couple of large valves with large indicator dials, normally anything that was highlighted in red meant something bad was gonna happen if the dial didn't go down.

Time for another distraction.

I didn't know what pipes these were and I didn't care as long as it gave my enemies a headache and kept them away from Sophia. As I finished the last valve I got hit with more automatic fire again. I then sprinted to a concrete barrier marked with caution stripes. How the hell I wasn't hit I don't know but I saw who was shooting at me. A big Chinese guy that was barking some very angry tone on his radio, he must have been Low's replacement. I had to get back outside and find Sophia, which meant I had to go through him.

"You assholes fucked with the wrong team." I pulled out both my .45's and attacked.

1307 Hours

Nearing the Office Complex

Time, time, time to attack.

Time, time, time to attack.

Time, time, time to attack.

"I don't know how you're up and moving but thanks for covering my back Damien. The music though is a little over the top."

Time, time, time to attack.

Time, time, time to attack.

Time, time, time to attack.

After catching her breath Valmet did exactly what the lyrics of the song were saying, staying on constant attack. Chan's guards thought that it was inconceivable that one woman with knives was effortlessly carving through them without stopping. Since she didn't really know where she was going she just kept running. Knowing that she would eventually run out of his men to kill, Chan then prepared his custom bayonet pistols, Chinese copies of the CZ75, still smoking his cigar.

"Hmm, suoyi kan qilai wo shi zhengque di nage nanhai shi shui. Zai shijie shang, Koko Hekmatyar sheaf rang ta wei ta gongzuo shi chaochu wo de. Dan nage nuren sihu hen shuxi."

(Hmm, so it looks like I was right on who that boy was. How in the world Koko Hekmatyar managed to get him to work for her is beyond me. But that woman did seem familiar.)

He then comfortably sighed while smiling, putting out his cigar.

"Zhuyao Sophia Velmer he Duizhang Damien Andrushko. Sihu you keneng wo hui shu."

(Major Sophia Velmer and Captain Damien Andrushko. It appears that there's the possibility that I will lose.)

1311 Hours

Shipping Dock

After shooting my way out of the smelting area I ended up in the loading docks. Chan's new body guard and his goons were right behind me. There were three semi-trailers parked with rolled steel waiting to be delivered. Two of them were running and had the doors open. It looked like when Sophia was starting her rampage they must have ran when the alarms went off. Speaking of things going off there were a couple of blasts coming from the smelting area. Looked like whatever pressure was building up gave way. But only enough for smoke to come out of the building and not level it.

Suddenly I heard rushing footsteps and one was behind me, I dispatched him quickly but the rest appeared behind him and opened fire. I then took cover behind the front of the rig. I then realized that I could probably take them all out in one flash, a hot one to be more specific. Diesel may not have been as flammable as gasoline but if you had a pretty good combustor you could get this stuff burning rather quick, say for example a hand grenade. I then pulled out my knife and stabbed the bottom of the tank to let the fuel loose. Then after seeing that it was clear made my way to the next trailer. As I got to the last trailer I punctured the last one but was immediately hit with a spray of bullets. Returning fire with my MP7 one handed I made for the end of the truck, I sheathed my knife and pulled out a grenade. Chan's new replacement really wanted me dead. It was then that I heard more fire in the distance, I noticed a separate building fenced off from the shipping dock that was not connected to the rest of the mill. For a brief moment I saw a figure slash two guards and dart inside.

Found her. Time to move.

Knowing I was going to be seen and shot at I sprinted back to the side entrance of the shipping dock and threw the grenade down under the center truck. I avoided the bullets and the blast erupted. While small the fire that started after that spread quickly two the other two trucks. With no place for the pressure to escape, the tanks on the other two blew and fire spread everywhere and Chan's guards were caught in it. Ignoring the screams of men on fire I followed the trail of bodies Sophia left behind into the office building.

1316 Hours

Office Complex Top Floor

Time to rock and roll.

Time to take control.

Lose control. Lose control. Lose Control.

Lose control. Lose control. Lose Control.

She was in the home stretch, nothing could stop her now.

Faster! Faster! This is for my men! I hear all of you!

Pretty much the last of Chan's guard was down. Valmet was at full speed dashing to the room that was most protected. Her prize was behind a simple marked door. She kicked it open with such force the whole thing flew off its hinges.

"THEY'RE SCREAMING "THANK YOU MAJOR!""

"Heh. Sorry but you do realize dead men don't talk." Chan was still in his seat, relaxed and unmoving.

"These do, they're my men, their souls alive and well in me. Guoming Chan your life is mine."

"Very brave move to start rampaging on Chinese soil and try to kill a General of the PLA. Major Velmer, formally of the FRDP? You've aged quite a bit."

"Funny coming from your wrinkled old ass. Funnier still that you remember me."

"Well I can't remember every person I've killed in my career. But you're an exception to one that didn't kill."

Second Floor

Sophia was definitely cleaning house. I had made my way past eleven corpses now, walls littered with bullet holes and blood. There was still one more threat lurking around here, but I wasn't going to rob Sophia of her revenge. As I made my way to the steps that lead to the top floor I opened the door and was greeted by a blast of automatic fire, I got into cover away from the fatal funnel and blind fired my MP7. But I then felt a force on my arm bending in back and I dropped the PDW in pain. I landed a hook on the assailant sending him back but when I pulled out my shotgun he knocked it out of my hand with an incredibly fast roundhouse. It was then followed up with a fast series of strikes and kicks, I was doing my best to block and return blows but I should have expected that at least one of these assholes knew kung-fu. I finally manage to get a hold of him and slam him against a wall. After a quick realization that a portion of his scalp and right ear was badly burned and how much larger he was as the rest of the security, Low's replacement was probably all that was left. I kept my forearm pressed against his neck and delivered a few firm knees to his gut. But he smacked my arm down with both his arms and landed a hook. I managed to block his follow up and land another blow in his sternum and a straight to his nose. But his recovery was ridiculously fast, a straight up high kick caught me in the jaw and came back down on my forehead sending me backwards. But what surprised me next was that he didn't continue his assault. He just stood there like he wanted to make this personal, unfortunately for him I wasn't really a fan of fighting fair. But as soon as I reached for my pistols on my sides, my heart stopped, they weren't there. I then heard two metallic slides in front of me, he threw them behind him, he could have killed me with my own guns and I wouldn't have even known it. It looked like I would have to play his game for now. I then unclipped my vest and threw it to the side.

For a big guy he moves pretty fast. But he's also wounded and extremely arrogant.

I sneered at him. "Sophia hit's a hell of a lot harder than you do shit eater."

He then spoke to me in English. "So you're the so called "Nightmare" that the General told me about. I'm not impressed."

I spat out blood from his kick. "I'm just getting started."

Top Floor

"I actually do remember that day. Your reinforcements were almost there and I hadn't killed that unit's commander. I wondered where you were. Let me guess, you hid under one of the corpses of your own men."

Valmet then gripped her scar again, because she knew it was true.

"It never really surprised me on how much of a pathetic piece of shit you were. I trained myself day and night so that one day I could kill you. But more often than not, I found my fighting style to be exactly like yours, like some sort of twisted irony."

She then held both her blades in a defensive stance. "Get on your feet General! I will take from you what you took form me! EVERYTHING!"

"Let's not get melodramatic, and I think you might want to consider what you just said. That I took everything from you? That means you had to have gotten desperate at one point since you had nothing to begin with you had to take anything you could. You must have been weaker than you thought, you must have been willing to make whatever sacrifice that was necessary for revenge if you had to rely on him in order to finally get to me."

She then looked at him puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play stupid Major, think! Why did I not even bother chasing after Hekmatyar when you massacred Karen Low's unit in South Africa? It's because I found out not long after that on who that young man was, or if he's even a man at all."

"Damien?" She said blinking several times and relaxing her stance.

"If that's what you call "The Nightmare" then yes. A madman who on his very first combat deployment slaughtered his unit and an entire base and then travels the world as a mercenary doing almost anything for money. He also has a habit of doing whatever he thinks is right and fires just seem to start burning really hot in wherever he's at. It will be just a matter of time before he does the same thing to your boss, HCLI, and you. It's a matter of when not if."

Second Floor

He wasn't just fast he was also agile as well. He landed a high kick in my left temple and managed to stay out of my long reach but he didn't seem to know that I relied on far more than just brute strength. He came at me with a straight but I closed the distance by sliding along his arm and landing an elbow in his burned ear. Taking advantage of his pain I grabbed his striking arm and threw him over my shoulder. I finished up with a down strike stomp but he rolled out of the way. He then attempted a leg sweep on the ground but I jumped back out of the way. He got back up and attempted another forward spin kick but I caught his leg and moved forward by grabbing his face and pushing forward while sweeping his leg. I then fell on top of him and delivered two solid punches before placed my arm in a lock and delivered a kick to the back of my head while he was on the ground. He then attempted to place me in an arm lock hoping to break it, but I then remembered when I fought Sophia on the hotel roof and didn't let him finish getting in position. Now was the time to use my brute strength, I kept a firm grip on the man and grabbed his legs as tried to get the grapple in. With a fearsome shout I picked him up off the ground and threw us both through a door into a meeting room. I got up first, standing dominantly over a man who not more than ten seconds ago was not impressed. Now he didn't look like he knew what to do.

Game over asshole.

Top Floor

"Judging from the commotion downstairs he's living up to his expectations. I'm really surprised at you Major, you were so desperate for revenge you trusted a monster? You're even weaker than you were all those years ago."

Valmet then growled and tightened her defensive stance.

"Damien has nothing to do with the two of us! And whatever you've heard about him is wrong! He told me EVERYTHING about what happened to him, he's not that same man. He stuck with me when I forced him to leave, he was the one who tracked you down, he also saved my life so that I could get to you! I owe him for allowing me to reach my goal."

"Do you even hear yourself? Look outside…you may only wanted to come here and kill me but he decided to start setting the whole mill on fire and kill whoever you missed. He craves carnage and enjoys it. Don't believe me? Then what's with that music that's blaring. This is just nothing more than another way to prove he believes war is enjoyable. Why are you defending…"

He then realized something seemed so obvious and then smiled arrogantly.

"Now what?" She said with annoyed frustration.

"I don't believe this, you're infatuated with him aren't you?"

She held her stance seemingly unfazed by his remarks of trying to get into her head.

"Hmpf. I knew it, you find his methods of destruction and killing fascinating. He's everything you thrive to be and more. I wonder what killing him would do to you."

Sweat was rolling down her face but her composure remained the same no matter what Chan said. She had already come too far to let him break her. She then thought what Damien would have said in a time like this.

"I don't got time for this shit!"

She charged at Chan before he could even blink but he caught her blade on his bayonets. Despite his age and injury his skill hadn't deteriorated in the least as he stopped Valmet's strike dead in its tracks.

"That's the spirit Major! Prove to me that you are worse than me and him! You know I should thank you! I haven't been in a fight for a long time, it's exquisite! Don't let my injury fool you! I DON'T NEED TWO GOOD LEGS TO KILL YOU!"

He forced her back and fired the first shot. Remembering her duel with Low she dodged the shot and moved in with a combination of strikes but Chan was actually holding his ground and seemed to be ignoring the pain from his leg. Each strike Valmet was throwing had more and more aggression. And behind each strike was for her dead comrades.

Second Floor

I shouldn't have turned my back on Low's replacement when I heard that shot. That full on spinning back kick actually sent me flying into a filing cabinet. With my back landing directly on the corner I didn't necessarily get up right away. But at least this asshole was still just as arrogant.

"Pathetic. This is the Green Beret that's on the American's terrorist watch list? What a fool."

He then tried to kick me in the temple again but I had him right where I needed him. I blocked the kick with my arm and lunged forward striking him in the groin. He then let out a painful scream and stumbled back clutching his balls.

Bang! Bang!

Bang!

The three shots were in a slow method of fire. Sophia was still holding out against Chan, I had to end this fight now. So I decided to throw him off his game with a little of my own confidence, or cockiness depending on how you saw it, and as well as a little bit of honesty.

"Yes dick brain this is him, and he fucking hates himself for doing it. But I finally found a place to call home and a family that will help me get rid of this demon that's inside me. I will never escape my past, but I'll be damned if I let someone I care about come this far to fail."

I stood up focused and clear minded now. If he wanted a fight I'd give him one. Every time I got this close I always made sure I got back to my weapon, I never fought fair. But in this case I'd make an exception I wanted to find out how long he really could last. I had one more trick up my sleeve that I don't think he realized I had. He then got into his defensive stance and I did as well.

"I'll admit something else about myself too. I am stupid. Stupid for believing that the Major would die that easily!"

Top Floor

Strike for strike, parry for parry both fighters were holding their ground. Valmet was able to avoid Chan's shots but his defense was incredibly solid. Valmet missed a slash and Chan struck her forearm like a hammer. Reeling back from the pain Chan fired another shot but missed.

"Come on Major! You can't be at your best if a crippled man is fending you off!"

Valmet rushed in with a series of combos and a spin kick but Chan slashed the kick at her knee. Seizing the moment Chan darted forward using his good leg to deliver a fatal slash but Valmet predicted move and got out of his reach and landed a slash at his shoulder. She then took her first blade and tried to hammer it into his head but he caught it with his pistol. She then followed up with a hook but Chan caught it with his other sidearm. Knowing that he still had ammo he could just shoot her and that would be it. It was then she realized that he kept his good leg out in front constantly. Both their moves mirrored each other and he knew that she would want to take advantage of his bum leg. She just needed to break his defense for one strike, then she remembered something.

I did learn a few things by fighting a big idiot.

She rushed forward again with a hook and another hammer strike. Chan expressed a look of annoyed frustration as he blocked the strikes.

"Same attack!? You have anything-AUGH!"

Her answer was a head butt to his face breaking his nose. Valmet had her opening.

Second Floor

My step kick hit him so had it sent him flying back into the hallway, his moves were becoming repetitive. As he stood back up I delivered with a series of rolling punches. I had to get him back to the stairs. I then hit him with a four combination hook and elbow strike, the backhand sent him stumbling back and falling over. He was running out of steam, and this was getting boring. I stalked him like a predator, I didn't realize it at the time but I then used a term that signified where I was from. I never had the accent since I moved around so much but it was appropriate for this moment. I was a Georgia boy after all.

"Y'all don't seem to understand. That she hit's a helluva lot harder."

He then started scrambling for one of my .45's that he tossed to the side. Only now he realized that he set himself up to be killed. He managed to grab it but I stomped down on his wrist so hard it broke and he let out a painful howl. I then let gravity take over and landed a knee on his back to keep him pinned. I then pulled out my explosive trick, my other grenade, I pulled the pin but kept my fingers on the spoon. Using my free hand I brought him up by his collar but he tried to land a blow to my ribs with his good arm but I looped under it and held it with my elbow. He froze when he saw what was in front of his face.

"And we're both unpredictable."

I let the spoon fly and landed an upper cut with my free arm. I then shoved the frag in his pants and prepared to throw everything I had into it.

Top Floor/Second Floor

Two warriors from the opposite sides of the world. Both were born from nations that were once under the rule of the most powerful empires in the world. Within both nations was conflict so that they both fought so that they could continue to exist. They both fought against the powers that ruled over them to be free. Within two specific wars in their time lines a cry for battle was born. One during a war of how one worshiped God by cutting them apart. The other was a war between brothers with an eagle like shrill of rage.

"HAKKAA PALLE!/YEEEEAAAOOW!"

Seizing the moment she lunged forward and thrust both blades into the neck of Guoming Chan. Then with a violent pull ripped both blades to the sides ripping his neck apart and blood sprayed everywhere. Chan then fell to both his knees facing Valmet, a spray of blood covered her piercing gaze of triumph. As his body fell to the floor, Valmet stood up walk towards his desk and planted her combat knife in it. A sign to whoever came across it to know who killed their General.

With tremendous force Damien delivered a spinning back kick so hard it knocked Lee down the flight of stairs without even hitting one until he landed on the divider that lead to the next floor. What followed next was a sickening fleshy sounding explosion with gore flying all throughout the stairwell. Cold and emotionless from his latest kill he quickly collected his weapons and gear and headed for the top floor. Not caring that he stepped on a piece of what was left of Lee.

As Damien got to the top floor he turned a corner and immediately ran into Valmet both were surprised at the states that they were in. They then approached each other.

"You don't really look good in red." He indicated the blood still on Valmet's face. She tried to wipe it off but it smeared instead.

"How long were you asleep? You've got a serious case of bed head." Damien realized his long hair felt like a tangled mop. He forgot to put it in ponytail.

Both however were glad to see that they were both alive and smiled while they embraced each other in a tight hug. After what was done was done Damien separated themselves.

"We'll celebrate later. Right now we gotta get out of here. Where's the truck?"

"I parked it in an alleyway inside the town, follow me."

As she went for the stairway Damien grabbed her hand.

"Wait! Let's find another way out of this building I don't think you wanna go down those stairs."

"Does this have anything to do with that blast I heard a few seconds ago?"

"Uhh…yeah."

"Well then give me my hand back Captain and we'll go the way I came in."

He looked down and he was still holding her hand. He let go gently.

"Lead on, Major."
