Chapter 7 part 2
Death's door
Now this was a difficult chapter to write, mostly because I noticed a lot of small problems in the script that needed some fixings. Hopefully this will be satisfactory to read.
As always I do not possess etcetera etcetera.
Okeer's laboratory
The Krogan's laboratory was similar to his master's soul: a dark and decayed place filled with dust and abandoned by all but the most tenacious creatures. The computers were mostly spent and lifeless, the floor covered with yellow dried blood, residue of failed experiments; the wall dented and rusted. Only one place at the center of the lab was still spotless and relatively used, the same place where now Okeer was standing next to a giant test tube filled with a transparent liquid containing what looked like a young Krogan, or at least Shepard thought he was a young Krogan: the creature was massive, at least two meters tall, but the ridges above his head were incomplete; his skin was also scaly but unblemished like the one of a child. A very big, scary child.
Okeer in contrast was clearly old and battered: his ridges were cracked and splintered in various places, his skin a patchwork of scars and burn marks; his eyes were dimmed, the eyes of someone who saw too many things in his life; even his armor was as battered as the owner.
Shepard was in front of one of the oldest creature in the whole galaxy and all of a sudden he felt himself very small.
"Okeer?" asked Shepard in a small voice
"About damn time you showed up Shepard." growled the ancient Krogan without even turning to greet them "You took your time dealing with that toy army outside!"
Shepard was taken aback by this phrase
"Do we know each other?" Okeer snorted and finally turned to see them
"Difficult to not know the human that destroyed the future of my race: Odin Shepard, first human specter and champion of the galaxy that destroyed Saren and his army of evil Krogans clones burning any chance of curing the Genophage in the process with an ocean of nuclear fire. The last part was my favorite: it had depth."
"You do not look very angry." Observed Shepard. He had expected a furious reaction or something like that. Okeer simply shrugged
"Why should I? Saren was a fool! Like all the others he believed that we Krogans were strong in the past thanks to our numbers! Idiots, all of them. You did well in killing him and his pathetic horde of weaklings."
"So you do not want to cure the Genophage." quipped Kasumi
"Of course not human." was Okeer's answer "The Genophage is useful: for ten thousands weak children than die one strong survive. The Genophage isolate the strong from the weak. Let's conserve the Genophage I say, we shall defeat it by climbing a mountain of dead weaklings."
"And the old times of the past?" asked Garrus curious "Do you not want to revoke the time where you swarmed your enemies with your numbers?"
"No Turian, we shall not need them." answered Okeer with an insane smile and pointing and the young Krogan inside the tube
"My work is almost finished and he shall be the prototype of a new race of warriors. The galaxy feared for centuries the horde, but I will make them tremble at the mere sight of the spear."
-Madder than a hatter.- concluded Shepard on his mind. The old Krogan was clearly obsessed with his dream of total mayhem and bloodshed. Creating a new race of Krogans, what a joke.
"Listen Okeer, in all due honesty I do not care about all of this. I am here because I am fighting the collectors and my sources tell me that you have frequent contacts with them. Name your price."
Okeer assumed a thoughtful look before answering
"The Collector you say? Yes I know about them. A very reclusive race, but more than willing to barter with others if you offer them what they desire. I gave them dozens of Krogans and in exchange they gave to me the technology needed to create my prototype, my perfect creation. Yes, maybe I can help you but"
"Attention Blue suns!" a new voice shouted inside the laboratory and probably everywhere on the planet "Okeer has become a menace for the operation. Destroy the laboratory and recover all his notes, we will begin anew with them." said voice was followed by the sound of the energy inside the laboratory slowly fade away, reducing to nothing the already scant lighting.
"Ok this is not good." commented Garrus
"That pathetic coward!" shouted and raged Okeer in front of everyone "She is gonna destroy decades of work in a second by moving a valve! Shepard, stop her. We will talk about the Collector later. I will stay here and save my project. Go!"
Shepard didn't even tried to argue with the old Krogan, now already busy dealing with the energy shortage and desperately trying to keep the stasis tube containing his project stable.
"Great. Those recruitment mission are all so bloody insane." muttered Shepard while exiting from the laboratory and asserting the situation: the land some meters away from the laboratory, in contrast of most of the surface of the planet, had been mostly cleaned out of debris and ruins thus giving Shepard and her crew a clear firing line while they could use various slabs and metal panels placed near the laboratory as cover. The laboratory itself was lightly overhead compared to the floor in general and possessed many places for cover and choke point, giving the squad the higher ground and the opportunity to transform the entire zone in a dead trap. Far from them near a small clearance a dozens of large tube filled with Krogans clones were slowly opening up and Shepard had no doubts that the beasts would have played havoc on everyone once freed.
"Garrus, how many Blue suns are coming down on us?" Asked Shepard while finding the best covering spot along with his companions
"Forty at least" answered Garrus totally serious "And I am ready to bet that the big red dot that I am seeing on the scanner is an YMYR mech."
"Fucking great." Swore Shepard "Ok team, I will take care of the mech when is show its ugly face. Jack, use your biotic against the Krogans when they come close. Garrus, Kasumi, deal with the regular infantry. Lena you will take point near that cover." He pointed at the closest ravine near the clearance "Make it rain grenades like there is no tomorrow and kill any blue suns that manage to bypass our firing line and, for the love of God, do not overextend yourself! There are too many enemies for any of your acrobatics."
"Fine Shepard." quipped Lena.
"Miranda, down with the Kodiack! We need some air support." said Shepard on his intercom
"Acknowledged Shepard. Eta in ten minutes." Answered Miranda
In less than five seconds everyone was ready and in position, their weapons primed. Their enemies did not let them wait.
They were a horde: dozens of blue suns soldiers lightly armored and armed with rifles followed by a couple of their centurions and tech experts. Behind all of them a girl with short blonde hair and armed with a grenade launcher was herding four clone Krogans like a shepherd would do with his flock. This Jedore had brought against them the entire Blue suns garrison coupled with their rookies; Shepard was not sure if to feel honored or annoyed by this.
"Slaughter them all!" snarled the girl pointing at Shepard and his crew and the Krogan quickly complied by charging down the path, bellowing guttural cries, firing wildly and trashing around any unfortunate blue suns in their path.
Their charge was abruptly stopped by a biotic ball of pure energy launched by Jack that sent one of them flying like a rag-doll.
All the enemy stopped charging and firing for a moment, stunned by how quickly one or their heaviest hitter had been defeated and Shepard and Garrus capitalized the moment by shredding the blue suns with a hail of precise gunfire, hitting clusters of them. Bodies hit the floor, coloring the floor with red or blue blood but this did not stop the assault. Small and medium arms fire roared back hammering Shepard's and his companions's posts forcing them to be more careful in their shot, allowing the Blue suns and the Krogan to come closer to them but this was still not enough: Garrus, Kasumi and Shepard were too precise and able to aim and hit their targets in less than a second while their enemies were clearly recruits, most of them barely able to use their weapons and still waiting for finishing their training let alone being precise. Jack launched spheres and blast of pure biotic energy all while laughing like a madwoman and all the poor sods caught by the blast exploded like balloons, the metal of the planet unable to shield them from the attacks and the few soldiers that managed to bypass this gauntlet of death were welcomed with a well placed grenade if they were lucky, a giant sword to the gut if they were unlucky.
More than a dozen of bodies were already on the floor after five minutes of fighting together with the remaining Krogans, but this did not meant that the battle was over. Spurned by Jedore and her grenade launcher they replaced the fallen without pause the blue wave, advancing slowly but relentlessly. Other bodies collapsed on the floor but Shepard and his crew finally showed signs of weariness: Lena's sword was drenched in blood and her pouch of grenades almost empty; Shepard, Garrus and Kasumi's thermal clips were dwindling and Jack, after blasting people left and right, was showing signs of fatigue although she would have never admitted it. Already some pockets of soldiers were also bypassing an ever more tired Lena forcing Shepard to use his shotgun to clean up the stragglers.
"Miranda, how much time still?" asked Shepard after blasting another blue suns soldier. All around him the sound of gunfire almost drowned Miranda's voice
"Three minutes."
"Still?!" now Shepard's words were almost a cry
"Garrus, how many enemies to kill on your scanner?"
Garrus first killed another enemy with his sniper rifle and then he answered
"We downed fourteen enemies and a dozen are injured, but our thermal clips supplies are dwindling and I think that this Jedore girl finally decided to field the big guy." a taloned finger pointed at the unmistakable shape of a YMYR mech slowly lumbering on the battlefield, his rotary cannon ready to fire. Shepard immediately noticed who the machine was aiming at.
"Lena, get the hell out of here!" he shouted on the inter com. The metal machine was targeting her.
Lena was fighting with the speed and the rage of an avenging demon: these mercenaries, spurned by that woman called Jedore and her pet Krogans, were charging against their positions like mad men in a desperate attempt of overwhelming them with numbers, only to discover that trying to dislodge a Claymore from a defensive position armed only with rifles is a very bad idea. Lena had already used half her stockpile of grenades and her sword was drenched in blood, and still the attackers persisted! Lena would have commended their bravery if only for the fact that they were someone managing to tire a Claymore like her and nothing else.
"Bunch of idiots." commented Lena while slicing another soldier in two and avoided a point blank shot from another enemy "Can they not see that this position give me too much of an advantage?" At this point a small mound of half a dozen enemies was adorning her position all piled on each other was blocking her view like a grisly monument.
"Lena, get the hell out of here!" shouted Shepard on the intercom. Lena for a second stopped fighting; Shepard had literally shouted inside her helmet, stunning her for a moment.
"What is happening Shepard?" asked Lena unsure about the situation
"Mech YMYR inbound to your position Lena; get the hell out of here." was the curt answer, not needed at this point because the metal monstrosity was at this point next to her. Lena had never fought this kind of metal contraptions: she knew about the smaller versions of these machines, small golems with weapons grafted inside their metal fingers and the strange dog like golems, but the big one was unknown for her. T'Von had always said that the crowd hated seeing gladiators fight against metal cans so she never got the chance to fight against one of said monsters. Quite a problem for her right now.
Lena instinctively dashed away from the metal monster, trying to obey Shepard's order, only to have the mech's targeting system immediately firing at her with its rotary cannon. The weapon spewed its payload against Lena hitting her square in the chest, the bullets too fast even for her to avoid; for a second the armor, coupled with her kinetic batteries, endured the devastating punishment they received, only to collapse with a loud bang a moment later. Metal bullet penetrated Lena's defenses and shattered flesh and bones with contemptuous ease. The girl collapsed on the floor spouting blood from her mouth and bleeding from at least a dozens of wounds; her pouch of grenades was lying on the floor next to her and barely able to stand. Some of the remaining blue suns tried to take advantage of this but Garrus and Kasumi's precise firing prevented them for reaching her.
"Damned golem." cursed Lena while pumping her body with yoki energies and regenerating lost flesh with a squelching sound. The metal contraption refused to relent and prepared to fire another flurry of bullets, but this time a ball of pure biotic energy hit it square on the chest, destroying its shields and staggering the lumbering beast, disrupting its aim in the process. Lena immediately seized the advantage, grabbed her Claymore on both hands and threw the heavy weapon against the lumbering golem, not caring for the pain she felt because of her gaping wounds. The heavy blade moved without a sound against the target and embedded itself deeply inside the golem's chest making short work of its armor, showering Lena with a rain of sparks and hitting something important inside the mech's core. The mech staggered and started twitching, unable to aim properly anymore, and a second later a well aimed missile launched by Shepard destroyed its left leg, forcing the golem to fall down with a loud thump, his systems shutting down because of the damage sustained. This, coupled by the arrival of the Kodiack from the sky, managed to finally break the back of the blue suns attackers that escaped in a desperate retreat, escaping from the battle despite their boss still lashing at them with the butt of her missile launcher.
"About fucking time!" shouted Jack at the sky after seeing the Kodiack hammering the retreating mercenaries. Shepard and Garrus simply took pot shots at the enemies with their sniper rifles just to be sure, and in that moment Shepard noticed something through his gunsight: the enemy leader, Jedore, was not running away. Instead she was aiming at something with her grenade launcher; that something was the YMYR's head, just next a Lena now wobbly moving and trying to dislodge her sword from the mech's body, completely oblivious of the danger. There was no time for a warning and Shepard immediately fired a shot; the bullet flied against the target and hit Jedore right on the mercenary's brain, bypassing the armor and killing her on the spot, just a second too late.
"Lena!" shouted Shepard, in vain. The missile soared the sky in less than a second, giving Lena only the time to turn her head and notice the danger, and reached the mech's head triggering the self-destruct sequence of the golem immolating the girl in an inferno of flame and metal splinters and to make matters worst Lena's remaining grenades were caught in the blast and added even more destruction. Lena was thrown backward by the devastating explosion, her armor already damaged providing next to no protection against the devastating blow; Shepard, Kasumi and Jack immediately dashed toward Lena uncaring of the sudden heat and the ringing inside their ears all while Garrus kept a close watch of the surrounding place.
"Miranda, I need the Kodiack down here immediately." Shouted Shepard on the inter com. The place where once Lena stayed was now a scorched hole; smoke billowed from overheated metal and small splinters were strewn everywhere like teeth of a fallen creature; there was nothing of the mech and for a second Shepard dreaded the worst: the explosion of an YMYR mech can kill even a Krogan in full armor and Lena, despite being a mutated human, was not a Krogan.
"Shepard, I found her" it was Kasumi's voice, and was barely a whisper.
Lena was now in her arm, some meters away from the mech's remains, and she was literally in pieces: what was once a totally functional armor was now a burning pile of half-molten metal covering a quivering mess of burned flesh and blackened bone; her right arm had simply disappeared leaving only a stump near the shoulder; dozens of small metal shards were firmly embedded inside the girl's body like many little knives; her face was a nightmare to behold, with most of her skin charred and her left eye a burning hole where a grown man could have placed a finger without a problem. But what really left Shepard speechless was that Lena was somehow still alive: her left arm twitched and moved weakly and her remaining eye, even under a curtain of burned skin and dried blood, was still looking at them.
Shepard had to curb the sudden urge of vomiting: he was no rookie but this sight managed to unnerve even an old soldier like him. Thank God Miranda had already found a good spot to land and Mordin was already reaching their position.
"Mordin" said Shepard without preambles when the old Salarian reached them and noticed Lena's condition "Can she be saved?"
Mordin immediately knelt next to the Claymore and started analyzing the girl, a stream of data coming from his Omni-tool
"Multiples internal fractures, heavy blood loss, more than twenty intrusive objects inside her body and half her internal organs destroyed. Amazed she is still alive, her regeneration factor even stronger than Krogan's one. Will perform some basic field aid but I suggest bringing her back on the Normandy and plug her on a medical bed."
"Do it, and when back someone warn Kelly; I want her staying with Raina for a bit. Last thing we need is letting a child seeing her mother reduced to a pile of mangled flesh." ordered Shepard trying to maintain a professional facade "Garrus, Kasumi, back with the second squad. Jack with me and if that fucking idiot of a Krogan scientist decide to not help us after this you are authorized to blast him into oblivion." They all obeyed without a word and Mordin and Garrus started slowly dragging Lena's body to the shuttle.
"This is better be fucking worth it." murmured Shepard under his breath.
A furious Shepard stormed the laboratory hall still covered in dirt and blood, her friend and agent's blood, and went where he was sure to find Okeer; he wanted answers, he wanted to know everything that lizard knew about the Collectors, and was more than ready to stop being gentle. One of his agents was dying because of him and Shepard hated seeing his people dying! He hated years ago during the first contact war, he hated during Saren's hunt and still hated it now.
What he saw made him lose what was left of his patience
"Fucking damnit!" raged Shepard hitting a metal computer next to him, shattering in thousand of pieces.
Okeer was lying on the floor, next to his precious prototype. He was dead, suffocated when the vital support of the laboratory collapsed leaving the place without air. That old fool refused to let the clone die even when that meant losing his own life. Almost touching but right now Shepard was not in the right mood for this.
"A fucking waste of time!" said Jack expressing out loud Shepard's thought
"You are right Jack." admitted Shepard "But maybe we can salvage something." his gaze was now fixated on a data-pad near Okeer, a data-pad containing a message for Shepard.
Shepard quickly took the pad and opened, curious about it.
Inside he saw a message from Okeer
-Shepard I am sorry but I cannot help you. I never talked with the Collectors, only made business with them, but my experiment can help you. He was created thanks to Collector's technology and he is perfect. He is my life and possess much of my knowledge, he will surely help you battling- the message abruptly ended here.
Shepard pondered Okeer's offer: a pureblood Krogan could pack quite a punch during a battlefield, Shepard still remembered the mayhem that old Wrex always managed to create when deployed during Saren's hunt two years ago, and Shepard had to coldly accept the fact that Lena could well die within days, leaving his squad without a true heavy hitter. On the other hand old and experienced Krogans were usually unpredictable and difficult to contain, so only hell knew how rowdy and dangerous could be a teenager one.
In the end, Shepard made his decision and hoped to never regret it.
"Miranda, the mission is a failure. Okeer is dead and all the information about the Collectors died with him, but we can still salvage something. Send an empty shuttle, they have a package to retrieve." Shepard stopped speaking for a second, looking at the hulking Krogan sleeping inside the tank "A very big package."
Normandy's ship, crew's quarter. Ten minutes after the mission
-Ok Kelly, focus!- repeated Kelly for the tenth time inside her brain just before opening the door in front of her -You can do it!-
This was a lie and she knew it. The faculty of sociology does not teach you how to distract and cheer up a child whose mother is currently slowly dying inside the infirmary!
Kelly knew that the image of Lena torn to pieces and filled with tubes would have haunted her dreams for the rest of her life; she was not so naive to believe that this mission would have been without casualties, but seeing that spectacle coupled with Kasumi's almost crying face and receiving her new orders about Raina had been hard for her, very hard.
-Here goes nothing.-
Kelly placed her hand inside the center of the door, opening it with and revealing the interior of the place
"Raina, I am Kelly; may I come in?"
No one answered. The place was empty and devoid of life
"Raina?" asked Kelly confused. Still no answer but this time her ears managed to catch a certain sound coming from the small wardrobe. The sound of someone crying.
Nervous about all of this Kelly slowly reached the armoire and opened it without making a sound, taking a careful peek. Inside she found Raina, curled in a fetal position near all of Lena's scants uniforms and mementos, breathing quickly and violently; her eyes were bulging and she didn't even noticed the arrival of Kelly in a first moment.
"Raina, what is going on?" asked Kelly softly reaching the young girl and bringing her out of the closet. Raina looked at her and Kelly noticed the fear and desperation inside the child's eyes. Something was very wrong here
"Mum is dying, isn't she?" asked Raina with barely a whisper and for a second Kelly was left speechless. Who told her the truth?!
"N-no Raina! Who told you this lie?! She is only" tried to say Kelly but Raina shouted at her with pure desperation, now crying without qualms.
"I am feeling it!" Raina was now hyperventilating and twitching like a mad woman; Kelly had to physically block her before she ended up injuring herself.
"She is dying, her yoki is flickering like a candle near the winds. I...i" then she broke down in tears, burying her small face inside Kelly's small frame. Kelly embraced the small child in her arms, trying to comfort her with small words and hugging her tightly
"I do not want to remain alone." sobbed Raina desperate "Not again."
"Ssh" cooed Kelly with quiet voice "You will not remain alone little one, I promise you."
They both remained here on the spot for who know how much time, one silently crying, the other one consoling her as best as she could. In the end Raina surrendered to fatigue and went to sleep on Kelly's arms and the girl quickly took Raina in her arm and placed her on the bed.
-This is so messed up- thought Kelly while sitting near Raina and looking at her. Even while sleeping she was still moving and crying, asking for Lena, for her mother. It was heartbreaking.
-Let's hope that Karin can pull some kind of rabbit out of the hat and save Lena.-
At the same time in another part of the ship Shepard, now out of his armor and dressed with a simple uniform, was looking for the last time at the hulking Krogan inside the tank before opening it and trying to reason with him. He had just come back from that accursed planet only to discover that Lena's life was literally hanging on a thread. Karin's exact words after seeing Lena's condition had been "She literally stopped an exploding YMYR mech with her face Shepard, what am I supposed to do?" Truth to be told, she was right: the fact that Lena was still alive after such a hit was a bloody miracle and a true testament to Lena's amazing regenerative abilities.
This was the first casualty of the mission and the impact showed to be harder than everyone thought and this was not a surprise: no one like to see an operative that fought with you slowly dying inside a medical bay. The fact that Miranda, always cold and practical, told to Shepard that the Illusive man was quite interested in analyzing Lena's body in case she died did nothing to help the commander's morale. Thanks God he managed to contain himself because and simply told her that this was not the right time; last thing he needed was hitting his own CO in the face.
"Are you sure about this commander?" inquired EDI's voice blocking his train of thoughts "This Krogan might react violently when awakening. Entrusting it to Cerberus would be the most logical course of action."
"I am, EDI." Answered Shepard "Awaken him."
"Performing the action." the tank in front of Shepard flared into life and slowly activated itself. Amniotic fluid was siphoned out from the now opening tank, letting the hulking creature meet the floor with an audible thud. Shepard quietly charged his only weapon, a pistol, with some stun bullets just in case.
"Krogan fully awaken. The consequences of this actions are now yours." said EDI flatly.
The beast opened its eyes for the first time in its life, a pair of bright blue eyes, and looked at who had just awakened him. An animalistic roar escaped from its maws and the beast suddenly charged a surprised Shepard, tackling and slamming him on the nearest wall. Shepard flinched and quietly moaned but refused to move: the Krogan had no desire to kill him, otherwise he would already been dead.
The Krogan looked at him and sniffled Shepard's face, as if searching for something, and Shepard use this distraction to quietly grab his pistol
"Human, male. Before I kill you, I need a name." said the Krogan with a deep, strangely mature voice.
"I am commander Shepard and I am not one easily scared." Replied Shepard sternly. The Krogan shook his head annoyed "No! Not you! Me. Okeer talked to me while I was inside the tank. He told me about the universe and how to fight it, but refused to give me a name." For a second the Krogan looked thoughtful
"War, battles, soldiers, grunts….it make no sense. Yes, Grunt will do."
Now Grunt's eyes were once again posed on Shepard's ones
"I am Grunt, and if you truly are a worthy commander then show me your strength."
"Why not a name like Okeer?" asked Shepard distracting him
"Because this name is short and adaptable. I feel nothing for Okeer and his clan, I just want to sate my thirst for battle. I will fight, but not for him; in this Okeer's imprinting failed."
"Then follow me. I have a great ship and a powerful crew. Your addiction will make it even stronger."
Grunt pondered the idea for a second
"If your enemies will prove to be too weak I will have to kill you."
"My enemies are the Collectors: no one knows them and all the others who tried to fight against them are been destroyed, besides." Shepard acted immediately and shot the Krogan in the gut, stunning and forcing him to let Shepard loose. Grunt collapsed on the floor, dazzled and confused, only to see the barrel of a pistol pointing at his face
"I had a very tiring day today, and I am not in the mood for diplomacy so I will give you a simple choice: follow me in battle against the most dangerous creatures on the galaxy or die here like a vermin."
Grunt looked at him with a mixture of shock, surprise and awe. In the end he did the last thing Shepard could have ever imagined: he laughed.
"Ah ah Shepard. You truly are a worthy commander Shepard. If one day I shall find a Clan worthy of me I will be honored to call you my enemy."
"I appreciate the compliment Grunt. Welcome to the crew; I will warn Jacob and find something of your size. Where do you want to stay?"
"Here in this room will be fine battle master. I will be ready to fight whenever you want."
"Very well."
And so the conversation between Grunt and Shepard ended, with some unexpected fitness and an almost dislocated shoulder. At least now he had a Krogan on his side.
-Gotta ask Jacob about finding some weapons big enough for one like Grunt, and telling Kelly about our new recruit. No wait Kelly will be busy for a while with Raina.- Shepard's brain was tired, too tired for his own good
-Fuck, let's just go to sleep now, I need to clear my mind. Let's hope next day will bring some good news-
So here finish Korlus's part. As I said quite a difficult chapter to write at least for me, and I hope it was worth it. Now if someone is unsure about Lena's predicament let me say something about it
1) Lena is not an immortal Mary Sue and i hope i am not making her look like that: she can kill people with her bare hands, regenerate lost limbs, arm wrestle a Krogan without problem and thanks to Omega's two years in the arenas she is quite good at fighting, but she is not invincible. She is rash, she barely use ranged weapons (for now) and usually underestimate the danger, so she can be defeated. And if you are wondering for the opposite reason (how is she still alive) i can tell you that in the manga i saw defensive warriors like Lena regenerate their BRAIN by themselves (looking at you Deneve)
2) in the game the YMYR mech is supposed to be a massive machine armed to the teeth and packed to the brim with explosive ordinances so it has to be lethal, even against a defensive Claymore like Lena (especially if already wounded) and the explosion has to be devastating and life-threatening, and yet in many walktroughts I saw people take a blast to the face (after destroying the head) and survive. Very low health but still survive.
About Raina and Kelly I hope I managed to make the scene acceptable, I am not exactly an expert when it comes to writing cheesy and sad stuff. I am still learning as I said.
Until next time and hope this is satisfactory.
Cheers
