The barrage of red and green lessened slightly as seven people, all dressed in black with a cape of either green, bronze, silver, or in the case of the one in the middle leading them, gold. The leader was a tall woman with shockingly red hair streaked with blond. To her sides were the two wearing silver, to their sides the one wearing bronze. The ones wearing green brought up the rear, and here was found the only other woman among them. Steven and Donald seemed to have yet come up with a permanent roster for his so-called Omega Team. They were really supposed to be a mirror of Alpha Team, with each one of them being an opposite of another member. He supposed that was why the leader held a single katana and the ones next to her used a sword with a knife and a butterfly sword.
"Why, hello." He said, giving them a gentle wave with his right hand, sword and all.
"Mister Bruce, I have come to kill you," said the leader.
"When will people learn its Commander?" Nate opened his left arm implant, letting the chaingun's barrels come around the implant as all eight of them got into place. He then opened fire towards them, hitting a green cape as the rest scattered. The green cape staggered back, clutched his stomach, and then fell backwards. Nate remarked at the sloppiness of the shot inwardly as his swords met the leader's katana and a bronze's buckler. James's katana and jitte met the scythe and the short sword of a bronze with a jetpack. Barb's scythe met the butterfly sword and the knife. They all flipped back towards the others and formed a triangle with all their points covered.
"Any ideas?" James asked.
"Yeah, jump." Nate hit the ground with his fist as James and Barb jumped up, the shockwave from it knocked the others down, and James landed on jetpack and Barb landed on buckler, killing them both instantly. Nate took the time to throw his sword into butterfly's shoulder, pinning him. He then opened his right arm implant and extended the blade that he hid in it. Scythe then had quite a surprise as a hidden rocket motor in the connection joint fired, sending it right into her belly. She looked down, and then fainted backwards, letting the blade come out enough to slide out on to her face on the blunt end, but it killed her all the same. The other two tried to run, but quick de-leggings by James and Barb sealed their fate as they lost blood at an amazing rate. The only one guaranteed to live was butterfly, and he refused to faint, so they couldn't do anything for him to ease the pain. As they made their way towards the corridor they came though, Nate spotted a computer port and jacked one of his right arm's connection wires into it. Not having time to search it himself, he sent in his infiltration AI and had it route to his wireless com port. Jacking out, he helped Barb and James cut down the last of the guards either too stupid or too scared of Steven to run. They then followed the AI's instructions to the door, which held the Farris', and Asu. As they stepped into the darkened room he had just enough time to remark inwardly how things are never as simple as they seem.
