Chapter Six:

Entering the elevator once more, I gave myself to take a large inhale of relief. Brushing away sweat from my brow, the bits of caked up blood off my hands. No mine obviously. I reload my pistol and hit the floor selection panel.

Ring Ring Ring

Incoming Call-

Kiwi: Finally. I was starting to the worry, but the jammer down, meaning the Runner been dealt with?

Ryan: She surrender and put me in position when I had to spare here in order to finish the job. I know rookie mistake,

Maine: You did you thought appropriate for the situation, as long as we are no longer impeded, we should all be Nova.

Ryan: Alright I'm reaching the top floor, cutting my cords.

Maine: I'll be there shortly.

Called Ended-

As the elevator ceased this time on the correct floor, I sprinted out and headed for what was the penthouse, it was obviously the target was flush with money having hired all these people. Plus it didn't help that a large over weight guy who look like he could be a sumo wrestler stood outside of the front door.

"This is as far as you go Merc!" He said in a menacing tone. Before I could react he was sprinting at me with a open set of Mantis Blades. I nearly evaded the flurry of slashes.

"Your pretty nimble for a big guy," I laugh out in a cough firing my pistol at him.

The large Merc was on me again bringing down his blades trying to rip me into ribbons to tear me in twain, I was playing into his plan as we force me to evade into a smaller space.

Quickly he feigns left and I fly towards the right.

That wasn't his intention when he pulled out the blade, it was to pin me and force me in to a dead end.

However, his movements are becoming sluggish, as I dodge his blade and drop down, shooting his arm.

I get a good solid hit to his forearm that tears into muscle, causing it to recoil and his arm to be unable to hold the swing one of the Mantis Blades

He growls, and moves in my direction, quickly I prepare for his next attack.

Like a snake slithering, I strike swiftly with serval more rounds, I wasn't going to miss from this spot.

The bullet slices right through his wrist and into the forearm of his other hand, like that, the arm is no more and collapses down, I feel the sickening sound of a bone breaking as he tries to pull the blades from his body with no success. They were only weighting him down. But I took the opportunity to shoot in point blank his head as it pops like a balloon.

I step away, stumbling as a sharp pain aches across my chest. There is blood seaping out of ripped fabric. Fucker managed to slice me good. But I limp back towards the penthouse entrance.

"Shit it pretty deep, you gonna be alright, maybe we should wait for Maine." Mottly expresses very concerned.

I grit my teeth,"No I need to see this through." I declare kicking in the front door. The person standing by the large window in the foyer, made my jaw drop.

Drake Mastiff!

Drake stood at his window and looked out at the city.

He took in a heavy breath than sighed.

"End of the line Ryan, you and Maine should of never came after me."

"You left me for dead and cheated Maine on the deal, and you thought there wouldn't be no consequences?" I spat out.

"No he knew, that's why he hired all these poor Gonks to do his bidding to protect him!" Mottly said aloud.

"You have the chance to turn and leave, and I will forget this happened. You'll soon learn I'm not such a generous man."

"Or what?" I boldly question him.

Drake remain quiet but simply whistles and two people nearly the same height as Rebecca leap from the upper level of the foyer. They were twins a boy and a girl.

"Shoot him, Margy!"

"Aye-Aye Matt!" The twins leap down the girl had a semi automatic and the boy held a Katana twice his size." They were highly augmented and decked out with all type of Cybernetics. The girl fired rounds mostly point blank. I just nearly evaded her when the brother slices me across my thighs.

"This is gonna be so fun!" Margy beams.

"If he's smart, he'll run." Matt laughs maniacally.

"I do so love when they run." Margy states firing her large gun sporadically around me.

"Children what have I told you about toying around. Finish this already." Drake shouts at them.

"Yes dad!" The both reply.

"Get serious, Margy, " Matt commands her.

"I know..." She sighs loudly.

I stand tall and return fire. The girl manages to hit my arm and I shudder in pain. The boy jumps forward and kicks me in the chest, causing me to collapse to the ground. I roll out the way and sprint for the sister. She was the problem with her large gun.

"Get away from her!" Matt screams as he intercepts me tripping me to the ground. "Your ass is mine!" The boy says.

Matt raises his Katana to my head. Then...

Bang Bang!

The smell of gunsmoke hovers over my head as suddenly Matt sinks to the floor a massive hole forms where his stomach once was. I see Maine beside me.

"Matt!" The girl cries out. She furiously lift up her semi and gets ready to gun us down, when her head erupts into smoke and flames.

"That's enough!" Kiwi voice echo's out as she steps out from behind Maine.

"You two are life savers." I say grunting walking up to Drake as I watch him panic and squirm away, I lift up my pistol and bash it over his head knocking him out.

Before I could face them I too collapse to floor. "Shit!" I cried out notice how fatigued I was growing, it dawn on me, it was due from the loss of blood. The world quickly grows quiet.
