Love Struck Delusion
Chapter 61 – When War Didn't Exist.
Raptor's POV, Northeast Slums.
We had caught up. Archer managed to get right on his tail. My Humvee no more then a few feet away as we made a sharp right into the slums.
"Ram him off the road!" I ordered Archer as he quickly yelled back.
"I'm not going too ruin my car! He's bound to pull over soon! Just wait!"
Growling in anger, I continued to watch and wait as we continued are close chase through the broken down neighborhood.
Archer's POV.
Keeping foot to foot with this man, I soon panicked as he made a crazy left into a nearby alley.
Caught completely off guard as he went through just in time, I was forced to stop the car.
"This has to be the place! I'm going to pull us around and then we can...?"
Hearing the door slam shut, I instantly looked to my right to see Raptor running his way into the alley.
"Raptor! Wait!" I ordered him as I know feared for his safety.
In a full sprint, I watched as he turned into the alley and out of my sight.
"Fuck!" I shouted as I got out and went to my trunk.
Popping the back, I grabbed my old M416 and a few clips to run after the Commander. By the time I got the hood shut however I already heard shooting.
"Raptor!" I shouted as I now ran into the alley.
Raptor's POV.
Feeling the air rush across my face as I ran at my highest speed, I watched as the man ran into a nearby three story house.
As I grew close behind, a window on the second floor broke open and a man with a Car-4 began to fire down at me.
Quickly getting under his view, I ran through the door and into the house.
Looking around as I entered, I quickly ran for the stairs. Nearing the top, I widened my eyes as a G.U.N soldier turned out from a nearby bedroom with a Spas 12 shotgun.
"BOOSH!" Feeling as the round went just above my head, I ran head first into the soldier taking him back first into the room.
With no one else but him in here, I reached for his hands that still held the gun.
"You mother...!BASH!" Slamming my head down into his skull, I ripped the gun out of his hands to bring the butt down into his nose.
"BASH!"
Slamming the back of his head into the wood, I turned the shotgun back and aimed at his throat.
"BOOSH!"
Blood splashed my face as the buckshot nearly tore his head off from his shoulder.
Quickly getting up, I took the dead man's M9 from his hip and ran back out of the room. For some reason I was nothing but mad. I didn't want to stop. It felt too good.
Running into the main room of the house, I stopped to see three men stepping up around the area.
In speed, I ducked behind an old long couch in the center of the room to shout.
"Your all dead! You hear me!?"
"Fuck you Rebellion!"
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Putting rounds into the couch, I instantly moved to the edge to peek out at a nearby shooter.
"BOOSH!"
Clipping his right leg, I watched as I blew his ankle clean off.
"AGHHHH!"
Losing his right foot, I watched as he fell to the ground screaming.
"How's that feel asshole!?" I asked as I peeked back around the corner to aim at him again.
"AGHHHHHHHHHH!" Letting out nothing but a scream of agony, I pulled the trigger.
"BOOSH!"
The buckshot blew into the side of his shoulder and his head. I watched as the skin broke instantly and the muscles under his cheek could be seen clear as day.
With blood spilling the ground, I tried to get up and aim at the second shooter. But as I exposed myself I soon realized they still had the better angle.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Ducking back down behind the couch, I quickly slide to the middle section.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Continuing to empty his clip, I felt my ear twitch as I heard him run dry.
"Fuck!" He shouted as I immediately stood up to aim at the wall he was hiding behind.
"BOOSH!"
Sending the buckshot through the old drywall, I smiled as he quickly fell forward.
"Aghhhh!" Taking aim for his body that was now exposed, I let go of another round.
"BOOSH!"
On to my opportunity, the soldier used what speed he had to hide back behind the drywall.
"It won't help you!" I stated in pure adrenaline as I pulled the trigger once more.
"Click!"
Widening my eyes, the third shooter heard I had ran out of ammo to turn out from behind his corner to open fire.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Running for a nearby kitchen to my left, I hid behind the fridge to feel as the rounds now sailed by my shirt.
Grabbing the M9 I picked up from before, I peeked out at the third shooter who I could now see clearly.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Hitting him in the chest and once in his trigger arm, I watched as the gun was quickly dropped to the ground.
Taking my chance, I ran head first from out behind the fridge and towards him as he scrambled to pick it back up.
With his hands hitting the gun's grip as I was now in front of him basically. I used my leg to kick his wrist.
With the gun rolling off a few feet, I followed up with a strong right hook hitting the soldier in the right side of his mouth.
Falling to his belly from the power, I aimed my M9 at his back.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Twitching as I placed four direct rounds into his back, I shouted.
"Fucking die!"
Hearing shooters downstairs, I quickly looked back the way I came to see the second shooter limping his way for escape.
"BANG"
Hitting him in the leg, I watched as he fell to the wall with a scream.
"AGHHH! Stop!"
Running for his defenseless body, I slammed my knee directly into his mouth.
Hearing his teeth shatter on impact, I then sent the empty M9 into the side of his skull.
Falling to the side from the blow, I used all my strength to keep hitting him in the head.
Not even after the third hit was his skull cracked open and my gun and hand was covered in his brains.
With each hit I watched as he twitched like his friend did. Something made me feel even better as I watched him slowly die in pain.
"AHHHH!" I screamed as I got back on my feet.
Letting out a heavy breath I decided to ignore the first floor for now and head up to the third. My gun was still not here. That fucker had to be up here.
Running up the stairs, I soon found the kid opening a window.
"HEY!" I shouted as he turned to widen his eyes.
"Where you think your going!? I haven't had my fun with you yet!"
"Fuck you! Get away you monster!"
"Oh you saw what I did to your friends!? Trust me it will be worse for you!"
Making my way into the main room now with a sprint, I widened my eyes as the kid turned to aim at me with Shadow's M1911.
"BANG!"
Caught off guard, I took the round in my right shoulder and ducked back behind an old coffee table. As I didn't feel the pain for some reason, I shouted.
"Oh your fucked now!"
Getting up with all my rage at it's boiling point, I ran head first for the kid as he got out the window.
Archer's POV.
I was pinned down behind an old burned out car by I think four shooters from the first floor. As I sat there with no where to go I looked to the second floor to see shots going off from one of the windows.
"God damn it Raptor!" I shouted as I got back behind cover.
Unable to help my friend, I widened my eyes as a Humvee turned through the alley in speed.
Pulling in front of me, I watched as Char and his men got out to return fire.
"Thank god!" I shouted as Char quickly ran to my cover to ask.
"You hit Major!? Sorry we're late!"
"I'm fine!" I stated as he asked out of confusion.
"Where's the Commander!?"
"He's inside! He ran after one of these fucks without me! I think he's on the second floor!"
Nodding Char replied.
"We need to deal with these guys first!"
Agreeing with him I replied.
"Then let's do it! We need to help Raptor!"
Getting up from behind my cover, I took aim at one of the shooters who was hiding behind a broken window.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Watching as I hit the man in his head, I ordered.
"Toss a frag!"
With no delay, one of Char's men pulled a pin and tossed it at the house where town more soldiers could be seen hiding.
"BOOM!"
Destroying the wall and forcing the men away, I ordered.
"Hit them now!"
Char obeyed without a problem and I pushed with him as the last shooter came out from hiding behind the door leading inside.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Char was unaware and I watched as he was hit in the chest by the rounds.
Aiming as fast as I could I emptied my clip, dropping the soldier with nearly a hole in each part of his body.
Looking back to the broken wall, Char's men finished off the remaining two men who were injured by the grenade. Now feeling a bit more safe I got down to look at Char.
"You okay!?" I asked as he nodded with some blood leaving his mouth.
"Vest ate most of it! I'll be fine Major!"
Taking my hand, Char got back on his feet.
With the ground floor clear, I ordered.
"Move inside! Watch your corners! There could still be more! And don't mistake the Commander for one of them!"
Taking my spot behind two of Char's brother wolves, we made our way up the stairs to look around.
"We got bodies!" Stated the point-man, as I looked at the chaos around me.
To a small room to my left as I got up the stairs, we found a man with his head nearly blow off. Not even a few feet away was another with his head smashed in from a nearby M9.
"Holy shit." Muttered Char as I entered the main room to see two more bodies. It looked like a fucking massacre. What was Raptor doing? I asked myself as I looked back to order.
"Keep going up! He's not here!"
Following my order, the men followed Char up the stairs. Close behind them, we got up to see Raptor making his way out the window in speed.
"Commander!" Shouted Char as I quickly ordered.
"Go back downstairs and seal off the area! I got him!"
Pushing my way by, I ran for the window.
Raptor's POV.
On the edge of the building, I chased the last man standing around to a nearby fire escape.
"Stop!" I ordered him as he aimed at me once more with m own gun.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
With the rounds hitting the ground around me, I got up onto the ladder and continued to follow after the now fleeing human.
As I reached the roof, I widened my eyes to see the kid taking aim once more at me.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Quickly sliding down a few pegs, I waited a few seconds then climbed up to see the kid making a move for a nearby building.
"You can't out run me!" I stated in rage as I ran head first off the edge of the building.
Under me now, the kid widened his eyes and looked up as I came landing down on top of him.
"AGHH!" He screamed as I grabbed him by the neck coming down.
Slamming onto a wooden roof, it was no surprise when we went straight through to the floor below.
Archer's POV.
Trying to keep up, I widened my eyes as Raptor jumped off the roof the second I got up the ladder.
Running to the edge I watched as he landed directly on the man he was chasing. I felt my heart skip a beat as they went through the roof.
"Raptor!" I shouted as I looked for a way across. There was no way I would survive that jump.
Raptor's POV.
Feeling board after board hit me as we went through, I quickly tucked and rolled.
"Bash!"
Hitting my back into a nearby wall, I struggled to get up. I felt blood rolling down my back. My stitches must have broke open.
Letting out a long growl, I soon heard.
"It's over."
Looking up the kid had gotten up and approached me. My own gun was pointed at me as he stated.
"Your done! I'm going to kill you, you fucking monster!"
With blood dripping down his mouth, I replied.
"You can't kill me."
"Watch me!" He ordered as I asked.
"You wana know why?"
Pulling the trigger, I watched as his eyes widened.
"Click!"
"Cause your out of ammo."
I swear I saw it in his eyes. His heart sunk.
Feeling nothing but pure rage in my heart, I charged up to my feet and tackled the kid head first into his stomach. Dropping my gun, I continued to run him off his feet and into a nearby wall.
"BASH!"
Plowing him straight through the drywall, I soon found we were in an old bathroom.
Letting out a gag as he was now under me, I said with a hint of joy.
"Your going to pay. I hope your ready."
Crawling away a few feet towards the toilet, I smiled and approached him from behind. In all my power I pulled him up halfway by his back and slammed his jaw straight into the edge of the ceramic toilet bowl. Blood splashed the dirty white color as I saw the kid's teeth leave his mouth as well.
Gagging up blood as I pulled him back up to his feet, I quickly dragged him over to the sink to place his head in.
Closing the drain, I turned on the water and forced him down.
Gagging on rusted liquid, I soon felt him try and kick his way free. But with my strength far beyond his I kept him there as the water soon turned red around his cheeks.
Feeling his body going slower, I pulled him out and pushed him into the tub.
Slamming his head into the wall, I got on top of him.
Unable to speak, I brought my fist down into his face.
"BASH! BASH! BASH!"
I couldn't stop. It felt so good.
"BASH! BASH! BASH! BASH! BASH! BASH!"
Blood splashed the old wall and the tub itself began to fill slightly as I kept going.
"BASH! BASH! BASH!"
"Raptor!" I heard from my side.
Archer must have caught up. Fuck him.
Grabbing the already dead kid, I pulled his body out of the tub to broken wall.
Slamming his neck into the broken wood, I raised my leg and sent it down on the top of his skull.
"BASH!"
The wood went straight though his neck as his head was another story on it's own. Blood spilled and drenched the floor as I kicked straight into his brain. I saw little pieces of his skull run off onto the ground as I raised my leg out to kick again.
Archer watched from the door as I was clearly lost in my rage.
"I told you I would kill you! I told you to stop! Now look at what you made me do you fuck!"
With my boot ripping through his head, I soon reached the other side of his face. With one more solid kick I blew out his forehead and eyes from the back.
Archer twitched from the sight as Char came up behind him to stop in his tracks.
"Commander!" He shouted as I stopped my rampage to breathe.
With my own blood rolling down my shoulder and back, I made my way over the dead body and to my gun that rested on the ground.
Feeling its warmth, I said to myself.
"I'm not losing you. Not after this."
Keeping it in my hand, I approached Archer and Char to order.
"Secure the area. Clean out the dead then report back to the Capital."
"Yes sir." Replied Char as I looked at Archer who appeared to be frightened by me.
"Thank you." I said to him as I turned away to leave.
With Char following behind, I soon got downstairs and back into the nearby alley. Getting alongside me he stated.
"You're hit Commander. Let my medic see that for you."
Nodding, I replied.
"Okay. Make it quick."
Making my way to my Humvee that was parked next to Char's, I opened up the back door and grabbed my belt to put my gun away. Bringing it to my side, Char's medic soon reached me to urge.
"Let's get that shirt off Commander."
Archer's POV.
I was in loss for words.
"What was that I just saw?" I asked myself as I looked at the dead G.U.N soldier below my feet.
Raptor was ruthless. He murdered this kid because he took his gun. It's not like he was to know. It was reaction I bet. He didn't really want it. But Raptor...he...he didn't care about any of that. He just went off the deep end and...? Unable to think I stopped and let out a breath.
That wasn't normal. That's not the Raptor I know. He wouldn't through himself head first into danger like that. He knew we had these men trapped. He knew we were going to get his gun back. He didn't have to do what he did. But he still did it. Something isn't right. That's not him. It's not. I refuse to believe that was my friend just now.
Heading down the stairs, I walked outside to see him sitting in his Humvee being treated by a medic.
Char didn't see what I saw. And I'm glad he didn't.
"You'll be fine Commander. The round went through clean." Stated the medic as I approached from behind to look at him. Blood oozed out of his shoulder but he didn't seem to care. Did he even feel it? I wondered as he looked up at me.
Gulping, I got the guts to ask.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you just run off like that?"
Raptor remained silent as I went on to say.
"That was reckless and you could have gotten killed. We had these men trapped. They had no where to go."
"He had my gun." Stated Raptor with a dark tone as I tried to keep calm. I was actually afraid of him right now.
"We would have gotten it back regardless." I stated as he gently ordered the medic to stop what he was doing with his hand.
I widened my eyes as he then stood up to face me. Getting in my face he replied.
"That's not the point. I wanted them to know who they were fighting. I wanted them to see their mistake of not fleeing in the first place. I wanted them to fear us."
"Fear us? Or you?" I wondered as he tilted his head sideways to wonder.
"What's it matter to you? Your not my enemy."
I went silent as he was clearly lost to me right now. This wasn't the Commander I knew.
"G.U.N is our enemy. They would have done the same to us if they had gotten the chance. For years they beat us down and took our rights away one by one. I will not stand by any longer and let that happen. Anyone who proves to be an enemy to my Rebellion. To my home. To my people. To my family! Will not be shown forgiveness. And that goes for you too."
"I'm not your enemy Raptor. I'm your friend for fucks sake."
"Then don't get in my way. You do what you do best and help me fight. You don't question me. You don't try and stop me. For if you do, I will not hesitate to end you."
"Raptor? Are you insane?" I asked in disbelief as he stared at me directly to reply.
"No...I'm fine. No get out of my fucking face and get back to base. That's an order."
Unable to move because I was so frightened by him, I immediately panicked as he pulled out his M1911 to aim at me.
Backing up from him, Char shouted.
"Calm down! We're on the same side! Archer! Go!"
"Your not Raptor." I stated as he kept a straight face pointed at me.
Backing up for my car, I shouted.
"Your not him!"
Getting in my car and pulling back onto the road, I made my way back to the Capital.
Char's POV.
Lowering the gun, the Commander retook his seat in the Humvee to say.
"Go back to your duties."
Slowly my medic began to retreat him. I was honestly put in my place right there. I didn't know Raptor to be this way. Something had to be wrong.
With his eyes closed as he began to receive more stitches, I ordered the rest of my men.
"You heard him. Clean up the dead and let's head back to the Capital for the night. Good job everyone."
Raptor looked to me as I nodded to him.
Nodding back, he went back to being in his own world. To be honest, I was scared to find out what that was exactly.
Anybody know what just went down there with Raptor? The same thing happened to Shadow back in Love Struck. I wonder if anyone remembers. Let me know what you think as always.
