**** Gore Alert **** skip to next chap to avoid.
Tamsin knew that looking at the sheer number of hostiles they had already encountered and taken down via Tranq darts and silenced Glocks alone, this was no ordinary drug smuggling and distribution operation. It was something much bigger. Almost every hostile they encountered was a shape shifter and not a human. The only humans were outside. They were all Dark Fae but looked like they did not fall under the Dark councils or at least did not follow rules to stay clear of all human regions. As she was firing rounds on a fast moving shape shifter, she noticed it someone she knew. One of the Dark Fae Elders. Quickly she aimed for his legs, but missed on the first 2 rounds. She cursed herself as she would have been on target if she were a Valkyrie. Try and try again was her answer and hit both of his legs in the following 2 rounds. The second hit low in the calf and blew it clean off. 'Still Awesome' Tamsin comforted herself. She oddly at that moment felt something wrong around her. She dropped her AR-15, rolled and hit the deck with her Glock pointed to the sky. 2 shape shifter were pouncing down from the ceiling rafters. As they were descending onto her and the center of her team, she pulled the trigger quickly shifting from one target to another who were still in mid flight. Rounds were being rapidly spent from her 20 round magazine that she almost emptied it. She rolled to the right as 2 very dead bodies fell onto the ground, one of which was on her former position less than a second earlier. Several of her team looked at her amazed at Tamsin's reflexes. They quickly resumed fire.
"Wow, Los Lobos is resorting to throwing dead bodies at us." Tamsin sarcastically stated with her whit. At that moment a dismembered hand of one them caught up and fell in front of her. "Well *somebody* give that guy a hand." She said amused at her own joke even though no one was listening.
A heart beat later Tamsin looked below as a shape shifter 'accidentally' ran into her field of fire. With deadly accuracy she fired a single round from her Glock which hit his arm and spun him around to face her. The shifter was mad and made a roar and showed his teeth. Tamsin showed no signs of panic as she pulled her trigger again hitting him in his other arm in the middle of his charge. With intense concentration, then she hit him in the right knee then the left. The shifter fell forward face down and writhing in agony. She then paused and waited for the shifter in excruciating pain to look at her. When their eyes locked, he simple gnashed his teeth at her. She fired her final round which hit him squarely in the head to killing him. Even though she was not a Valkyrie any more, she made sure she was the omega for all those that stood against her. Someone both human and Fae should fear. The slide finally locked back signaling that she had just emptied her magazine in her Glock.
"A bullet is a terrible thing to waste." Tamsin said scrunching her face towards the 2 bodies that tried to pounce on them to her right but it was more to herself than anything else. She composed herself as she pick up her AR. "Time for more MKDs (Murder, killing and death)" She smiled evilly.
Did she know the exact amount of bullets in her Glock needed to pull off this stunt even through all this excitement? Yes. She was a killing machine. She was 'one' with all the weapons she used. If necessary, she *was* the weapon. Valkyrie or not, when you train that hard over all your life times, some things just never leave you.
The shifters were more concerned with team Alpha since they were more at a disadvantageous position. That did not mean however that Bravo team, her team, was in the clear either. These shifters kept coming. They even tried to take out team Delta, snipers 2 buildings away. Luckily she had for foresight to have Heavy D. get their back. And why was a Dark Fae elder here? She would have to ask him that as he was not going anywhere soon. This fire fight showed no signs of letting up assessing the situation. Had this team tried to take Los Lobos down without her, this whole team would have been dead once they entered the building. Hearing that Kendra's team was running out of ammo, she made some quick decisions. To help them fall back to a more favorable position, which was out in the open where they can see the shifters coming as opposed to close quarters, she ordered team Charlie to breech the main warehouse doors to allow all teams to egress. Her team, would just have to take up the rear. This was not a gun fight, it seems to be one sided as the shifters did not use gun while in their wolf forms. Luckily for the SWAT team they were packing the correct heat.
All teams needed a little more time though to egresses safely. She knew what she had to do. She had to go full Valkyrie on them in hand to hand combat as a distraction and it scared her. She felt fear for the first time in a millennia. She gave her final orders to turn the team over to Hump Day. She killed couple more Fae with her AR and then attached her bayonet. She took deep breaths to calm her nerves on what she had to do. Then her left hand reached for her small blue pendant on her neck which was her connection to allow her to pass into Valhalla via the portals. It no longer worked in her current status, but it was all she had left from her former life. Looking to the ceiling, she closed her eyes and uttered a small prayer "Conserva me ab inferno" (Latin: Save me from hell). Valkyrie's don't pray ever, they never needed to. When they die they just get reincarnated. The gods took care of them that was their covenant. Loyal service in exchange for immortality. Now she was requesting her same gods who casted her out to watch, guide and possibly save her wrenched life. She did at least feel better as her nerves steadied.
She reloaded her Glock and AR and jumped down from the mezzanine with a roll to break her fall, to the main level between Alpha and Bravo. It did have the desired effect of almost every single shifter now paying attention to her. She then yelled at them "Tamsin! 4th order Valkyrie! You *WILL* feel my wrath. Fear and agony shall be your only companions before I dispatch you to your maker."
For a moment all activity ceased in the warehouse. Even the shooting from all the teams kind of died down too. There was a mighty roar from all the Fae Shape Shifters as they all turned to attacked Tamsin. They were probably pissed that a bunch of humans were kicking their ass and now they had at least another Fae to blame and make pay.
Tamsin did not flinch as she repeated "Conserva me ab inferno" again with force as she ripped off AR-15 Beowulf rounds either dropping shape shifters or severely mauling them using other containers to cover her back. One made it over a container only get her bayonet as she impaled him and tossed him aside. Upon landing she stabbed him through the heart. 3 more appear down range which she disposed of with 4 more rounds from her AR. She noted that although she had fast reflexes, she was no longer as accurate or as fast compared to being a Valkyrie. She pushed her body harder to make up the difference and began to adapt on the fly. 3 more appeared toward her rear and she sliced one of the lead ones with her bayonet as she turned. '2 AR rounds, 3… now 4 targets.' She quickly calculated. She tossed her AR high into the air directly above her as she kneeled down pulling out 2 Glocks as she unloaded several bullets into the lead 3 shape shifters that were about to overrun her. All dead before all the spent shells even hit the ground. She then in rapid fashion holstered both Glocks in a sharp very practiced motion and held out her hands as if to aim a nonexistent rifle at the 4th shape shifter and now one more appeared behind it. Her face held a steely determination as she took aim. She believed in her training and a split second later her AR-15 landed in her outstretched hands where it was supposed to. Bang! Bang! Screech Thud! Screech Thud!
She got up and covered behind another set of boxes. She quickly ejected her magazine and put in a fresh one. She moved to glance around the cover when she was then hit from the back as a shape shifter slammed into her. She was aggressively thrown against a crate and she lost grip of her AR. Pain was all she felt. Valkyries had a secret though. They can choose to ignore it, which Tamsin did. You didn't need to be a Valkyrie to do that, it just required practice which she had lots of. She turned and instantly drew on of her sword and sliced as she turned around to where she thought that standing shape shifter should be by now and she was right as a decapitated body limped toward her with it arms outstretched to killer her. The head was rolling away down a row of boxes. She sheathed her sword and picked up her AR as 4 more shape shifters were bounding on all fours toward her closing fast. She needed her Glocks due to the soon to be close range encounter. Tamsin quickly tossed her AR into the arms of the decapitated and still stumbling headless shape shifter near her and said "hold this". She drew both of her Glocks again in a crisp motion and unloaded like no tomorrow. Sure she missed some shots when they were further out, but she still killed all of them as they fell forward dead within inches of her feet. It was silent briefly as two more dropped in from the rafters to kill her. While they were midair she grabbed her AR back from the lifeless shape shifter and right as the 2 landed to engage Tamsin, she performed a repelling front kick to the headless shape shifter and he flew into the 2 that just landed in effect 'stacking them' against each other. All of them fell to the ground.
"Thanks, I knew you had a good head on your shoulders… emm maybe not.." Tamsin said dryly. 2 more Beowulf rounds discharged from her rifle, 2 more fatalities.
"Is that the best you've got! Fucking bring it! Damn even Dyson can do better than this blind folded." Tamsin yelled. She slug her AR over her back as she climbed a ladder top of a set of boxes.
She knew the next wave was coming. She reached the top as she surveyed the area and turned on her radio. "All teams, Sitrep (Situation Report)!" Tamsin demanded. She pulled out each of her Glocks and reloaded them even though they were not fully empty. She knew they probably would not get a chance to reload again.
"Tamsin, Get the fuck out of there! All teams members accounted for. We have just setup a defensive perimeter outside. You are the last one. FALL BACK NOW, that is an order." Kendra squawked.
"Val…. I never retreat. I never surrender and I will *NEVER* back down from a fight." Tamsin stated in a dead serious tone as she brought her AR back up to firing position as she started to move from crate to crate.
"Fuck Tamsin, are all Valkyrie's this stubborn? You taught us how to be a better team, now live up to it. Will it hurt you to rely on us humans for ONCE in your life" Kendra yelled into Tamsin earpiece.
That was enough to kick her back into reality as she was just so rabidly obsessed with killing. 'Service to *my* god. BO DENNIS. My obligations can't be fulfilled if I am dead.' Echoed on her head as she reconsidered. She already had an impressive body count and the SWAT team did well too she concluded.
"Fine. Egressing to front warehouse doors." Tamsin stated as she jumped to the ground and rolled. As she did she saw the second wave of shape shifters heading towards her. She emptied her AR magazine as she walked quickly backwards to her exit point. More of them dropped to the ground lifeless, some were writhing in pain. They were almost on top of her and all around her in the crated lining up to the exit. She went into a sprint to the exit point to hopefully get into the red zone of her team mates to assist her. She never ran from something before and as she did she felt both shame and fear. Both feelings alien to her. She was tackled by 2 shifters at the last intersection of crates before the main warehouse doors. She reflexively pulled out her knife and stabbed the first shifter in the heart. She was not quite as strong as the shifter threw her into another set of crates breaking several of her ribs. She may have been wearing body armor, but shifters had intense power as compared to a human. She then pulled out her Glocks and emptied her final magazines to those blocking her exit and they dropped. She was coughing up blood and she was now limping as another set of shifters began to run after her. As one tried to tackle her, she rolled onto her back and used a straight leg to throw the shifter over her. The second one mounted her and started to punch her face madly.
She never felt so disoriented and in so much excruciating pain. Her body mind though was still that of a Valkyrie. The shifter that mounted her was howling in pain as Tamsin's secondary dagger implied him through the heart. Tamsin stabbed him without her even thinking about it consciously.
"I… I need help, *couch* *cough* Less than 50 meters from egress point and red zone." Tamsin radioed as she rolled over to her stomach.
"Copy. Alpha and Charlie, MOVE!. Bravo hold this position. Extract Terminator from the hot area." Kendra ordered.
She tried to get up, but fell back down onto the ground coughing up even more blood. Serious internal bleeding. She had minutes to live if she were a human she thought from all her experiences and dealings with this type of trauma. Her human body was just no match for that type of punishment. It was already impressive enough it lasted this long. She then heard a shape shifter growl at her from the top of a crate. Gnashing its teeth together. He wanted to see her in fear and die at his hand slowly. He leaped off the crates to jump on top of her but in a last ditch effort, Tamsin rolled and pulled her sword out and aimed it in the air. The shifter landed on top of it dead as it was impaled through the heart.
She reached into her boot and pulled out a 357 magnum snub nose 5 round revolver. She was now barely crawling to the exit. As she did 5 more shifters appeared from the top of the crates and she was now surrounded. Death was here. She knew it. "Bo, please forgive me" she uttered.
A loud boom of rifle fire erupted as her extraction team opened fire on the hostiles surrounding Tamsin. They all dropped like flies in howls of pain and agony. Carrot top and Spike set their 50 cal bipods just inside the doors and started to kill everything that moved. Kendra briskly carried Tamsin outside to safety with her team in tow.
"The fuckers are retreating!" Spike radioed as they all fell back to the perimeter outside.
"You are either the bravest or craziest person I know of Tamsin." Kendra stated as she set her down.
"Hey, you can't let others know about us ok? *cough* We are Fae and we live among you and if this got out, we will all be hunted to extermination." Tamsin whispered in Kendra's ear. "Keep the backup from entering into the warehouse and call Hale Santiago, Dyson's boss ok? He will send the right people to make this more palatable to the public. *cough cough cough*" Tamsin was getting really dizzy and knew she was fading fast.
"Hey, stay with me. Can't you just do some special power of something and heal yourself?" Kendra leaned over and whispered to her.
"I'm human Kendra. I am a fallen Valkyrie which means I have no more powers than you." She huffed out a laugh as her head felt like it was spinning faster. "You should have seen me in my glory days…." Tamsin then fell limp in Kendra's arms.
Kendra quickly undid Tamsin's vest and Kevlar covering to find where she was injured. "Hey where is that ambulance! We need it now!." Kendra yelled into her radio on a police band. While she was relieved that she was not crazy about beings that were not human, she also did not want to lose Tamsin either and screw up any chance of learning more.
"Secure the perimeter and don't let the backup units enter the warehouse" Kendra stated to the team. "You do NOT discuss what we just saw to anyone OK?" She said forcefully to the team. "Get me Hale Santiago ASAP. His team is the only one we can trust for this."
After Kendra removed Tamsin's body armor and open her shirt, she was aghast at what she saw. Sure Tamsin was not beading out, but almost her whole upper torso was inflamed and bruised due to internal bleeding. She had to keep Tamsin awake and conscious. She shifted Tamsin to a more prone position. She then resorted to shaking her somewhat violently, "Tamsin, fucking stay with me!... SHIT!" she yelled.
Tamsin felt something pulling her back into a somewhat semiconscious state. She opened her heavy eyes and saw Bo kneeling next to her trying to assess her injuries. She always had a wonderful smile. "You came." Tamsin said weakly as she bought her hand up to her face.
"Of course, why wouldn't I. We back each other up don't we" Bo said with a smile but a look of concern was on her face.
"You should have seen me. I dropped 50 plus Fae today. *cough*" Tamsin said as she spoke up.
"I know, that was impressive Tamsin. Can you teach me how to fight just like you?" Bo said in a soothing manner.
"You wish succubus." Tamsin said with a weak laugh. "I… I was …. scared… and I felt fear for the first time in over a millennia Bo. I am so ashamed" she confessed breaking eye contact.
"Tamsin, it's ok, we all felt scared today. You however still overcame it." Bo reassured her.
Tamsin started to go through a fit of coughing. She felt the cloak of death start to go over her. She forced herself to refocus on Bo. "Bo, death is here. I feel him. I was afraid to die a couple moments ago but now with you here the fear in my heart has been replaced with your love." Tamsin confessed in a weak and soft voice.
"No… NO! God damit stay with me!" Bo yelled shaking Tamsin violently "I DO NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DIE ON ME! You hear me! Fuck!"
Tamsin mumbled something inaudible and fell into the cloak of darkness.
