Alright guys! Ready for the next chapter!

I'm ready to kill that son of a bitch Nigel!

Chapter 6: The Showdown

As Alex came around yet another corner, he collided straight into another terrorist and the two began hand to hand combat. Alex grabbed onto the terrorist's AK and wrestled it from his wings, however the terrorist did the same after and Alex's M4 went sailing off. The two then took out their knives and swung at each other, taunting the other to come froward.

Alex had enough and with his talons, he kicked the terrorist straight in the belly, the terrorist not expecting this, he fell to the floor. Alex took out Ralph's M1911 and put a couple of bullets in the terrorist's chest, killing him. Alex retrieved his M4 and continued on his way, quietness settling over.

Alex thought he killed everyone, as it was all quiet, so quiet that Alex could hear his steady breathing. Alex lowered his M4 and looked for the basement, as he spotted the way down, he heard heavy footsteps nearby and the click of guns. Alex looked in the direction of the noise and spotted his worst nightmare. Bullet sounds came and Alex found himself talking cover behind some barrels.

"Shit!" Alex yelled out as the bullets impacted the barrels, making sparks and bullet holes.

Alex came face to face with two heavy gunners, complete with RPD machine guns with 100 round drum magazines. The gunners also had a complete set of body armor, from head to toe, as well as many magazines strapped to their waist and also hung from their shoulders as well.

The gunners made sure that at least one of them was firing while the other reloaded so that Alex couldn't even get a single shot at them. And even if Alex could, what good would his bullets do against all the body armor the gunners worn. Alex had to figure out a way to kill them.

He checked his grenades and found he only had one smoke grenade left, both his frag grenades and flashbangs used up. He had to make this count. As if the angels were watching him, one of the gunner's gun jammed while firing and the other one was busy reloading his gun. Alex did not waste another second and threw the smoke grenade at the two, making them blind to his movement as the smoke filled around them.

Alex took his chance to bolt away and get something he remembered he faced before. He retraced his steps and found the terrorist who fired the RPG at him earlier and took the launcher as well as a rocket and went to an end of an alleyway, making sure he can quickly duck into a cover. As he loaded the rocket and got set, he took out the M1911 and fired a single bullet to get the gunners' attention.

Alex waited for them with the RPG aimed at the direction they would come and took heavy breaths as he heard them come closer and closer. They soon enough came and they were quite shocked to see Alex aiming the RPG.

"Goodnight you bastards." Alex said and pressed the trigger.

He then just ducked into the cover next to him while the terrorists fired at him, missing him as the rocket continued on its way. Alex heard the explosion and the sounds of bullets being fired stopped at the same time and he peeked out to see the heavy gunners completely vaporized. Alex breathed a sigh of relief and again made his way to the basement.

Coming down to the floor by some stairs, he raised his M4, expecting some terrorists to be ready for him. However no one was there, just an empty hallway greeted Alex as he silently made his way to the last door on the right, the room that his sister was in. Alex took out the M1911 and backing up a little, he kicked down the door, handgun ready as he saw his sister all tied up on a chair, facing him.

"Lisa!" Alex shouted as he went inside to untie her.

Lisa looked up to see her brother, but started shouting at him. Alex could not understand her as her beak was ducktaped. She was clearly trying to warn Alex because suddenly a metal pipe hit Alex in the back of the head and he fell down and was knocked out, a bloody spot where the pipe hit.

"Too easy." Nigel laughed evilly as he held onto the pipe.

Alex stayed knocked out for awhile before waking up and rubbing the back of his head, finding a bit of blood when he put his wing before his face.

"Finally awake I see, took you long enough." An evil voice greeted Alex as he opened his eyes fully to see Nigel.

"You." Was all Alex could say.

"What's the matter? Angry?" Nigel taunted him.

Alex tried to get up with his wing, but Nigel simply just kicked him in the side, Alex falling down and facing away from Nigel. Alex coughed and some blood came out from his beak as he felt a little weak. While Alex tried to get up again, Nigel came and picked Alex up with his talons around his neck, choking him.

"You really thought it was going to be that easy? That I would allow you to get your sister?" Nigel said.

"No, but I could do without your fucking stinky breath." Alex returned with determination, which earned him a punch in the beak after Nigel let go of his neck.

Alex struggled to breath properly as he continued to cough some blood while Nigel just simply paced back and forth before Alex, enjoying the pain he was in. Meanwhile Lisa was watching the whole thing with tears flooding out of her eyes.

"You know, I really do enjoy this." Nigel chuckled as he once again grabbed onto Alex. "You will know pain like there is no tomorrow and I'm going to make your sister watch." And Nigel threw Alex, Alex hitting a wall on his back.

"If you really think you are that tough, why don't you fight me fair and square." Alex challenged Nigel, even thought Alex knew he couldn't really fight.

"Fine by me, means you will die a lot slower and that will entertain me more." Nigel replied and cracked his knuckles.

Alex charged froward with a wing raised for a punch, aiming for Nigel's head, but Nigel blocked and held it with his wing and using his other wing, he punched Alex against the side of his head, disorienting him. Nigel then twisted the wing he was holding, causing Alex to cry out in pain as it really hurt.

However Alex quickly recovered from the pain and with his talons, he successfully clawed at Nigel's belly, causing him in turn to yell in pain. The two separated and Nigel looked down to see a little rip in his skin, some blood showing. Alex caught his breath and with his head, he rammed himself against Nigel, knocking him down to the floor now.

"Well this is getting more interesting." Nigel commented as he got up, still much tougher than Alex.

Alex prepared himself when he noticed Nigel now charging at him. Alex blocked the punch from Nigel with his wing and he found himself being pushed back slowly as Nigel put his weight into Alex. Alex felt his wings go weaker and weaker and eventually his wings gave in and Alex got a gash on his face from Nigel's talons as Nigel clawed at him in return. Alex felt his cheek burn up, but he knew he had to put the pain aside and focus on surviving and trying to gain an upper hand.

The two faced each other, taunting each other with looks to get the other to attack. Alex broke first and he against attacked, but this time, watching both of Nigel's wings. As Alex again found his punch blocked by Nigel's wing, he knew the other wing was coming to deliver its blow, but this time, Alex ducked it and with his free wing he punched Nigel in the beak from the side. Nigel, now, was the one who was disoriented by this attack.

"Looks like I'm just as tough." Alex remarked as Nigel laid down.

Nigel just recovered and threw himself at Alex, knocking him over and pinning the Scarlet macaw down. Nigel then processed to rapidly punch Alex in the face, Alex struggling to breath as the world came going from black to colorful, the colorful side going more blurry with each punch. Alex just kicked Nigel in the back with his talons and forced him off him, Nigel rolling over and going besides Alex.

Alex got up and came in front of Nigel and was about to do the same thing that Nigel did to him. However Nigel tripped Alex up with his talons, causing him to land hard, face first, on the floor. Alex felt his beak literally breaking as Nigel got up and with his two wings, he picked up Alex and using all his strength, he threw Alex against the wall. Alex feeling his bones breaking even more as he coughed out a lot more blood.

"And now you die." Nigel said as he slowly walked up to Alex, loading in a magazine in a handgun.

Alex saw blurriness at first and when his eyes returned to focus, he looked upon a miracle, as if God, yet again, watched over him. It was Ralph's M1911. Nigel had taken Alex's weapons off him while he was passed out and placed them against the wall and Nigel, not even realizing it has thrown Alex to the weapons. Alex smiled as he took the handgun and checked the magazine while making sure his actions were hid from Nigel's view.

"Any last words before you die." Nigel said as he pointed the handgun at Alex.

"Yes, time for you to die." Alex quickly said and just as quickly rolled away from Nigel's gun and facing Nigel he shot a bullet straight through his chest.

Nigel's face went from evil to a blank stare as he looked down to see a bullet hole in his chest with blood coming out from it. Nigel let go of his gun and fell down with his back against the floor while putting a wing over his chest. Alex painfully got up, with the M1911 still in his wing, and walked over to Nigel, gun pointing at his forehead.

"Say hi to your brother in hell for me." Alex said with anger and pulled the trigger.

The shot instantly killed Nigel and the cockatoo went still, his wing still over his chest and his face with that blank expression. Alex stared down at his defeated opponent, satisfied and happy it was all over. Forgetting about the pain, he limped his way over to his sister to finally free her.

And there we go guys!

I killed Nigel! But are my troubles over? Will I get that court martial and be put in prison? Will I live?

And I'll stop asking unnecessary questions and let you guys wait until the next chapter!
