Chapter 17
Firebase: Giant
Massive dust winds in far distance grew. The base was rusted yet functional. Cerberus infantry had taken over causing the location as another site for their
operations. Jumping out of their shuttle, the team moved in formation. Raidenka grabbed ahold of a new weapon as he was dared by Danita. Raidenka laughed
at this holding a massive shotgun made by the Krogans named "M-300 Claymore" a powerful yet slow reloading shotgun. A shotgun that fires only 1 shot per
shell. Danita was dared by Dominic to wield a small pistol named"N7 Eagle" a rapid firing pistol that is more like a sub-machine gun than a pistol. Dakar wielded
an unusual weapon an assault rifle named"M-55 Argus" a grenade launcher. Dominic was dared by Kyra to use "Kishock Harpoon gun". He didn't want to but
he did it anyway. Kyra was dared by everyone else to only use her "M-3 Predator" a small side arm pistol. He didn't mind which he felt he could wield either
way. Kyra stood behind them thinking of them as silly kids messing around.
"Alright team, we have important Cerberus enemies in this sector" said Hackett
"Eliminate all Cerberus men and their leaders named "Centurions" "said Hackett over the radio
"Roger that sir, let's move!" yelled Kyra
"Bitches stand aside!"yelled Raidenka jumping over the steel barricades
"Oh not this time!" yelled Dominic as he flew past him and fired randomly his harpoon into a Cerberus trooper
"HAHA lucky shot! Remember if you use anything else you lose this challenge Dom! "yelled Raidenka
"You boys are going to lose" said Danita
"HAHA coming from someone with a small pistol?! What no way" said Raidenka with such confidence
"Game on" said Dakar as he jumped onto Raidenka's back and over him, firing his Argus weapon into 2 other troopers.
"Hey! No piggy backs" yelled Raidenka
Dominic laughed while taking cover behind a massive weapon crate. Danita fired her N7 Eagle and reloaded. Checking her corners she noticed the red dot of a
Cerberus Assassin. Dominic flew up and fired his one shot Harpoon gun. Kyra ran forward without her tech armor. Kyra aimed forward her small predator pistol.
Rapidly shooting headshots at her opponents she rolled out of the way and into cover.
"HAHA you guys struggling yet?!"asked Raidenka
"Nope, were doing really good" said Danita
Dakar ran forward up the massive ramp and fired into the computer room with a layout of the weapons and massive guns on this station. His Argus launcher
fired rapidly his grenades bounced off walls and exploded around his Cerberus enemies. Raidenka climbed up the stairs exhausted as he stopped and looking
around a Cerberus Guardian rushed at it he gained anger but then thought about the challenge.
"Your lucky today you shielded bastard"he said
Raidenka pointed his claymore with one hand extended and fired it into the Cerberus Guardian's left foot as he screamed and fell back onto the ground.
Raidenka reloaded and walked over him as his head bursted.
"Another count for me" said Raidenka
Danita grabbed ahold of a Cerberus Centurion and used him as a human shield then fired the back of his head. He fell hard into the ground as she tapped the heated thermal clip out of its chamber. Looking back she could Dominic reloading his Harpoon gun and struggling a little.
"Great!? Oh how I hate this gun" he said
"Give up Dominic?" said Kyra over the radio laughing
"Ugh..?! Wait no I'm good" he said
Danita fired the enemy that rushed towards him. Looking up he nodded and finished his harpoon gun. Taking cover beside him she laughed at his attempt.
Dakar couldn't use his cloaking so instead he ran up through ventilation ducks and jumped out of them. His Argus exposed him as he didn't like much of the
idea but was willing to play. Kyra aimed forward taking in fresh breathes of air, each pulled she fired was direct. Each clip wasted was used calmly and knew
she had no secondary weapon besides this one.
Smoke of massive grey began to cloud around Raidenka as he ran out looking back and fired into the smoke killing randomly a Cerberus Assassin. He laughed
as another rushed in behind him with a gleaming katana ready to strike until Danita fired at her and Raidenka turned around. The assassin was blown away
nearly in 2 pieces as the powerful Krogan Claymore sent her flying backwards 12 feet away.
"Saved you Raidenka "said Danita as she stood beside him
"Hahaha nice one Glass face" said Raidenka
Dominic rushed towards them as he looked at Raidenka. Dakar jumped out of the ruined glass window and grabbed ahold of the ladder. He slid downward into
the rusted floor. Kyra and Dakar were both back to back as an Atlas and a Cerberus Centurion fired at them.
"Not bad lieutenant you managed to piss them off" he said
"First time I hear you crack a joke about something" she said smiling towards him
" Trust is something earned not given" he said
Both took their targets head on except Kyra knew the Atlas wouldn't go down by her pistol. The other 3 members ran towards them as they headed towards
the Atlas.2 other Centurions remained alive. Kyra looked at the 2nd to last die at the hands of Dakar's Argus. The Atlas's body began to electrocute as the
harpoon pierced through the yellow glass. The pilot yelled as he tried to move on. He couldn't see anything as he was shot up by the team. The atlas fell back
crushing the running away Cerberus Centurion.
"Good work team were regaining control again" said Hackett
"Dominic seems like you failed with that gun!" yelled Raidenka
"Hey!...it's hard to get used to it" said Dominic
"Not bad boys you tried though and I saved 2 of you today" said Danita
"I heard the commotion, seems like girls win "said Kyra smiling
"Well we tried" said Dominic
Their shuttle arrived as they headed back
