Hello User fans, chapter 35 is coming out earlier than usual. Why? Because I felt like it.
Now, it's question time (Or statements that I have a retort to):
Question 1: What will happen once the game finishes, since ME doesn't have unlimited play time?
Answer 1: Well, if you checked out the rewrite of chapter one I mentioned that Ty installed the games onto his Xbox hard drive. Now, I am not going to say more. You can just keep reading to see how I pull it off.
Question (Statement) 2: The one main problem is that you sometimes get words jumbled up.
Answer 2: Well, what can I do? Both my betareaders flaked on me so I am just writing and doing my best to edit. If someone is a good betareader and is good with grammar then send me a PM. Love to have your help.
Question (Statement) 3: A little odd with the Sovvy conversation.
Answer3: Well, that's what happens when the Users aren't around to mess with things. The game shifts back to normal.
Now, onto the story.
ROAD HOUSE!
Danny:
Ty began running at Danny but Danny managed to hold his ground and keep his smile. He knew Ty was under a lot of stress and trying to make him wear some of it off. HE saw matrix code lash out from Ty as he started shifting into what looked to be Megaman. Suddenly, two blades shot out of the ground from where Ty was before with two chains attached to them.
Danny just held his ground and maintained his smile but began panicking inside and Kratos leaped out of the whole and managed to catch up to Ty with ease. Luckily, Ty was close enough that Danny was able to help him. Danny pulled his pistol off his side and thought of something that could handle Kratos's melee factor.
Danny's pistol shot out and formed into the gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII. He swung it right at Kratos when he was in striking distance and was able to weave the sword around Ty while doing so. Kratos saw the blade coming and managed to dodge backwards while doing so. That gave Danny a reason to use the gun part.
He quickly tensed on the trigger and managed to hit Kratos knocking him back further than he was intending. Danny immediately grabbed Ty by the shoulder and shook him. Once he got Ty's attention he pointed at Kratos.
"Tall, pale, and fugly is back."
Ty immediately pulled up his buster cannon and then yelled orders, "Kirrehe, shut the AA gun down. We are going to need the Mako for this guy. Cody, get your ass out here and provide sniper support."
Danny looked over at Kratos who had finished gathering his blades and was walking toward them, "What's our plan?"
Ty aimed his buster cannon at Kratos and kept a calm voice, "Figured I would supply long range fire until Cody gets out here. You keep him and mid-range, seriously, don't go toe to toe with this guy."
Danny shook his head no, "You took on Samus in hand to hand."
"Yeah, but she wasn't-", Ty was cut off as a Chaos blade split between them
Danny thought quick and stepped on the chain and grabbed it with his left hand. Kratos yanked the blade back and Danny with it. Danny got yanked straight at Kratos so quick he almost lost his grip but managed to hold, just barely.
Danny readied his blade and let go of the chain before Kratos could whip his off the chain. Letting go caused Danny to hit the ground and slide. Danny worked fast moving on instinct and reflex. He pointed his sword forward and once he was close enough, stabbed it into Kratos.
Danny smiled at how easy it was but that smile quickly faded. Kratos looked up from the sword in his chest to Danny and pulled up one of his blades. Danny thought quickly and threw his legs up and fired his gunblade which sent him flying backward, Danny moved just in time as he flew backward he saw Kratos making a wide swing holding his chians but Danny was just far enough away that he was able to avoid Kratos's attack.
Danny hit the ground with a thud and looked up and looked up at Kratos. He had a big hole in his chest from Danny's stab but it was sealing up. Danny knew that he couldn't let the bastard heal and began rapidly firing shots at Kratos.
Kratos took three shots before he pulled out a bow and took aim. Danny saw the super charged shot and looked back and forth for a place to hide. From where he was cover was too far away to get to and he had no way to hide from the attack.
Danny hefted the sword and felt that in the short time he hadn't moved, the stamina hit he took was catching up to him. Even if he could move there was no cover to move to which left him only one option. Danny pulled up the blade and took aim. He was going to have to shot the arrow before it got him.
Danny knew he wasn't a sniper but in this case he would try his best to aim. Danny waited until Kratos was about to fire and then he took the shot. Danny was a big cloud of smoke exploded from Kratos and Danny had hope that he had hit the arrow.
Suddenly, a projectile shot from the smoke and slammed into Danny knocking him back into a wall of a building. Danny saw Kratos walk from the smoke with his now healed wound and looking more pissed than ever. He had two glowing metal lion heads on his hands and was walking straight toward Danny.
Danny pulled up his omnitool and hit the medigel button and felt the scraps that he just got from sliding seal up. Danny then looked around for his sword and saw it several feet away. Danny reached forward and began crawling for his weapon. Danny got within reaching distance but was cut off as Kratos stepped in the way.
Danny looked up at his am saw that Kratos had a look of disappointment with Danny. Danny looked back up at him and maintained an unconquerable look. In the back of his mind he just continued to wonder where Ty had gone.
Danny looked around frantically for Ty but saw him nowhere. Danny looked back at Kratos who was raising the lion head on his left hand. Danny thought quickly and time slowed down. He focused a throw in his hand and right as Kratos finished winding up he hit him with a throw.
Kratos went flying backwards and started being hit by yellow orbs. Danny followed their firing path and saw Ty on top of the AA tower unloading with dual buster cannons. Danny took the distraction and got up to picked his gunblade up. He slowly hobbled over to some decent cover and began catching his breath, hoping Ty and Cody could take Kratos without him.
Ty:
"Take this you son of a bitch!"
I was unloading everything I had on Kratos, which was primarily buster cannon shots. I was not only kicking myself for starting the fight with Danny beforehand but the fact that I thought he could hold Kratos off while I climbed a tower.
Kratos was dodging well and I had to keep adjusting my aim to keep him off centered. It was easy to keep him in a corner at least. I had him at the far right side of the facility to the west. He couldn't come forward because of my cannons and he couldn't go backward because of the drop off.
Only problem with Kratos was that if you continued to be repetitious with him he would eventually figure out a way to kill you. On top of figuring how to mix up my strategy, the AA gun was still online. We needed the mako and we needed it fast.
I nudged my comm with my helmet and began yelling at Cody, "What the hell man, why is this gun still online?!"
Cody came back over frantic with sounds of work in the background, "Jean had an idea, we are going to reboot the gun and use it against Kratos."
"That's not what I ordered; you get this gun offline now!"
The gun whined and then died as it stopped firing and came to rest at a horizontal position. Next step was to call Joker. I pulled away one of my cannons to make the call and Kratos was able to slip by. I cursed and hit the comm button.
"Joker, we have the AA guns down. We need a Mako drop."
Joker had a calm voice that showed he was working, "Alright, I will do that on my way to drop off the bomb."
I was about to ask for time but stopped when Kratos began climbing up the tower. He was moving fast thanks to the chains and was not going to be stopped. I almost jumped and to try and smash into him but I remembered what happened when he was falling with Icarus and that wouldn't be to welcomed. I quickly ran threw everything that Megaman could do and came to a conclusion.
I readied my right buster cannon and began charging a shot. I stepped back from the ledge and waited for Kratos to bust up like he always does. I waited for about sixty seconds until one of his blades flew up and landed on the edge of the tower.
I pointed right at it and fired but it didn't budge. Then Kratos finished climbing up the tower nad got onto the tower with me. I quickly ran to the edge to give a comfort zone between me and him but I had to face it. There was no comfort zone near Kratos.
I pulled up my cannon arm but there was no cannon. My suit had degenerated back into regular Scorpion armor. Luckily, Kratos brought up his arms to defend against the blast. This gave me a chance to react and I ran and jumped off the roof.
I immediately regretted my course of action as I fell toward the ground. I took a second to think and that was a second too long. I hit the ground with a thud and my eyes went haywire. I couldn't focus and had to force myself to get up.
I tried to figure out how to walk and was silently thanking Mass Effect's programming that allowed for strength enhancement armor. Without it I wouldn't have been able to get up. After I was up to my feet and had a chance to let my eyes realign I was able to look up.
I saw a small speck in that was getting bigger. There was only one thing it could be, the Normandy. I quickly began to run to the edge of the cliff and pulled up the comm.
"Cody, where are you?"
Cody came over the comm frantic, "I'm on my way. I'm just having trouble seeing."
Ty turned around and saw Kratos was half way down the tower, "What do you mean?"
I heard Cody open up his sniper rifle in the background, "I couldn't see, matrix code filled my vision."
I pulled my assault rifle off my back and began taking pot shots at Kratos as he climbed, "Are you going to be able to shoot him?"
Cody took a deep breath, "Yeah, I think."
I clenched my jaw, "You think?!"
Kratos jumped the last ten feet of the tower and landed in a full on sprint heading right for me. I needed something big to happen and quick. No way I could stand up to Kratos in a toe to toe fight. I tried clenching my fist, grabbing my shoulder and strait focusing but there was no way I could change my armor.
Kratos was getting too close, I felt myself walking backwards in fear. I walked backward all the way to the edge of the facility. There was no more time. Kratos was right up on me and there was no hope in sight.
Kratos ripped a blade off his back and began swinging it. The only thing I could think to do was step backwards. I felt myself slide off the facility and go down the cliff. I looked up as I fell and the last thing I saw was the Normandy flying overhead and Kratos's blade barely missing me.
So, I think I am just going to answer to PMs/Reviews when needed rather than per every ten chapters. So, if you want a question answered, leave it in a review.
