Chapter 7
Moving out of the Watchtower, onto the outer wall, Lydia led her team in pursuit of Kiko. They remained wary as they advanced, keeping their eyes open for any signs of her, or the B.O.W.s, especially as Jacob currently had no usable gun. Their progress was hampered when they found themselves under attack as they crossed the wall, heading for the upper door to the guardhouse. Attacked by Kipepeo.
"Shit, of all the..." Jacob complained.
Lydia shook her head. "Quickly, get that door open!"
She and the others opened fire, trying to kill the flying B.O.W.s as they swooped in, trying to strike. Jacob hurried to the door and, exerting some force as it was stiff, managed to open it, allowing them access. They quickly ducked inside, slamming the door shut behind them, cutting a Kipepeo in half in the process.
Shayla shook her head. "Urgh, just what we need, we better hurry, where could she have gone?"
Ayame shrugged. "Knowing my sister, she's already ahead of us; she'll be in the main courtyard, our only option is to open the gate."
"Well, this is where we can do that." Jake replied. "Let's see now."
They looked carefully around the guardroom; finally finding the winch to open the gate, but as they did so, Lydia observed through a window and saw that Kiko had once again led them into a trap.
"Get ready guys, Kiko wanted us to open that door!" She warned. "Now we've got a swarm of Majini and Adjule coming out of the main courtyard."
The others readied themselves, thankfully finding an ammo cache to restock and, kicking open the previously blocked door, Lydia led the way out to the battle that awaited them.
They opened fire the moment their enemies caught sight of them and soon they were charging onwards, blasting a path through the horde. Reaching the main courtyard they found yet another ambush, more Majini and an Executioner.
"Oh fuck, this is bad..." Ayame muttered. "Wait, there!"
She pointed out Kiko, standing watching them, smirking as she stood by the door leading inside the main castle itself. They now knew what they had to do and immediately got to work, readying their weapons.
Using their grenades to clear paths through the Majini and Adjule, Jacob shot down the last Kipepeo and they swiftly dodged the Executioner's axe while killing more Majini. A brief glance told Ayame that her sister was shocked by their efficiency, before long, only the Executioner itself remained, and it was already wounded.
"A gallant effort, but it won't be enough." She snapped before hurrying inside the castle.
"Let's go, finish it off." Lydia cried out.
They opened fire but despite its wounds, the Executioner remained rather resilient. That was, until Jake took a risk, charged in and, dodging the axe, lodged a grenade into its clothing. The resulting explosion did the trick and what remained of the Executioner staggered and crumpled in a heap.
"Nice shot." Shayla remarked.
Jake just nodded. "Alright, let's go, we can't let her get away."
The others nodded and they advanced, only to be knocked backwards by the force of two more B.O.W.s landing in the courtyard, right in front of them.
The B.O.W.s facing them were identical, two large muscular beasts, with pale gray/brown skin, large white eyes with no pupils and wearing ripped shorts with a rope belt with dead human bodies and skulls attached, they also had long gray beards.
"Ndesu!" Lydia realized. "Now we've got real trouble."
They agreed, for they recalled their briefing, the Ndesu would be immune to their guns, and only the most forceful blows would shake them, although they had their weak points, the hard part would be getting those weak points.
With powerful roars, both Ndesu charged and the group leapt out of the way; the Ndesu skidded to a stop and turned; but before they did so, the group realized they had finally found the weak points, various Plagas within the creatures spines. Using grenades and firing at the Ndesu to distract them, Jacob and Ayame lured the beasts towards them.
Meanwhile, Lydia, Shayla and Jake circled around and began firing upon their exposed weak spots. It soon became clear that most of the Plagas were very weak, but the largest one on both was much more durable. Roaring in pain and rage, the Ndesu lashed out at the group, forcing them to dodge and regroup again. But the Ndesu gave them little time to prepare for another attack.
They were now forced onto the run, forced to wait for an opening and to try and take it.
They finally saw their chance when the first Ndesu tried to corner Jacob and Jake, Ayame and Lydia wasted no time and opened fire on the beast's remaining Plaga, finally destroying it and sending the monster reeling before it finally collapsed. Then they heard a scream and turned to see the second.
"Shayla!" Lydia cried out.
The Ndesu had a hold of Shayla and had lifted her off the ground, ready to attack her, to kill her. But then Jake was there, and, with extraordinary strength, drove his knife into the last Plaga making the Ndesu drop Shayla, roaring with pain before Jake pulled the knife out. Staggering briefly the Ndesu finally fell dead. Lydia immediately rushed up to her daughter.
"Shayla!".
She shook her head. "I'll be fine Mom, the thing caught me off guard...I can keep going."
Lydia shook her head, but knew she couldn't convince Shayla otherwise, so she reluctantly accepted this and, regrouping and preparing their weapons once more, they hurried to the entrance of the main castle, ready to confront Kiko before she pulled another trick on them.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
