Chapter 9
Trevor raised an eyebrow as the woman stopped, as if only noticing their presence. She slowly closed the case.
"So, now you decide to show up. Interesting." He remarked. "What do you want with that?"
The woman did not reply, merely lifted the case from the table, drew her handgun and fled.
Laughing Trevor turned and began walking away. "I imagine you'll want to chase her, we'll finish this, later."
Growling at his father's overwhelming arrogance, Jason signalled the others and they quickly restocked their weapon supplies and took off in pursuit of the woman. As it turned out, she did not get far, for they soon heard gunfire ahead and found her shooting at a horde of Majini in the stairwell.
They immediately opened fire too which just prompted her to run, entering the room on the fifty-seventh floor. They hurried to follow her; only to enter into a nightmare. The place was swarming with Majini, some of them already with Cephalo erupting from their heads.
The woman had stopped, still holding the case and the gun. She glanced back at them and nodded. There was no choice now, they would have to work together to survive. They wasted no time, opening fire and attempting to find a way to break through the press and get some breathing room.
They were forced to use their grenades to blast open paths, while the hooded woman continued to fire and remain close to them. Sometimes they had to dodge as a Cephalo attempted to slice them open with its bladed head. With careful aim, Jason was able to shoot two Cephalo and kill them.
But the rest came down to blind luck, their grenades, Tim's swords, their combat knives and The Hooded Woman's support that ensured they remained strong.
When the final Cephalo fell, Tim finished it off with his sword and almost immediately turned to face the Hooded Woman. She was attempting to leave.
"Hold it, where do you think you're going?"
Jason nodded and stepped forwards. "Yeah, you've got some answers to give."
The woman merely shook her head; speaking for the first time since they had met her; her voice however sounded garbled. "No...I don't."
With that she suddenly dropped something onto the ground. A distraction device of some sort for it then exploded and when the group recovered, the woman was already gone.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me." Sappira snapped. "There's no way she got away so easily, that's..."
Cashmere shook her head. "Just leave it. We've got more important things to worry about.
'More than you...' Jason mused before speaking. "Exactly, let's keep going up, my father is waiting."
They all nodded and exited the floor, back into the stairwell. They briefly returned to the armoury to restock before heading upwards again, this time making it as far as the sixtieth floor, before things took a turn for the worse.
Just as they were passing the door of floor sixty, Jason called out.
"Down!"
They all ducked, just in time as something tore through the door and would have torn them in half if it hit them, an axe. At the same time something broke through the nearby wall, collapsing the stairwell ahead.
"Now." Jason called.
They had no choice, they burst through the door and rushed into the room, taking what cover they could, another armoury. They soon saw their enemies and identified them, an Executioner and, of all things, four Ndesu.
"You've gotta be kidding." David gasped.
Jason shook his head. "It'll be fine, just focus on the Executioner, I'll deal with the Ndesu."
They cringed at the thought of him fighting them alone but nodded, it was now or never. So while Jason drew the attention of the four Ndesu, the others opened fire on the Executioner, drawing his attention.
With a vicious roar he charged at them, but was slowed by his axe. They were able to weave past him, and fire at his back. With a grunt he swung his axe, aiming to strike with the hammer side, managing to catch Cashmere and David and knocked them aside. They quickly recovered however, both managing to avoid serious injury, just.
Seeing a chance they used their grenades to unleash a salvo of explosions on the Executioner.
When the dust cleared, it was still alive, albeit, badly injured. Roaring again it threw its axe like a boomerang, forcing the group to duck, before he then charged them again. Standing their ground this time, they fired and, once he was in range.
Tim used his sword to sever the beasts arm. It stopped, still roaring. Cashmere acted quickly, unleashing a full blast from both her shotguns into its face, finally killing it. Once it fell dead they turned and saw that the axe had finished off one of the Ndesu, with Jason already having killed one.
Only two remained and Jason was fighting one of them directly, while the other staggered, dazed. Taking a chance they used the last of their grenades, seeing their plan Jason threw his into the mix and took cover as the salvo burst forth. A low growl told them at least one survived, thankfully, that one was indeed the only one.
It charged forth, already targeting Tim and Sappira, but Jason used this to his advantage and, utilizing his infection, punched right through the last Plaga on its back, killing it for good. By the time it fell, they had already regrouped and prepared themselves for the next stage. Things were indeed heating up, but they knew where to go now.
They had to hurry to the top, there was nothing more they could do about the Hooded Woman, now Trevor was their priority.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
