Gears in switch as out in broad day light The Tyger Claws put a full-on assault on The Mox.
Bullets flying in rapid succession as the girls guarding up front went down hard.
From gunfire to now, swordsman now stormed through the front door.
As the main lobby was now home to the pressure.
But the swordsman did not make it far as they were sprayed with Bronze.
Bullets speeding through chambers, cutting through the wind and piercing flesh and steel, ripping through circuitry and tissue like butter.
The constant back and forth from invaders and defenders as they shot back at each other.
Bullets like flys scattering in different directions outside and inside swarms, trading back and forth as the mox Shooters from inside were now taking cover picking their spots as they shoot back.
But the Tygers Claws were aggressive and closing any gap possible as the main lobby was wiped out.
They opened to the main room, and they were obliterated just by the amount of people and fire power being punched in through the main room.
Shooters and swordsmen in the lobbie were dropped hard.
As the all the Mox players were in the main room.
Clementine, Seraphina, Susie, Mateo, and the experienced Mox that were there.
While the inexperienced took position on top of the building and shot from above.
But that wasn't it as more cars and bikes drove in the parking lot, and even enough to blockade the street for these next tygers were far more advanced for the mox to handle.
As they had slightly above average Grade Cyberwear.
For a matter of seconds, they had entered through the lobby, made it to the main room, and hacked away at Mox.
They were Sandevistan user's equipped with Mantis blades.
And they hacked and slashed away at any and every mox they reached.
Clementine had been stabbed through.
Seraphina had been shot in the shoulder and was stabbed through in the spot her wound was.
Mateo was was still during but the were dodging all his shots. But they eventually brought him down stabbing him from his left side.
Susie met the same fate as Clementine, but she wasn't going to go out like this.
As lucky for her, her attacker was exhausted, and while she was impaled, she pointed her gun directly at his head and shot him point blank.
Sending his brains into scraps.
And her falling to the ground in not just her own blood but her enemies and her friends blood.
This was the end for the mox.
At least, that was what she thought as she saw the tygers with Sandevistan turned to come kill her but like in slow motion frame by frame she saw the rest of them as they're heads turned to mush as they were shot directly in the head.
She then saw a familiar face along with some people she did not recognize before.
But there was one face she did recognize, and that was the face of the Fixer the mox was tied to.
Regina Jones.
As Susie's vision faded to black
On the other side of Watson in the North Side District.
The Totentanz.
Rich was fighting like hell as his body and mind were being pushed toward the limit.
On the breach of death, he was seeing constant red and blacks.
As if his idea of hell was Cyberspace.
And he wouldn't be that wrong.
But he could not go. He needed to keep fighting as his body was being fried to bits as his blood was mixing in the water and the severe blood loss also pushing him over the edge.
Cyberpsychosis was in him, part of him, and he had always danced around it, but this time it seemed that this was it.
The red fizzled out, and all that was left was black.
He now believed he was dead for sure of it as the heat was gone, and all he was feeling was the cold.
The freezing temperatures are now raiding into his bones.
As his mind was finally going blank.
Finally, peace.
"LIARRRRRRRRRRRRR"
The screaming piercing voice of a man he admired blasted him awake as he rushed out for the bloody water.
As once again he rose from the water as he was meet with a mixture of boo's and cheers.
He didn't know what the fuck was going on.
All he knew was that he was alive as a pair of arms wrapped around him.
"Congratulations brother, you are now at the same basis as Brother Royce" spoke Bjorn as he pulled Rich out as he wrapped up his now destroyed leg.
But his hearing was now clearer as he was hearing the crowd.
"Ah This Is Fucking Bullshit"
"Put him back in the tub"
"Damn it, he lived"
"Fuck this"
"Give Him The Scoop"
"Damn, a new top guy"
"The Ripper lives to Rip again"
"Finally a fucking motion"
"Dream Team Baby, Dream Team"
"STICK HIS GUTS IN THE FUCKING FRYER"
Yup as he expected, fucking blood hounds.
"Bjorn, you couldn't wait for me to show up back at your spot"
"This was all brother Royces idea and it picked up the results and now your in a very rare class amongst the top in Maelstrom"
"God damn it"
Suddenly the slow Clap was being given as Royce made his way to Rich.
"Congrats you've really proven yourself" spoke Royce with a smile.
"First I thought you were just a weak rat, but I've seen you've gone out of your way to bring benefit to Maelstrom"
"When Dum Dum spilled to me what you've been doing I wanted to gut you out personally and turn you into scraps"
"But then i got to thinking now that we have a relationship with Animals, why not finally put the bullshit down and make some history"
Dum Dum came behind and grabbed Rich's shoulder.
"Follow me, Dum Dum be a krutch, me and him need to discuss some future business"
As the crowd were now looking at royce as the rumors had been flying around.
Rumors of Maelstrom making big moves.
All answered easily.
"The World's Changing"
