Darkness.
Complete and utter darkness.
No sign of life, all that had run out.
As the Tyger Claws strode they're way through the lobby of Lizzies and were about ankles deep in blood.
Of Mox, Merc's, and they're own.
Mox were down, Merc's were down, Edgerunners down, the numbers coming in from Tyger were astronomical.
They out classed the mox in numbers, tech, and Aggression.
Even though The Mox put up a fight and took as many Tygers as they could, it was a loss.
They were the superior gang.
Until the roar of light power machine gun went off blowing those Tygers away.
As the women behind it was Regina as she was among the only to still be conscious and fighting.
She he been able to pull off this same trick 2 times now.
And with each space inbetween she has been able to pull Mox's to a safe position in which she could get them to Cassius Ryder and Vik.
For they were able to help get Mox's that were brought down and get them to stand up and fight again.
Right now Sera and Susie were getting worked on.
While Clementine and Mateo had to wait along with the few others that were still alive.
Regina only had so many bullets left until she was clean out and if the Tygers make the same mistake again then she was dead lucky that these bodies were absolute gonks.
The bodies of more Tyger Claws dropped. And Regina was waiting as she only had 50 bullets left.
After that she was done for.
So she waited in the darkness hoping further that they take the bait and fall for the same trap again.
Usually a Fixer didn't do shit like this and she probably shouldn't be here for she was rusty and was long gone from action this was honestly the most action she has gotten since 77.
But she couldn't let the balance in Watson go down like this.
And let Psycho fucks like Maelstrom dip they're toes in Kabuki, over her fucking dead body.
The sound of the doors sliding open was all she cared to hear as that's was all the green light she needed to pill the trigger and mow them down.
The fire from her gun being the only thing shining through the darkness.
But then she heard the sounds of guns going off.
They were returning fire at her as there was light now coming from the door she was shooting at.
For it was the last stretch that she now saw glimpses of someone moving within the gun fire.
She couldn't properly comprehend it but she knew she was done for as she was too slow to move or even take her finger off the trigger.
As the light from the gun and the blade of a Katana was swinging for her throat sparked into her eyes.
For she saw he life right before her eyes, all in a single moment.
From cop to reporter, to Fixer.
She was after The Laws Justice, Then After The Truth, and Now after her own form of Justice.
She didn't mind going out like defending those that needed it.
As she closed her eyes and accepted her fate...
A Fate That would never come.
For she opened her eyes to the sword had been snapped in half and the head of the Tyger had been knocked clean off his shoulders.
"You Okay Regina" spoke a familiar voice.
One she knew well enough that she turned to the left to see.
Rita Wheeler.
With eyes that were brightened up and a new air that spoke of Fluidity and Precision.
"Get to cover" said Rita as she stared at the doors that lead to the lobby and that would take her outside.
"I'll Make This Quick" said Rita as she went off as Regina could hear the Gunfire.
It all happened so fast that she couldn't get a damn word in.
But then another body came from where Rita came from.
As she saw a newly Implanted version of Aurora.
"Don't Worry Regina, were kicking those Tygers right out of Watson" spoke Aurora with a smile on her face and the gear to deliver some real damage as she took off toward the danger.
Leaving Regina stunned.
"I know they can't afford that tech"
Rita was long gone from the bar, past the lobby, and was already outside in the parking lot wrecking havoc upon Tygers.
They were so slow and broke apart like butter.
She would punch one and they're whole head would go clean off.
When she swung with her bat she watched they're skulls implode upon impact as she saw the splat and gory details in slow motion.
She used her pistols and unloaded a whole clip into each and every one of them.
To Rita everything was so slow and predictable, as she tore these invaders apart.
And by the time that Aurora arrived all that was left was a parking lot full of Tyger Cal Corpses.
Both man and women alike.
"What the fuck..." spoke Aurora as she saw Rita just standing there among the carnage.
Blood on her bat and a fire in her eyes.
The Dark Skies may have faded but as stated before "The Wicked Need No Sleep".
As now rolling down the street in a militech armored vehicle was among the few of those that take pleasure in the Cyber Occult.
"And just like I told you all, down like a bunch of pussies at a Joytoy house"
"Run them over, do a little dance, pop some Bronze in them, and Boom...
Magic" spoke one of the 4 in the vehicle.
"We could have done better"
"You saying my ways don't work"
"I'm saying we could have had more fun with em, if your catching my programming"
"Dirty fuck, save it for the live ones when were done" as the other man removed his own gear.
"Yeah, no fucking corpses in the van, just because it's stolen doesn't mean I want the smell of rotten flesh and cream fillingup my senses" spoke the driver as she removed her helmet.
And the argument between the 3 continued as the last person took off they're helmet.
And for all to know still breathing deep into they're chrome.
Rich wasn't happy.
