Chapter 124: The feudal showdown part 2
Note: Readers please listen to Samurai Warriors 2 Annihilation while reading this:
Well, even after all of these chapters I am still in this forest, still fighting the enemies, though I only hope that this will be it this time, as there are no more enemy reinforcements, and there's not that many left though it does include 5 bosses and they're no doubt at full health or at least close to it, whereas there's only 3 of us left, and 2 of us are ever so close to dying, and no doubt the third isn't that far off, at least it's the best we have with 3 vs 5 bosses including a few extra enemy grunts who I hope all of the missiles from the Javelin that have been launched, will do the trick in wiping them out, and hopefully wounding the bosses significantly so that we may stand a chance in beating them.
As I launch all the missiles I have in the Javelin, and reload some more, my mind keeps going on how it all comes down to this as to whether we'll lose and with that Lastation along with our hopes of a free world, or will we win, and we'll be able to attempt a rescue mission and after that attempt to stop a supply convoy by sea, which will bring us one step closer before we can take the offensive, and do our absolute best to capture Pallet Town and Viridian City, which is the closest to Lastation and for chapters we have been fighting so that they can be liberated for good. It will be a long time before we are no longer at the brink of ultimate defeat, and I feel that we are at this point right now, with the odds stacked against us.
I also wonder about how we can defeat them, these enemies to ensure victory after shooting the missiles considering not only is our health and numbers are significantly less than them, but so is our speed which we have relied on so much before, I suppose it all depends on how effective will these missiles be in their contribution of defeating them, with regards how many of the enemy troops can we defeat, and how much damage we can do to those bosses, and whether they can injure them enough so that it will affect their ability to defeat us.
Whatever the outcome will be, it must be a relief for Stealth, who's numbers must overwhelm him, and it must be such a massive struggle for him to avoid getting shot, let alone being able to defeat his enemies, but whatever the result of the missiles, I have to assume the worst, that the effect will be little, and that our good ally Stealth will fall to them, and it'll just be myself and White against all of them.
I know it would be best to try and split them up and to pick them off, but our health is too low, all we have are a sniper rifle and a Gatling gun, but the sniper rifle I'm unsure if it even has enough bullets to wipe them all out, let alone quick enough, and the Gatling gun again would there be the bullets, since there's so many of them.
This does not look good, but I know one thing is that I'll need to get Stealth to lure them towards us, and to see if we can focus on one at a time, until they are all dead, it is then I wonder about whether the sniper rifle could be used to shoot them enough times such that they are wounded enough that moving quickly will be a struggle, and that should give us an advantage or at least have a disadvantage removed, which is what we desperately need.
I find myself in such difficulty trying to calm myself as I worry about what I'm going to do in response, and reminded myself about what the enemy could do, I do wonder about whether they would simply carry on with their mission, knowing full well that their strength has greatly diminished, but I wonder whether they know that even when they were at full strength they would have had absolutely zero chance against Lastation, and the point was merely to cause a war and for its demise, and they were to be the sacrificial lambs.
I keep wondering this, how can a group like these people who are playable characters from Samurai Warriors, be willing to throw their lives away to ensure victory for Team Rocket, even though my gut tells me it's really Neptune, perhaps they have been brainwashed a little but just enough by her such that they have an interest in fighting and dying like this, and although I know they are the sort to fight to the death despite heavy odds, I can't see them going on a suicide mission unless they have no choice, and here I feel they could have sent more.
The thing is though, I wonder if maybe it could be that if more was sent to harm Lastation then they would fall, and perhaps they intend to coordinate with Leanbox to do a simultaneous attack on two fronts, or maybe it could be just Neptune trying to stack up the odds and yet throw her troops away like it's cannon fodder, as she certainly doesn't care about her people more that they love her, and follow her without question, which is ever so sad to say the least.
Oh, I just wish that I was able to invade Planeptune right now, find Neptune and put a stop to her madness, this desire for tyranny and sadism where people are nothing but things to her, but I'll have to work with there being lots of obstacles, lots of battles to fight before we can even think of invading Planeptune, I sigh as there is so much to do but at least it will make it more satisfying to finally punish Neptune for what she has done.
It's not long at all before the missiles have all been used up and have done their work at which point I get Stealth to lure them to us, in hopes that we can slow them down, but although it is alarming to find that there are still enemy grunts alive albeit only a few of them left now, at least the enemy bosses are wounded a good amount, but the question is with the missiles that have been launched at them, throwing them into the air, would the impact hinder their ability to move quickly?
I hope so because that is all we have, to slow them down so that we can use range to shoot them down, but even then I notice in the distance with my visions that Tadakatsu is well armoured, Mitsunari's FAL has a good range, while Okuni has a shield even though that will probably slow her down, and Ina has her bow and arrow which I am certain has the ability to fire arrows that can home in and have explosives on them, meaning the moment she fires her arrow, we're done for.
I realise that it's best that while Stealth lures them, he's better off moving to a different location which is closer to us, so that we can pick them off one at a time, and I'm hoping that Stealth can distract Okuni, so that if he has the speed he can outflank her but if not, I could try and take her down, I'm also hoping that Ina will be distracted because I'm hoping that her bow and arrow will require having to lock on and if Stealth can move around then getting a lock on will be difficult, but then she may just switch to another weapon, in which I hope that Stealth can just take the weapon off of her, and then flee and use it against them, like I've done.
There's a lot to be concerned with though, not least with the enemy troops who I shoot with my sniper rifle, though frustratingly for me, it takes far too much time for my liking to wipe them all out, but at least with Stealth bravely taking shots at Okuni and Ina, whom I've just ordered him via mind talk to attack, for now at least there is just Tadakastu, Ginchiyo and Mitsunari to deal with, all of whom don't have weapons that can match my sniper rifle in range.
Yes I think I have a plan to deal with them, snipe the latter two so that they are much, much slower and when they get within range, White can mow them down with the Gatling gun and hopefully then the trees falling will hinder them, and we can finish them off, and then it will be Okuni and Ina left to deal with.
Of course I have a feeling that although this is stressful enough, I fear that this will be the calm before the storm, as they are sure to respond to my strategy, but what will it be? Whatever it is, it is sure to potentially put my strategy in disaster and inflict even greater costs which I fear will be far too much considering the circumstances right now, but I have no choice but to do our best as I do my best to begin attacking them with my sniping rifle, as I hide behind a tree stump while White has the Gatling gun and waits before they're within range to use it.
I shoot at Mitsunari first, and I do so because his weapon has more range, and is rushing closer than the others, I shoot at him in the upper legs repeatedly as that's where he isn't wearing armour, in an attempt to shoot him down, or more realistically to slow him down and to wound him which hopefully will help in making a difference between victory and defeat.
"Hmph you really think shooting me in the leg will help, then again I should really stop expecting so much." Mitsunari remarks, clearly not impressed.
Urgh his remarks remind me of why I find him so irritating and annoying, though it's interesting how he doesn't seem to understand the reason for me shooting him in the legs, as opposed to just shooting him in the chest or head, or maybe he does but he either doesn't think my plan will work, or he could be pretending not to be aware, well I know he's a strategist, but I like to think of myself as one myself, as I have used strategy and that has led myself and my allies to victory before, and I'm confident it will this time.
Just as I was about to reload which doesn't take long at all thanks to the perk a colas, and my arms not being severely injured, it is then I notice Ginchiyo deciding to turn left and run for a bit. Uh oh, she could perhaps choose to run away and just get the war against Team Rocket to be official, by putting her pride of what I remember to be the Tachibana on the line, though more realistically misplaced pride in Planeptune, or she could flank us as she may suspect that we have something up our sleeve which we do, I hope it's just gut feeling rather than somehow she knows we have a Gatling gun, but then again because of how exhausted White is, she's forced to leave it lying next to a tree, while she's hidden away from the tree so that she can simply rush to it and use it.
Hmmm, but if she has seen it why not tell her friends, or is it that they are happy to create a diversion here, knowing that their health can take the shots, and they can just move around and return fire, knowing that the Tachibana female warrior will flank us and get us that way, but I wonder if they know I've seen her, but whatever the case may be, I cannot allow her the chance of flanking my ally, but even though I need to do this, I am deeply concerned.
I am deeply concerned because of the simple fact that although I've had a sniper duel before, that in itself was tough with me not having as much health and having to face 2 enemies, and though it's 1 enemy this time around, I have even less health and less mobility to the point where it matches hers.
All I have is the advantage of range though even then it's not much as while I have a sniper rifle, she has an assault rifle whose range isn't that much less than mine, still at least I have a strategy of taking her down, but it's going to be ever so stressful with the amount of times that I have to shoot her which is lots, in contrast to the amount of times she has to shoot me, once, this indeed will be ever so difficult.
Note: Readers please listen to Call of Duty World at War Showdown while reading this:
I try and rush as fast I can through the trees, though because of the aches and pains in my legs, running quickly is ever so difficult, as it becomes too much for me, but at least I manage to make some distance, and instead I choose to use my visions to see her through the trees, only to find that I need to wait before I have a clear view of her in which she's not obstructed by any trees at all, or else she'll be suspicious. It is then that I aim at her leg because I know like with Mitsunari, I need to slow her down, so that it will be easier for me to keep my range.
The thing is I become quite concerned that Ginchiyo is completely covered in armour, apart from her head, and I wonder whether her armour will negate the bullets fired at her, but then again I have the Barrett 50 Cal which can penetrate armour, but it is then I wonder that despite its appearance, how strong is her armour? Well that might be like answering the age old physics question what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, but then again there's no such thing as an unstoppable force or an immovable object, it all depends on how strong the force is, and how easy it is to move the object.
Still, even with her armour I have no choice but to shoot at her legs, in hopes that if I can shoot her legs enough times, I can slow her down, at least the reloading of this weapon will not take long, even in the bad state I'm in.
I then fire as quickly as I can, but although I have fired a good amount of bullets, they don't seem to do as much damage as I would like, in fact I've managed to fire an entire clip into her and yet it's the equivalent of her feeling it but not even being hurt by it, judging by her body language. Well at least I can make her feel her shots, but I know I need to do a lot more than that if I am to stand a chance against her, I sigh at this, as now she'll be aware of me and that will be even more difficult even though I knew this would happen.
"Ah someone who would dare challenge the Tachibana clan, I am Ginchiyo lord and lady of the Tachibana, underestimate me and you shall regret it, perhaps you should stand down, or you will meet an end more vicious than you could ever imagine." The tsundere in armour says to me.
"Really, from what I know it's more like if we stand down, we'll meet a more vicious end than we could ever imagine, you don't scare me and how can you be so proud of your clan, when as its leader, you have sunk so low that you'd be willing to serve Neptune and her sadists." I think to her in response.
I would say something but that would give my position away and that I do not wish, and it is at this point, she hid by a tree as she tries and looks for me, but in response, I go prone and crawl to another position, knowing full well that it will take time before I can get there as I try my best to move, despite the pain as well as to conceal my movement, and in the meantime I keep my eye on her with my visions, so that I can attack her again.
I decide to wait before she then rushes away, but then I realise that I shouldn't be doing this, not with the fact that my allies are heavily outnumbered and will fall at any moment. The problem is though is that if I attack her where she is, she may suspect I have visions and could potentially suspect that I am related to Noire or Blanc, since only a few people have these visions to see through materials or through darkness or smoke, the thing is if I just shoot through trees to make it look as though I'm unsure, she'll know where I am, and if I just head towards her, in an attempt to ambush her, well it'll be just too risky for me to do.
I sigh at this situation but then she peers a bit from cover, in hopes of finding me, and it is then that I'd be able to shoot her without the use of my visions, and I fire as many bullets as I dared before taking cover, and moving around while she tries to rush towards me and return fire, in hopes that I don't get found and then shot by her.
Annoyingly I have not been able to shoot her enough times to slow her down significantly enough, so that I can have a chance in defeating her with speed, and what's worse is that I've now learned from Uni that White has fallen, although she has managed to cause damage to both of them and Mitsunari has been significantly wounded. This is proving to be disastrous and no doubt perhaps one of them or even both of them will come to me, and this will prove to be quite the challenge yet.
I only hope that even if White hasn't managed to kill them, if she's at least managed to wound them significantly enough such that it's rather difficult for them to move quickly, hopefully it will take time before they can assist their allies, hmmm. Yet the tension gets to me because with regards this situation I'm finding myself having to wait for the Tachibana foe to make her move, because of how low my health is, and my desire to shoot at her without her being able to return fire. I'll just have to see where she goes, in her search for me, but I do worry that my strategy of slowing her down, isn't working all that well, but I need to keep it up for she has far too much health for me to just shoot her down with one clip.
"You can't hide from the Tachibana; you are better off fighting them." She yells out, as she heads to my former position, while I do my best to hide, as I find myself dangerously close to where she is.
I feel like I'm at checkmate here, because time is not on my side with Stealth potentially dying at any moment, and it'll just be myself against all 5 of them, and most of them have a lot of health, even Mitsunari alone I am unsure if I can defeat, but I know that close quarter combat is out of the question, because I do not know if I have the strength to take her down. Oh I hate this, but I cannot and refuse to give up not when the fate of Lastation is on the line.
It is then that she moves towards me, perhaps her gut telling me that that's where I am, though the thing is that with her rifle in hand, she approaches a tree and then shoots around the corner a few times, perhaps just so she feels that she can get the jump on me, and to kill me before I even seen her, but I'm thankful for this because she's inadvertently turned her back towards me, giving me a window of opportunity to wound her so more, in which it may not be much, but every little will help, and even if it may not be easy in avoiding getting shot afterwards, what other opportunity would I be able to have, in doing damage to her?
I aim and fire at her legs again, hoping that it's enough to get her to slow down significantly, annoyingly I don't feel that I can fire many shots and so I then move away as quickly as possible and hide, before she fires another few bursts at where I was as well as through the tree I was hiding. In fact I find myself thinking it's best to find another place to hide and again, as I worry that she knows where I am, and is therefore trying to shoot me down, I do this a few times as she tries hard to shoot me down, as a few bursts have almost got me, which I find alarming because my health is that low, that even a single burst is enough to take me down.
At least thanks to me hearing the number of times she's fired a shot and knowing how many bullets she's got in her gun, I know that she'll have to reload now, and that is when I open fire on her wounds as she struggles to reload, and for the first time I hear her yell in pain, even if it's not a particularly loud scream, this is progress as it means that she won't be able to move as quickly as she did, and I could potentially outrun her now, but I still need to be careful because she could still kill me and so after firing a clip I just quickly move away and hide to another place.
She fires a few more bullets, but then after that as I keep going to another hiding place as quickly as I can as I'm in pain, she no longer fires her gun. My gut tells me is that she intends to instead find me, and to shoot me when she does, hmmmm, I can only hope that I can see her coming and then take her weapon off her, and use it against her, though I do worry that this will be risky.
I just hope she'll switch to the shotgun, I would have thought so, I mean it's close range, and if she does, I can use the gun and blow her away and shoot her in the legs and then I can just out run her and hopefully shoot her down, I hope this doesn't take too long because I know that Mitsunari will be on his way, and it can't be long before Stealth will fall which could potentially lead to a 1 on 5 fight, which will be disastrous to say the least.
Interestingly enough, I daren't look around to see and I just crouch with my back to the tree, trying to ensure that I can't be seen but I can get up quickly and grab the enemy weapon, though it won't be easy due to my pain, as it's a struggle to conceal my aches. This is quite tense because where will she come to my left or to my right, but at least she knows roughly where I am and so this knowledge can lead her to me and hopefully I'll be ready.
For me though this waiting is getting to me, not least because of the fighting and how I'm wanting to pounce on the enemy, rather than being pounced myself, but I must stay calm, if I am to take the chance, then I like to think that this will be a turning point in this fight, and will ensure that I can defeat her rather than bleed and retreat, and I like to think that Mitsunari as well as the other enemies will not be so tough, I hope.
I just hope I can get the gun off of her because although I am strong thanks to the perk a colas, I ache and though she does as well, it's nowhere near the amount I have, but I've got to do it, I just hope my hands being where it would be compared to where her hands would be with regards holding the gun will help. It is then that I see her gun about to turn, and I quickly grab the end with both my hands and pull it out of her grip before getting up and quickly getting the weapon in my hands and shooting her once, I send her to the ground.
"Hah, you have no honour resorting to such tricks, but it will not defeat the might of the Tachibana." The so called lady of the Tachibana says in a sarcastic and aggressive tone, as she finds herself landing on the floor.
"Says the person who will work for Team Rocket." I reply back to her, in hopes of annoying her more.
After all this tension and soon after the quick series of actions, I then start running away, looking for a place to hide, and then keep doing it until I feel I'm away from her other weapon. I would have liked to have pinned her, but the annoying problem is that she barely managed to equip her assault rifle, nuts and unless she may be put off her strategy due to this recent experience, she could stick to using her assault rifle to chase me down, but then again could I out run her now, considering how wounded she is, or have I got a lot more to go?
The thing is it is perfectly clear that she is in pain, considering her body language and her grunting, but even so she is still more than willing to move, at least all I have to do even if I cannot let my guard down is to simply let her waste her ammo, while rushing away and to then bleed her as best as I can where it should be harder for her to fight, and easier for me to defeat her like before, or just simply ambush her and take her out that way, again like I just did.
The tragic thing is though, all of this will take time no matter what method I choose, if I'm honest I'm surprised that arrogant strategist Mitsunari hasn't arrived yet, though maybe he will soon, even if he's seriously crippled there's only so much time that his injuries will delay him.
I realise that it's best if I can make space, but if I do would I be able to run faster than him because I'm severely injured myself. I sigh at this situation as I wonder what will be quicker of the two even if they will take time, maybe ambushing will be better because then once I can do it, it shouldn't take long to take her down, and even if there is the matter of finding her and ambushing her, it may not take as long as I fear, I hope I can find her and ambush her quickly, it needs to be or else I'll be done for.
Of course I realise that will I be able to lure her because that's what I need if I am to ambush her and therefore kill her, and since this has happened to her before just, will she try a different tactic and avoid trying to get close to me, especially since she only has her assault rifle now. Then again I could just sneak up on her and take her down that way, hmmmm. Yes it will be risky because of having to ensure I don't get spotted since that will lead to me getting shot, but I like to think she won't think that I will sneak up on her, not if I'm that far away, though I will admit it's quite nerve wracking due to the distance I'll have to travel, considering it'll be sneaking and that takes time.
Just so I can reassure myself, I then look at the distance between myself and her, as I've hidden in a place where she wouldn't find me, as she fired a few shots around different places as if to make sure that I have fallen. I wonder what she'll do though now, since I'm sure she'd like to make sure that I'm dead, but I know that she daren't move towards me like before because of what happened that time. Perhaps she may not choose to pursue me, as she knows that I have to defeat her for the Loweean resistance, as no doubt she's aware how they will not give up in their resistance.
Hmmm, does she even know roughly where I am, or does she feel that she has lost me, and will perhaps simply do her mission; maybe she thinks she's got me. Nope instead she moves towards where she thinks I am, which is roughly where I am, slowly as possible with her gun ready as she looks around, happy in the knowledge that if I am to run she'll hear me, and will be able to track me down.
I wonder if I can sneak up on her as she moves towards my position, I have my shotgun in hand ready to fire if need be, as I move slowly but surely around the trees, to meet her, in hopes I can get behind her and surprise her. Come on Black, you can do it, you can defeat this disgrace to Tachibana, yes you can defeat her and be ready for the others, who annoyingly I've heard from Uni that Stealth has now fallen, though interestingly enough all of his attackers are now coming for me as opposed to making a break for it, perhaps they would like to ensure that we're all defeated, and it is their desire to finish us off for good, perhaps maybe even ensure there is as large a force as possible. Oh dear, all 5 of them against me, what difficult odds.
It is now when Ginchiyo notices me as I crawl towards her, but before she can turn I fire my shotgun and knock her over, though I waste no time in moving to a position where I can hide, as I know she'll be doing her best to fire shot after shot at me, until she knows that I have been hit, in fact I find myself having to move again and look for another place to hide, and then to do these two actions over and over again as she fires even more shots, while I'm hoping that I'll be close by when she has to reload and then I can shoot her with the shotgun again, and this time I'll be able to get that weapon off of her, and then I can finally kill her.
Come on before the enemy gets here who I've now learned from Uni that while the others will be a fairly short while due to the distance that Stealth has managed to divert them from, though it probably won't be long, it won't be long before the arrogant strategist Mitsunari finds me here, I don't think I can deal with them both at once, and yet me having to face four of them if not five of them if I'm not careful is far from ideal to say the very least.
After what felt like a long time of running, as I then count the amount of times she fires her gun so I know when she'll have to reload, she reaches the appropriate number and as she has to reload, I then fire with my shotgun to knock her down. Unfortunately I find that she's too far away as although I can knock her over, it'll be quite a distance for me to get to, with the condition I'm in, but when will I be able to find an opportunity, it will be ever so difficult.
I'll just have to rush as quickly as possible, while firing at her in an attempt to slow her down as she tries to reload her weapon, come on body of mine don't ache now, I know you're in pain but you'll have to wait for if you ache me now, Lastation will fall with me.
"You won't trick me this time, enemy of the Tachibana." She says to me with a frown.
I fire shot after shot after shot at her, as I try and run to her, even though the pain makes it incredibly difficult, unfortunately even if the shot causes her to flinch as she's tries to reload, she's almost there, which is what I dread as I know all too well, that she only has to fire one shot and then I'm dead, there's nothing for it but to dive, as that would be quicker than running, but it is incredibly risky. Well, I have no choice in the matter, at least I have a couple of shots left, and if I can aim it at the appropriate place, then that could make the difference between me being killed, and me having the chance of getting her weapon off of her.
Although she has got the new clip in her gun, she has to cock it so she can fire her weapon, and as she was about to do so, I shoot her hand as many times as possible, in hopes I can stop her from finishing off her reload, unfortunately though it doesn't stop her, but before she's about to fire, I manage to with my right hand grab the barrel and lift it up so it misses as I knock her on the ground, while I holster the shotgun with my other hand, so that then I can grab the barrel with my other hand as well, and then it becomes a struggle between the two of us, as not only do I try and take the weapon off of her, there is the matter of ensuring that the gun is never facing me and fired at me as well.
"Hmph resorting to thievery again are you? You will not succeed, prepare yourself." The tsundere Tachibana says to me disgusted.
"Says the woman who is part of a group that intends to rob people of their wealth, their freedom, and their happiness, and it's you that won't succeed." I say to her in response.
She grips it hard but so do I as we both try and get up as quickly as possible, so that we can get the weapon off the other, though this is taking quite a long time, far too long for time is on her side, urgh this is a stalemate with regards pulling it's a struggle and to get up quicker it's a struggle too, hmm I realise that I should try and step on her wound, that way I can distract her and get the weapon off her, and so despite the pain I'm in, I manage to roll on to her belly just before she's able to sit up, which causes her to yell in pain and for her to loosen her grip, enabling me to get the rifle off of her before I then roll off of her, causing her pain as I roll on the wounds of her legs.
Although she sits up and tries to massage her aches, it is at this point where I manage to as quickly as I can, get the gun into my hands, and aim and shoot at her, but I only manage a couple of shots in her head, before she then gets up and tries to charge towards me. I switch to my shotgun and reload a bullet and I manage to shoot her just in time, before she kicked me or hit me or grappled me, in which my gut tells me even a simple few hits from her fists or feet could finish me off, as my body can't take it anymore, and I'll be in too much pain to resist her in her attempt to finish her off, as already I've been shot loads of times as it is, and my health is ever so critical to say the least.
I reload my gun more so that I can shoot her down and perhaps kill her with this weapon, but I realise that it will take a long time to kill her with this gun and that's if I had enough bullets which unfortunately I don't, I'll need to get up though it will take a while, due to the pain that I have, but slowly but surely I manage to get up and in the mean time I fire at her every time she comes towards me. I wonder why she keeps doing this or is it to buy time, as running away I could just snipe her down.
I finally manage to get up though during that time she got up a few times, and each time she got up I shot her down. I realise that I need to get her pinned down, and to cripple her legs so that she cannot move, but it won't be easy, to do this, she still has the determination to not let her injuries get to her, this is concerning me because all the time that's passed and she's not even close to dying, just being wounded. I will still defeat her though no matter what it takes, I should be glad that at least she's failed to hurt me, though it will only be a matter of time before she does, no I've survived this long, and I'll survive longer.
I then shoot her with the shotgun again, though this time I shoot at her legs to knock on her front, as I switch to my sniper in hopes that I can shoot her head a few times, the thing is she keeps her arms close to her, and she rolls around to make it difficult for me to shoot her head, I knew it, and it will take far too long for me to snipe her down with how she is, as I realised earlier getting her legs crippled and her pinned down is the only way, and I'll have to cripple her legs by means of hand to hand combat and grappling her into submission, although it won't be easy as I do not have much health or strength in fact I rejected this idea earlier, and no doubt she's probably more agile than me, and I have no doubt that like myself she is trained in martial arts as she's a warrior.
I can only hope that I can do this quick, it is then I realise that it's best if I can shoot her and send her to the floor, and then if I'm quick enough I can pin her down and defeat her that way, the big thing being if I'm quick enough, as I'm constantly reminded of how slow I am due to my pain.
After shooting her again, and knocking on her back, I rush towards her while reloading my gun, firing at her every time I see her get up, in fact I do a forward jump towards her while shooting her again this time at her legs, so I can get her to fall on her back, but I quickly step on her lower leg before sitting down, holstering my weapon and then grabbing her leg which interestingly enough she tries to kick me with, I pull it towards me and place it next to her other leg and sit on the both of them, causing her to yell in pain.
"Even if you defeat me the rest of the Tachibana will avenge my death." The female warrior grunts.
"Oh no they won't they will either join me or fall with you." I say to her in response.
Yes she's completely helpless, or at least I like to think so as she's struggling by trying to reach with her arms which I'm too far away, and she's trying to shake her legs in which I worry she could have me lose my hold on her legs, I'll have to be quick though, Uni's informed me that Mitsunari will be here any minute, and in fact she's coming my way.
At least Lastation's best CPU Candidate will inform me when I can snipe him, and with luck, I'll be able to snipe him in the head, at least I hope because head shots are tricky, though ideally I'd like to be able to deal with Ginchiyo first, who has been far too stubborn in this fight, and I'm concerned it could potentially be a contributing factor as to whether I survive or die, as it all rides on me to fight this good fight for the fate of the free world, and our nation who's our only hope. I must not think like this, my enemy will be defeated, she's only postponing the inevitable, and I am showing sheer determination not to fall to her or to let her harm me.
I then with my sniper rifle aim and open fire, and try to do this as quickly as possible, firing bullet after bullet into her head, until I need to reload and then reload and fire some more. I manage to get a good amount of bullets fired, as she yells in pain, and her yells get louder, as her head has more and more holes of blood oozing out, but despite this, I am informed that Mitsunari has arrived, and is going as quickly as he can although because of his wounds in which there are plenty of blood oozing out, he's not moving in a straight line, making it difficult to shoot him in the head, what's worse is that he has in his hands his FAL rifle, and it won't be long before that's within range of me and he can wipe me out.
Nuts and there's also Ginchiyo who could trip me up and kill me. This concerns me as I wonder how to respond to this, and it's not just the two enemies that concern me, it's the three extra enemies as well, who will arrive soon, I fear that this will become a 5 on 1 match considering the circumstances. It is ever so tragic that it's just me left now, and though my allies have done their best in holding them off, and in bleeding them, they still have way too much health.
Still would them running and me having to catch up to them be better for me, as they are quicker, then again I know they wish to either attack Lastation with as strong a force as possible or to finish me off to ensure there are no survivors who can stop them from taking Lastation.
That said, this is what I've been dreading for all this time, having to face 5 bosses at extremely low health full of aches and pains, and yet I'm all that's left standing between them and Lastation which will result in our doom. I fear this is our toughest yet, and I was hoping that I could take out Ginchiyo and Mitsunari, so it would be 3 on 1, but from the looks of things it isn't to be, just as it isn't to be that I'll defeat all 5 in this chapter, but I am not finished yet though, I will find a way to defeat them, they can be full health for all I care, but that will not stop me from using a strategy to defeat the enemy, as well as making full use of the weapons I have.
Yes I'll just have to consider the strengths and the weaknesses of the bosses, along with what weaponry they have and how to adjust accordingly, that's have I've always done it, and it has not let me down, not ever.
Any enemy here that wishes to attack Lastation will have to get through me, and they will die trying to get through me. Do not worry Noire, Uni, Blanc, Rom, Ram and all my friends who have fallen here, I will stop them, that is a promise, and I will always, always keep my promise, I will show them why Lastation does everything, and this includes defeating them, and I won't lose to them because I am strong, wise, organised, hardworking but also nice and above all future proof.
I will teach them discipline Lastation style, and this will be proof that I will show Neptune the justice she deserves for what she has done, it doesn't matter what you throw at me, what enemies I have to defeat, what bosses you throw at me, the challenges, the nightmares, or the chapters it takes, I will defeat you, I will avenge what you've done to my allies, and you'll wish that you have the same ethics and morals that we have, we all have, we gamers and CPUs.
