The CPUs are at each other's throats, but not in Celestia but in Gameinudstri. This is not done from Neptune's perspective or any CPU for that matter. A male arrives in Gamindsutri who appears to be from somewhere else. All is not as it seems as this is not from the Neptunia universe but a general gaming universe. This is a fanfic unlike any other. Rated M for violence.

Chapter 139: Dying to get out of here

Before the chapter I would like to thank ShayGuy for putting this fanfic into the Longest stories community. Hopefully as a result it will attract new fans to this fanfic, and I thank you for all your support and it's amazing to see how many fans I have already. I am also pleased that this fanfic has over 800,000 words and it's only a matter of time before it exceeds 1 million. I also wish to announce that I am editing some of my chapters, to hopefully improve it and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much guys. Furthermore songoku2006 is writing a fanfic called Visiting Successors, which is a what if fanfic concerning the dimensions of his version of the characters meeting the series version, which I highly recommend and is a good book.

I am still in this nightmare of mine in a building which must be the HQ of Cody Gears, who I've just killed in a duel to the death, in which we fought with words and along with our swords. I am trying my very best to fight my way out of this building so that we can continue the fight against Neptune and her nutty plans of domination. The trouble is, is that it is a struggle with every time I manage to get a group of allies, they eventually fall to the enemy. Worse now, the enemy fast approaches to me and I worry that they could kill me soon enough. Not only that but I am getting more exhausted and my aches from the duel are taking its toll on me.

I try and think about what to do, realising I need to think as to whether I've seen anything earlier that could be of use in any of the rooms I've been in. As a result of this, I quickly realise that there are weapons here with fresh clips which will do just fine. I still need to find such a weapon and to get it in my hands, but this I am successful in doing, and just in time as the enemy enters, only for me to mow him down quickly. What a relief to have thought of that just in time, why didn't I think of that earlier? I guess it's due to tension and fighting the enemy that makes it harder to remember especially in the condition that I am in. I cannot afford to do something like that again, for would I be that lucky again considering it's a nightmare I'm in?

I realise that I need to switch to another weapon in case there's another enemy nearby who will be coming in shortly. There isn't another enemy thank goodness, and so with the weapon nearby, I reload my machine gun as quickly as I could. With the weapon ready, I am ready and therefore I peek outside the room to see if there's anyone there, but there isn't which is strange. It's weird how tense I feel that any wrong move could kill me quickly, considering how long I've been in this stage fighting through, though that's because of being caught off guard and being on my own numerous times.

Nevertheless I carry on creeping forwards while scanning the area to see if there's any enemies coming in, hoping at least I have the element of surprise and that by taking it slowly for now, I can recharge somewhat. I don't see any enemies, but bizarrely enough I hear banging on the door with cries for help in my language, telling me that there are Britannians there, only for there to be gunfire making me assume the worst. Considering this I have no idea why my fallen allies did that, but perhaps it could be to warn me since they heard the fighting earlier. I hope they haven't died but at least their deaths were not in vain, as I intend to avenge them and thank them for not just informing me of their presence, but that of the enemy as well.

The thing is while I know from the gunfire, that there is one enemy with a machine gun, my gut tells me is that there's more of them. Hopefully not too many, or at least I can take them down without too much difficulty. Despite my energy being low, struggling to conceal my pain, I rush as quickly as I could towards the corner, before peeking around and opening fire at the gunner, in which along with him there was another gunner and 3 heavily armed samurai. I quickly kill the two gunners who were close together before engaging the samurai who stood guard at each of the 3 doors, in which the Britannian prisoners must have been there. I shoot them one at a time but before even killing one of them I run out of bullets and have to reload.

This alarms me greatly due to how fast they move considering their armour. I can only reload my gun as fast as I can even if I'm exhausted, and if they get too close, then I would have to run and get those other weapons and hope for the best. This too I find too close for comfort as, as soon as I've reloaded my weapon do I then find the samurai within enough distance to strike me down. It's only through pulling the trigger and going for the closest one does he fall after a few shots, just barely before his sword was able to connect with my body which would have resorted to my death. I then fire a magazine at the second samurai and though he falls, I then need to reload again.

I find myself yet again how close that was, perhaps even closer than the last time to dying and ultimately failing. No doubt my deteriorating condition is not helping in this matter. Because of the distance he is to me compared to the last time, I haven't got time to reload but with me being without armour, I can run faster even at the state I'm in, and this time remember I had a couple of guns in a room, hopefully that will be enough to defeat him. And so with this in mind, I rush as quickly as I can to that room, pick up the Type 100, and wait for him to come which isn't long before I opened fire ensuring every bullet hits him.

Annoyingly this is not enough and he moves despite serious bullet wounds closer and closer towards me. I quickly remember that I had another gun which I open fire with finishing the enemy off, causing me to breathe a huge sigh of relief. As quickly as I could I reload the sub machine gun, before doing the same to the other before, then doing it with the light machine gun. As carefully and as quickly as I can, I look to see if there are any enemies, but I see and hear nothing.

I look around the corner to see if any enemy reinforcements have come to reinforce their position since the battle, but nothing. The doors must be locked but where to find the key. My gut tells me that the gunner has them and so I search his clothing. As luck would I have it I find them, and quickly too without too much effort, careful to ensure I listen out for enemy troop movement coming while I looked for them.

While looking and listening out for them, I try each key on the first of the three doors, and thankfully it opens without incident. I keep thinking how suspicious I am with this, it's way too quiet, why is there no enemies here despite me opening doors and walking about, they must know I'm here. No doubt they're waiting to ambush me at the right moment.

It's interesting how I should think that as then, as I enter the room to greet Britannians who appreciate my presence in which there's a few of the allies there, I hear enemy soldiers approach. A trap, just as I thought, and from the sounds of the footsteps a significant number of them. This is not good as it's me and 3 unarmed Britannians versus perhaps a dozen of armed enemies. Ah well I can only do the best I can, hopefully keep them pinned while my allies can arm themselves and even up the odds, and this time my allies will last long enough for me to get out of here.

I peek out and fire my gun, killing the enemies there in which there's a few archers, providing what must be a brief breathing space, for my allies to make a break for it and to arm themselves to deal with the enemy here. I fire a few rounds to keep the enemy hidden, as my ally is almost there to a weapon nearby that he can pick up and use against them, hopefully to great effect.

I thought for a moment that my ally would get shot just before he would get to have the weapon in hand, but instead he survives with it, so far so good. This is encouraging, and so the next ally comes and picks up a weapon. Interestingly enough another enemy archers pops out who gets dispatched, but it is then that what must be the remaining enemies, pop out, and just at a time where I was reloading my weapon, I knew something like that would happen. My ally who is armed with a machine gun manages to mow down four enemies armed with sub machine guns but in the process he got killed, worse is that there a few enemies who from their cartwheeling are deadly ninjas, and they have also killed the ally on his way to his weapon. This is getting really bad.

Once again I am panicking due to the difficult position that I'm in as once again, significant numbers of enemies are here attacking us, and not only that but I really feel cornered. In fact like before I don't feel I have decent amount of ammunition in my clip to defeat them, without having to reload which takes time, time I don't have considering their agility. If anything, it's worse as I have nowhere to retreat to and get other weapons to use against them. I am struggling to think what to do as I spray and pray at them as they approach, which doesn't seem to diminish their ability to cart wheel towards us one bit.

I quickly realise that we can use the door to keep them at bay, in which I can lock the door and through the key hole take the enemy out, and they won't be able to get in. With this in mind I close the door as quickly as I could, with the help of my ally before locking it, while my ally helps to keep it secure, only for me to reload my gun asap. With it being reloaded I look through the keyhole to see where the ninjas are, as they have stopped moving towards here and I have no doubt that they are waiting outside for us. In fact they taunt us, thinking that we're trapped, but it is then that after noticing that one of them is standing directly in front, I open fire a few shots knowing he'll dodge afterwards.

After which I look inside the room which looks similar to the other rooms for anything that we can use to help me think of a strategy. Annoyingly there's nothing, but I have an idea. I whisper to my ally's ear my plan with much hope that it will work, considering how this is all we've got. I give my ally the key for him to use on my signal. My plan is to be that he opens the door briefly, I fire some shots which will hopefully kill one of them, he then shuts the door ideally before they can burst through which won't be easy to say the least.

Here goes, my ally unlocks and opens the door, I fire for a couple of seconds, taking one of them down before ordering my ally to lock the door while I rush to help, but then it becomes a real struggle as we try and hold the door in place so it's shut while I desperately lock it as quickly as I can which is hard due to me panicking to get the door locked. In fact any second later and they would have gotten through which is such a relief especially considering the pain that I have right now, along with the fatigue that I have which is only been kept at bay thanks to me standing still, even if I'm having to concentrate. It's pretty scary stuff but at least it's 3 vs 2 now, or rathe since my ally isn't armed, yet.

The thing is, I notice that the ninjas resort to trying to barge through the door even if it's locked as I try and think of what to do in response as I reload my weapon, realising that they'll barge through if I try my tactic again. I try and think, and while at first it isn't easy considering the stressful situation that we're in, I have a brainwave, remembering how the enemy with the LMG used his weapon on the door to kill the innocent Britannians in the rooms. I can shoot the door, but then I realise that my ammunition only consists of about four clips with one of them already in the gun. Hmmm. There's gotta be a solution, but how, think Black think. I have to think even if I'm getting more and more to the point where I'm just too tired to think.

I notice how the trio are trying to barge through the door despite it being locked, and while I like to think that the door will hold against them, I don't want to bet on it. And so through the keyhole, I shoot at one of the enemies trying to push through, and his cries of dying confirm to me that I got one of them. Excellent this is going relatively well, and I reload my gun again so that I am ready for combat once again as soon as possible.

The thing is I notice that just as I adapt to their strategy, they adapt to mine, and they realise that while taking me down will be a challenge for them, they can make it harder for me to win. They talk to one another in their language, and while I may not know due to the amnesia what the language is. Strangely enough I have heard their words before, in fact I actually know exactly what they're saying. They underestimate me though as I know that their intention is to stand guard while the other gets a key from one of the dead guards, enter one of the rooms with them, and wipe out an entire group of Britannians, this does not look good, but at least with luck I can take the pair of them out separately, which will be a lot easier.

Here goes, I know that the enemy will wait for me but I have no choice. I have to engage and take him down before his partner can kill my fellow Britannians. I get my ally to open the door while I hide by the door, poking my arms out so that I can fire the machine gun hoping that I will get him. During this session of spraying and praying, I distinctly hear the sound of a ninja star being shot down, and I peek out to see him quickly throw one which encourages me to shoot in response, and with enough bullets he goes down soon enough.

But then I am forced to hide as quickly as I could considering my exhaustion, as I run out of ammunition, and can only hope that I can reload quickly enough, and catch the final ninja and kill him before he kills my allies. I peek out while reloading to see that he's rushing to the door and yet I am about halfway through my reloading process when he's already unlocking the door. Oh no, think Black think. Then I'm thankful, as I quickly realise what I need to do.

I call my fellow Britannians to block the door, and though it attracts his attention and he throws some stars at me, I just take cover and finish off my reloading before I then open fire on him, killing him. At last I got them all and once again, I survive an encounter of what I suspected was overwhelming odds, with it being pretty close and could have easily have gone the other way. With all the commotion I fear there will be more enemies coming in to take us out, and I'm concerned with how little ammunition I have left now, and how I really need to change my gun. Not to mention how much longer can I cope with the fatigue and pain, I cannot let it beat me, I have to keep going.

Considering how I currently have a window of opportunity, I might as well make the most of it, as I stand guard while my ally gets a gun, before he then comes back such that I can then unlock the remaining doors, and he stands guard while my allies get their weapons and then I can change mine. It'll be time consuming but we have no other choice if we are to survive this conflict, a conflict in which there's only about a handful of us compared to what must be dozens of them in this very building. At least hopefully I can rest a bit and recharge my batteries so that I cope better with my current ailments.

And so it begins, the tension, the expectation of the enemy to ambush us while we are nowhere near ready to defeat the enemy. I watch as my ally goes over to pick up the gun, nothing. I watch as my ally retreat back now armed, nothing. I unlock one of the doors, nothing. I unlock the other door, nothing. We watch as an ally go to pick up a weapon, nothing and it's the same for the next one and the one after that. In fact even when it was my turn to get an SMG back where I fled the Ninjas there was nothing. We're all fully armed and I'm baffled as to why have they not come in and engaged us. I get the feeling that they intend to ambush us, just as they have a tendency of doing when there's relatively large numbers of us.

In fact, it is just when we were about to move out when suddenly, about half a dozen soldiers with sub machine guns come out from the corner to try and take us down. We engage them and manage to defeat them but it is devastating. I say this because as a result of that ambush we have lost about half of our troops in that exchange. That's not good, and I should have known that this would happen just like it always happens to me. No doubt that's why they did it then since they realised that while we'd be armed we would be exposed to their guns. No, no, no.

I then motion for the troops to go prone and to aim their weapons at the corner, so that any enemy that pops out gets shot down. It's not long before a few enemy archers show up and try and take us down but before they can even fire an arrow at our way, with agility we shoot them down. Much better trade off there, hopefully we can have more of that and less loss of our forces, but we'll have to see, especially as I feel that there's still a significant amount more of them to go.

We choose to wait while reloading our weapons to see if any more come along only for there to be a couple of ninjas, oh great, come on do your worst ninjas. While we manage to get the first one taken out without difficulty, it's the second one as while he too would fall, it's not without him taking out two of my allies. Just what I was dreading and I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up being by myself again. I cannot give up though, and can only be pleased with how many enemies that have been taken out. But that's not enough, I need to fight my way out, get significant allied forces and then battle them to parliament and take out Neptune and quickly, before we ultimately lose all that we know and love.

The trouble is, I feel that we're taking too much time since again, we're waiting to see if anymore enemies then pop out, but this time after a short while there isn't anyone at all. Therefore I decide that with some cover from my ally, I decide to peek around the corner only to find 7 archers and 1 samurai nearby, but also some stairs leading to the ground floor. Hmmmm, could it be that we're close to the exit now, but would I be better off outside considering the amount of enemy forces in the area, even if they're engaging with allied ones? At least there'll be more cover so that I can rest a bit rather than rushing about.

I retreat back quickly and with a bit more energy since my relative rest, since I saw him charge towards me and with our automatic weapons, we manage to mow him down. Excellent, most excellent at least there are just a group of archers now, who shouldn't be too difficult, but then there is the issue of there being other soldiers, including the concern that there are soldiers who will attack us from behind, since while we have put a cabinet there, how long will we be able to hold them off? I can't be sure, but even if it does, what's to stop them from taking an alternative route, and support the troops already in the areas we reach.

I can only think about getting through, and being able to access the stairs where we can find the exit, via the ground floor, and worry about the problem when it happens, hopefully it wouldn't be too much of a problem anyway if the layout is ideal for us. I've done well so far, in fact I've defeated Cody despite the immense superior duelling skills he had, and how impregnable he appeared to be.

With this in mind I order my ally to peek around and for us to spray and pray from cover in hopes that we can defeat the archers as they try and fire their arrows, only for the enemy to get shot down which is most excellent. We quickly retreat again, my body getting significantly exhausted like a little before, as we then hear the distinct yell of banzai. This concerns me as while they'll be treating their weapons as make shift spears, how many of them are there to take on the two of us? I fear too many.

We can only do our best, and to take as many of them down as possible, and so with just reloading our mags, we move back and wait for them to come. When they do in fact come, we open fire doing our best to conserve ammunition, but there's so many of them and while we get rid of a large number of them, there's still more of them and we're out of ammunition. All we can do is to run and find somewhere to hide, while reloading our weapons, but doing so isn't easy especially in my conditions. In fact what alarms me is how some of the pursuers took out my ally as he screams in pain, leaving just me on my own.

It was only a matter of time before that happened again, but I cannot give up and be bothered by this, and I realise that I can just hide in one of the rooms like before, and take them down one by one. And so I quickly rush through before closing the door and locking it with fractions of a second to spare, made worse by my condition which is getting worse and worse. After this I hide, and reload my gun again as the pursuers then fire their rifles at the door hoping that they could shoot me. They don't and instead I just shoot at the door in different areas, wondering how many I shot with that tactic, if I did shoot any at all, only for me to reload again as quickly as possible.

Strangely enough, though I did suspect this, it's become silent as I wonder if they've moved away and stood guard, waiting for me to look. I figured as much and so I move to unlock the door before quickly dropping the key, putting the gun through the key hole and firing some shots before retreating back a few steps, knowing that they'll barge in through the door. In fact one of the enemy rifle men opens the door only for me to shoot quickly along with the other behind him, trying to cover him only for him to get shot too.

I then hide away so that I'm not in the line of sight of anyone who enters into the room initially, especially since the rest of them open the door completely and with the remaining bullets, I spray and pray the rest of the clip in my gun, before reloading as quickly as I can again. I then peek out as much as I dared while being as quiet as I can considering the pain I have, and there's no one outside the door. Did I get them all, or are they merely hiding from me?

There's only one way for me to find out the answer to that question. I move forward cautiously and look around concealing my pain and aches from my wounds to the best of my ability, I see and hear nothing. Interesting considering how apart from me there's no one on my side, and yet there's still significant numbers of enemies left, and I fear that they'll reinforce that position. In fact that's what they must have done as I hear distinctive cart wheeling, ninjas. Oh great they're not exactly easy to kill with their high health, manoeuvrability and their throwing stars. I cannot give up now, I must have gotten through a significant amount of them already.

I hide by the door and fire at them as soon as I see them, but due to there being two of them I am forced to hide, and instead without looking, just spray and pray the remaining bullets I have at them before reloading my weapon and hiding by the door. I knew their tactic would be to try and barge through the door, and so as they try to do so, I then lean out and spraying and praying against them until I run out of ammunition, and amazingly enough in the process, I shoot one of the stars that one of the enemy throws in my direction.

My gut tells me I have got one of them but I cannot be too careful, especially as I only have a couple of clips left, including one that I am about to reload into my weapon while retreating away. At least there are other weapons lying around outside, but I need to conserve ammunition against this ninja, and deal with him and pick up a new weapon as quickly as I can, and deal with the remaining enemies.

The ninja throws a couple of stars at the door, just after I moved away and was halfway through the reloading of my weapon. I move back and fire a few shots in response, just as he opens the door, in fact I fire as many shots as I can at him as he does cartwheels and throws stars which I manage to shoot down albeit barely. Annoyingly though, he's still alive after firing most of my bullets in the clip and I have only one clip left. I need to make every shot in that clip count. I quickly as I can considering my condition, hide back to the place such that a person entering into the room cannot see me directly at all, and reload once again as quickly as I could as he rushes towards me.

This is quite tense as he rushes closer and closer and it's only just that I manage to fire at him before he strikes me down with a claw, especially since, well you readers know my condition. Despite this, he still tries to swing at me but just before his claw touches me, I have fired enough bullets for him to go down. Woah that was close, way, way too close. I find myself breathing heavily relieved at how close that was, as now I struggle to keep going due to my exhaustion. With that in mind, it frightens me as to how much longer can my luck hold out against them.

I cannot afford to make any mistakes, and so with this in mind, I go over outside in the corridor and pick up the light machine gun that my fallen ally had, along with the clips he was carrying. Weirdly enough it is just then that a squad of spearmen and a samurai then come moving towards me. Seeing this I quickly reload my newly acquired weapon, and as accurately and as quickly as I can, I open fire against them, first at the spearmen as they're faster, only to find that after killing the majority of them, I need more ammunition and so I run despite my body begging me to stop, while doing each part of the reloading process, taking out the clip, putting a new one in, and then cocking the gun so that it's ready to fire again.

I then turn and fire again, only for it to be that once again, another close shave as any second slower and I would have been stabbed, and it's such a relief that the fire rate and deadliness of the weapon ensured I survived, even if my wounds and fatigue haven't. Now it's just the samurai who is pretty close, and so I fire every bullet remaining in my gun at him, and I'm thankful that is enough as by the time he was about to swing his sword which would have killed me for sure, he died after no longer being able to take my persistent firing at him.

Before reloading, I decide to retreat back and to do it there, as my gut tells me that there will be more enemies coming, who I get the feeling know my frustration of how it's just me, my ammunition which is on the decline, along with my luck and perhaps my declining energy levels and wellbeing. It's just as well I did that as I see outside 3 archers firing arrows, in which I manage to shoot down, and even manage to shoot and kill one of them, but not before needing to reload my weapon, and so I hid and did that before peeking a bit around, and taking out one archer at a time. After which I reloaded again and moved cautiously, as I wondered how many more there are since this is the last clip in my weapon now.

While at least there are rifles I can use, they're not very good for who I'm up against, and no doubt there'll be plenty more enemies where that come from. I get the feeling that with all of those enemies, I must be at a significant part of the building and who knows maybe the stairs lead to an entrance where I can get out. While there is the concern that it's wishful thinking, maybe that can keep me going as I feel I am tested to the limit, with each group of enemies that comes my way, and get closer and closer to being killed off for good, or maybe even doze off or feint from the pain I have.

I then peek around the corner to where the stairs are, only to see in the distance 4 gunners who then fire their weapons at me, in which I respond by spraying and praying without looking, unsure about how many of them I actually shot.

I run out of ammunition and so I quickly drop the gun, and rush as quickly as I could considering you know…. to pick up a rifle with some clips, before then having an idea. Realising that the area is guarded by gunners who now feel able to attack without fear of harming their allies by accident, I cannot peek out, but knowing I don't have a weapon I can spray and pray any more, I need to be accurate. I quickly realise that a mirror can help me in that regard to ensure I can get them with some accuracy but are there any hand mirrors. I like to think so in one of those rooms, but I need to be quick. Plus which I can use it to help see how many there are remaining.

I quickly look in each of the rooms for one, but unfortunately there's nothing. Nuts, how can I get the gunners now? But then I realise their weakness: their reload time being long and while their guns have decent magazines they can run out quickly. I need to get them to fire as many rounds as possible before they are needing to reload their weapons, and that will be my window of opportunity. I can gather up all the rifles in the corner and use them in case they shoot them, and with luck I can recharge a bit again as I take out those enemies.

OK, I hope that this plan works, and I can finally get to the stairs. I poke my rifle out and leaving as minimum amount of my body exposed as possible, I fire at them to the best of my ability, which encourages them to fire at the rifle which causes it to break in which I then drop it. In fact they then shoot at the wall at the corner where I'm hiding, so that they can shoot me when I'm hiding there, as now as a result I've ducked and moved away as quickly as my body will let me.

They have stopped firing, in fact I think I can hear in the distance the sound of them reloading their weapon, this is it. I then move to the corner quietly while prone, peek out a bit until I see an enemy and then fire at her before she can shoot at me, and I then peek out further to see the other one which doesn't take long. I fire first at the split second she's finished reloading killing her as well. Ah that was way too close once again, a fraction of a second later and I would have been killed by that machine gun, and it's getting more and more noticeably difficult to focus due to my aches, I can imagine it being worse if it was a head ache or blurry vision or something like that.

Too many close calls Black, too many close calls. I get up and look to see that there's no one there, but on this floor I can hear more enemies coming, I have to be quick and go down those stairs. I pick up a sub machine gun from one of the dead soldiers who carried them and some ammunition, and as quickly as I can though I speak loudly in agonising pain, I rush to the stairs, in which it's a shame what they've done to them, as there are massive paintings covered up by their artwork, and the stairs and carpet, and even the massive chandelier on the ceiling has the same effect.

I look around again to where I hear the enemy approaching and they're still not yet there, and so I cautiously go down the stairs, noticing that while there is a large door to the way out, in which I can hear gunfire outside indicating that there are Britannians nearby who I could join and carry on the fight with, there is a corridor full of enemies with submachine guns firing at me, forcing me to duck even if the staircase while grand and is full of large supports for the big rail that looked nice, there's still places where I could get shot, even if it's covered by fabric. At least I can rest a bit there, but it's little comfort considering the enemies that come to me.

Worse is that I see at the top plenty of soldiers with sub machine guns in which I fire back forcing them to duck, and there's also a couple of soldiers armed with light machine guns in the entrance. As if this isn't bad enough, I hear a car rushing through only for it to crash through the door which causes the two guards in the entrance to flee in panic. I feel like I am about to be executed shortly with all of these enemy soldiers here and on all sides, and even more worse is that even if I could survive, there is a car in the way of the entrance which blocks it completely.

What a shame to have gotten so far, all of those enemies I've gotten through and to have reached the stairs, no the exit, only for me to be completely surrounded here with massive numbers against me. It may look bleak, but at least I'll die fighting as I refuse to give up, as I again and again fire my gun behind me, to keep the enemy pinned down while looking behind me as my wounds continues to hurt me, and my fatigue gets to me. I can hear lots of gunfire coming towards my direction. I notice that are no enemies at the moment at the floor above me, but how long will that last.

In fact how long will I last before I join my sisters, dead after being shot down. At least I won't live to see us failing after getting this far, and even taking out one of the main enemies in this nightmare, but I cannot bear to find out what happens now that we've failed in this nightmare to stop Neptune from taking over the country, and to do who knows what misery to all of our pride, rights and decent wellbeing and prosperity.

I keep looking back and firing when the enemy shows up in which I've got one or two, and also fire at the stairs behind me in case they try to sneak up on me. In fact I end up firing a little while to keep them at bay, but then I realise that there's still the issue of the enemies on the ground floor. I reload my gun finding that I only have one clip left, and I then see part of a gun which appears bigger, as no doubt an enemy soldier has arrived, I then aim at the soldier waiting to fire as soon as they come into view.

If I'm going down, I'm going down fighting and I intend to take as many enemy soldiers as I can with the bullets, the energy and the health that I have left. I breathe and squint my eyes with much determination, as once again I am about to fight to the death, which becomes inevitable.
