Chapter 14: Clown Show
Rebecca is in a cell deep within the underground of the Bozo's hideout. "Wake up whore, time to have a face-to-face," Grace said as Rebecca shakes her head to hold her palm against her forehead.
"Shit, my head," Rebecca said as she has no weapons and her combat cyberware disabled. "Oh, not you again," she said as she looked upon Grace to see her skin was chalk white and sporting a female jester costume which is a colorful skintight bodysuit and a jester headpiece. "Looking like a discount comic book bad guy," Rebecca laughs at her as Grace is upset with this.
"Piss off, I am the one who put the Bozos on the map within this city. Less competition here means more chances for us to shine. You are nothing but an ex-Mox hooked up to those savages," Grace said this made Rebecca upset.
"The Nomads have way more honor than this freak show you got here," Rebecca defended her new family.
"Yeah, I doubt it. They let in a sex freak like you into their ranks says a lot about them," Grace said as Rebecca stood firm in her beliefs.
"You don't get it. They are the ones who are truly free unlike you who are enslaved by the Corpos worldview," Rebecca said as Grace waved her hand in front of her to dismiss her.
"I don't get why Cortez sees in you," Grace said.
"I got three reasons. I am fun, I am loyal and I can fuck his brains out," Rebecca said in a cheeky tone to make the clown woman angry.
"You had sex?" she asked.
"Yep, and he said I was the best he ever had," Rebecca's words are getting under the Jester's skin.
"Oh, I see. You used your slutty ways to put him under your spell. I will be needed to show him the way of a proper woman. Like they say, you can't turn a whore into wife material. It only spells disaster. You will be used as bait to draw him in and I will steal him away. You will be tossed aside and be used as intended," Grace said as she walked away to prepare a signal to get Cortez's attention.
Rebecca is in the cell waiting to be sold as a sex slave. "I need to get out of here or I got a one-way ticket to Pound Town," she thought as there was a guard who was protecting her door. "Oh, I bet if I can distract him. I can knock him out and turn on my cyberware," she thought as she leaned against the cell door with a lewd smile on her face.
"Hey there big guy, I was wondering if you could come in and give me a test drive," Rebecca said in a seductive tone.
"I am guarding you," the guard said to not be afraid of this small woman.
"You can guard my pussy by stick into it," Rebecca said as she turns around and bends over to pull down her hot pants to show off her big rear and broad hips in her panties. "There is so much plumpness back there, it would be a waste not to use it, right?" she asked with a sexy little wink.
"Well, it does look juicy and round," the guard said being uncertain of what he was seeing.
"Come on, in my line of work. A man's dick is more honest than his mouth. Come on, let's have a little quickie," Rebecca said as the guard gave in to his desires.
"Fine, I am beyond stressed out. I need some relief," the guard said as Rebecca showed a fake smile.
"Well, you came to the right place. Come in here big guy," she said as her trick worked as the gates were opened to take off her bends which were limiting her Cyberware. "Psyche," she reaches out and shoves her hand through his chest.
"You bitch," the guard said as he falls over and dies.
"Opps but he was a dirty clown so who cares? I will be taking your stuff. This will do for now," she said as she grabbed the guard's Liberty pistol with a red dot sight, and suppressor.
"Good for now," she said as she rushed out of the prison block to see more guards coming to swiftly pop them in the head with suppressed shots leaving little noise behind.
She noticed cameras nearby as Rebecca uses her pistol to take them out to clear out the area.
"This is the exit," she said but it needs a key card to open. "Damn it," she said as she felt a barrel of a gun behind her head.
"Nice and easy missy. You better get back to your cage," the guard said as Rebecca pulled down her short shorts to unveil her underwear fitting her petite shapely body.
"Hey there, put that barrel away and you put another barrel into my tight little mouth," she said with a lewd face making the guard flustered.
"Gee, those hips and thighs are insane," he thought.
"Be honest, you want to fuck my mouth right. I can't do that if I am dead," Rebecca said.
"Fine," he drops his gun and Rebecca swiftly draws her pistol to shoot him in the head. His blood scattered across the walls with Rebecca sighing at this.
"Some men think with their dicks too much," she said as she steals a keycard off his corpse. "Perfect," she said as she went off to the door to unlock it with the keycard to escape the prison section.
"What the hell is going on?" Grace questioned on the radio.
"Madam the cameras are disabled and the guards are silent," a Bozo said.
"Seems like our little bitch is more clever than we thought," Grace said. "All units go on high alert. Take her dead or alive," Grace said on the radio.
The whole compound was on high alert. "Well, no more sneaking around. Not my style anyway," she said to go into a room which has her weapons. "Cool," she drops her pistol to puts her sidearms in her crop jacket and wields Guts.
"Time to get out of here," she said as she went at high speed down the dirty halls.
"Halt you bitch," the Bozo thugs wielding their Copperheads and Ajaxs open fire on her as she hardens her skin to hold up against the waves of gunfire.
She slides behind the cover as she lands her shots on the gangsters to flatline them. "Oh shit!" she saw an EMP grenade as she rolls away from the blast zone.
She fires her rounds into the bodies of the Bozos with the 4 gauge slugs rounds tearing into the bodies to put them down.
"Seems like you are more resistant than I thought," Grace said on the loudspeakers.
"There is no way I am going to be sold into sex slavery," Rebecca said.
"Why not, is it any different than your job as a sex worker," Grace said.
"That is different. This is rape," Rebecca said.
"Like it makes a difference. You are nothing more than a stepping stone for my new husband. You will be forgotten like anyone is going to miss someone like you," Grace said.
"As if, he going to be my husband. Not yours," Rebecca thought as she felt determined to get out of there. "I am getting out of here," Rebecca said.
"Well, I will be observing you. Seeing your performance will make me laugh when you fail," Alex said to cut off the loudspeaker.
"Fuck, what a total clown," Rebecca said as more Bozos wielded their weapons to blaze at her. She took several shots to the chest to knock her onto the floor as her skin deflected them fine.
She gets into cover as she tosses a flashbang to stun their cyber eyes. She looks through her scoped revolver to place several shots to nail them in the head easily cutting them down.
She keeps pushing as she shoves the boxes to slam into enemies to keep them off balance to finish them off in the head. She grabs onto a corpse to pull a grenade on the still-warm body.
"You drop something," she lifts the corpse and flings it across the hallway to hit a group of enemies while the grenade goes off killing everyone in the group. She slides to go under enemy fire while taking hits to use her Guts to delete a Bozo out of existence. She pumps the gun and blows off the head of a Bozo.
"It's just one bitch, kill her," Grace is not liking this as she is seeing Rebecca wiping out groups of her gang members.
Rebecca is using her weapons and fists to tear through the groups of Bozos. She leaps up to grab onto the woman's neck with her thighs to snap it hard. She fires her Blood to pepper tons of 9mm rounds into the bodies of the Bozos.
She leaps away to strike down more enemies with her Lexington. She tosses a grenade to blast apart a group of enemies. She goes into a wide space with Bozos setting up defensive positions to open fire on Rebecca.
A few snipers wielding scoped MX1 Garands and a heavy Bozo is wielding a BMG 500 medium machine gun.
Rebecca gets behind a crate to avoid the lines of sight to be shot. She tosses a flashbang to blind her enemies to swiftly take them out with headshots. She jumps onto the crate and jumps onto the upper level to shove her fist into a sniper to use the Bozo as a meat shield.
She moves in to let the meat shield take the hits as she shoves him into another sniper. She fires a solid slug into the head of the gunner to drop the machine gun. She rolls away as she is taking hits from their weapons but her skin weave keeps her safe.
"I will take this," Rebecca grabs the BMG 500 MMG which has 150 rounds of .338 Lapua magnum rounds. "Very nasty," she said as he came out to unleash a hail of bullets to rip and tear into the crowds of enemies.
Then an armored four-legged 6-foot drone called a LAW (Land Assault Walker) shows up with an automatic grenade launcher on top. "Kill that bitch!" Grace ordered the loudspeakers.
The drone is peppering grenades with Rebecca getting into cover as the grenades are destroying her cover fast. She tosses an EMP grenade to disable the metal beast to unleash the remaining AP rounds to damage the drone.
She drops the weapon to rush away to see a hanging crate which is near the drone. "I need to move that and drop it on the big bot," Rebecca thought.
"Shit, madam. The Aldecaldos has sent a strike team led by Panam. We are getting destroyed here," the Bozo said on the comm.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Grace questioned as she looked at the video feed to see Cortez, Mitch, Panam, and 5 other nomads cutting a path through the front entrance. "Well looks like I need to unleash Mr. Grapes for this one," she thought.
"Rebecca, are you there?" Cortez asked to get her on the comm.
"Babe, you send the cavalry," Rebecca said.
"Of course, you are one of us. Nomads don't leave their family behind, especially with the likes of these hobo clowns," Panam said as she used a Nekomata sniper rifle to drop targets on the building's rooftops.
Mitch is wielding an Ajak assault rifle to pump rounds into incoming Bozos and tosses an EMP grenade to stun them to finish them off with headshots. "Damn straight. V is using one of our drones to rain down fire on these bastards," Mitch said as V was firing missiles and striking incoming reinforcements from the outskirts.
"You guys are cleared," V said on the radio.
Cortez is using a BMG 500 to tear through the Bozos with ease even the Cyberpsychos clowns didn't stand much of a chance against .338 AP rounds to reduce them to piles of gore.
Rebecca feels touched by this. "Guys," she said as she felt lucky to be with people who care about her and treat her fairly. She finds a switch to drop the heavy crate which crushed the big drone clearing the path.
"No! fuck this. I am going to send Mr. Grapes to crush you to dirt," Grace said as Rebecca kept moving to get close but she heard a huge roar.
"The fuck is that?" Rebecca wondered as a huge figure came down the hallway behind her.
"Slut meet Mr. Grapes," Grace said as there is a 10-foot-tall mutant gorilla ready to tear Rebecca in half.
"Oh, fuck me. More monsters," Rebecca is dumbfounded at how bad this monster ape is. The beast is rushing at her as Rebecca is running away to fire her revolver but it bounces off its thick hide. She hardens her skin to brace for a huge tackle which knocks her through a door to be within a large warehouse section of the complex.
Rebecca felt blood coming out of her mouth from that mighty tackle. Rebecca uses her Berserk OS to trigger her berserk state preparing for a big fight. She wants to tank the huge punch but the raw power of the ape pushes past Rebecca's limit and sends her flying into a wall leaving a small crater on impact.
The sheer force has stopped Rebecca's heart and she lies lifelessly on the floor. "Yes! The bitch is dead," Grace is excited as Rebecca's Second Heart implant gives her heart a strong jolt to revive it and get working again bringing her back.
"Oh shit, I almost died from that," Rebecca said as she feels happy this cyberware saved her three times. One from Atom Smasher, the second when she got caught off guard in DreadZone, and now against this big ape. "Best investment ever," he said happily patting her chest as Grace was disappointed by this.
"Oh, I was going to pop the wine until you came back up. Mr. Grapes time to give Cortez a message. Bring me her corpse," Grace ordered as the gorilla was beating his chest ready for a fight.
"Okay, close range is not going to work," Rebecca loads slugs into her shotgun to begin moving around trying to dodge incoming close-range attacks. She fires the slug into the chest to stun it a bit as she keeps fighting to wound it further.
Mr. Grapes grabs onto a shipping crate and slams it towards Rebecca. "Oh shit," she rolls away as the impact makes her lose her balance. The big ape comes in to grab her left arm to begin crushing it. Rebecca screams in pain as Grace is enjoying every bit of this.
"Yes, yes. Make her suffer," Grace said as Rebecca needed to do something or the gorilla was going to rend her body in half. She does a bold move and yanks hard to tear off her arm to drop onto the floor. She wields her Lexington to shoot bullets into its eyes to blind it.
"You sneaky bitch, you ruined Mr. Grape's lovely eyes," Grace said as Rebecca see she is missing everything below her shoulder leaving her with one arm.
"Goodness," Rebecca said as blood was leaking from her severed arm slot. The pain is terrible but she needs to keep moving. "I need to distract and make my move," Rebecca said as she slid behind the cover to see explosive containers.
She fires a bullet which sets off the container to burn the monster making it back away. She kicks a red container to roll toward the beast to shoot it and set off a fiery blast causing some damage.
"Get some real third-degree burns," Rebecca said as she shot red containers with the flames weakening the monster ape. "Catch," she tosses a red container with the ape catching it in its mouth. "Burn in hell, Kong rip off," Rebecca fires a bullet to tear into the container to let it explode vaporizing the ape's head and killing it instantly.
"No! Mr. Grapes, you poor baby. You bitch, you killed my pet ape. He was my favorite," Grace said to be deeply saddened by her pet's loss.
"Madam, we need to retreat," a Bozo said.
"Fine, I am going for your ass. Little whore, I am going to kill you with my own two hands. Cortez will be my," Grace said as the Bozos retreat with Rebecca falling onto the floor feeling so tired.
"Goodness, done with that," she said as Cortez and the others showed up.
"Rebecca, we found her," he said as he looked deeply worried about Rebecca's missing arm. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I am fine. Needed to break it off or I would be dead now," Rebecca said as they looked over to see a giant ape missing his head.
"Damn it, one of the Biotechnica freaks again," Panam looking on with disgust.
"Good move in hindsight not to partnership with them, doing crazy shit like this," Mitch said.
"Can you move?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just in a replacement. Get it 3d printed and fix it up at Marie," Rebecca said as Cortez carried her in his big arms to make sure nothing else happened to her.
"Come on, we will fix you up and get some rest," Panam said as the Nomad came to rescue their new member to head back to the cars.
"Good thing she is safe. Biotechnia is a concern now," V said on the holo.
"Indeed, they are doing some shady things on the West Coast. The reasoning was these things leaked out into the wild but that is nonsense," Mitch said.
"Ren needs to come up with a team to sort this stuff out. Booting Biotechnia out of the FSA and taking their assets should be their next move," Panam said as Cortez was holding onto Rebecca who was taken to Cortez's truck for everyone to head back home to camp.
"You are wrong Grace, there are people who care about me. When I die, people will remember me in their hearts. You will be a forgotten memory and no one would care if you died," Rebecca thought as she felt happy to lay her head on Cortez's arm. "Thanks for coming to my rescue yet again," she said.
"No problem, I contacted the others. Sorted the data and found you on camera around this location. We always have your back. No matter what," Cortez said.
"You guys are the best," Rebecca said as she headed home to fix up her body and rest up.
