-
Alex and the captain were behind a desk, firing at the pirates who were held up behind doors in the hallways. Civilians were ducked on the ground, trying to avoid the gunfire.
-
Cannon sprints forward, putting himself between the civilians and the enemy bullets. He opens fire.
-
The pirates were sent to the floor quickly as bullets flew through them, but they fired at Cannon as well who as in the open. Deity quickly leapt over his cover and shot with this AK, taking them down and suppressing fire. The floor was cleared. He yelled to the Captain; "Get these people out of here!" "Got it!" She said as she began to escort them out. "We still got a couple floors to clear, you ready?" He asked Can
-
Cannon nods, reloading as he moves up the stairs.
-
Deity followed behind. As soon as they entered the next floor they were met with gunfire.
-
Cannon marches into the spray of bullets, returning fire with his blaster as they ping off him.
-
A dozen Bullers pinged into his armour but Alex quickly came to assist. He drew his sword, and ran in front of Can. The bullets deflected off the blade which seemed to be absorbing all of their energy. "Learned this from a robot dude! Move up and fire at the bitches! Stay behind me!"
-
Cannon nods, staying behind Alex as he fire his blaster into the enemy.
-
This proved to be a useful strategy as Deity provided ample cover for Cannon to fire accurately. It took mere minutes to eliminate everyone on the third floor, and they repeated this for the fourth, fifth and sixth. They arrived on the seventh floor, tired and bloody. "Jesus...just need to take a breath..."Deity said, putting his hands on his knees.
-
Cannon still seems fine, and simply takes a moment to reload. "One last floor."
-
"Good lord you have some stamina! Sure I'm the one who's been deflecting fu[i]c[/i]king bullets for the last twenty minutes but god damn!"
-
Cannon shrugs. "I'll go in front if you'd like." He replies.
-
"And get shot up?" Deity said with baited breath. "Nah! I'll be fine! Let's go!"
-
Cannon shrugs. "Suit yourself. I'm a bit low on ammo, so let's make it fast."
-
"Sounds good." He confirmed, composing himself. He opened the door, and raised His blade to block oncoming bullets. But...there was no one there except the civilians. One immediately came forward. "They all went up to the eighth floor!" He said. "God damnit they're fortifying for a last stand! Get out of here! All of you stat!" The civilians ran past the two and down the stairs to exit the building. After a couple of minutes the floor was cleared.
-
Cannon moves to the next staircase and draws a grenade. "Tine for fireworks?"
-
"Oh HELL yes." Deity answered with excitement.
-
Cannon pulls the pin and chucks it up the stairs. Seconds later a loud explosion is heard.
-
"Move!" Deity demanded. The two sprinted up the stairs and found a massive hole where the door was, and a pume of smoke. They made their way through and found a dozen bodies around them. This floor was different, as it was entirely an office. There were no more soldiers in the building, just one man who sat behind a massive oak desk with a wine glass in hand. It was half empty, and he took a long sip from it. It poured across the glass and past his dark dirty shaven skin. His eyes popped and his face was skinny, while the rest of him was rather built. "So you telling me..." He started. "You two took out just about all my men. In a day?!"
-
"Less than a day, actually. It's only been a few hours." Cannon replies, raising his blaster.
-
"Right. Pardon my French." He put carelessly. "And why exactly are you here? Wealth? I hardly have anything. Only men who were loyal to me."
-
Cannon looks to Deity. "What do you want to do with him?"
-
"Well. As long as he doesn't try anything, I think we can take him into custody. I'm sure the refugees here would enjoy that..." The man began to laugh at Deity's response. Slapping his knee. "What in the world makes you think I'm coming with you?!" He cackled. "Two against one asshat." Deity insulted back. "Or did you forget how to count?" The pirate leader looked at the two seriously. Before standing up with his arms raised. "Fine." He said, dropping his glass on the ground. "I surrender."
-
"Well... That was anticlimactic." Cannon mumbles, keeping his gun leveled as ge approaches the man with a pair of restrainer shock-cuffs.
-
"Oh did I mention I had this place rigged to explode?" The leader said quickly. He quickly tapped his pocket and the two saw a red light begin to beep. "OH FU[i]C[/i]K!" Deity cursed.
