Guardian Stories B1, House of Witches. Part 12 Collision

Writers Note: This is a short one, but I'm so grateful for you guys. Thank you. If I had to guess, we might be finishing on part 18-20. Not sure just because the website only lets me write so much per post. Might find it hard to write in the next few days as I will be doing a lot of travelling. Thanks for understanding. Akain opened fire on the Fallen Captain, hit shields deflected the burst of pulse rifle fire, it sounded like metal blades hitting a energy wall at speed. The bullets bounced around the room, one lucky shot found a mark, a Fallens head burst with what looked like white flame, like their soul was being ejected out of the corpse. The Captain charged him, not even drawing his weapon, Akain was able to break his shields before the Captain knocked him into the controls. The ship began to spin out of control, most of the Fallen flew back out of the door they came from. Akain and the Captain were slammed to the side of the ship, the pulse rifle he held flew out of his hands, Akain tried to move but the G-force was holding them down. The Captain had enough strength to draw one of his swords, he tried stabbing Akain, with all of Akain's strength he rolled away and the sword plunged into the floor with a deafening clang. The ships spinning began to slow as the auto pilot must have kicked in to take control, both the Captain and Akain crumpled to the floor, breathing heavily they hurriedly tried to get to their feet. Akain got the first swing, punching the Captain in the face with fire, his mask caught fire and the Captain clawed it off his face. The Captain didn't waste a second and drew his sword so quick that Akain had no time to pull out his own, Akain dodged backwards that blade scratching his helmets visor, the arc energy that came of the blade crackled down his body, burning his chest. The Captain swiped again and again, all Akain could do was back up until there was no more room, desperately he whipped out his grenade launcher that was hung at his side and fired it at the feet of the Captain. Instead of exploding, it ricocheted of the floor and bounced rapidly around the room and then it exploded on the opposite side of the room. The pressure from the explosion pushed the Captain unexpectedly into Akain. The sound was thunderous and Akain's ear rang even though he was protected by his helmet. He could barely see, but he pushed the Captain of him, the Captain was shaking his head, blinking rapidly, his ears were unprotected and he would have been deafened from the explosion. Akain took his chance and drew his sword over his back and brought it down on the Captain's head. Akain missed the head and implanted his sword deep in the Captains shoulder. The Captain shouted, blood exploded from the Captain's mouth. The Captain was done, Akain dropped the sword, which was stuck inside the Captain and picked up Yuri's pulse rifle, the Captain was on his knees, slowly and painfully dying. Akain shot the Captain dead, to save him even more pain. The Captain fell to his side and Akain wrenched out the blade, it wasn't a pleasant sight. Akain could feel his chest burn from the Captain's strike, he stubbled backwards into the wall and slid down, Lumiere came out to heal him up. She disappeared afterwards and he took a second to get back up, he just needed a moment, the spinning of the ship made him feel like he was going to pass out. Akain raised his rifle and approached the door, where the Fallen had come from, peaking around it he seen nearly a dozen Fallen dregs getting up of the ground and gearing up to help their now dead Captain. Akain swore under his breath, but in an instant he had the answer. He took his grenade launcher in hand again, snapping the barrel open he loaded it with another shot, he only took five with him, he didn't expect it to be so useful. He grabbed the door and pointed the launcher in the room and fired it inside the other room, he slammed the door closed as Fallen shots came at him and he held it closed. A second later the door bumped and dull reverberation echoed through the metal of the ship. Akain opened the door, most of the Fallen had well, fallen. He finished the job and shot the moving ones quickly. Before he had a second to breath, the ship shook violently again. He nearly forgot he was being shot at by two other ships. Akain staggered back to the controls of the ship, barely able to hold his balance. The Skiff had taken serious damage, one gun was damaged and in need of repairs the other had been blown off. He was also higher above the Colossal Walker, up with the Hive Tombships that were haling the giant machine. An idea formed in his head as he stared at the leading Tombship on the far side, he had a foolish idea, a crazy idea. Akain steered the ship away from the Tombships, far away and far ahead, his pursuers followed but eventually gave up and returned to protect their cargo. Good, Akain whispered under his breath. He turned the ship back to the approaching armada, he lined up his shot, unless he really messed up, he couldn't miss. He accelerated the ship, to top speed, it nearly sent him off his feat. Akain regained his balance and picked up then jammed one of the Captain's swords in the joystick it heald it in place. Akain running as fast as he could to the back of the Skiff, where the Fallen usually dropped from the ship. Akain jumped over the bodies to the back and picked a hole, there was no metal pole that the Fallen would stand on before jumping from the ship, it had been blown off in the attack on the Skiff. Akain waited, his heart beating out of his chest, he waited and then as soon as he seen one of the guarding Skiffs he leaped out of the ship. The Skiff he piloted continued at tremendous speeds towards the leading Hive Tombship. Akain fell feet first arms spread to slow him down, he was falling diagonally towards the Colossal walker he couldn't help let out a shout in fear and shock as he fell for the second time through the sky. Around fifty metres away from the giant machine, he used his glide to slow himself down, luckily he wasn't falling at terminal velocity this time and Akain landed roughly on the top of the walker, rolling over and over until he hit what felt like a large metal wall. He was winded but felt like everything inside him was intact, other than his bleeding lip that he must of bit when he was falling. The wind forced him to lay flat, if he tried to get up, he might loose his balance and fall again. Next second he heard a huge explosion over the howling of the wind. The Skiff and the Tombship collided, the Skiff had broken the Tombship in half, he could see the thick cable attached to it from the Colossal walker waver and fall with the ship. The Skiff was only bits and pieces now. Akain thought the Walker became more lopsided and was moving slower than before, he looked at the other Tombships, one of the cables attached to the Tombship at the back was whipping back in forth in the wind. Eve must have got one herself, Akain thought to himself. He continued to look around and could see a small hole in the hull of the Walker, like the one he had made in the Skiff, he crawled to it slowly, making slow progress until he pulled himself in and landed badly in a well lit hallway decorated with several recently dead Fallen dregs and a few Hive acolytes. Eve, you around here somewhere? Akain asked over the radio, as he got back to his feet. Silence met his ears, Hive magic usually interfered with their broadcasts and this place was full of it. Without giving another second to thought, he raised Yuri's pulse rifle and began to follow the bodies made by Eve. Two cables down another eight to go, Akain thought to himself, surprised that he wasn't already dead yet. He was about to try and contact Eve over the radio when he heard a familiar voice crackling over all radio channels. Commander Zavala to Guardian team, air support is inbound, stop the Mammoth Walker at all costs, we can not let it approach the City.
