My stide didn't faulted as we walked. I didn't care about the future right now all that mattered was the fact the man inside was going to target Rebecca to get to me. For that alone I won't leave anyone alive. Fuck the future I don't believe in destiny or anything else like that. I believe in the here and now. The smell of static, Chrome, blood and gun poured the things I can control.
So with little fan fair as soon as we stepped into the alley I charged Storm and Fired. The door man's bike had a hole the sized of my fist torn threw it and then his leg. On top of that both him and his budy all their Cyberware short Circuited from the EMP in the shot. Both died under the weight of their own Cyberware. A few grunts came storming out of the garage but they where met by Spark.
Spark ran like a demon drawing her pistols as she slid threw the legs of the first muk and dropped a foot into one of the other 4. His knee snapped back in the wrong direction with a sickening snap. Two Nue's bucked in her hands as the bullets ricochet off the floor and walls into the furthest man's head. Both of the .50 cal Baywolf rounds made the guys head pop like a balloon.
She rolled back dodging the mocks knee she brokes mantis blade. Her feet kicking up past the fist guys head who was still turning around. Her legs rapped around his head and she used him as leverage throwing her entire body with her legs around snapping his neck and spinning him into the oncoming fire of the last two uninjured gang goons. The dead man's chest erupted from the fire of the Unity and Liberty. On the back swing she let go the body flying out as she seemed to stand still blurring threw movement mid air. When she came back into real space she spun on her toes like a ballerina as the two standing goons each had a bullet in their skulls and the last two gunshots finally rang out.
Rebecca, who originally tried to bring a carnage shotgun, raised her Copper Head and fired short bursts at anyone that came running out with a weapon from the bar. While she did that I raised my own rifle and put some charged shots on targets on the second floor that Sasha was highlighting.
While my ram apparently was enough to breach the building hers was and she was pinging and highlighting targets threw cameras. Each buck or Storm took out a Gonk threw even through the bulletproof glass and concrete. Some times two shot where needed if the Storm subdermals where strong enough to stop the round after the wall or glass. Fun fact the EMP detonates on the first hit. Meaning while the bullet still tore inside and blew open chrome domes and armored chests it didn't kill anyone by crushing them under their own weight like the guys by the door. After several minutes the buildings power was cut booting Sasha from its network. The screaming of powerful engines rung out behind us as we saw several cars pull up behind us.
I didn't even wait for introductions before handing off my rifle to Rebecca. She smiled as she and Sasha now packing her Sidewinder. The Tigers hoped off bikes sports and super cars they blew more cash on thin their Hardware, Cyberware, or actual polishing their skills. I mean for a gang that you have to be Asian to join who favors Katanas and mantis blades I don't think any of them even had proper metal blades on their katanas and the mantis blades where all just standard iron chrome alloys. The over 20 guys that got out half of them had katanas, 5 more had mantis blades the rest had Pulsars or Smart pistols Arasaka something's, to be more specific two smart guns and three smgs.
Spark fired both her Nue's in quick secession hitting the two smart gun guys several times some of the Boewolf rounds flattened some blew off chunks but by the time her mags where sliding out of her hand cannons she was ducked behind me as my Shield deployed blocking the SMG armor piercing rounds. As the three SMGs kept us behind my shield and Spark reloaded the other Claws moved up.
"I'll take care of the melee users while you rush up and take out the Gunners. Then you can back me up?" My question came out with a smirk as two wires spewed from my arm one glowing gold and one glowing blue.
"I thought I was team lead? But sounds like a plan Sandy's ready and I'm reloaded! 9 Bag out!" She threw the special stun grenade over the shield. It only made a loud bang as it fired off hundreds of rubber balls causing the Claws to faulter for a second.
A second I took to charge forward leaning forward as spark blured running up my back sand jumping forward at a fast forward blur. My shield dropped right after I plowed threw the first line of Goons. As it flickered out I stuck my wires flying out as the spike of my fist met the chest of the guy detectly in front of me. Blood spilled passed his lips as i stabbed through his heart and lung. I yanked my hand free two bodies to his left and right falling into minsed meat. My heals clicker together twice as the one inch blade came out the two of the nice dress shoe. I kicked out cutting across one man's chest before the blade barried in his neighbors temple. The scratched man coughed up some blood as black and green lines stretched from the wound. Okay so the Biotech poison Card for blades was no joke. I pushed off the one hanging dead's face spinning back delivering a spinning heal kick to another's jaw. My arm spone with my body bisecting two Claws before with a devilish smile i jumped right towards a mantis blade.
The blade skittered across my new coat unable to punch threw or ever catch the blade on the fabric. My left hand grabbed hit throat as we fell to the ground. My make shift cushion made a great spring bored as I use my new metal bones to crush his windpipe and flip over back to my feet my wire flashing out taking two more heads. When I stood to my full height and looked down at the remaining 5 guys who where the 4 guys i knocked over with my shield and the 1 I kicked in the face with a heel kick. I sighed as Spark walked up whistling her glee at the skill I showed off. She raised her two hand Cannons and with 5 quick pulls of the trigger they where all dead.
"You really work like a butcher! Look at all this gore!" She said with a smirk.
I growled as I pulled her in. "Keep this up and I'll have to punish you," my voice was low against her ear coming out in a gravelly voice filled with Adrenaline unused and lust.
She shivered in my grasp as we continued to the door of the club. Inside more bodies that looked more like Swiss cheese then Tigers littered the upscale bar trying to hard to look fancy. I can hear the rattle of Rebecca and Sasha's assault rifles and boom of my Storm. We passed the bar and headed up the stairs to see them in a small room that opens into a strip club floor. I pulled out Rose as I pushed in behind Rebecca. I could hear her gasp before she wiggled her hips against my waist. "Is that a Overture or are you just happy to see me?" She giggled right as Storm kicked and she was pushed harder against me. I tracked the shot and saw it punch threw a wall on the far side of the dark room. In return who ever she missed fired back a hail of Copperhead and Pulsar rounds that bounced off the door frame and back wall.
"That's adrenaline and pure nature. Now Sasha whats the situation."
"They are blind firing from two side rooms one seems to be a staff area and the other a surver room I'm sure Jotaro stores his XBDs on. They won't pop up long enough for me to lock on with my Sidewinder or even launch a quick hack to tell Rebecca to fire that dam cannon of yours."
"Humm," I backed up reached into where I new Rebecca hid explosives she wasn't spose to have like the inferno grenade I pulled out. "We seriously need to talk about you bringing untested explosives you where sent by your brother." I rushed passed them and threw the door sliding behind a small concrete wall. I saw the glint of a gun from a dark door frame and fired Rose at full charge bearing a satisfying thump. I then tossed the inferno bomb into the door heard it bounce and roll before that side of the building began to glow as bright flames began to rapidly change colors with the screams of the Tigers at their clothes weapons, Armor, and Cyberware began to burn. I'm pretty sure I see the glass and concrete warping under the flames of that bomb. "Dear fucking god! Rebecca why did you have hell fire in a bottle on your back! Fuck I've been with you all day! Are you telling me I've been one lucky stray away from a firey," more screaming, "painful death?"
"Um maybe. I honestly thought it was just a regular Inferno grenade…" she said sounding embarrassed. I rub my face as my position was still under fire from the room not on fire.
"Can you ping them now that you can see Sasha?"
"Yeah Rebecca get ready!" I head the charging wine of all tech weapons fallowed by a boom. Then a two more before all the shooting was over. "Your clear there's only one more bio signal on the ping upstairs," Sasha called out as I slowly stood up. Right when I did the lights came back on and several holograms of naked women dancing appeared.
"Fuck," the word tumbled from my lips as I saw two heavy cal turrets come down from the roof. They aimed at me and I felt my ass clench as I heard them wind up. I threw my self back down in record time. Not fast enough to avoid taking a round to my right arm. It blew off the bottom half my arm destroying my cyber arm and my mono wire.
"Fuck," came Sasha's scream as she quickly began to hack the turrets. "Are you hit?"
"Yeah right arm. Again. I'm need another new arm! I just bought this one to!" I complained as I flinched at my stump of a robotic arm.
"Dam I what are the chances 2 arms in 24 hours?" Spark asked out trying to lighten the mood. A loud smack rang out right before two booms caused the turrets to explode.
Rebecca slid to my side pulling my destroyed arm into her lap as she began to examine my damages. Her eyes widened as she realized something, something worse then me losing my arm, "Where's Rose?"
My eyes filled with anger quickly filled with panick as I looked around spotting my severed arm. Me and Rebecca scrambled over to find rose cluched in my robotic hand completely fine. "Oh thank god. The beauty of the squad is okay!" I called out.
"Hey!" Sasha called offended.
"Fuck you im hotter then that thing!" Spark yelled indignant.
"Thank goodness!" Rebecca seemingly agreed with me. She pride my hand Cannon out of my none responsive robotic hand holding Rose like a Holy artifact. I rolled my eyes slinging Storm over my shoulder and holding my hand out to her to give me my primary death spitter. With great reluctance she handed it over. I slid it into it holster with a little difficulty.
"Sasha one target up stairs?" I called out pulling Ember Rose from my hip.
"Yes and with power up I can see it's Jotaro he's currently under gun point of his own defense turret."
"I'll go up and finish him then I want my arm fixed and Coyote Cojo. We wait on Jimmy till we find him and I'm one hundred percent." I say headed for the stairs going up.
When I got up there the first thing I saw was a corpse surrounded by cameras and lights. It had been cut to pieces with a scalpel. But other corpses near by showed some where drilled into or beaten to death. I growl like a wild beast as I dammed my self for not being able to deal even an inch of the pain he planned to do to Luna and Rebecca. These corpses only represented what could have happened to my friends my girls. I stormed into the man's office where he sat unmoving. Looking only at the gun pointed at him. The big fuck off one he installed. It slowly went into the roof as I raised Ember at him. His eyes widened more as he reached for his own gun on the desk. But one flaming round to the skull cooking his brains that didn't get splattered against the wall behind him finished off. The flames melted his chrome and burnt the meat. Not even Trauma team could bring him back. But to be safe I place the Jammer he sent with his Gang Goons to pick up Luna on his table. All out going signal cut off till the building was consumed by the hell fire still burning down stairs. Flames poked threw his eyes and ears along with the hole in the front of his head. It was a good day even with the missing arm. I grabbed the man's laptop and the shot the cameras around his torture area turning them to scrap and Slag.
