Chapter 44: Volume 2 Chapter 5
"Are we there yet?!"
Somewhere in the deep ruins and small tunnel of Middle Terracore, a dark cloaked girl and Viper can be seen casually strolling in the place like it's a normal thing to do.
"You know that you've been saying the same thing like 50 times now, right?" Viper said with a hint of annoyance in his smiling face.
"Well... you also haven't said anything since the first time I asked." The girl in dark cloaked replied.
"Hmm.... fair point."
Ever since the train incidence occurred, both Viper and the dark cloaked girl have been on run from the authorities of Foundation City. Hiding from ruin to ruin, the pair hasn't made much progress from escaping their threats until this moment.
"We should be somewhat close..."
Navigating from the ruined rubbles of a once functioning TerraTech Building, the pair then arrived at a damaged hole in the place. Entering said damaged hole, the pair then gazes their sights at a huge and abandoned city.
"Wow...." Seeing the dark looking city, the girl in dark cloak can't help but be mesmerize at what she's seeing. "So, what's this?" The girl in black cloak asked.
"I heard this was once a functioning city." Viper replied. "As for how this was abandoned and left to ruins, it's a mystery."
"Hmm... quite interesting." Hearing Viper's answer, the dark cloaked girl's interest peaked even more. "So, what are we doing here?"
"Did you even listen to what the plan was?" Viper asked.
"Nope." The girl in dark cloak immediately answered with a straight face.
"[Sigh...] Figures..." Despite expecting the girl to say said answer, Viper still can't help but be disappointed for hearing it. "I'm just going to repeat this once, so you better listen Cloak."
Giving viper the thumbs up, Cloak awaits for Viper to explain, what they're doing in the place.
"We came here because this is the only place in where we can go travel to Lower Terracore without gaining the attention of the authorities." Viper explained. "With what we did to the train, most railways and stations is probably highly alert of anyone suspicious, so travelling through train and entering cities isn't our best option."
"I see..." Hearing Viper's explanation, her understanding of their current situation grew even more clearer. "Wait... why are we going to Lower Terracore again?"
"We're going there because we need to travel to the Junkyard where we can sell the stolen weapons to black market." Viper answered.
"Ahhh...! I remember now." Cloak said. "So that's the reason why we did the heist."
"Are you seriously this dumb." Baffled at Cloak's inability to remember things, Viper quietly ignored the dumb girl and started checking his knives. Seeing how he only has a few remaining, he silently sighs and prepared to continued their venture. "Are the weapons still safe?" Viper asked.
"They're still fine and well in my Storage." Cloak said while giving Viper a thumbs up.
With their things prepared and ready, the pair then silently and alertly made their way in the abandoned city.
.
.
.
As the pair navigate their way in the abandoned city, Viper made sure to be extremely careful in their steps. With how old and destroyed the ruined buildings are, there might be a chance that one of them collapses on the pair.
"Ey! look a skeleton." Interested at the dried bones of what remains of a corpse, Cloak casually ran at the thing and grabbed the skull like it's some plaything. "Hehehehe..."
Seeing the cloaked girl play with a skull, Viper can't help but sigh. Ever since their mission has started, he has been somewhat serious with the mater. Yet his partner on the other hand begs to differ.
"Hey look Viper, it's a skull."
"R-right..." Viper spoke.
"I've never seen one before in my life." Cloak happily said. "It's quite scarier than I thought."
"Didn't you already murder a few people?" Viper said "So why are acting like it's your first time seeing one."
"Ehhhh? But when I rip off their heads, all that comes out is blood." Cloak said. "I never once seen a skeleton nor a skull when I rip off their heads."
"Thats because the skull and bones are inside." Viper explained.
"Haahh!!! How fascinating..." Cloak uttered. "So, them skeletons are inside us all along."
What a weird girl... Viper thought. Baffled with their interaction, Viper quickly pay no mind to Cloak who still is holding the skull. Using a small flashlight in his hand, he then carefully travels the ruined city while keeping watch for anything suspicious.
But as they arrived at a ruined road in the place, Viper took noticed of a few voices in the area.
"Find anything yet?!" A voiced of a man shouted.
"Nothing here!" Another voiced shouted.
Suddenly hearing the unknown voices, Viper quickly hide himself in some random debris. Closing in from where he heard said voices, Viper noticed a few armed men not far from where he hides.
"Fucking hell, man... We ain't finding shit here!!!" A man armed with a gun said as he kicks off some rubble.
"Quiet down, will you!" Another armed man spoke. "Those damn creatures still run amok here."
"Oooohhh... flatter me, someone's too much of a pussy... We're armed to the teeth you fucking pussy. So even if alert some, we're just going to shoot it!"
"Fucking hell..."
With the armed group busy in their argument, they weren't able to notice Viper's presence. Wanting to assess the situation his in, Viper tried observing the group for much longer.
6 men, armed with guns. Judging from their clothing I assume they're raiders... a well-armed one at that... Viper thought. With his assessment of the group now complete, he concluded that dealing with the group isn't worth it. But as he prepares to back off and find another way to their destination, he noticed that Cloaked isn't near him. Cloak! Viper shouted in his mind. Checking every corner of his area, Viper notices Cloak is still from where she stands.
Waving her hand as if nothing is happening, she then ran her way to where Viper was hiding.
"Viper, Viper look! I found a cute looking rat."
With Cloak's voice echoing in the place, the armed group's attention was immediately diverted. Knowing how Cloak mess up, Viper quickly readied a knife in his hand and ran to the oblivious Cloak.
"Hey look Vip-"
With Viper's hand swiftly covering Cloak's mouth, she wasn't able to finish her sentence. Not really understanding as to why Viper was doing such thing, she can only follow him as he drags her in some large rubble.
"Ohhh... you should've just asked if you really want me that bad..." Cloak said.
With Viper's hand holding her mouth and breast area, Cloak can't help but give out some remark. Not really faze but her words, Viper then gave out some words of his own.
"God... you're not even concern of how much you have fucked us right now."
"Fucked us?" Cloak echoed.
Seeing the silhouette of the pair, hide in the rubble. The armed group began getting closer to where they hide with their weapons raised.
"Show yourselves!" One of the men shouted.
Hearing one of the men's voiced, Cloak then tried taking a glimpse out of curiosity. Seeing six-armed med closing in, she now understood what Viper means by fucked.
"Oh, I get it now..." Cloak muttered. "Quite unlucky for us to meet such a group."
"Who do you think's fault is it?!!"
"Right... sorry."
"[Sigh...]"
Seeing their situation be inevitable, Viper was left with no choice to engage with the armed group. Raising his hand in the air, he then slowly revealed himself to the men.
"Why hello there..." Viper said with a smile. "Quite fancy meeting another group here."
Seeing Viper's presence, the group quickly raised their weapons at his direction.
"No need to be so uptight." Viper spoke. "We're just fellow cave dwellers here." Seeing how the armed men won't let go of their guard, despite his words. Viper can only stand still and wait.
"Where's the other one?" One of the armed men asked seriously.
.
.
"[Sigh...] They're referring to you shrimp." Viper said.
"Oh?" With Viper calling for her, Cloak then revealed herself to the group.
"A w-woman..." Seeing Cloak's face, some of the men can't help but be surprised.
"I'm not a shrimp you know." Cloak said. "I'm much taller than the one's my age."
"Sure... keep dreaming and you might achieve such wish." Viper retorted.
"Hmmm!!!!"
Seeing the two argue, one of the armed men quickly stopped said bickering by raising his weapon once more.
"Quiet, you two!"
With guns raised at their vicinity, the duo quickly complied to said demand. As much to their dismay.
"You, woman. Get out of that rubble."
Following to said command, Cloak slowly made her way to Viper's back with her hands raised in the air.
"Now then..." One of the men said. "Who the hell are both of you?"
Not wanting some bullets to be fired off at them, Viper tried answering said question.
"We're j-."
"Haaah! You fools! You don't even know who the people you facing with!" Cloak interrupted Viper. "We're the terror that dwells in these grounds, the ones that fights this injustice hierarchy, the ones who dream of an equal world. We are the Unde-[Smack!] Aww!"
Seeing how Cloak was about to reveal who they really were, Viper immediately smack Cloak in the head.
"W-what was that for..." Cloak tearfully asked.
Ignoring the tear eyed girl, Viper immediately came up with a lie to the armed group.
"Please ignore this partner of mine." Viper said. "She's not right in the head."
"Huh?!" Cloak shouted.
Seeing how odd the duo is, the armed group can't help but be weirded out. But still suspicious of them, they continued to aim their weapons at them.
"Stop fooling around!" One of the men spoke. "Answer quickly or I'll blow both your heads off."
"Please calm down. We're just normal cave dwellers." Viper explained.
"Cave dwellers?" One of the armed men echoed. "Bullshit! What kind of normal cave dweller would try to explore this place."
"U-umm... Us I suppose..." Viper answered.
With Viper's lack luster answer, the group grew even more suspicious of the duo. Seeing that such is the case, Viper can't help but smile eerily.
"Shit..." Viper muttered quietly.
"Good job, dumbass." Cloak said to Viper. "You really suck at stuff like this."
"As if you were better." Viper retorted.
"Stay where you are!" One the man shouted with his weapon raised.
Sighing at his failed negotiation, Viper immediately dropped his hands. He doesn't really want to waste more knives, but in their situation it seems that he has no choice.
"Hey! Raised your arms!" Occupied at Viper's sudden action, the man didn't notice the hidden knives in Viper sleeves. And without warning, Viper swiftly throw two knives which struck the unsuspecting man's head.
With a bunch of knives deep in his skull, the man quickly dropped his weapon, which not long after is his bleeding body as well.
Shocked at the sudden development. The remaining 5 group of men, then quickly pointed their weapons to the duo and started firing.
"Kill them!"
[Loud gun shots!!!]
Despite the incoming barrage of bullets coming their way, Viper is oddly calm about the situation.
"Cloak." Viper uttered.
"Righteoh!" Hearing Viper's call and knowing what she already needs to do. A black like energy quickly formed in Cloak's hands, which she used to summon a psionic ability.
"Storage Gate!"
Out of nowhere a human height circle like portal appeared in front of the duo, which they remained standing behind.
Confusing the circle like portal to be a shield from a shield emitter, they continued firing at the thing without hesitation. But as the time pass and a ton of bullet cases echoes in the sound of hitting the ground. They quickly noticed that their bullets aren't doing a single thing. "The hell." Confused as to what's happening, they immediately stopped their barrage. "Don't shot!" Feeling eerie at the situation, one of the men felt like something's bad about to happen.
"Oh? They stopped shooting." Cloak spoke. "They're pretty smart than I thought."
Feeling the eeriness growing stronger, the man quickly thought of retreating. But just as he was about to tell the others, it was already too late.
"Just quickly finish this off." Viper told Cloak.
"Right..." Closing her hand, Cloak then said the word "Release."
With her word echoing in the ears of the armed men, the black human sized circle suddenly started shaking which not long after released countless of bullets from inside.
Seeing the incoming bullets, the group quickly tried retreating, which was already too late. Bullets from various direction rain upon the raider group, which hit their backs, legs, arms and heads. As blood and chucks of flesh spill out from their body, Cloak can't help but feel like barfing. She's not really good with blood, despite her countless experience of killing.
Bullets continued to rain from the portal for a few seconds, after which is quietly stopped. Seeing how there's no more bullets left, Cloak quickly deactivate her portal and ran off to some random place to release the vomit that she was holding.
.
.
"Bleaaaagggghhhhh...." Cloak uttered as she vommits.
Seeing her feel disgusted by such a scene, Viper can't help but sigh. "Good job Cloak, you made only waste two knives this time."
Hearing Viper praise her, she then gave him a thumbs up and a smirk. It's very rare for Viper to praise her, so she can't help but be happy.
"I did an omega good job, right?!"
"Right..." Smelling an awful vomit smell coming from her mouth, Viper can't help but close his nose. "Please wash that mouth of yours."
"[Barf...]"
"Disgusting..."
"Hehehehe..."
With their threat now handled, the duo was once again back to continue their travel. Seeing how there isn't much to loot from the corpses, they quickly leave the awful bodies and made their way to the dark road.
Cloak also brought the cute looking rat along with them, which Viper was strongly against. Said decision lead to them having an long arguement, which resulted to Cloak winning in the end due to Viper getting bored at her relentless insistence.
