Chapter 8: Why bring any army, when you are the army?
Three days have passed since the request I had received from padre, and things have been calm to say the least.
Well, except the fact that I am now a wanted man, thanks to another Animal gang. It turns out, the Animal gang isn't one big gang, but in reality, they are like the packs of animals, making the strongest their alpha, or leader.
So not only did I have a wanted list for my head, I had to deal with a gang and mercenary's at the same time.
"I guess I won't have a normal life anymore,
I'm now a wanted man, and a one man army." I held the cup of coffee in my hands and took a sip.
"This is my new normal." I then closed my eyes and sighed, enjoying the peace and quiet of my new home.
I had some music playing in the background to make my home feel more comfortable for me, but it didn't last long when the radio began to glitch.
I was curious on why it was acting like this, since the radio I bought shouldn't have any problems, unless the guy from the tech store lied to me.
However, the radio returned to normal, continuing the music. I only shrugged at the small problem and continued to relax.
But I had one thought that ran through my mind, I was about to take on a gang by myself.
Not only that, I had to watch my back constantly in order to not raise the alarms. Sure I could sneak in, but I was used to in buildings, not in the streets.
Meaning I would have to switch my strategy when it came to poisoning them, I had a few ideas on how, but I feel like some of them are flawed.
One way is to walk in normally, blend in with the people and have my snakes shrink. Then by walking by, I can leave a small scratch, injecting the poison.
But what if they feel the pain and know it was me? They would try to make a big deal out of it, and shoot me.
I could disguise as one of them taking them out from the inside out, but from what I had gathered, the sixth stree gang is entirely comprised from veterans.
Solders from war, so they could have a system on how they can identity which war each person came from.
Finally my third option, have the snakes do the work. That was an immediate no, since I didn't want to have my skills slowly deteriorate.
So I decided to just walk in myself and take them all out, not only do I get free money, but resources as well.
The only problem I had, was net runners. Sure I didn't have much implants, but I stilll don't know how they work.
For all I know, they could try to hack me and cause some damage, so I had to figure out a counter measure against them.
I could maybe look for an implant that could prevent any netrunners from hacking me, but I didn't have much time to look for one.
So, I decided to just face the music and see what could go wrong. Only this time, I decided to walk towards the location, in order to not get my car stolen.
Only this time, I made sure to have a backpack to hide my suit. I didn't want to walk out on the streets like last time, so I went with something more bland.
I wore a yellow tank top with some black shorts, for my shoes, I had some running sneakers, and finally, I wore some headphones that hung from my neck.
As I stepped out onto the streets, people didn't bother taking a glance at me, since I looked more poorer than normal.
Even the gangs that walked the street ignored me, not even taking a second glance. So I knew I made the right choice on what I wore.
'Now, time to get to work.' I thought to myself and began to head towards the current location of the sixth street gang.
While walking, I had my snakes scout out the area so that I could plan in advance. The location they stayed in was a small warehouse that was three story's tall.
On the top was two snipers, scouring out the surrounding area. While inside were ten guards, some had pistols, shotguns, and assault rifils.
Three rooms were located on the top, five in the middle, and the ground floor was a large work area, where a few cars were parked inside.
Inside and out, were cameras that moved side to side, making sure to see every spot. Each one having identification system to see who is known, and who isn't.
Outside in the front were fifteen guards, all switching spots every five minutes, while at the same time, there's a man in the third floor in one of the rooms.
An office that has a window looking into the street, he would occasionally contact the rest of the guards for a report, making sure no one was unconscious or killed.
In that room was a computer terminal, which is where the control is for the camera and alarm.
Finally, first floor on the west side was an alarm next to the door that is marked as an exit, which was also underneath the camera.
With this, it was time to identify the flaws in the security. One, the snipers aren't enough, they can't see everything all the time, only having their backs against each other.
Two, during those five minutes, I could slip in between each shift, since they'll only facing in front, not behind.
Three, PTSD, I could creat a nose, triggering one of them of the fights they experienced, which could cause a commotion.
Four, the vents, since the snakes can stick to any surface, I can have them slip inside to disable the cameras and alarm, preventing them from calling any reinforcement.
Now onto the planning, since the office is the only place where I can disable the cameras and alarms, I had to send the snakes inside and turn them off.
Once the cameras were turned off, I could send the snakes to take out the leader in the office, not only to prevent any commotions, but to silence them.
Two, before I could enter the warehouse, I had to deal with the snipers, I didn't want to be seen instantly as I made my approach, so I had to get those two eliminated.
Three, as the five minutes are up and they switch, I will move behind the guards, quickly injecting them all with the poison.
Once I had taken out the guards from outside, I could find a way to climb up and enter from the ceiling, to take out the guards from above, and work my way down.
"That should be everything with the planning stage, now time to exicute it." I muttered and entered an ally to switch my clothes.
Once dawning my clothes, I had my snakes pull me up onto the roof on one of the buildings that was across from the location.
As I reached the ledge to pull myself up, a barrel was all I could see. And behind the barrel, was one of the gang memebers of sixth street.
"Well, well, well, look what we have here, boss is gonna like this." I mentally slapped myself on forgetting the most important thing.
Check the surrounding area.
Not only was I pulled up, but I had the snakes flee to not be seen. Now, I was being dragged inside the location I was supposed to sneak inside.
'Well, it could be worse.' I thought while walking inside, every guard had their guns aimed at me, all placing their fingers close to the trigger.
In front of me was a large man, implants on his face and legs, arms included. His eyes were implants as well, his optics narrowing at me.
'Me and my mouth.' I thought and was forced to kneel, my hands were forced behind my head.
"So, your the cobra we've been hearing about, acting high and mighty for walking to our base, and with no implants." He sneered while looking at my body.
Hearing this, the rest of the guards began to laugh, all seeing how defenseless I am. I couldn't help but feel pity to them.
Luckily, I had my mask on to prevent them on seeing the look I gave them, since not only was I going to do something stupid, I was about to go loud.
"Well, it dosent matter, not only do we get the money, but we'll be able to take out the Valentinos." He then lifted his fist and aimed it at me.
His entire forarm opened up, and a large barrel appeared. I widened my eyes at the contraption that appeared, and only one thought ran through my mind.
'I want that.'
I could hear something was about to be shot, and I instinctively laid flat on the floor, the shot missed me completely, hitting the person behind me.
Obliterating the middle torso, where a large gaping hole was now seen. To my sides, were two guards that looked at the man, with his torso gone, which was enough time for me to punch the air, sending the two rings to fly off.
Where the snakes jumped onto the both of them, biting them on their necks. The screams of pain was enough to snap them out of their shocks, the leader aimed the cannon at me again.
But I raised my lower body and used my arms to spin, kicking his arm away. The shot then flew towards another guard, obliterating the upper body.
"Y-you son of a bitch, that was my brother!" Shouted the leader, who then raised his other hand that held a shot gun.
I pulled my fist back, and snakes instantly fell from above, all coiling around my hand. I then grabbed the barrel, where the shot rang out, only for the barrel itself to break.
"My bad, how about I take you to him!" I replied and reached for him, only for him to blur away.
"I don't care if he's torn to shreds, kill this fucker!" He shouted, all the guards pulled the trigger, I instantly ducked behind one of the cars.
I could see the bullets passing above, shooting the wall in front of me, some even piercing it.
I sighed and moved slowly to the back, making sure I could peek around the corner, only to pull back when I saw some of the bullets nearly hit me.
"Guess I get to experiment." I muttered and called my snakes, they instantly made their way towards me, changing their figures into guns.
"Time to pick." I said and grabbed two, both changed into submachine guns. I then had a few snakes form a clone of me, which also held two submachine guns.
The clone soon ran in one direction, attracting all the attention of the guards. While I ran in the other, flanking them from behind.
"T-the hell?! There's two of them!" Shouted one of the guards, seeing two of me, some of them aimed towards me, shooting at me.
But I had already had enough time to raise both guns and pulled the trigger, and I had to admit, I sucked.
The recoile was something I didn't expect, since I never used any guns. Meaning, my arms instantly shot up the second the bullets flew.
So, I tossed one of the guns away, letting the snake to change back and allowing it to take care of one of the guards who snuck behind me.
I then gripped the one gun in my hands and aimed and pulling the trigger, this time, I was prepared for the recoil.
My aiming was better, since I had both hands on the gun. But it was still bad, since I had to keep moving.
I had to slide in order to avoid the guard in front of me, she tried to aim at me as I slid underneath her, but I aimed faster and fired.
The bullets slammed into her, piercing through her body. I then stood up and began to run while firing again.
I kept firing until I had depleted all the bullets, and as soon as I heard the gun click, I threw at the nearest guard.
The guard raised his arms to block it, not to expect it to change into a snake, coiling around his arm, where it squeezed hard enough to break it.
As the guard screamed, the snakes coiled around the entire arm, guiding it to fire at the other guards.
As the tail of the snake pulled the trigger, bullets began to fire, heading towards one of the guards.
"Fuck, what are those thing?!" Said one of the lucky ones, she tried to move to around it, only for her to see me sliding in front of her.
"They're my little friends." The barrel was aimed at her, she didn't have enough time to react to dodge, only to get hit by the bullets.
My clone on the other hand was doing better than me, it ran towards one of the guards, tanking the bullets and grabbing the face.
Only for the hand's to break and multiple snakes biting into him, he screamed in pain, and aimed the gun, firing into the torso of the clone.
While the other guards fired at him and the clone, only for the clone to raise the body and spin.
Once it spun fast enough, the clone tossed the body, slamming into a few of the guards. The snakes then formed the hand again, and soon jumped onto the second floor, rushing towards the guards in front.
Back with me, I was doing slightly better, since I was able to reach another one of the guards.
They resorted to fighting me close combat with a knife, they tried taking a few swings at me, trying to slice my face.
I dodged a few times, barely getting hit. But when he tried to stab me, I grabbed his arm and judo throwed him over my shoulder.
Slamming his back onto the floor, his grip on the knife loosened, giving me the chance to grab it, as soon as he lost grip of the knife, I raised it and stabbed him right in between the eyes.
Once I removed it, I threw it across the room, where a guard was standing, only for the knife to lodge itself right between its legs.
She then landed on the ground face first, her ass sticking up in the air. But before she could do anything, the clone landed on her.
Crushing her skull underneath its foot and grabbed the knife, where it then jumped onto the second floor, then jumping up to the third.
It grabbed the railing to pull itself up, and twisted its body to spin. Mid twirl, it threw the knife at one of the guards who was reloading.
When they tried to aim and fire, the knife landed directly onto the barrel, splitting it in half.
Before they could do anything, the clone grabbed its arms and jumped up. Pulling itself onto the guard, the arms were ripped off, leaving the guard….
Armless.
As the arms were tossed onto the floor, I grabbed both of them and used them as bats, smacking the leaders arms.
When he raised one arm, I used the limb to smack it away. When the other arm rise, I used the other limb to smack it away as well.
He then raised both arms to shoot me, only for me to slide down and used the arms to smack him in the balls.
Only for him to look at me with a sneer, he lowered both weapons at me and was about to fire.
Only for me to feel something pull me back, where the clone took the force of both weapons.
As the two shots rang out, the clone bent at an inhumane angle, twisting its entire upper body to launched me at the leader.
"T-the hell are you?!" He shouted and tired to aim at me, I grabbed his face and flipped behind him, where I placed my back against his.
"The devils servant." The clone then jumped on top of him, and bothe hands broke off, turning into snakes.
All the heads began to bite him on the face, eyes, mouth, lips, and even jaw. He tried to push the snakes away, but both arms broke as well.
Multiple snakes holding the arms back, the leader could only scream and struggle, only for him to become more tired, and soon, lifeless.
The clone then began to break, the snakes all dropping onto the floor. I shoved the corpse off my back, and sighed.
Around me, where multiple corpses. Blood, intestine, and implants scattered across the floor.
"Well, it's best to start looking around and looting." I had my snakes begin to come inside, tearing the corpses to get the implants.
While others looked for money, I had some of the snakes form a chair behind me so that I could sit.
My heart beat was pulsing in my ears, my hands were shaking, and I was sweating. I felt like I had taken something, that made me feel alive.
"Is this what, adrenalin feels like?" I asked no one, the feeling soon began to fade away, leaving me exhausted.
"I don't like it." Was the only thing I said and sighed.
