บท 45: Warehouse Raid
Ori kicks open the door and Six steps inside, ready to take the brunt of whatever defences Marv had set up. Strangely, when they step in they see a communications room, with monitors on the wall with camera feeds, a regular office desk, and two people sitting in chairs facing the door.
"Marv." Ori growls at the man on the left who was sitting nonchalantly with his legs folded. As if he wasn't about to get shot by three angry mercs. The guy didn't even blink as Six, Ori, and Rebecca pointed their guns at his face.
"Ori, how's the family?" he smiles 'kindly' back, holding his arms at chest height and showing his empty hands.
"Fuck you!" he angrily spits in response.
Marv tilts his head, "Language. What would your parents think?" he questions smugly.
"Are you insane? You do realise how close you are to getting domed', right? You creepy-lookin' asshole." Rebecca states a scowl after cocking her shotgun, pushing out an unfired shell to add further intimidation.
Marv acknowledges her with a shrug, "Yeah, so? Dyin' ain't that bad, or so my priest tells me. Guy probably doesn't realise where I'm going if there is an afterlife. Besides, I doubt I'll get another chance to mock you rag-tag dick-heads." he glances at Six, "That buddy of yours kept his mouth shut, even after we tore out his tongue. Be proud he only started screamin' when we get below the belt."
"Mother fucker!" Ori grinds his teeth while noting Six's hand visibly trembling in rage as he holds his gun. "I ain't gonna kill you... I'm gonna strap you down in that fucking basement and harvest you like you did to Max!"
Marv chuckles, "How're you gonna do that? You're runnin' outta time." he states, his eyes minutely twitching to the person sitting still at his side.
The others had ignored him until now, not seeing the nerdy, weaponless guy as a threat, not more than Marv at least. They were wrong however, which they realised as soon as their vision started crackling.
"N-Netrunner!" Six rasps, attempting to aim his revolver at the man when his arms fall limply, his Cyberware failing him.
Rebecca was having a similar reaction, her colourful shotgun falling to the ground as she grips her head and lets out a pained shout.
The only Cyberware Ori had was his interface which most people had, but unlike last time with Sasha, the nanites had worked out a countermeasure against this sort of assault... His distorting vision instantly cleared up as the nanites disconnected the Interface from his brain, allowing him to spot Marv drawing a pistol from behind his back.
Ori raises the LMG to fire at him but receives a couple bullets to his arm, causing him to drop it. Another bullet hits his leg, forcing him to kneel.
"Hm? You broke through the Daemon? Weird kid." Marv remarks as he aims the gun at Ori's head. "Say hi to your daddy for me."
*BANG!*
*Thud!*
*BAAANG!*
...
Marv looks down at his hand, or what used to his hand... He looks back up at Ori who was lying on the ground with Rebecca's shotgun, a deep gouge running along the side of his head, above his ear.
It takes a couple seconds for everyone to register what'd just happened, until finally... "FFUUUUUUAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!" Marv lets out an agonized yell as he falls backwards, tipping over his chair as blood squirts from his mangled forearm.
The Netrunner's eyes widen as Ori turns his attention to him, he stands and holds his arms up pleadingly, "Hold on, wait-wait-wai-"
*BAAAANG!*
The shotgun lets out a second blast, this one hitting the guy at center mass and almost cutting him completely in half from the force of the pellets. Some of the camera monitors behind him shatter and spark as they're hit too, sprinkling the Netrunner's corpse with embers as it falls beside the whimpering Marv.
With him dead, Six and Rebecca are released from the hack, both slumping slightly as they attempt to recover from the ordeal, breathing hard breaths.
Ori slowly gets up as the wounds on his arm and legs slowly heal with help from the nanites. His arm was still bleeding, but the worst damage hadn't even come from Marv... His entire arm had been dislocated from shooting Rebecca's shotgun and was now hanging limply.
He ignores the screaming Marv and glances at the pale-chibi, "The fuck is wrong with that thing," he points at the gun with his still working arm, "You swap out the gunpowder with C4 or something!?"
Rebecca gives him a subdued grin, still reeling from the hack-induced migraine, "N-not my fault you can't handle it... You'd need my Cyberware to not break using it..." she lets out a long breath and tiredly shoos him with her hand, "Now deal with the screamer, you were sayin' about 'harvesting' him?" she ventures.
Ori nods, turning his attention to Marv. He limps over the shattered remnants of the guy's pistol and stands over him. The scav glares up, stifling his pained whimpers in some attempt to retain his pride...
"Laugh it up kid. Sometime soon, you're gonna find yourself in the exact same position. People like us, we're all goin' to the same place." he grits out through the pain.
"I don't know about that. Does hell accept package deals? Cuz' I'm sending you there in pieces." he harshly states before attempting to apply a Tourniquet to Marv's arm. He couldn't have him bleeding out so soon. Only to pause when the man starts chuckling, which quickly devolves into full-blown laughter.
"Hahahahahaha! I told you kid! YOU'RE RUNNIN' OUTTA TIME!"
Ori, Six, and Rebecca turn to the cameras as the sound of engines reaches them... A whole fucking fleet of vehicles had just parked outside the warehouse courtyard, all printed with Maelstrom tags. "Oh, shit..."
"What're they doing?" Rebecca questions as three people get outta the lead car, one pushing two emaciated, heavily modded men forwards.
"You ever wondered what happened to those people we kidnapped?" Marv quietly asks with a shit-eating grin on his face, "Those two out there might be the last of your fam."

บท 46: Whirlpool...?
Ori watches as the two mutilated people begin walking forwards... The AI-controlled truck attempts to fire at them with its turret, but a dozen sniper shots go off, destroying it completely.
The duo's eyes had been replaced with the trademark glowing red open optical sensors most Maelstrom members had, which were a marked improvement to most other alternatives, while also making you look completely inhuman...
Their eyes shine and a big red light on their chests begins pulsing, they grip their heads momentarily before breaking into a sprint, laughing manically as they do so.
"HOT HOT HOT! I WANNA BE ONE WITH THE SUN HEHEHEHAHAHAHA!"
"I AM THE SUN! I AM ART!" they both ramble as they run at the truck, "BECAUSE ART IS AN EXP-" they throw their bodies onto it and-
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!*
Both of their bodies erupt simultaneously, utterly annihilating the truck and everything around it, leaving a huge crater in their wake.
"NOOOOOO!!!!" Rebecca shrieks, gripping Six to stop herself stumbling to the floor, "MY FUCKING GUNS!" she wails as all the guns she had stored in the truck go up in flames.
"HAHAHAHA! TAKE THAT YOU DUMB BITCHES-"
*BOOM!*
Rebecca retaliates by blowing Marv's head clean off, leaving only his neck remaining as it releases some last couple of squirts of blood before stopping entirely. "SCAV TRASH! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT SHIT WAS WORTH!?" she angrily shouts as the corpse, as if it still had ears to listen with.
Ori just blankly switches between staring at that and the monitors, his mouth agape and mind running in circles... "R-Rebecca..."
"WHAT!?" she angrily shouts, but pauses when she sees Ori's look of utter disbelief, she looks back down at her foot which was resting on the corpse when it clicks, "Oh shit! Ori I'm really fuckin' sorry! I didn't-"
"STOP. We need to leave." Six growls, his eyes locked onto the monitors which showed the Maelstrom gangers slowly approaching the warehouse.
Ori releases his trembling clenched fists at that, he grabs Max's LMG and quickly makes his way to the door, "We'll talk about this later, Rebecca. Let's get Max outta here first." he states as Six nods.
Rebecca sends one last punt at Marv's corpse before running after the duo, "I said I was sorry!"
------------
The trio, now under threat of getting stormed by a small army of Maelstrom goons quickly make their way to the basement where Max's corpse lay. While Six fished him out of the bathtub, Ori gets to work searching for anything of worth...
Since Maelstrom had turned up they'd probably steal everything and leave nothing behind... He'd need to pay eight thousand Eddies to Six and five thousand to Rebecca, leaving him with little to find his sister with...
Thankfully, the scavs weren't exactly secretive with their things in their own workshop. He'd quickly found a freezer full of Cyberware, all sealed in plastic bags and ready to be sold. He shoves all of them into a duffle bag that presumably belonged to one of their victims and sends a nod at Six and Rebecca. "We good to go?"
"Yeah, we gonna shoot our way out?"
Six hoists Max's body in his arms, carried in a princess hold, "Through the back, too many to fight."
Ori scratches the back his head while ignoring the pang of pain in his recently reset arm, "We'd just get chased though, we've got no ride outta here."
"Escape and head North, try to reach Kabuki... Maelstrom won't follow if we get close enough to the market..." Six states.
"That's like a thirty-minute walk!" Rebecca exclaims.
"Do you have alternatives?" the quiet merc grouses.
Before anyone can say anything the building suddenly shudders and rumbles from some sort of explosion.
"What's that!?"
"Maelstrom, they detonated one of my charges." Six remarks.
"Then let's dip before they bring the place down on us!" Rebecca says as she makes her way to the stairs. Ori and Six follow, and luckily the warehouse was still almost completely clear of Maelstrom gangers which they got back to ground level.
All that was present were a couple Maelstrom meat shields that were searching for more charges, their masters obviously unwilling to risk getting blown up for a scav workshop. Ori shoots them dead with his LMG, and the trio quickly rush for the backdoor.
Ori runs through first, his eyes widening at the four Maelstrom gangers standing nearby keeping watch.
"Hey, what the fu-"
*BANG!*
Rebecca blasts his head away, before running over to the next and slamming the barrel of her shotgun into their stomach, pulling the trigger and making it rain blood from a couple seconds.
Ori guns down one but the other manages to escape around the building, shouting for reinforcements. "Fuck!" he yells, angry that he'd just made their situation even more difficult.
"Forget it!" Rebecca responds as she looks at the wire fence blocking their way. The top was lined with barb-wire, making it difficult for Ori and her to get over, and impossible for Six with Max's body in his arms.
"Move." Six states, raising his foot and stomping on some metal links. A loud screech rings out as the metal fails under his strength, the links deforming before finally snapping, creating a waist-height hole to get through.
Rebecca goes through first, then Ori. Six rests Max's body down and the duo pull it through, but just as Six was entering, bullets sound out and spark off of his metal back. He ignores it, getting through and picking up Max again as the duo return fire.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN FUCK AROUND IN BRICK'S TURF!? GETTEM BOYS!" one goon shouts, his arm opening up to reveal a heavy-duty barrel.
*BANG!BANG!BANG!*
The guy's arm kicks back with heavy force as he fires, .50″ bullets kicking up dirt around the group as they flee through the street.
Six takes one to his side, causing blood to fly and spatter onto the nearby ground. He simply glances back however and activates the rest of his charges.
*BOOOOOOOOM!!!*
