บท 68: Offensive
Everyone mulled over the information about their targets Crystal had given, most were confident in the mission, but a few with more experience were wary. People usually didn't live long enough to make a name for themselves in Night City, those who did, did so for a reason. Be it their intelligence, skills, or even simply their contacts.
There was also their rank amongst the Tyger Claws to take into account, one didn't simply get 'promoted'. From what he'd heard, you had to fight and scrape your way up, backstabbing and conniving all the way. That or have a contact within Arasaka to earn you protection.
"We got any intel on the building itself? How're we heading in? The NCPD headquarters are only a mile or two away..." Ori questions, knowing the cops would be on them not long after the fighting started.
Crystal nods, allowing her holophone to begin showing various pictures of the place, displaying doors, exits, windows, and even common guard positions. Most of this would be useless as soon as they got inside however, their lack of information on the interior of the building all but forcing them to go in blind. "This ain't an infiltration gig, we go in guns blazing and kill our way to the prisoners. No mercy, no stragglers, and no surrender, understand?"
-------------------
Ori tunes out the rest of the planning Crystal and the Moxes discuss, adjusting the Smart Scope Judy had gifted him, and checking his LMG's ammo and other parts, a jammed gun in this situation might just kill him and his friends.
He checks his pistol another dozen times, chewing his lip as he counts the bullets once more. Eventually though, they reach their destination. The van creaks as it comes to a stop a couple blocks away from the Tyger Claw building.
"Area clear." Crystal reports as they begin shuffling out the back of the truck, "Keep this thing hidden, we'll need it as a getaway once we're done." she orders, the driver giving a short nod in response.
"You guys ready?" Rebecca asks Ori and Six, stepping between them with a grin on her face.
"Always."
The Tyger Claw building itself was a two-story office building that was placed in a rundown district that'd been heavily damaged previously by a riot. The large windows had all been shattered and covered over with planks and metal, the wire fencing around it rusted, tangled, and clipped presumably by scavengers before the Tygers moved in.
There were makeshift cameras all around the building, along with Tyger Claw guards who boredly patrolled the area. No one else was in the area, most to scared of the gangers to risk a confrontation, which was a good thing, as they wouldn't have to risk civilian casualties.
Crystal hugs a corner of an alleyway overlooking the building and nods to one of the Moxes holding a sniper. They take aim, everyone tensing, ready for action...
*BANG!*
A Tyger's head explodes from the high-velocity sniper round, punching a hole into the concrete wall behind them. Before the body even hits the floor the Moxes moved, all running out of cover and spraying bullets at the confounded guards who hadn't realized their situation yet.
Two go down with a spray of blood, while four others throw themselves into cover, most having taken damage from the ambush. "Sore wa kuso midaradesu! Arāto Manaka-sama!"
"Karera wa baishunpu no tame ni koko ni imasu!" another shouts in response.
"Shut the fuck up and arigato you slaver bitches!" Rebecca interrupts them, sliding behind a car they were using as cover and sticking Guts over the bonnet, allowing it to press its barrel into the face of a frozen Tyger Claw. "GOMENASA-" the man shouts in complete fear but gets cut off... Or blown apart to be more accurate.
*BAANG!*
His entire head, neck, and part of his upper torso turn to bloody mulch as the shotgun fires, sending both the corpse and Rebecca falling to the ground from the blast. She laughs as her back hits the ground, quickly springing up and firing another shot at the dead guy's partner.
The guy throws the car's door open in an attempt to block the shot, but the birdshot penetrates it and hits him anyway, bringing with it metal shrapnel from the door. The guy stumbles backwards as blood drips from his chest, dropping like a rock not long after as Six nails him in the face with his revolver.
"Hey! That guy was mine!" Rebecca exclaims, only for the merc to run past her, taking up position next to one of the backdoors, waiting for someone to come through.
Ori kneels next to Rebecca behind the car as cover and notices some of the planks of the boarded-up windows on the second story getting shifted. One's pried off, revealing a Tyger Claw attempting to get a high-ground advantage... Unfortunately for him, Ori's weapon wouldn't be blocked by just some wood...
*DAGAGAGA!*
Bullets tear through the other wooden boards, hitting the guy behind them and showering the room in dust as metal strikes the walls and roof.
Crystal and the other Moxes had already breached the front door, fighting their way into the long hallway which the Tyger Claws were using as a choke point. A couple Moxes had already gone down, but Crystal rectifies the situation by throwing a fragmentation grenade down the hallway.
*BAANG!*
[We're in! Wipe these fucks out and find the prisoners!] Crystal reports over the comms.
*Crash!*
Two Tyger Claws hoping to flank the Moxes barrel through the back door, only to get clotheslined by Six, then executed by Rebecca with two quick shots from Guts.
"Come on! The fun's waiting for us inside!" she beckons Ori as she follows Six into the building. Ori takes one final scan of the area before joining them, not wanting to get shot in the back by some sneaky Tyger Claw ninja.
The trio pause however as the building's intercom turns on...

บท 69: Digit-less
"Zan'nen. You Mox have made a dire mistake in coming here, but I am a merciful man. Surrender now and I will allow you to live and not bring another force to that whorehouse you claim as home." a man, presumably Oyakawa Yoshi, states over the intercom.
"Oh, really?" Rebecca exclaims towards a nearby camera, "That's a very generous offer! Here's our answer!" she raises Guts and blasts both the camera, along with part of the wall into dust. "Fucking douchebag."
"Well, let's hope we don't lose then." Ori utters.
"Hmph! As if we'd get beat by these furry ass holes!" she remarks as she steps forwards into the hallway. A dozen doors lined the wall on the left, but none of them was sure if that was where they were supposed to be going.
They check them regardless, as the prisoners could be being held anywhere... Most had nothing of interest inside however, storage rooms, stripped clean offices... They did find a group of passed-out Tyger Claws who'd presumably gotten too high and drunk during a poker game.
Rebecca, in all her sadistic wisdom tied the group together along with a grenade, meaning once they woke up and tried to separate they'd join their friends in hell. Not something Ori would've done but she seemed to think it was justified. Oh, she also stole their cred chips from the table, as if to add further insult to injury.
After that they ran into a few more Tyger Claws that'd been separated from the battle Crystal was waging. They spotted the stairs leading both to the basement and the second floor, but were abruptly interrupted by the sound of something in the vents above them... A blur of speed that Ori's eyes couldn't track later and someone appeared in front of them.
*CLANG!*
Six stuck his arm out before anyone could react, saving Rebecca from having her head split in two by a tanto-like weapon. Unfortunately, the woman wasn't only using one... Rebecca tried to shift away, along the tanto to skid and scratch Guts' barrel, but it still struck true.
*SCHK!*
"AAAHHHHGH!" Rebecca screams as she drops guts, her four fingers on her right hand falling to the ground, leaving only her thumb still connected.
*Bang! Bang!*
*Thud!*
Six tries to retaliate by firing some shots at the attacker, but she kicks off Rebecca's chest and flips through the air, dodging the projectiles. Ori catches his bleeding friend and sends a baleful glare at the woman.
"Omae wa mō shinde iru." she states, flinging both of her tanto at Six before bursting into motion again, her hand dropping to her katana.
Six shoots one out of the air while slapping another to the side with her other revolver. He fires another shot at Manaka, she deflects one with her blade but takes two to her chest... Unfortunately, her subdermal armour prevented any major damage from being done.
Ori raises his LMG and fires a spray at her, but she slides to the left which brought Six's body in the way, preventing him from continuing without incurring friendly fire.
"Kill that fucking bitch!" Rebecca growls, stepping back from the fight while cupping her mutilated hand. There was no way in hell she could fire Guts with only a single hand.
Ori tosses her his pistol just as Manaka reaches Six. She slashes at his mouth, the only visible part of his face, but he blocks it by bringing both arms up, allowing the blade to dig into his Cybernetically enhanced forearms.
"Yowai! You face a woman and still lose in strength!" Manaka growls as she strains against Six.
"You're... A woman?" Six grunts in a vain attempt to taunt her, this only brings an eager grin to her lips however.
Ori steps forwards as this happens, firing a shot into the Tyger's side, she grimaces slightly and turns her eyes to him, causing him to freeze as a feeling of dread overtakes him.
His eyes widen as his arms raise the LMG in front of him, just in time to block the bisecting slash of Manaka... What the fuck!? She just vanished and reappeared to attack him!?
"Sandevistan!" Six exclaims, unloading the rest of his bullets at the woman as she easily dodges them as her form blurs.
"The fuck is a sandevistan!?" Ori retorts, unleashing the full force of his weapon down the hallway, forcing the woman to retreat, kicking off of the wall and sprinting up the stairs.
"Who cares! That bitch cut my fucking fingers off!" Rebecca shouts, gesticulating her pistol at the digits on the floor.
"Military-tier Cyberware, makes the user incredibly fast for a few seconds." Six states as Ori picks up and pockets Rebecca's severed fingers.
"Super speed?" he questions, baffled. "Why doesn't everyone have one of those then!?"
"Ugh... 'Cuz most people who use 'em go psycho not long after." Rebecca explains, "That bitches muscles are probably torn to shreds right now."
"After only, like, two uses!?"
"That's if she's lucky... Now come on! Let's kill her and go, maybe we can get my shit reattached." she ushers them on, after wrapping a bandage tightly around her stump-like hand.
"Don't you wanna go now? Leave it any longer and-"
"We've still got a job to do, my shit can wait!" Rebecca states, unwilling to leave now.
"Fuck 'Becca, this is serious!" he exclaims as he feels blood drip from his pocket and down his leg, her severed digits leaking warm fluids.
She jabs her pistol at him, "And I'm serious! We ain't leavin'!" she states, stomping up the stairs with Six beside her.
"This is fucking crazy..." he mutters as he follows, having no idea what Rebecca was thinking. If he were in her state he'd be a lot more worried, even if the nanites could potentially grow him some new digits...
He does make sure to sling Guts over his shoulder, as pissed off as Rebecca is, she'd be more so later if they accidentally left it behind.
