บท 71: Bearing Down
Ori looks up from his wounds and at the bloodthirsty swordswoman who licks her lips almost lustfully at the sight of his blood. She takes another step forward to finish him off as he stumbles backwards, his legs sluggish from the damage he'd taken to his abdomen.
*Bang!Bang!Bang!*
"TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF YOU CRAZY SLUT!" Rebecca roars from the side, firing her pistol at Manaka. The shots hit, one striking her in the side of her head which causes sparks to jump from the impact as the bullet barely bounces off of her reinforced skull.
Her arm takes the rest as she raises it however, bullet-punching holes into her bicep and tricep, forcing her arm down to her side, completely unmoving. In response, she throws her katana at Rebecca who barely ducks under it, but follows and sends a flying kick at the pale girl.
It lands heavily on her chest, throwing her into the wall behind her with a loud thud, Rebecca moves her head to the side as Manaka's fist punches a hole into the concrete wall, kicking dust and debris as she pulls it out of her structure.
As this happens, Ori pushes his visible intestine back into his body, not knowing if the nanites could pull it back in quickly enough to make him combat-ready. It's fucking gross, and probably would've been agonizingly painful had his pain receptors not been turned off... It didn't stop him from wanting to throw up at it however.
Blood oozes from the wound but quickly coagulates, the nanites expediting the healing process a thousand times over. With that, he looks up just in time to see Rebecca throw two uppercuts at the woman pinning her to the wall, her injured hand does little damage, but the other was still holding a pistol.
*BANG!*
The gun fires as the barrel get punched up under the rib Manaka, bypassing her armour and dealing a devastating wound, though, Ori was judging this by the scream she gave in response. She backs away with one hand gripping the wound as blood liberally dribbled between her fingers, a look of incredulity on her face as if she'd not expected this...
"HOW'D YOU LIKE THAT BIT-" Rebecca shouts but her head gets knocked to the side as Manaka's form blurs and begins unleashing a huge combination of punches on her, her sandevistan allowing her to grant a super-speed enhanced beatdown.
Five to twenty punches at her chest, fifteen at her face, some knees for good measure... Ori wasn't able to keep track, regardless though, he raises his weapon and fired at the woman, blasting her away from Rebecca who slides the wall with bruises forming all over her body, and blood staining her lips.
Ori slowly steps toward Rebecca while continuing to fire upon the downed Manaka, her body spasming and twitching as bullets tear through it. By the time he stopped the barrel of his LMG was glowing bright red, and he'd expended most if not all of his ammo.
He drops the gun and kneels next to Rebecca, checking her over to make sure she wouldn't die in the next minute. She just grins at him however, displaying her sharp, blood-stained teeth, "Coulda waited a bit longer, she would've scored an ultra combo on my ass." she jokes sounding utterly exhausted.
"Yeah, well, she almost gave me a fatality so, we're even." he states before looking over to where he could still hear fighting, Six was still brawling with Oyakawa Yoshi, his black Cybernetically enhanced body covered in numerous scratches, and even some gouges that allowed blood to trickle from the wounds.
Oyakawa's four spear-like arms rotated like a hurricane of metal, stabbing at Six so quickly Ori found it difficult to keep track, even with the outside perspective. Six was doing well however, both revolvers still gripped in his hands as he used them to deflect, strike, and sometimes block attacks.
The Tyger Claw's suit had been torn and bloodied, four distinct bullet holes in his chest which stained the nearby fabric black.
Six grits his teeth as he tangles the man's left arm and brings his elbow down on them, breaking the thin metal limbs in half while also allowing two attacks at his side. Oyakawa doesn't miss the opportunity, stabbing his remaining two spear-like limbs into Six's ribs, punching through his armour and causing blood to spatter.
The merc grunts at the impact but ignores it, turning against the limbs and pistol-whipping Oyakawa so hard that metallic teeth are sent flying out of the suit's mouth. His legs turn to jelly momentarily after being rocked, but he recovers enough of his senses to start pushing himself backwards along the floor, away from the fucking furious-looking Six.
"You're dead!" Six snarls while dropping a foot on the man's chest and grabs the metallic limbs before tearing them completely off, drawing a pained roar from Oyakawa. Six then drops his full weight onto a knee, driving it into the man's stomach before starting to slam his fists into his face.
*THUD!THUD!THUD!*
"FUCKING*THUD*SLAVER*THUD!*SCUM!*THUD!*" he growls, baring his teeth as blood from Oyakawa's mulched face splashes against him.
*THUD!THUD!THUD!*
Ori took rested Rebecca on his shoulder while slowly making his way to the enraged merc, "Six!"
*THUD!THUD!THUD!*
"SIX!" he shouts, causing prompting the man to pause his blood-covered fist in the air. "Get a hold of yourself! He's dead, and the cops'll be here any minute!"
"Heh.." Rebecca huffs weakly in amusement, "Did you have to end the fun so quick?"
Six looks between the mutilated corpse and his fist, shaking his head before getting to his feet. He lets out a strained breath and sighs, "L-Let's go."
The group quickly shuffles towards the stairs, the sirens blaring in the distance only quickening their paces. They spot Crystal and the others exiting the basement, drawing looks of concern from the Moxes.
"You guys look like shit!" one exclaims, eyeing the absolutely blood-covered trio.
"We can shoot the shit later, we need to delta!" Ori urges.
"The targets dead?" Crystal questions.
Ori just sends a 'no-shit' glare, wringing his shirt slightly and allowing crimson fluid to stain the ground.

บท 72: Cat's Outta the Bag
Ori didn't need to tell Crystal to get them to a Ripperdoc, since they were already gonna head to one with the doll hostages. Still, to him having Rebecca's fingers reattached was far more important than getting some doll chips ripped out.
The van stunk of blood, mainly from the trio but the Moxes and hostages were also adding to the smell, the latter also tainted with other unmentionable fluids from their unpleasant time in the Tyger Claw's care.
"So you zeroed Oyakara and Manaka, how'd it go?" one chirpy Mox asks, despite the fact a quarter of the people who'd attended this mission were dead, with their corpses stuffed into the corner of the van...
"Oh, y'know, we challenged them to rock-paper-scissors and had the loser shoot themselves in the face. We won, obviously."
"You're... Being sarcastic, right...?"
"NOOO, YOU THINK!?" he retorts sending spittle at the rebuked girl.
"Hehehe, you're funny when you're like this... Ori..." Rebecca quietly giggles, bruises now apparently across most of her body.
"You be quiet and save your breath for the doc." he states, wondering if the blood loss was finally hitting her.
She just smiles at him and holds up her right hand covered in bloody bandages, "I'm gonna need your help from now on y'know..."
"How's that any different from usual?" he retorts, placating her.
Her lips twist into a mischievous grin, "Jilling off's gonna be hard without these fingers..."
"Oooooh" some of the Mox in the van coo, laugh, cackle, or perform a multitude of the former at that.
It takes a moment for Ori to mentally categorize what 'Jilling off' meant, but once he did his face flushed completely red. "Your fingers are cut off and you're making masturbation jokes..." he mutters completely confounded. He shakes his head, "Okay, we're talking about this later when you're not dying of blood loss."
Ori glances at Crystal who was just watching the scene with amused eyes, "How long we got?"
She shrugs, tapping her ear as if to draw attention to the sirens still blaring nearby, "NCPD are still tryin' to chase us, we'll probably circle past Northside and back to Kabuki. Twenty minutes at the most."
Ori chews his lips, looking down at Rebecca... That felt too long to him... There wasn't anything he could do about it thought, only sit at her side and attempt to apply pressure to her hand to stem the blood.
---------------------
Finally, the truck screeches to a halt inside some dingy alleyway in Kabuki, no far from Lizzie's Bar. They all jump out and Ori carries Rebecca, following Crystal as she leads them into the nearby building and to the Ripperdoc who was already waiting for them.
Not waiting another second, he dumps his friend on the medical chair and pulls the four, rather lukewarm fingers from his pocket, shoving them into the man's chest. "Reattach them, quickly!"
The doc sputters as he looks down at the digits but nods and begins inspecting them. He does so for about a minute before nodding, "They're still viable, but you'll have to keep the hand wrapped for a couple months at least." he states, knowing well that a merc's lifestyle wouldn't allow something like that.
Rebecca's face faults despite her anaemia, "What!? Fuck that! Toss them in the trash and gimme some metal ones!"
Ori just blinks at her, "'Becca, what the fuck! You can get them reattached, good as new!" he exclaims, shocked at her willingness to discard pieces of herself.
"And be outta a job for months? Hell no! I've been meaning to get an upgrade anyway!"
He turns to the doc, "She's anaemic and not thinking straight, just knock her out and reattach them."
"No!"
The doc wets his lips, "Sorry young man but, I'm not going to piss off what is perhaps the most volatile young woman I've ever had the displeasure to meet..."
"You heard him lampost! Piss off and mind your own damn biz!" she angrily shouts.
"Listen, you're not thinking straight-"
"I said get OUT!"
...
Ori shakes his head, silently stepping out into what could only be called the waiting room, closing the door behind him. Clearly, Rebecca wasn't in any mood to be sociable, not that he could blame her, she'd been beaten to a pulp and lost her fingers... He lets out a tired sigh and drops into a chair, glancing at the woman slowly awakening. It was one of the hostages, the doll groaning as she holds her face, waking up.
"Uuugh... W-what happened...?"
"We saved you..." he quietly answers, resting his weight on his knees.
She smiles slightly, as if getting rescued wasn't a big deal, "Have a spat with your output?"
...
"You're pretty calm for someone who's been through hell..." he wonders aloud.
"Ain't my first rodeo..." she squeezes her temples, "Name's Yelain... You?"
"Ori."
. . .
He glances at her, confused at the sudden silence. "Something up?"
"... Ori, as in... Orville...?" she tentatively questions, freezing him in his place... There were maybe only two people left alive who knew about that... Bats, and...
"If I said yes...?" he forces out, tone harsh.
"Then... I would say I'm sorry... For your loss." she states, causing him to clench his fists hard.
"Explain... Now."
"I met many girls in that place, you only saved the ones who didn't get sold... Cat was one of them..."
"No... No, you're-... You're fucking lying!" he growls, feeling his heart drop.
"They sold her to some Tyger Claw creep two weeks ago... I dunno his name but I remember his face well... If you wanna get back at him." she states, resting a hand on his arm in an attempt to comfort him.
"I want to know everything." he breathes, "Leave nothing out. I wanna know what fucking that guy's fucking nose hairs look like, tell me, everything." he grouses.
She nods, "'Course, I want nothing more than to have all of those pieces of scop-shit skinned alive. Hell, give me a gun and I'll join you when the time comes."
