OOC: IT CONTINUES...

"Hello, asshole." Wolf said as he leveled the sub-gun at the General.

"Greetings to you too, deserter." Kreish responded as he spun and drew a Golden .357 Magnum Revolver and leveled it at Wolf. "The police uniform doesn't really suit you..."

"Well, that uniform suits you quite well you traitorous bastard." Wolf shot back.

"Traitor is such a harsh word...I prefer, circumstantial ally."

"Explain how it is that you're not dead and you're now working for Mastermind." Wolf said, wagging the TMP for emphasis. Behind Kreish, Wolf could see Jade and Monk moving up behind the General, but they had stopped now. So far, Kreish hadn't noticed them.

"It's quite simple. When you shot me...I more or less died." Kreish said. "However, Mastermind managed to get a hold of my body and revive me with some nanites. As soon as I awoke, he had a proposition for me. As long as I work for him, I'd be able to get my revenge on you, Jade, and the rest of the Cyber Force."

"And what does Mastermind get out of that, besides our deaths?"

"Well, basically after you all die here, I get to reassume command of Cyber Force, and eventually lead the rest of them to their demise. Of course, If I don't do this Mastermind shuts off the nanites keeping me alive, which would kill me...but oh well."

"So...you decided to sell out humanity to satisfy your personal vendetta." Wolf said. "Well...I can't let you do that, and I've got 30 friends in this gun here who are willing to help me stop you."

"Heh...even if you do get off a shot, what makes you think I won't fire first?" Kriesh said. "And this isn't any ordinary magnum...no. Mastermind has upgraded it with a special barrel that will always propel its shots with lethal force, no matter where they hit. I doubt even you will survive one shot from this cannon."

"As long as I kill you...it won't matter what happens to me." Wolf said.

"You won't do it. You don't want to leave Kaitlin behind here all alone...do you?"

Wolf scowled.

"I knew it. So now here it stands; your attempt to rescue Jade and keep her out of Mastermind's hands has only resulted in her capture. And instead of keeping the Cyber Force safe, you have just managed to turn them and yourself over to me. Calmly...cooly...entirely without incident."

Wolf gripped the TMP tightly.

"No...not without incident." he said.

Moving as fast as he could he lofted the gun towards Jade while he reached with his right hand and drew his Omni-Falcon. The Omni-Falcon and Kreish's magnum roared almost at the same time. Since Wolf had done a quick draw, his shot only managed to slam into Kreish's right shin, causing the general to stumble and drop to a knee. Kreish's shot however, plowed into Wolf's chest, the force of the blow sending Wolf flying backwards into a wall, where he slumped down in a heap.

But, even as Kreish tried to stand back up and grab the TMP-75, it sailed over his head and headed right for Jade.

Jade caught the gun and in one fluid motion pointed it at Kreish's head. "Dodge this!" She fired one clean shot into his head. A trail of blood left his forehead as he slumped to the ground. A wheeze left his mouth. "Still alive are you? Not for long." Jade then proceeded to unload the clip into Kriesh's chest without flinching. She then spat on his carcass and dropped the gun. Running over to Wolf she knelt by him, "are you ok?"

Wolf stirred and slowly got up into a sitting position. "Yeah...I'm fine." he said to Jade as he reached underneath his NYPD uniform and extracted a flattened .357 round.

"He didn't know I was wearing some of Knight's nanoarmor under this." he said, pointing over at Kreish's bullet riddled corpse. "It stopped the bullet from even harming me...of course...kinetic force still hurts like hell."

He stood up and looked over Jade's handiwork "Hmm...nice job. All 30 bullets hit. Nice to see you haven't lost it. Let's just hope that Nancy Sinatra was right when she said 'you only live twice'."

Wolf picked up the fallen general's magnum and holstered it. Rifling through the corpse's pockets, he found two reloads for it, both on speed loaders.

"Excellent. This should come in handy soon." he said as he pocketed the ammo. He then took out his .45, ejected the taser rounds from it, and loaded up the lethal bullets. He then reloaded the TMP-75 with another clip of lethal rounds, and handed the .45 and the TMP to Jade, along with the extra clip for the .45.

"You asked for guns earlier...here ya go." Wolf said. "Now, we should get out of here, becuase things are really getting ugly." A few explosions from outside punctuated his statement.

he then got a quick message out to Devin. "We're coming out of the prison...what's your status?"

Of course, due to jamming, it came out as "...Coming out...what's...status?"

"On our way, ETA 1. LZ status?"

And of course, the jamming mangled it into "...On...way...1...L...status?"

Monk's eye twitched as he saw the general's corpse lying in the ground, blood and guts everywhere.

It was really a sight to see. It was all a beautiful mess, the way that the blood was sprayed all about the body, the holes that let in a nice view of the human body, well, what was left of it anyway. Monk knelt down and moved a flap of skin covering the General's chest, one piece that wasn't gone. Tossing the magled scrap away he smiled as he saw his heart.

Lifeless.

How he wanted so to rip it out and squeeze the organ in his hand, watching all the blood squirt out of the veins. He would then toss that aside and work the rest of the anatomy, checking parts and taking a close look at them, finding out just how they work by taking them apart, or quashing them so that the General couldn't come back.

The bastard...

The once cool headed man shot his head up and looked around. What was wrong with him? After the scan of the area, he looked himself over, the black Outfit he was weating, the dragons running up and down his legs, them bleeding...

Others blood.

He hadn't taken a hit all day today, common practice for a myth like him. Myth like me? No... I destroyed him. He is gone from my life! Why am I reverting back to him? Falling to his knees, the blood a comfortable mat for his knees to sit. Why do people have to die?

(( For being the current XO, I sure don't have a lot to do... O.o ))

Wraith checked a few readouts and went over to Devin's side, stumbling because of the way the jet was swishing about. Waiting for Wolf's answer, he put a hand on the instrument panel next to Devin and leaned in.

Angel snapped over the comm, "Cry for Kreish later, JUST MOVE NOW!"

He didn't know how much came through, and he didn't care. Two bullets fired out from a window somewhere below him. Moving as fast as he could, he ran at the edge, attached his line, and leapt over, sailing a good two meters past.

The pendulum effect got hold, and whipped him back at the building. Mouth agape, the Death Squad sniper saw Angel whip at him. Angel smashed through the window, kicking the man flying back. There was a clicking as he shot the man twice, then the bullet jammed. He emptied the chamber, and slung it aside.

Calmly, he pulled out his launcher, pulled the stock out, and aimed with a smoke grenade. A squad of about 25 Death Squad were trying to pin Wolf and crew. Angel fired the first smoke grenade, reloaded in record time, then dropped a second.

"Buying you cover right now, boss man."

Still attached to his line, he reloaded his G36C, then jumped out the window again. Except this time, his feet hit stone, and he sprinted down the side of the building, firing at any Death Squad he could see. It didn't kill them, but force them to get down.

"Hey, Wraith, we're expecting four people, right? Wolf, Angel, that weird monkish guy and your ex-boss, right? If that's the case, I'll need to prepare an extra rappelling line. I was expecting 3 people, but then Angel went and jumped the gun... Take over for me, willya?"

Devin bounced out of the seat and went tot he cargo compartment, grabbing a length of cable and attaching it to a fourth miniature winch, then connecting a stirrup to it so they wouldn't have to shimmy up the thing in fins like Devin used to.

Wolf made a mental note to beat the living hell out of Angel later for shouting into the CODEC, which sounded roughly like a bomb going off inside his skull, and then he realized that they really did have to get out while the smokescreen was still up.

He looked back at the catatonic Monk, and he almost sighed out loud. Why does this always happen when we least want it to? He thought. He grabbed Monk and slung him over his shoulder.

"We can talk him out of this later," he said to Jade. "Right now we need to clear an LZ and get the hell out of dodge." With that he started running towards the smoke. He tapped his shades, bringing the IR feature back into play.

Firing the Laptop Gun one-handed, Wolf dropped 3 Death Guard. Seeking cover behind a DOC hummer, Wolf placed Monk on the ground out of harm's way, and went back to shooting. A couple more Death Guard fell, then Wolf barely missed being flayed alive by a Death Guard trooper weilding a flamethrower. Wolf ducked under the jet of flame, and then knocked the flamethrower aside with a kick to the enemy's right arm. Then Wolf punched the soldier in the throat, and with one nano-augmented roundhouse kick sent the trooper flying across the courtyard. Wolf drew his Omni-Falcon and lined his sights up on the flying Death Guard soldier.

"Burn asshole!!!" Wolf shouted as he fired, his bullet piercing the napalm tanks on the trooper's back, incinerating him and bathing the concrete in flame, catching a few more Death Guard in the inferno that followed.

Wolf contacted Devin again, noticing that the jamming wasn't as strong anymore. "We're near a rather big fire in the central coutyard. I need you to land near there. LZ is hot, in more ways than one."

Going back behind cover and laying down a line of fire with the laptop gun, Wolf waited for the Phantom to arrive.

Angel reached the bottom, and jumped off the wall, simontaneously unhinging his line. This tossed him through the air and landed him right behind the most immediate Death Squad.

His gun transformed into a roar of gunfire as he gunned them all down. Shouting was heard from behind him, and he yanked out his launcher and fired another smoke grenade to cover himself.

Quickly he dashed over and jumped and slid over the hood of the hummer before being roughly dropped next to Wolf. He scrambled over to a better spot.

"Hell of a time, eh?"

He reloaded his G36, then peeked over. A second troop-transport was making landfall.

"How many of these guys does Mastermind have?"
