Nick heard the commotion behind him, he quickly turned around noticing the figures through the walls, he quickly held his breath to go help Rox, he put his bow on his back and changed his hands into claw-blades, he rarely used them but this was the moment, he entered the cloud of Gas he charged against a Rat-Man that tried to attack Roxanne, Nick had dug his claws into its throat, then he turned his right hand back into a normal one to hold one of Roxanne's arms and began to flee out of the cloud of Gas towards the house, there he does not see any life form through his thermal vision
"Yeah I am."
In that, in the distance they both can hear a explosion
"Ah I see."
She kept coughing as they went away into the house, till Rox would eventually fall to her knees on the way, she felt dizzy and gasping as if she was out of breath
The Doctor soon returned to the building, entering it again through the exact same window he had exited from.
"Alright I might have to go by myself for this one! You got my back Rani?"
"I do, lets save those civilians" She says, ready for the future battle that would come as she descended next to Garrent, the rat men for their part were already moving in the darkness of those tunnels, dragging Nick and Roxxane to their lair underground
in order to get prepared for some attacks, Garret set up some turrents just in case.
With that said, Anthony started the engine and when Jael got in, they began to retreat using the chaos, the trip luckily did not have any problems for now, there was only 1 hour and a half of travel left to return to the base. (can talk each other or just skip @AThe1412 @ZoroNotZolo )
"Don't apologize for something not that of a biggie, choom..." Tosho shrugged with four of her arms, still configuring her stuff with Cy and it's mechanics.
"Huh? What the?...Hhnggh! Hhhnnghh!"
"I think we're not alone" he murmurs, hoping Tosho will hear him but not make too much noise.
When her eyes adjusted to the dim light around her, Roxanne heard that she was in some kind of church, mainly because of the incomprehensible murals that gave a vague sense of something religious, the figures were intelligible, but if she had to guess, it was what seemed to be a religion made something with the shape of a sphere, since it was the figure with the most relevance in the stone/clay paintings
"You don't say?" she asked, not sparing a glance apart from still clicking away at her own machinery.
"Rats following a belief of theirs...fantastic..."
"Well that explains it with the awful smell, quite a lot too"
"Nick...glad you are ok and not in a different room...."
"Oh no you dont...."
"Rox, Nick. How's your mission going? Jael and I are on our way back home. Arriving in approximately an hour and a half. We have a lot to discuss.", Doc posted on the group chat.
Nathan quickly reached for his pistol, it was similar to the old SIG Sauer P226, it was just a little bigger for its magazine and armor-piercing ammunition, he feel something is observing them, thing that Tosho should be capable to feel too
For now, Nick won't pay attention to any messages that come from the general chat
She was too busy to look the chat as well, let alone wouldnt hear it after the commotion going from the escape
She delivers a punch with her artificial arm, with all strength, swang all the way back beforehand right into its face, utterly breaking its nose, teeth and frontal face from the blow impact from her
The rat's body was thrown flying due to the force of the prosthesis, the rats quickly realized that going against both enemies, each armed with claws, was a bad idea, they decided to throw things at them, from vases, mud, arrows, rocks, spears, etc.
"Thanks for helping me...again...you know...its not the time for this i know that much but...i will let you choose a reward for later to your liking Nick...for giving me a hand earlier..."
"Ready" He said as he took the items and positioned himself, quickly analyzing the terrain with his different visions
Just chiming in here, but... some guy named Nathan is trying to tell me something's off, which - basing from all of the info I'm receiving - seems to be true. 😔 We need to get the ship going...She remained lax and kept typing on her phone, chatting with the others.
"What's the problem Tosho? Tell me-", the Doctor was typing but then he felt it. That horrible dreadful sensation... He had been trying to ignore it the entire day and had chalked it up to paranoia but just as he thought that it was gone, it came flying back. He decided to send a voice message.
"One.....two.....three.....GO!"
Nathan walked slowly towards the side until he heard the sound of an arrow. He quickly turned his head to the side, a cut across his cheek, he quickly fired in that direction as he ran for cover.
Anthony accelerated the vehicle until he saw the large structure that rises around a dozens of kilometers, he only stopped waiting for the doors to be opened after confirming their identities
Nick threw the arrows and spear with force, piercing and destroying several rats, however, the rocks stopped being useful when their enemy took cover, but now that they waited for Nick and Rox to run out of ammunition, the cavalry arrived, being rats that took out the weapons of the two, perhaps they do not have many and that is why they only used it as a last option
She would press the phone's voicemail function and sent a live footage of her looking at the screen. "Mic test, Mic test?" Ah... Ah... It's working.... Is it working? Hello....."
Casually, her speed was enough to make multiple Wire Strings into a shape of a net to catch the entire shower of them, her four arms working to block and parry most of them, while the two remained fiddling with her phone.
"Help is coming. Hope you can hold them long enough.", he replied.
"Head South.", the Doctor told their driver while showing him a piece of paper. 2 coordinates were written on it and he pointed at one of them, the one where the rest of the party save for Tosho were at.
"No time to explain. The general and others are in grave danger.", he responded before passing the guard the piece of paper.
She quickly puts her arm over the eyes to shield them and tells him immediately while still defending her sight
Nathan was shooting towards where he thought the arrows were coming from but soon discovered that they weren't just that, but also containers of Gas (this is important
), probably the arrows were the initial attack but with the purpose of making one isolate oneself in a place where the Gas can affect them("And who does this random think he is? I'd better lock you up" - in an alternative timeline if we were part of the American government from the movies lol)
"Yeah, okay, let's do it, i feel something big is coming!" Nikolai shouted, as he followed Roxanne, they had to act now because their enemies are stunned for a few moments
She gets him on her back to hold on and runs at the ones they aim for, pulling her arm in front of both, while lowering herself enough to not get by any chance shot as easily till they get close to the wielders of their weapon
The rats shoot but unable to aim or see anything because their senses were clouded, giving both the opportunity to get closer when Rox finally threw Nick quickly, causing him to fall and tearing the rat's throat out with a strong tug
Upon getting her hands on it she shoots any remaining bullets at those nearby Nick, to defend him till he got ready himself
He soon got his weapon after kicking a rat in the balls causing the rat to drop his bow, which he grabbed and beat to death, then held its shell and shot a couple of normal arrows
"You're asking me that? Keep watching the stream."
With it, the container on the Librarian's hand began to reform as C.Y.L.A.M. "Proceed with Elimination Order: Attack." Before the two orbs on Cy's body would lift the Gas up and send them flying. At the same time, she had Cy grab Nathan, her speeding up to escape the building.Nathan was shooting towards where he thought the arrows were coming from but soon discovered that they weren't just that, but also containers of Gas (this is important
"Roughly 9 shoots left...but dont worry, i wont waste any of them"
Eventually they both escaped, they didn't know exactly if the Gas tanks fell on the targets or not since they escaped but they are safe, they also begin to notice in the distance that people are taking shelter and there is movement to take them to a safe place
Nick was silent for a moment as he entered the group chat
