Blood Red Shadows
Chapter 46: Act II, Chapter 19: The Knights Myriad Part II of III
Previous Chapter Next ChapterJäger stared into Alex's eyes with murderous intent, swinging the lead pipe at his head.
Alex blocked it with Electric Fury's blade before converting it into it's rail gun form.
Jäger then ducked, swinging hard for Alex's chest and denting the armor. Alex coughed, raised Electric Fury, and fired every shot the railgun contained at Jäger's head, leaving decent sized holes in his head and warping it into a flat, six-holed liquid-metal pan.
The abomination of nature re-morphed it's face before he simply threw the pipe at him like a javelin.
Alex narrowly dodged the pipe before it was embedded into the wall nearby. Swinging the blade through Jäger's midsection before going all 'Metal Gear Rising Zandatsu Mode' and chopping his enemy into a million liquid metal pieces.
Exhausted, Alex walked out of the room only to have to dodge a metallic spike. Turning around to find his adversary rematerialized.
"You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?" Jäger scoffed.
Alex turned around, both revolvers ready to fire.
"Actually, for a second there, yeah. I kinda did." Alex retorted.
The metal spike liquefied and slid under Alex's boot before returning to Jäger, who pulled out his own sword, jagged at one side, wickedly sharp, and a meter and a half long, he pointed it at the super-soldier.
"Let's dance!"
----
Mako slid, dodging a barrage of missiles and returning fire, blowing up other missiles easily.
"It's no use! Fall back!" Twilight ordered.
"No! Wait!" Kat yelled back, still fighting off Red Star infantry that were still fast-roping from the top of the ship.
"DIIIIIIE! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Delirious screamed, still hacking enemies with a hatchet.
"RED BULL GIVES YOU WIIIIINGS!!!" Vanoss yelled, Cloudchaser was pulling him up above her, throwing him in range of the enemies still dropping in.
"THIS IS THE FIGHT OF A LIFETIME! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Haunting seemed to flourish in the battlefield, his two spears serving as mere extensions of his hooves as he sliced away infantry.
"Two, three, six, and nine! Shit! Surrounded!" Frost counted, blowing them all away with an SMG.
Just then, a massive amount of ponies in Royal Guard uniforms came pouring over the hillside, there seemed to be no end, they numbered in the thousands.
"HERE COMES THE CALVARY!" Mini laughed.
Then, Mako saw blurs from above, and Rainbow knew who they were.
"The Wonderbolts?!"
"In my armor?!" Vinyl gasped, pride edging her voice.
'Atlas One-Two-Six, you are clear to engage!' her radio crackled.
"Oh, my god!" Mako realized.
"Yep! Let's take this thing down!" Kat smiled broadly, the barrel of her sniper rifle now smoking.
"We got the gang back together, boys!" Wildcat yelled, firing an RPG rocket that met a missile in midair, causing a decent-sized explosion.
----
Jäger was launched inside the engine room by Alex, who was still fighting him.
Panting with exaustion, Alex holstered his revolvers, and sent electricity directly to the gauntlets on his armor.
Jäger staggered up, only to be met by Alex's armored fist.
BZZZAP!
The gauntlet collided with Jäger's face, generating a huge spark on contact.
Alex just kept punching and punching before holding both of his hands, as though he were about to swing a golf club, and delivering a devastating uppercut.
Jäger was blown upwards, colliding with the ceiling before falling down and meeting the stairway.
Coughing, Jäger picked himself up, noticing too late that Alex had stabbed him with Electric Fury, now glowing red-violet and shocking him.
"You...you will never win.." Jäger coughed.
"Never, you say?" Alex panted, upping the voltage on his blade.
Alex charged, slamming Jäger into a red-hot engine, melting his back and even the front a little bit.
Planting a foot on his enemy, Alex pulled the blade out, now partially melted, and irreversibly damaged.
Alex then pulled out .44 Scratch, firing all six rounds at his enemy, now nothing more than a silvery puddle on the ground.
"Give my regards to Winchester, you son of a-"
BZZZZOW!. The final shot all but incinerated Alex's rival, Alex himself was now tired.
"Finally..." Alex sighed, sweaty in the burning-hot room. He opened up the Pocket Dimension, went inside, and came back out with a familiar device.
The EMP.
If all else failed, he grabbed the control, meant to detonate it on a timer if he were to not be there.
Placing the detonator in his pocket, he ran out of the room and started up the stairs, hopefully by now able to get back to his allies. He had to hurry, they may already be dead.
He charged up the stairs, killing any soldiers unfortunate enough to be in the way. He didn't care, his friends were out there!
Running just near the runway, Alex was suddenly knocked on his back by another Inquisitor.
Epsilon, AKA Iron Talon.
"You really have a death wish if you think you can destroy the Knights Myriad. This ship has been here for ages, boy!" The griffin sneered.
Alex staggered up, .44 Scratch in hand.
"I do have a death wish, Talon. Yours!" He cried out, firing at the Inquisitor Leader of the Rogue Guard.
Alex dodged a reinforced claw, slamming hard into the mythical Eagle-Lion thing, and shoved it out the door.
Epsilon staggered up, screeching in fury before latching onto Alex's back and ripping the flight mechanisms, Machine Guns, and rocket launchers to shreds. Alex screamed in agony and ripped the Inquisitor off his back.
He lashed again, this time to be met by Alex's gauntlet and blown backwards.
"I will tear you apart!" Epsilon yelled, charging at Alex and tearing apart what remained of his armor.
Now Alex's Overcharge armor was destroyed, the visor cracked and revealed deep blue eyes, the armor now bloody through the claw marks on Alex's back.
Alex took off the armor, revealing dirty hunting gear and bloodstained blonde-ish hair. The boy was wounded badly and was going into shock, staggering down and holding in his wounds
"I will end you!" The griffin yelled again before getting blown away by green energy blasts, the Inquisitor getting knocked backwards with every shot before a very large bullet ripped through his cranium, falling onto the battlefield below.
Alex coughed up blood and was struggling to crawl away before whatever killed Epsilon got to him too.
F**k! A large explosion blew up next to Alex, who was now rolling haphazardly near the edge in shock. He found himself unable to do a whole lot as he nearly fell off the ship itself.
What the?! Something was grabbing him by the satchel and pulled him up, his vision was blurry and the blood was in his eyes, so he could not identify his savior. He definitely heard something, though.
"Alex? Wake up!" The person screamed as Alex continued to try and hold in a wound on his gut.
Another blur went up to the first, looked at him and back at his savior.
"He's hurt bad. I don't know if he can make it down by himself." The second shook it's head.
"He has to! We didn't come all this way to find him like this! Alex!!" The first screamed as he continued to writhe in agony.
