The Last Elite (Book One).

Chapter 8: Safe House

The Machine guns didn't stop, Raknash seemed to materialize from every where. As the ammo levels dropped the Raknash seemed to push closer and closer. Tiger Fang went onto the second level floor and started raining her explosive knives down on the Raknash for what seemed to be the thousandth time today.

"They're like cockroaches they just keep coming" came the flustered voice over the radio.

"Ya I know, i guess this is what we get for coming to this fucking rock" I growled back. Suddenly the shooting stopped and hundreds of Raknash came swarming to the door.

"Tiger Fang time to rock" I warned as i drew my daggers and began slicing through the oncoming Raknash ripping open stomachs and watching as intestines pink and stringy like stale string cheese come pouring out with gallons of green slime. I kept going cutting down what seemed like thousands. I didn't know how i was managing not even being touched until i slowed down and looked around. Raknash were coming through the windows and punching through walls and doors. Soon i was surrounded, the entire base was crawling with them and i figured Tiger Fang was probably just as busy as i was up there as i was down here.

"There is so many of the bastards" I hissed.

"Think we bit off more then we could chew?" Tiger Fang questioned doubt clearly visible in her melancholy tone.

"No, you forget, i still have my blade to use" I beamed.

"Are you seriously going to use it ?" came an eager response.

"I'm going to have to, they aren't skilled enough but they have the numbers" I stated in a monotone as i put my daggers back in my gauntlet and slowly reached behind my head and gripped the hilt of Silverscale. As quick as lightning the ceiling exploded and tossed me down the corridor and into the main command center of the outpost. As i shook off the blast and rose to my feet i saw Tiger Fang slashing her way to me. She looked like a purple flash as all i caught was the quick blur of her visor as she quickly killed of Raknash after Raknash.

"You think i was going to miss the legend finally going back into action" she smirked.

"Then does that mean i'm going to be doing all the work?" i taunted questioningly.

"Hell no if i can kill more then the legendary ghost of Backrendor, I would be the new legend" she laughed.

"Then lets go" I said, gripping the hilt again and drawing out the long slender blade. The room was instantly set alight in a pale glow that radiated from the sword. Raknash froze and stared not caring that Tiger Fang had already gone to work on them and was now slaughtering their ranks by the second. It was my turn finally, I lowered the blade til the tip was just barely off the ground at shot at them at full speed. The Raknash suddenly shook themselves from the fear but it was too late.

I lunged at the nearest Raknash and arched my arm upward viciously making a gaping hole going from the Raknash's ribs diagonally to the other side of his throat. I didn't wait to see what happened after, I quickly slid to the next hacking him right down the middle as i passed by. His body split in two and fell in a pool of green slime. I kept cutting and slashing til we had pushed them back to the door they had first come through. Tiger Fang had just reached the door when a black scaled fist came from a doorway beside her and threw her into the opposite wall leaving a two inch dent the shape of a clawed fist in her breastplate.

I whipped around and charged the black Raknash. He saw me and swung another fist straight for me but i quickly ducked under him and cut through his legs making him screech in pain and fall to the floor profusely bleeding all over the floor. I walked up to him and forced him to look into my eyes, then i stood up and drove the tip of Silverscale through his eyes and slashed to my left and went through his brain.
