Looking down at the remains of the Crow, I felt another wave of nausea come over me. Luckily I kept myself from hacking up my food. Rolling over the body, I found a handful of silver eagles and some machine gun ammo.

Looking at the coffin on the man's back, I opened it to find a bottle with a crow head on the top, it was labeled 'Murder of Crows'. New vigor, more higher chances of survival. Uncorking the top I took a sip and nearly spat out the drink, you know how cough syrup tastes like? The kind that's really strong? Yep, go drink the whole bottle and you'll know my pain.

After I finished the drink, my brain did another set of cartwheels. I steadied myself on the tree. When I felt something on my hand, I looked down to see a crow with some meat in its mouth, "Oh that's just what I want to see to calm my stomach."

Before I could shoo the bird away, the doors to the room burst open soldiers filing out, without thinking, I shot my hand out towards them, my hand turned claw like and birds came out of nowhere and attacked the men, pecking out chunks of skin and trying to eat their eyes.

Yeah my gag reflex is pretty good, everything considered.

I regained my composure and fired at the stunned soldiers. Taking their ammo, I headed out the back door. Thank god too, I was about ready to set this place on fire just for fun.

...

In the distance I saw Monument Island, I was almost there thankfully. It looked like the quickest way there was through the station. Using freight hooks, I made my way through the sky, I landed at the steps to the station and headed inside.

Opening the door, I checked to make sure the close was clear for now. It made sense that the government would shut down the stations so I couldn't move. If I had to, I could probably make someone take me to monument island. Approaching the terminal, I found that I wasn't alone in the station.

On the far side of the room, there was a turret along with the bulk of the soldiers, two of them where sweeping the terminal in search of me.

Ducking behind a pillar, I raised my machine gun at the turret, I opened fire and watched as the machine exploded. The soldiers where taken by surprise so I sent a fireball at the ones at the far end of the room, it only killed a few but I wasn't complaining.

The two who where after me charged, clubs in hand, using the crows, they where stunned long enough for my machine gun to fishing them off.

Switching to my pistol, I ran out from cover and popped them off, my shield being strained in the process. When the last of the soldiers fell, I headed for the door leading to the tracks.

...

I exited the terminal to see these crazy roller coaster looking lines span through the sky. And at the end of it was Monument island.

I saw a airship docked at the platform and I hopped on it, the automated man at the bow came to life, "Attention! Monument Island is closed. Workmen should proceed by means of the skyline."

Skyline? I looked towards the metal tracks in the sky. No. Hell. Fucking. No.

I've done some stupid shit while I've been here, but this! No! I'll fall to my death for sure!

But looking at my options, I didn't have a choice.

"This is gonna kill me." I said as I took out my skyhook. I backed up a little and ran alongside the lines, I jumped and let the skyhook do its thing.

When t gelt the familiar tug on my arm I smiled, it actually wor-oh shit!

The skyline was basically a rollar costed, but 100 times more dangerous and exhilarating! I had the biggest grin on my face as I flew through the air, "WHOOOOOOOO" I yelped as I sped up.
