After my and Elizabeth's little moment, we input the code in the elevator. As we descended down, it was clear that this place was going to hell in a hand basket.
The remaining founders were trying to hold back the advancing Vox, but they where just too outmatched. "At least they're not shooting at us." Elizabeth commented as we watched the carnage unfold.
I silently agreed, up until a rocket collided with the elevator next to us and stopped ours. The glass shattered as we tried to regain our balance, "You where saying?" I asked over the sound of the ringing in my ears.
Jumping onto the skyline, we headed for the roof of the pavilion, we'd have the high ground so the only way they'd get up to us is by the skyline.
Aiming down the sights of the burst gun, I popped off two Vox members who where reloading their weapons. I tossed a fire grenade down at the ground below us, finishing off the remains of the Vox.
"Handyman!" Elizabeth shouted out. At first I didn't see him, but he got my attention when he jumped down from one of the rooftops and onto a gunship. Crap.
"(Y/N) catch!" Elizabeth shouted, I turned and saw her toss a volley gun at me. Ok perfect! But it's not going to do much good if I don't get a clear shot at its heart.
Oh hell. I got a dumb idea.
Jumping onto the skyline, I fired a few of the explosive rounds at the handyman. He turned and looked right at me, he went under the skyline and hopped up and grabbed the rails. As he sent a electric current through it, I dropped down to the ground. The man had left his weak spot open for all to see.
I released the remaining rounds of the vollygun into his heart plate. When he fell from the lines onto the ground I took out my hand cannon and finished off the rest. When that was done, me and Elizabeth headed to the gate to Emporia.
As she picked the lock, my heard filled with dread at the words she said to me. "About what happened back there," I started, "Lets not discuss it." she interrupted, not wanting to bring up the matter.
"Elizabeth... what did that thing do to you?" I asked. Elizabeth shakily took a breath, "If you where to bring me back... that's death (Y/N). Or something so much like it I can't tell the difference."
As she finished lock picking, I gave her a tight hug, surprising her, "You are not going to die. I swear it." her eyes went wide at my proclamation. "Ja-"
"I won't... Elizabeth, if it came down to I would rather die, than let you..." I couldn't bare the thought of losing this woman. If she died, I... I wouldn't know what I'd do, I would weep for her, I'd cry, I would just... deny it I guess. But accept it? Never.
Elizabeth leaned into my embrace, "Okay... but I don't want you to die either. Okay?" she asked. I shook my head yes. Pushing through the gate, we continued on our journey to Comstock House. But I didn't know if I could keep my side of the promise. One way or another, Elizabeth is getting out of here, with or without me.
...
Emporia was, as Elizabeth told me, the more high society part of Columbia. It was clean, crisp, and fancy. Keyword: was. The place looked bad, the streets where littered with god knows what, but I didn't let my guard down for a second.
As we where about to cross a bridge, some snipers decided to intervene. Elizabeth spotted them shortly before they fired their first shot at us. We ducked behind a sign for cover, it wasn't that durable, but it would work.
Peeking out, I nearly had my head blown off. "They have us pinned down. No way we can get around." I told her, Elizabeth bit her bottom lip as she tried to come up with something.
