Wasteland.(Aarmau AU)

Chapter 36: Ivan's Last Stand

Aaron opened the door the the station, laughing and goofing of with Aphmau, who was behind him.

When he stepped in, his blood pressure went through the roof.

The place was ransacked, every cabinet was open, every window. And every nook and cranny was filled with junk.

They searched the house for Aurora first, they had missed her on their outing.

She wasn't there.

Impact and Luna were beside the crib, whining loudly, and next to them in chairs were Garroth and Laurance.

"Where-" Aphmau was about to finish, when she saw the tears in their eyes.

"They took her, Oh God, they took her..." Garroth couldn't finish his sentence. He had resorted to sobbing.

"What, Garroth? What happened, where's Aurora?!" Aaron sprinted over to them, not caring about his ransacked house. He wanted his daughter.

"Here, T-They left this..." Garroth handed him a handwritten note, and Aaron's heart dropped.

Hey Love, Long time no see~

I want to see you again, it was awfully fun playing our little game, though I do admit that you weren't supposed to survive and be happy afterwards, I hoped that you would die alone like I planned. Oh well, We've taken your little girl, oh she's fine, but she'll make a wonderful addition to Ivan's collection when she's older~

P.S Bring the girl

Best wishes,
Jennifer and Ivan.

In the back was an address that he knew, it was close to where he first found Aphmau. And his insides boiled and he was filled rage.

"It's a trap. Ivan still wants Aphmau." Aaron said, his fist balling, and Laurance looked at him.

"Your not going." He said to Aphmau, and then turned to Garroth and Laurance.

"Watch her, make sure she doesn't leave." He grabbed his leather armor, and his energy rifle. And then grabbed his mask.

"No, if you go alone, you won't come back." Laurance said, standing up.

"I don't care." Aaron replied, his rifle flaring to life.

"You're willing to kill yourself to get revenge?" Garroth asked, holding back Aphmau from keeping Aaron there.

"No, I'm willing to kill myself for my family, for my daughter." He looked down at Aphmau and looked her right in the eyes.

"And for you." He slipped down his mask, gave a tiny second of hesitation. And turned around and kissed Aphmau, hard.

He then ran out the door, knowing exactly where to go.

After he was out of sight, Garroth let his sister go. And gave her his sword, and her old pistol.

"Give 'em hell for me." He gave her a hug, and she nodded, and ran out the door after Aaron, she saw the address. And knew where to go.

Laurance tossed one of his swords at Garroth, who caught it, and he grabbed his shield.

"Let's go."

Aaron was sprinting to the address on the paper and when he reached it. He turned on his heat vision goggles.

He scanned for Aurora's heat signature. And he found it, deep below ground in what he could only describe as the basement.
