Iron-Head and Co.

13 | Creaking Boards

Tony stepped into the wooden manor and took a brief look around. He saw nothing but darkness and streaks of light exposing dust that had been floating in the air. Delirium had told him to go to this house. Tony was forced to bring a revolver with him, Delirium told him it was for self-defense but Tony wasn't fully convinced. Tony walked slowly on the creaking floorboards as he searched for any evidence that Rose and Alex had been somewhere close. 

A robot in a black coat appeared. The figure pulled out a knife and attempted to swipe at Tony, Tony ducked right as the knife grazed his hat. Tony flipped around to the other side of the man and stood up, Tony pulled his gun from his hip and pulled the trigger on the man in the black coat, the bullet pierced his metal flesh like a hot knife through a sheet of thin paper. As the cloaked figure fell to the ground Tony began to throw up due to the sight of blood. As Tony was furiously vomiting three more cloaked figures swooped up and grabbed him by the arms

"WHERE IS DELIRIUM IRON-HEAD!?" said Dr. Ignis as he shot another bullet in the air

Rose and Alex said nothing, they just stared him down

Dr. Ignis sighed and turned to Rose

"you seem like a competent woman," said Dr. Ignis as he lowered his gun, "just tell me where Iron-Head is and this will all be over."

Rose looked at Dr. Ignis coldly

"I don't owe shit to Delirium or Arnold," said Rose, "and if you would have been a bit nicer maybe I could've given you a little bit more information."

Rose scooted her chair up to where Dr. Ignis stood

"I would rather die than serve degenerate scum like you" she whispered

Rose lurched forward with the velocity of a train car and dented the doctor's forehead, his unconscious body fell to the floor with what sounded a dozen metal buckets falling down a well. Alex grabbed the gun from Dr. Ignis's hands and pulled the trigger on his neck, oil spurted out like chocolate down a seven layer cake.

"at least that is over," said Alex as he continued to claw at the door.
