The Fallen | Risen Book II

Chapter Ninety Eight

The Battle For Fallen Pt.4
Jayce Slade

"Follow my lead" I ordered jumping through a government building window, but not any government building window, I stood in Major Skeleton's office.

I raised my riot shield and hid behind it from the onslaught of gunfire from further down the hallway.

Beta and South jumped through the window behind me and Beta flipped Major Skeleton's desk over and took cover behind it.

Beta raised his LMG and blind fired from behind the cover in the direction of the guards.

"There's too many of them!" Beta shouted.

Kiera was still out there, leading the major fight. But I brought a very small team in here to look for Ryder, Maya and Karma and hopefully to kill Major Skeleton.

South peeked over the left corner of the desk and fired a few shots with a SMG

"We can't hold them for long Jayce, what's the plan?" South asked.

Truthfully I was out of ideas, Charity called in and already said that Max is too weak to do any crazy power stuff for now. Cleaver was fighting the giant Hydra outside, Ex was with Cassi and wasn't even in this area.

That's when I heard music playing through the governments intercom system.

  "Robert's got a quick hand" the music started, we all stopped shooting in confusion, what the fuck was going on.

"He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid. Yeah found a six shooter gun. In his dad's closet hidden oh in a box of fun things, I don't even know what. But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you"  The music continued

Suddenly down the hall, someone kicked open a door holding his signature slug gun. It was Cyblow singing along to the chores as he unloaded on the guards shooting at us.

"All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun"  The song continued 

The guards were dead and South, Beta and I stood from our cover. I handed the riot shield to Beta who was much more built to carry that thing.

We ran to Cyblow's side. He was still whistling along with the song

"What happened to Cleaver?" I asked.

"She's getting her ass kicked out there, she was protecting me and threw me through a window nearby. I figured I'd get some proper tunes going. Turns out the Hydra is bullet proof, we'll need strap some of Shane's C4's to it" Cyblow explained.

"Later, first we need to find Major Skeleton" I ordered.

Cyblow, I could tell by his facial expression that he didn't like that idea at all, but he nodded and agreed regardless.

We ran further down the hall.

"Where would Major Skeleton hide?" South asked to us. The Pumped Up Kicks still playing over the intercom.

I thought it over, like the president in a time of crisis he would hide in his bunker. Besides it would make the most sense considering that the Hydra was just released and only someone with the access codes would be able to do that.

"The Vault" I answered as we turned a corner. We turned to see several guards outside of a elevator which was missing a chunk out of it's door. Standing with the guards was Elliot Sureshot Rivers.

We all pointed our guns at each other.

"So we meet again Cyblow" Elliot spoke.

Cyblow, surprising lowered his gun, he didn't drop it, he still gripped it tight, but wasn't pointing it at them anymore.
