Chapter 24: The Sacrifice

The two ran down the street and then they stop where the woman was taken. "Zeke said this is where the woman was taken to," Cassie states as she looks around. Cole looks around as well, "I don't see anyone." he states and she looks at him, "That's because we're not looking hard enough, but she had to be here somewhere." she states and he crosses his arms. "Well, it's not like she's going to be screaming for someone to help her." he states and she just narrows her eyes at him "Help! Somebody, help me! Oh my God! Somebody help!"' the woman calls out, the but looked at the docks, to the sound of the woman's cries.

Cole sighs as hated to be right, Cassie just smirks as she turns back to him, "Oh wipe that smile off your face." he tells her, she just giggles they both ran down the dock and then stop as the monsters came at them, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Cassie mutters as she fired at them, knocking them off their feet, Cole just looks at her as she pants then look at him, "What?" she asks and he held his hands up in a mock surrender. "Uncle Laroche? That you?" the girl calls out, they both walk over and saw a young woman, chained to the trees in front of the swamp, they took down the monsters and heard something growl in the swamp. "What the?" Cassie wanders as she looks at the swamp. "No, no, no!" the girl shouts as she struggles, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down." Cassie tells her and the woman looks down at her, "Get me down. Get me down!" she panics, Cassie looks at Cole and he shot the restrains, she gasps a little and drops to the ground. "You okay?" Cassie asks her, the girl picks herself back up and turns to them. "We gotta find Uncle Laroche," she tells them as they pulled her away from the swamp. "Why?" Cole asks her, "He's like you, he ain't afraid to fight the Militia." she answers him and they saw more monsters charged at them. They took them down and hurried onto the street. "Get down!" the girl shouts and they dock, dodging the RPG fire. "That girl was an offering. Her death would've saved lives you idiots!" one of the men shouted at them, "What happened to, protecting the innocent?!" Cassie shouts and they both fired at them and then once they were down the two continued down the street.

But only more of the monsters came at them and then Cassie sent a vortex right at them and took them out, then they crossed the street and into the alley, followed by only one monster and a bunch of maggots. "Jeez, what is it with you and these things?" Cole questions as he swung his Amp at them, taking them out. But one of them got that the girl, hurting her, then Cassie ran to her and heals her then pulled her back to her feet, and they continued to run down the alley and went to stop another, but it was fired at and this confused the two, so the ran down the all and turns to were the rocket came from, only to find injured people. "Please, you healed me, you gotta heal them, too! They're rebels. They work for my uncle fighting the Militia." she informs them. Cassie nods at her, walks up to one, then helps him, sending out a pulse that healed the others.

Then they jog out of the alley only to meet the Militia, "Ascension Parish is ours!" ones shout, but Cole took him down as Cassie pulls out her whip and cracks her electricity at the others, knocking them down. "Come on, Uncle holds court ahead in Leo Park," she calls out and they ran into the park. But the ground shook a little as a growl followed, "Okay seriously, what the hell?" Cassie questions as her whip were back on her hips. Cole just shrugs at her when they walk up to the girl, "Laroche! You here?" she calls out and then a man walks out and looks at her, "Sara! Sara!" he calls out, she ran to him, held his arms to her and she ran into them, hugging him, then she pulls back and looks at him, "It was so horrible. They tried to feed me to it." she tells him and Laroche exhales. "I understand why the Militia is making sacrifices, but not with my kin." he states, Sara thought more a second and then looks at him in shock and step back "What? You knew about this?" she questions him, he exhales knowing that he left it to slip. "Alright. you'll understand when you're older." he assures her but she shook her head at him, "I will not!" she snaps at him. "Now don't-" he starts but looks over her shoulder at the two Conduits as they were just standing there looking at them. "Sara, who you brought with you?" he asks as he points at the two, she looks at them for a moment then glares at her uncle. "They saved me," she states.

Then walks to them, placing her hand on Cassie's shoulder. "There were hundreds of those monsters. They fought them all." she states, Cassie smiles and nods at her and Sara looks back Laroche then she walks back to him, "They can do stuff like you never seen." she states as Laroche glares at them as he steps to the side, "The demon of Empire City and his demon spawn." he quotes and Cassie glares at him, "Harsh, bro. Harsh." she said to him with her hands on her hips. "Whoa, easy. We both want the same thing here... pretty much." Cole states as he walks past him and turns to him. "You want the Militia out of your house, Cassie and I are tired of getting shot at. What do you say we work together?" Cole offers him, then Laroche looks back at Cassie, "Aren't you a little young to be a Conduit it?" he asks her, she just shrugs at him, "You know being a dick isn't going to make yours any bigger." she informs him and Cole snorts as he tries not to laugh.

But then the ground shook again, so the look over and saw a monster, a really ugly monster, it growls and then roars at them. "It's here." Sara gasped then took off running. "That's what you're all afraid of?" Cassie asks as she points her finger at it. Cole just stood ready as Cassie just jumps a little in her spot, "Now look, you don't have to prove that you're brave." he tells them, "Uh-huh." Cassie mutters. "But that things too damn big... even for you." Laroche informs them, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Cole said to him, neither of them was afraid. "Do what I'm doing: run!" he said and then took off. The monster then glares right at them, "Okay, let's go." Cole states as Cassie smirks and took her stance. "Come on ugly, lets dance," she said to him. He roars at them, spitting out venom. But they fired into the mouth, making it whimper. "Yeah, felt that, didn' ya?" Cole laughs.

The mouth opens and shot out poison spit, but Cassie threw in a few bombs as Cole fired into the mouth, but it closes and then marches out then, "Back, back!" Cole shouts and they ran back, it growls at them, opening the mouth for a second, then Cassie threw a grenades into the mouth, making it explode, it whimpers at the pain, then shout it tongue at them, but misses, then Cole fires at the tongue, making it whimper in pain, then closes its mouth and marches at them, "That's right come on this way!" Cassie calls out as she ran backwards and the monster growls at her and she threw three grenades into it's mouth making it whimper and slow down. Then it starts to spit out poison and Cole fires into it's mouth making it stagger a little. "Okay, one more, one more." Cassie states as they ran back around the park, getting the monster to follow them, and then it opens its mouth and let out a moan and then staggers, "Yes! Yeah!" Cole calls out as it then went limp on the ground. "The monster's dead!" "They killed it!" the people cried out and cheered for them. Then Cole's phone went off and he answers it, "I still don't like what you're selling, but you got my attention. Lord knows what my boys think you both can walk on water. Heal our wounded, and you'll see we know how to return the favor." Laroche informs him, the two look at each other and shrugs. "Alright, it's a start." Cole states. "And, uh, thanks for saving my niece." he said to them, "No problem," Cole said then he hung up. They ran around the park, looking for any wounded, healing them, getting them back on their feet and ran down the street.

But then Cassie's phone rings, making them stop and she answers it, "Hey, man, you ready for a shocker? Kuo's up and about. You guys really need to meet up. she's got something to give you." Zeke informs them. they both exchanged looks and took off.
