Peter and Charlotte

Ghost city

"How the heck are they still alive! I want them dead!" The FBI director yelled at his assistant a day after the mission in the plane. Sonya put her boss's cup of coffee on his desk and scurried out of the room. The directors at his desk in his leather chair and sipped his coffee. The two teenagers walked in and the director threw them a file. Charlotte frowned at the director and started to read the mission schematics. "Assist a group of soldiers stuck in Ghost City?" She asked suspiciously. "Yes, get in, find them, kill off the bad guys, get out" the director said and picked up some files. The waved us out and we walked to the armoury and talked to Philip, the short man. He suited us up in full body suits (A/N see picture) with holsters for a pistol, an assault rifle, grenades and ammo. We were handed the rifle and pistol carefully. Charlotte tested the weight of the pistol in her hand. I could tell she was happy with the gun. I holstered my guns and grabbed my grenades. "Now, put these on" Philip said and handed us jet pack type things. To strap around our waists. These are short burst jet packs. They will allow you to jump twice and run on walls. Please make your way through to the testing facility. We were led to a big room with huge walls set up in various places. "See those bots that are walking around?" Philip asked and pointed to one. "You have to take those down and use wall running to sneak up on enemies. Charlotte grabbed her assault rifle and loaded it. I did likewise and we ran into the arena. I ran at a wall and activated my jets. I pumped my legs on the wall and used the burst from my jets to stay on the wall. A bot turned around and came my way. I jumped off the wall and double- jumped onto the other wall on the other side. When I was behind the bot, I jumped off the wall and landed heavily behind it. I pulled the trigger of my weapon and it kicked in my arms. The bot fell over and started sparking. The next few hours were basically that. We occasionally used the pistol, but the assault rifle was more convenient.
Philip called us over and told us it was nearly time for our mission. I grabbed a burger from the cafe next door and ate it quickly. Charlotte got a chicken wrap and we grabbed some helmets from Philip on our way out to the helicopter. "These will act as com-links during the mission, it's just an extra layer of protection" he yelled after us as we ran out. I kissed Charlotte and put my helmet on. Charlotte put hers on and we got into the helicopter. There would be a total of five other troops coming with us on this mission, so I guess it was going to be a bit more dangerous. We were not allowed to know where Ghost City was, it was apparently top secret. Ghost City is a former nuclear disaster location. What they mean by that is, it's still got radiation leaking everywhere, but it isn't lethal, billions of dollars worth of technology made sure of that. Not sure how they did it, but it cost heaps of money. It was going to be a long trip so I decided to play on my phone. I ended up just watching random videos of stuff getting blown up. Charlotte had fallen asleep on my shoulder after a while and I let her stay like that.
After a while, a voice blared through my headset and woke Charlotte up. "Destination had been reached, prepare to exit the vehicle. The soldiers around me perked up and grabbed their guns. The door was flung open by someone and we all ran out. Charlotte clung to my side as we ran forward into the city and prepared to look for the soldiers. Our mission commander sent Charlotte and I to look in a smaller area in the middle of the city. We ran to the location and began scouting around. So far, we hadn't seen any enemies of any kind, so I began to let my guard down. Bad idea. I was kicked I the head and sent sprawling across the ground. Charlotte was in an all out fist fight with a tall man dressed in full red armour. I got up and snapped my shoulder back into place. My pistol aligned itself with the red enemy's head and I fired. The bullet went straight through and the body was blown sideways. These guns pack more kick then I thought. Charlotte suddenly turns and fires her pistol three times. Three red uniformed people fall on their faces behind me. I turn around slowly and look for movement. A vent on the street a couple of metres away is rattling. I walk cautiously to it and peer down. "Help us!" A voice yells from the vent. I pull the vent up and sunlight beams down on four people. "Found the soldiers, we need immediate evac now!" I yell into my com - link. Three of the soldiers that were helping us on this mission scurry into the area I'm in. "They're after us" one says between breaths. I draw my guns and get ready for a fight. People cloaked in red armour run into the clearing with large staffs. My gun fires and one of the red people falls over backwards. "We are Red!" They start chanting and raise their staffs into the air. Suddenly, they attack us with their staffs. I dodge a strike and drop my guns. My knives are in my hands the second my guns drop. I bring both of them up and stab the Red up the chin. He clutches at his chin and begins to twitch. I pull my knives out of him and kick him away from me. His body clatters to the floor and I pick up my guns. Charlotte cartwheels over me and shoots at a couple of Reds on the other side of the area. I roll out and jump to my feet. A Red starts running at me from behind and I turn around quickly, only to be confronted by a huge Red with a spiked staff. I kick at the staff and grab it from him. He topples forwards and I shoot him through the head a couple of times. I holster my weapons and focus on the staff. I twirl it around to test it's weight and take a swing at a Red. The Red blocks it and charges at me. I stab him through the gut with my spiked weapon and kick him away. Charlotte runs up on a wall and backflips off it. She lands a Red's shoulders and rips his helmet off. I shoot the Red through the head and blood splatters everywhere. Charlotte lands on the ground panting. The soldiers in the vent are staring at her in awe. She is really cool. We call in a helicopter and start running to the location. Several times, Reds attacked us and failed. I stopped suddenly and yelled at the group "DUCK!". We all dropped to the floor and bowed our heads. An RPG shot over us and exploded on the building next to us. "Run!" Charlotte yelled and pulled a couple of people onto their feet. I got up and ran for my life. The building was swaying and I could tell it was going to topple over. I shot a look over my shoulder and saw a couple of Red's chasing us. I turned around and the world seemed to go in slow motion. My assault rifle raised until it was in alignment with a Red's chest. I squeezed the trigger and bullets came flying out of the gun. I stepped to the side and an RPG shot by next to me. The Red with the rocket launcher ducked down to the ground and started reloading. My group was running along the street, still being pursued by the Reds. I roll sideways and ran at the Reds. My knife came out of my belt and came into an attacker's position. I rushed at the Red and slashed his back open. My hand grabbed his spine and yanked it out as far as I could. The Red screamed and fell on his face. The other Reds continued to chase my group. I ran after them and took shots at them with my pistol. A Red bent over backwards before fall to the ground in a puddle of blood after I shot it. A sensed something behind me and I stabbed backwards with my knife. I had hit a Red and my knife had punched straight through his gut. The Red stumbled backwards and fell over choking and coughing up blood into the inside of his helmet. Five more Reds were approaching means the other ones had doubled back and were advancing on me. I drew my pistols and aimed them at a few Reds. Bullets sprayed everywhere as I shot Red after Red. Whenever I shot one, two more appeared. They all started moving forwards at once. I found myself being boxed in by the Reds. I had walked into a trap. My assault rifle clattered to the ground and I bent down to grab it. A Red got to close to me so I kicked him in the face and shot him. Blood sprayed everywhere and I felt a flare of victory start to burn inside of me. That was replaced by a cold rock as a boot hit me in the face. My nose exploded in pain and blood trickled down my face. Another boot kicked me in the mouth and a couple of my teeth came loose. Someone kicked me in the waist and I skidded across to another set of legs. Hands grabbed me around my throat and brought me up on the air. I found myself staring into a pair of familiar eyes. The FBI director. He was going to strangle me to death and no - one cared.
