Never Get Out Alive

Chapter 44: Knock, Knock, Here I Come.

We had just one floor to go after this one and boy were we ready. All of us were floored and tense, ready to kill Rahsteck. But first we had to clear this floor.

As the elevator opened we were ready to just start shooting and stuff but it opened up to a small hallway that turned left. We walked through the hallway, seeing as how we didnt really have any choice, and then opened up the door that was at the end. We all paused in confusion at what we saw.

On the other side of the door was almost a cafeteria. It was just a large kitchen with tables to the left, filled with a couple of Hybrids. Oh well. I thought. I guess bad guys gotta eat too. Just not today.

I pulled out my gun and threw it away seeing as how they didnt have any and I wouldnt need it from here on anyways. I walked over to the first one who was a mix between a tiger and man and was manning a giant pot of...something, and immediately he kicked me obviously not in the mood for talking. As he went to swing at me I kicked his shin and when he bent down to hold it, I bashed his head on the stove and the kicked him back onto another one.

Behind me another Hybrid came after me as well as one in front of me and they both got into position to attack. I saw Zeke and Beckett get ready to help but saw Kai standing relaxed by the door. Before they could help he stopped them. "No no, let him go. Hes been waiting for this a while, hes always wanted to do this." He said patiently.

I smiled and turned my attention to the tiger man in front of me and the wolf man behind me. "So...who's hungry?" I asked nonchalantly.
In that split second I grabbed the pot of boiling hot soup, and flung it onto the guy in front of me, spinning around and using the pot to knock the other guy down. I quickly reached up and slammed the top cabinet into the tiger guys head as he was holding it in his hands and kicked him down on top of the other one. Finally I spun around and faced the wolf man who was holding a knife and I backed up across the kitchen to the far corner. Just as he thought I was pinned, I grabbed a handful of metal plates and before he knew what was happening, began to sling them at his face, breaking his teeth and smashing his head before finally throwing one at his crotch and then punching him In his face, knocking him unconscious.

As I walked away I turned off the stove and then the light and walked out of the room Kai following behind and Beckett and Zeke laughing, outstanded by my performance.
"How long have you practiced that?" Zeke asked me chuckling.

I paused before stopping at the elevator and looked at him. "Hmm. Shortly after Memphis and I started dating and I told her I was going to rule the kitchen." I said with a smile.
"Now. We have to actually take this a but more serious. This is the man, and by now, I'm sure he knows we're here, so he'll be expecting us. But. Let's take the stairs and juke him with the elevator as a little fun." I said with a smirk.

I walked over and pressed the button sending it up, then dashing up the stairs with Kai, Zeke, and Beckett following close behind. As we got to the top we opened the door, only to reveal a hallway. But, this hallway had a single metal door and was in fact, filled with three bear hybrid guards, snarling and foaming at the mouth.

I stepped in the hallway with Beckett, Zeke and Kai and stood there. Behind me I heard Kai whisper a quiet, "Ah" before settling into a defensive stance.
"So uh, who wants to take this one? I think I'll sit out this round, since I just took out the kitchen and am personally going after Rahsteck." I asked them. The three of them shrugged before going ahead of me to deal their damage seeing as how I was right.

Zeke went first, his muscles visibly growing and skin getting thicker as he approached before he punched the first guard in the face and pinned him by the throat to the wall. Right afterwards, Beckett ran after the second one, freezing his feet and sliding by him, grabbing his neck and causing ice to creep up to his face, covering his mouth. Finally Kai smiled and walked up to the third one, who swung a clawed hand at him. He ducked it and grabbed the bear-man by his neck causing him to somehow fall to his knees in front of Kai. He squeezed and it seemed the life was being drained out of the man as his eyes went white and Kais went black before he kicked him in the face, hard, breaking teeth and knocking him over.

Kai then made a step with his hands that Beckett stepped on to, then flung him up. While Beckett was in the air, he spun around, and, using the blade in his boot, sliced the Hybrids head off, landing behind him, watching the body fall to the ground.

Finally we all turned our attention to Zeke, who was the last one. Zeke dodged a hit from his aggressor and rammed him into the wall opposite from them, leaving a visible imprint and audible crack. He then used his claws to uppercut the bear and slash his throat, kicking him in the stomach. As he was doubled over, Zeke raised his arms, his hands clamped together to make one solid fist, and plummeted it down onto the man's spine and head, hearing it snap and seeing his body go limp.

They all looked at me and I slowly walked towards the metal door before stopping at it, looking back at them. They nodded telling me it was my turn and I nodded as well.
"Knock, Knock, Rahsteck... Here I come." I whispered as i opened the door, and let it slam shut behind me, isolating me from my team.
