Gunfire spilt through the air and silenced Anita's yelling. Ajay turned around and peered over the railing out below her. She could hardly make out what was going on. "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." She should have been paying more attention. She pushed herself from the railing and headed into the building. She cursed at herself for not being down there with the other Legends.
Octavio quickly shoved the ring back into his pocket and followed Ajay as she rushed into the building towards the stairs. If she could have jumped off the side of the building then she would have. If Octavio's abilities worked then it could save them a lot of time but she didn't trust that his abilities worked and she didn't want him to get hurt or worse.
It felt like it took an eternity to get down the stairs but after she reached the bottom, Ajay quickly made her way over towards the empty elevator shaft near the stairwell. She walked into the elevator shaft and reached around until her fingers found what they were searching for. Octavio watched as Ajay stretched her body upward into the elevator shaft. He wanted to offer her help but he knew that she would just turn him down.
Fasten between the first and second floor of the elevator shaft was a Volt SMG. Ajay ripped the gun down and handed it to Octavio as she made her way out of the elevator shaft. "Che?" He gripped the unfamiliar gun as he looked at her. He was still unsure of what was going on. She seemed urgent and methodical as she moved, but then again she was always one to have well thought out plans.
Octavio followed Ajay as she motioned for him to follow her towards the entrance of the building. When they made it outside Ajay stopped in front of the building and turned to face Octavio, "It's a Volt SMG Silva. An energy weapon." Octavio raised an eyebrow, "An energy weapon?" He had only heard of energy weapons in the past like they were some sort of myth. She nodded to him and marched out to the street towards the other Legends.
He followed her lead again and didn't bother asking her how the gun worked; he would figure that out for himself when the time came. She made it half way down the street before she veered off towards a building that was under construction. Octavio waited for her in the street as she disappeared into the shadows of the building.
Ajay stopped at a short metal pleated stairwell just outside of the building. She kneeled down beside the stairwell and retrieved a Charge Rifle from underneath it. She had never used this particular sniper but she had used other snipers before. She just hoped that it performed as well as the other snipers that had used. She quickly caught back up with Octavio as she looked over the Charge Rifle.
She made sure that the sniper rifle was loaded as Octavio stared at the weapon that was as large as Ajay's torso. He had never seen either of the weapons that she had produced almost out of thin air. He was still trying to process everything that was going on but he was having a hard time, "Che, what's going on? What's with the guns?" He gave her a concerned look as she lowered the Charge Rifle to look at him. "I can explain afterwards Silva. Just trust mi."
He sighed and nodded. He would just have to trust her and hope that whatever she had planned would work. Ajay raised the sniper and looked through the scope to see if she could find out what was going on before engaging. She zoomed into where the party was taking place just down the street.
Octavio watched as her face turned pale. Ajay watched multiple prowlers running and jumping around as the other Legends fought them off; it was the last thing that she wanted to see, "What da fuck..." She lowered the gun away from her face and swallowed hard. She didn't want to believe what was happening but even without the scope she could still make out what was going on.
"What's wrong Che?" She glanced over to Octavio, "It's only Legends and prowlers. No benefactors. No staff." Her voice trailed off as fear overtook her body. She had already forgotten what she needed to do. As he watched his best friend he could tell that what she saw was not settling well with her, "Che, get your shit together. Let's clean up this mess and figure the rest out later."
