Space Odyssey: Spectre

Chapter 39 - 39: Clearing the Mansion

Steel ducked as the gun was fired. The sidearm's bullet going straight into a monitor. Steel quickly dashed back as Raleigh lowered the gun. The gun went off a second time as Steel grabbed the man's wrist. The bullet ricocheted.

Raleigh then pulled out a knife and tried to stab Steel with it. But he grabbed the other man's wrist as well and forced them to cross. The gun went off again this time there was a meaty impact as the guard that was in the room had his head blown off. They both glanced at the bloody scene before looking back at each other.

Steel head butted him clicking a button on the gun causing the mag to drop out. Then he kicked the man back while taking the knife out of his hand. Raleigh backed up and pointed the gun. Getting several clicks in response while his nose bled.

The man tossed the gun at Steel before darting straight at Steel brandishing a pair of knives he pulled out. Steel batted the gun to the side and stabbed with the knife he took. He stabbed it right in between the metal plates that protected his chest and abdomen. Then one of the man's knives sparked off Steel's helmet as he jumped back.

But Steel grunted in pain as he felt something piercing his side. On his helmet there was a notice as his suit was breached. While the placement of the knife made it difficult to move without damaging his internal organs.

But the man was now grinning, even taking a moment to wipe the blood from his face while Steel pulled out the knife from his side. "Most of my knives are poison-laced. Some are lethal and some are not. I wonder which one you got?"

Steel frowned, oh great now he has to worry about getting to a medical facility. He pulled his knife out of his sheath and dashed forward. Intent on taking this guy down before anyone else arrived.

As a minute passed he felt his vision get blurry but that was all that occurred. The man seemed just as annoyed that nothing was happening. But Steel was switching from watching his opponent to listening, like he did back on that re

They arrived at the basement quickly enough where a wall was just opening up to reveal some more pirates, but they looked far less civil. Tani fired quickly with her stun gun. Intent on getting to the people that were held in the basement.

She ran past them while they were knocked down. Practically jumping down the stairs. She darted to the side where a pair on a couch were stunned by her appearance and then were stunned by her rifle shots. Running past she passed four rooms, one of which she could hear grunting in. But then she arrived at her destination.

A large chamber with a large number of movable cages with people inside. "We don't have enough manpower. Cadet March and Santez start freeing people. Cornwall, call the Major and request more troops and a prison transport. Then tell him what we discovered." She instructed before turning around and going back to clear the four rooms she passed by.

Tani kicked open the first one and discovered an empty room. She then turned around and kicked open another door. Finding a heavily scarred man with a prosthetic arm pinning a woman down as he thrust into her.

"Get Off Me!" The woman screamed between tears.

Tani fired several shots into the man and then jumped over to knock down another door when she saw the man falling over. But apparently these rooms were somewhat soundproof. But not soundproof enough as she discovered after kicking open the next door.

The man in this room was ready as he had moved the woman he was fucking to use her as a human shield. As the door opened he had his gun pointed at the woman. "Drop it or the woman dies."

Tani growled angrily when the door behind her opened as well with another person stepping out with a gun pointed at her. She took a deep breath and then tossed the gun backwards at the person behind her.

The person behind her fired his gun, his bullet hitting the gun she threw. Causing it to explode in a static blue. Instantly stunning him and taking him down.

The person in front of her fired his gun, his bullets bouncing off her armor. She jumped forward smacking the gun out of his hand. Then as she knocked him to the bed she punched toward his head, her hand going into his open mouth as he screamed.

She grabbed something solid in the back of his throat and pulled. Ripping out his jaw and tearing his neck in two. She looked over at the woman who was stunned before she jumped forward and hugged Tani.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Tani rolled her eyes and pushed the woman back.

"Tani, Major Mendez sent down some Mercenaries and the Sand Snakes. The Station Governor sent a prison transport." Cornwall reported.
