Eve nodded heading for the door; she was just going to walk out as if nothing had happened. She would have plenty of time to show off later but right now executing the orders was paramount. It shouldn't be too hard to locate Tyra since they did have a signal to locate each other.
Alexandria looked at Veronica as Eve left the area. "If you want to go take care of the guard and the booth after that we head to the armory and go to each of the ability users one at a time, sounds good?"
Veronica didn't say a word, she just walked over to the area, ripped off the front of the booth, walked in and snapped the guard's neck. She wasn't playing around at this point; it was time for things to end and for something new to begin.
Alexandria swallowed hard, reminding herself never to piss Veronica off. "All right, let's make our way to the armory. According to this map there shouldn't be any guards in the area. Would you like to go first to take them down?"
Veronica nodded a reply and moved towards the adjacent door she opened it and walked through.
The two of them went down the hallway for a bit and took a right turn. The armory was at the end of the hall and thankfully there were no guards on duty at the time. Of course in a facility like this there really wasn't a reason for guards to be in the armory. The creators of the facilities never thought any ability user would be able to circumvent their security systems.
Veronica moved forward grasping the knobs on the door. She turned them then they gave resistance. Veronica smiled for the first time in a while, ripping both doors off the hinges.
Alexandria moves forward peering inside the armory. There was everything from automatic rifles to stun batons, anything you can think of to enforce the piece in what is essentially a prison. She looked around for any type of container that they could stuff everything into. They were going to take it all. This room would never be used to store weapons again since every weapon would be given to someone in the facility and then Alexandria would take the rest for her ship.
She found something near the middle of the room. It wasn't a bag but it was a crate and it was empty. "Hey Veronica, come help me load everything up if we can't fit in this crate. I'm sure there's another one somewhere. I want to get all this stuff out of here and I want to do it now."
Veronica knotted moving into the room and started to carefully take everything down and pack it inside the crate.
Alexandria found another crate close by and started packing that one. It took them a little while but they were able to get every single weapon into both of the crates.
"All right, do we want to leave these here hidden or do we want to bring them with us?" Alexandria was asking a lot of questions but Veronica wasn't saying much of anything. Alexandria was concerned that her rage might overtake her if she was trying to lighten the mood.
She started to jump around a bit throwing punches and kicks again and a confident smile crossed her face. "That shouldn't be any problem with us carrying these crates. We could stack them up on top of each other and then split the load between us."
Alexandria nodded in agreement as they picked up the first crate and started on top of the second crate.
They both got into position and picked up both crates at the same time walking out the door and walking towards the first point on the map which marked an ability users cell.
Eve made it outside the city without any issues. The guard at the front gate just ignored her as she made her way to a spot out of the walled cities line of sight. She put two fingers up in the air and touched her nose with her other hand.
Tyra was in her perch on a small hill using a tree to help stabilize her weapon and give her a place to rest when she needed it. She's been watching everything unfold and has had quite a few chuckles since everything started. Adjusting her vision and moving the rifle a bit she spotted Eve not too far from her. She was holding up the signal to meet up.
She flipped the lens on her scope up and depressed the button of the pointer that was attached at the bottom. The laser made its way to Eve bouncing around her two fingers.
Eve looked up and followed the laser's trajectory, put her hands down and started walking towards Tyra's location.
Tyra let out a soft chuckle. "So what else about the plan has changed? Are you just here because you're tired of being inside the city?" She stayed up in her perch for the moment, not ready to come down unless it was absolutely necessary.
Eve gave Tyra a sly smile rolling her eyes a bit. "Alexandria and an ability user Veronica or moving through the facility. She wants you to either send a message to the island to get them here or get a long boat and go to them to bring them back. Apparently there are quite a few ability users inside the facility who are going to take the facility and clear out the armory."
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Tyra was intrigued since a facility armory would have bullets and maybe even another sniping rifle. She wouldn't want to miss out on that. The distance from here to the main camp was far but taking a long boat to get to them would take even longer. "I'm going to try and see if they have made any progress yet. If they're getting ready to leave I will send them a long range message. If they haven't left yet then I will go to them. Either way Alexandria is going to have to wait a bit for her reinforcements."
Eve didn't like the sound of that answer and she didn't want to leave at the moment to try and get there quickly since she could miss out on some of the action. There had to be a way they could get a message to them without either one of them having to leave the island.
Tyra raised an eyebrow giving Eve a questioning look. "Wait did she say she wanted me to go or she wanted you to go?" Tyra wasn't going to run an errand that was supposed to be done by someone else.
Eve thought for a moment and clicked her tongue. "Oh damn it you're right she told me to get in a boat and go get everyone that could fight. Could you do that look that you said you were going to do to see what their progress is and we can go from there?"
A party chuckle escapes Tyra's lips. "I will do the check to see what their status is. After that I think we should take out the gate guard." Before Eve could answer I removed her rifle and peered down the scope looking towards their island. It seemed everyone was loading the ship and getting ready to go, not telling what that meant but perhaps there was a way she could get a message to them without Eve having to go get them.
"It seems like they're loading the ship now. Either Valentina has been able to slow down time for a large group of people or they came up with another idea. I don't have a round that'll reach that far but wait V we can use her to send a message." V was perched on one of the tree limbs above Tyra looking down at her at the mention of her name with her head almost turned all the way upside down.
Eve rolled her eyes, shaking her head a bit. "I will get to writing a letter right now V should be able to get there way before either of us could. Also I wouldn't take out the gate guard because Veronica seems to want to kill all the guards inside the facility. We should leave them to her."
Tyra nodded in agreement, keeping her attention towards the island. V drifted down from the branch that she was on perching herself right next to Tyra looking down at what Eve was doing.
She pulled out a piece of paper which was pretty rare and a quill and an inkwell. You wrote down the important information on the message and told Lyric to get here as fast as she possibly could. She rolled up the note and took a piece of ribbon out of her jacket pocket and tied it tight.
V drifted down from the perch she was on and landed on Eve's shoulder. Eve attached the letter to her leg and looked her dead in the eyes. "All right V you need to go back to Lyric and give her this message you got that?"
The vulture tilted her head to the side and then straightened it back up doing what looked like a nod.
Eve threw her arm up into the air and V launched herself into the air flying back towards the island. "All right now all we can do is wait. I'm going to stay out here until the reinforcements arrive. Are you going to watch V the entire time or are you going to turn your attention back to Alexandria and Veronica?"
Tyra watched V for a little bit longer and she didn't move her rifle as she replied. "last time I checked they had weapons and we're making their way to the other ability users inside the facility. I do have my ear on them though so if they need my help I can turn. This is going to be our first big victory."
Eve nodded in agreement, a devious smile dancing across her face. "I just hope they get here quickly since the longer I have to sit here and away the less fun I get to have. I'm sure there are plenty of people inside that world city who've lived long enough."
Another hearty chuckle escaped Tyra's lips as she focused on V making her way towards the island. Hopefully she could get there quick enough and the reinforcements would be on their way within the hour.
Alexandria and Veronica freed a few ability users who were now following them towards another cell. Two of the ability users among them were able to move objects with their minds. However, they weren't able to leave the facility. The other ability user was able to levitate off the ground which was an awesome thing in Alexandria's eyes.
Veronica's mood had improved and surprisingly they hadn't run into any guards going through different cell blocks. The late hour could account for that. There was a section on the map that was labeled guard quarters and that was the section they were trying to avoid until they had every single ability user with them and out of custody.
"Once we have everyone we can stop and find a place to give everybody a weapon that needs one. After that we'll pay the guards quarters to visit and see how many of them are sleeping on the job." Devious smile crossed Alexander his lips she thought back to earlier when they took the large island and she spilled blood all over the place. Even though she didn't like to kill, there was something in her that relished the spilling of blood. It must be the animals in her.
They were able to pick up the next three ability users with no problem. Now there were eight in total including Alexandria. Inside that large facility only seven ability users survived which was a staggeringly low number since Alexandria was positive there had been many more.
They stopped and found rest in a large empty storage room Veronica and Alexandria put the weapons down, opening up the cases and allowing the other ability users to come and choose something to defend themselves with.
The next moment we're going to be crucial even with reinforcements on the way. The seven ability users that Alexandria had with her and Tyra outside were all that she had at the moment. Of course she had face down larger odds with a smaller force so this was something that she was quite accustomed to.
"By taking over this place we will burn a memory so deep into the minds of every leader and every walled city that this world no longer belongs solely to them and we will take it back for the people who can actually survive in this beautiful world." The next steps would determine the faith in the future of this world.
