Rain claps against the car's roof as we go uphill, "Amber?" I turn, "Yeah, Bullet?" He sighs, "Is it secure?" I grab at my earpiece, then cross my arms, "Cornelius made sure of that." He rolls his eyes, "Of course he did. Wish he'd just croak already." We roll to a stop and I open my door. I stomp down as cameras flash around armored cars. People shout and cheer as a degenerate in a hoodie stares through the crowd, he stares right at me, then he smirks, sending a chill down my spine. I rest my hand on my holster. Someone passes and he's gone. I tear my eyes away and open Bullet's door. He hops out and walks smiling at cameras, waving. I follow behind with a hand still rested on my holster. Where did that man go? Women scream in Bullet's direction, one even faints. Two soldiers open the doors to a hall.

Down the hall lies an elevator and stairs. We walk up and there's a grand reception. Bullet pats my back, "Go mingle. No problems here." Before I can get a word out, he slips through a crowd. Mingle? I- I sigh and already people are staring my way. "Whoa, she's giant." I cross my arms and lean against a wall. Look at them talk away and laugh while people in the lower districts die.

A group of three women in beautiful dresses walk up with drinks in hand. One laughs, "How did you even fit in that big car?" I try to walk away, but one grabs my arm, I turn to her, she slurs, "My dad, Lionel Fox, he can help you lose all that weight." H-hey! She grips tighter and the others follow suit. I look around and no one is even watching, the ones who do quickly look away. One shoves her hand past my clothes and bulletproof vest, "Those are heaviest ones I've seen." I jump at her nails digging in, cover my chest and pinch her, hard. She shouts grab at herself as if I punched her and they scoff, the other two splash their drinks on me and then they run off. "You're lucky you're Bullet's little bitch!"

I look around and they're all staring at me. A man laughs, "Take off the vest!" I look down and my dress shirt is stained with red wine. The men burst into laughter as Bullet facepalms. I run away to the balcony. Water mixes the wine into my white dress shirt. My back hugs a pillar as I rub my chest. Think she drew blood. My lips tremble as the rain hits my face.

A man snarls, "They're the bitches." I jump, it's the man from the crowd, this time in a fancy suit. I grab at my gun, "How did you get in here?!" He sighs and lays his hands on the balcony to look off, "I simply walked in. I'm important, more than any of those penny pinching bastards in there.” I wipe my eyes and draw my gun, "Who are you?" He turns around with that dumb looking puppy dog eyed smolder men do, “You want my name?” His smolder breaks into a wide smile, a chuckle escapes him and another chill goes down my spine as I growl, “What’s so funny?” He waves, “It’s appalling to act like a rich kid. Definitely not my style.” I take a step back, “Don’t make me ask again, damn it!”

He smirks, the cocky bastard, “Slim.” He waves, “Put that stupid gun away before I get Cornelius on the phone.” I lower my gun. He slowly walks towards me. My backward footsteps stop as my back hits a pillar, he stops and shakes his head, “That bad, huh?” “What?!” He looks me from my toes, stopping at my chest, then into my eyes with a smirk, “Bullet deserves better.” I scoff and reel closer to him, “I-I'm selfless! I guard him with my life.” Slim takes a step back and chuckles, “Selfless? That’s the funniest shit I’ve heard in a while.” I bend over and grab him by the collar, “But I am!” Slim grins, “But he’s in there while you take an emotional break.” I drop him and he falls on his ass, “Shit!” I run back inside.

I chuckle and get off the floor, that giantess gets on the earpiece, Intruder on the balcony, fancy suit, creep of a thin man. I smirk, "I'm not creepy." I stroll inside sopping wet and walk up to a girl that's drunk as hell, "Name's Terry Menzel." She turns around and her eyes widen. She bats her eyelashes and smiles, "Hello you." I nod up at her, "What's your name?" Her shoulders shift slightly as she stares directly at me, "Maria Fox, daughter of the great Lionel Fox." My eyes shift, there's that red headed giantess. The people shift again and she's talking with- The papers don't lie, that's Bullet." I check my watch, almost eight. I saw you outside, Digger. When are you coming in?

A shot rings out, Bullet drops. More gunshots go off and people run past as I make a beeline to the janitor's closet. I shut the door as a loud crash shakes the building. Shit! I quickly kick into the drywall, grab my drugs. The series of shots quickly turn into a firefight. I gulp and creak open the door. Digger shoots Maria and she reacts for a moment. I grit my teeth as they charge upstairs. I take a bump of coke and walk out.

I wince as I shout, "All teams converge to the ballroom, now!" Bullets crack against the stone walls as I look down, "We're getting out of here, Bullet!" I grab his arms and start dragging him. More and more of our people die as we move. A woman with water for legs rushes towards us. Our men shoot but she just takes the shots. Their guns click as she walks closer. The lights suddenly go out. The emergency lights come on and Slim holds an axe in hand in front of us. How did he get in between us so fast?! I nod to our men and they drag Bullet away.

A man walks in front of the demons with blackened hands, "I'm going to kill you for that, rat!" Slim speaks in a deadpan voice, "Don't make me." Again, a chill does down my spine. Slim's pants darken and the man laughs, "Look, he's pissing himself!" They all start laughing and charge him. Slim screams wildly and hacks away as they try to get past him.

I leap in and punch the woman with water for legs to the floor. He spins and there's his hysterical expression. His fearful eyes leaking with tears- I pause as he completes the spin. The axe flies from his hand and it hits a man's face. Slim kneels to cover his face as I leap forward and rip out the axe. "You're really defending these people?!" I rest the axe on my shoulder, "We do a lot of good!" He scoffs as his arms blacken, "So you've been brainwashed too." He runs in and I ready the axe. He tries to punch and I try to block, but black ooze stretches from his hand and wraps around my neck. I drop the axe and grab at my throat as he shakes his head, "For a woman this big, you're so damn weak." He raises me and the tendril tightens against my neck, "And as I look up at your eyes, all I see is a sheltered little bitch." A loud cut into flesh and I drop to the floor. I gasp for air and Slim runs after him. I look up and he pulls out the axe out his skull. I jump as a black mass slams Slim towards me.

With every twitch from the man, that black ooze covers and thickens against his skin. Sharp spikes form as he roars, his split face opens abnormally. Slim pinches underneath my vest, "Run!" I turn and look back, he crawls on seemingly an infinite amount of legs. "RAT!" I run as fast as I can as Slim turns to face it, I shout, "Don't be stupid!" His voice turns to a menacing growl, "Break that pipe along the fucking wall! NOW!" I run towards the exit.

I giggle wildly, "I am no rat, I'm so much more." I snort another bump and raise the axe, "RAT!" What a monstrous sight, he's not even human anymore. I chuckle on the inside, I'm doing exactly what Gladius did. Fuck, this is stupid, even by my standards. I got everyone killed. Gas seeps past me as Digger gets too close for comfort. I turn and run as he shouts, "I'LL KILL YOU!" I take a deep breath of the gas deep and look back, a black spike flies toward me, I roll around the corner, spring back to my feet. I get to the double doors, outside, the giantess tends to Bullet and I force a serious face. I take a step out, but the black mass grabs my side.

I twist around with all my might as a blackened tendril pulls me towards him. I chop it off and his arm blackens again. Tesyn smiles in my head and I scream, I bury the axe into his forehead and he jumps. "KILL YOU!" I yank it out and do it again. "KILL!" Gladius' dead body, Tesyn, Tamslin. I scream my loudest as his whole body blackens, "You aren't taking anyone else of mine!" "KIL-" The axe squelches through his skull and his speech turns to an inhuman shriek. I put my foot against him and yank the axe out. Teeth form around his split face as I throw the axe at the pipes and it sparks, I hop away as a flame engulfs him, then it whooshes towards me.

An explosion comes from the building, Slim falls into me and we fall down. His suit is so hot, I quickly roll him off me, then gasp. The rain lashes against his burned face, his tattered and singed suit, all that heat escaping from him. I look to him and hold my hand to his mouth, he's breathing. Wait- Why am I caring for him?! He's one of them! I turn back to Bullet as the sound of sirens get closer.

I stand up and rub my neck while flagging them down. I look around as they rush in to get a handle on things. I jump, Slim's gone!? I look everywhere, but he's gone, almost like the wind. Only a couple drops of blood can be seen through the downpour. No one is that fast. Wait-

I shout, "Flamethrower! NOW!" A man runs to me with one and I jerk it from his hands. I march up the stairs and walk through the glass doors to find a burning mass. A tendril pops away and squirms speedily away from the smoldering mass. I shoot the flamethrower as it runs away, it catches fire, but turns the corner. I groan and chase it. I turn the corner and it wiggles through a water fountain. I shout, "No!" I drop the flamethrower and grab the little tendril. It makes a little shriek as I squeeze it. I throw it against the wall and pick up the flamethrower. The tendril hisses at me as I let a flame loose. I turn off the flame and drop it. I huff and puff and smile at the smoldering tendril. "Damn thing." I look to the fountain and my eyes widen.

A little patch fell off!? A little noise comes from the very small tendril and I try to grab it. "No!" It goes through the drain, so I rip off the outer case. "Shit!" Through the plastic tube, it passes through the drain. Shit! Shit! I look to my hands and my anxiety fades to curiosity. The black ooze on my hands- It all sizzles into nothing. I've seen people change from just a drop, so why am I- I look around. Good, no one saw that.

I sit myself down in the alley's smallest puddle and grab at my heart. I hyperventilate as my heart's on the verge of exploding. I rip my suit open. Oh fuck. My fingers trace my wounds, then dig deep and sink into my chest. I look down and half my face has burned. I almost died. I close my eyes and there's Digger's split and mutilated face, flames melting him on contact, to the point I see his malformed burning skull. I rip out the bits of metal stuck in my chest and scream, "Fuck!" I huff and puff as my hands drop, touching the pool of water I sit in. I need it. I press my hands against my hair, rub them backwards and the water rolls down my neck. I wince at the burns and shrapnel sized holes and cuts etched into my skin. I need purple.

"Hey boy toy." I look towards the girl. The one close to Digger. She squats down and tuts with a knife in hand, "You killed Digger." I try to laugh wildly, but all I could force is a half hearted grin, "Just do it already, you opportunistic little bitch." She immediately blushes, "Now you have to satisfy me." I glare into her eyes, "I can't do that with half a pint left." Her arm turns into water and it coils against my wounds. "Fine." She gets behind me, helps me up and breathes on my ear, "Where to, half-pint?" Anything but that nickname. I groan as she walks me, "That one abandoned factory, Kane Machining."
