Chapter 20: The attack...

[Get the scouting bot inside, I could slowly map out the interior]

Troy said in the coms.

Axis observed their patterns while slowly inching forward.

"Huuh!"

Eventually, He came to a large rock however there was nothing more to hide ahead.

"Raze... On my signal, make a large noise"

Axis said to Raze...

[Fuck you! Ready when you are.]

Raze spat against his enemy the former and answered with the latter.

Axis waited when all three people turned their attention away from his direction, then..

"Now!"

Bog!

A sound of explosion happened further ahead and Axis bolted out of his position.

He dashed to the side of the building and quickly plastered himself on the wall.

At the same time, he grabbed the knife that was holstered to his legs as he waited....

"I'm sick of this place, why is it taking so long anyways??"

He heard a sound of complaint and footsteps approaching, Axis held his breath. He must do this quickly and quietly.

He readied his empty hand to grabbed the guy and....

"I miss my bitches-" the man wasn’t able to finish as he was suddenly yanked to the side.

Axis pressed him against the wall, covered his mouth and drove the knife into his heart.

"Hmg!"

Terror filled the man's eyes seeing Axis’s black mask.

Life lost his eyes and the man slumped down. Axis gently put him down and prepared to deal with the other two.

They were sure to notice their missing comrade.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

He took a peek to the side and saw the guy on the ground, smoking something. The distance was about 15 meters.

He looked for a way in, when he noticed a small blasted hall in the rear of the building next to some large crate, just more than a meter far from him.

He could throw the scouting ball there.

[Ah shit I can't take it anymore! Ax!]

Raze called in the comms.

Axis immediately made a decision.

"Hey troy, can this scouting bot mimic the sound of a gunshot?"

[It can]

"Good, when I give the signal, make the noise"

He grabbed the Rifle strapped to his back and the ball on his belt. He lightly threw it to his side, and it rolled around by itself and got some distance from him...

He took a deep breath... And pointed the muzzle at the guy that was high in the air...

Putting his finger on the trigger and then…

Tug!

The second he pulled the trigger and the man on the ground about to turn in his direction...

“Now"

Another 'gunshot' occurred getting the man's attention.

Axis stepped out of the wall and got a better view of the thug...

The guy noticed him and immediately docked but it was too late....

Tug!

Anticipating it, a bullet hit the side of his stomach as blood splattered. Axis then quickly approached the man and finished him with a knife.

[I've got visual, I see a hole, I'm going in]

Troy said as he controlled the scouting ball to get inside the building, but the way he phrased it made Axis face twitch.

"How many are unto you, raze?"

[...Three; I just killed one, but the other two are still on me.]

Axis thought as he pointed the muzzle at the large double doors, waiting for the enemy to come out while the scouting bot explored inside.

He killed three, and another three are on Raze, which means they shouldn't have too many inside...

At the thought of that, Axis sneered. There is no way things could go that easily.

[Alright, I got a preliminary image and am sending it to you.]

Axis then saw the pictures of the interior from the scouting ball's perspective. There is a lot of covers inside; he could see destroyed walls and some abandoned materials.

No enemy was sighted, which was great.

"Going in"

Axis headed inside through some crevice in the wall.

[Oh, I see an enemy, two of them, hiding and preparing for you.]

Troy said...

Axis waited for a moment before images appeared. He saw a person peeking through where he was about to come through while the other guy was high up, lying down, and pointing his rifle, waiting for him. Both of their weapons don't seem to use micro bullets. Can his protective suit stop it?

Probably, but it will hurt a lot.

[Ax, try to get their attention; I need to sneak around them.]

Axis thought of a way to somehow get the two and thought about using the sound distraction again when...

[Oh, they’re backing away...]

[I see them preparing their vehicles; they plan to run away! ]

Raze and Troy said, respectively.

'Shit...'

He cursed inwardly as he prepared himself. Then new images were sent to him, and an additional person was waiting for him ahead.

'My chance...' This time he planned to use bullet time; he didn't plan to when it was just two of them with one being hard to hit, but now...

[Hurry up, Ax! The second you attack them; I'll blitz right through them and look for the case!]

Troy urged.

"On my signal, make the noise again..."

Ax jumped to one of the large boxes and hunched his shoulders and lowered his head, as he try to avoid being seen...

[Shit, hurry Ax, I'm trying to hack into their vehicles' systems.. shit... signals too weak]

[I'm going up front! Agh! Lousy gun!]

Ax looked at the images Troy sent him and remembered the enemy's location. Then..."Now!"
