Tug!
A gunshot came to the side and Ax jumped forward, as the enemy came into view... and while he was midair... everything slowed down.
'I can do this!' These past few days, he trained himself to be able to move in bullet time, but it required tremendous effort and control.
Because of the image sent by the scouting bot, when he jumped forward, his muzzle was already pointed at the guy lying down and holding a rifle. He didn't have to move.
He pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot out the muzzle very slowly. Then, with gritted teeth, he changed direction and pointed at the newly arrived person. The guy was large and had bionic arms.
He pulled the trigger targeting his head, another bullet flew out the muzzle...
When he was about to point the gun at the third person peeking behind a large box, he felt a strain on his muscles, as if he had been carrying something heavy the whole day. Still, he gritted his teeth and barely managed to point it at the last guy and pulled the trigger and that's when...
Tud tud tud!
Everything returned to normal and Ax fell forward and rolled on the ground and immediately pressed his back against the wall as he pointed to the side. 2 seconds! It all happened in 2 seconds, which means he still had 1 second of bullet time.
His arms felt sore, but he could still manage. Seeing no enemy coming at him, he immediately reloaded his remaining bullets.
[...Nice shot...]
Troy said in his coms, it seems he saw what he did...
[Shit.. one's still alive Ax! and he's coming to you!]
He warned and just when Ax thought he was coming to where he pointed his muzzle, his instinct soared and he heard the sound of jumping and saw a large man diving down at him...
"You little shit!"
Ax hurriedly jumped forward to dodge!
Thud!
He fell to the floor as he hurriedly scrambled himself back to his feet but..
"Where are you going?!"
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
He felt his foot getting grabbed then... "Agn!"
He groaned in pain, feeling his left ankle being crushed... He turned his body around and pointed the rifle at him...
Tudtdutdu!
The man tried to defend himself using his other bionic arm. Parts flew as bullets hit and pierce through his arm and into his chest... still, he didn't let go...
"ARRGG!"
The man pulled his leg back, then, using only one arm, he threw him forward!
Axis was thrown into the ground with his back first... his rifle flew away from his hands as he desperately grabbed his other gun...
But then.... He felt a piercing pain in his side...
Tudtudtud!
Someone was shooting at him!
"Shit..!" He hurriedly crawled forward, taking cover. When he managed to get behind some destroyed wall, he immediately pointed the misery at the large man... and pulled the trigger!
Tudtudtud!
The man made a quick decision and jumped to the top of the large box and rolled himself to the other side.
"Let's get out of here!"
Someone shouted on the other side...
"Argnn.." He felt some pain in his ankle but he forced himself to stand up.
"Did you find the case?"
[Shit not yet.... alright... here nothing goes... I'm gonna push the scouting bot inside more to get a good look. I have one suspicion about where the case is..]
"Alright... shit... I'll try to cover you."
Seeing as the bullets didn't manage to penetrate his suit, he judged the enemy that shot him was only using a small caliber.
Taking a deep breath to ignore the pain, he then turned around and proceeded forward...
He saw a guy running away and he pulled the trigger...
Tudtudtud!
He jogged forward, finger on the trigger, then his instinct warned him again as he immediately took a step back...
A fist hit the gun he was holding as it slipped out of his hands and was blown away!
Axis recognized him, it was the large man, he didn't run away and instead waited for him!
Axis jumped back and grabbed the only weapon he had left... the knife...
"Thats more like it..."
The man said with a ferocious smile, his left bionic arm was already destroyed, two bloodied holes were in his chest, and a bullet grazed near the back of his neck.
'How the fuck is he still standing!?' He cursed inwardly, he was sure he didn't miss when he shot him which meant the guy had managed to react and adjust his head the moment he pulled the trigger when he was at bullet time. He must have some upgrades on his spine to be able to react that quickly.
He prepared to face him off.
He didn't have enough time to ponder, nor did the guy in front of him and immediately, they both lunged at each other!
Axis took advantage of his damaged left arm and stepped forward to the side and stabbed at him.
But the second he stabbed at him, his instinct warned him, and his body moved on its own. He chose to ram against him. With the man's large body, it was an idiotic move, but he didn't have any option.
Then he heard a small burst of electricity and he felt his back being electrocuted!
"ARg!"
Then... time slowed! He used bullet time to numb the pain and think.
In that brief moment before his body met his, he managed to clumsily take a step to the side, slithering himself away from him, but not before he kicked him, increasing his forward momentum and the large man fell on his front, while his Axis fell on his butt,
His body felt numb because of the electricity...
Axis pushed himself and got back to his feet but not to face him, he turned around to the side and saw a dead thug with a ruptured chest and a blaster beside him.
It was one of the guys he killed during bullet time.
