Push It To The Limit

Adelis POV

***************

I was walking as fast as I could. A long corridor, then to the right, a little further ahead were the bathrooms, I knock on the door with a little rhythm, the person on the other side unlocks the lock, I quickly look around that no one else is around and I enter as soon as possible to close the door. Inside the women's bathroom was Xian with a dagger in her hands, next to her a quite muscular man was tied to a chair, he was quite injured, his clothes stained with his own blood.The young girl ran the knife lightly across the man's face, making a new wound.

"That man deserves it!" the demon spoke.

"I like what she's doing, she has the spirit"

"I like her, I wouldn't mind sharing my husband with her"

"She has a really good body that Cesar would have like to have in his collection"

"Quick! force her to be part of the Harem!"

"Lisa shut up!"

"Lisa?"

"Who is Lisa?" Xian asked.

"Forget it, today I've been saying so many names that I'm getting confused when I speak"

"You the idiot over there!"

"You know what I want to know, talk now!"

"Fuck you!"

As soon as Xian heard his reply, she kicked the chair where the man was, causing him to fall to the ground. She got on top of him and thick to punch his face repeatedly. She later raised him back to the chair and hit him again with the dagger.

"None of us three want to be in this the rest of the night"

"Speak now!"

"Bitch" said the man while spitting on me.

While I was still processing what just happened. Lisa's upper torso came out of hiding, a metal stake in each hand and she drove them into the man's knees. On her face, you could see her demon nature smiling at the ways she was going to continue torturing the man to death. I couldn't afford to lose him, I needed to get something out of him, so I took the girl by the arms to stop her before it was too late.

"Stop, I still need him alive!"

"Fuck"

"Ok, I'll leave it to you for now, but if he does something again I'll drag him down here" Lisa threatened the man as her figure deformed horribly and laughed as she stepped back into my shadow.

Of all the times she has done that she has never done it in such a threatening and horrible way as now. It was clear that she had done it with the intention of terrorizing the man.

"What the hell was that thing!" The man had thrown himself back trying to get away from me as he spoke.

But he was not the only one, Xian had seen everything too, and like him, she was surprised and scared too. She was by the sinks with her dagger in front of her trying to protect herself from Lisa.

"What you just saw is your future if you don't give me a damn answer!" Seeing that he was on the verge of collapse from the scare that took me, I took advantage of the situation.

"Boss was what just happened!"

"Didn't you see what came out right below you?"

"That was not human!"

"My family has experience in taking care of them for generations, I could tell my grandmother to reserve a day for..."

"The one I need to speak to is him, you shut up"

"Did she just casually mention that her family has experience hunting monsters?"

"She might be of more help than I thought!"

"We need her to end up married along with "Darling" too"

"And you also shut up, you already have me annoyed too!" I shouted to the ground.

"I'm sorry"

"Okay, it's true that they paid me a lot in exchange for hurting you."

"The pay was pretty good and you didn't seem like an important person compared to President John"

"I thought it would be easy money, but all the money in the world is useless if things like that exist"

"They are also supposed to pay me an extra bonus if I managed to give information or open the vault but the system is too complex"

"The president, what plans did you have for him !?"

"I swear that he was not in our plans, nobody had the courage to be the number one enemy of a country like the United States!"

"What is the use of having all the money in the world if you are not going to be calm for the rest of your life?"

"The orders, who gave them !?"

"He mentioned that he was an acquaintance of yours, a certain Wilhelm, Vilhelm, Williem or something like that"

"This man got too talkative after meeting me, I wonder why it will be"

"I'm sure no one can resist my beauty like the rest of those damn men"

"Can I finish killing him?"

"Who else is working with you!"

"How many of you are left?"

"Do not know"

"I thought he was the only one"

"Surely they did not tell me so that I would not compromise the mission"

"I don't believe it"

"It's the truth!"

"I swear, I don't know anything else!"

"Xian, you take care of the rest, I don't have time for this"

"Don't make me come back because next time I'm not going to stop her"

Xian who at all times was in the corner of the room came out and got close to the man again.But this time she didn't look like a professional assassin trying to get information out of her enemy, she was as scared as he was, they both seemed quite confused.But I really had no time to waste, there was too much to do to be questioning an idiot who knows nothing.

I returned as fast as I could to the crisis room to continue monitoring progress at the Empire State Building. It had been hours since the Thunderdome operation began, but the great number of casualties and great enemy resistance in the place has made that gained ground in the skyscraper is a real pain. It is incredible to see how brave the soldiers have been and how brutal their efforts have been in order to fulfill their mission. I got back to my station and turned the monitor back on.

"What floor are they on now?"

"Dad and the others are right now going up to the 51st floor" Charlotte, my granddaughter answered me on the other side of the monitor.

Next to her were also my daughter Maria and Momo wearing her very peculiar costume. All of them were from the safety of the base created in the port of the city, behind them you could see a lot of soldiers going in all directions

"Is there any other information regarding the portal?"

"Does it really exist and is it under the hands of the Empire?"

"Well leaving out whether they have it or not, the most difficult part of a portal is the high energy consumption necessary for it to work, because it's something so high that humans wouldn't normally be able to allow it" Momo replied.

"Hell this could be bad"

"Remember the blackout in the city went in the afternoon"

"New York has three different power plants to supply the city"

"And all three power plants have been under enemy control at some point" I mentioned.

"Even if they had all three power plants they still need at least a full year to have the level of energy needed just to start it up"

"As I said, that's something that humans couldn't afford because of its cost of turning it on"

"If it need for so much energy, how are you able to use it normally for the day-to-day?"

"Well there are different ways to achieve it, the first would be that our technology is the most advanced that exists, so for the angels not at all difficult to achieve"

"There are also hundreds of materials that humans have not discovered that could produce or store the necessary energy"

"In addition, our portals can even work with magic, it consumes a lot and is not available to anyone, but for example, it was Tamamo who gave enough energy to the portal through which she and Cesar returned to earth"

"It only took her to touch a crystal for thirty seconds to make it work for two days"

"But well, Tamamo is Tamamo"

"Okay, and how is it that you can tell that a portal was activated even when it is no longer there?" I asked

"It does not matter the way the portal was activated, even if it was using technology to use it, it always leaves a very unique magical trace"

"It is something that a specialized magic-user might find if he knows what to look for in a small place"

"But this information is something that only angels who work as technicians know"

"The Alliance has no way of doing this, but it is very likely that the Empire does not know about this either"

But even if the Empire is not aware of this it is not a method we can use to find out where it might be.All those that can use Magic that I know are not available.Tamamo is protecting Kazumi, Momo can't fight and Cesar will kill me if I put her in danger, and Lisa is literally below preventing someone else from trying to kill me.

"Charlotte, could you maybe try to find it?"

"I'm sorry but I don't know magic, I don't know what to look for, to begin with"

"Nor can I search for cameras in the city because civil communications are blocked"

"Also the satellite images do not show anything strange like the portal that Mom Momo describes"

"Well it's normal, if I had one of those I would try to put it in a sheltered place indoors to avoid that"

"The problem is that this city has too many interiors"

"Could be almost anywhere"

"If the empire used a battery capable of using the portal, it was most likely relatively discharged from the initial attack"

"And although they will use the power plants to charge it, they still need the necessary infrastructure to handle so much energy" mention the angel

"I don't think there are many cables in the city capable of withstanding so much without creating a massive short circuit"

"The fact that it didn't happen means they thought about it too"

"Charlotte starts looking for places with the information that Momo mentioned"

"If you are looking for places where a lot of energy can travel then you should look for subway stations where there are many big buildings on top"

"The subway needs a lot of electricity to run, and skyscrapers too"

"Mr. President!"

"Since when have you been there !?"

"You do not need to help us, surely you have more important things right now!"

"Not much really, just that you are looking for something important from the Empire"

"I just wanted to see why of all the people in this place because it seems that the only one who knows for sure what is happening is you?"

"John you know that I have been dedicated to this for a long time"

"Well yes, but I have been seeing everything you have been doing today and everything has been trying to help your small group"

"But at least it seems that your group has helped a lot in all this shit"

"I just wanted to help too"

"My grandfather worked at a New York Subway relay station when he was young"

"At the beginning, the subway system needed a lot of energy that had to be distributed throughout the city"

"So a lot of these relays were hidden in plain sight"

"But these stations were from the beginning of the last century, they were dangerous and was easy to die by electrocution, so they were replaced by better things"

"Even so, not all were changed, some were just forgotten in old buildings "

"As these machines are mechanical, it is impossible for a computer to notice the passage of electricity through them"

"If so with those parameters, the best place could be Rockefeller Center"

"The complex of 19 buildings has a fairly important subway station below, in addition to the plans of 30 Rockefeller Plaza this relay appears in a part of its basement"

"It is the ideal place, in addition to its high amount of enemy presence right now"

The alarms went off suddenly, the emergency lights began to shine as well. Everyone gets up from their desks and starts grabbing all the weapons they can find.

"What the hell is going on and why isn't dead yet?"

"Another group of androids have flown to this place, right now the soldiers above are fighting with them"

"The fight does not seem to be going well for us Mr. President"

"Okay gentlemen, today is a good day to die"

"Everybody grab something that's capable of doing pew pew pew and look to that door"

"Anyone who does not know how to use a weapon has two minutes to learn how to use it"

"Whoever gets the most POWs I'll let him sit in my chair in the oval office for a whole day"

"I want that actor who won the Oscar last year to be the one to play me in this part"

"You the over there, take a photo, I want to see it on the front page of the newspapers tomorrow"

Xian came running from the toilets with a big gun and two bulletproof vests, one for her and the other for me. Suddenly the entrance to the vault began to be hammered, making everything inside nervous. People dumped chairs and tables trying to create makeshift covers, others set up some explosive traps quickly around the place. The secret service made a great human shield in order to protect its boss. On the other side, the Dolls began to hit the Bunker more and more. Then you could hear a huge drill piercing the security door.

(Lisa, something tells me that you really don't like being around a man)

(But please I need you to listen to me for a second)

(I know that you are capable of fighting Dolls without much trouble.)

(So I need that if something bad happens you also try to save the president)

(Please, I need him alive)

"That's too stupid, but it's alright I'll try"

"But if that bastard gets to me, I'll pin him to the wall"

(Do you really intend to harm the most important person on the planet?)

"What! You are crazy?"

"I would never hurt "darling"

"That you haven't realized that I love him?"

"But that bastard over there if he dies, he dies"

A horrible creaking was heard all over the place. Then you could see how the tip of the drill came out on our side. And with that later the door began to open slowly. What a horror, there was not one, not two, not six, there were more, a lot more than that. There was no way out.

"Fuck them boys!" Scream the president of the United States John Smith.

They all started shooting at the same time at the great threat. A great hail of bullets floods the hall. But the shots did almost no harm to them. As if it were a horror movie, they began to walk slowly with patience, because they did not seem to care that we threw them, it would not be enough to end them.When they launched their attack there was nothing we could do.Several fell only with the first shot of their weapons.There was no way to beat all of them.

Xian took me by the arm and led me to the end of a corridor behind us, where were the women's restroom. The secret service also take the president to the same place, but most died trying to buy some time. When the Dolls reached where we were, Xian tried to attack them with her dagger. But surprisingly Lisa came out of my shadow completely, took her by the arm, and threw her behind me. From a dark space, she took out an old Flintlock pistol, put it next to one of the robots, and fired. The next second her head was no longer there, the demon took out another and repeated the process, two shots, two dead. She dropped them to the ground and from somewhere she took out a third, another try, another head disappeared with her weapon. But when she was going for her fourth, several Dolls grabbed her arm, but that didn't stop her. I take out of the ground that strange weapon that she uses and with her free arm she attacked them. Those robots had no chance against her, but it seems that that was not what they were looking for . The Dolls were just trying to block us from the hallway and with that I understood that they were what they really wanted.

"Lisa the President!"

"Don't let them take him away!"

"Right now I'm busy keeping you alive! You do not see it!"

The bodyguards fought valiantly, but there was nothing they could do against them. Lisa didn't let any of them manage to attack us. And I could only see how they took the president in front of me without being able to do anything. They took him out of the vault, by the time reinforcements arrived a couple of minutes later the androids were not in the building. We were treated in the lobby of the building.

Among them came my son, her face could be seen in panic, his eyes were the red color he had had all day. Her body was all dirty, full of dirt, sweat, and blood, he was wearing a fairly modified armor, or rather improvised arranged. The fatigue in her body was very evident, her breathing was heavy and she did not hold her weapons with the professionalism that characterized him, but he looked like a survivor, like the kind of warrior who escaped the subway full of dragons. And even so, I needed him to do one last effort on his part, because he was the only one right now that I could think of that could save the president right now.

"The President! Rescue him!"

"They took him!"

"They're heading to Rockefeller Center"

"The portal is there, if they get it there we will lose it" I said scared

He looked me in the face, saw the watch on his wrist, and made a disgusted face. Something was not going right in his plans. But with her head, he nodded.

"You don't move from here!"

"Lisa continues to protect Adelis!"

"Someone quick pass me a motorcycle!"

A soldier listened to my son, started one of the motorcycles that had been in the parking lot, and put it near the entrance, towards where Cesar was running. He jumped up and got into the car, and he put so much power to the gas that he did a wheelie before speeding through the streets of New York. Now everything depended on him and his skill.
