23 - The Masking Of Sounds

The metallic crunch. The cocking of a gun could be heard as a small ping sounds from a dropped shell.

"Guardian, Blaze, stay put. I will handle this." A sigh sounded from a feminine silhouette as she dissapears into the shadows.

Some sounds of struggle could be heard as a crunch of bones breaking came after. The silhouette returns, giving a hand signal to call the other two.

They headed off to a designated area that looks similar to an armory. Somehow empty of traps or security, they went ahead and stolen some intelligence that they breached through a safe.

Blaze using her abilities melted off the lock of the safe by putting little fiery pressure from her Aura-Mana Manipulation.

"Alright, Captain. It's done." She cools her hands down by letting it rest.

The silhouette reveals herself under some dimly brightened light, Captain Shanina was proven. She heads to the safe and takes out the intelligence as she brakes a quick read before placing it into her metal briefcase.

"Alright, let's go, before we cause any further commotion." Chau-Min called out to them as softly as she could as she peeked through a corridor.

Blaze and Captain Shanina nodded as they exited as quickly and quietly as possible.

...

"P....le...ase...St....op!" A roughened voice shouted as she kept on shooting over and over again with a Guardian-Made Crossbow. "Ad..MIT.....Arres.t..." She growled as she muttered to herself random gibberish (probably the "Axis" Language).

"Nah-ah, you wish." Rampage said as he returns some shots with his FMG-9. Some of the bullets collided with a metal sheet and a boulder making thudding and clanking sounds. "Damn, this b@#£& is hard to fight against. She literally is faster than all of us." He grinned out as he continues giving shots and running to another barricade to hide behind.

"Grahh!~" The Axis Captain hid behind the boulder as she swaps her arrows to exploding ones.

She shoots a few to the barricade which causes it to give a shockwave, causing William to fling back a bit with some ear-ringing.

"AHH! Dammit." He shouted as he shook his head from the concussion.

"Demo, could you try to flank her ?" Rampage asks Demonia who was by the other barricade.

She made a hand signal that it was possible. Crimson using her Blood Manipulation splattered some sort of blood orb onto the wall causing it to splatter back to the Axis Captain.

Simultaneously, Demonia extends her portable barricade into a shield as she moderately walks towards the Captain. Rampage who is standing behind Demonia , takes a few burst shots to pressure the Captain before he went physical as he rushed to her.

The reason why the Axis Captain was stuck at that spot is because one of her Corrupted Guardian, Red has been managed to be yanked off of her during a firefight. Leaving her to be stuck with only the Crossbow Guardian Weapon. Her gun was also out of ammo as it was rather a small Sub-Machine gun.

The Axis Captain thinking it was over gave up resisting Rampage's hold as she accepts arrest. "Pl...ea..se Don't....Hu...RT..Me." She pleaded in her roughened and almost dead voice.

Rampage winked at her before he dragged her slowly back to the extraction point with his team. 

"And there, we are settled in our part." Rampage said as he removes his gloves and changes back the Crossbow and Cloak back into crystals and carefully placing it into a special container.

A support soldier that was assigned with Rampage's team was a little dumbfounded. "That was such a strange fight. It started as a losing battle but ended as a winning one." 

"Well, that's because we used a little thing called... Patience, silly." Demonia said as she sits under a tree, taking a rest.

"To be honest, yanking off the pocket dimension cloak was the hardest of them all. She kept resisting. Because she was weak after all, she just relied too harshly on her Cloak." Rampage theorised as he placed the special Containers into a Metal Briefcase. "Oh yeah, did you manage to get the documents, Crimson?" 

"Yes, yes, I did." She shows him the documents which she kept in her slingbag. "I will keep it with me just in case." 

"So what now?" One of the other Aviation/Mage Crew asked. "Just wait for the others?" 

"That is what our Mastermind said. We should just follow the order." Demonia said as she yawns and lays onto the hard stump of a tree that looks like it was going to collapse any time soon. 

Timber maybe? 

"Hey! You guys finished !?" Guardian came running to them as she held a metal briefcase. She places the briefcase together with the other briefcase in a separate compartment. 

"Yep, and we also manage to capture one of our Axis friend too." He points. "Though, she was rather a pain in the ass most of the time." 

"No worries, the Scientists and Doctors will revert her back to her original self. Though we still have to keep an eye on her as she is still under the Bio Mother's enhancements." Guardian explained as she waves to Blaze and Captain Shanina who was slowly waltzing. 

"How was your assignment?" Captain Shanina asked Rampage's team.

"Was rough...to be honest." The support soldier replied. 

"Yeah, what she said." Crimson replies with a smile.

Rampage gives a grin. "Most of the work was done by me and Demonia anyway. But, they still helped in a way or two." 

"Well, that's good that you guys are cooperating. Just make sure to keep an eye out for each other too. Anytime and anywhere, someone could get hurt." Captain Shanina explains as she ties up her hair and takes a sit in the van.

"Don't worry. We will." Demonia replies back as she looks towards William with a gleeful smile.

Meanwhile, Rose's team was having a little more than a struggle with the Second Axis Captain who wielded the so called "Perfect" Gun .

Pang Pang Pang~ The sound of shrapnel ricocheted every where in the warehouse that they were in. 

"Griffin just defend the hack. I will take care of this freak." Rose shouted through her Walkie-talkie as she was taking shots through her Sniper Rifle over and over again. Since it was enhanced with her Guardian, the gun also could shoot perfect aim and also enhanced the bullets speed of impact.

As the firefight between the two gunslingers continued, another team had completed their job but the Axis Captain they faced had vanished before they could proceed to arrest.

After some time, all five of the five man teams return with the briefcase they needed. 

"Sweet, a second one." Rampage chuckled out as he helped to strap her onto the van. 

"Yeah, she was really annoying to handle , her bullets kept perfectly hitting my direction, I had to rely on Rosa's Nature Aura to protect me from the shots.

"Yeah, my water shields couldn't suffice either, hahaha...." Aqua sighed out in embarrassment. "The bullets somehow were fast enough to break the waters density. 

"Well, that's why it is called the Demon Gun for nothing." Rose replied back. 

The teams reunited, heads back to HQ with the items needed with two people to be treated upon back to their original states.
