Chapter Five: Retribution
-
Andaluza looks angrily at Apollo. “Why didn’t you fire?! It’s not like you to do this!”
-
The Gunslinger cocks his head to the side, as if thinking for a moment. He then calmly walks away.
-
Apollo aims the electricity at the Gunslinger. He then shot it directly at the circuit plates sticking out of his neck.
-
The Gunslinger pauses at this, and tilts his head to the side. He spits on the ground, the back of his neck slightly smoking, readjusts his hat, and suddenly spins around, pulling out both revolvers and shooting at the car, hitting the gas tank and causing it to leak. The gas spills out, approaching flames towards the front of the car. The Gunslinger watches for a moment, then proceeds through a nearby building.
-
Apollo shakes his head and launches himself at the gunslinger, slamming him at full force into the nearby building, setting him on fire.
-
Andaluza follows Apollo into the building. “Hold on I’m coming for-” Andaluza realized he had accelerated his fist too fast, so a flash of purple light erupted from his hand and started making the entire building spark and shake.
-
The Gunslinger gets up, ripping off his fractured glasses and partially burnt in the fire, revealing some of his cybernetics. “You should be worrying about your friends. They have 10 seconds by my estimates.” The gas continues to leak out, approaching the fire, as Katherine, Geralt, and Faye are left inside, about to burn alive. The Gunslinger dodges Apollo’s next blow, proceeds to the next level of the crumbling building, and jumps into the adjacent building. He then goes into the entrance, and dissapears into a nearby crowd.
-
Apollo ran back to the car and ripped open the bottom, pulling each of them one by one.
-
Andaluza helps Apollo remove the people from the upturned car. “Headcount…Geralt, Faye, Katherine, Malice, and Parapara. Shit, I think we forgot Mimi.” Andaluza turned to see Mimi sitting next to Malice. “This one has fire resistance right?” Andaluza’s relieved look soon turned to worry when he realized they lost the gunslinger. “Shoot, Apollo. You gotta fight him more! And why did I see absolutely NO fire today?! Were you trying to get his electrical fingerprint or something so we can track him later?!”
-
(Sorry about the formatting I’m writing this from school) Apollo reached into his pocket and pulled out a small blue card. “Uh, yeah, I was. It’s a pretty cool technology made from an old hotel key card. Pretty much like Ascendii forcefields.”
-
“Fuck!” Jack shouted, hitting the urinal and cracking it as the giant man shot him in the knees, turning around and fumbling to pull up his pants.
“Are you the fucking terminator?!” He said indignantly, tackling him into a sink, shattering it and the mirror.
-
Andaluza held the key and ran an electric current through it, showing the fingerprint bright and clear. “We got ourselves a winner.”
-
Faye gets out of the car and looks at the two Ascendii, gasping for air as she helps others get out of the vehicle when it burns. “Alright, everyone okay!?” She looks over towards where the Gunman was last seen, “Who is that guy?”
-
Apollo began lining up everyone. “That was a guy who calls himself the gunslinger. Hold on, you have a little molten stuff…everywhere. Just stand still, this will take four seconds, five if you scream.” Apollo looked down the line and held his hand towards the line. A violent breeze began blasting from the air around everyone, dusting off all the stuff that was stuck. “Well that took three seconds. One second to spare, who wants coffee?”
-
Faye looks up and shivers as the breeze cuts through her, “Oohhhh that was cold.” She looks up at Apollo. “Gunslinger…Could be an agent headed after us?” She ponders aloud…
