A story or not. Part 3 (Start from the first post) Part 3 Alys fired four shots in quick succession two into the wooden wall where one guard was standing, and two into the wall behind the other. She heard them drop, but she was afraid that the suppressor was too loud as she heard a shout from the second floor. “Well it wouldn’t be a fun game if I knew what I was getting into.” She laughed in response as she opened the door, pistol trained forward. She saw one body immediately, motionless just inside the open door. Only the rags of his clothing were visible. Not much blood. She heard foot-falls on the second floor and quickly scanned the room. She saw the staircase at the far end, and she noticed that it went up and down. She wasn’t aware there was a basement. Maybe that’s where they were keeping Rayna? “That’s not what I mean Dark Angel.” Kelvin responded. “This game has been modded from its store-bought version, it’s meant for a mature audience. Just don’t go in the basement. It contains— Shit! Hold on, you’ve got company!” “What?” She turned back to the door just as the body of a guard dropped to the ground. She heard more footsteps approaching, followed by more thuds. She waited a moment, since it did seem like he had it under control, she quickly turned back to her objective. Don’t go in the basement, he says. She smiled. It sounds like a horror movie. Ha ha. Why didn’t he want her to go down there? So what if there’s a monster? She was a badass too! She could now hear someone near the stairs on the upper floor so she quickly crossed the room. The lower area was mostly open space, with a couple of desks and filing cabinets leading up to the steel metal stairwell at the far end. As she neared the stairwell, a beam of light from a flashlight lit the staircase and she could hear someone descending. The beam focused as the figure descended. She moved around behind until she was standing at the top of the staircase leading down. Her vision pierced through the darkness downward until it found purchase on a large steel door blocking all passage. A security panel on the wall next to it, and the vault-like locking mechanism on the door told Alys it must be protecting something pretty valuable. Alys used the well as cover and descended toward the basement in time with the person descending from the second floor. She got a glimpse of the figure as they turned into the room, ducking just in time to avoid the searching beam of their flashlight. It was a woman, and the flashlight was attached to a pistol. It also looked like she was wearing body armor. “I’m taking fire, I have to move!” Kelvin reported. Crap! Too loud! She thought. The flashlight beam darted back to the stairwell, and she heard the shooter approach quickly. Alys knew that her position was compromised. She had to act fast. She grabbed a dart from her vest and quickly sent it flying towards the hand holding the pistol as soon as the woman reached the landing. There was a yelp and the pistol fell. The light went out as the gun struck the ground. Alys was already in motion covering the distance in a split second katana at the ready. Her attack missed swishing through only air as the woman ducked and sidestepped the blow with amazing speed. Alys was not expecting that and got hit hard in the side by a solid punch, throwing her against the wall with surprising force. She leveled the katana quickly to thwart the advance of her opponent and pushed forward, this time showing some of her own amazing speed. She delivered a glancing blow sending her opponent back into the center of the room, but the woman did not back down. “So you must be the bitch that Rayna was talking about.” The woman purred. “Angel something.” Alys paused. “Where is Rayna? Tell me and I won’t kill you.” “You’ll meet her soon enough!” She laughed and lunged forward, a dagger in her uninjured hand. Alys narrowly parried the attack receiving a minor cut on her left hand in the process, but was successful in knocking the blade out of her attacker’s grasp. “I warned you,” she intoned as she prepared for her final strike. “I’m back.” Crackled Kelvin’s voice in her ear. “How are you doing in there?” “I’m a little busy.” She replied with a quick tap on her coms, never letting her gaze drop from the unarmed figure before her. “Okay, the main compound area is clear now.” He continued. “There are a few guards searching the surrounding<b> woods </font></b>for me. They should be gone for a little while.” Alys moved in forcing the woman closer to the main door. Suddenly, she noticed a faint green glow at the edges of her vision, slowly growing in intensity. Then, the realization hit her. Crap! She poisoned me! “What was on that dagger bitch?” She screamed as she lunged forward. Her opponent back-peddled and tripped over one of the bodies near the door as she advanced. It was only then as Alys struggled to see beyond the green fog that she realized the bodies by the door were not real. They were decoys. “Oh, just a little sedative of my own creation.” The woman admitted with an evil chuckle. “Nighty night!” Her katana fell from her hand with a clang, and it took Alys all of her strength to simply tap her coms. “Night Wolf, they have me,” was all she could say before her mic went dead and everything faded to black. The only sound she heard was that of a heartbeat. “Shit!” Jill exclaimed disappointedly as she watched the timer slowly decrease as the game loaded the next scene. “I got captured.” “What happened?” Came a shout from another room of the house. “They poisoned me!” She shouted back, wiping sweat from her brow. “It’s a setup! They were waiting for us!” LOADING… So what will become of Dark Angel? Will Kelvin save the day? Or will Alys save herself? What’s in the basement? Will anyone read this? Send me your thoughts or your own version of the next part. I've set the foundation, but the storyline could go any number of directions. I would need to hear from someone in order to continue further. |
