CHAP 23: Chaos

Having finished saving the little girl, i picked her up, and got back to my bike with the other two women. When i got there, i saw Olivia groggily looking at her surroundings, probably in confusion of how she had gotten here, when she saw me with Sister, she smiled out of relief, i got closer to her, to which she took the little girl off my backs and firmly hugged her.

"I'm so glad you're safe."

Olivia is really attached to those kids. She turned to me with an questioning look.

"Where are Courier and Brawler?"

"Dead, both of them."

"What? How?"

"Some Executioners stayed behind, and both of them were very injured, i managed to save you, but not them. I'm sorry."

She seemed saddened by the news, but then she looked at Cutthroat.

"What about her? Wasn't she capable of saving them?"

"She was hurt aswell, i didn't have to save her because she was in a position with more cover. No one here is guilty, because no one was capable of doing anything. Atleast i killed the Executioners who killed them."

"What about her, isn't she guilty? If so, why is she alive?"

She was pointing at Doctor as she said that.

"Don't worry, i'll take care of her, it's just that she can have some important info, and, sadly, it will be more helpful for us if she is alive. I hate traitors, but i hate dying more."

She seemed bothered i didn't kill Doctor, but she understood my reasoning. It's interesting that Olivia passed from an innocent civilian to an person willing to kill in less than a day.

"We should return to the city, and plan how to save Brother."

I said.

"What about her, won't she possibly betray us?"

Olivia said to me while looking at Akira.

"Don't worry, i'm very sure she won't betray us."

I sat on the bike.

"We'll go in the chopper."

The other got on the bike as well, driving it was kind of hard with so many people, but atleast the helicopter was close to us. When we got there, i put my bike in the cargo carrying compartment. I took Doctor off the back of it, and strapped her to one of the seats. I looked at the control panel, and realized i wouldn't be capable of driving this optimally, i had piloted many things in my old life, but this was too advanced for me to understand with no prior knowledge.

"Who here can pilot this thing?"

Akira put her hand up and sat on the pilot seat, i would act as the co-pilot. She clicked some of the buttons then pulled the collective, which made the chopper go up, when we reached optimal altitude, she pulled one of the handles back, which made the rotor blades go from vertical to horizontal, which made us fly rapidly back to Kansai. It were just some minutes and we had arrived back, the rotors back in vertical, and we slowly flew above the streets, it seemed the Executioners had ordered an lockdown and put an general order for the hunt of the Akudama, which meant, us. All of us were being hunted, minus Doctor, me and Akira. So that was the trade Doctor made. I wasn't being hunted because they didn't even know i existed, but they put up an reward for anyone using my mask, and they weren't aware Akira was an traitor. Civilians flooded the streets, making manifestations against the incapability of the cops and Executioners, we passed through the central streets, where an bunch of protestants were in front of the police precinct, the robots were trying to contain them. We heard something through the helicopter's radio.

"All protestants have been considered Akudama, you know what to do."

As we heard that, the robots started shooting at the civilians, and some Executioners flew down and started killing everybody. That was an spark to an all-out fight, the protestants started throwing molotovs, and picking up things out of the streets to fight against the cops.

"Akira, go to the West Zone."

Kansai was divided in 4 zones, the South zone was where the big companies and the mansions were, West was the house of the middle class, where most of the houses and apartments were, East was an comercial district, most of the businesses were there. And finally, there was the North zone, an place infested with crime, the slums of the city. I pulled out my laptop, and used the backdoors i had put on the police systems, acessing the city's alert system, i warned about the attack the Akudama were going to make at the end of the day, which put even more lumber in the fire.

We went back to the apartment i and Olivia lived in, landing at the top of the building. Getting out of the chopper, we entered the elevator and went to my floor, where we entered my apartment, it seemed the building was desert, everybody had either hidden inside their homes or went out in the streets, which meant no one saw us. I put Doctor down on the ground, and sat on the sofa.

"It seems our actions have made things frisky. We'll take profit from the chaos. I put an locator in Brother's backpack, and can see that his location is the Police Precinct. Sadly, i and Doctor are the only ones capable of walking out on the streets without being universally hunted, even Akira over here is not safe considering all of the citizens will try to kill her."

"So you'll need Doctor?"

Cutthroat said.

"Or i could work alone."

I explained.

"DON'T!"

Olivia really was affected by Brawler and Courier's death. I hugged her and whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry about me, i know how to take care of myself, i need you to stay here and make sure these two don't go after me, and make sure Sister is safe. I'll take Doctor with me, okay?"

"Don't let her backstab you, please."

"I'll make sure she isn't capable of that."

"And don't die, i can't lose you as well."

"I won't."

I took Doctor in my arms, and saw she was almost waking up. I left my apartment before she could.
