Waster

While Ori, Six, and Rebecca headed upstairs, Crystal and what was left of her unit finally fight their way to the stairs and start descending to the basement. They have to disarm one mine that'd been hidden, but even then one Mox had been blown to pieces by another that'd been stashed not far from the first.

The basement itself was dark, and smelt of blood and sex, which was a good sign despite the connotations of it, as the prisoners were likely being held down there.

"They're here, I know it." Crystal utters, raising his Submachine gun as they approach some double doors.

"It's quiet..."

"Too quiet..." another Mox adds, receiving a glare from the others for jinxing them.

Crystal kicks open the doors and steps inside with her weapon raised, only to find herself in pitch-blackness, all of the lights and every device seemingly being turned off. Her Cybernetic eyes switch to night vision, allowing her to see one of their targets standing at the end of the room, using a dozen dull-eyed prisoners as meat shields.

"You!" she growls as Kudou Yuko grins at her, his mouth splitting even slightly past his cheeks, far too wide for a regular human...

"I'm sorry miss, but these products aren't available yet, so, unless you want to sell those fine girls behind you, you should leave." he states, wrapping his hands around the shoulders of two girls, reaching over and giving their breasts a squeeze for good measure.

The girls don't react to him at all however, meaning they were already under the control of the doll chips. They were Kudou's slaves for all intents and purposes...

"You'll let them go or I'll blow your fucking head off, rapist." Crystal seethes, trying to get a good aim at the man's head but unable to because of the hostages.

"Haha! And how, may I ask, will you do that?" he squeezes the ass of a brainwashed girl, "With these pretty things protecting me?"

"I'll shoot them dead if I have to. Don't make me, it won't end well for you."

"Hmph, let's see if that's true. Girls, kill them." he orders the dolls who raise knives, forks, and other utensils combatively, only for the clattering of something metallic next to his feet to draw his attention. "Heh, a decoy?" he starts but doesn't get to finish as the thing explodes into a large electric burst, the EMP causing him great pain as his extensive Cyberware falters. His EMP shielding prevents him from being crippled, but that wasn't the case for the doll chips in the hostage's heads however.

They all scream simultaneously and fall to the ground, twitching and frothing at the mouth from the mental strain caused by the chips overloading.

*BANGBANGBANGBANG!*

Crystal fires a burst into Kudou's chest causing the man to topple over backwards from the force of the bullets hitting his reinforced chest. He shrugs off the rest of the EMP and gets to his feet, drawing a pistol and trying to fire back.

Unfortunately for him, the rest of the Mox open fire too, slowly shredding pieces of the man. He drops the gun and raises his arms to protect himself better, but the onslaught continues. His legs collapse as one of his knees is blasted completely off, forcing him to the ground.

Then one of his arms is blown off.

Then the other.

The fire finally stops as he falls onto his back, Crystal walks over and points her SMG at her face, smirking down at him. "Any last words, scum?"

"Suck my co-"

*BANG!*

His body jolts as the bullet rips through his eye and brain, finally killing him.

Crystal turns around to her remaining crew, "Grab the hostages and get them out of here, the rest of you with me, we're joining our friends on the second floor.

*BOOM!*

Some dust falls down from the ceiling of the basement, "Seems like they might need some help." she adds, not realising that the explosion wasn't directly triggered by Ori, Six, and Rebecca...

-------------

"Six, why not use your camo and-"

"Can't, sold it." Six answers, rejecting Ori's idea.

"Shit..." he grouses as the group reaches some large wooden double doors, most liking the head office of the building. Manaka was here, judging by the train of blood she'd left on the floor... Not only that, Oyakawa Yoshi was probably behind the doors too.

He glances at Rebecca, "Last chance, I really think we shoul-"

*Thud!*

Rebecca ignores him and kicks the doors open, her loaned pistol pointing directly ahead. "COME OUT! I ONLY WANT TO TALK!" she shouts and immediately begins firing at Manaka as she spots the girl standing next to a large hardwood desk.

The Tyger Claw deflects two bullets before dodging the rest, throwing a chair as she spins away. Six punches it out of the air, shattering it into a million splinters.

"I was hoping we could talk this out, but it seems that avenue is impossible now." Oyakawa Yoshi remarks as he stands from behind his desk, tearing at the sleeves of his suit and allowing his arms to open up, splitting into four thin individual limbs that all end in spear-like points.

"Fuck you!" Rebecca shouts, awkwardly reloading with her stump-like hand and firing some shots at Oyakawa. He just lifts the desk in front of him, using it to block the shots before sending it skidding towards the trio.

Six jumps over it and continues his attack on Manaka, while Ori and Rebecca roll to the side, both trying to kill the sandevistan user before she could blitz them again. His LMG hits her in the torso a couple times, but she blurs as he tries to end it, he quickly shoves Rebecca aside while backing up, but groans as her blade slashes him across the chest twice.

He gasps as some of his intestines stick out from the wound which spews blood onto the floor. All he could think of at that moment was... Shit.

[Stomach, Spleen, Intestines lacerated. Ribs fractured, chest perforated.] the nanites report as they get to work healing the damage... If he had that long...
