"Kumar, we're going in a vacation to Pokhara. Don't you want to travel with us to see the beautiful view of Phewa Lake, the Himalayan museum or do some paragliding?"
"Yeaah...That's sound like fun but no."
"Why? you can just buy that game when we return from our vacation."
"Mom I've already told you. There limited stocks available in the market. Once its finished it will take some to refill it. By then most of my friends will be way ahead of me and I don't want that."
My mom gave me a helpless sigh and replied,
"Fine then. We're going now. remember to lock the door properly after we're gone. And be sure to answer our call. Don't always stay at home and play games. Go out sometimes and make friends.... And I mean Real friends not online friends."
"Okay mom. I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry about me. Just enjoy your vacation."
Then my mom handed me the keys.
I looked at my parents hopping onto a car when my dad shouted suddenly.
"Wake up Chukapop500."
Huh? Strange how did my dad knew my gamer ID and what's he saying? Wake up? From what?
Then suddenly I felt a deep aching pain on the right side of my face.
"Wake up Chukapop!"
Again the same pain was felt but this time it was on the left side of my face.
I suddenly opened on eyes, wide awake. Looked at Max who was just raising his hand trying to slap me again.
"Fuck Max!! I'm awake now. Did you had to slap both of my cheeks that hard?"
Max stopped raising his hand,put it down albeit regretfully. Yes! This fucker was feeling regretful about not being fast enough to slap me again.
"Fox girl told me to wake you up."
"Can't you just wake me up normally? You stupid Dumbfuck!"
"Next time"
"Next time huh?! Next time?! Next time I'mma slap your fucking wobbly cheek so hard that even pig will feel ashamed comparing its cheek with yours." I thought in my mind while angrily staring at Max.
Then The girl...or should I say miss Fox suddenly said,
"Get off."
"Where are we?" I asked.
"Vanity tunnel. Be ready."
"For what?"
As soon as I asked. I heard Max speak.
"Oh Dear..."
"What?"
"We're fucked up. The Messenger of Doom is coming in our direction."
"Huh?"
As a reply to my confusion, He pointed at the incoming armoured vehicle with mounted machine gun coming to us at a distant road.
"Take this you might be needing it later."
Saying that she handed me several magazine filled with 5.56×45 mm NATO rounds.
"When did you filled it up?"
"When you're sleeping like a sloth."
"OK.....anything else?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"The guys coming for us this time are the elites. Compare to them the one who chased us are like kids playing with toy guns. They are equipped with top-notch gear. To you guys, these elites are like killing machine or terminator.They can kill amateurs like you more that several in 5 second. So try to stay in one piece and not be made in Swiss cheese. "
"...."
"...Thanks, that's a heck of a pep talk you did there. Just the right thing you wanna hear when you are going to a gunfight. Keep your mind calm and gives the courage to face them, doesn't it?."
I replied to her sarcastically.
She ignore my remarks and took out a rifle case, opened it and started to assemble a sci-fi looking sniper rifle. After finishing assembling she carried on her back and started walking.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"To cover your asses."
"What?"
"She meant to cover our back."
I realized what Max had said when Fox girl ran towards a place with higher vantage point.
"Here are some grenades and a radio."
Max replied and handed me few sci fi looking grenade and a radio.
"Where did you get it from?"
"She gave it to me and you. Told me that some bitches are coming to kill us when you were sleeping. These are for.....You know for staying alive."
"...Right."
I replied to Max then started to reload my rifle and Max did the same.
At a place not far away from us were some barricades. We decided to use that as a cover for us. After hiding behind the barricade I took a deep breath to calm my mind.
"You're ready Max?"
"Yeah man. Let's fuck them up."
"Took the word right out of my mouth."
I grinned at him as he did the same. I peeked from the side while aiming at the incoming vehicles.
As the armoured vehicles were coming our way, Max suddenly said,
"By the way Fox girl just planted some sci fi looking thing on the ground. It must be a Landm-"
"BOOOOOOM!!!!"
An armoured vehicle just flipped over in flames while the rest of them suddenly stopped on their track.
"-ines"
"Yeah I can see that."
"Her car must be some fucking weapon armory!"
I mumbled to myself and became ready for the incoming attack. And Boy does their battle gear looked badass. With a futuristic looking gun and gear, these guy don't looked like your average run-of-the-mill people.
They didn't panick as much as I had imagined just by looking at their orderly and neat formation.
I took a aim at the one who was the most close to me and fired.
"BAANG,BAANG,BAANG*"
"BAANG*""
Two shots just hit the body armour whereas the third lucky shot had found its way to his neck. He just collapsed while choking on his own blood. I could tell that he is not going to survive just by looking at him.
I felt nauseated but now was not the time for that. Both of our lives are at stake. So I kept firing at them while Max had also shot at the shoulder of the another one. And then?.... then they took cover behind their armoured vehicle and started to shoot at us with a barrage of bullets.
Just as I peeked I saw a man on the mounted machine gun readying the machine gun's bullet and aiming at the concrete barricade we were taking cover on.
My heart felt like it just stopped when he pointed the machine gun muzzle at me. Then suddenly,
"BAANG*"
The head of the man mounting the machine gun exploded when he was just about to pull the trigger.
Then I realize what had just happened. Never have I ever liked that psycho orangutan this much in my life than right now. I took a deep breath to calm down my fast beating heart. Looked at Max, Same situation. With some sweat on his forehead. Then again return fire at them.
I could see some head exploding at a certain interval of time. This eased some pressure on us. Then Max took out a sci-fi looking grenade, pulled the pin while holding it for few second and throwing it towards the people taking cover behind it.
"Grenade!!!"
"BOOOOM!!!"
"Too late Sucker!!!"
Max shouted and laugh maniacally when the armoured vehicle flipped to the side with just the blast then I could imagine what had happen to those taking cover behind that vehicle.
Not gonna lie. I could literally see hands and other body part flying in the air. I looked at Max with a dumbfounded look. The first thing that cross my mind was, "How the fuck did he throw the grenade so accurately to land just under the armoured vehicle to the other side?"
"I was always good at throwing things plus I had practice throwing grenades before."
As if sensing my confusion, he replied. I couldn't help but give a thumbs up to him and say,
"Fantastic man but be careful when throwing them. Don't wanna die exploding with all of my body parts flying in the air several metres high in the sky."
"Don't worry. I got this."
Max reassured me and replied.
This battle went on for several minutes. We exchange bullets with them just the way they did with us. Our ammunition were starting to run low even when we were using it sparsely.
To that point, Max had hit several people on their body parts but all of them were not fatal enough for them to die. I also hit some people on their body parts which were of course non fatal.
Max and I had escape death several times with the help of our helmet. Some bullet went scratching the side of the helmet whereas some had hit just the top part of it.
Everytime it touched the helmet I could feel my heart being cold out of fear and my hands slightly trembling but again I would calm myself down.
" Fuck, All those movies I had watched where the heroes go to the battle just wearing the body armour and not a single fucking hemlet must have been a big fucking lie. If I had done the same thing just to look cool then I might be already on my way to stairway to heaven, literally!"
I said angrily about this and again concentrate on the ongoing battle.
Max looked at me and let out a chuckle. Then he said with a casual smile.
"At least things couldn't get worse than this."
Just as he finished his sentence, a truck with a big container rushed towards the armoured vehicle and stopped right behind it.
Then the container opened and a big sci-fi looking robot with a person piloting from the inside came out. It had a big machine gun attached to it on the left hand and was carrying a big ass knife on its right hand.
"Yeah? Well it just did."
