Chapter 6
He got out of the building only to encounter a fierce gun battle going on in the front yard.
" Veronica "
" Yes Trent! "
" This is my only shot at getting into the senior league that drone over there is recording all our actions so we can mess this up, I mustn't be separated from this briefcase okay" he coached.
" Acknowledged Trent "
Over The Air; The Cyber Soldier is currently with the package ladies and gentlemen and probably looking for a way to go unnoticed, will he succeed or have to go through the rampage playing out in front of him? Reports just in that he terminated O'Neill.
In spain
Two men were watching this live stream on Hus laptop over a treat of popcorn and soda.
In Spanish; " I think I can bet my money on this new intake" he said to his friend who scoffed.
" who? That little twerp nah! just wait till nighthawk spots him he'll be deadmeat!"his friend responded.
Trenton surveyed his surroundings scanning for any place one can slip through quietly when someone shouted.
" He's got the package!"
'Damn! He had wanted to get out of this little party As Soon As Possible, oh well' he thought tiredly and his saw like shield formed in his right hand, using his left he picked up the briefcase.
" Let's do this!" He said
" Adrenaline rush detected!" He heard his system say and charged forward straight into the chaos using his shield for defense it wasn't so hard just dive, roll get up retrieve, block and throw, that was his routine until he was just a couple meters from the gates, that moment he threw his shield at a cyborg targeting him. Meanwhile unknown to him his main threat was nighthawk a termination soldier who was no different from a human apart from the robotic wings and suit he possessed he could almost be called normal. It was he who lobbed in a couple of grenades at Trenton.
" Incoming!" His system warned and he managed to sucessfully evade most of the attacks before little miss fate decided to move to the other side for a bit.
A grenade detonated directly where he was to take his next step and exploded catching him off guard. He was thrown a couple feet's in the air and lost his hold on the briefcase which slid a couple meters away from him, he crash landed in a clumsy smoking heap.
On The Air; Oooh! Nighthawk managed to separate Cyber Soldier from the package now let's see if he can make it to the cemetery... Wait! It had been stolen by another newbie Sinister Foxx!!" The presenter exploded.
In the carefully coordinated process of trying to descend low enough for a quick snatch and grab, Sinister Foxx had been in the background poised atop his Kawasaki being the opportunist that he would be known to be he revved up his bike and made a go at it and snatched it with his index finger hooking the handle he gunned the throttle and shot out of the building's Gate like a cork out of a bottle of cheap champagne, it had all happened so quickly that even Nighthawk was stunned! It took him nearly thirty precious seconds to recover and followed Foxx in hot pursuit.
Meanwhile Trenton stood up in a daze with his neck a little stiff within his helmet, he shook his head forcefully to clear his mind of the mental cobwebs clouding it and tried to comprehend what the hell just happened.
" Veronica damage analysis?" He prompted.
" Minimal" came the short reply
" Okay, could you give me a sit rep?" He requested
" Affirmative! You were knocked out by the formidable Nighthawk who had the intention of retrieving it however the package is currently with a newbie called Sinister Foxx. The cops having spotted the termination soldiers redirected their direction and are in pursuit" she explained.
F*ck! The last thing he needed right now was the cops in His way.
" Okay" he said evaluating his alternatives and retracted his helmet which folded back but remained a pair of electronic scientifically enhanced goggles which helped expose his face to fresh air and at the same time conceal his identity to a degree.
" This obviously wasn't going to be a walk in the park for me" he mused aloud and strolling to a place where a green pickup was parked.
It obviously belong to one of the dead soldiers, the profile feed provided by his suit's goggles gave him a detailed description of the pickup's details and fuel level.
" Commencing Modification " his system announced and suddenly his arm raised and flashed a blue neon light through it.
" what the heck are you tryna do?" He asked in confusion.
" Modifications Complete"
" I can hardly see the ..." He began and got shocked when it seemed the pickup came alive he was dumbfounded when he saw it move and alter its shape a little. It transfiguration form a rust bucket pick up to a weaponised Automobile was completed when a spark of blue lightening went through it and the body paint changed from a weird puke your guts after eating pea soup green to an enthralling black.
" whoa!" Hr said in awe noticing that the interior was also changed and was better than the exterior. The pickup was out fitted with a remote controlled MG-15 bolted to the floor of the pick up cart enabling the shooter to remain safely within it's confines.
" Perfect let's go" he said and turned the key in the ignition
On The Air; Cyber Soldier is on his way and about to join in the pursuit according to recent reports he's the one riding the strange armored vehicle...
Trenton kept to the middle of the road at a steady speed of 120mph when suddenly he slammed his foot on the brakes and made a quick redirection into a side street.
" What are you thinking Veronica?" He asked in alarm. His system had the ability to take control of any part of his body or even send his conscious mind to sleep and gain full control if permitted or the need arose.
" According to my calculations this is a shortcut where at the end of it, if all goes well and you keep at a steady pace of 150mph you will emerge from an intersection directly by Foxx's right giving you a split second opportunity for a quick snatch and grab" She explained.
" Are you sure?" He asked skeptically.
" High school Physics, Vectors" she replied like she had been insulted " trust me"
" Do I have a choice?"
