Cold Blades
Onasis walks swiftly to the squad, as she deactivates her beeping device.
Onasis: “Captain we should….
Her words are cut short by what she observes.
Onasis: “What is this captain?”
Another larger cylinder had emerged with the squad. At this point they are already close to collecting a larger sample, at least three times the quantity of the first. Two of the troopers have their weapons aimed at Onasis as Delgado step forward.
Onasis: “this was not part of our arrangment Captain…tell your men to dispose of the second containment now”.
Delgado: “If I recall doc, I am in charge of this operation. that means they do what I want when I want. You see it comes clear to me now…whatever this stuff is worth, gatta be a lot more than we are getting paid for. So what da hec,… fuck the payment…when I can get a larger deal elsewhere…say…sector nine perhaps”. Don’t worry doc, we’ll drop you off somewhere you can make it back to Texas… by which time me and the guys here will be too rich to give a shit.
Onasis remains silent staring at Delgado and his men
Delgado: “Ahh come on doc….do be such a tear jerker, it’s looks like that that get people killed and for what?....take orders from someone that aint better than myself…id say fuck em doc and join the party”
Onasis: “the only party you’ll be having is the one in hell”
Delgado: “Yeah whatever…here’s the deal doc…get in my way and ill have Santos here give you a practical lesson in projectile velocity”.
Delgado and the squad assemble a third cylinder while Onasis watches. By now Santos is more concerned with the get rich activities.
Sati: “Doctor…I am picking up a very faint heat signature….
Onasis: “so?”
Sati: “it moving…..doc…headed in your direction”
Onasis: “It’s about time” (As she whispers she draws away, moving to a more secluded area of the hall.)
Onasis: “Sati where is it….”
Sati: “It’s entering the hall now….get out of there”
Onasis: “and miss the show…not a chance”
A cold wind cut through entrance striking the statue as it passes and like it didn’t happen, die’s behind the statue. By it's nature it seems short frozen and extremely fast. In one second it cuts off all the torches in the hall, killing there flames like a generator suddenly exhausted of it’s fuel.
The squad is startled, they drop the third cylinder which by now is full, all trying to take aim at what had just transpired.
Delgado: “What da fuck just happened, Santos….where’s the doc…put a plug in her if you find out she got something to….
A metallic sound drives Delgado’s word’s back from whence they have come….a sound like a blade being slowly drawn from a metallic sheath, by an assailant with an intention to ensure his victims are aware of his intent.
Delgado: what da…open fire now!
The hall is engulfed by the spontaneous fire power of the squad….all aiming in one direction.
Onasis slowly makes for her cylinder, anticipating every step she makes not to be confronted by whatever is within the hall or hit by a bullet not meant for her.
Onasis: “Sati”
Sati: “It’s dropped its temperature, like it knows I can see it”
Onasis : “Keep me outta it’s way”
Delgado: “Cease fire”
The squad stops firing at his count, they rearm their weapons, Santos moves forward slowly to observe their kill.
Delgado and the other squad member have him covered….their weapons aimed ahead of him.
All of a sudden Santos is hurled back at top speed, in his chest is what appears to be a dark spike, he's scream echoes within the hall as he is hurled behind the squad.
He is dead on impact…the squad catches a glimpse of the dark spike before it withers away like a dark mist.
The sight is enough to kill the entire squad.
Cowasky: “What da fuck….”
The firing resumes but this time the target does not remain motionless, …another trooper is dragged from the rear and hurled into the air, the squad watches as his body is seared in two by what appears to be a dark blade striking the trooper’s air borne bulk, he’s blood twirling in mid air and staining the marble floors on impact. One half of his body drops across of the statue, the other where the rest of the squad is.
Delgado: “Pull back…. make for the entrance now…..”
The rest of the squad begins backing their way towards the entrance, firing their weapons as they move.
The wind like entity tears through their formation, causing ice-like feeling in the throats and chests of the squad members in it's wake. It ends it's movement at the hall entrance with the sound of two blades cutting the air as though they were stylishly swung in multiple directions with extraordinary force.
Delgado felt it's being pass through the defensive formation, he turns to see Cowasky and another trooper’s heads fall lifelessly of their shoulders. As their bodies hit the marble floors they shatter like brittle glass.
Delgado: “Cowasky…nooooooo!!!!!.....come and get me you fucker”
Delgado and what is left of the squad fire randomly into the hall shooting at anything and everything. But their efforts are futile as one more trooper is ceased, by this face wear and slammed into the stone wall with devastating impact, Shattering a greater portion of his shock suite. The impact is complemented by a spear like mist penetrating his heart, disintegrating his body. The shock suit falls to the ground like a shell striped of its organic content.
By this time Onasis has closed in the cylinder. She picks it up and heads for the entrance.
Onasis: “Sati…”
Sati: “Initiating suite lock”
The palm of Onasis suits forms a locked fist, sealing her grip on the cylinder's handle. Onasis cuts through the entrance. She observes Delgado and the remaining members of the squad heading for the door with two cylinders.
Onasis: “Enjoy the party captain…it looks like your last. Sati”
Sati: “Encoding sequence initiated”.
Onasis: “Pity really…you might have got some ass”
The hall door begin to slide down, Delgado realizes, the doctors intention all alonge, he and he's squad were meant to die on this mission.
Delgado: (A smile erupts in his face which becomes a raging laughter) “In this world or the next bitch....!!!!!
He turns around to face his tormentor ….the rest of the squad lie dead.
Delgado:”No better way to go…..COME ON!!!!......you want me come and get me Fucker….AHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!!!.
The sound of his weapon rages until it comes to still silence.
Onasis makes for the stairs as she does she can hear the door being forced open. A gust ‘sweeps from underneath it and speeds after her.
Onasis: “Sati….it’s after me…Initiate systems take over now!”
Sati: “System takes over initiated”
From the APC were he is seated Sati takes command of Onasis shock suit with what appears to be a joystick. Now her entire movement is controlled from the APC.
The back of her suit flips open, exposing two twin exhausts; a pair on each side of her rear shoulders. they burst into action and Onasis is air borne at high speed.
Sati: “Firing counter defense measures”
Her suit unleashes two grenades, which display the combined effects of a flash bang and a plastic explosive; the flash block the vision of anything ten meters in wake of her, the explosive impact knocks down boulders to obstructs any pursuer.
The effect buys her enough time to exit the pyramid still airborne.
Onasis: “Sati, initiate lock down sequence now”.
Sati initates the encoding sequence and the pyramid doors seal instantly, crashing shut the entrance of the pyramid. Onasis descends in front of her APC.
The sentry guarding Delgado’s communications APC lies dead in front of the vehicle, the hilt of a blade protruding from his neck. The diver has four bullet holes in his visor as he remains face down on the dash board. Sati Sharam and Cain Maloy had not failed in their expertise. There was never an intention to pay Delgado and his men.
As she boards Sati unlocks her suit to release the containment from her grasp.
Onasis removes her helmet, revealing an American woman in her early thirties with long dark hair, rather good looking with an uncompromising facial appearance. She tosses the helment across the APC and initiates a holographic screen.
Onasis: (Swinging her hair away from her vision)….Sati what about the rest of the squad.
Sati: “Dead”
Onasis: “Cain?”
Sati: “I put a bullet in his back after we laid explosives in the Strikers”…. He was a good friend doctor”
Onasis: “Reminde me to light a candle for him in Texas…for now lets get out of her”.
The vehicle's doors shut and two large shutters open above; from on top of the APC. A small bladeless chopper pulls out from above the APC, it makes a turn and speeds off across the desert.
It's exits from sight is followed by simultaneous explosions of all APCs, scattering their debries over the desert earth.
As the heat from the explosions cool and the fires die, a strange manifestation can be seen form the pyramid doors which have been forced open,........ two slightly spaced identical glows… the eyes of a watcher.
Onasis walks swiftly to the squad, as she deactivates her beeping device.
Onasis: “Captain we should….
Her words are cut short by what she observes.
Onasis: “What is this captain?”
