The City that Never Sleeps

Rockefeller Center, Manhattan, New York
March 6st
12:00 AM

Racing my motorcycle through the city, I go through the center of the street, as fast as I can. I look at my wrist, the battery only has 2% left, I will never make it. With one hand I reach for one of the locks of the backpack with the thrusters, despite the fact that the ammunition compartment is in it I need to get rid of it to save battery. A group of soldiers comes out of one of the buildings, I reach for my gun and start to shoot, I don't think I even hit anyone, but I made them move away, I accelerate the motorcycle, even more, to leave them behind as soon as possible. It seems that somehow the Empire did manage to enter the bunker in the UN building, despite the fact that my mother was assaulted, a group of Dolls managed to kidnap the president, mom asked me to rescue him because it seems that I am the only one capable of doing it around. Although I don't want to do it, I'd better do it because I don't want to be listening to her complain about why I didn't rescue him the entire flight back to Japan. 

A stupid enemy tank appeared in an interception two blocks from my destination, but its turret was not looking in my direction so I managed to maneuver to pass behind it without being noticed. I was doing the building, several soldiers come out of all places to shoot me, I put away my rifle to use it when necessary, a little ahead of me my great sword appeared, with my free hand I hold it on my back to protect myself from the shots. Due to the abruptness of the situation and the need to act quickly, the truth is that I don't have a plan. Just get in, shoot, search, and get out shooting more, the perfect recipe for something to go wrong.

I get to the stairs that lead to the lobby of the building, I do not stop the motorcycle at all, and with the impulse, I throw it to destroy the entrance. I can barely see the inside and immediately I saw a group of soldiers waiting for me, I grabbed Avalon with both hands, turned, and threw it inside, it was a devastating attack to see 6 soldiers cut in half because of that. I pick up one of the weapons on the ground, a shotgun, because of its weight it seems to be loaded. Without seeing the corridor or that there was there I shot blindly from a cover, I could hear shortly after someone screaming, just in case he did it again, another continuous scream where the other left him.  After seeing that the place was free, I picked up a bag with shotgun shells from one of someone's remains, reloaded the shotgun until I no longer accepted myself, and started walking down the hall. Suddenly my ears catch something, behind a door, someone reloaded his weapon, immediately I brought mine to the door and fired. The attack was so powerful that it created a huge hole in the wooden door, from which I could see the soldier falling backward, but it seemed that his vest had protected him, so I hit it again to finish it off.  On another watch I heard someone walk running towards my position, I picked up a chair and threw it down the hall where I was listening. As soon as he came out, the flying object received it, distracting enough for me to shoot it a couple of times.

I kept running down the corridor that that soldier had left, reloading the shotgun as fast as I could again, several shells dropped but I didn't have time to pick them up.  I came across a T-cross, I approached the end of the wall to look in one of the directions, it is clear, but on a pillar that was bright enough, I could see the reflection of how one group created a barrel to the other side. I pull out Avalon again, use it as a one-handed shield, and start running with it. As I do the barricade I started to shoot, pumping the shotgun with one hand very difficult and I did not get the trick, so I better throw the gun to one of the soldiers. I took out my pistol, from proto I received a couple of hits on my back, I shot at the front and threw myself to turn around and shoot the one from behind. I quickly check if I was injured somewhere but it seems that the armor managed to save me, I picked up the shotgun and continued running.
