Chapter 17: The attack

The whole building went on full alert mode instantly. Everyone in my sight are getting their weapon ready or leaving to get one.

I followed Arora back to the back room of the bar. When we entered I saw Komiko who was wearing a combat armour and carrying a large blaster. Soon Arora started doing the same.

I was already in my combat armour which I bought recently and my blaster. I learnt from my last tango with green goblin that you can never be fully ready. So hey, good for me. Then komiko looked at me and asked,

"Justin, take a weapon from the weapon rack. Standard blasters alone can't injure everyone. Some have very thick skin or hide so pick a big one."

You know what?, I'll gladly accept the offer. The weapon is called 'standard blasters' for a reason. It's just a basic gun. If there are any special race that can tank well, then I'll be f*ed.

I picked a big one just like the one komiko is using and asked her how that thing worked. She gave me a very short tutorial and by the time we are finished Arora was also ready with her weapons. This time she had her sword sheathed and was holding a gun which was somewhat bigger than the standard blasters I had.

As we were about to move, Arora shoved a small knife into my hands.

"Use this in case enemy is very close to you."

Wow, this is new. I looked at the knife, it looked like a throwing knife but it was good to hold. I placed it in my belt.

"Thank you, Arora." I nodded to her. Then both komiko and Arora looked at me seriously and asked me,

"Justin, you are a non combatant and I can see that you are not much of a fighter, if you want you can stay hidden here. But the safety is not 100% guaranteed. If you come with us, we have to defend or run according to the situation. What do you want?"

I decided immediately. Staying alone here i this ruckus is as dangerous as getting involved in it. Atleast if I go with them to fight, I would have a chance to escape if this goes the wrong way.

I immediately answered her,

"I'm coming with you guys. I'm not much of a fighter but I can learn very fast." I replied. I want to be a fighter. I don't want to run away every time there is a fight.

"Good, now we have to know the situation. It's definitely a big force, if not Kobe and Minta could have handled it alone. So we need to know who are they, how many of them and how strong they are." Said komiko with a solemn look.

"We should first look at the security notice. Is there any information about the enemy?" Asked Arora with a contemplating look.

"No, the servers are down. It's a well thought out plan and the enemy seemed to have an accomplice in the security department. Well, the building is still standing, they didn't destroy the building with their cannon. So it's seems like they came here for something or someone." Analysed Komiko.

"If it's like this, they mostly headed to the top floors and the bottom floor where vault is .There are some scavengers that didn't go to the trip this time. So they can handle them." Said Arora.

"So, we should just get some place safe but the whole ground floor is going to be a battlefield. If they have someone inside, they might know about the schematics of the whole building and they would swarm in the elevator area. It seems the whole Shi'ar empire ship was a ruse to lure out most of the combatants out." Komiko said this and sighed.

"Okay, let's get a move on. Justin keep your guard up all the time. We don't know the situation properly."

I just nodded to her affirming that I'll do so as she said. It would be a lie to say that I'm not nervous. I'm nervous alright but the will to improve also growing stronger. We started moving as soon as the plan is set.

This time the guild fell into the trap that was made for them. I can hear a lot of loud sounds of guns firing, just outside the bar.

The people in the bar formed a defence line around the exit and fired at anyone that tried to breach it.

Some even rushed out of the defence line to join in the fight in the entrance. There was only some stray ones coming here and they were handled by the gunners in front.

Suddenly the wall in the corridor in front of the bar collapsed and a figure shot through it. It just crashed on the defence wall formed in front of the bar.

The dust clears and revealed a tattered figure. He was one of the gate keepers, I don't know which one. He was not in a good shape. He was bleeding and it seems he has an injured arm. Seeing it was Kobe, everyone relaxed a bit but soon realised that he was thrown like a rag doll into this room.

He slowly gets up and stares at the gap in the wall he just came through. Everyone got tensed up and aimed their guns towards that hole. I do the same. We could hear sounds from that hole. It seems the enemy that threw the guy into a wall is being stalled by someone.

The gate keeper suddenly shouted,

"Back off everyone, fight him from afar. He is extremely dangerous close range."

The people here actually listened to his advice. It seems opponent is a melee combatant. One of the guy in the crowd couldn't help but ask,

"Who is it, Minta? Who is attacking the clan? What's the reason?"

Oh, it's the guy I talked to when I first came to this place. He still didn't avert his eyes from the gaping hole on the wall and answered the question.

"That was the Rizer clan. The one I fought is Rizer himself. That guy is a monster, only clan head Mordo could fight him. But he is not here at the moment."

"Then who is fighting him?"

"It's Kobe. He is the one that is fighting Rizer."

As he said that, I saw a figure that is atleast 2.5 metres tall and had spikes all over his body. He had reptile like skin and ogre like face. He looked familiar, he looked like Cull obsidian, one of the four henchmen(children) of Thanos.

I looked at him with shock but soon calmed down. It's no way that guy is here. Even if he is here there is no way any of them could fight him and hold him back this long. He could have killed his way into the building and no one could have stopped him.

Even though it's not Cull even one of his race might provide extreme trouble if we don't have enough fire power we are going to suffer.

As soon as the crowd confirmed his visuals they started shooting him with all the firepower the room could afford. I did the same but backing out to take cover just in case.

He broke out of the barrage with only slight injuries and started going into the crowd that was standing in the front.

So the fire concentration on him was lessened and he started a killing spree with a giant hammer like weapon. We trio, soon took cover and took aim where he is exposed. Shooting with the new gun was little bit difficult but I got used to it pretty quickly.

Soon another figure joined the fray, it was the other gate keeper, Kobe. He was bloodied, and tattered to say the least. His head seemed to be injured but as soon as he came to the bar, he started hacking Rizer with his twin machete. Soon a large gash formed on the back of Rizer.

"Raahhh" the giant Rizer sounded a guttural roar and turned his head towards his attacker. As he succeeded on attracting the attention of the enemy, Kobe got into the fighting position.

Soon Rizer reached Kobe, he raised his hammer above head and brought it down upon Kobe. But Kobe just moved to the side and cut his left side of the body. Rizer didn't mind it and continued to make follow up attacks.

Some of the people around wanted to assist and they started shooting the giant when there was an opening. It gave Kobe a leeway to avoid the fast strikes that are dished out by Rizer.

Annoyed by the shooters, Rizer just grabbed the metal debris from the wall and started throwing them at the direction of the shooters. Good thing we were already under cover behind a thick wall.

Some of the shooters were smashed into paste something lost their hands or feet, some were critically injured.

The fight got intense between Rizer and Kobe after the shooter number were reduced. Minta and other experienced shooters gave some support to Kobe, Komiko also joined them and was firing accurate shots at Rizer.

Seeing this was going to go on for a long time and Kobe was not in a tip top shape as he was too getting injured in the fight, some of the melee combatants started to help him out.

Arora moved on her own, she weaved herself through the debris and reached near Rizer. Soon she drew her sword and cut his hind legs an inch deep. Feeling the pain Rizer swung his leg towards the source but Arora already shifted her position and took cover.

She was not strong enough to fight Rizer head on, she could only support Kobe when Rizer leaves his guard down a little bit. I stopped firing my weapon as soon as melee fighters of our side involved. I don't have the accuracy or the skills to shoot a specific target in this fast flowing fight.

The battle continued in the same manner but the turning point came soon. Kobe was tired and exhausted due to all the blood loss. Soon Rizer's blow connected with Kobe's chest which sent him flying across the room. I don't think he is going to get back up any soon.

Seeing as his nuisance is gone he started focusing on the fighters that were providing support. Everyone were terrified of him and just as he was going to start a massacre, a loud sound resounded through the room,

"Hey, dumb Rizer, did you think I would fall for your stupid trap. I saw that coming miles away"

As soon as the sound came everyone except me was visibly relaxed. Rizer looked pissed and readied his hammer and was ready to fight this new foe. A man nearly of the same stature as Rizer came inside the bar. He had grey skin with tattoos all over his body, he was covered with blood but with the casual gait he was walking I don't think it was his.

"Mordo, give me the weapon, I'll leave the buildling leaving you alive. If you don't, I have to kill you to take the weapon myself."

Hearing that, Mordo chuckled. He shook his head.

"I don't understand, if you were that confident why didn't you come to me directly and why do these traps that don't suit your brain."

Hearing the mocking tone in Mordo's voice, Rizer growled angrily.

"Grrrr, I don't care anymore, if you don't want to give me the weapon just die."

As he said that he hurriedly ran towards Mordo in a full sprint swinging the hammer sideways towards Mordo's head. He just ducked his head and from his back, Mardo took his giant axe and swung at the raging Rizer.

The axe cut Rizer's head off like it was butter. Soon a deathly silence followed as soon as Rizer's head hit the ground with a thud.
