Chapter 23 by Debbuger Debbuger

What do we do?

Try and talk your way in (aggressive path)

"Alright, stay here, wait for the police" I ordered Lydia, after some protesting she agreed to stay put. True, backup is preferable, but I wished her to stay out of harm's way. I snuk as close as I could behind the hedges and went out. At first the three standing men didn't notice me. The skinny guy on the left of the shooter was clearly bleeding from his nose, meaning he was less in a shape to fight than the other two. This slightly improved my chances.

"Hey!" I called, all three turned to me, this gave one of the kneeling men an opportunity to jump on the man with the gun. He managed to grab the gun and shoot the shooter two times. He then shot the bigger man to the right of the shooter, missing the first time but hitting the fatty's knee the second time. I used this chaos to get closer, grabbing the gun from the new shooter, disarming him.

First thing I felt as I held the gun was some kind of a sharp object slicing the arm that gripped the gun. The second thing I felt was a strong punch to the face. I managed to recover quickly, only to see another fist coming straight to my face again. I managed to dodge this fist, and to get ready for more.

In an almost unnatural speed the next punches flew towards my body, I managed to parry most, but few found their target. They were hard and fast punches. Even more of them insued rapidly, and as I blocked, I managed to get away far enough to regain my poise. Whoever that was, it was clear my attacker wasn't one of the ruffians that I set myself on stopping.

My attacker was a female in black armour, a black bat-like cape, a bat symbol on her chest and a black closed mask covered her face. She was ready for another round of attack, I had to get ready too. As I prepared myself to the new onslaught I heard a feminine voice yelling from my left "Wait, Black! He's a cop! Stop!", but that did nothing to stop the train heading towards me.

She was faster than me and more agile, I had to change tactics. If her advantege is speed, I have to take it away, if her advantage is her quick strikes and retreat before I react, I need to close that distance. And as she came by this time, I started hitting her own punches, parrying them and grabbing her hard. Make her pay for continuing the attack.

She released herslef by using spikes on her gauntlets to slice my forearms, renweing her attacks towards my body and head. She kicked me hard in the sheen, making me go down on one knee as that leg flailed back, she then used my bent knee as a step to jump off and kick me hard in the face. I fell on my back.

"Black! Stop it!" the other girl yelled again, but the black masked girl didn't stop, just jumped on top of me to hit my face with fast punches. This was a mistake, this brought her too close to me, allowing me to grab her and smash my head at her mask, breaking it. The next blow rendered her ****. From beneath the broken mask I could see distinct asian features on the girl's face.

I heard sirens closing in, as the park began to flood with flashes of red and blue. The second girl, which now I saw was dressed in a similar armour with a bat symbol on her chest, only with purple sides and an open mask revealing her chin and full lips, came running. "Are you okay?" she asked me with an angelic voice, blonde hair popping beneath her cowl and her blue eyes with a hint of violet stared at me. "Stephanie? What are you doing?". Her eyes filled with terror, realizing how fast she gave up her secret "Shit.. Adam I will explain everything later, I have to go and take her with me, we can't let the police catch us"

Do you let them go?
