Nightlife
What do you remember of your nightlife
Excursion
I blinked dazily only to realise that we were being listened in own. My pause confirmed it his next words hid his intent. Answer my now damit
He slammed his fist on the metal table it shook with mana, one. Two. Three. Waves of mana reverb so this is a class 3 emergency. My eyes widend as I spoke automatically, my training kicking in
Well to be honest
The precinct is in danger.
It wasent much to sniff at just another mage going rampant.
Its compromised
Though their were an unusual amount of.. activities of the grid movement.
He nodded I saw sweat bead down his neck hidden from the cameras he sent of wave of unconscious mana in the room
We're in trouble.
For curruption has reached home base again.
The corporations are moving again.
And we began to chat as if it was a normal day
When all hell was about to break lose
Mechs units deployed
Wars waged
Money flowing to the wrong hands.. again
Two hours earlier
My chest sagged hard agaist me.
rocks crushing me against the ground, I gasped in pain.
My breath escaped my chest as the pressure lifted from my armored chest.
My mask tightened, then released at the first sight of light. I blinked like my life depended on it.
And because it did my right hand flicked from my wrist. A blade sprang from it, nearly cutting the throat of my suprised comrade. His black armor shook in fear then realized it wad just me. They relaxed and freed my left arm,shaking it loose. He helped me up as the rocks fell around me.
Sound began to register in my ears again, as pain seared my bones. I froze as i heard the cries and screams of my comrades. Only for an assault rifle to be shoved into me, i flinched back. He stared then wrapped the guns sling around my shoulders. The weight settling around my body i loo—
I was blown back from where I stood, were wind whooshed, rock followed. Flying no flipping backwards I bounced off the side wall as I saw a flash of green. Bolts of energy were shot around. Fwiiiieeem fwiiiiieeeeeem.
dropping into the grid as though from the gods themselves, it rippled..
Fear struck me hard as though in fear of a god decending to the battlefield.
Like a green droplet of water his energy fell throughthe grid as it received it hungerlily. the grid roamed the walls in waves, Causing the men to react like frightened sheep.
and I don't blame em. I rose up, shaking from the impact. As I begun to look up all i saw was absolute carnage.
Ratatatattatata blam, blam, two of our men went crashing into the walls. My gun went up with trained precision as i flicked th switch to mana charged bullets.
ratatatatatatatah the sound of my gun going off but they simply reflected...
Staring in awe i looked at the glowing green figure. the grid dancing around him,
Lights flashing my shoulder shook from the recoil, then it stopped. I yelled with a high pitched voice, "switch to physical rounds!" As it echoed through our coms, men began to scream in terror.
For the grid was following his command! Flowing ever smoothly like waves in the ocean, it crashed against us. Making us fall toghether under the pressure of the grid. the dark room glowed neon green,as it struck at us. like a constant it force. It shaded the room in green and black. the sound of the grid almost hit me as I dodged low i flicked the switch. Then fired again at the green man to no avail. It simply rippled of the air around him.
My body began to shake then
I.
got.
a.
grip.
Channeling my mana into my body.
using the enforcers method, I charged fast smooth. My body freely moving with the motions of my body. My legs pumping I ran up the the man and threw my gun at him setting it off to explode.
It did.
Kaboooooooommmm the sound rocked the hallways sideways literally! We all slide sideways expecting the gridded man to do the same. Then I cursed in the coms "he's and energy mage" a simple statement. With a mirrad of consequences,a string of curses echoed mine at that acknowledgement.
And we all fell down as the energy mag— no grid mage moved with the waves that is our grid. By the gods why can he use the grid. As the building slid sideways us falling to the wall. Gravity began to catch up and we fell to the wall now the ground.
The grid mage slid down the water walking with a carefree attitude. We charged blades of various sizes slashing at him. Mana hit through me like it was bumping against walls. Going through my blades rectangular structure was hard enough as it is. Except now I'm panicked! I hit my head with the pommel of the blade. Snapping back my focus head rocking we screamed loud. And died left and right stopping myself from moving forward i saw my men get slaughtered. Blood splattered on the wall green blades sung. as it slashed through my men eyes glowing green.
I summoned up the last of my courage to call my men for a fools gambit. My men without question began to run throwing their guns set to explode. As i stood their frozen, with a flash of green he was towering over me. A cool six feet three inches, and I could only stare up at him. Then my body moved with a flick of the wrist slashing at his neck
