Chapter 21: Rosé Shadow (Part 1: Load Up)

"Thought you'd get out of this alive huh?" Grey asked. "Nope." Axle said with a smirk. Grey noticed the string in Axle's hand and that it went through the pins of the grenades surrounding his torso.

"Long live the Rosé Shadow." Axle said before he ran toward Grey while pulling the string.

BOOM!!!!

The explosion sounded throughout half the military base.

"Sniper rifle?" Axle asked. "Check." Carly said.

"AK-47?"

"Err, check."

"Handguns?"

"Check."

"Grenades?"

"Double check."

"Uzi?"

"Check."

"Silencers?"

"Check."

"RPG?"

"Still holding onto it, but check. Are you wearing that armor that was made for you for when you were scheduled to become Eight Thirty Two?"

"Yeah." Axle said. "CyberHuman girlfriend to help me?"

"Nice try Axle." Carly said unamused.

"Worth a shot... so, you ready for the slaughter fest?" Axle asked. "Ready if you are." Carly said before the two left the armory.

The duo ran through a few corridors before finding two guards locked in a staring contest. God knows why they were in a staring contest and this just disappointed Axle and Carly for some reason. He shook his head before sneaking up on them and giving them both headshots.

Carly picked them up and took the bodies to a nearby supply closet.

Once the bodies were locked up the CyberHuman looked at Axle with uneasy eyes. She had a bad feeling, and the thing that caused said feeling was the knowledge that Axle would do something stupid. She knew Axle was one for doing reckless things whenever it concerned his life. And after witnessing said events, especially him getting shot and going against his training program back in rehab, she couldn't help but feel uneasy toward Axle's actions. Axle somehow picked up on this after seeing her face and her uneasy eyes.

"Carly... What ever happens, don't kill yourself. If I end up dying I don't want you to live feeling like you could've done something to stop me... I want you to live a happy life, free from the pain of these ass hats, free from mourning should the worst happen... I want you to be happy."

"Axle..." was the only thing the CyberHuman could say as she was left speechless by what Axle said. "Come back to me... understand." She said.

"Always." Axle smirked before taking the RPG and the ammunition cases from her. "I'll handle all the shit from here, you just find a way to get out without being followed... stay safe."
He said before leaving her.

"Stay safe Axle, and please come back alive." Carly whispered quietly as she saw Axle run off.

Grey paced around impatiently. No doubt that he was wondering what was taking so long to put Axle back in his cell.

"Stone!! Get Thompson and his squad in here this instant!!" Grey yelled. "Sir yes sir!!" Stone yelled before running off to get Thompson and his CyberHuman retrieval squad.

Grey carefully looked at the large monitors and watched Carly take Axle from one of the members of Thompson's squad.

Stone and Thompson came into the room with four other men.

Grey looked at one of them, the same one that Axle as being escorted by. "You!!" Grey pointed at the soldier. "What's your name?"

"Wyatt Green, Cyber Ops sir!!"

Cyber Ops was a special task force consisting of soldiers with cybernetic enhancements. It was set up by Grey's predecessor.

"Why did you let Eight Thirty One take Ryder?" Grey asked, but it sounded like he was yelling and scolding instead. "She told me that you and Professor Bernstein ordered her to take Ryder to the lab sir." Wyatt told him.

"I gave no orders like tha..." Grey cut himself off when a realisation came into his mind. "She got her memories back... go find them both!!" The general ordered the group before they saluted him and ran out to hunt down Axle and Carly.

He went to the console and his voice was able to be heard throughout the base, "Axle Ryder and Eight Thirty One are loose!! Capture them now!! Find them and bring them to me!!"

"Crap." The armed gamer said before looking around as he heard soldiers running around. He was suddenly grabbed and pulled into a supply closet.

He looked behind him and saw someone. "It's you..."
