[Hells Sniper]

Jacob laid on the ground, his head was pounding and he could even feel a few glass shards somewhere on his face. He moved his hand to his throat and rubbed it, he could almost feel him still being choked. Jacob: What the fuck do they feed this guy... Jacob moaned, he could feel some glass all around his leg, and his heart was beating rapidly. The pain was excruciating. Jacob moaned, he could feel himself about to black out. He shook his head and put his hands on the ground. He brought his legs upwards and was now on all fours. That's when he heard Ed speak. Ed: Fifty-seven percent completion. Approximate time remaining is four minutes, thirty-nine seconds, sir. Jacob urged himself to get him, he had to force Kolya down long enough for him to grab the data, activate the self-destruct sequence and get out. Jacob knew his pilot was dead, and he knew he only had a small window of opportunity. Jacob pushed himself upwards, he groaned, as he could feel some of the glass cut even deeper into his skin. He turned around, and noticed that Kolya was facing the monitor the download was at. His guard was down and his weapons were scattered. Jacob only had one shot at this. Jacob cracked his neck and looked at Kolya. His back was turned to him, and Jacob immediately dashed forward. Jacob grabbed the combat knife from his chest guard and held it in his hand, ready to strike. Before he could strike however, Kolya had turned and looked at Jacob. Jacob ran forward and crashed into Kolya's stomach, using his free hand to wrap around Kolya's body and using his own weight to force him backwards. Jacob used his other hand, the one with the knife to slam the knife into Kolya's leg, cutting straight through the armor. Jacob looked upwards and saw the time on the monitor. Three minutes, twelve seconds. Jacob used everything he had to push Kolya forcing him into the monitor once again and shoving him through. The glass broke, as Kolya and Jacob both fell, with Kolya taking most of the damage. Jacob stumbled forward as Kolya crashed to the ground. Immediately, the time remaining switched to another monitor. Jacob turned to see Kolya still on the ground, the knife still in his leg. Jacob could see Kolya about to turn and stand. But Jacob ran at Kolya and kicked him right in the side, causing him to flip over onto his back, and causing him to fall even more on the knife. Jacob grinned, he had Kolya down, he turned around. Two minutes, twenty-nine seconds. Jacob turned around again and walked towards Kolya who was a feet away. He grabbed him by the back of the neck with one hand, and by the extra cloth from his clothes with the other hand. He leaned down and spoke to Kolya. Jacob: Knives cut far worse than words, don't they? Jacob grinned and hefted Kolya up, a few feet of the ground. He spun Kolya and tossed him head first into another monitor. Jacob groaned a bit as he tossed Kolya, the glass in his face and his legs cutting deeper. Jacob turned to face the closest monitor. One minute, fifty-four seconds. Jacob then spoke to Ed. Jacob: Ed, as persistent to Article 15F-C5 of the San Angeles WINTER CONTINGENCY Declaration Supplemental Orders, I, acting Agent Sharpmen, ID number S-J-0-2-8-R-0-6, activate the self destruct sequence on a four minute timer. Jacob paused and looked over to Kolya as he continued to speak. Jacob: Override all superseding accounts with lockout code Alpha-Nine-Whiskey-Winter-Seven. Jacob waited, the pause was overwhelming...hopefully the codes would work, the lockout one was older, but as an Acting Agent, he should be able to use it to lockout every single account in the network. Moments later a very robotic Ed spoke. Ed: Access granted. Acting Agent Sharpmen, self destruct sequence activated. Four minutes remaining. All other accounts locked out, system will shut down in two minutes. AI known as Eternal Darkness will now purge it's own system, manual override is now locked down. There was a pause before Jacob heard the male version of Ed speak in a low tone. Ed: Been an honor, Captain. Good luck. Jacob nodded. Jacob: Thank you, Ed. Jacob heard an alarm beep as he watched the hologram of the moon begin to disintegrate. The timer continued to count down.... Nine seconds. Jacob could hear Kolya start to stand and he immediately ran to the storage device. He had almost done it, everything was in place, the final thing being to leave Kolya and watch the fireworks. Once Jacob arrived at the storage device he heard a beep. The monitor then blinked. DOWNLOAD COMPLETE Jacob grinned and grabbed the storage device. Meanwhile: By the time Athios had made it back downstairs, Jaclynn already had the civilians in her warthog. Everyone else was ready to move out. Athios took the driver seat of the closest hog, the one with the turret. Athios: Next target are DeVamos and Pollen, other side of the city. Let's move people! Athios hit the gas, followed by the Cross siblings. Sitting next to Athios was McKinley, he looked at Athios. McKinley: Sarge, what about the family? Athios: DeVamos and Pollen are very close to the evac center. Once we have them, we're heading back and dropping them off. Though, Folee and I are gonna head out and go get Washington. Athios yelled a bit so Folee could hear him. Athios: Hear that Folee? Folee: Yeah, Sarge. We're getting the Washington guy, understood. Athios nodded. He hoped they could do it. Concurrently a few miles away: The fighting was still pretty brutal for Omega Legion. They had killed about four of the twelve brutes that had dropped in on them, and they were cautiously picking off the rest. By now, they had all regrouped to the center of the rooftop, as the brutes closed in on their position. Troy fired off the last few rounds from his assault rifle and immediately switched to his sidearm. Troy: All out of MA5 rounds, anyone got spares!? Colby immediately reached into his pack as he fired a few rounds of his DMR. He grabbed two magazines for the MA5 and tapped them on Troy's helmet. Troy nodded and grabbed the extra ammo, swiftly switching his weapons once again. Carmicle: We can't take much more of this! Carmicle yelled out as he fired a few bursts from his battle rifle, killing one of the closest brutes. Troy: We have to hold the position, sir! Carmicle: This position is ab--- Before Carmicle could speak, a spiker round hit him in the shoulder, sending him backwards a few feet. He groaned as Limos hid behind the cover and turned to help him. Carmicle: I'm fine! Keep...fucking firing! Meanwhile: Dangerus had left the bridge of Xyrho's flagship and headed back to his phantom. He was thinking about the information that was received. Dangerus: Vanguard...something a brute has already faced. Dangerus paused. Dangerus: And something that can destroy everything I have worked for...but then again, what have I worked for so far. If not to prove the brute's dominance. Dangerus grunted as he climbed aboard his phantom, which left the ship shortly after.
