Chapter 12

Nero

Nero nodded at Nyx, feeling his own blood boil at what he’d just seen happen. Nyx jumped from the window with her sword in hand and landed quietly. They were off to the side of the confrontation and slightly behind the gang, so they didn’t see her coming right away as their attention was on the leader.

‘We're sorry, please, don’t kill anymore,’ he begged.

‘Why? You should be thanking me; that’s one less mouth to feed. Now you can give us his share of your supplies.’

Nero jumped down, too, after grabbing his shotgun. The camp leader didn’t answer, he’d seen Nyx approaching and looked up at her in surprise as she took hold of her sword in two hands. Spike turned in time to see her swing the blade, as did the daemon dog, moments before she cleaved it in two, killing it with one hit.

Spike backed off, the dog handler looked shocked while others raised their weapons. Nero was ready, though, and fired at one of the six who held a shotgun of his own. He dropped to the floor as Nyx adjusted her grip and whipped her sword around to take a swipe at the dog handler, who was fumbling for his weapon.

‘Get him,’ Spike yelled at the two guys in the gang who were not dead, pointing at Nero, while the katana girl faced off against Nyx.

Nero adjusted his aim towards one of the two guys moving to get a shot on him and fired. The shot caught a glancing blow against the gang member, who yelled in pain before raising his own gun and shooting back.

Nero ducked left towards some barrels and boxes as the bullets chewed up the floor where he’d been standing.

The wounded man staggered forward and fired again. Nero ducked and brought his own gun up to bare and fired off another round, this time catching the man full in the chest. He dropped to the floor quite dead.

The other man had run over in the meantime and disappeared behind the same cover Nero was close to, but around the corner. Nero ducked back and started to move around, approaching the side that the gang member had moved to before whipping around the corner to see nothing.

Nearby, swords clanged. Nero looked over. Spike was on the other side of the two girls, not really much of a target right now.

Focusing back on his own predicament, Nero edged forward and jumped out around the next corner, still not finding the man who he’d seen duck back here. Nero frowned and looked back the way he’d come. Nothing.

‘Yaaah,’ shouted someone above him. Nero ducked left, throwing himself to the floor as the man’s gun fired, missing him. Nero rolled to his feet in time to see the man leap down beside him and smash him on the side of his face with the butt of his gun. Nero went with the motion of the attack and spun in place, kicking his leg out. Nero caught the man’s gun and knocked it wide.
