Role-play part 5

I agreed with Anatoli. Most of the people there were innocent, and I had already made up my mind about killing more civilians. But if it could save Dima, I would do it like breaking a match.
I wasn't meant for the metro. I was too loyal. The metro was for the dirty ones, the ones whose views on the world could be bought for a few bullets. Whores, I thought, while gritting my teeth.

 

I looked at the newcomer and said, "Keep low, for now." I turned to Benji and Odessa and said, "The two of you and Anatoli can take the front, in my opinion. I'm sure Darkbringer would agree in covering your backs with his fire-spitter, while me and the rest lay low and tag-along. From the looks of it, you guys are the most fit for combat, we'll give you covering fire in the mean time, if needed be. If we all charged in like a pack of nosies... well, we wouldn't last long, now would we?"

I readied my Saiga and nodded, "Aye, this will be fun."

 

Teddy, you are Anatoli, right? the name is not displayed and I'm sure I'll end up forgetting. must be the age..

*looking at the stranger, I could see no hostile intentions coming from him, only confusion and surprise at seeing such a disparate group appear before him*

'right, Engineer, welcome to our little group. you can either join us in our quest or get out before all hell breaks lose, up to you' turning to Anatoli and Benji I kept talking 'I agree as well, the only solution I can think of is leaving the victims with weapons and supplies enough for them to survive for awhile, and then they can decide what they want to do, although I very much doubt they will want to establish themselves here'

*we were very near now and I tensed in anticipation Jet had jumped off my shoulder and was now crouching in the shadows. after a few more metres, another bend opened into a small size chamber, where I could see two guards patrolling their perimeter. whispering I turned to Benji*

'two guys, 3 metres in front of us, patrolling, no hard helmets. you take the one on the left, I'll do the same with the one on the right. Can't see anyone else around. it seems to be an ante-chamber of some sort' I turned back to the rest of the group and continued talking. 'guys, as soon as we drop them, advance inside the chamber and take positions. stealth approach, only silenced weapons, ok? on my mark'

*I took a deep breath, and counted mentally 'till 3 while sending a prayer to whichever god might still exist*

'mark' with this I fired at the guy on the right, the bullet striking his head before he had time to comprehend what was going on. a look of confusion in his eyes as he dropped to the floor.

 

Yep, I'm Anatoli. Not a problem, I added it back into my signature.

The man Odessa had shot went down too hard, a loud thwack resounded in the Metro's tunnels. A guard was sent to investigate; I moved behind him and slipped the knife into his neck, lowering him onto the ground slowly. He was still alive, by the looks of it, but was incapable of making noise due to my knife placement. All that was heard was a slight gurgling. One more, I motioned. He was staring into the darkness as if something was lurking there, little did he know...

 

Thanx Teddy. my memory is not what it used to be.

*I turned to Anatoli and nodded a silent 'thank you'. my doubts about his loyalty started to vanish slowly. three down, a few more to go I thought silently. Benji had dropped his guy as well and the rest of the group moved into the shadows of the chamber*

'not bad, not bad at all' I said in a low whisper to no-one in particular.

 

I awoke for the third time and i realized i was hanging upside down by a chain with many other people in some sort of station. It wasnt on the platform of it but instead underneath the platform. As if there was some sort of room beneath the main room. This wasnt really a room but instead a cave of some sort. I looked around and below me were bodies everywhere. Mutilated and burned. I saw Wolf down there. I didnt say a word but instead just watched my old friend in a grave. A flint of anger entered me and i needed to get out whenever i could. I looked up and saw many other people hanging . I tried to shake and get the chain off but it was of no use. I shook for 5 minutes until i heard a cracking sound. I tried to shake the chain again as hard as i could until the lock around my ankle got loose.

I clinched my ankle with my arms and untied my legs. Then i fell head first into the grave. It was a 7 meter fall and it hurt like hell. But the bodies suppressed my fall. I got up and wandered through the bodies to a door. And silently killed a guard and took his bastard gun. ANd any spare ammo on him. I then threw his body into the grave with the others. I looked at Wolfs body and sighed then turned around and proceeded through the hallway.

 

I was astonished at the silent skill of my new group. I made sure my Tihar was pressurized, and jacked a long-range, armor-piercing tungsten flechette into the chamber. "How can I help?" I mouthed at the gruff, Saiga-wielding man beside me.

 

As i went out of the room and through the hallway i approached another room. This room had a ladder that went up onto the main platform. I heard a thump and some sort of noise but i ignored it and went toward the ladder. I climbed it and slowly emerged into the main floor. I hid behind a crate of boxes. And slowly begin thinking of a way out. Even though i had no idea where i was.

 

I turned to the Engineer and said, "Keep a good eye out in the shadows behind us and at our corners. Other than that, shut up and stay low and out of sight, if you didn't already know we're in a cult hideout."

I slowly slipped away from the wall, and quickly followed Anatoli and Odessa from behind.

 

I took the gruff man's words to heart. Taking the rear of the group, I paced slowly, fully pumped rifle ready. Scanning the dark hallway, I noticed something situated in a corner, something that made my head hurt with its very wrongness. "Look," I whispered. It was a massive, wall-mounted pentagram. It looked like it was made out of the skulls and bones of children.

 

For some reason the pentagram didn't shock me. I just give it a short glance and went back to looking through my Swarowski scope, covering the group from behind.
"We've got some friends who are knee deep in shit right now, so let's save the sightseeing for later, eh?" I said in a brisk way. If I'd been harsh to the newcomer, I would make up for it later. Now we had to move.

 

Just ONE day on the last fieldtrip of school ever, and you guys post two new pages Benjamin would try to hold a whole speech back there when we decided not to attack the station after all, but I didn't get the chance, so I'll just roleplay that he has been quiet until now.

I decided not to have a say in the discussion, as this was too late to discuss anything. What happened, happened. There was no telling now what we would do. The newcomer seemed to be highly frightened of the possible radiation at hand as he was wearing a full protection suit. He was a completely new and unknown stranger, but when I noticed how he moved every muscle in his body and how he spoke, I decided to trust him for now.

As Odessa pointed out two guards, it seemed that Anatoli had lead us in the right direction. Despite this, I still did not feel completely at ease in his presence, but when he surprised another unspotted guard, his presence was lesser in my mind. On Odessa's mark, I had shot the second guard with Boris' old silenced revolver, as my HK did not have a silencer, so I let it stay on the side of my backpack. Her tactic seemed rather clever. As we sneaked into the station, I silently pushed out the cylinder and inserted another bullet before I pushed it silently back in.

The sight of the skeletons on the wall did honestly not calm me down. It made me think of the reason why we even were there. "The cells would most likely be of the outskirts of the station as the noises and the smells from the prisoners is something that nobody, not even the Satanists, enjoy", I whispered. "Which means that we will not have to go far into the station, unless the cells are at the outskirts on the other side of it. Perhaps there is a way around?".

 

*A shiver round down my spine at the sight of the pentagram, not because of the symbol itself, or the skulls. I had seen worst in the zone. men who were friends until a second ago turn on each other and kill their best friend without a second thought, just because they had been unlucky to get caught inside a controller's area of influence. bloodsuckers rip someone apart within seconds. no I had seen many horrors and would still see them in my nightmares. the chill was caused becuase of the depravity the pentagram shouted about. I shuddered and pulled myself together*

'Anatoli, you've been here before, right? tell me about the station and its inhabitans. women? children? what can we expect?' As I said this I moved silently towards the small door at the end of the chamber and made a small meaowing sound for Jet to come to me.

*Jet heard me and came towards me. I looked at her and told her to get ready to search. for some reason she sometimes behaved more like a dog than a cat. I guess it was her survival instinct that enabled her to find cover, food and people she knew. I knew she would be able to lead us to Dima and Andrey*

 

I looked at Odessa for quite some time before answering her question. My mind was on other things... "Contrary to popular belief, the station is comprised mostly of slaves. Out of two hundred inhabitants, I'd say only forty are actual Satanists, and most of the Satanists are men; they rape the women for reproduction, and use the children for labor when they're old enough. The Satanists themselves are primarily concentrated at the outskirts of the station, while the slaves toil day and night in the center, endlessly digging..." I shuddered at the thought.

"Well, welcome to Pechatniki, right?" I said in a joking manner, trying to change the subject. The mood was somber, I needed to lighten it up.

 

After hearing Anatoli's speech, I was set on helping these people in their mission. Suddenly I heard a metallic creak from the air rifle in my hands. The main tube was bulging, its structural integrity ruined. Cursing under my breath, I knew what I had to to to preserve stealth. The gun could explosively rupture any second. I disconnected the air bottle and swung the useless weapon to my back. I took out my silenced revolver and whispered "Got your six" to my new allies.

 

I sat behind he crate for over ten minutes trying to figure out a plan. I was about to charge through to the exit until I heard some sort of fight going on. I approached it and saw some men taking in another man. Hoping that it was part of the group I decided to follow. My short recon made me go through a short hallway onto some stairs. That led me down three floors into the chambers deep beneath the station. As I searched the empty 'cells' one by one they were all empty. Then I hit a t shaped hallway where I looked both ways. To my left I saw a bunch of men coming out of a room. Then they all turned around and began walking toward me. I hid behind the side if the wall and without no place of cover decided to go for it and take these men down. I slowly waited until they were several meters from the corner and I silently popped out and aimed my Bastard gun and shot two short Bursts into the torsos of these men. I took dOwn four guys and then the gun jammed. Thankfully there were no more men. And for some reason they didn't have any weapons on them.

As I approached the cell I worried that the shots would obtain attention. But I kept on going. As I opened the door I saw a familiar face. Dima. He was sitting tied up in a chair. The room was very well li up and I could see his face. I entered soapy but to my surprise was jumped by a man to my right. He jabbed me twice. Then on his right hook I blocked it with my left arm and grabbed his neck with my right. Getting him into a clinch. I then kneed h twice into his head. When he was rarely knocked out I moved my right arm around his neck and pulled upward breakin it. Then let go. As he fell I approached him to see if he had a knife to cut Dima loose. But as I approached him I noticed someone to the right in the doorway. I looked and got hit in the face with the butt of a automatic shotgun.


Then everything went black. Again.

 

Ps. Sorry for my typing errors. I'm on my iPhone.

 

I ignored the pentagram on the wall and continued on, and turned to the newcomer, the Engineer, when I heard an almost inaudible mutter. I raised an eyebrow on him, and thought, 'what manner of man simply joins a group of stalkers that tell him, "hey, we're going to attack a station. you can come if you like."?'

I shook the thoughts away and proceeded with the mission.
