6.3. Medical
Fight
Helmut hand carried the lady while Micheal scout
ahead fully armed for any Vampire or Giants. They heard explosions and screams
but did not encounter any on their way out. They exit by the man-hole and found
themselves on the street lined with abandoned vehicles either burnt or damaged.
“The facility is half a block away.” Micheal told
him. They ran along and saw the holes created by the Nephilim, but they did not
encounter any resistance. They walked on and then saw the reason for the
non-harassed movement; there were a group of eight Vampires there standing
guard with two Nephilim alongside. The Vampires were armed with rifles and machetes.
“Damn! They have that guarded.” Micheal cursed out
loudly. He saw he saw then the dead Resistance members who tried to reach the
medical facility.
Helmut lowered the injured lady and rushed forward.
He had seen too many innocent deaths to let another one die. He drew and swung
the sword at them. He reached the Nephilim who stood in his way, deflecting his
sword, while the other hit him at the left shoulder. It was a bone crushing
blow but he had move his body to had it barely hit him hard. He went down on
his knees and the first Nephilim he struck, swung the mallet at his head.
It was a death blow.
But the blow did not come. Instead the Nephilim was
charged by a flying creature. The Nephilim was pushed back and fell among the
Vampires.
“Gargoyles!” The Vampires screeched out. The above
sky was filled by a half dozen of the flying creatures which were swooping
down. The Vampires reached for their weapons, but the Gargoyles were more
practical. They hurled down their own projectile; stones fashioned for throwing
objects. The projectile stones were like missiles with a deadly impact
precision aimed for the heads. Three Vampires went down in seconds while the
Gargoyles went pass them. The other Vampires fought back with their weapons,
and shot at the fleeing Gargoyles. They hit one of the Gargoyles; blowing off
part of the left wing.
The Nephilim struggled in the grasp of the Gargoyle,
and at a height of fifty feet, the Gargoyle flew the Nephilim towards a
building wall. The Gargoyle released the Nephilim like a released bomb at the
wall. The wall came crumbling down with the Nephilim.
The other Nephilim stood its ground between the
Vampires and the landed Gargoyles. The Gargoyles looked like a bird like
creature with wings, but its facial expression was distinguished by the cranial
bumps that give it the appearance of growing horns. Its ears are swept back
with the pointed edge, while its open jaws reveal the fangs. The creature was
shaped like Man, but was covered in stone texture that formed its skin that
also was of the same hardness in material. Its height was about that of Man,
but with the spread of its wings; it reached the span of twice its height. Each
creature carried a bag slung across its chest, holding the arsenal of stone
projectiles.
The Vampires opened fire with their phasers, but the
Gargoyles all flew up in different directions while hurling their stones at the
Vampires. One of the Gargoyles did not make it, with half of the lower body
shot up, but the others took their tolls on the Nephilim which was a bigger
target. The stones thrown hit the Giant at the vulnerable spots, and the later
collapsed on its knees. It was then Helmut moved into action recovered from the
crippling blows. He rushed at the Giant and thrust the sword into its face. It
was a killing move, and the Giant collapsed down unmoving.
Micheal had his revoler aimed at the Vampires and
took down two more before the rest flee for safety.
Helmut grabbed the wounded lady but she was past
saving. She had a shot into the side of her neck during the battle. He screamed
out in frustration and then looked at the Gargoyles.
“Who are you?” Helmut reply was a bad knock on the
back of his head rendering him unconscious.
