Garden of Eden
The figure who greeted them
was dressed in a toga wrapped on a beautiful lady with her long hair flowing
like the water current in the clear stream. She step aside to showed the newly
arrivals the long table with the feast laid out for a King and his Queen.
"My name is Eve. Welcome
to seat yourself. Adam would join us shortly. He is needed elsewhere now."
Major Markov stationed his
squad to watch the perimeter set, while he joined the Crusaders at the table
buy he did not partake in the feast. Neither did the Crusaders.
"I can assure you the
food are not poisonous." Eve took up a red apple and looked at them.
"This would not put you to sleep."
"She is right."
Another voice came from the perimeter. Its a man dressed in a toga and walks in
casually passed the guards. "I am Eden, the main side of Eve. Crusaders,
our role was to delayed you here while Lucifer escape. That's done and we are
to now to defeat you."
"Beware to where you
are. Welcome to Lucifer's country home." The garden had transformed into a
two level building with a circular tower build on one end. The ground level
covers the dining area where the table was laid, with the living area and
kitchen. The timbered walls are lined with two glass casement windows spread
out to give the areas ample sunlight. The side tower extension was all timber
covered with only the top level having casement windows just before its roof.
From that level, you can see the roofing of the house.
The Russian commandos came
running in through the front and back door to tell their leader of the siege
outside.
"Major, we are
surrounded. Demons and wolves." Sergeant Trina report to the officer. She
then signaled half the squad to take positions upstairs. Major Markov looked at
the two hosts who had now dispersed into the air.
"They are gone."
Geraldine spoke out. "We need to fight our way out. And then find the
doorway."
Miles took to the second
level and then up to the tower highest level. He was joined by the Sergeant who
took sniping position. The second sniper tool position at the second level. The
rest of the Crusaders stayed at the ground level. Kruger took to the back door
while Geraldine handle the front door. Clawler transformed into its other side
and rushed to the tower.
"Major, on the tower side
we have a count of twenty." Sergeant Trina reported in. The others did on
their sides; sixteen on the front, eight on the rear and twelve on the last
side of the house. They are a combination of Harpies, Werewolves, Mapinguari
and shape shifter.
"Commandos, fire at
will." Major Markov gave the order.
Luisa took the first shot;
the 7N1 variant used match-grade extruded powder instead of the coarser ball
propellant and had a 9.8 g boat-tailed FMJ jacketed projectile with an air
pocket, a steel mixed with silver core and a lead knocker in the base for
maximum terminal effect. The projectile blew into the werewolf forehead and out
the back of its skull. By the time the werewolf dropped backward, and the
second shot went for the Harpies but she flew up in time. It flew up to be shot
down by Miles silver coated bolt.
"We make a good
team." Miles smiled at the Sergeant. She ignored him and took her next
targets as the others in her squad all start firing. Miles did the same at
another window.
Geraldine guarding the front
door had her fight; the door tore off ifs hinges and the werewolf was met with
the staff thrust into its jaw. With her strength augmented by the greave, the
staff thrust itself past the jaws into the back of the head. She hurl the carcass
towards the advancing numbers of demon warriors.
"Aargh!" One of the
commandos was dragged out the window by a Harpy and Geraldine went outside. She
stepped outside and saw the Harpy dragging the commando above the second level.
Geraldine rushed forth and grabbed the dropped AK74 to fire at the Harpy. The
automatic shot the Harpy' wings off and she dropped the commando.
"You can have the gun
back now." Geraldine threw the rifle back to the commando. She looked at
the approaching demons; two harpies and one werewolf. She rushed at them using
the staff as a jumping pole to leap above their head. She split up her legs and
kicked the harpies in the chest. She landed on the werewolf with her legs
around his face; causing both of them to fall back.
"I hope you like what
you are sniffing but I dislike you." Geraldine punched her fist into the
werewolf left eye and into its brain. She then rolled off the dead werewolf and
looked at the two harpies standing before her.
"Bloody wolf left a
mess." Geraldine wiped at the pieces of flesh and blood between her legs
while Clawler came from behind to grab the harpies. The Windingo tore their
wings and pushed them towards Geraldine. She swung the staff at their heads and
cracked one while knocking the other one senseless.
Kruger had his fight;
thrusting and severing heads as the werewolves try to come in from the rear. He
pulled out the sword and used the hilt to slammed into the next one. He saw a
third one coming but the Major's shotgun stopped that brute.
"Thanks, Major." It
was then he saw Luisa fell off the tower.
Miles was at the casement
taking down the targets but he did not see the harpy that landed on top of the
tower roof. It made its way down the roof and grabbed the Dragunov barrel. It
pulled both the rifle and gunner out into the open air. Luisa fell out of the
window and landed on her back. Miles saw her falling out and ran over. He
reached over the window sill to see the Harpy still perched there. He reached
up and pulled the harpy' legs to dragged it into the tower. He dropped the
harpy facedown and stepped on the back of the neck.
"They are
retreating." Major Markov spoke on the comms.
