To Serve And Protect-Part 3
-----------------------------------------------------------
"This is Amy Feng of the Angel Falls Channel 3 Action News Team reporting live from the Stranger Industries Complex located in Hanover. We are in hour two of an intense standoff between the Angel Falls Police Department and a militia of well armed women known as C.O.D.E.s who have taken it upon themselves to siege the complex, preventing any escape for the Stranger employees trapped inside as well as making things difficult for police to enter or even get close to the perimeter of the building.

At this moment, I have here Chief of Police Sonny Wilson as well as the C.E.O. and owner of Stranger Industries, the man known as the Lone Stranger. I'll start with you Chief Wilson...I know that the SWAT team as well as the Special Crimes Unit are on hand and have been doing their best to gain entrance to the Stranger Compound. I've seen several notable names in the way of 1st Lt. Raina Hunter and her band of cyborg police officers. In fact, I saw with my own eyes as Officer Denise Hightower, better known as the cyborg cop "Deuce" as she's more popularly known...take to the air with her jet boosters and made her way on the rooftop. Has Officer Hightower's efforts lead to her breaching the tight security of the C.O.D.E.s and gaining access to the Stranger Industries compound?"

"Well Amy, I don't wanna compromise our plan of attack over the airwaves when it comes to stopping the C.O.D.E.s and getting the trapped Stranger faculty and staff out of there just in case whoever is pulling the strings of this attack is watching...I'll just say that Deuce is putting forth her best efforts along with Lt. Hunter, Genesis, and the rest of the SCU and the SWAT team. Our last status report was fairly positive and Lt. Hunter and her crew are working as fast as they can to eliminate the hostile threat posed by the C.O.D.E.s and rescue the trapped workers."

"Do you have any idea as to why these C.O.D.E.s are besieging this building?"

"No...we haven't a clue. We've done our best to establish a dialogue between them and our negotiators, but they've made it clear that they don't want to talk. The Lone Stranger and I have been discussing just what they could be going after, and after hearing some of the things that are being stored at this facility I'm very concerned for said things falling into evil hands. It seems to me like that they are here for something in particular...just what, I couldn't tell you."

"And Mr. Stranger, do you have any idea as to what these mysterious terrorists are doing here at your building."

"Well Amy, I arrived here on the scene not too long ago and Chief Sonny filled me in...I'm just as clueless as everyone else. And just like the Chief here I'm also very concerned...as I told him although this isn't the main Stranger Industries Campus, we still have some very valuable resources and materials at this location that we can't afford to fall into the wrong hands.

Even more so than the resources at this location, I am highly concerned for the lives and safety of all of my employees that are trapped inside. Chief Sonny told me that this isn't a typical hostage situation...I would easily offer to pay a ransom, but it doesn't look like they're looking for any sort of monetary bounty and that has me beside myself right now wondering if my workers are unharmed. Unfortunately, I don't have Warbuster or any of our more powerful weaponry and armament readily on hand at this location...I'm 100 percent positive that none of this would've happened if he were here to protect the building; unfortunately he can't be everywhere at once. Perhaps it is wise to keep him where he's at just in case of a possible attack at the main Stranger Campus.

But I have faith that the AFPD will get the job done and rescue the workers...with all of the superheroes and heroines around with extraordinary powers and abilities, it's easy to forget that the police is also available and well equipped to handle problems of a dangerous nature just as well."

"Are you concerned that these C.O.D.E.s might turn their hostility toward any of your other facilities located here in Angel Falls?"

"With something of this magnitude, I can't help but entertain the possibility of another attack on one of my other Stranger Industry facilities...after all, this is Angel Falls and anything goes here in this city. That being said, I see that I'm going to have to tighten up security to deter anything like this from happening again at all of my facilities....If I need to commission Polygirl to make more Warbuster suits or to employ metahumans for security, then so be it. It's worth the safety of the employees of Stranger Industries and the overall safety of Angel Falls."

"Thank you very much Mr. Stranger, Chief Wilson. We will keep you posted on the developing situation here...for Channel 3 Action News, this is Amy Feng reporting."

--------------------------------------------------------

Deuce ran down the long corridors of the 5th floor of the Stranger complex wielding dual guns as she continuously fired at the C.O.D.E. soldiers in front of her. She rarely missed any of her targets as she connected with direct critical shots to her enemies as their limp bodies caused lots of splashing as they dropped in the ankle high water on the floor due to the fire sprinklers. Deuce looked as if she were enjoying herself as she maneuvered about, showing off with flashy movements and trick shots as she continued to eliminate the C.O.D.E.s in her path....she sprung off of walls, slid, rolled, spun, and somersaulted about in a beautiful ballistic ballet.

After a bit, she quickly scanned the floor for any more C.O.D.E.s...she felt the floor tremble underneath her feet and heard loud splashes growing louder and approaching her current location. In an instant, she saw a large figure in the distance that slid out from around a corner...the figure unleashed a salvo of bullets, laser beams, and small missiles in Deuce's direction catching her off guard. The bullets and lasers bounced off of Deuce's shields, however the missiles weakened them considerably after two direct hits.

Deuce stumbled back from the impact of the two small explosions and quickly regained her bearings...she barely had time to dive to the side into a room as a large stream of plasma energy surged at her, missing her only by inches, and demolishing the metal wall at the end of the hallway behind her. Deuce could feel the floor vibrate as she used her X-Ray vision to look through the walls to see the large robotic figure that barely resembled a female approaching.

Deuce wasn't the only one in this confrontation with X-Ray vision...she watched the large mechanical woman pause as if she were looking back through the wall. The woman's chest began to glow brightly as another beam of pure energy surged right through the walls at Deuce, catching her directly in her chest and sending her flying into the air and across the room. She crashed through some machinery as she watched the large woman known as Overkill burst her way through the hole in the wall that she just created...she then looked down at her chest and noticed a few burn marks on her metallic body and even a spot or two where her exoskeleton was damaged and revealed the sparking wires and such underneath.

Deuce was impressed and amazed as she made her way back to her feet as she stared at Overkill, whose body was almost completely mechanical just like her own. She taunted the larger cyborg woman.

"Finally, some competition! I was beginning to think that I could do this mission by my damn self! I actually felt that last one!"

Overkill returned with her deep European accent.

"I was thinking same thing...I bored before you come here! And you will feel more of the same...I will destroy you!"

"Word?!!? It's gonna take more than that your fancy booby energy blast to drop me! What's your name, big mama?"

"I am Overkill...and you are Cyra-2."

"It's nice to see that my reputation proceeds me...and I prefer to be called Deuce, hon. Overkill huh? With all of that hardware, I see why you have that name...damn, you even have a buzzsaw for a hand!!! I don't think I've seen anyone else with as much cybernetics as me...you're barely human! Just what are you supposed to be anyways? You look like the result if the lady Terminator had a menage a trois with both ED-209 and Cain from the Robocop movies and then had a kid!"

"You're one to talk...you look like black lady ghetto Robocop with big booty, tits, and a shiny chrome head with a fake pony tail made of wires and cable! At least I have real hair, baldy!"

"*chuckles* Ohhhh...you got jokes?!? Okay...okay, you got me there. But I'm gonna get 'cha where it matters! You're under arrest...surrender now, and I might leave you in one piece!"

"Never...I refuse to surrender to inferior cyborg! You will bow to me as I deactivate you for good!"

"I was hoping you'd say that! I was only 'arresting' you to be nice and go along with my programming...since you refused, I don't have to stick with my parameters anymore! And please, make this interesting for me...I wanna enjoy whoopin' yo' ass! I've got your 'inferior' right here big mama!"

"You are making big mistake...when I finish with you, maybe they can salvage your parts to put in police car!"

"You're just talkin'...there ain't nothin' here but space and opportunity! I'm through yappin'...let's get it!!!"


Deuce returned with her own shower of bullets as she ran in a semi circle...Overkill also returned fire as they moved around in opposite directions engaging in combat.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Genesis slowly crept on the main floor of the Stranger compound as she made her way towards the main concourse...although she had initiated her self-repair mode and manually repaired her damaged body from her previous encounter with the C.O.D.E.s from Beta Unit, her body still had a considerable amount of visible damage. In this case being a cyborg had its advantages, as her pain editors and her her programming overrode any showing of weakness from her wounds nor allowed for her to slow down and made her continue with her mission. Her glowing sky blue optical sensors went into infrared heat vision mode and zoomed ahead to see the large bright red and orange signatures of all of the hostages as well as a considerable amount of C.O.D.E. soldiers present. Her optical sensors, processors, and databanks quickly registered and counted about 12 C.O.D.E.s located in the main entrance lobby and counted about another 8 on the outside standing guard.

She realized that there was no way to really be stealth about this at all, and that her best plan of attack would be to isolate the C.O.D.E.s from one another to give her a better chance at taking them out one by one up close rather from afar where they had the numbers advantage. She drew her firearm as her internal targeting systems locked on the heads of three C.O.D.E.s from Alpha unit that stood relatively close to each other...her segmented metal index finger squeezed the trigger three times as she slightly switched her aim with each shot. She registered three clean headshots before the other C.O.D.E.s even realized what was going on. Genesis' cybernetic audio receptors picked up the alarmed gasps and screams of the group of hostages as they too were taken off guard by the quick deaths of three of their oppressors.

Alpha-4 pointed towards the direction from which Genesis was located and another four C.O.D.E. units went towards that direction. Genesis once again drew her Katana and decided that she would meet them midway....they fired at her from a distance to which she blocked each of their shots with her mighty blade as she ran straight towards them, then took to the air with a spectacular flip as she swung her sword several times around. Limbs and body parts flew about as Genesis made a huge splash with her perfect landing...two of the C.O.D.E.s disintegrated after being slashed to pieces; the other two writhed about as they screamed in agony and clenched where their dismembered body parts used to be. She continued to run toward the main concourse to press the attack on the remaining C.O.D.E.s from Alpha unit.

What Genesis didn't notice was the muscular cyborg monster known as Wraith slowly walking down the corridor from which she just came as she scraped the blade which protruded from her forearm against the metal walls, creating an eerie screeching sound as well as causing sparks to fly...her blade ripped through the metal walls as a pair of scissors would easily cut through a piece of construction paper. She stopped at the two still alive C.O.D.E.s and easily picked both of them up in each of her hands...she siphoned the remaining energy out of them as their screams faded out; they too vaporized within Wraith's grasp as her muscular cyborg body once again visibly grew in mass; her hulking mass was quite impressive...she was nearly double the size that she was originally when she first arrived along with Nightmare and Overkill.

Her solar plexus began to glow with energy and energy trails rippled along her body as she held her breasts; she then caressed her hands across her body and then ran her hands through her short brown hair as she hissed and moaned in a sensual manner...her stiff nipples could clearly be seen through the dark blue cyber-synthetic material that had been made to replace her skin. Wraith appeared to be somewhat aroused about the energy which she just siphoned along with her pursuit of the weakened cyborg policewoman. She then picked up her pace and headed in the same direction that Genesis had just went.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Back on the third floor, Raina and Nightmare had been involved in a vicious battle...both women's battle attire had shown wear and tear from their intense altercation. Raina's cyber-armor had been completely broken away in some areas, going past the wires and circuitry of the armor and revealing her bio-synthetic flesh underneath. Nightmare was clearly making her presence felt in her debut against her step-daughter as Raina hasn't faced a challenge like her since going toe-to-toe with Wraith last year. Although Nightmare had been getting her shots in, Raina was still able to hold her own and score her own powerful offensive attacks against the one person that struck fear in her heart.

The two cybernetic fighters clashed, wrestled, tussled, and struggled against one another as both of them were evenly matched...as soon as it looked like Raina had the upper hand, Nightmare would turn the momentum to her side and vice versa. They crashed through the solid titanium enforced walls as if they were made of plexi-glass as they jockeyed for position in an absolutely brutal display of combat. These two were obviously fighting with deep emotion and both women swung for the fences with each blow thrown, going for the knockout shot.

Raina had gotten in a vicious flurry on Nightmare, sending her reeling. Nightmare landed very close to her rail gun, which she had dropped at the beginning of their fight...she inched her way towards her powerful weapon as Raina followed to press the attack. Nightmare waited until the last minute possible; she lunged for her gun, rolled into position, and caught Raina directly in her torso with two quick blasts...Raina's armor had shattered even more, revealing her bare body underneath in some areas. The force of the blasts sent her sliding across the flooding floor until the back of her head and shoulders slammed hard into a wall, stopping her momentum. Raina's systems had taken a major shock, discombobulating her equilibrium momentarily and leaving her defenseless as she tried to shake off the cobwebs.

Nightmare targeted her massive weapon directly at Raina's head...although Raina's body was extremely durable, a direct headshot from the rail gun would have definitely signaled the end of this fight, as well as possibly the end of Raina's life. Before Nightmare could pull the trigger, however, both Deuce and Overkill came crashing through the ceiling with great force...altering Nightmare's shot and giving Raina enough time to recover and space to roll out of the way.

Deuce and Overkill also look like they had been involved in a vicious brawl...even moreso than Raina and Nightmare. Overkill's dark shades had been shattered and her creepy glowing red eyes were visible. Wires and tubes poked through her metal exterior as they crackled, sparked, and leaked vital fluids. Her buzzsaw hand was missing along with most of her right arm as well as her neck had some of it's vital tubes and wires wrenched loose. Parts of the skin on her face had been peeled away to reveal the circuitry and metal underneath, showing that she was indeed more machine than human.

Deuce was no better...her cyber-optic lens over her left ocular cavity had been cracked, along with notable burn marks and gaping slash wounds along her chromium body; there was an extremely large gaping hole on the right side of her abdomen which revealed some of her cyber-entrails and organs. Her left hand and forearm was missing...it had been severed by Overkill's buzzsaw hand. Synthetic blood had trailed from the corner of her mouth and nose as she gritted her teeth and snarled.

"C'mon...that all you got Big Mama?!!?"

"I will squash you like big metal cockroach under my feet!"


Both Deuce and Overkill rushed each other again...Deuce fired her gun repeatedly at Overkill's large mech-like body; it didn't seem like the rounds were doing much damage, however Overkill had done the same with some of the smaller weapons in her arsenal which also seem to bounce off of Deuce's body. Their collision sounded like a car accident as their metal bodies slammed into one another. The two robotic women were interrupted in their dance of destruction by another round from Nightmare's railgun targeted directly at Deuce...Deuce's systems were able to calculate the concentrated blast of energy aimed at her head in time enough to combat roll out of the way; she landed not to far from Raina who was holding her midsection and wincing from the last blast.

"Hey Deuce...lookin' good."

"Likewise. Hey Rainy...I made a new friend over there! Her name's Overkill and she's almost completely mechanical just like me!"

"I know her quite well...that's Suprema Maddrox from my Triple F fighting days...haven't seen her in a few years! She definitely looks much different than she used to...she's put on some serious weight, and I'm definitely not talking about fat!!!"

"And I see you made yourself a new friend too! Well isn't she cute with that big ass toy that she just blasted at me with...we should have an impromptu play date right now!"

"She's no friend of mine...that's family...sorta."

"Um...what?"

"I've talked to you about my stepmom before, right?"

"Yeah...the one in the coma?"

"Yep...that's the one. Well Deuce, meet Laura Thomas-Hunter...my wicked stepmother that's supposed to be in a coma."

"But...how did...ohhhhh....oooookay!!!! I get it...she's a cyborg now!!! Awkward!!!! Didn't mean to break up your reunion!"

"Nah...you're right on time! I'm with you...let's have that play date!"

"Hey Rainy..."

"Yeah?"

"You know Jetta didn't put those parameters on me that you told her to before we started our mission, right?"

"Yeah...I kinda figured; I know that you two are in cahoots with one another. Plus, I've got bionic hearing just like you...you know I can hear an ant walking on sand, so I overheard you and her talking about it before you took off!!! And now, I'm glad that she didn't...no doughnuts for either of you for a week!"

"Well, it ain't like I can eat solid food anyways! Where's it gonna go?"


Nightmare got upset at the playful banter between the two cybercops.

"Um, excuse me?!!? I love how the both of you are making light of the situation...maybe facing your deaths won't be so bad with smiles on your faces!"

Raina stood tall and pointed her evil stepmother down as she tried to reason with her.

"Okay Laura...I know there's all sorts of bad blood between you and me, but this ends right now. You and that big piece of scrap metal standing next to you are under arrest as well as all of the rest of your goons."

"Fuck you, you fat heifer bitch!!! I'll kill you where you stand before I let you take me to jail!"


Raina's face balled up into a vicious scowl and she shook in anger as Laura's insult hurt just as bad as her most powerful attack thus far. Her bottom lip quivered and tears welled up in the corners of Raina's bionic eyes as she instantly replayed memories of her youth where Laura would constantly say hurtful remarks, chipping away at her self-esteem and confidence. With a loud yell, Raina threw herself at Nightmare in a blind rage...knocking the large rail gun across the floor yet again. Both Deuce and Overkill watched each of their sisters in arms tussle with one another until they both caught eyes with each other, and they too followed suit and continued to battle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Genesis continued to dispatch the C.O.D.E.s on the first floor...they tried to surround her and overwhelm her with their numbers, but she was too powerful for them. They shot at her with their weapon and energy projection abilities, yet Simone managed to dodge most of their attacks...the rest that actually hit her didn't faze her or slow her down one bit despite the fact that she was still taking damage to her body.

The outside C.O.D.E.s had began to fall back to assist the others on the inside, which gave the AFPD SWAT and SCU ground forces the opening that they needed to blitz the entrance, taking out the few remaining C.O.D.E.s that guarded the perimeter of the building. They rushed the building, led by Sgt. O' Malley as they mowed a path leading to a large group of the captive employees of the Stranger complex...she began to lead the group of hostages out; they all scrambled in a panicked frenzy as they rushed to exit the building.

Just then she heard the scream of a man...she saw Wraith near the back of the herd with a tight grip on a technician from behind as she held her blade to his neck. The man struggled in Wraith's arms, as she was slowly choking the breath out of his lungs...his flailing around didn't help his cause either as he exerted his energy trying to fight the tight grip of Wraith. Sgt. O' Malley aimed her rifle directly at Wraith...the laser sighted target danced in between Wraith's pupil-less eyes as she yelled out.

"Let' em go!"

Wraith didn't respond verbally, but she took her blade and barely ran it across the man's face, cutting him a little. She then ran her tongue along her blade and licked his blood clean off of the ultra sharp weapon. O' Malley warned Wraith again.

"C'mon you sick bitch...let the man go and surrender! I can make the shot...I'll drop you if I have to!"

Wraith's response to O' Malley's was an extremely rare verbal one...her voice was low, raspy, and sounded more like a slow animalistic hiss than that of a human.

"I.......hhhhhhhhate.......copsssssss...."

O' Malley took a deep breath and fired a round...the high caliber bullet struck Wraith's forehead, causing her head to reel back. O' Malley's jaw dropped as Wraith's grip on the technician didn't loosen at all, plus the bullet wound had instantly healed itself up right before her eyes. Wraith then picked the man up over her head and flung him directly at O'Malley at a great rate of speed...O'Malley couldn't get out of the way as the portly man slammed into her with great force, knocking her off of her feet. The implant located on Wraith's solar plexus had began to glow brightly and to swirl with energy...she was charging up for a devastating blast and was aiming directly for O'Malley and the male technician.

A malicious surge of energy exited Wraith's body targeted for the SWAT officer and a victim of circumstance...fortunately for them Genesis had jumped in and took the full brunt of Wraith's blast that would have surely killed both of them. The immense blast tore Genesis' left arm and shoulder from the rest of her body...the opening revealed her extensive cybernetics underneath her outer muscular casing as well her synthetic blood, oil, and other important fluids sputtered all over the place as a continuous stream of sparks flew from the gaping wound where her arm used to be. Amazingly, Genesis remained on her feet and engaged Wraith...she looked like a mangled mixture of machinery and humanity as her body buzzed and whirred with the slightest movement that she would make. Although her left hand contained her gun, she still had her Katana in her right hand and had no intentions on avoiding a fight with Wraith.

Wraith and Genesis' blades clashed as both muscular cyborg women hacked, slashed, stabbed, punched, and kicked at each other. Neither of them were able to get a palpable hit on the other, as they both were extremely skilled with their melee weapons and their hand to hand combat programming were top notch. Perhaps Genesis would have had more of an advantage with her other arm still attached, however her extremely weakened state due to the major damage that she had taken up to this point was starting to take it's toll. Her internal systems blinked and warned her via her H.U.D. that she was reaching critical levels of damage, yet her fighter's instinct instructed to continue to engage Wraith.

Wraith grabbed the part of Genesis' arm that was missing and siphoned energy from her...Genesis' body froze up momentarily as what little energy that coursed through her circuitry and wires was quickly racing out of her body into her opponent's body. The beeping in Simone's head reminding her that her levels were dangerously low had grown louder and more frequent as her body had began to go limp.

Wraith had nearly sucked Genesis dry until she received another four shots to her head from Sgt. O' Malley's sub-machine gun followed by a stiff shot from the butt of her gun. Although it did no damage to Wraith, it caused for her to release her grip of Genesis and direct her focus to O' Malley. O'Malley emptied her ammo as she laid into Wraith with her gun...the bullets all sank in her body, yet didn't slow her down at all. Wraith then bludgeoned O' Malley with a stiff right cross...shattering her jaw, dropping her to the floor, and knocking her helmet off. She then took O' Malley, who was on all fours at this point, and tossed her into a wall. O' Malley struggled back to her feet, where she was met with a quick slice across her chest...her body armor had taken the full force of the slash, yet it was still forceful enough to penetrate O'Malley flesh.

Wraith had then quickly throttled O'Malley by the throat and held her up against the wall...O'Malley's bloodied face had then turned to a look of horror as Wraith had lodged her blade deep into O'Malley's body, exiting through her back and pinning her to the wall. Blood rushed to O'Malley's mouth as she began to cough up copious amounts and choke on said blood as her eyes began to roll to the back of her head.

Wraith smiled as she watched the red headed SWAT officer cling onto life...unexpectedly, a quick slice from behind caught her completely off guard. With blurred vision O'Malley saw a stream of energy left in the wake of Genesis' katana, which went straight through Wraith's head horizontally at her lower mandible. Wraith's eyes had widened, as the top half of her head had fallen from the rest of her body and splashed as it hit the flooded floor. O' Malley was able to find the strength to lift her legs and kick Wraith's body away to dislodge the blade from her gut...she slid down the was and felt to the ground hard on her buttocks as she continued to cough up blood. Wraith's body had grabbed the spot where her half decapitated head was, took several steps, and then fell forward. O' Malley looked up to see a severely damaged Genesis, who also struggled to remain standing...she sheathed her sword, then picked up the critically wounded SWAT officer with her one arm and headed for the exit along with the other AFPD officers and hostages. Both of them were too weak to notice Wraith's body still moving, grabbing for her head, and then standing back to her feet as they left. Wraith held the top half of her own head in her in one hand as she pressed a few buttons on the apparatus located on her left wrist...she then dematerialized and vanished completely from the scene of the crime.
------------------------------------------------------------

Raina, Deuce, Nightmare, and Overkill had continued fighting amongst one another, registering some vicious damage amongst themselves. As they were fighting, the large door that the datarunners had been trying to hack open had finally been breached....the two datarunners had quickly unjacked from their computer terminals and had entered the top secret laboratory and storage deep within the confines of the Stranger Industries sub complex. Although both women had been evenly matched in their battle, Nightmare was able to gain the upper hand...she was able to kick Raina into several large pipes protruding from the damaged walls, impaling her in the process and weakening her systems to where she couldn't free herself. Nightmare then broke off two more pieces of the long metal pipes from the wall and drove them through both of Raina's arms at the elbow, crucifying her stepdaughter that she hated against the cold hard metal wall. Raina winced in pain as her stepmother tortured her...her systems warned her of her critical damage levels and threatened to shut down. Raina was barely able to keep her bionic optical implants open as Nightmare picked up her railgun and taunted her some more.

"Finally...I've been dreaming about this moment for years. I'm not gonna rush this...I'm gonna savor every little bit...I want you to suffer just like you made me suffer in that coma for years!!! I want to put you through hell here on earth first before I actually send you there for good!!!"

Nightmare cocked her gun, charged it up for several seconds, then shot Raina's left arm...severing it from her body at the elbow. Raina screamed as her pain editors weren't completely working due to the damage that she had taken thus far. Tears streamed down her face as Nightmare charged up her gun again and shot through Raina's left leg at point blank range...shattering the remaining armor that covered it and severing the leg at the thigh. Raina screamed even louder as Nightmare continued to taunt and torture her.

"You don't have your precious baseball bat to help you now, do you? And even with all of those fancy cybernetics and that suit of armor of yours, you still aren't able to beat me in a straight up fight! You're weak...you've always been weak Raina...just like your stupid limp-dick father was!"

Nightmare then did the same thing to Raina's right leg and arm....wrenching both of them loose from the rest of her body. Nightmare then took her gun and shot Raina three times in her abdomen at point blank range, smiling as she pulled the trigger repeatedly. Raina's moans grew softer, as her energy supply was dangerously low. She coughed up synthetic blood while her broken body convulsed uncontrollably as she struggled to stay conscious. After a few minutes, one of the datarunners exited with a medium sized metal pod and interrupted Nightmare.

"Mistress Nightmare...our main objective is complete; we have the package! Ready for extraction....all C.O.D.E. Units standing by!"

"To all of the remaining C.O.D.E. units...prepare for bodyslide back to HQ. Go on without me...I have some unfinished business here to take care of with my dear stepdaughter here."

"But Mistress...our orders were to..."

"I know what our fuckin' orders are!!! You take the package back to base and I'll catch up...I was placed in charge here, and that's an order from me!"

"Affirmative. All C.O.D.E. units, preparing for immediate evac in 3...2...1..."


With that, all of the remaining C.O.D.E. units in the building had teleported away in similar manner that they arrived. Nightmare and Overkill were the only two remaining hostiles left in the entire building asides from Beta-One, who had long ago been put out of commission and disconnected from the C.O.D.E. network...Overkill and Deuce weren't immediately near Nightmare and Raina. Overkill realized that the main objective was completed, and that she was at a stalemate with her formidable foe in Deuce. Both cyborg women came to a pause in their combat and addressed one another, barely able to put together a whole sentence without their cybernetic voice synthesizers malfunctioning on them.

"You...you are -zzzzt- worthy foe! However, I must make leave now...objective is complete."

"What's the matter? -zzzt- -zzzt- Runnin' away like a chicken? I'm not -zzzt- done with you yet!"

"We will -zzzzt- meet -zzzt- -zzzt- again! And next time...I crush you!"

"Whatever bitch...bring it! -zzzt-"


Overkill then dematerialized into thin air as well. Deuce dropped to her knees from the extensive damage that she had taken at the hands of Overkill...she then quickly scanned the area to get a location on Raina and Nightmare. She finally spotted them...a sudden surge of energy shot through her body when she saw the gruesome shape that her friend and commander was in from way across the 3rd floor.

Nightmare got really close to Raina as she continued to taunt her, building up for her grand finale. She gently stroked Raina's face and ran her fingers through her hair, only to suddenly pull her hair and head back maliciously. Tears streamed from Raina's eyes...Raina herself was too weak to even hold her own head up as Nightmare talked again.

"God, I hate you...you have no idea how much I've always hated you. I only put up with you because of your father, and once I got bored with him, I could've cared less what happened to you...in fact, it was his love for you that made me hate him. I was jealous, and wanted him all to myself...not even wanting to share his affection with his own daughter. Call me shallow, but that's how I roll! You destroyed my life...everything I had, everything I was, everything that I was supposed to be! And now I will end your future and erase your existence from the face of the Earth!"

As Nightmare charged up her gun one last time, a different voice rang though Nightmare's communication device...the female voice had a slight accent and a commanding presence, stopping Nightmare dead in her tracks.

"Nightmare...I command you at once to return to base!"

"No....I'm so close! I have this bitch stepdaughter of mine defeated and I'm about to administer the killing blow!!!"

"That was not a part of your objectives, now was it?"

"Objectives be damned...you got what you wanted, let me have my moment!"


Before she could get another word out or make another advance on Raina, Nightmare was forcibly teleported back to base. Only a nano-second after Nightmare had vanished, a mega bullet had zipped right through the energy traces of where Nightmare's head was. Deuce's pistol smoked as she stood from afar and tried to give Nightmare's brain an impromptu lobotomy. Once Deuce saw that the blond cyborg was gone for good she limped over to Raina, removed her from the pipes that ran her through, and held her...she was able to scan Raina's vitals and saw that her damage levels were extremely high and that her systems had temporarily shut her down and was also running on auxiliary energy to keep her organic components alive. Deuce then radioed to Techna.

"Oh my God...hey Jet...we've got -zzzt- an officer down up here!!! We're gonna need a gurney to take Raina outta here...she's pretty fucked up. She's missing all -zzzt- kinds of her bits and pieces, plus she's running on her auxiliary energy supply! -zzzt- -zzzt-"

"From the sounds of it, I better make that two gurneys...you don't sound too hot either!"

"No way...I'm -zzzzt- -zzzzt- -zzzzt- fi...-zzzzt- fine! Um...yeah, you better make that two!"

"Simone's in very bad shape too...I've already had her rushed back to my lab at HQ!"

"What?!!? You mean -zzzt- I'm less damaged than both Raina and Monie?"

"I guess...but I see your vitals and you aren't too far away from them! Help is on the way...I'll get all of you patched up and back to optimal levels in no time! Don't let Raina die on us!!!"

"-zzzt- Roger that. C'mon Rainy...hang in there girlie!"

--------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the main building of the Ultima corporation Scarlette Tamzarian was busy ordering her technicians for immediate emergency repairs to Wraith and Overkill. Nightmare had then appeared in the central laboratory not too far from where Scarlette levitated. Very angry at the fact that she was pulled from her confrontation against Raina, she slammed her rail gun to the floor and rushed Scarlette.

"Why did you pull me out?!!? I was so close to destroying Raina!!!!"

Nightmare's body had began to arch back in a manner that it wasn't meant to bend as she grasped at her throat; Scarlette used her powers of magnetic manipulation to discipline the insubordinate cyborg....all of the technicians paused as Scarlette raised her voice to verbally lambaste Nightmare.

"HOW DARE YOU DEFY MY ORDERS AND THEN RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME?!!!!? I resurrected you and gave you this new body and this is how you show thanks? I can easily render you back in the vegetative state that you were in when I saved you...or just let you die! Is that what you want?"

"Nuh...no Madame....I'm sorry..."

"You are right that you're sorry! Don't you ever defy my orders again or question my authority, or I will place your head on the body of a robotic dog and make you my pet! Understand?!!?"

"Yes...."


Scarlette dropped the woman from her magnetic grip.

"Another reason why I pulled you out when I did is because you failed to see the one called Deuce as she had a clear head shot on you...it could have been you that was destroyed! I'm already going to have my hands full with fixing Wraith and Overkill...I don't need your extensive repairs to hinder my plans any longer!

However, you did complete your mission...so I can't be completely mad at you. Well done...I am also pleased at the performance of the C.O.D.E.s with the exception of the loss of Beta-One; I can't help but wonder why she didn't self-destruct. No matter...her brain has been virtually wiped clean, so if they try to scan her brain, then they will be pretty upset when their efforts come up fruitless. And you, Overkill, and Wraith needn't worry...you will have plenty of chances for rematches against your new arch rivals. When I activated you, did I not promise you that you will extract your revenge against your step daughter?"

"You did."

"Exactly...so don't worry...you will have your moment to savor watching the life drain out of her body at your hands. Just as I am sure that Wraith is just seething to get her hands on Genesis for decapitating her and Overkill wanting to eliminate Deuce. But I've got bigger plans for the immediate future...as for yourself, you need immediate repairs just like your sisters. I am pleased...you have proven yourself to be a worthy general in my army...just don't ever cross me again."

"Yes, mother. Once again, I apologize...I let my emotions get the best of me."

"You are forgiven. Now, to the operating rack with you...techs, take her to bay 3!"


Scarlette's techs floated over a hovering mobile table, placed the badly damaged cyborg on it, and took her to repair station bay 3. Scarlette then turned to the large mechanical container that was retrieved from the Stranger complex...she opened it to reveal a large orb that resembled a diamond. She held it in her hands as she floated off to a distant part of her large laboratory...she came to a series of stasis tubes that contained the various reconstructed body parts belonging to Sapphira Reese. She floated directly to the stasis tube that contained Sapphira's detached head and spoke directly to it....Sapphira's eyes snapped open as her sliver eyes glowed and looked directly at Scarlette.

"Awaken, Adora-2...mommy has something to show you! Here is the final piece, my dear...soon and very soon I will put you back together and assemble you as my greatest creation yet! This orb will empower you beyond your wildest imaginations to ungodly levels!!! You are the key to initiating my 'Primary Objective!' I absolutely cannot wait until you and the rest of your sisters hand the world to me on a silver platter! Now close your eyes; continue to sleep in peace, my dear Adora-2...for we've got much to do in the coming days."

Sapphira's eyes closed again on Scarlette's command as she floated back to the center of the large lab. After several seconds, Sapphira's eyes snapped open again...intently following The Matriarch of the Ultima Corporation as she tended to other business. She scowled at Scarlette before slowly closing her eyes again.

""This is Amy Feng of the Angel Falls Channel 3 Action News Team reporting live from the Stranger Industries Complex located in Hanover. After approximately two hours and 45 minutes the situation where the mysterious all female C.O.D.E. soldiers took the entire building by siege is now over thanks to the Angel Falls Police Department Special Crimes Unit and SWAT team.

After the whole ordeal, there are 9 police deaths, 4 civilian casualties, and multiple injuries to both police forces and Stranger employees...most notable amongst those injuries from the AFPD are Sargent Maureen O'Malley of the SWAT team; along with Cybercops Simone Rattica aka Genesis, Denise Hightower aka Deuce, and 1st Lt. Raina Hunter. Sgt. O'Malley has been taken to Angel Falls Regional ICU while all three Cybercops have been taken back to AFPD HQ, where they are to receive immediate repairs. We have no word on the condition of any of those police officers yet, however Lt. Hunter seemed to be in the worst condition.

The reason being the siege is still unknown...there are hardly any traces of the C.O.D.E.s left behind. One C.O.D.E...we'll call her Beta-One for now...was apprehended and will be taken into custody by the AFPD for interrogation. It has been made known that a very valuable material has been stolen, and that is leading the police as to just why these C.O.D.E.s came here in the first place.

One eyewitness said that they recognized what was described as the convicted death row meta-criminal Deidra Cross, who was gunned down by police and transformed into a failed law enforcement cyborg known as Wraith. If you remember, Wraith's programming had run amok and caused her to go on a dangerous rampage early last year. All we know is that Wraith was controlled by Scarlette Tamzarian when she was last seen, so police are now investigating the case with Scarlette Tamzarian as a possible conspirator to this ordeal.

Tune in to the 10 PM edition of the Channel 3 Action New for further developments to this story. For Channel 3, I'm Amy Feng, reporting."

Whew!!! :faint: It took what felt like FOREVER to get this one done...I started on this story about a month ago and for some reason I've been having a rough time staying focused and getting this one finished! And now, I've got an epilogue coming afterwards, as I still feel that there are a few loose ties to wrap up...are the gals of the SCU gonna be okay? If so, how will Raina deal with her aptly named nightmarish stepmother being a powerful cyborg just like herself? The girls Cybercops division pretty much took a loss against the trio of Nightmare, Overkill, and Wraith...what will they do for if and when they next meet? What about Sgt. O'Malley? Will she live? Will she die? And we've seen another Sapphira sighting...what's up with that?!!? I can't just end this one without tying all of these things up into nice little bundles! Hopefully, I can crank out the epilogue very soon so that I can move on to the next great adventure! :excited:

As for this latest part, I really love the action that went on in this one...these girls were brawlin'!!!! :bonk: If nothing else, it shows just how tough my cyborg babes are...the good ones and the evil ones! Special shout out and thanks to :iconalmeidap: with the dope render...Deuce looks especially amazing in this one! :D
