The guy who just punched the power armour away stepped out while cracking his knuckles, looking completely confident of himself.
Guess this guy must have so kind of super strength gene mod or sothing.
"You fuckers better be ready!! I'm going to break open that fucking tin can of yours!!" He shouted at us.
Err… Ok?
I raised up my right arm and blasted my shotgun at him, the pellets blasting open a hole in his chest.
Seems like his super strength didn't give him bullet invulnerability.
To his credit, he didn't get blown away like the others and only skidded back a few tres before stopping, his feet creating a trail on the ground.
He looked down at his chest in shock, as though not comprehending how that hole appeared there before he fell forward to crash face first into the ground.
Idiot.
I turned back to look at the guy who got punched, "You're not dead are you?"
A muffled groan ca from the power armour before he pushed himself up.
"I'm fine… It didn't actually hit ," He groaned.
I'm guessing he ant the punch only dented the armour but didn't hit his flesh directly.
Seeing that he was fine, I imdiately turned back to continue advancing but even more thugs suddenly jumped out, this ti even I could tell they were Gene modded because of how different they looked.
One of them even had wings sprouting from his back with his hands ending in claws and the guy beside him literally has a horse head…
Damn… After seeing so many Cyware mods, it's weird to see Gene mods instead…
More rcs joined us and they looked at the Gene modded group warily.
"Seems like they weren't kidding when they said this group Gene Splices their mbers…" One of them muttered.
Yeah… If I rember correctly, Gene Splice mods are more expensive so most people can only afford Cyware mods instead.
For this group to have this many Gene Splice mods despite being on the second ring… Either they are smuggling them, using illegal Gene Mods…
Or they have so kind of sponsor who is sponsoring their Gene Splicing…
Like, one of the station administrators for example…
I'm half sure that these guys belong to the last category on that list.
"Doesn't change anything! Fire at will!" One of the rcs shouted without warning.
Hey? Who put you in charge? I fire whenever I want, ok?
Everyone started shooting at the crowd of thugs and they also returned fire, so of them literally shooting fire out of their mouths at us.
Damn, that's cool… But Amber is still cooler though. Or rather she's hotter. Heh.
Anyway, I simply blasted them with my minigun and shotgun combo so it wasn't really a big deal. Like heck, my shield could protect from the flas too so I literally just ignored it as they tried to blast with fire while I took aim with the shotgun and blew their heads apart.
Our side wasn't even doing that badly either since we have rcs who were quite heavily Cyware modded and they had arsenals of their own.
It seems like one of the common mods they had was giving themselves an in built grenade launcher in their arms so they were flinging grenades at the thugs from a safe distance and blowing them up.
Right as I was thinking that Gene mods were pretty useless in a fight, there was a loud crash and I looked up to see a giant piece of a wall flying towards us.
My first instinct was to try and move out of the way but then I realised I was wearing power armour… I should be able to tank it, right?
The other rcs had scattered so I was alone in the impact zone which ant that I didn't need to worry about others getting involved, which is why…
I reached up my hands with my gun barrels retracted, right as the wall ca crashing down on top of .
I felt the recoil from the wall falling on top of my hands but it didn't feel that heavy and I managed to lift it up above my head.
Bracing my foot behind , I threw the wall back at the thugs, which was where I found out who threw the wall in the first place.
And… I have to say… That's quite a sight… Just what kind of Gene mods does this guy have?
There was this really old classic ga where you are left for dead, and there's zombies in it if I rember correctly. One of the enemies you face is called a tank… This guy looks exactly like that thing.
Well, ok, not exactly, he doesn't look like a zombie but his upper body was a huge mass of muscle and his head was disproportionately small compared to the rest of his body.
"Fucking rcs! I'll kill all of you!!" He shouted.
Oh, he can talk too. I actually expected him to just growl and roar or sothing.
And he's also running towards us on his two legs instead of shambling with his knuckles like a gorilla.
Ah wait, he's charging right at us isn't he?
I raised up my right arm again and fired a shotgun blast at him, fully expecting it to blow holes in his body.
Unexpectedly, the pellets struck him on the arm which left a particularly nasty bruise but it did not penetrate his skin.
Fuck, this guy's bullet proof? No, not only bullet proof, but those pellets are supposed to even be able to penetrate through actual tank armour at this range you know?
Ah fuck, he's now heading straight for because I fired at him…
He charged straight at as he lifted up a fist to punch at .
"Ries?!" I asked through our comms, believing that she is watching what is happening through her personal terminal.
"My machine won't lose to so idiot that got strong on drugs!! Get him, Boss!!"
That's all I needed to hear!
I retracted the gun barrels and clenched my fist before punching at that roided up guy.
Our fists t in the centre and a shockwave blasted out from the impact.
Thanks to the power armour's shock absorbers, I barely felt the recoil and I managed to hold my ground.
In fact, I think there was sothing moving along my arm because there was a secondary force that punched my fist forward once more, pushing the guy back and breaking the stalemate in my favour.
Haha! As expected of Ries! Take that you dumb brute! My catgirl chanic builds machines stronger than you can ever be with those stupid Gene mods!!
Ah… No offense, Mara.
He stumbled back, clearly not expecting to lose a contest of strength.
The lee type power armour let out a warcry and charged towards the tank guy, probably thinking he could take him on since I managed to repel him.
Well… The tank thug simply smacked the guy away almost like an afterthought with the back of his hand, like how you might smack a fly away.
That tank guy didn't even look in the direction of the guy he smacked away and just charged straight at once again.
I raised up my own hands and punched at him, knocking him away just like I did the first ti.
This ti he recovered quickly and tried to throw a hook at .
I took a step back to avoid it before moving past his guard to deliver an uppercut under his chin.
He got knocked up into the air and I got to watch him fly backwards to crash onto the ground flat on his back. The force of the fall was enough to leave a crack on the ground at where he had hit it.
I thought that would have done him in but he was already trying to push himself back on his feet.
Seriously? That wasn't enough to knock you out? This guy really is built like a tank…
As I was getting ready to continue our brawl, Ries's voice ca from inside my suit's speakers.
"Boss! Boss! Don't forget about your Energy Wave Blades!"
Oh right… I won't lie, I actually forgot about those.
"Ahhhh!! Fucking die!!!" The roided thug roared, charging towards again.
I dodged his wild punches and waited for an opportunity as he overextended himself trying to throw a jab.
I sidestepped him before raising my left hand and activating the blade, the sword materialising right as I slashed my hand down on his outstretched arm.
I felt almost no resistance as the blade cut through his arm like hot knife through butter, the limb slicing clean off even as he tried to retract his arm.
"Arrgghhh!! My arm!! You fucker! You mother fucker!! I'm going to tear that stupid helt off and--"
I slashed my energy sword across his neck, slicing through muscle and bone and sending his head flying into the air.
His body remained standing for just a mont before it fell backwards with a loud crash, his head bouncing beside it.
Hmm… Neat. You really outdid yourself with this suit, Ries.
Now… Where were we in killing these thugs again?
