FVN Chapter 36 Obligatory Chase Scene
Chapter 36 Obligatory Chase Scene
Now I was just following the vehicle. He would probably try to lose me before he pulled into the place he was delivering the woman, but I wouldn't let him.
After a few minutes of taking hard turns to try to lose me, the car stopped turning and just went straight for a while. I couldn't figure out why, until an entire gang of bikers pulled up behind me. They were holding chains and bats. One even had a katana.
[Secondary Objective: Defeat The Reapers]
I had to assume "The Reapers" was the name of the biker gang that was on my tail. The driver must have called on them for help to get rid of me. I couldn't let him get away, so I drove up next to his car again. He tried to swerve into me but I was ready this time and turned with his car. As I turned, I swiped at the back right tire, slashing it.
I dropped back behind the car as I did that so he couldn't run me off the road. I figured he'd have to stop with a blown tire. But I was wrong. He just kept going, even with sparks flying up from the wheel rim scraping against the road.
Two of the bikers pulled up alongside of me. One with a chain and the other with a bat. I pulled out Muramasa's Blood Fiend in my right hand and steered with my left. The bat cyclist on my left swung at my head.
I ducked and the bat sailed over, smashing my windshield and spraying glass everywhere. I closed my eyes for a split second so I didn't get glass in them. I went to blindly swing at the guy with the bat, but I felt a chain wrap around the wrist of my sword hand keeping it in place.
I opened my eyes and turned into the chain cyclist to try to swipe at his front tire with my sword hand, but he was holding my wrist so tight that I couldn't swing the blade.
With his grip so tight on my wrist, I leaned left and yanked with my right arm, pulling him off his bike. He still held on to the chain though, even as I dragged him next to my bike.
His bike skidded on the rode and took out two of the bikers when they ran into it. One of them flipped over with their bike landing on top of them. The other just flew forward and rolled on the road.
[You have defeated a biker gang member. Appropriate life essence allocated. Silencing repeat notifications]
His wheel rim dropped directly on the ground, sending him flying over the handlebars. He tumbled and got run over by his own bike.
[Secondary objective complete!]
That was the last of them. As I looked forward again, I noticed the car had vanished. I still had it on my Blood Sense radar though. It had turned off the road a mile back.
I navigated my way through the streets, using my Blood Sense to determine my direction. Once I was a few blocks away, I felt the girl stop moving. The car must have stopped and turned in somewhere.
I saw her body as a glowing red shape ahead of me. I could see her through buildings and I could sense her across miles. I saw as she was dragged from the car and taken into a building.
I arrived at a warehouse in an industrial area. No cars were around. None that I could see anyway, unless they were on the other side of the building. It was night time.
Either the district was abandoned or the warehouse workers went home at night. That seemed unlikely as many manufacturing warehouses operate 24 hours a day. The area didn't look run down though.
I got off my bike and walked up to the loading dock door that the driver had taken the woman through. I tried to open it but it was locked. I used my Blood Saw to cut around the lock to disengage it. I kicked the lock out and pulled the door open.
Unfortunately, that had made a lot of noise, so I was probably in for a fight right off the bat, but I felt prepared. I was warmed up from the fights I had on the way here.
I walked down a long lit hallway with doors on either side. I didn't open any of them, because I could see where the woman was. She was several doors down. No one came out to stop me.
Maybe they hadn't heard me enter. When I got close to the door the woman was behind, I heard talking. I leaned against the wall near to the door to listen. I didn't want anyone kicking the door open on me and laying me out.
