\+/ Night City Stories \+/ Chapter 18 - Bound By Blood \+/ PRESENT \+/ A beautiful sunny day shines in through Graves' apartment window. The thin grey wisps of cigarette smoke calmly twist and spin amongst the sun's rays undisturbed. The clouds of smoke disperse as Zaunya is seen slowly walking throught it past the window with both her iron and a proximity mine in hand. Brian is seen walking past her before opening Graves' weapon locker with the passcode..pulling out Graves' M2038 Tactician. The custom finish on it was a Cyberpunk yellow with a quote engraved in black along the barrel that read 'Negotiator' in Cyberpunk lettering. Brian raises the gun up over his head admiring the work and reminiscing to himself. The heavy sound of Zaunya's boots slowly walking up behind him causes him to turn around. Standing before him, she hands him a combat knife which he grabs before stepping past her. She continues past him back over to the window looking out onto the street..she lights a cigarette before glancing back to see Brian on the other side of the apartment, messing with the proximity mine. Yet again, it is clear that the pair have had several conversations before now. The calmness in preparation within the apartment is palpable.. the air holds a feeling of inevitability that the two of them look to have accepted.. together. Anticipation of the unknown is often filled with any number of emotional anomolies. This combined with the countless series of events leading up to this point have the two of them in a complete flow state..remaining expressionless and sharing no words with each other. As Brian walks back across the apartment, Zaunya glances over at him before taking another drag of her smoke and looking back out the window. Brian walks over to a dresser and stands before it.. picking up and staring at a small framed picture of him and graves in front of Graves' Colby Butte when he first got it. As Zaunya looks on at Brian doing this, she places her lit cigarette onto the window seal and puts her black leather facemask back on before getting up and walking toward him. Her heavy footsteps, once again grab his attention.. he glances back at her and notices her looking up past him. He glances back forward, looking up at the CCTV screen above Graves' dresser where they both see 2 6th street gang cars rolling up the street towards the entrance of the apartment. They both stand before each other looking deeply in each other's eyes with their Nue's clutched in their right hands.. mirroring each other.
Brian holsters his Nue while holding Graves' shotgun in the left.. he looks away from her as she turns around walking toward the other side of the apartment. Zaunya takes her position on the far end of the apartment away from Brian staring at him focused. Brian hugs the shotgun while patiently watching the CCTV. He watches as they pile out of the two cars.. he slowly looks over at Zaunya and holds up 4 fingers, signaling the amount of them coming. He glances back at the CCTV again to see a final person leave the first car from the backseat, Angela, still sporting Rick's white cowboy hat. The group of them all carrying enough iron for a proper street war. Brian glances back at Zaunya and instead holds up 5 fingers. He watches them enter the building and make their way to the top of the staircase outside of Graves' apartment before walking away from the CCTV and taking his own position. The front door is gradually ripped open by a prybar slowly building up the tension of the moment. As the various members quickly flood in, the first one in the door looks left in Zaunya's direction seeing her crouched waiting before getting pushed from behind by the 2nd one. Brian blasts the second one that enter's in the head, ripping a chunk of it off and sending it flying upwards toward the cieling. The concussive sound of the blast sends the first and 3rd ones that entered instinctually falling away from it in the opposite direction right into the proximity mine triggering it instantly. The explosion of the mine sends fire, smoke and debris pluming throughout the apartment muting and ringing everyone's ears while knocking them off balance. As the explosion goes off, the 4th 6th streeter to enter, falling onto Brian in his direction, grabs the barrel of Brian's shotgun pushing it up toward the cieling as Brian struggles to see through the smoke and debris. As Brian goes to draw his Nue, the guy tackles Brian to the ground with what felt like the weight of a truck. While this is happening, during the explosion, Zaunya triggers her Sandevistan, sprinting through the black and grey smoke clouds with shrapnel and debris floating through the air in slow motion.. almost like zero gravity in space. She quickly executes the 2 6th streeters with point blank headshots as their bodies continue to fly off balance through the air from the momentum of the mine explosion. Still continuing forward, she sees Angela at the top of the stairs still in the process of drawing her revolver. Without hesitation, Zaunya dives through the yanked open apartment door flying toward Angela raising her Nue up to her face. Angela quickly pushes Zaunya's hand upward toward the cieling while also finishing drawing her revolver and pointing it at Zaunya's gut. Its clear that Angela was able to trigger her own sandevistan just in time. With her wrist being held by Angela she uses her momentum while still in the air and throws her right knee at the barrel of Angela's revolver right before it fires.. knocking it out of her hand and landing on top of her. The finishing momentum of the explosion sends the 2 of them flying down the staircase..tumbling in each other's arms yanking and throwing strikes with unseeable speed only visible to each other. Brian, still in the apartment has Grave's shotgun being pushed up against his throat pinning him to the wall on the backside of the apartment. Brian throws a headbutt at the 6th streeter snapping his head back slightly which has no affect on his chrome plating only cutting himself open in the process. He throws a headbutt back at Brian, stunning him and doing serious damage. Brian then throws an elbow at his face which the 6th streeter takes, while also using the moment of the strike to quickly toss Brian onto the ground. He cocks the shotgun and aims it at Brian directly on the ground. Brian quickly throws his leg up and kicks the barrel away from him sending a blast through the wooden floor of the apartment kicking up wood chips and dispersing more explosion smoke. Brian then gets up and charges at him, picking him up and slamming him onto the ground onto the back of his head stunning him. Brian shoves his forearm down onto the guy's throat holding him in place while finally drawing his Nue. As he raises it up toward the 6th streeter's face, he pulls a knife and plunges it into the side of Brian's ribcage. The shock of the deep stab causes Brian's body to flinch and tense up..which causes Brian to instinctually pull the trigger at the same time sending a bullet from his Nue directly into the 6th streeters face. His lifeless hand still clutching onto the knife gets effortlessly pushed away leaving the knife stuck deep in Brian's side as he unloads 5 more shots into his face..sending blood splattering all over his own face and chest. Before he can even gather himself.. covered in blood, clutching the collar of the lifeless 6th streeter hes sat on top of, he hears the sound of footsteps at the blown off front door. He raises his Nue and points it at the sound with his right hand while still clutching the 6th streeter with his left. He looks to see Zaunya stagger back towards him before falling onto the door frame in pain. He instictually attempts to get up and rush to her aid only to be reminded of the knife stuck deep in his ribs. He grunts in deep pain struggling to get off of the corpse and stagger to his feet as Zaunya slowly slides down the side of the doorframe covering it in blood and falling to her knees. Brian yanks the blade out while shrieking in pain before tossing it onto the floor of the apartment next to Graves' shotgun. With blood seeping out of his ears, he staggers over to Zaunya to help her up. He takes her by the same hand that her Nue is in to help bring her to her feet. Their matching, bloody red right hands... seperated by only the gun... as they both unknowingly, fully embrace that first personal contact with each other. Still stunned, she falls into his chest with her forearms as he places both of his hands on her face looking over her bloody cuts and injuries. He gently places his thumb on her bottom lip as blood streams from a cut inside of her mouth down her chin past her scar. He slowly helps her down the stairs past Angela's now mangled corpse only identifiable by that bloodied, white cowboy hat...The pair leave behind nothing more than a bloody spattering of dead 6th streeters and an ashing lit cigarette on the untouched far-side windowseal.
