Part 12
*Setting: With a low growl Midian swiped the air with her right hand, knocking the weapon from Iraxx's left with her power. The gun bounced on the metal floor and rolled to the right side of the room, she then swiped again, in the opposite direction this time, and sent Iraxx sailing to the left side of the room. Now that she had bought herself abit of time she turned her attention back to the Medic, grasped his head in her hands and snapped his neck. She then threw the limp creature down to the ground and gently floated to the ground herself.*
Midian: "I thought i told you to run..."
White electricity coursed around her body and appendages as she slowly stepped towards the Commandor. Even though he was badly injured he was determined to kill her and Alexie and win back his place among the Council.
Iraxx: "Heh, i thought i'd stay and watch the show."
He slowly pushed himself up, keeping eye contact with the powerful being.
Midian: "My dear, you are the show."
As she said this she hurled a strand of red electricity at the Commandor which hit his chest and and sent a shockwave of pain into him. His eyes seemed to burn and his throat felt hot and sticky. Approaching him she then grasped his throat and hoisted him off the ground, pushing him against a wall.
Midian: "I'm going to enjoy making you suffer, Commandor."
She smirked whilst stating this and then flung him over her head and to the otherside of the room. He landed on his side and slid across the floor, only stopping when coming into contact with the other wall.
Iraxx: "Yeh...well, enjoy it whilst it lasts, bitch."
He reached out and grasped the butt of one of the dead Soldiers automatic rifles, he then dragged it towards himself and picked it up with his right hand, wincing in pain as he did so. But before he could fire he was knocked back by a ball of white energy which hit his mid-section, the energy itself wasn't as powerful as the one that she had used to kill the Soldier, but still painful. Iraxx gasped in discomfort and looked down at his chest, the kevlar vest and shirt he was wearing had been burnt away and all that was left was a red burn mark from the energy ball.
Midian: "Tell me, Commandor. What did it feel like sacrificing your own flesh and blood for a mere promotion?"
Midian smirked as she said this. She had read the information provided by Adele on Iraxx and now knew some of the more darker deeds the Commandor had done in his past. As she approached him her eyes shone a more intense white and simutaneously more strands of her hair seemed to age...
Iraxx: "F*ck you."
He flung his left leg along the floor in a vain attempt to knock her off her feet, but unfortunatly for him, he was stopped by some force and then gently lifted in the air by his left foot. Dangling upside down he struggled and flailed around, much to the pleasure of the female.
Midian: "Your own father...and for what? A job which you have ultimatly failed to keep? You idiot...heheh."
She chuckled, her voice getting more menacing and dark.
Iraxx: "That's were you're wrong. As soon as i get rid of you two i'll get my job back..."
Midian: "Oh...really?"
She held her right hand up, her palm facing towards Iraxx's forehead and sent a string of electricity into him. He jittered around, his eyes rolling up into his sockets and drool seeping from his mouth. Stepping back she then allowed him to fall to the ground, his head hitting the floor with a loud 'thump'. His arms wrapped around his head, clutching it in pain as he tried to force the tears back.
Midian: "Enlighten me, how did it feel to know that you were replaced? That the creatures you worked so hard to please kicked you to the curb without batting an eyelid...??"
Bringing his arms away from his head he looked at the female and realised that she knew things she shouldn't really have known.
Iraxx: "W-What? How do you...know?"
Resting his right hand on the wall he slowly pushed himself up, again wincing in pain as his right shoulder reminded him of his past injury.
Midian: "You mean you haven't figured it out? Even after the clue i gave you...?"
He limped forwards and snarled, looking deep into her eyes.
Midian: "Adele. Adele Morgan."
Midian smiled and stated the words with great pleasure. And that's when everything came into place. He shook his head slowly and scoffed, not believing she was capable of such a thing.
Iraxx: "S-She told you? She told you all of that?"
Midian: "Well, not exactly...i extracted certain pieces from her memory, but she provided the information on your past...but it doesn't matter either way, the outcome is still the same."
Iraxx: "You and her...you're working together?"
Flinging her head back the female laughed and shook her head.
Midian: "Of course not!! She approached me and Alexie, wanting to make a deal. I could have the Medical staff and another favour...if, i dealt with you. In the most painfullest way ever."
She smiled and a spark of electricity curled around her torso. Now seething with anger, hatred, confusion and frustration Iraxx flung himself at the female, only to be lifted in the air, thrown into the ceiling and held there. Positioning herself directly underneathe him, she then held out her arms, her palms facing upwards and sent forks of blue and white lightening into him. Into his chest, his legs, his stomach. He groaned and cried out in pain as he felt his skin burn and get scorched.
Midian: "She even got those Demons sent to kill you...she's determined, to say the least."
Moving backwards she allowed the scorched and beaten Orkhid to fall to the ground, face forward. His body clanking on the hard metal and blood seeping from his mouth and nose.
Midian: "You have no idea the power she has allined herself with...no idea at all."
She crouched down and caressed the creatures hair softly. Her nails were slowly becoming elongengated and now her entire right arm had become pure white. Noticing her nails she stood and looked at them, her face now becoming more fearful as she turned her hand around and stared at it with dread. Whilst she was partially distracted Iraxx noticed the secondary weapon of one of the Soldiers, a small MK23 handgun. Slowly his left hand crept towards it and fumbled with the holster. He could hear the heavy breathing of the, seemingly panicstricken, female. Looking upwards slightly he realised that she wasn't paying any attention to him anymore and quickly grabbed the weapon, pushing himself onto his knees he then pointed it and fired three rounds. The bullets escaped and hurtled towards Midian who, with one foul look, stopped them and sent them flying back towards the shooter. The bullets hit the kevlar jacket yet still forced him to fall backwards.
Midian: "IDIOT!!"
Waving her right hand outwards she flung Iraxx across the room and into one of the consoles. His right side hit the console and caused him to wince in pain before finally hitting the ground.
Midian: "I've had enough of toying with you...now it ends."
Raising her hands above her head she made her palms face each other and slowly generated a large ball of red and black energy. In doing so her hair quickly turned more and more white, as if being sped up by the magick she was using. Knowing that he would die if he didn't think fast, his eyes scanned the area in his immediate vicinity, noticing a small flashbang in the pocket of one of the fallen troops he lunged for it and quickly snatched it from the holder it was held in. Holding it in his right hand he pulled the ring out with his right thumb and hurled the white tube at the ever-powerful Witch. The tube sailed through the air and forced Midian to stop what she was doing, the ball of energy dispersed into small particles and then disappeared into nothingness as she was now forced to concentrate on the small object. Wrongly thinking it was a Grenade, she held it in the air with her mind.
Midian: "Idiot Iraxx, bullets, Grenades, fire...i'm immune to them all."
But as she studied the small object and noticed Iraxx covering his eyes, it suddenly dawned on her what it was and before she could cast it out of her eyeline...
*Poosh*
The blinding light hit her eyes and immediatly blinded her, causing her to stagger backwards. In a vain attempt she hurled lightening bolts and strands of energy in Iraxx's direction, but with one quick leap to the left he had dodged them and as he held out his left hand with the gun, he fired. Now not knowing were the bullets were coming from, she could no longer protect herself and the bullets hit her. The first three tore through her stomach, the next two hit her chest and the one after that went through the bottom of her neck. Black blood oozed and spattered from the entry and exit wounds, reaching out to grasp one of the nearby consoles she made her nails dig into the metal and etch her mark into it before falling on her back. Her head hit the floor, causing blood to spurt up out of her mouth and run down her face...

*Setting: Alexie turned around upon hearing the gunshots, usually after the third or fourth shot the shooter would have been subdued, but the shooter had fired six before stopping. Feeling a sudden urge to hurry his proceedings, Alexie typed in the last commands for the bomb and armed it. He then stood up and looked at the Medical personel one last time.*
Alexie: "Enjoy. Heh."
He backed away from the sportsbag and out of the room, he then turned his weapon around and hit the keypad with the butt of it, causing it to slowly close. The Medical staff all remained pushed against the wall, in fear of their life but not knowing what was in the bag. Now Alexie turned and smiled to himself, feeling a slight rush as he knew that he was doing some good in the world. But as he looked on ahead and down the long, straight, poorly lit corridor he noticed an Orkhid in black. Severly beaten and limping towards the doorway and behind him, the still body of Midian.
***
*Setting: Iraxx smiled and dialled in the code for the door, he then stood to one side as the door closed slowly and Alexie shouted randomly whilst firing at it. Once the door had closed the Orkhid smiled to himself and cracked his neck, stepped over the body of the bloodied female and chuckled, making his way to the exit. Holstering his weapon in the back of his trousers he limped to the next security door, stood behind it and punched in the same code. He was determined to make sure Alexie didn't escape, and he was going to close all the doors to make sure that, that didn't happen...*
