Dante's Abyss Finale 2008

[Burter]

Finale: Part 3

Aero, Android 18, Bardock

The sniper rifle went off again as Reijin held his bullet wound. Aero barely avoided it, running clear up the stairs and not even noticing the saiyan rolling down the steps. He could see Eighteen on the balcony now, kicking himself he didn't notice sooner. She was throwing her sniper down and picking up her own gun, moving inside the building.

Aero felt outmatched. He knew no matter what happened, there was no way he could beat either of the remaining warriors in a straight up fight, so the best thing to do was hope they collide and kill each other off. He gripped his wound, feeling his organs and intestines threaten to spill out of the open pitchfork wound. "Fuck," he whispered as he made it inside, "Damn."

He leaned up against the wall of the opening hall. The temple seemed to be a series of halls and stairs, with a huge circular room in the center. He took a moment to catch his breath, because that was all he got.

In front of the feline-human hybrid, Bardock was standing on the other end of the hall, aiming his nail gun. Aero quickly bounded towards the stairs, dodging the nails as he struggled to hold his guts inside his body.

Aero made it upstairs, dragging his shotgun with his free hand. He made it into the second floor hallway, turning to look down the hall for a place to hide. Instead, he found a tall, beautiful woman with a pistol in one hand and three shurikens in the other. "Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me!"

The pistol blew off three times, all of them missing as Aero ran to the side, slamming against the wall behind a small pillar. He aimed his shotgun with one hand, shooting it just to distract her as he figured out a way to hide. He noticed another staircase going up.

Eighteen fired off more shots as Aero stumbled across the hall. Using his feline reactions, he kicked his sore leg up and jumped up the stairs, being closely tailed by the woman. "Oh no you don't!" She shouted, shooting up at him.

Aero got to the rooftop entrance and turned around, firing his last shotgun shell in the gun. Eighteen ducked, barely avoiding getting her head blown off. She then saw the stormy weather outside as Aero opened the door and fell out.

He quickly looked around to assess his surroundings. Aero opened the gun cannister as he hid behind the platform where the door was, reloading the gun. He could see the bright aura of Bardock as he came up the opposite stairs. This was it: his chance to get them to fight!

Suddenly, he felt a shot right next to him, blasting the cement. Eighteen missed again, causing Aero to run for it, leaping over a small generator on the rainy roof.

As his feet landed, his luck ran out. A nail pierced into his leg.

A bullet from the woman's pistol hit his back.

And a nail lodged into his brain, ending the man's ridiculously lucky run for the title of DA Champion.

And leaving two fighting for it.
