《Olympus: The Agency》32. The Truth
Advertisement
Thanatos smashed through the side door, taking it clear off of it's hinges, allowing Dionysus to roll in. She aimed her rifle up and fired at a Realmic soldier who Thanatos had startled, killing him quickly.
From outside, Enyo ran in carrying Junior, then Thanatos kicked a piece of machinery in front of the door to block it.
Dionysus breathed out, but couldn't forget the plan. Another self-destruct. And she was in charge.
"Alright," Dionysus said, alerting the others that she had orders. "Thanatos, you're our main fighter. Don't let anything touch us as we move."
Thantos nodded, pulling his blade from it's sheathe and activating it. It made a soft hum that signaled it was vibrating at such frequency that it could shear through steel.
"Enyo, I need you to science up and hack the base's security. Make it easier on us and, if you can, the others. But we're the priority right now."
Enyo grinned, raising her left arm and typing into her wrist-com. The base's security was not going to go down quickly, but if Enyo was on the case, it would go down.
"Junior, you stay with me. We need you to rig the core. The three of us will protect you. Got it?"
Junior nodded, not about to argue with anyone in Olympus.
Dionysus motioned for Thanatos to move forward. Sword-crackling, demented-grinning, heavily-armoured Thanatos ran forward. Whenever he saw a soldier, he cleaved through them with his sword, allowing the other members of his team to focus on their jobs.
As Thanatos and Dionysus engaged the Realmic Concord, a small holographic man appeared on Enyo's wrist-com.
"Greetings, Agent Enyo," he said politely. "My name is Magnus."
"Are you this facility's artificial intelligence?"
Magnus shook his head. A beep alerted Enyo that a file had been sent to her computer.
"I simply impart the truth. Please read it and know we are on the same side."
Enyo checked the file for viruses. It was indeed called 'The Truth', and seemed to be a text document. But there was no way she was opening something the enemy had sent her.
"Apologies, blue man," she said, cancelling his signal to her computer. "We have job to do."
Magnus frowned at Enyo's words, and his hologram faded. Enyo became slightly worried that she had upset the tiny blue-
BANG!
Enyo's wrist-com exploded on her arm, melting through the metal and sizzling into her flesh. She fell to her knees and bit down on her tongue, her eyes watering at the pain, shivers taking over her limbs. She fell against the wall, breathing in hard.

"Enyo," Dionysus cried, kneeling beside her comrade. "Thanatos, we need a place to lie low. Find one."
Thanatos nodded and pried open another door. Junior and Thanatos entered the room, identifying it by it's machinery as the engineering bay. Dionysus lifted Enyo up, and helped the Russian limp into the bay. Unfortunately, they noticed too late that it was occupied.
"You made a terrible choice coming here, Olympus," came the voice of the former Agent Knight. A heavily armoured man came out of the darkness, flanked by his sister, Agent Pawn, and their squadmate, Agent Bishop.
A woman down and unwilling to allow Junior to fight, Dionysus stood beside Thanatos, who was greedily eyeing the siblings, eagerly awaiting a battle.
"Thanatos," Dionysus said into her mic so only he could hear, "We need time for Enyo and Junior to figure things out. Can you handle the juggernaut and his kid sister?"
Thanatos grinned. "Of course. Such is His will."
Dionysus focused her attention onto Bishop, raising her rifle ready. Bishop responded in turn.
"You're actually going to fight us?" Bishop said in disbelief. "It's three on two, and Knight's in power armour. Just surrender, this doesn't have to end in bloodshed."
"No," Dionysus said quietly. "It has to."
Dionysus rolled to the right and took cover, firing a few rounds at Bishop, who responded in turn and took his own cover. Pawn drew her knives and ran towards Dionysus, and was met with a hard fist to the face, knocking her a clear meter back as Thanatos engaged her. Thanatos jumped back as Knight entered the fray, the two of them clashing their weapons with sparks of arcing electricity.
Junior pulled a hypo out of his pocket and injected it into Enyo's shoulder. Relief from the intense pain flooded Enyo's body, and she sighed.
"Junior, we have mission to do. Can you do it from here?"
Junior looked over to the console on the other side of the battle. It was connected to every system as the engineering head's terminal.
"I can use that over there, but..."
"You need to get past the fight. I understand. Focus on what you need to do, young man. The three of us will protect you."
"No, you're really hurt, Enyo."
"I am. But Zeus is trusting us." Enyo said. She rose to her feet, pulling her handgun from her holster with her good hand. "He is trusting you as well."

Dionysus moved to take another shot around cover, and a bullet slammed into her shoulder. She fell back, groaning in pain. Enyo fired at Bishop, walking towards the battle and emptying her clip at the former agent.
"If she dies, traitor, you will find Hell to be envious of what I will do to you!" Enyo cried. "No one kills my friends!"
"Friends?" Bishop said to himself.
Thanatos thrust his blade through Knight's armour, locking up his right arm, then punched him in the head with a left hook. Knight didn't bother taking the sword out, grabbing Thanatos and slamming him into the wall with his remaining arm.
Pawn rose to sit, her vision spinning. She saw Knight and Thanatos fighting, and Bishop and Enyo exchanging fire, then her eyes fell upon Junior accessing the terminal. She pulled her arm back to throw a knife, and a bullet went clean through her hand. She dropped her weapon with a shriek, then glared at Dionysus on the other side of the room. Dionysus was still on the floor, aiming her weapon. Playing dead.
Bishop sunk behind cover to reload, a move that would ultimately remove him from the battle. Enyo ran towards his cover, rounded the corner and whacked Bishop in the face with her pistol, knocking him out. Enyo turned her gun on Pawn, who rose her arms in surrender.
"Tai, stop."
Knight heard his sister speak, and stopped. He knelt down, tearing the sword from his arm and tossing it to the ground.
"Olympus... please accept our surrender."
Dionysus tried to stand, but when she realised she wasn't going to, she settled for training her gun on Pawn. Enyo kept her gun trained on Pawn, and Thanatos picked his sword up and held the blade to Knight's head.
"What are the terms of your surrender?" Enyo said roughly.
"Only one thing." Pawn said. "The file that Magnus sent you... It's on every computer in this base. We surrender and we stop fighting, if you read it. After that, we'll accept whatever happens."
"Your drivel does not interest me," Thanatos spat.
"I'll do it," Dionysus said. "Need someone to bring it to me, though."
Enyo ripped off her ruined wrist-com, then took Pawn's off and applied it to her burned forearm. She walked over to Dionysus and knelt down, opening the file labeled 'The Truth'.
"Your terms are accepted." Enyo said as she and Dionysus began reading.
"It... Is this a fabrication! Can you prove what this says!?" Enyo screamed after reading for three minutes.
"It's all in there, Enyo," Pawn said. "Evidence as well. You've been played. You've all been played."
Thanatos turned and walked towards Enyo, his sword still activated. "Enyo, we have a mission to complete. They will say anything to make us doubt our duty."
Enyo's eyes fell upon one line, then she rose her gun at Thanatos. Knight and Pawn rose their weapons at Thanatos as well, and Dionysus turned her gun to Thanatos.
"Read it!" Enyo yelled.
"I refuse, because I have faith that is not so shaken!" Thanatos bellowed back. "I will end all of you if I must."
Thanatos swung his blade at Enyo, who rolled to the side. The blade cut Dionysus's face badly, ruining her synthetic eye and making her pass out from the pain.
"No!" Enyo cried, firing her handgun at Thanatos. He used his blade to block two of the bullets, but three met their mark. Two in the chest, one in the shoulder. He responded by cleaving his sword through Enyo's bicep. Her already wounded arm was severed from her body as Knight punched Thanatos in the back of the head, knocking him out.
Pawn ran over and used a canister of biofoam to seal Enyo's wound. Pawn needed to work quickly before the Agency realised they had turned, and she had no Wal present to assist. Pawn ran over to one side of the engineering bay, grabbed a device that made Enyo nervous, and ran back, holding it to Enyo's temple.
"Agent Enyo dies today," Pawn whispered. "Remember who you used to be."
A sharp pain made Enyo breathe in sharply as something was pulled from her head. Pawn did the same to Dionysus and Thanatos as Enyo sat up, fighting to remain conscious.
"Should I... still self-destruct the base?" Junior called over.
"No, young man," Enyo said. "We were on the wrong side."
Pawn helped Enyo stand as Knight picked up the three unconscious fighters in the engineering bay.
"My name is Sasha," Pawn said. "What's yours?"
"I am..."
Enyo braced herself for pain, but none came. She realised that there was no leash. She wasn't Enyo anymore.
"I am Snezhana Ivanov."
