47 Expert gun-play

Zach looks deeply at the soldiers aiming they're weapons at him, he applies pressure on the chain wrapping the neck's of the others.

.Drop them now!.

Suddenly he hears a noise from one of the people hes holding hostage,

UEk!

They start spitting blood and slump onto the floor lifeless, the other soldiers start opening fire on Zach.

A few bullets hit him, arm, let and stomach.

He quickly uses phase to try dodge as many bullets as possible as he charges at them while letting go of the chain.

They soldiers seem surprised when the monstrous teenager starts charging towards their suppressing fire.

"GET DOWN!"

One of them look like they have had enough and throws at grenade at Zach's feet.

Zach sees it but doesn't stop running, the grenade explodes throwing fragments everywhere almost hitting the leprechaun.

The little man falls backwards into his car while screaming, the car doesn't seem to be damaged by the fragments.

He finally reaches the soldiers are jams the dreidel into one of they're eyes, he tried to do it non-lethally but they didn't really give him a choice.

"AHHH"

A short scream is followed more gunfire as Zach uses the soldiers body to block the other bullets,

Zach starts to feel the pain in his wounds intensify as he moves due to the internal bleeding but carries on.

After having a short rest behind the body of the soldier taking gunfire, Zach phases through the body hes holding and jumps on another soldier, the soldier tries to draw a knife from his boot to slash at Zach but receives a stab to his heart... His body armour doesn't seem effective against the opponents peculiar weapon.

There are four gunman left and Zach is already exhausted, he grabs the machine gun that the soldier dropped and moves behind the leprechauns golden car.

Bullets ricochet off of the car and don't seem to do any damage.

The soldier realise that they can't complete the objective and decide to retreat, they start shuffling back while maintaining an aim of Zach's position.

Rustle,

Someone comes from behind them, Zach takes a peek and sees a black deer impaling a soldier on it's golden horn.

It retreats once it's charged dodging the fire of the other four.

Zach sees an opportunity and starts shooting wildly at them, he hasn't ever held a gun so he misses all of his shots and finally runs out of bullets.

Seeing the situation quickly turning grim the three uninjured soldiers start running.

"DON'T LEAVE ME!"

The one injured by the deer screams in despair as his comrades disappear.

.They saw my face, i can't let them get away.

He starts sprinting towards the three trying to escape, the deer comes galloping through impaling another soldier before carrying him off into the forest.

Zachs sprinting speed is far faster than the soldiers and he quickly catches up to them, they start blindly firing behind them with their pistols but can't seem to hit him. Zach who's keenly aware of how much it hurts to be shot keeps out of the guns arc as he runs for them.

He jumps up and uses his tail to propel him towards them like a monkey, due to his large strength stat this causes him to fly at a ridicules speed.

He lands on one of them as something makes a large crack sound.

It appears to be the soldier leg as it's bending at an odd angle.

.One more to go.

The one who just injured his leg starts firing his pistol at Zach causing him to use phase.

Zach already being injured and fatigued doesn't manage to catch the last soldier.

He quickly loses sight of him and returns to the injured soldiers.

They are still conscious and have weapons so Zach finishes them off quickly.

Zach remembers the three that committed suicide and decides not to waste anything.

Zach sits on the floor exhausted and looks around.

[Mission complete]

The Leprechaun pokes his head out and sees Zach sitting among three corpses.

"Are you ok there?"

.I just got shot, so yeah i'm great!.

Confused the Leprechaun walks over,

"I didn't think bullets wouldn't hurt you!"

.It was a joke! They definitely do hurt!!!!.

"Ah, sorry!"

The Leprechaun pulls something out of his pocket and sprinkles it on Zachs wounds, an odd feeling envelopes him as he feels the bullets digging there way out.

The bullets fall out of the bloody holes as the holes start to seal up and heal.

.Wow, what it that?.

"Healing powder obviously!"

.Is it common?.

"Obviously not!"

Zach who is starting to get annoyed by this little mans big attitude decides to be straight forward.

.I saved you, can you provide a reward?.

He fumbles with his pockets and has a questioning look on his face.

"What do you want?"

.What have you got?.

"A lot of things, you're gonna have to be more specific!"

Zach sits there and decides to check his status to see what he needs to improve,
