It never failed, Akeno had an addiction for the bounties that were starting to crop up all over the game world, and every time she pleaded and begged for Rex to come, as if it was some sort of ritualistic hangout between the two of them. She was fucking crazy, but the soldier was greedy enough to follow through with her madness if he could get some mula out of it in the end....

The Commando showed up in repetitive manner; Cigarette between sharp teeth as they frowned at the pink haired man-eater, “Ehh...what the fuck is it this time? This better not be worse than the last bullshit you put me through!” Rex fussed before rolling his shoulders some and looking around the damp and nasty swamp lands.

The last time he'd been here things had gone rather horribly, and it was the last place other than the raid he'd seen Towns before he died. So even before the fighting started he was already feeling more than a little edgy. With a tilt of his head to a side he'd inspect the woman's demeanor, “You scared or somethin'? Really? You?” He'd laugh before swatting a hand towards her dismissive and moving forward, “Come on..let's find this fucker and get this over with.”

Rex's eye twitched with frustration when Akeno rambled on like she always did, “Oh grow up! You're the one who wanted to come out here, yeah brat!” He snapped back, clenching his fists before he stopped to pivot lazily around and catch the woman losing her shit over a scampering bunny rabbit. She was being rather...timid considering she usually ran head first into danger like it was nothing.

What a fucking lunatic. With a roll of his eyes Rex turned back around and flailed a hand forward in anger towards a massive dungeon looking entrance that was nestled within the growth of the swamp. Long vines and metal chains tangled together against a huge metal cage like door that lead deep down underground.

“Dumb ass question...Where else?” Rex muttered before turning his attention back on the creepy looking place, heading that way. Eventually when they were at the door, he'd inspect it for a level to open, or something of that matter, “Te'h...how the fuck do we even get in there?” He muttered as he dug around in some bushes...

What a dumb ass idea that was! Rex quickly shifted his gaze on the woman, snarling out teeth in annoyance, though in the end her suggestion ended up being the quickest solution. He'd stand from the bush he'd been looking in, patting his armor off and then reaching behind him at his belt to pull out a couple of black squares.

“...I guess that's not a bad idea. Stand back a bit, alright? Cover your face.” He muttered lowly before sticking the squares on the giant metal gate, and arming them to explode. A small blinking red light on each before he moved to take cover with the cannibal, “Three....Two....one!” He counted before pulling his det-trigger, causing the bombs to explode.

Sure enough the gate groaned and snapped at the heated blasts, creating a lopsided hole in the ancient steel so they could enter. When the dust and debris settled, Rex would rush from the cover and wave a beckoning hand towards Aneko, “Come on! If he's down here, then he knows we're coming now!” He warned, rushing inside and down the dark steps...

It was pretty fucking sick, the further they went down underground you could start to hear the unpleasant cries of torture and things far worse. Even Rex was starting to feel a little edgy when they finally leveled on solid ground, which was blood stained dirty stone. You could smell copper in the air, probably from all the carnage.



They didn't bleed in this game, but that didn't mean everything else wasn't capable of such a feat. It was insanely dark, so Rex flicked on his chest light and pointed his shotgun forward, wrapping his hand tightly to it's grip as he leveled his vision forward and started a very precise military like stalk. “Careful, not a lotta room down here, you get trapped I'm not saving yeah...” The soldier warned.



The hallway they were in would eventually house prison doors on either side, and the muffled cries and pleads of agony coming from within their chambers. The commando kept them going forward, light shinning forward into what was hopefully empty terrain. That was up until a poorly dressed fiend wrapped in bloody bandages rushed out from one of the rooms and waved a rusty clever at them, Rex fired, killing it instantly, “Shit! Hostiles!” Another group of them started to crawl and sprint towards them...

“They're not people!” Rex snapped back, reassuring Akeno that she needed to keep thinking of them as nothing more than fancy data, versus real entities that deserved any less than being blasted apart. Another shotgun blast of golden projectiles brightened the hallway, and the soldier rushed forward, sliding himself in a pivot to put his back on the Cannibals.

This way they'd have 360 degree cover, and the ones trying to get behind them wouldn't have the chance. Right side, high swing, dodge, and fire. It was like clockwork as the Commando tore through his enemies with little problem. The only pause in his carnage was when he reached to shove shells into his deadly weapon.

He'd tilt a look over his shoulder briefly, shoving his back at Akeno, “Cut your way forward! Let's go!” The brash man barked, going back on the offensive. If the woman did indeed drag them onward, she'd eventually see another large and slimy looking steel door, hopefully their real bounty would be waiting behind it...

Rex had just kicked off another bandaged maniac when he heard Akeno kick through the door. Though before he could slip inside she was grabbed by the waist, and the soldier would scramble to reach a hand out for her trying to catch her before she was pulled away, sadly he was a little late, “Shit-Akeno!” Carlo hissed.

It was probably first time ever he seemed a little worried about his cannibal. With a growl he gun butted what was left of the enemies they'd encountered, and tossed a grenade from his belt towards them, scurrying shortly after into the room where Akeno had been dragged off before it exploded.

If he was able to catch up, he'd snag the woman's wrist in a tight hold, skidding to a halt on the edge of his boots and using his other hand to aim his shotgun upwards towards what he assumed was the butcher, firing off two rounds, “Come on! Get loose! Hurry!” Rex pleaded, not having the time to reload right now!

Rex struggled even after she told him it was alright, where the hell had her selfish and ridiculous nature gone? She seemed far more human than what she had in the past, and it was eerily making the soldier worry more about her safety. If she was finally making leeway away from her madness only to die here...

“Don't be stupid! Just--” She cut him off again, and with a quick flick of her wrist she got free and Rex grit his teeth as he watched her go flying forward to trade hits with the Butcher. It wasn't like he could judge her for being reckless, when he probably would of done the same thing. When the giant torture machine turned his back on the soldier he wouldn't waste time before taking advantage of the weak point.

Heavy slug rounds were quickly loaded into his shotgun and he'd raise the thing in a steady aim towards his center mass, blasting away in the dark room to light it with golden projectiles. The scorching hot and piercing bullets would hopefully stagger the big guy, and knock off some armor to expose weak points for Akeno.
