Where it all began...

[Raphael]

...He suddenly took a shot at Raphael, striking him in the chest. The bullet falls away from his scale-like vest without leaving a mark, but he effects are apparant. The shot felt like a sledgehammer, and he lost his footing. He fell about 5' before he caught himself. He held there, getting over the stun of it. lt had happened before, but it still hurt. As he got his head back, he proped himself up and was ready to begin again. He just wondered if that shot was luck or skill. If it was skill...*

Kain looked at Rapheal as he fell down from the sky, then after he saw that he was okay, He poked his body out from behind the pillar and fired at the remaining agents. He hit two or three of them, then noticed that their numbers didn't seem to be getting any smaller. Hopefully, it was because they had a larger number with them, and weren't getting reinforcements already. He pulled his triggers back and held them there, unloading all of the bullets in both of his clips into the men.

Israel continued shooting the agents entering, hitting each agent fatally. "This can't be it. This can't be all they are going to throw at us," he thought, as he ducked to reload his guns. Unfortunately, the metal desk was starting to be reduced to rubble, so he ran to find more cover. Running over to another desk, he jumped on it and leaned forward, tipping it over. As he did, a rain of fire destroyed a chair in front of him. Behind the chair was a vault. Noting the position of the vault, Israel started firing more shots at the agents.

[Raphael]

*Raphael kept taking the shots like he normally did until he noticed the agents begin to pull back slightly. He recognized the manuver, and focused on the area behind the wall...

"SWAT!!! Fully armored, two riot shields. All but two have SMGs, others have shotguns. Two teams of 4!"

Raphaels words would only be heard by his allies, due to the gunfire. He pulled the DE, as it would get through the armor.*

Kain looked at the incoming teams out of the orners of his eyes as he loaded new clips into his guns and began to put bullets into empty clips. Once they were full, he shoved them into special pockets made inside of his jacket especially for his Uzi clips. He saw the team all had more powerful weapons, so he kept his at the ready. Maybe he would find an opening in their defenses that he could take advantage of. And if he didn't, he always had his sword handy. Chucking that at someone's head would definately do some damage. And if it didn't kill one of them, it would distract them at least.

Israel put away his pistols, grabbing his shotgun from off his back, and making sure it was fully loaded. He abandoned the current cover, as it would be of no use to him. SWAT. They were bad news. Israel leaned as he walked along the wall to get closer, and when he got to the position he wanted to be at, he stood up, hitting his head on a metal box. Which held an axe. Breaking the glass in the front side of the box, Israel grabbed the axe. Testing it's sharpness, he used it to slice through the box. Satisfied, Israel walked quickly, but quietly towards the door, where he waited for the SWAT to come.

[Raphael]

*The first thing that happened was two metal gernades were thrown into the room. They were flash-bangs, made to blind and deafen anyone in the room. After they went off, two pointmen with riot shields stormed the room, quickly finding cover before droping the shilds and pulling thier SMGs before opening fire on all three positions, providing cover fire for thier other tema memebers that follow behind them. Three more go to the cover the pointmen found, and begin the open fire as the shotguns cover the back.

Raphael covered his ears when the flashbangs went off, and by the time he pulled his DE agian, the pointmen had already set up. He turns around the pillar again, capping one of them in the head, cutting right through the armor like butter. Before he could even get another shot off, he was fired at by three more people, forced back behind his pillar. This would be intresting.*

[Akuma]

Kain stayed behind his pillar, shutting his eyes tight and holding his hands over his ears. He heard the grenade go off, but the sound was deadened to a tolerable level. He quickly snapped his eyes open and grabbed his Uzis. He saw the one of them that was getting closer and fired a few bullets at his face and chest, bringing him down to the ground when the shots found weak points in the armor. He put one Uzi away and pulled out his katana, holding it in his right hand, pointed towards the ground.

[Raphael]

*Raphael holsterd his gun, relizing that it would do little good from this position. He turned to the pillar and began climbing. He went up a few feet and, with proper timing, jumped from place to place. In less then 10 seconds he was attached to the front of a pillar containing three men. He just needed a distraction... He heard Uzie rounds and saw a man on the other side fall. He took his chance, sliding down the pillar. When a gun came up on the side of the pillar, Raphael grabed it with both hands...

[Raphael]

...and yanked the man foward. He was of balance, and when he pulled his gun back, all he heard was "click". In that short time, Raphael ejected the magazine and pulled back the bolt. No bullets. Before he coule even think, he got a dagger across the throat. One of his allies who just reloaded poked his head around the corner and raised his gun, but Raphael just brush it aside and he met the same fate as his friend. The fourth man, however, swiveled around faster then Raphael expected...

[Raphael]

When the shotgun went off, he wondered what gave him away...

It had actually been the shadow of his blade. Raphael is blind, so he had no way of knowing. He fired off a throwing knfe as he fell from the impact, which found a crevice in the armor and did its job. When he fell he rolled quicly to the side and behind cover, not even feeling pain. Just...

He was right there on the edge of unconsiousness. His world slowed to a halt for 4 seconds, but seemed like an eternity, he just stayed there..

[Raphael]

Then the pain set it. He gripped his chest as it resonated through his body, waking up completely. He stood up and proping himself up on the pillar pulling his DE. He was done with CQC for now. Only four are left, and ones almost dead...*
