Cyrus Noble Chapter 6

There were maybe one or two groups of those troopers before reaching the top. I saw details of there uniforms. Like the suits were black, they had helmets with visors that covered there eyes, but not the rest of them. The important detail was that I saw the same symbol I see on everything we found in this Dam. A golden seal, with a bow and arrow strung out, ready to fire. It was placed in front of the world. Or, a circle with borderlines showing the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean. I never understood what it meant. We made it to the hatch. The others have been outside a few times, but never far away from the dam. We threw open the hatch and I practically threw each of them out there. I climbed out before Arsenal. When I got out, I realized our mistake. Three helicopters hovered at level with us on each side of the Dam. I made a silent curse that I'm not gonna bother putting down. A seventh chopper landed on the far end of the dam away from us. The doors opened to more troopers. I tensed up and prepared for our last battle. I saw the troopers stop, and then line up, as if the Queen of England herself were coming out of the chopper. I wouldn't bet on it. Instead, I saw a man in a black monkey suit, and a black trench coat. He wore shades, which completed the agent character from the Matrix. He was skinny and he showed no expression what-so-ever. He called over the noise of the rotors. "Cyrus!" I flinched a little more. How did he.....No. It doesn't matter. "You don't remember anything do you?!" He grinned a little. "Still the Noble man I see. How's your little family doing there?" I extended my claws, and my fangs. "NOW!" I screamed. Megan flew off and latched herself onto the tail of a chopper, despite the down draft. She ripped it off and threw it at the one next to it. Both went down into the water. Viktor shot down another one, making a complete hole right through it. Magnet held out his hands and concentrated. The rotors on the chopper stopped completely and folded upward. He then let his arms drop, and the helicopter did the same. Jazz yelled, "Magnet!" She threw some pellets into the air. Magnet mentally held them there and made them fly into the engines of one of the choppers. They exploded on impact and caused the chopper to fall to the valley below. Arsenal switched his hands and opened fire on the last chopper, You can guess the results. My turn. I ran toward Bishop with lasers flying all around me. I slashed and kicked my way through the guards. I bit into the neck of one guy, drawing blood. I tossed him to the side and let him fall over the edge, into the valley. I gagged. Ack! Blood does NOT taste good. I turned to the man in black. I said "You're next." I got a running start and lunged at him. I must have looked like death itself, but his expression said that I was a mere annoyance. He lashed out and, some how, grabbed me by the neck. I hung there, feeling helpless. Crap. He stared at me a second, holding me in the air. Not enough to choke me, he just held me there. Then he started squeezing. I heard him say "You developed better than I expected. I am pleased. I wonder if....." He dropped me as he drifted off the sentence. I was sucking in air and then coughing up blood (that still wasn't mine), but I managed to get this out. "You the leader?" He looked at me. I couldn't see his eyes behind the shades. He said, "You can call me Bishop, for now anyway. And yes, I guess you can call me that. I am the CEO of the Archer Corporation." He turned back to the chopper and he spoke to the pilot. "Take us out!" The pilot started the engines and Bishop stepped on. We could do nothing as Bishop flew off with everything I needed to know.
