The Two Lives Of Aaron Wade: The Gamer And The Heir 195 Space Virus V : Anti-Virus

"I'm not infected if that's what you're worried about." I said to them as I took a deep breath and moved my head from left to right with a grin on my face as Tiamat followed my gesture with the rifle. She pulled back, looked at Houki and said.

"It's him, no one else would be so nonchalant with their life on the line, not even if the option of resurrection is offered to them." My grin grew wider as Houki slammed into my chest and gave me a hug that was a whole lot warmer than I expected she must have been waiting for me to get back.

"Alright give me the details, how can we set our friends free and get rid of the virus." I asked as I turned to Houki, she was probably the only one that would be able to come with a cure for this virus.

"I've synthesized an antivirus, I didn't have enough time to study the virus, so I don't know if it's affecting them magically or if it's a biological reaction. So this treatment is not really full proof, I'm banking on it being more biological, but even if it's not, one shot from the antivirus would put them out of commission, long enough for us to find a proper cure." Houki said to me as she hand me a tray with clips filled to the brim with bullets.

The clips themselves had gla.s.s like tips with a blue glowing liquid in it, and there was a lot of them. A single clip had twelve bullets in them, and then we're right of them. I don't know how much time she had on her hand, but coming up with an antivirus this fast was surprising even to me. None the less it was time to take action.

"Where's Mark?" I asked as I couldn't find him the moment I got onto the s.h.i.+p, it was just Tiamat and Houki.

"He's in the infirmary, he's also infected. It was through his help I was able to come up with the anti-virus, though I'm pretty sure he didn't want to give that help. I've tested it on him, it knocked him out; so I've out him under observation. Whatever happens, I should be able to know if the antivirus is working in at least two hours." Houki said as I placed the clip into my handgun, and then watched as Tiamat loaded longer but similar bullets into the sniper rifle. Even if the bullets were not lethal, a shot from that gun can still kill someone.

"Don't worry Master, I'll be careful and make sure not to kill our friends, though I can't promise they'll be in fighting shape by the time I'm done with them." Looks like this entire situation p.i.s.sed her off, either way it looks like I'll be going back out just as quickly as it returned.

Raven Song we not here, which would only mean one thing, and the was the fact that he wasn't online. If he was here the situation would have been a little bit more different, we were the only two players within our guild, but we should be able to fix it up as soon as we deliver Zareth to his home...granted we can disinfect him that is.

"We only have one shot at this guild master, please don't miss, and don't shoot anybody in the head of the heart. Basically avoid any vitals, the bullets will hit with the force of a normal bullet and can actually penetrate, but not too deep, just enough that the gla.s.s head will shatter and administer the anti-virus.

The design is Dinah's from when she made your arrows. I just borrowed from it, I didn't have time to outfit them for a how, so you would have to use a gun. Nevertheless just do try to be safe, the both of you, and get our friends back." She said with tears in her eyes, I get the feeling she was probably missing Jack.

I turned to Tiamat and nodded my head at her, the dragon gave a bow as we both made it back to the deck of the Acheron. Zareth's infected form was lumbering around like someone who was drunk, the incomprehensible language if the virus was being spewed out of his mouth like some sort of mindless zombie.

He hadn't noticed us yet as he had his back turned to us, Tiamat wasted no time as she focused her Legendary gun at his back, and squeezed the trigger just after a second of hesitation. If it was just a second then I doubt it was even hesitation but just her settling her aim.

*Spooof!*

*Bang!*

I had no idea when she had gotten a silencer for the gun, but it kept them from being discovered as the bullet slammed into Zareth's back. It was just our luck that the virus didn't feel the need to have it's infected wear armor. Zareth was carried forward until his stout frame smashed into a wall, leaving behind the indent of a dwarf as he slid to the ground unconscious. I turned to Tiamat and asked.

"Seriously?"

"He's still alive master, no harm done."

I don't know why, but this entire situation seemed extremely personal to her, we would have to have a talk later, but for now it was onwards. I jumped down, looking around to look for those floating blobs, but for some reason they were all gone from the cargo area. I quickly checked on Zareth to confirm that truly Tiamat hadn't just killed him, then I turned to her.

"He's okay, we'll come back for him later, let's go get the rest of our friends!"
