Here's yet another rush commission. This one's a scene from ~Damiel's upcoming story, "Lacrymosa Zero." This one was a lot of hard work! Not much to say about this one other than...

"Shade twisted the throttle forward, closing it. Leaning forward, she squeezed the front wheel brakes. The result wasn’t long to come: her rear wheel rose off he road.
Without losing time, she leaned on the right, inducing a counter-clockwise spin.

Time, for her, seemed to slow down, as the cave spun around her, and the road beneath her. Three bikers on their powerful two wheeled rides appeared in her eye range. It seemed like she had all the time of the world to withdraw her Glock, switch it to full auto and fired.

The leader of the squad could believe his eyes. This small, lithe woman not only pulled at Stoppie at two hundred kilometers per hour, but also is spinning around!
« Sir! Watch out! » his wing man screamed in his ear through the radio built in the helmets, but it was too late, anyway.

With grim satisfaction mixed with growing regret, Shade saw a first armor piercing bullet hit its mark in the squad leader’s armor plated chest, pushing him off his bike. Soon a second bullet impacted with his shoulder, shattering the bone cap and shoulder blades, and causing the dying man to start an aerial swirl of uncontrolled limbs. If his left lung wasn’t so severely punctured, he would be screaming. But all that came out was a gurgle, before a third bullet punched straight through the helmet, and exited in a shower of bone debris and spongy matter. The nearly headless body bounced a couple times on the road, turning and twirling before it skidded to an halt before another biker drove on it.

To be continued in LACRYMOSA ZERO ~Damiel
COMING SOON!"
