As Shay carried the now helpless Stormtrooper captain down to his inevitable demise, Shay could definitely feel the weight of the man's body crippling his ability to stay on a wall. Shay could see Agnès' worried face above him, the man on his shoulder struggling, making it even harder for Shay to concentrate. Shaking his head, Shay couldn't handle it anymore.
"If you be quiet, I might vouch for your survival when you see Gilgamesh's face." Shay spoke coldly, making sure he sounded as serious as possible. The captain only mumbled to himself for a single second before sighing, going limp on Shay's shoulder. Looking down, hoping all his worries were gone just then, Shay was painfully reminded that won't be happening any time soon. A few Stormtroopers began looking around the building, but thankfully enough, nobody found the bodies in he haystack.
Well, not yet, anyways. Agnès leaned over to search the area, thinking it would be more in line for her to redirect Shay, considering he's the one now carrying their target. Breathing in a bit, Agnès quickly took to liking this idea, before hopping over the windowsill, and shimmying on down next to Shay, and a dirty look from the Stormtrooper captain.
As silently as she could, Agnès whispered, "I'm not quite sure how exactly we're going to get out of this... The only thing I can come up with is leaving from the back of the building, or the opposite side in which we came..."
Surprisingly enough, Shay responded almost immediately, despite his current situation. "Either way would work, as long as there's not too many people watching over it. We just have to make sure we don't mess this up, since this is usually the part in every plan where others get caught," Shay groaned slightly upon finishing, before nodding in the opposite direction of Agnès, signalling her to start moving. Her eyes fluttered for a moment, realizing she was going first this time.
Agnès gulped a bit, before calming her nerves, and beginning to move her entire body to the side. Perhaps it wasn't as fast as it would be for the likes of Shay, but he was glad to see her learning nonetheless. The Stormtrooper weighing Shay down as he followed Agnès began to worry the two Primes, them both knowing that if Shay missed a step, the captain would fall, or both of them would, and that's nothing they wanted to happen.
Shay almost thought for a split second whilst climbing, that perhaps killing this captain would have been a better idea in the long run. Or he was just getting soft. Looking down, Shay remembered what it was like to murder another person simply because they were in some sort of military working against his affiliated group. There was always that uneasy feeling that they didn't deserve it in the slightest, and the worst part is, he couldn't escape from doing it, no matter what side he was on. Perhaps that was why, Shay thought, he was giving this Stormtrooper mercy.
In the process of shimmying down the wall the two adversaries were climbing on, Shay began to mumble under his breath, much to Agnès' dismay. Groaning slightly as Shay kept climbing down, even he was getting annoyed that this was the fastest way of escape, now that he’s got a large man in moderately heavy armor slung across his shoulder. Even Agnès was beginning to doubt Shay’s ability to both hold onto the wall and the Stormtrooper Captain at the same time.
Shay was really beginning to loathe how much he was struggling with this. What took the two Primes minutes to get down the wall they both were climbing on, Shay felt as if it took forever. As soon as Shay’s feet touched the dusty ground beneath him holding the wall he was previously climbing on, Shay couldn’t help but to let out a sigh of relief. Dropping the Captain to the floor, Shay already began to walk forward, only turning to face Agnès for a short moment.
"I'll look ahead and see if there are any other guards here. Keep watch of him. If you see anybody coming, run towards me," Shay whispered, Agnès responding with a short and gentle nod. As Shay began to walk onwards, Agnès was about to turn around, before something in the corner of her eye caught her attention. There was a bright light emitting from behind the corner Shay was about to walk into. The ex-Assassin turned back around, only to see a white blur forming in front of him, and a strange bright light rushing towards his chest.
All Shay could hear in the background was Agnès' short gasp as both of them saw a Stormtrooper guard appear seemingly out of nowhere and burn the bright beam of energy right through Shay's abdomen, despite his efforts to jump back. Sure, Shay had been stabbed before, shot even more so, but absolutely nothing he had previously went through was comparable to this. What Shay expected to feel like cold steel cutting through his body, was rather a feeling of molten slag melting through his body, but even that might have felt better than this.
With a loud grunt, the Stormtrooper heaved away at his whirring energy weapon, only to be interrupted by Shay's elbow rising towards the guard's throat. As it connected with a surprising amount of force, Shay immediately felt the horrible burning feeling go away from his body, although that didn't help the current pain he was in. Staggering backwards slightly, Shay clasped at his wound, expecting to feel blood seeping from the gaping hole in his torso, only to find burn marks.
Finding it increasingly more difficult to breathe, Shay looked up to see the Stormtrooper raising his 'sword' for another attack, yelling another one of his war cries. The temptation to just silence this guard for the rest of eternity with his own blades was rising, but before Shay could flick his wrists upwards, the faint stretching sound of a bow could be heard behind him. Hearing that, Shay smiled a very impish grin, before staying still for just a moment as the Stormtrooper rushed forward.
As the noisy beam of energy swooped by Shay's chest again as he quickly hopped out of the way this time, the guarding soldier could barely react to Shay's sudden movement to the side, allowing Shay to grab at the Stormtrooper's arms, holding him in place as the sight of Agnès raising her bow graced Shay's field of view. Before she was about to fire off a quick and easy shot to the head, Agnès' aim suddenly flicked downwards, the resulting shot hitting the Stormtrooper's foot and sticking him to the ground beneath them.
Before the guard Shay was holding up could even scream, Shay had already wrapped his arm around the Stormtrooper's already beaten up neck, squeezing the consciousness out of him in a manner of seconds. As soon as the body Shay was holding went limp, he slammed the Stormtrooper back down on the ground, his ankle visibly twisted as a result. All that could be heard now was Agnès giving off a small sigh, although Shay didn't know if that was signalling she was annoyed by this delay, or relieved it was over.
Before Shay himself could celebrate, the next sound he made immediately resulted in a violent and wheezing cough, groaning as the feeling of pain immediately rushed through his body again, without the adrenaline numbing his nerves. Agnès quickly rushed over to Shay, holding him up slightly, already worried for his health. In the back, the Stormtrooper Captain could be heard angrily mumbling to himself knowing another one of his troops failed him once again. Shaking his head, Shay looked over to Agnès.
"Shay, you must allow me to treat you...! This wound looks bad, especially considering we need to get out of here as soon as-" Agnès began, before Shay interrupted as quietly as he could.
"I'll let you do that after we get out of here, like you said... There's no way either of us would survive if we stayed. I can already hear the others looking for us... Besides, I think I've had worse...!" Shay teased, chuckling slightly. Coughing again, Shay stood straight to try and control his breathing. Sighing, Agnès nodded after a moment, before clenching her fists, jogging towards the Stormtrooper Captain, picking him up with a surprising amount of motivation to her movement.
"Very well... but you will allow me to help you after we're out of sight," Agnès finished, Shay smiling at how much of a drive she had in her now. Nodding, Shay then looked behind the corner he was previously attacked behind, noticing nobody was there to stop either of them now.
"Now's our chance. Let's leave this damned place," Shay ordered quietly, giving both Primes the cue to run.
And so, they ran.
