Chapter 3 (Part 3): Trio

His suit, although didn't look like armor, was one nevertheless. It was made with kevlar clothing and titanium plating, and although it wouldn't protect him from higher caliber bullets, it would do fine against the lighter ones. 

Phoo! 

The door broke open, with the pieces of the drawer and table flying everywhere. “Come out, don't waste our time. We don't want this to go on as much as you.” Xiong Lei said in Mandarin as they looked around before they were met with a barrage of bullets to their helmets. None of them pierced through or were able to hurt them. But the sound and the vibrations that were caused by it were enough to cause confusion. 

“We gave you a chance!” Nikolai shouted, before taking out a grenade launcher. However, before he could fire a grenade out of the equipment, Xiong Lei stopped him. “What!?”

“You don't want to destroy the information.” He said before they felt something pushed them and ran past them. 

“It's Gabriel, he ran out!” Nikolai rushed out of the basement. 

“Don't worry, the windows are sealed, and the doors are locked, Jackson expected this.” Xiong Lei replied before he and Nikolai activated their X-ray vision.

As they looked around, a fire extinguisher was thrown towards them from the kitchen. While it was in front of them, a bullet shot through it, causing a small explosion and causing their vision to be blocked by white powder from the fire extinguisher.

Pah!

Gabriel swung the gun to Xiong Lei’s helmet as hard as he could, however, the helmet did not move and neither did the Hong Party supersoldier, he grabbed onto the weapon, and using the exoskeleton feature of the armor, crushed the gun before punching him. 

He crashed onto a wall and fell to the ground. As he touched his chest, he felt like he could almost sink his finger into his ribs, “Not a good sign” He whispered. He felt like coughing, but doing so would just make the both of them more confident to attack

As Xiong Lei brushed away the white powder off the eyeglass of the helmet, he just stared at Gabriel, “It seems you have gotten stronger.” He said. “To have endured this punch, I guess they drugged you up with more enhancers…”

“Trust me, Xiong Lei, you don't want to do this.” He raised his hands again.”

“Maybe not me, but I can't stop him.” Xiong Lei pointed at Sergei Nikolai.

Sergei forcefully ripped the helmet off his armor before running through the table to catch Gabriel. The armor crushed the table and whatever was in front of his way but he stopped in front of Gabriel before using both of his steel-armored fists and punching towards him.

But instead of dodging, he grabbed onto the fist and matched the exoskeleton-enhanced Russian strength with pure brute strength(and upgraded billion-dollar steroids). 

He could feel the effect of the enhancer running through his veins, with his muscles pumping and making the suit that he was wearing tighter. 

“What the hell…” Sergei said before jumping back and taking out his grenade launcher, however, the second before he pulled the trigger, Gabriel turned the Russian’s hand around, causing the grenade to explode onto the armor. 

“GAH!” could feel a fragment of the grenade stuck in his head. 

“That’s enough, I'm ending this.” Xiong Lei took out his gun and tried finding Gabriel, however before he could even try, they could hear helicopters, and the both of them have spent time in the military and they know that those helicopters are not on their side. 

As they look out of the window, they can see Gabriel staring right back at them, while the US soldiers start descending from the helicopters.

Both of them quickly ran outside of the mansion as they saw a helicopter aiming missiles right at them. 

And luck would be at their side as they were able to jump out the moment the house exploded. 

Xiong Lei scanned the area to find Gabriel, only to find the carrier of the information running to one of the helicopters descending. 

“After him!” He shouted, but before the both of them could catch after him, they were surrounded by Navy SEALs. 

They quickly fired explosives at the two men, however, all of them missed. Despite using heavy armor, they were able to dodge the slow-ish grenades that were being launched by the grenade launchers. 

“AHH!” Sergei shouted as he ran towards three Navy SEAL operatives before pushing them away with one slap, effectively knocking them out.  

But the leadership in the helicopters was not worried at all, after all, the Navy wasn't there to fight, they were there to buy time. 

The helicopter descended precisely in front of im. “Gabriel!” A rusty voice came from the inside of the helicopter.

“Colonel!” he shouted back, “Is it here?!” 

“It's all there, we even got you a new one..” He said pointing to the big box which Gabriel soon threw out of the helicopter. 

Gabriel sighed, “Guess the old one was too beat up, huh?” 

He punched through the box and quickly unboxed it. 

The engineer from the helicopter immediately ran towards it, setting it up for Gabriel to wear. “It's bigger than your old one. All the weapons that you prefer are in the container at the back of the suit,” he said. 

Gabriel nodded, “Roger that” he replied as the engineer carefully placed the armor around the project agent.

The armor looked like a silver chunk of metal, although part of the helmet was sprayed military green. ‘It seemed they didn't manage to spray the whole suit yet…’ he thought before the engineer fixed the helmet on his head. 

As he started moving, he felt light despite being in the tank of a suit, unlike the suit that he wore in the past which was lighter in terms of weight but heavier to walk in. “Maybe I could have beaten Maximilian Balder easily with this…” He said while turning to the two other supersoldiers nearby. 

The Navy SEALs were careful at maintaining their distance and attacked with explosives so as to avoid any confrontations against those two monsters. 

“Move out of the way!” The troop commander for the Navy SEALs shouted. Their faces brightened as they followed the commander’s instruction, moving out of the way for a silver-shining armored Gabriel to enter the fight.
