After chasing Irons down the hall all i could think of was finally killing the bastard. For Cormack, Knox and Joker. I would finally avenge their deaths. Irons was going down. One way or another.
Killing Irons
Irons: If you were in my shoes. You'd do the same thing Mitchell.
He shouted while being chased by Mitchell down the hall.
Mitchell: You dont deserve to live !! You sick FUCK !!
Mitchell picked up his the pace running as fast as he could after Irons. He would've had tackled him but an Atlas Guard jumped down out of nowhere and tried to shoot him. Mitchell responded quickly by cracking the soldiers nose and pushing him over the railing to his death. He continued to pursue Irons before tackling him over the edge of the balcony. Irons held on to Mitchell's prosthetic arm causing him to lean forward as well. Before Mitchell can go over. He grabs hold of the railing making his arm get stuck in the process.
Mitchell: GET OFF ME !!
Irons: NO !! I'm not letting go unless you pull me up. he shouted.
Mitchell: Fuck you !!
The building was starting to collapse beneath them.
Irons: You only two choices here Mitchell. Either pull me up !! or this whole building goes down and we go down with it !!
Mitchell: The way i see it. I only have one choice. And thats ending your life.
Mitchell slowly brings up his prosthetic arm so that he could cut it off with a knife.
Irons: Mitchell !! what are you doing ? I gave you that arm Mitchell. I gave you a second chance !!
Mitchell: You dont get a second chance Irons. This is the end for you.
He stabs into his prosethic arm making Irons fall to his death.
Irons: Aaaaahhh MITCHELL !!!
Mitchell gets up from the ground with the help of Gideon.
Gideon: I've got ya mate.
Mitchell: Gideon ?
Gideon: I've gotcha. he smiled
They both looked down at the fire below when Irons fell. It was finally over.
Gideon: It was only gonna end one way for him Mitchell.
Mitchell: I know. He honestly thought that he could solve the worlds problems. Whatever that was im sure that he took it with him to the grave.
Gideon: To right mate. To fucking right.
Mitchell: Lets get out of here.
Gideon: Ladies first. He smiled.
Mitchell: Dont get cheeky Gideon.
Gideon: I've already did that mom.
They laughed as they limped all the way to the other side of the building where an extraction helicopter waited for them. They boarded the chopper before taking off back to base
Back At Base
Kingpin: The war is over Gentlemen. Thanks to Gideon and Mitchell, We can all go home safe and sound.
They all cheered.
Kingpin: But now i would like to make a toast. So everyone gather around.
They all gathered around with glasses of champagne
Kingpin: Out of my 21 years of serving with the United States Military. I would like to thank all of the brave men and women that served our country. We have lost soldiers, and we have lost loved ones along the way. But yet here we stand as a whole. Their names will not be taken in vain. Nor will they be forgotten. We will always remember our fallen hero's.
Washington Dc
In loving memory of Sgt / Major
Cormack
United States Army
March 20,1980 - January 8, 2061
Tough as nails and loyal to a fault.
Mitchell: We took down Irons yesterday Cormack. He's finally dead.
We'll never forget those who put their lives on the line to help protect us.
Mitchell: We've won the war. Gideon and i stopped Manticore from launching.
We'll never forget their faces.
Mitchell: Thanks to you. Your the reason why i kept on going. You showed me how to keep my head held high when Will died.
Their memories will never fade away.
Mitchell: And now that your gone. I still continue to stand strong.
So for as long as we shall walk upon this earth.
Mitchell: I know that your watching over us Cormack.
We will remain strong for our soldiers and our loved ones.
Mitchell: Tell Will Hi for me. He smiled.
Cheers to you all.
Gideon: Hey, You ok ?
Mitchell: Yeah Im fine. Now that Cormack can finally rest knowing that Irons is gone.
Gideon: Yeah.
Silence
Gideon: Well, Im not to fond with good byes mate.
He said pulling out a bottle of whiskey.
Mitchell: Neither am I. But i suppose we can toast one last time for the fallen huh ?
Gideon: Damn right.
Mitchell: Where's llona ?
llona: Behind you.
She said walking up with three shot glasses.
Gideon: I'd thought you never show up llona. Did you bring the shot glasses ?
llona: Right here mate. she smiled.
Gideon: Oi !! taking up after Mitchell. eh ?
Mitchell: To right mate.
They all laughed as they stood in front of Cormacks stone. It snowed heavily in Washington Dc so they all wore heavy coats, hats and mittens in the snow.They stood there for awhile longer in silence before Gideon noticed that llona was hugging Mitchell from behind. He thought that now would be a good time to ask.
Gideon: Alright. How long have you two been dating ?
They both looked at Gideon confused.
llona: What do mean ?
Gideon: Dont play dumb with me llona. I see you two always flirting with one another.
llona: What does that have to do with anything Gideon ?
Gideon: I just wanna bloody know.
Mitchell: Why do you wanna know ?
Gideon: Because we're all friends. Its not like im gonna judge you mate.
Silence
Mitchell: Fine. You wanna know ?
Gideon: Yes.
Mitchell Alright. I'll show you.
He pulled llona tightly to him before tongue kissing her lightly in front of Gideon.Their tongues fighting inside of each others mouths as they bit down on each others bottom lip.They pulled away completely before watching Gideons mouth drop.
Mitchell: You should see the look on your face Gideon.
llona snorted
llona: Looks like he's seen a ghost.
They both laughed.
Gideon: Alright. Shut up.
He handed them both a shot glass
Mitchell: So did that answer your question ?
Gideon: Very.
They laughed again
Gideon: How long has this been going on ?
llona: 2 months now.
Gideon: So all that moaning that was coming from down the hall that one night was coming from...
He froze in his thoughts for a second
Gideon: You ?
llona: Guilty.
Gideon: Fuck me.
Mitchell laughed at Gideons reaction
Mitchell: I knew someone was gonna hear her loud ass.
llona: Fuck you Mitchell. Now i feel embrassed.
Mitchell: You should be. he laughed.
Gideons eyes grew wide while he popped off the cap to his whiskey bottle before taking a big swig from it, hopefully to forget what he had just heard them say
Mitchell: You ok Gideon ?
Gideon: Never better.
He said taking another drink.
llona: Are you sure ?
Gideon: Yes. Now can we hurry up and make a toast ? My bloody balls are freezing off.
Mitchell: No shit.
They all laughed.
llona: Fine. What should we toast about ?
Gideon: Lets make a toast for the fallen.
Mitchell: Sounds good to me.
Gideon: Alright. To all the fallen soldiers that lost their lives saving another. May no war require it but find it in the battles we have won. Here's to the land we love. And the love we land. Cheers.
llona: Cheers.
Mitchell: Cheers.
They all took their shots of whiskey.
llona: That was beautiful Gideon.
Gideon: Well, like i said im not to fond with good byes. I always found it to be the hardest. Just like cormack said. Its never easy.
Silence
Mitchell: You know, I think that i can finally retire now Gideon.
Gideon: Bloody right mate. I'm 100% behind you all the way.
He patted Mitchell on the back as they made their way back to the cars.
llona: So now what ?
Gideon: We seperate amigos.
llona: Will you keep in contact with us Gideon ?
Gideon: Of course i will llona. You two knuckle heads are all that ive got.
llona: Promise ?
Gideon: I promise.
He hugged llona before she got into the passenger side of Mitchells car.
Gideon: You wanna be a gentlemen and walk me to my car ? he teased.
Mitchell rolled his eyes.
Mitchell: Come on.
He walked Gideon two cars down from their so they could talk in private.
Gideon: Ya know something Mitchell ?
Mitchell: What ?
Gideon: I think im getting to old for this shite mate.
Mitchell: Yeah...well your not getting any younger Gideon.
Gideon: Cheeky bastard.
Mitchell chuckled. Before Gideon got into his car.
Mitchell: So where ya headed ?
Gideon: England. I got family out there that would love for me to visit.
Mitchell:Just make sure you stay in contact with us Gideon. You never know what could happen.
Gideon: Dont sweat it Mitchell. You just make sure you take care of llona. She's your headache now.
He chuckled.
Mitchell: Guess i'll see ya around huh ?
Gideon: Yeah.
Mitchell walked back to his car but stopped when Gideon called his name.
Gideon: Mitchell !!
Mitchell: Yeah ?
Gideon: Semper Fi. he smiled.
Mitchell: Semper Fi. he smiled back.
Then Gideon took off.
Mitchell took one last glance at the cemetery before getting into his car and driving off. He had everything that he ever wanted.The war was finally over, His prosthetic arm was replaced, llona was finally his and Gideon was still around as a friend. Maybe his retirement from the military will pay off. Especially with the one he loves the most
