Chapter 33: Battle of St. Peter's
Take cover, return fire!
Alex ducks behind an oak tree and fires back into the church! (6 vs. 2) Alex's 4-shot volley flies into 3 Hellrider torso and a spare goes into a window! The Hellriders run to the top of the steps and fire at the tree. (1 vs. 5) Shotgun and Automatic Pistol fire thrash the tree and area around Alex, but not manage to get near him, giving him an opportunity to reload. When he hears the Hellriders reloading, he pops back out to fire more, (6 vs. 4) and he disarms one with a shot to the hand, and another in the leg, who tumbles down the 20 or so steps up to the church. (1 vs. 6) A Hellrider charges next to the tree, runs past it and starts spraying the ground. He is surprised to find no Alex, who is right behind him. (6+1 vs. 4) Alex shoots the man in his torso, grabs his Auto Pistol, and before he hits the ground bleeding to death, holds him right up as a shield. Alex comes out of the tree, firing Semi-Automatic Pistol shots with one hand and holding up his shield with a elbow choke with the other. (1 vs. 1) All the Hellriders have taken the time to hide apparently. Some fire back at Alex, (4 vs. 1+1) and the bullet hits Alex's shield in the head. Blood and gray matter splash Alex's face, but otherwise he's unharmed. Dropping the body, Alex switches to his new Automatic Pistol and fires into the Church's door. (2 vs. 5) He hits a statue, but no living person. (2 vs. 6) The Hellriders fire back and manage no better. Alex backs up and continues firing suppressing shots (1 vs. 5) that only draw out a burst at him. (6 vs. 2) Alex feels a bullet slam into his left knee, and his eyes water from the sudden shock. He hobbles back behind the tree as more shots are fired to revise his plan.
