There was a quiet sound of the roof door opened, and an invisible Cale stepped out. Without the snipers seeing him, mr moved to the roof's edge, and in several swift movements, unleashed a set of daggers to slay the snipers in view.
"There. That should make life more pleasent up here..."
He smirked, uncloaking near the others...

James, Zachary and the Dhole were in the basement.

Suddenly the Dhole stopped. "I hear footsteps ahead."

James and Zachary crouched behind a wall. The Dhole immediately opened fire on a terrorist she had caught by surprise.

"Hmm. Amazing they still persist." the Dhole said. "Let's continue."

Zachary was using a flashlight he found on a dead guard. He looked at the wall. "It looks like the main fusion reactor is close."

James quickly radioed Shelton. "Shelton, are the backup generators functional?"

-----

The Iguana guard drew his pistol and knelt down. "Any signs of reinforcements?

"It helps," agreed Shelton, as return fire emanated from the roof doorway. He ducked down behind the extension.

Beside him, the Iguana guard spotted Werner, isolated form the rest of them, and out of sight of the enemies in the doorway. Unclipping a grenade form his belt, he rolled it in Werner's direction, hoping he'd be able to grab it.

Shelton beckoned Cale closer, as sniper fire flew overhead. "We need to get through that hatch over there," he pointed, at a seemingly flat stretch of roof. "You can't see it from here, but it'll stand out once you're closer. Open it, and we can get out of this crossfire!"

"We'll cover you," said Siberys. The Iguana guard, withdrawing his side pistol, nodded akin.

Werner pulled the pin from the gernade and tossed it at the snipers below.

Cale nodded to the others, then ran towards the hatch that had been indicated.
"Alright. Thank you for giving me this chance."
He said, quickly sending several electrical pulses into it, opening it easily.
"Alright. Got it open. Let's go."
He said, a smile on his face...

Serris · **Reply #525 on:** January 24, 2009, 02:00:45 AM

The Iguana guard ran towards the hatch. "Thanks, Cale!"

---------

Hicks looked at the monitor. "Monty! There's activity on the roof and the fusion reactor!"

Montgomery furrowed his brow. "Must be those people. No matter." He then activated the autoturrets in Area 312 and the reactor silo.

Suddenly, a beeping arose from the console.

"Damn it! The backup generators are running low on fuel. We have about 10 or so minutes. The autoturrets and this console will not function once the power dies." Hicks said.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #526 on:** January 24, 2009, 02:19:33 AM

Siberys telekenetically lifted up Werner's stretcher, then grabbed one side. "Shelton!" he called, sliding the stretcher across open fire to him.

Shelton dragged Werner's stretcher behind the extension, though now neither of them were very covered.

Siberys rolled over, re-grabbing one side. "Let's go," he said.

The two made a run for the hatch, as the terrorists spilled out of the doorway onto the roof. Recovering quickly, the terrorists pivoted their weapons, refocusing on the three men.

Suddenly, from their other side, an auto turret rose out of the roof, and also pointed at them. It fired an energy bolt.

"Sorry, Werner!" Syberis dropped his end of the stretcher, and used his power to push the shot away from them. It crashed into the ground, causing a discharge that knocked Siberys to the ground and sent Shelton skidding into and down the hatch.

Syberis went sprawling, coming to a stop fifteen meters away from the others. With sniper fire from above, rifle fire from his left, and auto turret fire to his right, he focused instead on Werner, pushing his stretcher over to the hatch, to safety.

Shelton and the Iguana guard hauled Werner down. "Werner, are you okay?" panted Shelton. "Where's Siberys?"

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #527 on:** January 24, 2009, 11:31:51 PM

"Yes I'm quite alright,' werner said

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #528 on:** January 25, 2009, 02:42:26 AM

Seeing Siberys in trouble, Cale quickly leapt into action. He focused a glass shield onto his left arm, then lunged the turret. It fired at him, the beam striking the smooth surface of the shield and reflecting off. Cale himself then leapt into the air, and unleashed a set of electrical strikes into the turret, destroying it.
"Are you alright, Siberys?"
He asked, as he landed...

Serris · **Reply #529 on:** January 25, 2009, 03:05:30 AM

"Yeah. Thanks!" Siberys responded.

------

Down in the basement, near the fusion reactor. James, Zachary and the Dhole were dealing with the autoturrets.

"Why are they shooting at us?" the Dhole shouted.

"Electrical malfunction?" James suggested.

"Forget about that! We don't have any weapons that can take them out."

"Oh, yes we do!" Zachary said, retrieving the gauss rifle strapped to his back. He activated the infrared mode, took aim at one of the turrets and fired, disabling it.

Suddenly the turrets stopped firing.

"Let's move ahead! We're almost there!" James said.

-------

Montgomery swore as the console died.

"Hmm. The backup generators must have ran out of fuel." Hicks said. "No matter, Zanasiu and his team are probably going to restart the reactor."

-------

Inside the Dragonstorm labs, the Deer scientist was looking at O'Neill. "So, O'Neill have you found anything?"

"No." O'Neill replied. "The base has no power."

"Well, lucky for us we have a small fusion generator powering these labs."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #530 on:** January 25, 2009, 05:35:35 PM

"Why are we just waiting here?" interrupted an angry lemur scientist. "There's nine of us, and like five of them. I say we kill the infidels in the cafeteria and move on to the control room to join Monty!"

---------------------

The Iguana guard looked at Werner and Shelton. "Am I the only one with a gun?" he asked, brandishing his pistol.

Shelton nodded. "I try to stay away from them myself."

The Iguana guard shrugged, and then popped his head back out of the hatch. "Vic, Kerzach, over here!" he yelled, laying down intermittent cover fire for them.

Serris · **Reply #531 on:** January 25, 2009, 06:00:21 PM

The Deer glared at the Lemur. "We can't sacrifice anymore. Dragonstorm takes priority over everything else. Hicks and Montgomery already have the control room. If they wanted to, they could override the safeties and turn the CO2 fire extinguishing system in the cafeteria and basically kill everyone there."

O'Neill listened to the conversation and radioed Montgomery and Hicks, "Hey, Hicks, Monty, turn on the CO2 fire extinguishing system in the cafeteria."

Montgomery's voice came back on. "The back up generators are dead. There's no power to do anything."

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #532 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:05:09 AM

"I'll just be glad when we reach the cafeteria,' werner muttered under his breath.

Gunfire rang out behind the group, followed by a loud bang coming from a flash grenade, as Vic hurried his way back to the team, his body armor riddled with bullet holes, but it easily kept the medic alive and in one piece. "I think we're safe from behind for now..." he said after a deep breath.

----------

Snow smiled back at Neku and gave him a kiss on his cheek, then turned to Dr. Joe. "We'll come too," she replied.

"Ok then," Dr. Joe responded. "Four of us can make it in and out really fast. I just hope what I'm looking for is still in one piece..."

Serris · **Reply #534 on:** January 27, 2009, 10:29:07 PM

"Vic! You're alive!" The Iguana guard exclaimed.

Dr. Kerzach ran to the hatch and dropped down.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #535 on:** January 27, 2009, 10:57:22 PM

Cale followed last, dropping onto the ground gently.
"I took the liberty of shutting the hatch again, so that nothing can follow our tracks. Where are we headed?"
He asked, a small smile lighting his face...
_________________________________________________________________________

Neku nodded.
"Let's head out then."
He said, blushing at Snow's kiss...

"Right. Oh, and Doctor? What are we looking for, so we can help you find it?"
Hawkeye added, looking at her...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #536 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:44:44 PM

"Okay, we're all accounted for?" asked Shelton, turning his flashlight beam from the team to the looming hallway behind them. "Now that the blast doors are behind us, we should have a straight shot to auxiliary control. The good news is, we shouldn't have any problems since the blast doors keep the rest of the base from reaching us."

Siberys caught his tone. "And the bad news is...?"

Shelton took a deep breath. "Anyone already past the blast doors is now trapped in here with us."

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #537 on:** January 29, 2009, 12:48:36 AM

"So if there are any dragonstorm scientists past the blastdoors we're stuck with them well that not good,' werner said.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #538 on:** January 29, 2009, 01:47:51 AM

"No, it's not," Shelton agreed. "Still, it's not like we can just wait here. It’s time to start moving towards auxiliary control. Cale, Siberys, can either of you fuse that trapdoor shut? We don't want anyone sneaking up on us, especially in the dark."

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #539 on:** January 29, 2009, 10:33:09 PM

Vic checked his vest to see if he may have to ditch it, but the armor the scientists here have made kept together and strong enough for another war. He placed his shades back on to accomodate the darkness. "It looks like I am alive," he replied to the guard.

----------

"It's best if I tell you after we get going," Dr. Joe answered. "Whoever's playing with the power now could possibly be able to listen in on us too."
