"No....Alice still hasn't returned" Viper told Aisha as she folded her arms.

***

Trinity looked to Cale first, then to Roux who was guarding Aimee, which only caused Trinity to chuckle some more "Stay out of this you two, this is none of your concern" she replied back without hessitation, reaching into her coat, pulling out her two guns, aiming one at Cale and the other at Roux.

She kept one trailed on Cale as she approached Roux, placing the gun to Roux's throat, smirking somewhat as well "Now, put the knives away....before I decide to pain the nearest building with your brains...."

Roux chuckled.  
"Really?  I think I have the edge here...you bitch."
She taunted, as the barrel of Trinity's gun split cleanly in two, seemingly on it's own.  In the same instant, Cale's autocannons fired a precise burst, knocking Trinity's other gun out of her hand and launching it across the room.

"And besides.  This is our concern.  Aimee is my friend.  And I love her.  So that makes it my concern..."

He said, arcs of lightning crackling between his hands as he stared at her...

Trinity sighed a rather dissapointing sigh "You owe me two new guns...." she spoke as her guns had been destroyed.  However, in that instance, she instead, grabbed Roux by the throat and turned around, booting her away, right into Cale, yet, grabbed a knife from Roux in the process and tossed it in their direction, aiming for Roux herself.

Whilst they were preoccupied for a few seconds, she took the chance to turn back to Aimee, smirking to her as well "You and your friends, tell your other friends that I've returned.....tell them that they have much to fear of Dragonstorm....the Hydra will soon be ready...." she chuckled as she rushed past Aimee and took a leap onto a nearby building, practically leaving the fight with two minutes to spare for the self-destruct left.

Roux grabbed Cale as she was thrown, vanishing with him as she also grabbed Aimee and darted out of the facility...

Dr. Zanasiu's team cheered as they saw the Comanche helicopters approach.

Suddenly Spc. Crota turned to them, his eyes were closed, indicating that he was seeing in infrared. "Someone ran out of the building and it looks like they've got Aimee!" he said.

"Gustave. Alfred. Zachary. Sgt. Masters. Come with me to save Aimee. Everyone else, get the he'll away from the lab!" Cpl. Stern ordered.

"This way!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted, gesturing towards the now ruined campsite. Dr. Branston's office at the north end was on fire.

At the same time, Cpl. Stern led his group in pursuit of Roux.

The Comanches swept through the war-torn lands, picking off remaining Dragonstorm vehicles they could find near the heroes.

"Crimson Leader to copter leader," Vic radioed.  "You must get clear of the lab!  It'll blow in less than 2 minutes!"

"This is Titan Leader," replied the Comanche squad leader.  "Your message is recieved, Crimson Leader.  We will move from the immediate airspace above the primary.  Marine Corps is engaging the enemy perimeter to open your path of escape.  Transport choppers are on their way."

"Thanks Titan Leader."  Vic looked to the commotion of Aimee's leaving the lab.  "Erin.  Can you get a shot of the kidnappers from here?"

"Yes sir..." Erin stood a distance where she got a clear view and raised her bolt-action rifle.  Calm and collective, she takes a few seconds before she squeezed the trigger and fired once for Cale's head...

----------

The co-pilot raised his rifle vertically as the monster brought the car door down on him to slice him in half.  His kept him from killing him, but the sheer force of the supermonster's strength and was thrown across the room and put a hole in the wall...

The pilot turned on the beast and fired on full auto...

The guard unloaded his rifle into the room Subject 19 was occupying...

----------

In the same armored SUV as Dr Branston, a smoky mist began to form around the space and materialized next to him.  "This hasn't been a good day for you, isn't it?" Project Breathtaker said cooly...

Aimee just snarled a little bit as Trinity had escaped, but more from them actually rescuing her as she looked to the two of them, getting them to stop "Listen, I thank you for your help and all, but I had questions for Trinity still" she spoke as she practically glared to them, taking another look around to see if she could still see where Trinity escaped to, but saw nothing, to which she just punched the nearest wall rather angrily.

***

Viper soon spoke up to those in the vicinity "If you want, I could go and rescue Alice for you guys....I am a Jumper after all...." she told pretty much anyone in listning range as she crossed her arms "But if not, then there's no point in me even being here...."

***

Kiara had overheard the countdown still going on as she looked to Shakila "Get going, I've got to find Jayden for something" she told her as zshe looked to Agito and Slash "Look after her for me will you?" she spoke with a nod to them before turning and taking off herself in order to find Jayden.

***

Jayden in particular, had seen Trinity running across the rooftops and was trying to fire at her, yet, she was too fast for him to even hit as he ran across the ground, still firing at her "One minute is all I can spare...." he spoke to himself.

***

Subject 19 was shot at as she let off a rather annoyed growl, tossing the cardoor like a discus at the downed co-pilot, still wanting to kill him before turning her attention to the pilot, stumbling back some from the shots she was recieving.

As she stumbled back, she fell to her knees somewhat as something popped out of her back, a plagas as one could call it as it twitched around as Subject 19 was attempting to recover from her downed status....she was vulnerable at the moment...

Cale didn't see the shot, but instead let one of his mounted guns shoot the round out of the air before it hit him.  He turned towards the source of the shot and raised his hands in a form of surrender as Roux did the same.

"Hey, I know you want answers from her, but we're gonna want to wait until we're someplace that isn't about to blow, I'd suggest.  And until we have the upper hand."

Roux said, not looking at Aimee, but at the chopper...
________________________________________________________________________

Agito and Slash both nodded at Kiara's request.  
"Come back alive yourself.  Kagetora would be upset if something were to happen to you."
Slash said softly...

"We don't really have a choice," muttered Shelton back. "If we blow our cover now, they'll kill us or torture us for information. The best way we can help James and co. is by playing along and feeding him information; I gave him and several others chips, so if they're ever in range I can contact them easily."

Shelton focused on everyone with chips. <Hi all. This is Shelton. It looks like I'm going to be stuck in the Dragonstorm evacuation, so I won't be seeing you when this battle is over. I'll find a way to contact you, and tell you where Dragonstorm is heading next. Good luck, and I hope I survive to see you again.>

"Whatever..." Aimee growled back as she practically walked off while Cale and Roux were pre-occupied, heading back to where the others were.

"Took you long enough" Viper spoke as Aimee approached them, looking to her for a second with a quick little laugh as well before looking back over to the lab.

***

Shakila grabbed the flash drive and soon, started to head off towards the exit with Slash and Agito.

***

Kiara on the other hand, had found Jayden, approaching him as he noticed that he was firing at someone, only to grab his shoudler "Whoever you're firing at, leave them, we gotta get going before thisd place goes up in smoke....and I doubt you want to be caught in the blast when that happens"

Jayden gave off a nod back "Yeah, I know, was hoping to get a shot or two into that attacker" he spoke as he looked to Kiara before he and her took off from where they where as they made their way back to where everyone else was, all with one minute still to spare.

Another distinct chopping sound pierced the air, as a pair of Chinook transport helicopters appeared above the treeline.

Ivory Leader was the first to see them.  "That's our ticket outta here!" he shouted over the increasing noise.

"We don't have much time before this place becomes a crater!" Vic replied.  "Keep those two at bay until our friends get back!  Then lay down cover fire for our exit!"

Most of Crimson and Ivory Squad readied their weapons on the two Dragonstorm projects, although they're a considerable distance away for conventional fire...

Snow sensed at least one other still the lab and knew who it was.  <Neku!> she projected, <Get out of there!>

----------

The co-pilot fell back just as the car door flew over him, landing on the floor while barely concsious.  When out of the magazine, the pilot reached for another...and found himself out of the rifle ammo.  Still amped up, the pilot grabs the barrel of the large rifle and raced for the downed monster, swinging the weapon down at her like a club...

Cale looked at the Ivory Squad memebers.
"Somebody want to try to convince them that we're not the enemies here...?  Or are we just stuck here as we get blown apart?"
He said, trying to crack a joke weakly...
_________________________________________________________________________

Inside the base, Neku nodded.  
<I know, Snow.  I know.  Kagetora and I are just...running into a few little difficulties>
He replied, ducking under cover and retaliating with a burst of lightning down the hall at a group of Dragonstorm soldiers, as the countdown to destruction of the base inched closer...

As Subject 19 took the clubbing to the face, the plagas on her back continued to flail around before moving away back into her back, to which Subject 19 regained composture and grabbed the co-pilot by the throat straight away as she stood back up, pulling him off his feet before slamming his head multiple times into the nearby wall in order to kill him....even to make sure, by striking him in the back of the neck, digging her claws into said neck as well.

***

Viper looked to Aimee for a second "So, did you find out who that woman was?"

"Yes...." Aimee replied back, growling some more as she clenched her fists "You seem to know an awful lot about Dragonstorm, so let me ask you this one question.....what do you know about Trinity?"

"Trinity? All I know that she was killed, along with the destruction of Trinity Facility" Viper replied back, arching an eyebrow slightly "Why do you ask?"

"Cause....she's alive and well at the moment...." Aimee growled some more still "The mysterious woman was actually her....and she told me to tell everyone else, something about a Hydra....that it nears completion....or something along those lines anyway"

***

Meanwhile, Kiara and Jayden had gotten a fair amount away from the base by that point, yet, were still seperated from the others as the two of them tried to catch their breath.

Little did they know however, was that they were being watched from the treetops, being watched by none other than Trinity, whom was being rather silent at the moment, smirking to herself as she remained crouched down upon a tree branch.

Jayden took a quick look around once more, before his eyes stopped in the direction of Trinity, eyeing the area in front of him before he managed to spot her, already aiming his gun in her direction, to which Kiara did the same as well "Trinity...." Jayden muttered.

"Trinity? But I thought she was dead...." Kiara added in.

"I get that quite a bit actually" Trinity spoke up as she leapt from the branch to another, closer to the two FBI officers.

"Simpson! get moving! The lab's gonna blow in a minute or two! Do you really want to be around when a 100 pounds of C4 go off!?" Keegan shouted.

Dr. Kerzach leapt into the nearest armored SUV and closed the door.

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

<Good luck.> Dr. Zanasiu said mentally. He then spotted the Chinook helicopters. He and his group were at the campsite.

"See if you can signal them!" he shouted.

Cobalt Leader tossed several flares around the area, illuminating the campsite in an intense red light.

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

Cpl. Stern saw the flares in the campsite.

"Aimee, everyone, we've got to go now! They've got a landing site prepared!" he said.

"Everyone! Get to the campsite! The choppers are landing!" Gustave bellowed. He was shouting so loud that Cpl. Stern, who was next to him had to cover his ears.

The group then headed towards the campsite.

Along the way, the group passed by Ivory Squad. "I don't exactly trust the two Dragonstorm experiments but if they're surrendering, I cannot see why we can't take them in," Alfred said.

Shelton climbed into the lead black van.

"Are you the last one?" asked the driver. When Shelton nodded, he turned to Ajax. "Sir, permission to begin the evacuation."

Ajax didn't answer. He was still sulking because Branston shot down his convoy assault plan.

"Proceed," snapped Shelton, flashing his DS-1 badge. As a member of DS-1, he was equal in rank to Ajax, the commander of DS-2.

Trinity soon jumped off the branch and landed in front of Jayden and Kiara, looking to them both, only to have Jayden retaliate and start to fire at Trinity, yet, noticed her dodge the bullets.

In turn, Trinity dashed forward, slamming her hand into Jayden's arm, causing him to drop his gun as she grabbed it in mid-air, aiming it at Jayden's head, all the while, using her other free hand to grab Kiara by the throat and lift her up off the ground a little bit, all the while still looking at Jayden.

"Let her go" Jayden told Trinity rather sternly.

"If you wish" Trinity smirked, letting go of Kiar, yet, kicked her back into a tree before her feet had even reached the ground, to which she pulled the trigger on Jayden, bullets striking his chest at first before she moved in a bit closer, firing a bullet in his jaw and then around to the back of his head, the final three bullets going into the back of his head.  Jayden had been killed...

Trinity then turned around and aimed the gun at Kiara, dashing forward and placing the gun to her head before speaking to her "Looks like your time is up....." she spoke to her and pulled the trigger, but found out that she was out of bullets, and that Kiara had just gotten lucky "Heh....your lucky day....although I could still kill you if I felt like it, but then, where would the fun be if your numbers dwindled away to nothing?" she chuckled and slammed a knee into Kiara's chest, actually cracking her chest somewhat in the process.

Trinity then turned and simply walked off, leaving Kiara where she was, and the body of Jayden on the ground.

***

Aimee gave a nod back to Stern "Yeah...." she looked over to see that Shakila was arriving with Slash and Agito "Where's Jayden and Kiara?" she decided to also ask "Cause we can't exactly leave them here" she spoke up.

The Chinooks homed in on the flares and made a quick and easy landing on the clear space of ground.  The hatches in the back opened, and two armed guards from each helicopter stepped out to protect the heroes as they would enter...

----------

"I can see every reason why we should leave them here!" Ivory Leader snapped back.  "If they leave here on their own accord, then so be it!  But I'm not taking them with us!"

"I can't take that chance either!" Vic added over the increasing noise.  "Let them go!"

Half of Crimson Squad and Ivory Squad lowered their weapons and began to escort the others to the choppers.  The rest followed, but kept their guns on the Dragonstorm experiments.  Two Comanches hovered nearby to watch them...

----------

The co-pilot was being torn apart, but not before his rifle and last clip fell into the vicinity of the pilot, who would quickly grab it, cocked it back to reload it, and pressed it into Subject 19's side before firing...

The guard was trying to find another clip for his rifle, but he had used it all.  Dumping it, he pulled a Mac-10 submachine gun and ran deeper into the building...

----------

Azrael turned the corner, rifle at the ready, and found two females down the hallway, one of which with a fireman's axe...

Cale and Roux froze, then looked down.  
"Neku isn't here...He's inside!  I have to go help."
He said, running back into the base as the countdown sounded 30 seconds left, Roux quickly following him
_________________________________________________________________________

Inside the facility, Neku and Kagetora heard the alarm, and Neku cursed inwardly.
<Snow...you have to get everyone out of here.  There's not much time left.  Go!  I'm...>
He paused for a moment.
<I'm glad I got to see you again.  Take care of yourself...and tell Kiara that Ryu...that Kagetora is sorry.>
He said, as he dodged around several bullets and then a sword swing from Murakami...

Kiara grunted a little bit as she attempted to stand up, grabbing onto the tree in order to help herself stand up, her chest was indeed in pain from recieving the knee to it from Trinity.

She took a quick look around, but could not see Trinity anywhere before looking down at the body of Jayden, growling somewhat as well "Trinity....oh....you'll pay for what you've done...." she spoke as she clenched her fists a little bit then looked over to the lab in the distance.

***

Viper scoffed somewhat when they spoke about Dragonstorm experiments in general "Well....I can see where I'm not needed....should've known that this would be a waste of time...." she then looked over to Aimee and spoke to her "By the way Alice....good luck in finding your friend again.....you'll need it...." and with that, she vanished.

Aimee sighed once Viper had left, shaking her head somewhat "She's right though, I'll need all the luck I can get in order to find Hailey again....rash desicion she's made so far...."

Shakila approached the group and already noticed that everyone else was being evactuated from the area "I have a quick question, can anyone use some data on Dragonstorm at all? Cause I managed to dig up some information, whatever could fit onto the flash drive before we had to get out of there...."

***

Subject 19 growled loudly as she was shot in the side, stumbling back some more before turning around and quickly rushing off, but on all fours this time in order to get out of firing range from the pilot, well, to at least hide anyway, growling softly to herself.

Her ears twitched a little bit as she heard footsteps running, to which she bolted off, crashing through some walls in the process, damaging herself somewhat, but not caring in the end as she continued to make her way towards the guard in question, one way or another.
