Crimson Canines (Complete!)

Shina replied. "To be honest. I dont know what to do." She told Izaya. She crawled through making her way quietly through the vents. Her goal was to get to an elavator shaft and make her way down. If she could do that she might be able to get down quicker. She was quiet with each movement she made. trying her hardest. If she were to be caught she would have to disarm someone and take their weapon considering she was unarmed at the moment. She had two options. Personally kill Alerius. Which she couldnt do. Or 2 she would have to let out the animals and think up a way to sneak him off.......Wait....


"I might have an idea. What if we let all the creatures out except his cage? Then when the killing begins to seize and the animals and creatures leave we open his so he doesnt get caught in the crossfire. It will be to busy and hectic for the guards to worry about him inside." Then I can pick up a dropped weapon perhaps then sneak off...." Shina spoke but she was unsure. It sounded like a longshot but with the ammount of animals that would be let out she would have a decent chance at getting a window of time to get their comrad. She got him into this she would get him out.

"[SIZE= 18px]W[/SIZE]hatever you decide, Siloh, do it quickly." said Izaya firmly. "Remember, our mission is to take control of Thanatos or destroy the mind dominating device, not get in the way of that nor neglect it. Our teammates in basement seven need you more, hurry up."


Upon arrival to basement three, a walk around would reveal that the west wing was a large circular warehouse like space with ten big glass cages full of twenty-two medium to large creatures most of which looked vicious and dangerous. There were five security cameras around the area and two sliding panels for pop-up turrets located in the south and north top sides of a circular tower right in the center of the vast room.


The tower had three floors and held the control room on the third floor, and two research rooms on the second and first. There were twenty vigilant soldiers on combat alert in the area, four of which were in the control room. They were heavily armored and held assault rifle-swords, dagger-pistols, shields, shotgun axes, shock, sleeping, and explosive grenades. There was a weapons locker in the control room that held a sniper rifle loaded with ten powerful tranquilizing rounds that could knock out a large creature after six seconds and kill a medium creature almost instantly.


Apart from them there were sixteen scientists in the research rooms, and four scientists walking around observing the animals.


Branching out from the center area were hallways that led to cargo units where crates of food for the creatures were kept, and in Cargo Unit 03, there was Alerius being tortured and interrogated.


There were four soldiers in the unit with him and one woman. Standing outside the unit and looking through the glass wall was a general in a combat suit who seemed to be the commander of the army here in Vulca and flanking him were two vigilant high ranking officers. All three were armed with assault-rifle swords, dagger pistols, and flashbang, stunning and explosive grenades.

[SIZE= 18px]T[/SIZE]he woman was not convinced. And the soldier with the baton bashed Alerius across the face breaking his nose, and in the process, tearing the disguise.


The woman gasped and the soldier immediately pulled away the mask to reveal Alerius' real face. "You . . . you're Alerius Auxillius from the Peace Summit battle. You're part of that dog squad that keeps getting in our way . . . "


She thought for a moment, right here in front of her was someone who was an information gold mine. "You four bag him, we're transporting him to a secure location." with that, someone knocked out Alerius unconscious again, covered his head with a black bag, chained his cuffed wrist to his and hoisted him over his shoulder. "General, send your men to basement seven, I don't think they were after the Viscount, but Thanatos."


"Who are we up against?"


"Crimson Canines' Hurricane squad. Don't underestimate them, kill them all. They're one of the most dangerous foes you'll meet in the field."

After some time Shina made her way to the proper floor. upon getting to the floor she took to the air ducts once more she was able to get a clear vew of the area. She managed to get a visual on the situation.


The control room was on the third floor. She revealed this as her first stop. but it was heavily guarded. To guarded for her to fight her way through alone. Then on top of it she had the next issue of the security cameras. Her raptor vision granted by her bioptics let her zoom in on the location of each one. 5 total. Shina moved her position to get another view through one of the next passing air vents in the massive space each movement had to be done perfectly without making to much noise. The animals were howling chanting, screaming inside their cages. They were helping to muffle her movements in the vent system. Shina zoomed into a panel. It was a control panel. Not only that it seemed to be on the third floor where the control tower was. If she could get to that she might be able to malfunction the buildings electricity on that floor. Or perhaps fuck it up to cause attention to the guards allowing her inside the control room.


Shina assessed more of the room. It was so massive though if she had her human eyes there would be no way she could analyse the whole room without taking time.. She scanned to search for Alerius in his cage. But she could not see all them from the angle she was at. 


She managed to find out the scientist were moving about checking on all the specimen inside their cages. This meant there were probably more in their research facility which they came and left from a seperate room. There must have been a room that held Alerius. Shina had no plan. No idea what to do. If she acted brash she could get herself...or Alerius killed. She thought for a moment. scanning. She reaching into her MOLLE and pulled out her charge port for her spinal ECU. perhaps she could link this into a computer. Log into a security camera. She had never done it before but she was equipped to be able to link into them considering her eyes pretty much were computers and cameras. What if....


Shina thought. there was a large hallway that led away it seemed not to be guarded to heavily as most the forces were inside. She could make it there. She would be able to access a control panel in there. She made her way over and kicked her way out of the air vents back into the hallways. She was still crouched over quiet as could be. The stealth was her specialty but usually not in close quarters same concept but different location. She adapted quickly making her way down the hallway scanning for another control panel Her bioptics finally spotted one by a maintenance closet. She popped it open and looked around without haste. There was no time to lose in this situation. She found one of the plugs and tried plugging it in no dice. then the other, and the next, and thereafter. She was growing with frustration. Furry filling her mind. What the fuck. Finally she pushed the plug into the port with a 


-CLICK-


"yes!!' She though aloud. She plugged into the ECU behind her hairline on her spinal column and begun toying around with her bioptic selections. 


Suddenly her eyes lost sight on the real world. She was inside a camera. It was flicking around scanning the warehouse like room, she mentally changed to another camera. It obeyed her orders. 'Cant believe this is fucking working.' She thought flicking between cameras. But still through all the cameras all she found out was that there was a weapons closet in the control room and 4 heavily armored guards inside. She then tried tapping into the control module from there.


After more fidgeting she discovered that there might be a way to open the cages to the animals with out her ever making a presense but she would have to get to the next control panel. She disconnected.


'Ok now to get to the next panel' She thought. Shina backtracked her movements before taking a peak over the balcony of the hallway that she was on. Being ever so careful to stay in the shadows. 


Shina gasped. her vision zoomed in......It was Alerius. His real face. she could see through the glass which was more than likely bulletproof. He was surrounded. He was being tortured. She couldn't find him in the cells because he wasn't in them. He was in a room labelled "Cargo Unit 03"  They discovered his true identity. 'This isn't good...' She thought. Shina wasnt going to be able to release the animals now. Why would she that would raise suspicion. But she was still unarmed. She might be able to access that control tower if she was able to let the animals out through the control panel but if the idea didn't work she would have to risk getting caught. And even if she did release them there were to many of them for her to take on alone. Shina watched for a moment before seeing him get a bag thrown on his face and getting picked up. They were taking him away again! Shina watched his unconscious limp body get tossed over one mans shoulder as they left the cargo unit 03. she crept away back into the shadows and back into the air system once more. 


"They are taking Alerius away. I think they are transporting him." Shina said into her radio frantically but quietly making her way back. she mapped the route she took in her bioptic system so the HUD would direct her in the right path. She didn't have a choice her plan was a failure. On the way out Shina left a present though by the control panel she logged into for the first time. Shina crossed 2 of the main wires before leaving stuffing a piece of paper and a pulled apart 805 energy cartridge. This would light on fire from the crossed wires touching the paper which would fall and ignite the fuel source from the bullet she left at the base of the control panel and rapidly melt the wiring she had crossed on each other. If her plan worked correctly this would short either the power. The gates to the cages, if she was lucky, or the control rooms. Her plan was in desperate measure but the paper was timing out by now the current would ignite it any second and start melting. She made her way out of the main hallway and slithered out making her way to the floor access shaft.

[SIZE= 18px]T[/SIZE]he lights went out; there were surprised yells and someone with thermal vision could make out figures in the control room making gestures that the systems weren't working. The cameras were out, and the turrets weren't online, the controls to the cages didn't work either, but the manual emergency levers were still available though one had to personally go to each cage now to open them up.


For a moment everyone was blind, even the soldier who was handcuffed to and carrying Alerius, the three other soldiers, and the woman who was with them. They were in the extended hallway, twenty five meters from the central area wondering what was going on and were tense expecting an enemy attack.


There was about six seconds before the soldiers turned on their night or thermal vision. While these were turned on, it was easy to blend in disguised; one of the soldiers guarding Alerius was a female with an assault rifle-sword.

The commotion gave him the opportunity to grab what he wanted to from the armory. But it couldn't be a lot, they'd be suspicious if he comes walking out with an lmg, two assault rifles, and whatever ammo he could carry. Instead he opted to go light. A couple of pistols for him and Panzer, and matching smgs. With those stowed safely in the M.O.L.L.E., he throws as many clips of each in as well and grabs a case of ammo to hopefully fool the guards as he runs out, acting as if he was sent on an errand to get the ammo. "I got presents." he radioed Panzer as he approached the exit of the armory, "Meet me outside the twin buildings when everything dies down and I'll show you what they are. Bring the I.D.s and uniforms. Hell if you could get a cleaning cart to boot that'd be perfect."

"[SIZE= 18px]W[/SIZE]e've got new orders!" Panzer told Connor over the comms. "Seth's just told us to give support to our teammates in basement seven. The others are going to blend in with the first group of Britts heading down there, then they're going to take care of them and seal the entrance." the sound of hasty packing and footsteps could be heard in the background.


"Just lug those with you and go with them!"


It seemed that the soldiers surrounding the twin building were allowing groups of soldiers to enter. Word among the foes was: the Hurricane squad was down there and everyone was given orders to kill them all. The reason given was that they were attempting to assassinate a Russian official and were destroying valuable military property.


Most of the Britts were rearing to take them on for destroying their vitrifying cannon during the Peace Summit war, while the rest were afraid because the squad's reputation was legendary. For one thing they were the only ones who managed to kill a titan all by themselves, then they set a titan loose that destroyed Panzer Ursa's base, then they got the U.S. President to safety from the middle of the Brittannia mothership, they also destroyed a battle cruiser and the cannon, and they captured Marcus. The list was long, not to mention their accomplishments from other side missions, so a lot of the Britts were very tense.


Komodo, Assassin, and Sandai went with the first group. They took the stairs down, jogging at the back of the group.


"Paul, get ready to cut the power on my mark." said Sora's voice in the comms a while later. "The rest of you, you'll have about six seconds before the Britts turn on their thermals or NVGs. ---- All set? Cut it."


(OOC: @Beowulf (feel free to let loose till you get to Artemis and the rest), @Abdel featherfall( If you cannot wait anymore, feel free to escape however you wish until you get down to basement 07)
 
Alerius woke up shortly before the lights went out and got a quick glance at the enemy numbers and placements when suddenly everything went black. The power went out he smiled and suddenly his right arm shot up and wrapped the chain connecting their arms around the mans neck he pulled tighter and used his body to flip them both over onto their backs. Alerius twisted and had the mans head cradled in his hands. -CRUNCH- Alerius snapped his neck in one smooth motion. Grabbed his sidearm and fired in a sweep at the last known enemy locations. He heard at least one soldier hit the ground and another shout in pain before he too hit the ground.


Alerius hoisted the mans body up as a shield and stole his NVG and let it activate. He fired the remaining rounds into the chain connecting them and grabbed the poor bastards Neosteel dagger.  the only one who seemed to realize the shots came from behind was the woman. But by then it was too late, Alerius had already lunged and closed too much of the distance. The Dagger drove into her suit and chest with a sickening crunch, tackling her to the ground.


He doesn't bother with the knife any more and left it embedded in her chest. Instead he took her Rifle sword and fired a round at the poor bastard who was too busy panicking to be a viable threat. The round caught the man in the back and sent him sprawling. Then another round at the injured man.  All hostiles down. He stood and moved to the man who had been carrying him. " You look to be about my size." 


He quickly changed into the mans gear, it was basic but it would help. He took the key to his cuffs from the woman and unlocked it before taking her security access cards and making his way to the lift. He had access to Enemy frequencies and quickly switched to the frequency he heard before he was taken out. So he avoided heavily defended positions. He made his way to the lift.

Shina heard gunshots echo through the facility followed by several more she was almost in the access shaft but turned around. Shina only had a few moments to react her first motion was to get out of the pipes. Then she sprinted toward the supply closet which was a frantic mess along with all the other guards. She flicked on her night optics granting her the ability to have a much easier time in the dark. what was nice was unlike her thermal which used a ton of energy the color deafening effects allowed her to use it much like how other soldiers helmets were with night vision. She was blessed in that way seeing in the dark was never an issue.


Shina made it to the second control panel This time she yanked the wires and hacked through all of them with her bowie knife. She looked for any signs of life and she was still undetected. She managed to slither into the control room. The pulling of the wires didnt seem to release the animals. More so it killed the power. Which was probably a perfect time to create some more havoc. If she was able to get to a weapon and perhaps even a couple shots at the enemy there was a good chance she would be able to help out Alerius a little bit maybe even buy enough time to get help for him. Backup persay.


Shina flew into the weapon closet with ease. She swung open the door quietly as the blaring alarm was still going off and the lights were still killed by now the others would have turned on their thermal sights. Her best bet was to make head shots. Shina grinned. grabbing an SMG and a katana sniper rifle from the locker loading the chamber of the sniper and peering her sights over the glass. Shina lined up her thermal shot for everyones heads. If it hit or not it would help delay them from the battle that was about to take place. Not to mention the assistance they would get from whatever the second control panel did. This probably was going to be power to all exits would get shut off including inside the control tower and exit points. Or it would be the cages. Either way it was going to be a struggle. Shina planted 2 laser claymores behind her to trip anyone in the control room and anyone who tried to blow or kick the door down. By that time though she would be lined up on a shot.


Shina pulled the trigger as the warehouse inside the large building echoed like a cannon went off. Then she lined up her second shot on a larger male soldier before pulling. The semiautomatic sniper was most helpful. Her shots flowed with ease in the dark. No one could see where the fire was coming from. The weapons flash from each shot was almost non existent. This told Shina they didnt fuck around with their long rifles. and more importantly gave her the confidence she needed like the 805 gave her. Shina lined up 2 more shots. The floor roared with life.

"Yes sir!" Vicktor would take a lift down to the basement level and begin supporting the rest of the team. He'd lay down fire on some britannia troops behind boxes. "The big guns are here." Werr heard in the comms


Suddenly the lights cut out and he turned on his thermal goggles. His vision was a mass of reds and blues throught the level. The brits had no idea what was happening, he'd start firing at soldiers behind boxes, shredding the boxes in the meanwhile. He knew it was britannia soldiers due to the fact that they were firing into the darkness and friendlies were marked with green.

Alerius reached up and spoke to his squad on their frequency. " This is Alerius my identity was compromised. Thanks to whoever cut the power I was able to escape. I'm going to rip and tear my way through whatever floor this is and make my way to the objective." 


With that he Continued his trek to the lift. He was marked as friendly for anybody who saw him with their night vision so they didn't know anything was wrong until they were already on the floor with their blood and gore sprawled all around them. He wasn't afraid to take limbs, heads, or even completely disembowel the poor bastards in his way. He picked up a shotgun along the way and slung it across his chest for emergency use. 


" I'm wearing An enemy uniform. Try not to shoot me when you see me." He said as he continued his way toward the lift. He was just leaving carnage in his wake. It wouldn't take long for him to reach the stairs near the lift and begin descending down to basement 07.

[SIZE= 18px]U[/SIZE]pon arrival in basement seven, the battle was hot and raging full throttle. The back up power came on and turrets overridden by Izaya were roaring, raining death upon mechs and soldiers before a missile blew it into shrapnel. All of the squad members except for Panzer, Izaya, and Sora have already arrived and were fighting on the move against about sixty hostiles who were wearing them out and pinned a few of them down. At least all the Brittannia mechs here were destroyed.


"Artemis went ahead with Grizzly to Thanatos' chamber!" yelled Hikaru amidst the noise of gunfire and explosions. "We'll hold these guys off, you go help her!" she told Shina, Alerius, and Vicktor as she ducked behind cover and returned fire to a squad of Brittannia soldiers that appeared from behind a corner. One of them had a pyromancer.


Some places were devoid of lights and some areas had doors that malfunctioned and didn't close or open. There was so much blood that some parts of the floors were slippery with them; bodies lay sprawled against bullet riddles walls and places scorched by flames or the explosions from grenades. Komodo, Sandai, and Assassin had captured a strategic area and were bunkering in and moving from place to place trying to hold the line. They were guarding the entrance to Thanatos chamber. They couldn't go help Artemis because then there would be no one who could hold back the enemy.


"Izaya's not here, so don't let Artemis die. She's the only one who can hack into the dominating device and take control of it." said Hikaru.


"It would be easier to just destroy it!" yelled Komodo.


"We have orders! And if the device is destroyed, when Thanatos wakes up, nothing will be able to control him!"


"Alright, alright, it's just we're dying here!"


"Sora's working on an escape route with Panzer. Hopefully, we'll make it out here alive."



(OOC: @tammynorthland, @Abdel featherfall, @Beowulf, @LordPicklesworth. I change my mind, everyone, let loose until you get to Thanatos lair. Twenty foes will be left. Combat rules will be applied back again the moment you enter the creature's chamber)

​




[SIZE= 18px]T[/SIZE]he entrance to Thanatos' lair was a deep gaping pit aglow with magma at the bottom. There was a lift and a great spiral stair that led all the way down to a vast tunnel. There was a large bridge here that stretched across the river of lava, and it was scorching hot. Falling would mean a painful fiery death.


There were fresh dead bodies here, but none of them were Grizzly or Artemis. The tunnel ended in a vast chamber where there was a giant mechanical contraption at the end of the bridge that stretched down into the middle of the lake of lava, where all around magma spewed from cracks in the walls and vents hissed out gases of sulfur. This center was currently inaccessible because another bridge, a draw bridge, was currently up.


Every now and then fireballs would leapt up suddenly from erupting vents and splash along the bridge that seemed to be made of Neovulcanium and did not melt under the heat so easily.  There was something strange about the lake of lava, the magma was churning, rising and falling, as if it was a breathing ocean. One could guess, that Thanatos was probably sleeping down there and the great machine had something to do with the mind dominating device.


Artemis and Grizzly were there at the side shooting behind cover against two androids and a squad of ten of Brittannia's most elite soldiers. Volkov was at the center ordering three scientists who were hastily managing the machine.


"You are fighting on the wrong side, General! The Brotherhood's aim is to unify mankind!" said Volkov. "Don't you see? As we are right now the factions are not united! All the leaders want is what's best for their faction --- this recolonization race, acquiring lands, establishing territories, building armies, it will eventually lead to war. What we've done is start it when most of the earth is still untouched. This is the path with the most minimal damage to our planet in the long run.


"When one faction finally wins, there will be peace. That is our aim! We've made pacts with the androids to make laws that will protect the earth. This bright future is what you are trying to destroy!"


 "You killed my father!" Artemis yelled back. "Your life is mine!"


"Artemis, I'm lookin' at the bridge. If you ask me, I think fighting our way to the center is hard." said Grizzly. "There are some giant chains holdin' it up, probably made of neovulcanium too so it'd be really difficult to cut, but what if we can get to that control station over there where those soldiers used the controls to lift the draw bridge. We can release the chains, make the center drop into the lava along with the machine. I know our orders were to take control of the device, but we can't do it by ourselves."
 
shina tuned into the frequency she last was on when she spoke to Alerius if she as lucky he would still be on that channel. "I hear you!" She said hearing the statis turn into his voice. The next shot from her rofle fired. She got up and moved quickly in the dark. By now she definitely would have been spotted if she wasnt careful. "If you take the air ducts they should take you to the elavator shaft, Ill be waiting for you but dont be followed. " Shina said before lying down prone for her next  shot. She fired in the dark. But with her night vision she was able to see relatively well. Just like in the mountains, fields, and forest. Just a different setting. Back when she was a new recruit she was an SMG fighter. She dropped the weapon once the last round was spent and made ehr way around the corner to the elavator shaft. The box she destroyed should have done something by now hopefully it was worth it. Allowing Alerius to escape with enough ease that he wouldnt be caught going into the shaft. shina clumbed inside crawling around until she made it to the elavator marking a HUD trail that way Alerius could find his way as well without to much issues. From there it was on to Floor 07

Connor had infiltrated a squad that was ordered to enter through the stair well when the lights were cut. Giving a wicked grin that couldn't be seen in the dark, Connor turned his smg on the poor squad in the close quarters environment. He was positive that he didn't kill all of them, but he did know that they were to shot up to do anything about him and his squad. They couldn't waste a bullet, not when they were cornered like rats in the basement of the enemies HQ. That being said, he doubted that seeing a lone soldier in situations like these wouldn't be shot by one side or another. So he made sure it wasn't his side and peeled of the mask. That done, he sprinted down the halls, stopping only long enough to retrieve an lmg from a soldier and several boxes of ammo for it.


When he saw the Alamo that his allies had set up, he went sprinting for it, shouting all the while "DON'T YOU F**KING SHOOT ME!" Diving behind cover, he looks around to do a quick head count. "We're missing three, where are they?" he shouted over the chaos. While he waited for an answer, he peaked his head around the corner of his cover and saw a candidate for being his frame. Running out, he laid down fire with his lmg and grabbed a strap of the britts armor before beginning to drag him back. He heard a groan from the assumed dead body. That didn't stop him though, because he finished dragging him back to cover and began to strip him of his frame.


"I just saved your life, so don't move and get yourself shot." he told the now captive. "Don't shoot him, he can't do anything and we can save a bullet."


((@Zer0 I figured someone should save those three. If not, tell me and I'll move him into Thanatos' lair.))
 
Shine finally made her way into the shaft. She awaited for alerius and his arrival. Finally he come just like she hoped for. She greeted him with a huge hug. Seeing her comrad alive after such a shitty event really.made her realize how lucky she was to have them in her life. Especially after some of the Warriors they had lost along the way being a part of the Crimson canines. "Alerius. I'm glad you made it....you look fucked up." Shina said trying to hold back tears. She was scared. She didn't think that she was gonna make it. She was the reason he was captured. She had her found smg on her shoulder on its strap hanging from its side. Her body was soaked still from being in the pouring rain up above on the roof top of the twin buildings. Luckily she had been wearing a nanosuit which aided greatly in repelling water and keeping heat inside. She opted for the smartest equipment. This being a good move on her part. She finally released the bear style hug after what felt like eternity. " we gotta move. Everyone is down in the lair. It's only a matter of time before we are found and I'm sure they know where we are heading." Shina said with a tad bit of fear in her voice. 


Shina climbed to the access ladder. Alerts didn't have all his equipment that his canine suit came equipped with and being that he stole the suit of a guard she was hoping that the suit had a repel system of some kind. "Cmon. We gotta long way down."


Shina made her way to the bottom. The shaft felt like it moved forever. They kept having to recover their repel system ropes in order to repel the next hundred yards. Luckily time was still being their assets as they made it to the bottom it maybe around 10 minutes.  Shina made her way through the blood shed. Picking off any straggling enemies as she fought her way through.  She wasn't used to the smg but she quickly adapted to its range and firing feel compared to the heavy kick that the 805 had. She realized it was still on the roof. She wouldn't have time to worry about that for the mean time though. Considering that the mission was to get to thanatos' lair she was lucky she had a weapon at all. She transformed it into its melee for which was a broadsword. Something she was proficient at using but no master by any means. Before making her way into the lair. It was filled with volcanic magma. There was a river below them flowing gently bubbling. It got much hotter but her nanosuit did it's job at holding in a normal tempurture. Still her face begun to sweat. She lost a lot of her gear but still was able to recover 2 plasma grenades from a corpse she stumbled across on the bloody floor back in the basement. The place have the rare ore that was being mined throughout the area. It was riches to still be uncovered. Shina had no idea that there was a place this vast inside and underground the massive buildings. It was insane that they could even stand considering their weight. Shina glanced at alerius. "Keep moving?" She asked before making her way onto the platform of metal.


She begun to hear echos. Not normal echos though. They were much to pronounced compared to traditional machinary or the sound of the magma flowing. No this was voices she heard. She saw figures several yards ahead and heard speaking of a much older man. It was volkov. The leader of the brotherhood. She begun to make out the bodies. Artemis and grizzly. And perhaps they weren't alone?


"When one faction finally wins, there will be peace. That is our aim! We've made pacts with the androids to make laws that will protect the earth. This bright future is what you are trying to destroy!"


 "You killed my father!" Artemis yelled back. "Your life is mine!"


"Artemis, I'm lookin' at the bridge. If you ask me, I think fighting our way to the center is hard." said Grizzly. "There are some giant chains holdin' it up, probably made of neovulcanium too so it'd be really difficult to cut, but what if we can get to that control station over there where those soldiers used the controls to lift the draw bridge. We can release the chains, make the center drop into the lava along with the machine. I know our orders were to take control of the device, but we can't do it by ourselves."


Shina heard as the voices became a convorstation she could hear her raptor vision zooming in on the bodies. It was indeed volkov. Why was he still alive though?how come they didn't fucking take him out. Shina approached quickly and quietly. Being the visible reinforcements they would need. She noted as the took sight of their presense.

Alerius was hugged violently. He was somewhat surprised by the sudden affection and the sudden pain in his hand which was trapped between the two. " Ow ow it's good to see you too! I'm a bit worse for wear.. I only have one hand but I managed to secure a couple weapons." He said as he was put down and the pressure on his hand was released. He didn't have any of the fear he usually used and was down to one hand, he was in bad shape. But he was at least armed and had a sword. 


As as the began to repel he let Shina take care of the rope work as he'd be useless in doing so as things were at the moment. The descent was slow and arduous but they made it in due time. As he stepped out of the elevator shaft he saw exactly what Shina was seeing. He took a moment when there was a Lull in the hail of bullets to slip into the fray and slide into cover next to Artemis and grizzly. 


" Evening you two. Having a lovely date?" He said jokingly as he offered the shotgun to either one of them who would take it. " I'll trade you for a sidearm. I only have one hand At the moment." He said as he stayed ducked down for now.

"[SIZE= 18px]E[/SIZE]h? I already have a girlfriend." said Grizzly, then he realized it was Alerius talking. "Hey! You're here, am I glad to see you! And Shina, man, we really need a sniper, we can't get to the center because the draw bridge is up!"


Beside him Artemis was ignoring everything unrelated to killing Volkov. There was murder in her eyes and she was thinking about what to do. Volkov and the three scientists were doing something with the giant machine in the center and she did not like it. She felt like they were in some kind of count down and if the scientists finish what they were doing, it's just going to get harder.


"Everyone, we're going to lower the draw bridge." she nodded at Grizzly. "Alerius, Shina, this is the plan. We have to circle and fight our way to that control station. The controls for the bridge are there. Once its down, we take the center."



The bridge that led to the control station had barely any cover and the three would be fighting from two fronts: the two androids, Volkov, and four soldiers in the center that they can't reach unless there was some way to cross over a fifty meter gap where underneath was lava, and six soldiers guarding the control station.

When everyone was ready and after Grizzly told Alerius to keep the shotgun and just gave him a pistol from one of the corpses, Grizzly rushed out of cover first while Artemis laid some cover fire.


Enemy gunshots immediately followed. One Brittannia soldier fell screaming down the lake of lava. In the chaos it was uncertain whose bullet felled him, but it didn't matter; before he could reach far, Grizzly was forced to dive behind a meager pillar that barely covered him as the enemy's fire was too hot. Bullets pinged from his armor --- he fired a burst of shots enough to make the enemy soldiers duck and Artemis used the opportunity to sprint up and slide to the next pillar.


Their blood flew as bullets hit them in the side and in the front. Artemis shielded herself with the pillar and her mechanical arm, sparks flying from the ripped metal. The two took turns moving up and laying cover fire. The combat medic's suit was on full healing mode using up five of the ten charges of the integrated rapid bio nanotech recovery in the last ten seconds.

P.S. I couldn't find pictures that accurately depicted my written description, so just rely mainly on the written descriptions.

SHina had one clip left over in the snper after that it was going to be back to an SMG. Shina strapped up the SMG and drew out her rifle and slid out the clip being to covered under hellfire earlier to have a chance to swap it out. Shina hit the clip button before the clip fell out and she slid in her new fresh clip that held another 12 rounds. She had no oppurtunity to miss and this time she had to make her way across to the control bridge. Shina climbed behind cover bullets wizzing past her head left and right. They had no time to fuck around this time. This was for real. Their final fight they had to do. It was to Gain control over Thanatos. And they weren't expecting this to be easy Volkov was definitely making sure of it. Shina threw down into a prone position to gain more cover from the enemies. she lined up her first shot. One gunner who was supplying heavy fire on Artemis. She pulled the trigger after he stood still for the second that allowed her to line up her crosshairs. BOOM. The gun roared to life as the bullet left the chamber and flew down the battlefield. "Artemis, Grizzly keep pushing I have cover fire!" She yelled before lining up the next shot. Her goal should have been to take out Volkov. But first thing was first and they had to get the mind control device from him. She recieved no commands either to take him out. Although it would be the most promising. Shina flew up from cover a bullet slashed her nanoskin as it clipped her body. She flinched before sprinting to cover further up. "Keep PUSHING!" 


@Zer0 @Abdel featherfall
 
"You all stay alive. I'm willing to bet Artemis needs some help." Connor said to the three people after making sure the British soldier was going to do as they were told and stay down. With that, he fired one burst into the corridor before disappearing into Thanatos' lair. And he was met with a blast of heat and another battle raging. "I'm here, what the hell is going on." He didn't need an answer though, as he saw Grizzly, Artemis, and Alerius running down one of the walkways and getting shot at while Shina was providing as much covering fire as a sniper rifle could. 'I'll show her how it's done.' he thought to himself as he pointed his gun in the general direction of first one group of enemies, holding the trigger down long enough to make them duck for cover or risk getting hit, before letting up and pointing it at another group. "F**king A, there's a lot of them."
 
While they were pushing, Vicktor would rush into Thanatos' lair and lay down fire at the enemies. "The big guns are here boss. Glad to see you're all still alive." His machine gun would shred the cover in front of them making it look like swiss cheese.


He felt something slap his side and he'd start to buckle a bit. A steady flow of blood started to flow out of his wound. He'd drop behind cover. He'd apply pressure to his wound, blood still seeping through his fingers. He'd take out his lighter and begin to carefully cauterize the wound. He'd say into the comms, "I'm hit!" And begin wrapping his wound.


@Zer0
 
Alerius stayed put and waited for Artemis and Grizzly to begin their advance before he popped out of cover just enough to set the barrel of the rifle on the cover to stabilize. He switched it to Semi auto and began laying down cover fire. He was of course trying to hit the enemy but he was mainly attempting to get the, to draw their attention away from Artemis and Grizzly.


He carefully timed between each shot so he wasn't just spraying bullets all over, trying to keep a tight grouping on the more threatening of the groups that fired on his comrades. He kept his head low peeking up only enough to see down the sights. " wish I had my revolver right about now.. Could have Gaussed half their fucking group by now.." He muttered to himself.

[SIZE= 18px]T[/SIZE]he combined effort of the squad gave Artemis and Grizzly a break from enemy fire to sprint through the last stretch of distance and dive behind the cover of the walls of the control station; two soldiers collapsed headless from Shina's shots while the rest except for one were riddled with holes from Connor and Vicktor's fire.


This last soldier seemed to be more skilled and shot a hole right through one of Artemis magnum karambits a second before she moved her head away from the bullet's path by chance.


BANG


Connor was hit in the chest with enough force that it knocked the wind out of him. The stopping power felt like it was from a sniper rifle, but his suit's defense held. Normally one would get a cracked rib from this, but it didn't feel that bad, just bruising; The two androids guarding Volkov in the center noticed the danger from the two heavy gunners and Shina and launched off, their four arms mechanically shape-shifting into assault rifles and a heavy machine gun.


A burst fire blew a chunk from Shina's leg, tripping her --- the sniper rifle clattered to the floor sliding about to fall off the bridge and was seconds away from falling into the lake of lava; the second android shot sprayed bullets at Connor, Alerius, and Vicktor. It missed the first two, but a part of Vicktor's helmet was shattered. He could smell the poisonous sulfur fumes. The L.B.S. suit began automatically filtering out poisonous gases, it was good for now but one more shot like that to the head and he wouldn't be able to resist the volcanic gases.


"If you have a sniper rifle, Shina, incapacitate Volkov and the scientists, but don't kill them. They're more useful to us alive." said Sora's voice calmly through the comms.


"Shina, disobey that order, kill Volkov!" said Artemis angrily. She and Grizzly blew the locked door of the control station and the sniper on the second floor of the station who hit Connor, pulled out a grenade. He was about to throw it into the first floor where the two had just activated the controls to the draw bridge.


The bridge lowered. The squad can now make their way to the center now where four soldiers guarded Volkov and the three scientists were hastily doing whatever it was with the machine that suddenly turned on.


A metal whirring reverberated around the chamber as the lower part of the machine that extended into the lake of lava descended with a hot splash. Something huge inside the lava lake stirred, causing the surrounding volcanic vents to hiss and steam throwing lava and flaming balls of fire on to the bridge where the squad was battling.

Once all of the rounds in his Rifle had been exhausted he fell back behind cover entirely and disassembled the rifle taking only the sword component with him. Fixing it in his belt he took his pistol out and peeked out of cover. He waited for a break in the fire to rush the bridge." Cover me I'm going in!" He'd weave, dashing around this way and that making a really tough target to hit. But he wasn't all that hindered in his shots. He fired four times, one round for each guard before he slid into the nearest bit  of cover, utilizing the thick chains to keep him obscured. 


He had thirteen rounds In the pistol when he got it. Now down to Nine, he had extra ammo for it in his stolen suit but that was going to be a pain in the ass to reload. So he decided to try to make his shots count. Using his maneuverability and ability with handguns to the best of his ability. he doubted all four rounds hit but he hoped at least one or even two did.


@Zer0 @tammynorthland @LordPicklesworth @Beowulf
 
Connor was not braced for the sudden shot to the chest, and so was knocked over as well as getting the wind knocked out of him. He fell like a tree, not trying to cushion his fall at all, and landed face up on the hanging platform, gasping for breath. But he couldn't just lay there, the androids were flying their way, of course they could fly, and had a lot of fire power pointed in his general direction. Looking around, he sees the massive chunk blown out of Shina's leg and her lack of fire power. "God damn it." he muttered, getting his breath back and breaking from cover. Firing bursts wildly at the two androids, hoping that the sniper wasn't looking at him, he ran out to Shina, grabbing her with one hand and dragging her back to cover. "Don't you die on me now, not after I just risked getting shot by a sniper, again." he told her, looking at the bleeding leg. "Viktor! Got I need some wraps over here!" he shouted at his fellow heavy gunner. He was using the same tone of voice that he had used when he was at Scarred Mesa Skydocks, ordering his Tungsten Wolves around. He had apparently grown used to his position of power.


"We don't have a god damn sniper rifle. But I'll gladly shoot at Volkov, since you insist." Volkov, that bastard was the one responsible for the death of his mother. This would be the easy way out for him, if he died here, but it would be better then nothing. So Connor, ignoring the risk of being shot by the androids and sniper, set his sights on the two scientists and Volkov, pulled the trigger, and gave the area a good hosing until he was either shot or ran out of ammo in the box. Whichever came first, really.
 
Shina screamed in agony as the bullet hit her thigh. She screamed collapsing to the ground dropping the rifle. Shina glanced own at the wound and then the rifle. It was leaning over the edge just out of her grip from falling into the lava that lied below them. The girl was screaming as she was pulled back by Conner. She begun to calm down and glanced down at the wound while the others gave her medical attention. Upon getting dragged she managed to grab the harness that the rifle was clipped to dragging it behind her. She lost the scope as it clacked on the ground She managed to get the rifle though and that was something. She was still armed with her SMG but with the cover fire she was supporting before taking a hard shot to the thigh she simply couldnt afford to lose it especially considering her movement might be fucked for the rest of the mission until she died or got out somehow. The way that this was going it didnt seem like a winning fight. She begun recieving medical attention as she quickly realized that the bleeding wasnt profuse. Which was a good thing. In fact Shina looked at the wound once she was able to as the others were helping her out. She investigated the entry and realized that the bullet was not all the way through. The armor did its job. Shina bit into her lip as she withdrew her knife from her MOLLE. "I Need this fucking bullet out NOW!" She told Conner. 


With that being said Shina held her breathe and dug into it trying to hold back her screams of bloody murder. It was bad enough to make her want to pass out. She had no time to stop now. She took the knife a bit deeper feeling the weight of the bullet push against her muscle and the blade swiftly cutting through it as she suffered the grueling pain that made her almost throw up. The pain grew in intensity and Shina was about to tear through her lip with blood trickling down as it was inside her suit. Finally Shina was able to get a finger onto the tip of the bullet before carefully prying it out of her body. her body begun to bleed more as the bullet fell onto the ground followed by her leaning back dropping the knife as it clacked onto the ground. She fought unconsiousness. Eyes rolling into the back of her head before she shook it off. The others helping her out. SHe leaned over as the wound got burned closed with her yelping out in pain before whispering to Conner. "Thank you..." She rolled over and begun to regrip her bearings. She heard Artemis call out. She wanted Volkov dead. Probably her more than anyone. Her family was killed by his hands. Shina wasnt going to let her down. Shina lost the scope on the battle field but as she crawled to a sight point behind the steel cover she glanced down the iron sight. THe mission was to kill or injure. With her accuracy fucked up she most likely would have to injure. She reached and took off the SMG ACOG mount and attached it to the long rifle before aiming down battle field. Shina caught sight of Volkov. "He was about 80 yards from the steel of her bullet. She could do this. Shina used her Raptor Vision to help her out thanks to the blessing and the curse of her Bioptics that she had She aimed for the chest. THe largest highest possibility to make direct contact from this distance. Shina grunted as the pain from the burn wound ached and she had a very shallow breathing. The shot begun to line up. She held her breathe, feeling the weight of her finger begin to shove the trigger down into firing the next shot. She felt it click almost in slow motion. The firing pin clacked against the primer. Igniting the explosives before the barrel flashed. The round exited the barrel feeling slower than ever. And made its way toward Volkov.

[SIZE= 18px]S[/SIZE]hina's bullet hit the chest, but it didn't go through Volkov's armor, but just like Connor it knocked the wind out of the middle-aged man and he didn't get up again; an android saw this and retaliated by shooting Shina in the head. The bullet shattered her suit's helmet and shot one of her ears off. She could smell the poisonous fumes from the underground volcano now.


At the bridge to the center Alerius shots struck three of the four soldiers, but it didn't kill them, and neither did their shots hit him as he bobbed and weaved through the enemy's return fire; one of them threw a flashbang then came out of cover swinging a sword down behind him.


"Grenade!" yelled Grizzly amidst the roaring guns.


BOOM


An explosion rocked the control station. There was so much noise, the battle was so intense. The last soldier who was on the second floor had thrown a cooked grenade down at Artemis and Grizzly and when the dust cleared Grizzly was on the floor, unmoving, the back of his suit burned and shredded, while Artemis --- who was cursing angrily about killing one of her best friends --- exchanged bullets with the soldier who collapsed dead on the stairs a split second later.


All this was going on while Connor's machine gun roared in the background. Two scientists and a soldier were shredded under his onslaught before an android rained a hail of bullets on him. The heavy gunner's titan frame had never received so much damage. Yet still he was alive just like that Tungsten Wolf soldier that could stand up to heavy fire. The android seemed to understand that only high powered explosives was going to get this guy and its arms shape-shifted into a rocket launcher. It aimed it at his head and fired, smoke trailing behind the whizzing rocket.


And yet the mind dominating machine in the center wasn't stopping. It seemed that before he was knocked out, Volkov succeeded in what he was doing.


Slowly, the earth shook and the underground ceiling cracked and caved in. The lava churned and next thing they knew their entire world was flung upwards in a boom of smoke, lava, falling debris, and a roar . . . a loud terrible unearthly roar. It was the wrath of a god. 


All Artemis could do was hold on for dear life and Grizzly's body as the entire bridge was snagged by the horn of the wakened giant as it rose from the depths of the earth. All the squad could see, smell, and feel was smoke and burning lava eating through their suits before they felt the sensation of falling. The entire bridge was flung into the sky where it twisted and began to fall forty-five thousand meters down into the ground where the entire Brittannia military base was in chaos.


There were flying mechs scattering and hovercrafts being blown away by the force of the waking Thanatos.
