Ashton quickly had followed suit after Duncan, but he took care of the guard well enough. The guard was dead, yet it did not surprise the sniper SeeD member. Minerva managed to knock the other guard out so in the end they managed to get away fairly unscathed. The allied guard however, seemed to be on high level nerves and fear. Most likely after having to witness in person what a SeeD was capable of. There were many horror stories, rumors, tales to even scare children to bed... She felt a little bad for him. Honestly, she couldn't imagine how regular soldier's were trained. She was training to be a SeeD since she was just a child. Despite his apparent fear, she considered him quite brave for going through this in the first place. So in a effort to make him feel a little better, the beanstalk of a woman patted his back. It was then a radio message was apparently received, Duncan taking it before a force rattled the building. Knocking them off their feet.

The tall woman face planted, before getting back up again, rubbing her face a bit before listening to Duncan. Apparently, there was a rescue team out for them. And it seemed to be the loud kind. So in this situation, Duncan was quite correct. Going stealthy now would be pointless, so they would be forced to go loud and fierce now that the whole building was up in alarm. It was still a comforting feeling knowing they were being rescued.

Duncan instructed them the plan before instructing them to move out, which Ashton nodded to. She quickly picked up one of the downed soldier's SMG's before quickly following after. They were at least close to the armory now. She could hear many footsteps and she instantly raised her gun foreword. The second she spotted a soldier at the end of the hall and gave a brief examination as he glanced toward them and started to raise his weapon, she fired three times passed her two comrades in front of her. The soldier's head snapped backward as the bullets hit against his forehead, the nose, and the mouth area and fell to the ground. Ashton clicked her tongue as she looked at her weapon mildly irritably. Reminding her she missed her sniper rifle. Other guns took a little more bullets to get through and were more unsteady.

Continuing on, they soon reached the armory and Ashton quickly moved in and searched around. Smiling brightly as she found a chest full of her belonging's. Clothes, armor and her beloved sniper rifle, Levi. Quickly, she removed the tattered soldier coat, uncaring now of showing her bare lanky body and she changed into her regular clothing. Enjoying the baggy looking wear and her warm coat. Picking up her sniper rifle, she one armed it and rested it on her shoulders before looking to the others to see if they were ready to head to the control room.
