[hr] [color=e38c2d]”WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!”[/color] [color=0072bc]”Get back!”[/color] Racheli’s eyes hardened, her attention snapped to Hound Dog. Quickly her mask’s demonic features twisted into worry as she shoved past the hero. Her figure flew down the tunnel with a snappish demand in her wake, [color=indianred] “Come On!”[/color] Red light flooded the control room when a machine’s voice rang out. It spurred her feet to run faster, trying to eat up the distance. [color=red]”UNKNOWN BIOLOGICAL SUBJECT IN THE CONTROL ROOM. LOCKDOWN IN EFFECT.”[/color] Abruptly a thick, titanium door dropped into her path. Her feet skidded to a stop before she collided into it, her vision promptly sought somewhere to get a solid grip. The door appeared completely smooth. Racheli cursed out loud and tossed a punch at it. She hoped to dent it, but the metal resisted her force. It would take her several minutes to get through. Enraged by this fact, Rach’s hand fisted tighter then punched again at the same place. More surface gave, centimeter by centimeter, to her temper. [color=indianred] “FLETCH! ROADBLOCK! WHAT’S HAPPENING?”[/color] Racheli tried to shout through the door. When the other door shut, her head shot over her shoulder to see Hound Dog had followed her inside. Now they were both trapped in what appeared to be a glass wall hallway. Taking a break from her fruitless punching, she stepped back from the door. [color=indianred] “Do you got anything to bust through this door?’[/color] She asked bluntly. Hound Dog knew that if the door didn't buckled at a punch a force that had quite the impact it was unlikely that he himself could break it any faster.[color=fff200]”Course I dos. But that's some serious chrome plating. Even with my railgun it will take more than a few hits.”[/Color] Pulling back his arm he whipped out a disk and as lightning crackled and discharged the load and with a boom the door barely gave way as scorch marks plastered the surface and only a singular indentation was visible when the cloud of particulates cleared. [color=fff200]”I think we'll need a bit of time. A couple shots and some force perhaps and we can clear this containment lockdown.”[/Color] Racheli had been about to answer when muffled gunshots caught her attention. She gritted her teeth, then kicked the nearest glass wall. Cracks spiderwebbed from the impact, but it appeared to be minor damage. [color=indianred] “I don’t think we have time! Can you make some sort of hand hold so I can lift the damn thing up myself?”[/color] Her frustration and temper was getting the better of her. Even as she knew it, she tried to tame it and fell short of accomplishing it. [color=fff200]”Might wanna stand back a bit. This is where things get heated.”[/Color] Flipping out a couple of coins Hound Dog snatched them and readied one as he held the others in a position to fire them off rapidly. [color=fff200]”Well allow me to get the door M’lady.”[/Color] Firing off the first round with a flash of light and a burst of searing heat the coins smashed into the dent caused it to grow slightly larger as metallic dust settled to the floor, with each subsequent shot increasing the diameter little by little. And after a few more shots perhaps it would be enough. Racheli couldn’t help but shake her head at the mention of M’lady,[color=indianred] “You know something, you’re blinder than a bat.”[/color] Trusting him, she decided to move toward the other side of the tunnel. Hopefully clear of anything he decided to do or at least give her enough of a reaction time. Curious at what Hound intended to do, her eyes closed a moment and her mind focused on her vision. Her irises became dark for a moment then lightened back to her original color. She crossed over her arms in front of her chest while she waited for him to do something. She frowned at the coins being pulled from his pocket. Unsure what was going on, she was about ask something then found her mouth pop shut. Her eyes widened in surprise as the coins shot off his fingers into the dent at blinding speeds. If not for her bird of prey eyesight, it would’ve appeared like the coins had vanished completely. Small, metallic traces floated in the air before they glided to the floor. [color=indianred] “Alright, that was neat. However, be careful with the heat… It doesn’t mix well with me.”[/color] Racheli popped off. [color=fff200]”Don’t mix well with me either. I sweat buckets after this. Do youse know how much moisturizing lotion I need, I perpetually smell like coconut and fried bacon.”[/Color] [color=indianred] “Yeah, I rather not become useless during this job…”[/color] She mumbled grumpily. The woman began to move back to the door when a sound caught her ears. A whirring and grinding sound started up, shifting to either side of the walls. Through the glass two small lights glowed then shot across to connect at the center. A humming echoed through the small space. It shot forward causing Racheli to slam hard into the floor, narrowly avoiding it slicing her in half. [color=indianred] “Watch out!”[/color] She screamed toward her ally. It had definitely caught Hound Dog off guard even though he could see something powering up he had never expected a laser defense system. Snapping into action he done for the wall and kicked off just in time to avoid the beam as he landed in front of Nemesis. [color=fff200]”Okay new game plan they turned up the heat with some added difficulty. What's our plan?”[/Color] [color=indianred] “Shutting it down would be the goal, but how the hell to do that is beyond me,”[/color] Racheli watched the laser split then vanish a moment. The laser reappeared as it darted back for them. Her gut stirred again, giving the impression this wasn’t that simple and rose up to her feet. [color=indianred] “I think that thing is learning,”[/color] Just as Rach spoke, the laser slit into two separate beams. One end of each laser lifted onto the ceiling while the other fell to the floor, creating a X across the hallway. Examining everything at his disposal Sinclair knew that Nemesis had some power behind her punches spying the minor damage to the glass he had a basic plan. [color=fff200]”Alright. Plan time.”[/Color] Hound Dog said as he dodged the next laser wave. [color=fff200]”I'm going to fry the wall like a Christmas turkey but I need a hole in the glass. Let's not test just how many limbs you can regenerate.”[/Color] Racheli rushed to the tunnel’s other side as the beams advanced on her. She was stopped by the locked door, realizing she had trapped herself and cursed loudly. [color=indianred] “Fuck...fuck!”[/color] She paced back then forward, seeming to debate on her next move. Her magnetic abilities were still unsharpened save for tossing or pulling metal to her. Finding no way out, Rach held her breath then bolted for the door’s surface. Her right boot magnetized on the surface while she scaled up it. At the peak, she kicked off. Her figure thinned while she backflipped through the top hole. Racheli immediately landed on her ass afterwards. The scent of burnt leather wafted in her nose as she noticed her soles were scorched. She had gotten damn lucky it didn’t severe the leg or she wasn’t regenerating it. Hearing Hound’s comment snapped her out of her shock. [color=indianred] “Why not, I love feeling excruciating pain,”[/color] Heavy sarcasm came from her lips. Not washing time, she jerked up on her feet. It wouldn’t take the lasers long to redirect themselves and she didn’t want to see how close she could cut it this time. Having a rough time finding traction with her damaged boot, Rach managed to stop right at the damaged glass. Her foot kicked out at the already cracked spot. The laser was already coming back for a third round. This time the beams advanced before they spread out into a net pattern with the intention to fully wipe out the intruders locked in its dangerous lair. Feeling the pressure, Rach kicked out with all her strength. Frustration and panic over Fletch’s screams urged her onward. Once… twice… thrice. Finally the glass gave away. Seeing a small hole suitable for Hound’s arm to fit, she stepped back shouting,[color=indianred] “Go, Go, Go!”[/color] Barely sliding right underneath Nemesis so much so that her heel licked Sinclair's back as his arm touched the wall and sent a voltage strong enough to send power surges throughout the entire base. The lasers flickered and simply ceased. [color=fff200]”Bout time. I could feel hell on my heels. I'm just gonna sit for a bit. And let you handle the door.”[/Color] [color=indianred] “Right…”[/color] Racheli then turned to the door. Her fingers found and gripped the hand holds that were created. Her legs widened for balance while her muscles tensed, her body used her knees to lift the heavy door. It screeched in protest, but refused to give. Racheli gritted her teeth in anger. She was going to move this damn door, with or without its cooperation. Adjusting her grip, the woman growled then pulled once more. This time...the door gave away. It shot up quickly causing Rach to fall backwards and on her ass, giving a loud grunt when she landed. It was obvious she wasn’t the only reason the door opened up.
