Scarlet continued to investigate the bomb. She listened as Amanda spoke to her in regards to that nasty landmine, and nodded with a soft smile. [color=ff2020]"You got it boss."[/color] She turned to the mine, and looked ahead of her, seeing a tripwire just two meters ahead. [color=ff2020]"Hmph. I would suggest leveling the building with any kind of ordnance we have on hand, but then again, uh... you know. ROE."[/color] Scarlet relented. [color=ff2020]"Oh well. A contract's a contract."[/color] She went to work, taking out small pieces of plastic explosive from her tactical bag of holding. [color=ff2020]"Everything's better with a bit of C4~♫"[/color] Scarlet sang to herself as she assembled her explosive. A little blasting cap there, and some remote fuses here, and viola! An ugly clay sculpture was formed around the mine. [color=ff2020]"I think this goes without saying, but we're gonna have to go outside when we blow this thing up. It might trigger a few of the other traps in the building and ruin the walls, but-"[/color]

[b]POP! POP-POP-POP! POP![/b]

Scarlet stopped herself, freezing. The sounds of gunfire echoed to their building. She heard Amanda curse, as well as the spells being cast in the distance. Scarlet twisted 180 and stood up, bringing her rifle back to shoulder. Once Amanda recalled her and gave her orders, Scarlet simply nodded. [color=ff2020]"You got it, boss. I got a [url=https://images2.imgbox.com/0c/95/oXtpiMiw_o.jpg]light fifty[/url] at my disposal, so just give me a shout if you need sniper support."[/color] Before she could finish her sentence, Amanda was already running out the door. Scarlet turned to Micheal and his gods, and nodded to him. [color=ff2020]"I remember what you said earlier, which is why I came to your aid. If you and your friends here have any support capacity, by all means use it. Any little thing could mean the difference between life and death. But whatever you do, keep your distance, use the thickest cover possible, and [i]stay down.[/i]"[/color] She said with a little more intensity than she intended. She looked at her AUG and checked the safety. Confirming that the fire selector was on semi-automatic fire mode, she nodded to herself. She turned back to Michael and gestured to the landmine just six inches behind her. [color=ff2020]"I'll blow this up later. When you come out, give me a shout. I'll cover you. Good luck."[/color] She patted Micheal on his shoulder before sprinting out the door and out into the green yonder.

Immediately seeing the large number of bikers and their various assortment of weapons on hand, Scarlet got a good glimpse of them as she sprinted to cover. Standard leather outfits, big mean-looking people of different races and genders, a wide variety of scary looking weapons and gear, and somewhat undisciplined tactics. Taking cover behind the thickest tree she could see, she managed to get a good look at the situation. Looks like the beginning of a standard short-range firefight between a large well-armed gang and a small group of well-trained agents, but given that Scarlet was facing them at a different angle and is about 150 meters away, a defensive victory could be feasible for the good guys. However, one of the hostiles closest to them just got chopped in half by Amanda? [color=ff2020][i]What the fuck...[/i][/color] It took Scarlet a while to get used to the fact that Amanda was a robot of all things, but one weilding an axe? She felt like she just walked into one of those strange [i]animes[/i] that she sees from time to time. Except that this is [i]real[/i], and that her allies are in [i]danger.[/i] And that she needs to do something [i]now.[/i]

Scarlet looked around her. If she started shooting now, she'll no doubt draw a lot of their fire. She made sure her position wouldn't put anyone near her at risk, and given that the house she just came from was a good distance from the tree she stood behind and was surrounded by a lot of foliage, she knew that Michael and his friends could still get out safely even if she started firing now. She crouched, raised her rifle, and took aim down the scope. A biker with a Krinkov was firing on her allies at full auto, but couldn't aim for shit since the stock was still folded. But given the caliber of the weapon, it still posed a dangerous threat. 7.62x39mm would do serious damage to unarmored targets. Scarlet didn't recall seeing any of her allies wearing any armor. The choice was obvious. Just three seconds after she took aim, she squeezed the trigger.

[b]POW-POW![/b]

The Krinkov wielding biker fell. Two clouds of blood exploded from his back as his carbine went skyward, still firing for just a second before his dead hand relinquished it. A few of the bikers stopped firing for a moment. Scarlet took aim at another one.

[b]POW![/b]

A scorching hot hollow-point 5.56mm NATO round found its way inside the head of a biker wielding a machine pistol, and exited her skull just as quickly as it came. The woman fell immediately and spasmed a little, her corpse concealing some other bits of her that came out. A good portion of the bikers immediately shifted their focus to Scarlet, and started firing at her. Scarlet immediately took cover, bits of bark and dirt exploding around her as the bikers fired at her. Thankfully, they still can't hit anything worth a damn, especially at this range.

[color=ff2020]"HAH! Is that the best you fuckin' got!?"[/color] Scarlet shouted at them, chuckling a little as they continued to fire at her. [color=ff2020]"Even Stormtroopers have better aim than you! You could at least [i]try[/i] to hit me! Idiots!"[/color] Scarlet chuckled, switching her weapon to full-auto before popping out. She took aim at an orc that was charging at her position with a shotgun. [b]POPPOPPOW![/b] A three round burst of hollow points to the chest was all it took to make him fall. Scarlet took cover again once the gunfire towards her intensified. Scarlet was just about to pull out her radio before she realized that she didn't get communications sorted out with the rest of the agents yet. [color=ff2020]"Shit!"[/color] Now she can't tell her allies that she's drawn quite a bit of their fire, so they are safe to move and cast spells. Well, at least she took out three of them. Three out of who knows how many. It slowly dawned on her that there was an unknown number of enemy hostiles that were firing at her position, and she was now pinned down by their gunfire.

[color=ff2020]"Well fuck."[/color] Scarlet sighed heavily. Despite the lack of good cover, this is still leagues better than fighting Serbian paramilitaries. Hopefully, the other agents will see the opening that Scarlet and Amanda are presently providing, and that the enemy is currently wide open for a variety of attacks.
