Miranda, Katalina, and Mythri
Charles just took a step back, waiting to see what the three of them would do in their situation. He knew the ins and outs of the place they were seeing, Miranda slightly did too, but she was more focused on other things. The main one being keeping up the illusion. Her holograms were taking away from her concentration somewhat, but she was still alert and ready, mostly. Looking to the others, she said nothing as she started heading down the hallway slowly, hoping the other two would come up with some better plan.
Katalina looked at Charles as the illusion suddenly formed, which she was quiet surprised to see how amazingly detailed it was, looking at Miranda and smiled towards her. "This looks really amazing." Kat said towards her as she looked down the hallway seeing two ways that they could go, while looking at Mythri as well, then at Miranda, before quickly catching up to Miranda. "So where are we going exactly?" She asked hoping that she knew the way as well.
Mythri had to admit she was impressed by the illusions in front of her. If this was how they could train, without having actual pencils and sharp implements being thrown at her face, she would be happy. She set forward following behind the others. Perhaps she should be in front? In case she needed to shield them? Still, she felt uneasy during this. She shrugged at Katalina. She had no idea how to proceed from here.
"I do know for the most part how to reach the stairs... But there might be a few things in between us, and the stairway... Should warn you, my powers as I said before are not the best for combat... And I'm going to be more focused on keeping the building or whatever is attacking us solid right now..." Miranda said, and right then a door opened down the hallway, and out came several real looking people, with guns, and they instantly opened fire on the group. There were 7 people in all, 2 bullets went to Mythri and Miranda, while 3 were heading straight for Katalina. Miranda managed to avoid one of the bullets, but one hit her in the leg, and even though there was no actual injury, she felt a slight pain in her leg for a second as the other bullet went right through her leg and disappeared.
Katalina nodded slightly as she continued to walk down the hallway until she could hear a door opening, and saw several armed men with guns. They looked very real actually to her as they suddenly opened fire on the three of them, Kat took a deep breath as she used her agility, as soon as it activated she quickly dodged the first two bullets. The second she dodged the second bullet, Kat froze the moment she felt a sharp pain in the center of her chest. Looking down at where she had been shot, the pain was gone rather quickly, while looking over at Miranda and Mythri. "We need to get to cover or something." Kat said calmly, if this was real she'd actually be dead.
Mythri followed as the armed men entered and started shooting. She didn't even think before she tried to summon a shield. She was too late at first, feeling a bullet hit her arm. She felt that pain, but it was quickly diminished. She wondered if that was part of the simulation. Feeling pain at first and then taking it away. She managed to hold up a shield the second time though, holding it as bullets it. "May want to do something about them now then."
"Like what? I'd probably recommend Katalina charging at them, since she's got those reflexes things, maybe try to take the guns away? Or you could see about using force fields to try and get the guns away from them..." Miranda said with a slight shrug, as the men fired another round of bullets at them, this time only 2 to each of them. Miranda managed to dodge one, but felt a sharp pain in her stomach that went away quickly again.
Katalina looked over towards Miranda and then the armed men as they continued to fire at them seeing one hit Miranda once more, biting her bottom lip for a moment and nodded. "I'm on it." She said as Kat got up, using her ability once more and made a beeline straight to the men, managing to snag two of the guns and threw them aside. While feeling several sharp pains go through her again as she was shot at as the pain quickly went away again.
Once she saw Katalina miss the rest of the guns, Mythri took her shield down. She knew it would open her up, but she had to try. She summoned another shield around the remaining guns and pulled. They managed to get some shots off, but she got the rest of the guns and pulled them towards her. She quickly grabbed one of the guns and aimed it at the soldiers. "I don't want to see any of you reach for those guns or any other weapons or I unleash hell back at you."
In response, the men stood down, not going for the weapons. "Well... Looked like that worked, at least somewhat... We should get going," she said, looking at the men before she walked past them, heading down the hallway. Listening as she passed by a few doors, making sure that hopefully they weren't going to come across anyone else right away. She knew where all of the baddies in the place were, but she was acting like she didn't, since in reality if they had to sneak in some place, she probably wouldn't know anything.
Katalina watched as Myrthi managed to yank out the remaining guns out of the armed men's hands which made Kat start to relax somewhat as she nodded towards the two other women. She turned around and started to follow alongside Miranda as they headed down another hallway, she didn't stop to check the doors they probably would lead to deadends anyway as well.
Mythri walked over, still pointing the guns at the men. "If I see any of you follow us I will not hesitate to shoot you. If you were smart, you'd leave and not come back." Mythri then followed the other two girls down the hallway, but she kept looking back in case they were followed.
As Miranda led the way, she stopped for a moment, listening. The other two could hear it too. There were footsteps heading down the hallway, somewhat close by to them. She glanced around, but there weren't any doors near them, or corners that they could hide behind. There wasn't any place for them to really hide. "...Well, this time we should be able to take them by surprise as opposed to the other way around..." she muttered as the footsteps got closer.
"I'll try and catch them by surprise." Katalina said, before quickly using her agility to run forward, she didn't get very far at all before tripping over her own two feet. Which was probably very embarrassing as she landed on her stomach, as she groaned to herself rolling over onto her side as she could hear the footsteps getting closer and faster now.
Mythri still had the gun in her hands as she crept near the both of them. She facepalmed when Kat fell to the ground. She held up the gun to wait for the mysterious footsteps to get near. Worse came to worse, she would use her shield to help Kat and them. Either way, it was better to surprise them, for all they knew (though she seriously doubted it), they could be friendly.
Miranda rolled her eyes, seeing Katalina fall to the ground like that. Well, guess that was one way for them to make it obvious that they were there, and to alert them to their presence. If only things would go their way for once, but clearly not. Miranda edged out of the way of the other two, and this time, the men weren't shooting on them quite yet, giving them at least some sort of opportunity to strike first. Almost as if they had gotten them by surprised, but guess it was to test out different scenarios or whatever.
Feeling quiet embarrassed after falling in front of everyone Kat sighed slightly as she stood up and dusted herself off, round two would work better. "Round two then I guess." Katalina said before running forward again and turned around the corner, and quickly went forward and punched two of he men in the back of the head. When they both opened fire again Kat watched as they missed her, and quickly fell back around the corner.
Mythri followed Kat and, once the girl was safely back behind the corner, Mythri summoned a force field that blocked the oncoming bullets. She then pushed the field forward, knocking into the guys and making them fall to the floor. Satisfied, Mythri swept around the corner as she noticed they were standing back up again. "Quick, someone stop them."
Despite only being half-focused on something, Miranda wanted to feel like she was being more than a guide through this whole thing, since odds were that she wasn't actually going to be able to do that. She raced over to the people, and kicked one in the face before she punched the other, knocking them out. "So, let's get going then shall we?" she then said, "We're almost to the exit..." She started walking down the hallway, though her hand hurt slightly, she wasn't used to punching anything, and that kind of hurt. They luckily didn't run into anymore people, though she knew that in the simulation that she created it could have sent up to 20 people at a time at them, they had lucked out somewhat, but still. Lower numbers gave them more of a chance and taught them how to deal with anything that came in their way. "Here we are," she said, opening a door that was the stairway back to the main floor and she walked up it, the illusion behind them disappeared as she did. Charles was at the top of the staircase, waiting for them.
Katalina turned around to watch as Mythri went in and used her powers against the armed men, seeing them get knocked onto the floor made her smirk slightly seeing it happen. As she started to move forward when Miranda came forward and took out the remaining two people, she gave her a satisfied nod before moving forward. And eventually they made it through a door where Xavier was already standing there waiting for them, Kat turned to look at the other two ladies. "Looks like we did pretty well right?" Katalina asked, even though they were all shot at some point luckily it wasn't really real.
While Mythri wouldn't call what they did "really well", they had managed to find the exit and not sustain major injuries, though that was probably due to the nature of this program. If this were real, they would have bullet wounds in them in need of fixing, perhaps even death. No, they were far from "pretty well". Mythril followed the girls outside and exited. "No, actually. I think we did bad. It could have been worse, sure, but if this were a real scenario, we'd have all been shot and either killed or taken. This just confirmed we need more practice if we even have a smidge of hope in attacking this facility."
