OOC: Actually, I think we only need to rip off MGS until we escape...but whatever.

BIC: Wolf texts Wraith and Jade.

"They'll be tracing that call if they don't buy it, keep moving."

Wolf grabs his confiscated radio and imitates the other guard's voice. "Yeah, I thought I heard something but it turned out to be one of the computers. I went to turn it off, and I didn't see the chair. Why the hell are there chairs in this room anyway? Nobody works here."

"Sorry for the inturruption. Keep up the good work." The voice came out the other end.

That's when the other radio turned on, the one from the downed gaurd from downstairs. "Report. What is your status?"

OOC: G'ah sorry about not posting, I was getting my other rp up.

BIC: Jade was trying to move as stealthily as possible while ignoring the severe pain in her leg. She hears the other radio go off and grabs it. She thrusts it at Wolf. "I'm a girl, they'll see right through my voice. You talk while I hack into their communications grid and make a looped recording of an all clear report. Everytime we down a guard and the radio goes off, I'll just use that and it'll sound like a real guard." She sat down under her box and began to work. It wasn't a particularly complex system, but she wanted to be careful about covering her tracks. While she was deleting some code, she stumbled across some interesting info. Hmmm....security codes, I'll keep these for later When she finished, she signaled Wolf and Wraith.

Just before Wolf got Jade's signal he heard the Guard Commander asking one of the downed guards for a status report.

"Everything's fine, situation normal." he said into his confiscated radio.

"Are you sure? You are late with you're status report."

"Uh, I was dealing with a slight weapons malfunction, but everything's fine now. How are you?"

"Something doesn't sound right, I'm sending an attack squad to investigate."

"Uh..." Wolf stammered. "Negative, we have toxic gas leaking from the security systems, I have to lock down the area. Do not approach."

"Who is this?!" the commander demanded. "What is your service number."

Wolf shot the radio with his .45

Boring conversation anyway.

"Jade, you're too late! We're gonna have company!" Wolf scrambled under a desk, drew his other .45, and armed it

Things are about to go from bad to worse.

OOC: Yes, I ripped off Star Wars. And yes, this seems odd, but MC43 ran an idea by me and I'm setting things up for him.

"Dammit."

Wraith quickly tosses his box off and flips over a desk, then kneels down behind it and readies any and all weapons he has...this includes a few knives, a pistol, and a confiscated submachine gun. Finally he puts his knives back and arms his guns; pistol in his left and held up, submachine gun in his right and aimed at the door.

"Why does nothing go our way?" Jade said to no one in particular as she sat behind another table and reloaded her automatic rifle. She then tore off some of her shirt that was over her tank top and wrapped her leg. She was beginning to feel light headed from the blood loss, but she shook her head and toughed it out."She aimed at the door as she turned to Wolf. "If we don't make it through this, it was nice knowing you."She then turned to Wraith. "Uh, yea..."

OOC: Crap we totally forgot about J2 and Beowolf. Wolf can you fill me in on what was happening with them? Next post will be me taking over for Andy so JAD can continue on.

The doorknob turned for a moment, but to no avail to open the door. "Sir! It's locked!"

"Locked!? Well... break it down, moron!"

"Yes sir!" After a moment, the door started to pound in and out.

A door opened, but it wasn't by force, and it wasn't the one they were staring at, ut before they could get a view, the locked portal was broken and a flashbang had made its way into the room. Through the brightness that was the others eyes, several footsteps were heard filing into the room, each looking around.

"Sir! There!"

There was a momentary pause, "You're kidding, right? He couldn't be who we're looking for..."

Another voice popped up, "It looks like he is having trouble standing up..."

Then there was a fourth, "Heh... he had the shit beaten out of him, that's for sure."

"Ah..." A gruff voice came out, it was obviously the man leading this group. "Bring me back to the days of training camp... all the hell I was put through.."

"Hell?" A weak voice came through the white. "You say you have been in hell?" The voice sounded familiar, but too vauge for an accurate guess, "You haven't seen hell... I have been in hell! I have been trained in hell! A hell masked to be heaven, you have no right to say such things..."

"Are you kiddin me? I was brought up in a dictatorship.. We were beaten three times a day... Right after breakfast, lunch and dinner!" Gruffy came through proud.

"Beaten..." The weak voice laughed, "Beaten!?" His laughing soon got out of control. "I was killed! Several times before I was dismissed... and freed. To me... you have been brought up alongside a mother... a woman who has just given birth to child."

"What are you saying!?" Gruff spat back.

"Yeah! You don't know what hell is!"

"Sir... awaiting orders!"

"I say we take him down!"

"All right men! Aim... ready... huh?" but it was too late. a snap of a neck could be heard.

"Fire! Get him!" another one shouted out. Only then did the bullets ever leave the chamber of their guns, but even that was futile. For another bone crunching hit was heard, then two screams. Two of the soldiers had shot each other.

The weak voice came back through, "For those who have died here.. I am sorry. For the two I have saved... may you NEVER... go through the hell I have..." A step was heard, "I will get him..." Another, "He will fall to me..." step, "He... will... die! Where are you Mastermind!?"

The footsteps themselves were strange. They weren't rubber hitting the floor, it was flesh. The owner of the weak voice was barefooted. Also, as the light soon dissapated into normal focus, they could see a red bandana and purple pants, no shirt on his back.

He had done it, but his mission was not yet over as he stumbled his way through the broken down door.

Wolf heard the entire thing. He stood up from cover, and saw his friend stumble through the doorway. Behind Monk lay the bodies of enemy soldiers.

Wolf holstered his pistols.

"All clear!" he said to Jade and Wraith. "It's just Monk."

Monk dropped to one knee. Wolf managed to steady him. His friend looked like he had been worked over by the LAPD.

"Are you all right?" Wolf asked "What the hell happened? Where's Myth?"

***

Beowulf and J2 had reached Mastermind's Core Network. at the gate were two tanks, a Hum-Vee, and at least 20 soldiers

Beowulf looked at the gate, then at his partner. "As soon as we breach the gate, there will be troops all over the place gunning for us. I'll draw their fire. You plant the bomb, and then we get the hell out before it explodes."

The wolf avatar hefted a rocket launcher. "Let's do this" he targeted the nearest tank and fired. As the tank exploded in a ball of flame, the enemies went on full alert.

Monk had his head down, obviously too tired to keep it up. "Myth... was just a myth..." His head shook as he tried to pick it up, "However... he must pay..." He "pushed" Wolf aside, if a light nudge could be considered a push, and slowly got onto his feet, "I will kill him... for what he has done to me!" He took a step foward, "Don't think I won't! He has killed me many times over! He... will... pay!"

Wolf grabbed his friend's shoulder lightly, keeping him from walking off.

"You aren't going anywhere in your current condition." he said. "I know you are pissed about what Mastermind did to you, and I know I have no idea what it was like to be put through that, but we are still in this building, and you've just been through hell and back. Right now, we need to get out of here. I'm injured," Wolf pointed to his shoulder "And Jade's lost a lot of blood. You also look like crap, if I didn't mention it already. Once you recover, then you can kill Mastermind to your heart's content."

As long as you understand there's going to be a line there... Wolf thought.
