The Sorrowful Rebel The Promising Rebel Part Three

 Fallen Stronghold

They soon arrived at the location and walked up to the tunnel, only to find that there was not a guard in sight! To Open looked at the single padlock and already was on picking it as the rest of them all stood guarding her as she worked. All of them looked out for anyone or anything coming. Soon she was done. The moment that they walked in they could smell the intoxicating scent of oil. This told them all they needed to know. Yet she knew that they would all have to grin and bear it as they walked in further and further. She walked in the front, ready to ensure the others would know a trap when she spring it.

"Hey!"

She looked back to catch something. She looked down to see a strange mask. She looked at them confused as the others put on theirs.

"Put it on. It should protect you from all the poisonous gases." Distant Battle explained.

"There are poisonous gases?"

Since when can the air kill someone?

"Yes. There are gases that are air that can cause all kinds of negative things!"

"Oh."

How would that do anything?

Well there have been times in my world where people would go to a place and die, maybe that is where the poisonous gases are?

"And what is this supposed to do?"

"Clear the air."

"How?"

"Never mind. Just put it on. We do have a mission to do."

She did and walked on. She looked down at the map. She could see that the gas mask was limiting her sight. She had to move her head down a little just to see it. Yet then she saw beneath her feet a mixture of dead nice and rats.

So this is what poisonous gases can do! Very creepy. She thought with a shudder running down her spine.

She walked on, taking a few glances at the map every now and again. Mainly to see where they were.

"Are we at the place yet?"

"No. According to the map we are close."

"Good."

They soon walked on and on. She looked down at the map before they came to a plane steel door with no door knob.

This can not be the only way in. But if there is what?

"To Break, To Open, can you get this door open?"

"Should be."

They looked all around the doorway. They looked at the door itself. Thru looked at the edges where the door and the doorframe met. They then To Open saw the hinges on the left of the doorframe She pulled at the small hinges revealing a set of rubber buttons. She looked over to To Break and he nodded. He pulled out a knife and used the tip as a screwdriver. He soon pulled away the pad and exposed a group of wires. He cut a few of them. He then pulled on a pair of rubber gloves and pulled at some of the wires. He twisted the metal with another wire. Then he pulled at one and the door opened.

That was when Loc pushed them all to the side as a shower of bullets opened up. Loc ran in. She felt the pain of the bullets as they hit her. She bit her lip as the itching came. She then fell as she felt more and more bullets dig into her body.

Get back up! Get back to! You have nothing to fear. You are immortal after all!

She forced herself back into her feet. She put one foot forward after the other. She raised her gun and remembered what would happen if she failed, and fired. She aimed at the feet, still not wanting to kill them. She then saw more bullets come and they all hit them.

"Move it!"

"What?"

"You heard, we're all here to get your in."

Then someone walked up to them. She was just one random woman. She saw what was happening and trapped her arms.

"What are you?"

"Go! Get out of here!" Loc shouted.

She nodded as she ran out of the room. The rest followed her and ran up the stairs. Then they came to the room.

"Now run out of the factory."

She nodded as she left the room.

Soon she pulled out the bomb and gave it to Distant Battle. He soon set it then Loc got the fire alarm. 

Soon the whole place was put on red alert! Loc all spotted that all of them were racing to the exit like a flock of sheep. They then looked back to see the door behind only to find that it was cut off. Leaving the only one option. They opened the door and ran into the crowd. Then they all felt the ice cold shower. Then Loc smelt it and her blood turned cold.

"Sulphur! We have to get out of here! We have to get out of there now!"

They looked at her and sniffed. They felt their heads race as they all ran to the doors as fast as they could. Only for them to close. Then they felt something hit their back and they flung into the walls. Loc looked To Break and To Open.

"Can you-"

"Yes!"

They started to get to work. Loc looked back to see that there was nothing but a fire behind them.

"They-"

"Yeah. I know!"

"All of you, are you alright?"

"Yeah!" They all shouted as they were out of the doors and ran as fast and as far as they could. Then the whole thing blew off.

So this is the kind of enemy that we are dealing with…
