Interlude Chapter Two - Arun Escapes

After a fairly short amount of time, which seemed as an eternity to me, the lab door opened, with two guys with assault rifles in there. One of them looked at me, while i hid my hands behind me and said: "Come with us, this base is compromised. We're relocating you." And he started walking with his squadmate right towards me. "Just a little closer, c'mon.." I though.

When those two dumbheads came into reach, I grabbed their faces with my hands and used Energy to corrode them. They tried to scream, but their sounds came out as muffled shrieks, because I've held their faces, mouths included. As their bodies started to turn black, I simply exerted some strenght in my metallic hands, and crushed their heads into a meat paste. Clearing out the brains off my hands with more corrosive Energy, I've dragged both of them back into my room and blocked the door from closing using one of the legs of the guys. I've changed myself into an uniform of the other one and grabbed his ID card, his rifle, his credit chip and all magazines he had on himself. He even had a personal energy field, so naturally, i took that too.

After i left the cell, i've double checked, that there is no one in the corridor before kicking the leg of the dead guy out back in the cell to make the door close. The alarms still screamed as it was clear that the cause of the problem was not yet cleared. I've loaded the assault rifle with magazine filled up with AP rounds and switched it to full auto. "Pretty old rifle for this time, but anything is better than no weapon at all" I thought as i walked forward, towards what seemed to be a warzone, due to the gunshots, that can be heard in front of me.

I came in front of severely destroyed magnetic lock door, which had a huge gaping hole, which has been made highly because of some serious plasma bomb. In the hall, where the hangar and garage was, there were two parties shooting at each other. One party were the guards of this lab base, as they were clothed the same as me now and the other were clothed in green/black camo military uniforms with laser rifles shooting the guards. "Damn.. I've never thought that the alliance got their hands on this location. But it is too late. This base conducted something disgusting here" as I've looked on my fingers and all other metal parts of my body.

I've crept towards one of the hovercraft bikes, as it was one of the few vehicles i remembered how to drive. I checked out, if the bike had been locked or not and if it is charged enough for me to drive away. Since the garage/hangar gate is open, i can try to squeeze the bike between the military APC's of the Alliance to run away. Fortunately enough for me, the hoverbike was full charged and was not even locked. And as a bonus, it had plasma frontal cannons, which will be definitely useful for me, because I'll be able to make more space between the APC's.

I've kicked up the engine, revved it up a bit and drove towards the exit. The lab guards and the Alliance soldiers both shouted "Stop!", but i did not react at all. The lab guards recognized my face and started firing right away, but it was already too late, as I shot towards the APC's from the hoverbike's plasma cannons and drove out into the night.
