Monsters

*DANG!DANG!DANG!*

Ori wails on the large metal vault-like door of the facility, leaving shallow fist-shaped imprints with each strike. Unfortunately, at this rate it'd take days or maybe even weeks to break through like this.

"Shit! How the fuck're we gonna get in!?" he growls, throwing even more weight behind his punches, to no avail.

"Watch out!" Rebecca shouts, dropping to a knee and blasting an automatic gun that'd appeared out of the wall.

Reacting quickly, Ori twists slightly and launches a Monowire at the next, cutting a long line into the wall as the gun gets split in two. He pulls the wire back, allowing it to wrap around his arm, the Composite Ceramic plating preventing his entire limb from getting dismembered.

A dozen more guns appear from the ceiling and Rebecca wipes five out by shooting both Guts and an automatic pistol. Ori utilises his new ankle Cyberware and leaps at the wall, bouncing off and spinning midair with his Monowire extended.

*Clatter!*

The remnants of the destroyed defences hit the ground before he does. He lands heavily and steps towards Rebecca, prepared for any other defence that might crop up. "Thank that's all of 'em?"

"Dunno! But we gotta get through soon if we want Sasha back."

*ClllaaACK!*

The door starts the process of opening, and the duo could hear the uttering of guards, likely a whole blockade ready to blow them apart.

Ori shakes his legs, feeling the shock systems reset and ready themselves for another leap. "Stay behind me, this is probably gonna hurt..."

"Not if we kill them first!" she grins, cocking her gun.

He shakes his head and raises his arms in front of him, allowing the nanites to max his defences as much as possible. This was definitely gonna hurt.

*CLAACK!*

"OPEN FIRE!"

Ori launches himself forwards like an arrow, grimacing as the guards used higher calibre ammo and more powerful weaponry against him. Some bullets get through his plating, but they were luckily stopped by the nanite reinforcement enhancing his skin.

Rebecca was behind of course, cackling as she gunned down high-priority targets, like the guys using heavy machine guns or anti-material rifles. A few stray shots hit her, but she avoided them well enough to only receive flesh wounds if they did pierce her own armour.

*CRAASH!*

Ori attempt to clothesline the closest guards, but he was moving too fast, with arms too hard, that he ended up just cutting the unlucky men in half, sending their mangled torsos flying against the back wall.

He kicks another into a group before turning and swinging a Monowire at the ones behind him, cutting all but a few down. Seems like Biotechnica was going for quantity over quality here.

*BANG!*

He stumbles forwards as some brave soul nails him point black in the back with a shotgun, the stopping power would have turned his spine to power, had it not been altered to a titanium composite. "That hurt." he growls as he turns, causing the shocked guard to hurriedly reload his gun.

*Splatter!*

Only for Rebecca to blow his clean off. She runs up and kicks the headless body over, shooting at the other downed but not dead guards scattered around. "Thanks for opening the door, idiots!" she laughs.

"The elevator." he moves, while he'd like to have the nanites deconstruct the corpses, Sasha was probably on a time limit. He scans a stolen I.D and selects the floor below, hoping they'd be done before reinforcements arrived.

------------------

*DangDangDangDang!*

Bullet ping off of the exterior of the vent as Sasha rapidly crawls through it. Of course the facility had a way to track her movement, because why wouldn't they!? She didn't even know where she was anymore, the maze-like vent system sending her sense of direction to hell.

*Crash!*

A hand punches straight through the top of the vent and tries to grab her, she retaliates with her rippers of course, cutting a deep wound into the offending limb.

"AARGH! BITCH! I'LL SKULL-FUCK YOU TO DEATH!"

She shuffles backwards and takes another direction at an intersection, unaware of the rapid incline... She slips and begins sliding down, crashing through some fans until hitting the bottom, crashing through the vent and landing in the middle of some laboratory filled with scientists.

"Ah, well since I'm here..." she bares her teeth and extends her claws.

"W-WAIT-"

*Slash!*

She all but cuts the first man's head off before proceeding to slaughter the rest. They'd thoroughly enhanced their minds with Cyberware, but physically they were worse than the average man.

Flicking the blood off of her hands, she finally realises just where she is... She turns and looks through the nearby glass window, seeing cells upon cells with restrained, pregnant women, all covered head to toe in diagnostic equipment.

There was nothing she could do though... Even if she let them out the guards might just gun them down. Fuck it, let them choose their own fates.

She ports into the nearby door systems and opens them all, remotely releasing the women from their binds. "Stay a slave or die free, I can't do anything else for you!" she speaks through the intercom just as the door to the lab crashes open, a large cyborg eyeing her like a slab of meat.

"Boss'll give me a bonus if I bring you alive... But where's the fun in that!?"

"You can try." she scowls, attempting to hack into his system. It'd take a while given his ICE walls though...

The cyborg chuckles as his arms release steam, opening up to reveal like flamethrowers. "You choose girly, medium-well or crispy?"

"I prefer sashimi," she flexes her claws, "Stand still so I can get a clean cut."

"Hahaha! I like you! Shame you're about to die!" with that, he unleashes fire upon her. She dodges, but he doesn't care, spewing blue flames all around the place, setting fire to anything even flammable.
