[FFRP] The Black City...

[Harri-chan]

She returned the first aid kit to the cupboard, and then frowned slightly at the news that most of the guns had probably been taken. "I hope none of your friends are down there waiting to shoot me... ", she mumbled, and then swept out of the room, her red cloak fluttering behind her as she walked down the corridor, wincing a little at the soreness in her shoulder as she searched for the entrance to the basement.

[Zoey]

"What are you doing with that thing?" asked Caine giving a curious look to Damian. "You arent planning on making a giant explosion?"

[Brnin8r]

Nora smiled, "I hope your human optimism sees us through. Max is a very resourceful master." she commented as they made it to the portal room. It hadn't been turned off surprisingly. Nora paused, "Are we ready?" she asked, her sword at the ready.

Damian shook his head, "With a pulse rifle? No, this won't even pierce the skin...but it'll fry machinery like a microwave." he stepped out of the car and moved to the back of the truck, taking out some rope and climbing gear.

***

Digging for a basement while you're on the second or third floor may not be the best of plans, but as she searched lower, the basement door was locked. No...not locked...sealed shut. The seams of the doors looked as if molten metal had been placed carefully over the doorway.

[Knight Errant]

Jack nods. "Yeah, lets get through before they do something smart." He jumps into the portal!

[Harri-chan]

She made her way down through the building, still moving cautiously, glancing back and forth as she walked through corridors and down stairs, before finally coming to the sealed door to the basement. Her gloved fingers brushed along the metal that had covered the seams, and she let out a sigh. Turning around, she leaned her back against it, and then reached an arm across her chest to rub at her bandaged shoulder, muttering about useless cops.

Pulling the red hood up over her head, she heads back upstairs, cursing herself for wasting explosives and only get shot in the shoulder in return. "Your friends sealed up the door... Thanks for all your help, Marv", she sneered sarcastically as she passed the open door to his room, suddenly spinning in her toes to face into the room, her hands pulling the pistols from her hips with lightning fast speed, bringing them up to aim at the fat, useless ex cop as she squeezed both triggers and fired!

[Zoey]

Caine was impressed, something like that could prove highly useful. After Damian left the Caine followed him out of the vehicle. "So, what? This is the place?"

[Brnin8r]

Nora soon followed after. The same gut-wrenching experience was no more fun than it was last time. As they emerged from the portal they would quickly recognize that they were definitely NOT back to the other gate. As they exited a loud pop sounded from behind them as the portal quickly shut and the spinning ring snapped off of its spinning joint and flew straight at Nora!

***

Damian nodded, "You were expecting a herald? We get to jump down." he began to rig up the back of the truck with the two sets of climbing gear.

***

Marv seemed more than confused at the fact that the doors were sealed, "They wouldn---" too late. His eyes quickly popped, the viscous white liquid blending in with bits of brain and blood, as two bullets penetrated through to the wall. Any other bullets were wasted ammo as the overweight man was already dead.

[Knight Errant]

Jack curses and jumps at Nora... trying to push her out of harms way!

[Harri-chan]

Wisps of smoke rose from thevend of each gun as she stood there, before spinning the pistols around on her fingers and thrusting them back down into the holster. Marv's final words went through her head again, and she glanced down at her final few explosives. If her luck with the police station so far continued, she'd be wasting them and leaving herself very poorly armed, for taking down robots atleast.

She paced back and forth in the corridor before turning suddenly, red cloak swirling behind her, and marched back down to the ground floor, returning to the sealed basement door, and began fixing the little balls to it's frame, each one glowing green once put in place. Once all her explosives had been placed around the door, she moved back, ducked around a corner and squeezed the detonator....

[Zoey]

"Shesh, it wouldn't kill ya to keep me updated Damian" said Caine a bit frustrated as he hooked on the climbing gear, but not before checking his guns were safely stored. "Ready when you are" he said assuming that he had but the gear like its supposed to be. Caine never did like hiking mountains.

[Brnin8r]

((Sorry for the lack of posting...life's happening to me in the worst way. My grave shift's clashing with my schoolwork and so I find myself on the failing end of the grade stick. I should have something posted in a few days...again...sorry.))

[Brnin8r]

The flying metal ring narrowly missed Nora as Jack bravely pushed the cyborg girl out of the way. Though obviously this put Jack in the way, and the ring made contact. (I'll allow you to decide how much the ring does to you, but it does indeed hit you.)

***

Damian had already begun repelling down the hole as Caine said he was ready. The drop was considerably longer than expected, like the sewers had been dug deeper than usual. Bits of broken pipe combined by loose-hanging wires welcomed the two men as they touched ground. The two ways allowed them were away from the center of town, or towards it. A faint green light seemed to permeate the scene.

***

The soldered metal broke and the doors clattered down the stairs to the basement as the explosives went off. A pitch black basement stared back at the girl. No warning as to what lie within.

[Zoey]

Caine tried to make a more clear view of the green light, before checking back with Damian. "Shouldnt we be wearing protective gas mask or something. You yourself said, that anything can happen down here". He was stepping into unknown territory, and when Caine did, he didnt like taking risks.

[Harri-chan]

Walking up to the frame of the door, she looked down into the darkness, drawing the pistols from her hips as the lights come on her goggles, hands and feet, shining it ahead of herself as she begins to walk down the steps, moving slowly, listening for any sound as she descended.

[Knight Errant]

Jack is laid out by the ring! Knocked to the floor as it rolls over him. The edge of it bashes him in the head and all fades to black...

((Aaaand its a knockout by a giant spinning ring, folks!))
