"Right well... we're nearing the warehouse area... lets all close in together... keep tight formation... and be on your ready."

Haleigh raised her hands, an automatic rifle appearing in her grip. Her posture fell into a creeping stance, allowing her to move forward in a pose ready to fire and simultaneously shrinking her size to made herself harder to hit. She rounded the corner and fired immediately, anticipating the guards standing watch. the gun made next to near NO noise, a small 'flit-flit' 'flit-flit' as she doubletapped both guards and cleared the area. She moved forward, sweeping her gaze around to make sure no one else was there. She stopped by the sliding door and turned back to them.

"Well.... here we are... the point of no return. Shall we storm the Fort?"

She prompted, a polite way of making sure everyone was ready for what they were about to undertake.
 
:: Rounding the corner with Haleigh, she continued to slowly and carefully walk as Hales took care of the two guards with her rifle. She was on full alert as she swept her eyes around the surrounding area. Finally coming to the door, Lex stopped and turned back to the group then to Haleigh. With a nod, Alexis wiggled her finger tips very casually as sparks of electricity emitted from them. The hive had so much energy, she hardly had to "work" to call her powers. It came so naturally and so fluently, it was amazing. She felt empowered here, more so then any other place she'd ever been too. ::

"Lets go."
 
[ MorningStar followed the others to the warehouse entrance, still watching their back. Haleigh's training showed through in her dispatching of the guards, though Delilah wondered what had become of her 'don't engage the guards without discussing it first' plan. Nevertheless... ]

"Ready as we're going to be."
 
<< Spellbinder hovered above the group....the expanse of the warehouse was ENORMOUS...with levels reaching up and down seemingly infinite. sounds of power and cutting edge technology were in the air.>>

excellent. Black Widow has gotten us this far.....but now


<< before she could finish.....POWERFUL, UNFORGIVING blaring spotlights focused on the group>>

<<the voice seemed almost comical..like the host to a terrifying ride at an amusement park>>

Spellbinder, Guardian, Shockwave, MorningStar and most especially Black Widow........welcome all of you to Advanced Idea Mechanics....the technical arm of MysTech. Strap in and prepare to experience all the technology has to offer....as we OBLITERATE YOU!


<<would anyone notice that BANE had not been mentioned? was it possible that he hadnt even been noticed by the scans? defenses began to power up......leading off with a barrage of laser and repulsor blasts.......being released in rapid succession and in groups.>>


<< Spellbinder's eyes widened.>>

stay together! do not them divide us!

<< discs of high velocity began hurling toward Spellbinder herself.....spinning so fast...they made the air cry as they sliced towards the witch>>

<<Spellbinder gritted her teeth....and charged forward....extending her fists....and firing two eldritch bolts....blasting the two on coming discs....while three more launched forward....she climbed high and began evasive maneuvers. the laser barrage continued to bombard the rest of the group...leaving them to defend and avoid injury>>
 
Bane hovered behind them, unimpressed by the lights and the voices and, most of all, the first defense measures taken against them. He, at least, had noticed the fact his name had not been mentioned, though currently he was unsure if it was a trick or not.

Regardless, he kept his defenses up, continuing to shift in and out of this world bu,t now, throwing his hands out. True to his purpose of protection, a transluscent bubble burst forth around the group, etheral energy sizzling with power as the projected energy blasts were soon effortlessly bounced back. As a property of the energy Adrian manipulated, the environment had grown noticeably colder.
 
:: Guardian put her gloved hand to her temple...as she closed her eyes for a brief moment:



this is only the beginning.....


::sounds of metal shifting could be heard....the grated platform they were now standing on....began to LOWER down...an open and unprotected elevator......cannons ...began to appear and fire energy draining ion blasts....draining the power of Bane's field..and causing it to fluctuate.

"Army Eyes"....floating devices that lock on the genetic signature of their target and pack enough explosive power to destroy high rise apartments...began to fly in formation......and circle around.....SLAMMING into the field and causing it to weaken even further....until finally it flickered OUT of existence. at that moment.....

"Nano Sentinels" humanoid sized sentinels with cutting edge technology allowing them to adapt to almost any combat situation began flying up into view via rocket propulsion...and landing in groups on the platform....marching forward...some began to fire ballistic blasts. while another group approached the group preparing to assault them::



:: Guardian gestured...and deflected the first wave of blasts from the nano sentinels....redirecting them back at their creators....the nano sentinels were staggered..but not destroyed...and continued to advance::
 
:: As the sentinels's appeared Alexis raised her hand sending a web of electricity exploded from her palm and expanded onto the first row of sentinels. Waving her hand ala Prue, the web lifted the sentinels's and sent them flying into the opposing wall, shattering them. Lifting her other hand, she sent plasma bolts shooting at the sentinels's at machine gun speeds. As the plasma hit the sentinels's bodies it expanded into their circuitry immediately frying their systems and draining their energy. ::

"Technology has always been my strong suite."

:: Alexis said as she sent a wave of energy bellowing at more of the oncoming sentinels. ::
 
<< the energy discs kept after Spellbinder. tightly matching her maneuvers. until finally...she swooped down...toward a line of nano sentinels and flew straight for them at an intersecteng pattern. at the last moment before she would have collided, Spellbinder TELEPORTS via stepping disc.>>

<<the air splitting energy discs are unable to cope and crash into the nano sentinels, slicing their heads clean off down the whole row. the headless bodies fall down as sparks and energy erupt from their exposed necks>>

<< landing down with the group, Spellbinder began a fire fight with one of the more agressive sentinels.....matching his flame blasts with her own mystic flame bolts.>>

these are far faster....and far more agressive than the traditional Mark V sentinels we faced months ago. and they just keep coming!

<< meanwhile...another group of nano sentinels began to retaliate against Shockwave...RETURNING her blasts back at her...only now the blasts were magnetic in nature...TEARING through her body and PULLING the electricity out of her with such force...>>

Guardian...keep us moving....so that Black Widow can get us where we need to go! we cant get trapped in any one place!
 
[ MorningStar raised her hands, and spreading her fingers, began to draw on the light of the room and focus it. She held up her left hand, palm out, and a light display - somewhat like a strobe light - circled around the bodies of the sentinels.

With the other hand, she began firing photon blasts at the cannons. ]

"Agreed. We can't let them pin us down..."
 
:: Seeing her attacks begin to come back at full force, Alexis quickly began "pitch" energy balls at the attacks so they were to crash into the blasts and prevent them from hitting her. But the NS sent the blasts back so fast she couldn't keep up and one blast hit her chest full force. Like a mini shockwave, it expanded within her body and began to rip her electric energy out of the meta human like someone was literally ripping her limbs off. Screaming, Lex dropped to the ground holding her now smoking body in great pain. ::
 
[ MorningStar's attention was ripped away from the cannons as she saw Shockwave fall. Quickly she focused her light energy into a forcefield, hoping to provide Alexis with some protection until they could get to her. ]
 
<< Spellbinder finally over powered her foe...and saw MorningStar covering Shockwave...defending with her laser shields>>

these sentinels are no joke!

<< teleporting via disc...Spellbinder began to use the upper limits of her super strength as she beat down that group of Sentinels that was advancing on MorningStar and Shockwave. She BROKE UP their attack on the two women as she raised up off the ground slightly....took their heads and SLAMMED THEM TOGETHER..causing them to explode>>

Delilah!! use your photon...take those mounted cannons!!

<< she was referring to the cannons that were hammering at Guardian and Black Widow. Guardian was easily defending with her force fields...but the cannons were relentless in their barrage>>

<< Meanwhile Spellbinder brawled with the nano sentinels who were only a few feet taller than her....she ripped them apart...pulling arms off....and smacking others in the face with the severed arms..but she was getting her hits as well....getting clocked across the jaw by a quick moving Sentinel who rushed her>>

UGH!!

<< falling to the ground and shaken by punch to the jaw....Spellbinder shook her head for a moment...having to get her bearings before the Sentinel , who was now standing over her...was about to SMASH HER head in with his raised fist! thrusting her left hand out toward the sentinel...she unleassed a wide beamed eldritch bolt at POINT BLANK range and reduced his head to melted slag as it flew off from the body>>
 
:: Coughing Alexis' body was in shock (no pun intended) by the massive electrical surges created by the reversal of power. Placing her knee on the ground, she managed to get to her feet looking at the relentless sentinels. Stepping past the forcefield provided by Morningstar, she was greatful that Delilah acted so quickly to help her, but she wasn't about to sit back and have those transformer wannabes get the best of her. Lifting her hand, palm facing the sentinel's, a massive swarm of tiny energy balls began to fly out of her hand. Hundreds of thousands surrounding them. The sentinel's were distracted by the swarm, stopping them for only a few seconds from attacking. And within those few seconds, Alexis closed her hand and the energy balls stopped in mid flight......Suddenly a huge ray of light appeared in the center of the sentinel's and like an exploding star, the light went horizontal sending a massive shockwave through the entire bunch of sentinel's, each energyball connecting with the next, feeding off one another. ::

:: The shockwave was so massive, as it passed through The Six, those who weren't prepared would be clearly knocked down and/or even knocked unconcious. As for the sentinel's, a huge chuck of the oncoming army was now nothing more then scrap metal on the floor. ::
 
Bane raised an eyebrow as his forcefield was attacked and eventually disengaged. Left and right his teammates battled the sentinels, while he stood by, almost invisible save for the occasional blast that went through his tangible body. Adrian now flew up into the air at lightning fast speeds, observing the recent wreackage caused by Alexis' shockwave. Tossing a fleeting glance down towards the rest of the group, he could only hope the rest had survived Alexis' deadly area attack. As for him, well.

The best defense may be the best offense.

The rest of his movements were a blur. Of course, as expected, the cosmic force within him allowed rapid and masterful control of his tangibility, super speed and, drawing on the emerald green energy that surrounded him, an added boost of super strength. He tore through sentinels like paper, breaking robotic leg, smashing mechanical chest, and destroying circuitry. Spinning and wreaking, his robe hissing with the output of the deadly synergized pyroelectric energy, reducing these metal soldiers to rubble. The cannons that Spellbinder had urged the destruction of had long been taken care of; the dust of their remaining visages scattered across the area of war, scenting the air with a metallic smell.

Pretty soon, Adrian had once more edged his way into the middle of oncoming sentinels and other robotic weapons. His energy seemed boundless, and to onlookers, the emerald blur that was Adrian had a mechanic efficiency akin to the sentinels that were now being slaughtered. With each demise of sentinel, Adrian's power only seemed to increase. However, it was only a matter of time until the technological genius of this fortress sensed the alarming anomly and dealt with it accordingly. His almost foolhardy vigilance may soon spell his doom.
 
[ MorningStar closed her right fist, the forcefield dissipating. She then turned to the cannon, extending her fingers as photon blasts began firing from her hand, still keeping up the light show around the sentinels. As Bane did his work, she turned her full attention to sending blasts at the sentinels. ]
 
Haleigh turned a couple of circles, taking in the room. She knew what this room looked like in the prints... but something was different. Their path was.... not blocked... but MISSING. She slipped through the group, putting her hands to the wall where the passage should be. She could hear the battle unfolding around her.... but she gave it no heed, placing her ear to the metal and knocking softly, listening for an echo. It had to be here somewhere... the only straight path to Nervous... it couldnt have been filled in... Haleigh's face brightened, as she heard what shed been looking for. She pulled out a small metal disc and stuck it to the wall. A sentinel grabbed her by the shoulder and spun her around. Haleigh smiled and flipped the hood up on her parka just before the disc detonated. The sentinel was enveloped in shrapnel and fire, the explosion taking over the immediate area and blasting the sentinel to pieces of charred metal. Haleigh as protected by her suit and she was the only of the Six that was within the blast path... the rest would just feel the heat and shudder of the explosion.

Haleigh tipped her head back to drop her hood and lunged forward to grab a sentinel that was preparing an attack on Alison. She pulled of her left glove with her teeth and made skin contact with the robot, and it jerked as if it was seizuring before falling to the ground. Haleigh had mastered the ability to emit an EMP without collapsing herself... and a visible blue 'shockwave' of sorts rippled out fom around her, knocking ALL the currently active sentinel minis offline and suddenly silencing everything. The Lights flickered before the generators kicked on and suddenly Haleigh's voice was the only thing to be heard.

"Quit screwing around.... This is the way."
 
:: Hearing Haleigh's words, Alexis quickly dodged a few more sentinel's before meeting up with the blonde. The quicker they got out of this never ending battle, but better. ::
 
[ MorningStar slowly backed towards the two, still firing blasts out of her hands as she went. Reaching them, she knelt and continued to cover them. ]
 
:: Guardian lifted her hands....the sound of metal shifting and locks disengaging could be heard..as the platform they were on began to lift a bit and move forward.... at the same time....a forcefield appeared on either side of the group......and cascaded with the platform...easily blocking all the projectiles and weapons firing at them. it gave them a brief respite as they were able to dispatch the sentinels that were now face to face with them::

im moving us toward the door...the forcefield will protect us from the wave of lasers and because its powered by my mind...the army eyes will not be able to drain it as long as i am conscious. the door way ahead..will lead us into a large room....once inside we will be locked in BUT we will be a third of the way toward Nervous!


:: everyone in the group was able to power down for a moment...and collect themselves::

Black Widow, see if you cant "look ahead" in your own way and lock onto the defense systems in this "danger room". perhaps we can buy ourselves some time and conserve our energy for the final run of Nervous!


:: the platform moved along slowly..a soft whirring sound could be heard...as laser blasts, metal spiked balls, explosions, army eyes and rolling repulsor cannons continued to pound RELENTLESSly at the force field::
 
<< using a leg of a nano sentinel that she had viciously ripped off , Spellbinder bashes the last sentinel on her case in the head so hard it spins around as sparks fly out of its collar and neck area....and its head explodes before falling to the ground>>

<< throwing the leg down...it clangs against the metallic platform.>>

<< shaking her head....Morgan sighs with exasperation>>

goddess...those things are RELENTLESS. but they arent nearly as durable as the marvk V sentinels. << looking down at herself...she notices parts of her costume are ripped and she has visible bruising. Guardian has brought the team some time as Haleigh points to the next step and Guardian uses her power to get them there>>

well.....not bad for the first round eh? who needs healing??

<<looking around at the group>>

better do it now while we have this breather. there's no telling what they will do to us once we make our final pass for NERVOUS.

<< stretching a bit..Morgan groaned with an achey feeling..but she knew others might be in need of assistance and healing. it would be a few minutes before they reached the door way...Guardian's telekinetic power were helping them to cross the warehouse without having to leave the safety of the platform. Having restored the wounds of those that she could and everyone getting a breather...they were now at the doorway...one by one each member jumps off the platform and into the dark room that is clearly large and spacious. as Bane finally brings up the rear....they turn for one last look at the chaotic warehouse. the door way slams shut and seals from the outside. leaving them all in the room..which is deadly silent and cold. no visible objects can be seen. no other door ways or windows.>>

<< speaking, morgan finds her voice echoing against the vibranium steel walls>>

Guardian....Black Widow....whats next?

<< high above....very high above... a small red light was blinking...very softly as soon as all the stats of the group had been confirmed by NERVOUS....the gauntlent would begin>>
