Esten:

A couple shots were heard from the hallway as Raven spoke, before suddenly a Esten appeared in front of the two of them, diving down the stairs. He picked himself up from the bottom steps, before moving behind them.

"Two left, one's disabled," Esten said as he took a few heavy breaths. A small amount of blood started to trickle down from the corner of his mouth.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Verahl:

Verahl nodded, and finished loading his Revenant. He knew he'd be able to finish the final two drones off with a long enough burst. He moved out into the hallway, and unleashed the Revenant upon the one drone left flying. Without the advantage of numbers, the remaining drones stood no chance. Its shields were quickly stripped, before the rest of the shots pierced its thin armor and destroyed it.

Verahl walked down the hall to the disabled one. It was now on the ground. It kept activating some of its thrusters, trying to fly back into the air so it could turn around and shoot, but it simply kept flailing around on the floor. Verahl put the final few shots into it, and waited for it to stop completely.

He turned back to face the stairs and called for Raven and Esten.

"Back on the door Esten, I want that opened immediatly."

Esten ran to the terminal, and opened it once again. Verahl couldn't see exactly what Esten was doing, but he knew it would be only a short amount of time before they were through.

Sure enough, the doors to the office opened, but much to the surprise of Esten, who was turning himself so he could get a clear shot on it.

"It's internal!" Esten yelled.

Verahl hardly had the time to raise his weapon to aim it at the door. He was ready though as the doors began to finally pull apart, the locks having taken a moment to disengage. Before any of them could even start firing though, Verahl and Raven were thrown across the hallway.

Verahl had been hit hardest and directly by the charge. He had been thrown all the way down the hall, and was stopped by the far wall. He couldn't tell what had happened to him. The room was spinning to him. The blast had left him disoriented as he tried to focus on seeing what was happening at the other end.

Esten was behind the assailaint. He had no idea who it was, only that it was a Vanguard with incredible biotic strength. Esten raised his pistol, firing a few shots into the Vanguard's back before he sharply turned to Esten.

The Vanguard raised his hand as Esten went limp, realizing what was going to happen to him. Suddenly the Vanguard unleashed a Throw onto him, sending him flying through the office, and the window at the end.

All that could be seen from the hall was Esten being carried through the glass window behind him, as he fell to the club's floor below. The Vanguard turned back to see Raven now getting up to face him. He quickly stepped back into the office, taking cover behind the doorway as he drew his shotgun to face him.

Only one more left.

Doc Miles:

"Buddy, I know two things right now. First off, I know that you aren't getting out of this building with the rest of the 4-6 armed and fighting in here," Miles said calmly as he walked behind Lexi's chair and started to undo the restraints that kept her to it. "I also know that even if you make it out of here by some miracle, that you won't be getting farther then maybe the next street over before you either go into shock, or finally bleed out. Hopefully it won't be in front of a Vorchian Restaurant as well, because I'm sure they wouldn't mind throwing you in their special of the day."

When he finished releasing Lexi, he moved to the side to lean on the wall behind him. He crossed his arms and waited for the Turian to make his next move. All he knew was that if the Turian didn't try to get patched up now, he wouldn't be getting a second chance to.

 

[The Zango]

"Listen to me you worm, I'd sooner take my chances outside than with you!" Ocara replied, stepping forwards and jamming the gun further into the mans face. His vision was beginning to blur and he was having trouble staying up, but there was no way he would die now, not while Lexi was still in danger.

"Now, Your going to tell us how to get o-"

Before Ocara could finish however, Lexi's familiar voice pipped up from behind him.

"Oc, you'll never make it, let him help you"

Lexi sounded more worried than she'd ever sounded before, never had she sounded this concerned, not when 4-6 were questioning her about his whereabouts, not even that night when he rescued her from the Vorcha.

"Dont worry, it looks worse than..."

For a second time, Ocara could not complete his sentence, but this time it was not an interruption that stopped him, but instead it was his consciousness finally slipping away, causing him to drop the gun and collapse.

 

[Crayzor]

Thayna ejected the heat sink from her Tempest and inserted a new one, before speaking to the others. "Sal's an infiltrator, right? She should be able to get in close with a grenade and take them out before they know what hit 'em. If we attack at the same time, we should be able to take them out."

 

[Captainguy42]

" No there's too many of them for one grenade, look here." Yossar picked himself up and motioned to an elevator, the lights and buttons had long been torn out.

"This shaft drops right behind their position, all we need to do is get it open and we can catch them by surprise."

 

[Chicago Ted]

Lux:

"There are enough grenades to disable them Yossar," Lux said as he walked towards the elevator doors. "But Sal, see if you can open these somehow through an alternate terminal. We'd give them less time to react if they didn't know we were trying to go down this way."

 

[sage42]

"Got ya, Lux. I'll have this thing open as soon as I can." Sal said holstering her SMG. She quickly looked around for a terminal. "Ah ha there it is." She said as she hacked the system. "Should have put more security in this thing, now let's see....personnel files? No....operations record....need to main terminal for that....Ah here it is! Power systems.....now let's see, Cameras? can't get to hem from here....monitors? again can't reach....Here they are, elevators opening....now." She said looking up as the doors slid reluctantly open. "Ask and ye shall receive." Sal said with a small smile.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Lux:

Lux grinned and peered down the shaft. He could see the elevator resting at the bottom. This made Lux even happier. He now knew that the building only had three levels to it. With the elevator resting on the bottom, it would allow them to drop onto its roof, where they would be able to go through the second level's doors.

"Karnak, you know how to set one of these?" Lux said, as he pulled a charge out from his pack.

"I've used them before."

"Then get down there and set it on the doors, I'm too heavy to pull back up."

Karnak stopped himself from adding anything onto that as he dropped down onto the top of the elevator. He placed the charge in the centre of the doors before arming it.

"Pull me up," he called.

Back with the others, Karnak watched as Lux pulled out the detonator. He waited a moment for everyone to move away from the shaft, before pushing down on the trigger. The explosion could be felt throughout the base, as part of it could be seen from the open shaft.

Lux was the first to jump down again to the next level. He was immediately under heavy fire. Ahead of him were several of the 4-6?s brutes. Some were already set up facing the elevator, and firing into the open shaft. Lux quickly moved from the shaft and into the hallway in front of him. While the main hall ran from the stairs to the elevator, there was a separate one going from wall to wall in front of the elevator. At each end of this one, there were two large doors that faced inwards, running parallel with the main hall. The halls were empty as well, offering no cover to anyone who would walk down them, other than a single set of doorways on both walls near the middle.

Thinking quickly, Lux knew he would need to create a distraction for the rest of the Company. From his pack pocket, he pulled out his final type of grenade. He threw it down the corridor, and waited for a moment for it to start releasing smoke, obscuring the main hall. Shots flew wildly through the smoke, but most were now hitting the walls of the hallways.

?Get down here now!? Lux yelled into his comm.

Spoiler: OoC

Ok, just so this is clear, this is where we are now fighting in. Imagine an upper case ?T?, just like that one. The part that goes down is where the 4-6 are. They are at the bottom of it. The stairwell is at the bottom of it as well. The elevator is at the top in the middle, where both lines meet. The top line is a separate hallway, that Lux has taken cover in. At the ends of both hallways are a set of doors. If lines were run over these doors, they would run down and parallel to the main hallway. These doors open up into separate rooms, but are currently locked. If you attempt to go through them, you will need either Lux to blow them open, or Sal to hack through them.

Dragging himself to his feet, Raven ducked into cover before chancing a look over at where Verahl had fallen. Fuck he isn't moving and I can't even see where Esten went. They planned for us to split up like this. Unleashing a suppressive burst from his Shredder, he moved to a closer position to Vanguard, getting ready to move in for the kill.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Vance:
Vance grabbed his helmet of the table nearby. It took him only a moment to put on. He looked out over the club below; he could now make out the details of it. Where the tables were, where the knocked over chairs were, the counters, the bars, all of it. He looked above the chaos below, and smiled, before shooting out the other window pane in the office.

He placed his shotgun around the corner, making a few blind blasts down the hall before he rushed towards the window that he had thrown Esten from. He reached the ledge and jumped out of it, before shooting himself towards the ceiling with another charge.

Vance stopped himself before he hit the ceiling, and fell onto the catwalks above the club. They were normally used for lighting and maintenance purposes, but now they?d be where he would fight from. He holstered his shotgun, and looked around. He spotted the assault rifle he had left behind on a railing nearby. He smiled and picked it up. It would suit him perfectly up here. He peered over the railing to the dance floor below. His lowlights helped brighten it up, as he spotted a large number of broken chairs and tables that rested on top of one another.

That?s where he landed, where is he now?

He didn?t have time to look any longer though. The Salarian would just be something he?d have to deal with later. He looked into the office. The removal off the tinted windows allowed him to see almost everything inside. He readied his rifle, looking for Raven, waiting for him to expose himself to him.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Karnak & Lux:

Karnak dropped down once more onto the top of the elevator. He watched as a lucky few shots flew through the smoke and elevator doors before hitting the opposite wall of the shaft. Knowing his time was short, Karnak sprinted out and took cover on the wall opposite Lux.

?What now?? he yelled over the gunfire.

?We have to flank them before---? a few shots hit the wall nearby Lux?s head, only inches from it. ?Before they do the same to us!?

He looked over the other company members, looking for the Quarian they had brought with them.

?Where?s Sal?! I need these doors open NOW!?

 

[Xero Scythe]

Spoiler: OOC

I am truly sorry. I misread your earlier post and thought you had already opened the doors.

Basara dropped down behind Karnak into the shaft. He watched as Karnak dashed across to take position on the wall opposite Lux, while he took cover in remains of the elevator's old door.

Leaning from the opening, he fired his assualt rifle through the smoke that engulfed most of the hallway, and towards the 4-6 that stood in the opposite end. His shots were as blind as theirs, but he hoped it would at least send one of them looking for cover.

"Where's Sal?! I need these doors open NOW!"

Basara looked up the shaft, hoping Sal would hear them and be the next to drop down.

"Sal, give us a hand!" he yelled up the shaft, hoping she could hear him.

 

[sage42]

Spoiler: Woah Woah Woah!

Sorry Zero gotta call you out on that one. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get on yesterday, but please don't control Sal. I'll post now but please edit yours.

Sal dropped down next to Lux. "I'm right here Lux, I needed to try from up there but no luck I'll have to get it from here." She said kneeling donw as a few shot hit the wall next to her head. She typed quickly at the console. "C'mon you Bosh'tet! Open!" She mumbled as the doors finally opened. "There we go!" She said turning as she drew her SMG and fired a few burts at the advancing 4-6 members.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Lux:

"Yossar! Karnak! Meer! Head through to their end!" Lux yelled as he pointed towards the open door. "Karnak, take one of my charges and blow that second door open!"

The smoke was starting to clear and the fighting becoming more intense. The machine gun was now facing down the hallway, giving only moments for them to fire before being forced to take cover.

"Sal, get the other set open for the rest of us!" he yelled as he pointed to the opposite end of the hall, and towards the other door. In between her and the doors though was the 4-6's line of fire. "Basara! Santius! Give her as much covering fire as you can! Supress them in three, two, one!"

With that, each quickly started unloading down the hall towards the machine gun, trying to buy Sal a few seconds to safely cross it.

 

[CJ1145]

As soon as the order was given Meer charged into the hall with reckless abandon. He laughed maniacally, totally losing himself in the combat as he unleashed hell at any 4-6 dumb enough to poke their head out. Three rounds managed to impact on his arm, but it did little against his Warlord-style armor beyond scraping off a bit of the paint.

After a few more seconds his kinetic barriers went down, and even as a raging krogan he recognized the need to take cover. He rolled behind an out-jutting wall and blindfired down the hall, sending yet more of the endless stream of ammunition down the enemy mercs' throats.

 

[sage42]

"Understood." Sal said turning to the second door. She typed furiously at the console. "C'mon almost there.....got it!" She said as the doors slid open.

 

[axle 19]

Raven moved as rapidly as he could through the dangerously well lit club. He's probably above me most likely on a catwalk just waiting for me to expose myself so he can eliminate me since I'm a threat. Not good odds for me are they? Readying his biotic energy, he charged straight across the open area of the dance floor to the first floor of the office, passing the area where Esten had been sent flying. Bastard will pay for that. Charging a second time, he leapt out of the second floor window of the office to land on the catwalk, using his shredder to suppress his enemy so he wouldn't be tagged. At least we're on the same level now.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Vance:

Vance fired a few shots as he saw Raven charge to the office, and then towards the catwalks. He was able to hit his shields a few times, but when he saw the Shredder being weilded by him, dropped for behind some of the club's lights.

He knew he wouldn't be able to get Raven from the front, or else the Shredder would tear him in two.

Have to surprise him.

He looked down at the floor underneath him.

Perfect...

He grabbed the railing of the catwalk and swung under it, falling to the floor beneath him. Before he could hit it though, he charged once more, sending himself flying through one of the nearby bar counters.

Just have to make him lose sight of me for long enough, then I can strike.
