F.P.P.A. (IC)

[HollowOfHaze]

As the detonation prompt sounded, Galen shifted back to his previous form to minimize the explosion's purchase on him. His shield, regenerated during his shift and depleted immediately, halted any trauma, but not the resulting momentum. Flaring his wings to decrease speed before slamming into an adjacent wall, the battle-skin's crystaline mesh stiffened to absorb and redirect the impact and any residual blast force. Galen stuck well into the white walls, now plastered with ash and dust, before falling to the floor.


"**censor**." he groaned, joints cracking and alarms blaring through his audio feed as his shields counted down to another regen period.


That took care of the suit, as well as a good portion of this corridor's structure. Taking a moment to let his inner ear equalize to the point of being able to stand, he continued back down the hallway, looking for any potential aggressors. He spotted the mantis, giving it a good glare as he advanced towards it, sidearm and blade at the ready.

Blackout rushed out of the blast door, by the way taking what was left of powersuit's left arm, mostly for the grappling hook, and headed to nearest maintenance room with roof access.

[Angder]

Centipede watches Blackout dash past, and continued limping, slowly but surely it left the room.

A group of 3 security guards emerge ahead of Japathok. "Hey! One of 'em is here!" "125! Quick, we need to secure it!" The three approach weapons drawn, ready to fire if they have to.

[The Past]

Japathok pushed herself up and backed up a bit. She preferred not to use her gift, but if she must...

She roared, and electricity bolted from her body toward the guards.

[Angder]

The Guards all panic and fire, a barrage of supposedly non-lethal ammo is shot with fairly poor accuracy at Japathok from the guard's assault rifles.

The bolt collides with 2 of the gaurds, and sends them sprawling, the third ducks to cover.

[Farewell]

Zaida screeched wanting out, she looked around her cell frantically. "There must be a way out..." She growled seeing the vent... She couldn't fit but if she just snapped a few bones there was surely a way to get through.
She hissed her eyes glowing brightly, digging her claws on the walls or tried sliding a bit but began to climb up, struggling but grew close to the vent leaving scratches and a bit of her black blood smeared across some parts.

[The Past]

Japathok attempted to dodge out of the way and run past the guards as soon as she released her attack, but one of the shots hit her on her rear side. She roared and fought through the pain as she continued to flee.

[Angder]

The lone remaining guard fired at the bear as it fled. "COME BACK! DAMN IT! COME BACK NOW!!" Swearing, the gaurd crouches by his dead friends, and checks their pulses, one of them was dead. He radios ahead "Seal the northern entrance, you have 125 on her way, I repeat, you have a giant **censor** lightning BEAR on route, SEAL THAT GOD-DAMN ENTRANCE!"

[HollowOfHaze]

Watching as two smoking bodies careened through an intersecting corridor, Galen changed objectives, considering the ease of captuing the mantis a second time in these confines afterwards.
Skidding past the remaining guard before continuing his pursuit of the bear he had seen earlier, he ran at speed, sidearm readied if the animal proved hostile.

[Angder]

Centipede limps forward, and collapses. passed out on the floor. its worth noting that its front right leg was virtually gone.

[The Past]

Japathok continued running toward the northern entrance, panting, even more exhausted from using her power. She rammed into the sealed door, desperately trying to break through.

[HollowOfHaze]

Galen noticed that the bear has reached the end of the hallway, blocked by another blast door. Starting a sprint towards the bear, he carried his hardlight blade in one hand, and a blue haze in the other. He would secure this facility.

[The Past]

Japathok panicked, knowing she was about to be caught. She charged and shot electricity at the door in hopes it would break it somehow.

[HollowOfHaze]

Projecting a tendril of mist towards the bear to allow speech, Galen asked the bear "So what is your motive?" as he progressed further.

[The Past]

Japathok, with the rest of her energy spent, collapsed. She feared to tell Galen the truth. It could mean harm to her loved ones.

"My... My home... my family," she admitted. "I must return to them..."
