The bullet tore through Scorch's forehead, exiting out of the back of it and killing the man instantly.
Just as instantly, he was brought back to life by his Ghost, causing him to laugh like a mad man.
The tentacle grabbed one of the pods, which detonated in the beasts hand, revealing to have been full of explosives.
The six remaining pods landed on the surface, Noble, Scorch and Serendipity stepping out.
"NOW!" Noble yelled, Scorch throwing a grenade to the ground, which exploded a created a cloud of smoke.
The trio ran out of the smoke, cloaked for the time being, and ran towards the entrance.

The tentacle moved back, then stabbed out in annoyance, missing badly. It flew back, before slamming into the ground, looking down at the smoke The landing zone was a huge, open area. It was a shiny metal, which was extremely slippery. Multiple Mechs and robots ran forward, all looking extremely powerful and well....futuristic. The weaponry they held was all plasma or laser based. The exception was the Overseer. They all aimed at the smoke cloud and started lighting it up, one pulling a launcher and firing multiple missiles at it
-
With the group having already left the smoke clouds, the pods exploded outwards and sent outwards dozens of pieces of shrapnel and metal. The trio ran into the entrance, hiding inside the base itself in the shadows of the rooms and crawling through the place slowly.
-
Multiple patrols would pass you, calling out different orders. Eventually, the drones from before flew through, trying to find you. Around ten grouped up, then froze in the air. Lights started flickering, then turned red. Their attention turned towards the group's area, and weapons primed. A patrol noticed this, and aimed down that corridor too. They were ready to fire. A vent was halfway opened, probably by a previous group.
-
Noble quickly pulled the vent from its place in the wall using his enhanced strength Abilities. The trio moved into the vent, with Noble placing the cover of the vent back where it was, the trio going through the vent.
-
The vent you dropped into was huge. A small Quad could drive through and be fine. Speaking of, it sounded as if something was driving or crawling around inside it
-
"This place is creepy as hell." Scorch said with a dry laugh, taking point and going through the vent. "And I've been in the Hellmouth." "Course you have, Guardian." Serendipity teased, following behind Scorch as the trio went through the vent.
-
As they would continue through, they would hear the crawling getting louder. The pace was quite fast too, almost as if something was running around it. Then some slams and more movement sounds. Something was tracking them, which was confirmed by the loud mechanical roar. Some quiet voices could also be heaed, mentioning something about commandos and "The Spider Chaser?"
-
Scorch raised his auto rifle into his hand, pointing the barrel around the vent while Noble moved towards an exit, looking for a way out.
-
The unfortunate thing was there was no exits except above them, and that was at least 8 feet in the air. The issue became trying to open them and the walls being extremely smooth yet hard, making them impossible to climb. A robot ran past thsm, stomping across quite fast. Then it stopped, turning around and facing you. It had 8 legs, four in the front and four in the back. On top was a plasma minigun and on its sides were two heavy plasma cannons. This was the supposed "Spider Chaser" [i]Overseer, they were here like you said they would. Permission to kill?...copy[/i]
-
"Not on my watch..." Scorch reached his hand into the air, a golden gun forming in it as he quickly pointed it at the beast, firing three shots into its guns. The power of the sun would no doubt disintegrated guns, or perhaps worse.
-
When the smoke cleared, it was gone. Yet, the ash it should've produced was miniscule. Only a couple particles at most. What was more noticeable was the dent marks on the ground, like it jumped Sure enough, the robot fell from the ceiling, smashing Scorch straight through the floor. It stabbed one of its legs through his chest, and an energy looked to flow into it. [i]Analysis: Guardian, Immortal unless you kill entity called "Ghost" Then drain light. Objective: Kill ghost and drain light.[/i] It then took another leg, aiming for the head
-
Scorch transmitted behind Serendipity and Noble, rising up from the ground and coughing loudly as he stretched out. "Ah. So you want to play it that way?" He asked with a chuckle, as Serendipity and Noble moved to the sides of the vent, passing by the spider. "Bring it." He said, reaching to his hip and drawing a knife, dashing forward towards the spider, disappearing from view for a moment.
-
[i]Play We shall. Thermal Scans active, Stealth systems engaged, laser vent defense grid active.[/i] The thing went invisible, as the vents became shut in by lasers. Escape became impossible, you would have to kill the robot Serendipity would be picked up and thrown, causing the cloaking systems to go offline. It would then aim it's plasma minigun at noble, firing on them
-
Serendipity crashed into the wall, slumping downwards into a sitting position. Noble however, used his thruster pack to dodge to the side, avoiding the plasma fire and firing three bursts of his Battle rifle at the Spider. For Scorch, all he needed was to see the thing. And as he did, he jumped upwards, slamming the Arc Blade into the Spider's head, attempting to fry it's systems.
-
[i]Electricity is my favorite! THANK YOU, NOW DIE![/i] The robot started sapping the lightning from the arcblade, almost powering up more. It would throw off scorch before charging at him, an electro field surrounding it [i]HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAGDKFORHMEUCBSKAIFNRHDUSBDDIEJLFIENDLDHDK[/i]
-
"Shit!" Scorch said, releasing the knife and jumping off, stopping the flow of electricity into it. "Great job!" Noble yelled, taking a few steps back and continuing his shooting. Scorch shook his head, before pulling a shotgun out and firing at beast.
-
It almost seemed that the bullets bounced off, the electricity throwing rounds back at scorch and noble. The guns were thrown off, and huge explosions detonated near them. It seemed this wouldn't give up The armor was quite heavy. Ballistic weapons would have a hard time piercing it, even if the shield was down [i]I AM INVINCIBLE, I AM UNION, I AM DEATH, I AM HERETIC, I AM....[/i] And on and on.
-
"Scorch, your sniper!" Noble said, looking towards the Hunter, who nodded. The Guardian drew a Thousand Yard Stare with armour piercing rounds, aiming at the beast and taking a single shot to test its effectiveness. [spoiler]And yes, this is prior to the Cabal attack on the city.[/spoiler]
-
The shot pierced the shield, made a small dent, then bounced back at scorch. This shot then disintegrated from the shield. However, the robot got moved slightly, and one of its legs got sliced a small amount by the laser grid [i]ARGH, OW OW OW[/i] An eye came from the top of it, and a laser came from that, repairing the leg as another leg came up and put scorch into a stasis field. Another leg then came up after that, aiming at scorch
-
The sniper was transmitted, dropping to the ground in front of Noble, who promptly picked it up and fired two rounds. One at either of the legs.
-
The first missed, failing to connect with the stasis leg. However, the second managed to pierce the other leg, causing it to be blown from its socket.....Serendipity. The shot flung the legs aim so it would fly at her [i]JUST DIE[/i] Keeping the stasis leg up, it turtle shelled and started spinning around the area, the field still on
-
Noble quickly thrusted towards the leg, and it caught him in the left hip, coming to a halt inside his body as he stumbled into the wall. He grunted, dropping the sniper magazine to the ground and reloading, firing off the three rounds towards the robot. The first two were aimed for the body of the spider, the third aimed for the stasis field.
-
The robot ducked, causing the first two shots to miss. However, the third shot got very close to the field generator, barely failing to hit due the field. An opening came from the ceiling, and a turret came down, priming to fire on noble. It seemed to be laser based, not ballistic
-
"...move." Serendipity said behind Noble, causing the Spartan to duck to the side as Serendipity fired a single heavy, armour piercing shot from her Carnifex at the turret that had appeared.
-
The shot caused the turret to go haywire. It would start to spin out of control, firing all over the place. Multiple shots would hit the stasis field but would do nothing. The turret also pelted the robot, which damaged it's armor considerably. The stasis field would drop, and it would jump at the turret, pulling it off and throwing it at the team
