Red Commissar shooked his head as he checked the inside of another pod.
"Zis one iz also dead. Zis is not good news at all Sean man. I vhink all of zem might be dead..."
Red Commissar scanned the room carefully all of a sudden, unslinging his AR from his shoulder behind the cape, having a sudden feeling something was going to happen.
Rik had made his way to the side wall and was leaning on it , seeming both relaxed and at the same time deep in thought ...
Mr Lumps and become still as a rock beside Rik ....
" can we help them or not Sean .. we need to move forward ..."
Sean's Group
Sean looked over at Red then around the room, spotting the control console on the far side. Quickly making his way over to it while calling out "First job is getting these people out.. then we move to Assasion ok?"
With that said he stopped and looked about, his visor screen seem to flash between the modes and scroll up with data.
"Red.. you got a sixth sense or something?" Sean chuckled as he came to the Control Console.
There infront of him was the console with the three screens which hang down from the ceiling and keyboards for each on the console itself, with one part with had a dail and three slider bars. The screens seem to be showing up the rooms, and the rows of pods, mostly blue or green with the seven red ones which showed they were not working anymore.
"Right this looks like the controls for the pods.. so whats this thing... a teleporter control.. of some kind it looks like." Sean muttered into the mic.
Molly's Group
Ahead was the lift area, appox 6ft by 9 ft room with the Lift doors and the buttons infront of them, to the left was one other corridor and the right had two corridors, as well as a door.
Shutting off her boots, Molly skidded to a halt upon landing and looked around, slinging her rifle over her shoulder.
"Hmmm... which way now..."
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
Catz skidded to a halt beside Molly and looked either way "I vote Lift." She looked down either corridor and rubbed the back of her neck "Unless we're going to be stuck on the same floor... Could be something handy behind those doors."
Molly's Group
Coms bot looked at the lift then the corridors.
"I too would suggest the lift, it goes up to the command deck area if I remember the floor plan correctly." Coms bot said before walking upto the lift doors and pressing the -up- button.
Molly took a few steps toward the lift doors, raising her rifle at them in the event there was trouble coming via that as well.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Sean's Group
Sean paused for a moment staring down at the control panel them to the hanging down screens, hovering his hands over them ready to start randomly pressing buttons if he had to to figure out how it work.
"Right.. if it's is a transporter then.. thats the co ords inputs.. thats the power on and off.. and thats the slider for the port.. so whats the dial?" Sean muttered looking around him.
Suddenly there was a low hum before the whole place seem to shift downwards a few feet then the feeling of that in a lift as it speeds upwards happend, Sean grabbed the control console tighly.
"Guys.. what the hell.. we moving again?" Sean blunted out as he quickly tapped on the keyboard.
Before anyone could answer Sean quickly muttered into the mic " right.. forget I asked.. if we are moving then just need to set this thing to port downwards to ground level and hey pessto the pods would be outer here.
With that said he quickly made the adjustments he could and slid the slider up to fully then down again. The pods suddenly were eneveloped in a flashes of light then were gone, all but the seven cracked dead ones that was.
((The shift and pressure change would of effected the whole fortress, and the flash would be for those in the room quite bright.))
The sudden shift and pressure change was enough to stir Next Dimension, as he came round with a gasp of air.
Aching, he rolled over onto his front and pushed himself up to his knees. Clicking his nexk and his fingers, he stood up and looked round. Reaching for his communicator, he found that it was missing.
He looked at the path they had been taking and marched off towards it.
((due to lack of posts and the fact I really want this over shortly.. heres a small helping hand for everyone.))
Sean's group
Sean blinked in his visor then glanced around the hanging screens to just see the last effects of the flashes. As he did a low whirling noise sounded as the whole place seem to shift again.
"Wow.. ok.. whats going on now then?" Sean muttered stepping away from the control console and looking towards the rest of the group in the room, then to Next Dimension as he entered to room. "Oh good your up and about."
Suddenly the lights in the room flickered and changed to red as a siren went off ehcoing around the room for a few moments before shutting off.
"Erm.. thats not good.. " Sean muttered as a droning whirl filled the room, "Guys, move i-"
Seans voice was cut off has he was eneveloped by the same flash of light the pods had been sent away in, as was everyone else in the room.
Molly's Group
Coms looked about suddenly as the room seem to shift for a moment, "I do believe we are moving upwards again.. and from what I can tell quite fast." Coms bot said before looking towards Molly and Catz.
The lights above the lift doors showed the lift was almost there, only a floor two floors up from them, but before they had chance to move a whirling hum echoed from around them as a bright flash filled the room.
Bots rushed into the lift area only to be met by the lift doors opening and the dieing whirling of the flashes, The three who were there were nowhere to be seen.
((Thats right, It's a transport system of sorts, it's unresistanable so EVERYONE would be transported to the location which is said.))
Assasion's Lab room.
The room with the three empty pods from before suddenly filled with the bright flashes of the Transport folder system, leaving those transported standing the a line infront of the three pods facing towards them, and able to see in the back area Gemme laying on the lab bed with the machine which had Timothy wired into it just the other side of it.
Both Gemme and Timothy were out cold, and could clearly be seen to be quite hurt and bloody.
"Welcome to my private lab Foolish Heroes of Paragon.. and friends of Sean O'Brain.. Trust us you are most unwelcome guests here." Assasion's Voice sounded before behind them as a light switched on as him sitting on a large metal throne rose up from the floor and stopped giving off a small hiss of compressed air.
Riks voice cut the air like a chainsaw "hey guys look it is Mr [censored] , ..and as for unwelcome , baby you aint seen nuffink yet .."
Mr Lumps step out of nothingness to stand behind Rik , the stone figure seemed to peer over its shoulder as look to where Tim and Gemma lay , the stone hands flexed and locked them selves into fists ...
Rik face had taken on a frowm , to him self the mumbled " just this once , come let me ,just him .."
Riks arm shot out .." one thing i cant be having ,thats a [censored] flying on its own gases .." (( snow storm ))
Molly blinked at first as she found herself elsewhere without even moving a muscle, before frantically looking around.
"Hey, what the?" The genius muttered. As soon as she saw Gemma and Timothy, she shut up immediately and cringed.
The sudden voice promted the girl to swing around immediately, pointing her rifle in Assassion's direction as he showed himself, but keeping her finger off the trigger until he finished blathering on.
And then rolled her eyes when Rik went at him straight away.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
Red Commissar stood quickly into the shadows as he shook his head getting his bearings, making sure Assassion and the others weren't not noticing he, moved his hand to a well hidden button in belt and pressed it, shimmering out quietly out of view. The button also sent a secret transmission towards Seans visor.
Sean glanced about still a little dazed from the sudden tranport that they had went through, when his eyes saw both Gemme and Tim, his body language changed completely has he heard Assasions voice below out.
"You Son of a.." Sean blunted out before seeing the message from Red scroll onto his visor.
Has Riks attack neared the sitting Assasion it seem to just stop dead against a force field that seem to be blocking off that part of the room.
"Did you really think I would not be perpared for such a thing you idiotic hero?" Assasion growled has he got up and pointed behind the group.
Suddenly a yelp of pain could be heard as Gemme and Tim seem to recoil from something, leaving Assasion to laugh then grin stareing down at the heroes.
Comsbot stepped up and looked at the force field for a moment "Sean, it's connected into a matrix tranpoder system linked directly into the ships power systems as well as Miss Gemme and Timothy."
Catz kept quiet in the background behind the others, arms folded not moving an inch. Simply waiting until the correct moment for her to do what she does best..
Smash things.
"well we learn by doing , " Rik walked up to the force field , and seem to stare into nothingness , he became quiet and with out the smallest of motion .
Assasion took a few steps forwards from his throne and opening his arms spoke.
"Now you bunch of misfit idiotic halfwitted so called heroes of Paragon City, there is two I want you to met before they rip you into bits." Assasion grinned evily before turning every so slightly to his left, "Allow the first to be my wife, Cyber-Widow."
As he spoke down from the ceiling dropped Cyber-Widow, her body covered with a black and red suit much like that of Seans however it appeared to be directly fused into her skin and parts were missing show her grey flesh of her normal skin. Her face looked very much like Gemme's apart from the cybernic implant on the left side, replacing her eye with that of one like the bots and three wires coming from the metal plate and heading into her hair. Her red dark red hair seem to be twisted and parts seemed to be made from wires, the same colour as her hair colour.
As she stood up fully and walked to be by Assasion's side it was clear her shoes protected out blades bene sliding back in as did her fingers as she flexed them infront of her face, grinning down at them.
"Ah my Dear.. as wonderful as always, now for the other.. our son.. MasterMode.." Assasion said proudly throwing his right arm out to point to a his throne side.
There from behind it from a blurred semi cloaked form came MasterMode, a tall muscale man in what appeared to be his early 20's wearing a armour padded suit which was grey and dark red in colour much like the colours of the Elite guard bots, his hair covered by a helmet and the rest of his face in plain sight.
He seemed to be human with his skin the pale pink like any person however as he grinned it was clear he was far from human, his teeth were metal and his crimson red eyes flashed as he walked upto Assasion's right side. His fists glowed for a moment as energy plused into him and his gloves hissed.
"Now.. allow us to show what we do to tresspassers in my lab." Assasion demanded as he walked down the few steps from his throne leading Cyber-Widow and MasterMode upto the froce field.
"Party time..." Molly muttered as she pulled a couple of tiny red blocks from beneath the pad of her right glove, and immediately slid them into a small slot in the side of her rifle ((Enrage Insps >_>
). A short noise, not unlike a mashup of buzzing and ringing sounded from the rifle as she then proceeded to lift the sight up to eye level and pointed it at the trio.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
There was a click and then from seeming out of nowhere in the shadows at the edge of the forcefield an explosive tripmine was skillfully thrown just before Assasion foot emerged from through the forcefield, loud bleeding indicating that it was on full proximity alert.
((loud bleeding?!?))
Assasion looked down as he spoke "Party time.. hardly this will be a blo-" But he was cut off by the tripmine explosing, yet again another set of yells of pain came from the far side of the room behind the heroes.
As they did Cyber widow depolyed her blades on both her feet and her fingers before leaping onto the ceiling and stareing down just behind the force field.
MasterMode took up a battle stance before he seem to start to disappear back into a cloak, his fists glowing fading away as they merged into the cloak.
Assasion stumbled back a little before growling "Right.. my family.. Kill them all!" as he did the force field seem to flux and fold around him forming around him only and allowing the other two into the space where the heroes where.
"Guys brace your sel-" Sean shouted but was cut off before he could finish by Coms bots jumping infront of him holding up a bit of the floor panel to block a blow from the cloaked MasterMode, who came visable for only a few secounds while the recoil from the hit rippled back into him.
"Sean I suggest moving and allowing me to deal with that new type bot, I can see where he is." Coms bot said lowering the floor panel just enough to peer over the up of it to scan the room.
Cyber-Widow crawled over the ceiling like a spider before slashing down at those below her with her claw like finger nails.
Taking a gash across the face, Next Dimensions eyes grew bright and he began to unleash waves of white energy at the crawling target.
With the waves of white energy heading for Cyber-widow she quickly tried to dodge the imcoming pulses but couldn't miss them all which knocked her down from the ceiling leaving her danging by her left leg blade which was still sticking into ceiling.
Coms bot glanced over his shoulder quickly to notice Sean glancing towards Red then to the cells holding Gemme and Tim, before getting a smack to it's chest from the cloak MasterMode.
"That.. would of hurt if I had the sense of feeling." Coms bot said composing itself again.
Glancing about looking for MasterMode, it's eyes switched to an infrared vision mode to scan the area of the room before fixing his veiw on the cloaked form of his target.
"Hey.. I see you.." Coms bot said running and landing a punch onto MasterMode which made it's cloak flicker for a few moments. "Now let us see what you think about having this bot body smack you for a change."
((Ok after this short break we have had it's time to finish this thing so please last big battle and you can post up the responses and actions of MasterMode/Assasion/Cyber-widow if you want to.))
Rik blured ((steamy mist)) and sped across to the dangling Cyber-Widow , drawing up mattter to encase her ((fossilize)) Rik unleashed a barrage of fist ((flurry + sands of Mu + hasten )) ... and called over Mr Lumps to add to the pummeling ....
Catz dropped the armour for a moment, the stones rolling along the ground and disappearing as she caught up in a sprint "I'll be fine. Can switch back quickly anyway.... Atleast if we're going to run into more resistance."
