((Im adlibbing the exact security layout as I dont know it. Forgive the artistic license))
We flew for days. Even as the crow (or the robot in this case) flies, it still takes a while to get to Kentucky going 35 mph. Times like this I regret not slotting her flight powers, but at the time, her attacks were more important. I mean, it was a game and all.
Flame has never been the best conversationalist, and thats my fault. It didnt help now. I had DAYS of quiet which I cannot STAND. Before this incident, I ALWAYS had to have some form of background noise on. Music, TV, someone talking, SOMETHING. But this this was disturbing. I mentioned before the lack of human body noise, and that was even worse. I had no heartbeat or anything to focus on. I slept a couple times during the trip, but I knew we kept going.
For her part of the trip, Flame was mostly on autopilot. Literally. We did land a few times for Flame to recharge somehow. I wasnt sure how that works. I hadnt thought of how she regained her endurance, so I wasnt sure how it worked. I wasnt even sure her dark energy powers would work. The Cities world seemed to have different laws of physics where stuff there worked different than here. Or at least, it seemed that way.
We arrived early Tuesday morning after flying the last couple hours barely over the treetops. She landed lightly a couple miles away in the woods. Walking to the edge of the forest line, we could see a large open field, multiple large buildings, and what looked like a practice field for tanks maybe? Some vehicle with tracks instead of wheels at least. The fields had a double layer of fence around it, with the usual barbed wire and cameras. Flame scanned the perimeter and saw guards positioned along the fence.
Eh, not that dangerous. What do you know about it, worm? Flame asked me.
{Other than it being one of the main training locations for tanks in the US? Not much more than that..} I was learning it was just easier to answer her with a partial truth. I wasnt sure what she could do to me if she was really angry.
Tanks? Thats all? Pfft. Those things are slower than Malta titans. Not a problem! She grinned again.
I saw the following flash along the bottom our field of vision
-- THERMAL LIFT SYSTEM ACTIVATED --
-- THERMAL DEFLECTION SHIELD ACTIVATED --
-- PLASMA DEFLECTION SHIELD ACTIVATED --
-- THERMAL PROJECTION SYSTEM ACTIVATED --
-- BE WARNED - HUMAN CONTACT AT THESE TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE PHYSICAL HARM. PLEASE REFRAIN YOUR CONTACT TO DISPOSABLE WASTE --
The grass at our feet flash burned.
I was confused by the next line of text I saw.
_(@#KJLAWPLMHULKASNDOPOER!*^/.!
I was about to ask what that one meant, and then I saw it. The dark purple swirls gather around her hands, flecked with sparks of fire. I wasnt religious, but I said a small prayer for the soldiers stationed here.
We charged forward, sliding along a cushion of superheated air. One of the guards was attentive and caught sight of us and started shouting. We were quite a way away, but Flames hearing systems filters and amplified it.
Youve entered a restricted area! Stop now or I WILL use lethal force! Thats what youd expect someone to say. I give the guy credit, he held his ground, with a giant flaming ball sliding towards him.
Flame didnt give him credit. Hell, she didnt even give him a second thought. She kept going.
He began to fire his rifle at us.
