Rounds from the guards assault rifle towards us and began to slow down as the got closer.
As we charged forward to meet the rounds, they exploded as they hit the wall of superheated air Flame was generating. More and more rounds flew at us, and a
couple managed to get through the barrier, but they simply bounced off her metallic frame. Flame grinned as she charged her fist with energy.
I was trying to stop myself from getting excited. I knew what we were doing was wrong,
but I couldn't help myself. Being able to get into a situation like this and know that we're probably gonna stomp across the competition was
enchanting. I had to try to get Flame to calm down.
{Why not just use a martial arts style yell as we charge?} I said with as much sarcasm as
I could fit into my voice. I don't think she bought it.
We closed the last space between us and the guard, and Flame let fly a right hook charged
with the energy of the Underworld.
To say he went down like a sack of rocks was an understatement. He flew back and a loud
unf escaped his mouth. Flame quickly grabbed his rifle and melted the barrel before throwing it back down to the ground. We continued on the way to the closest
building.
Someone else must have seen us because an alarm was raised. Soon I imagined the entire
base would come down on our heads. She didn't seem to care though. We reached the building and Flame begain smashing her way through the wall, using her
fire and negative energy to disrupt the structural integrity of the wall as she pounded on the wall with her fists.
The section of the wall collapsed and we rushed in. I saw tanks. Lots of tanks. And lots
of people trying to man those tanks, getting them ready for whatever was on the base. I doubt they were being mobilized yet. Flame charged in and started
pounding her way through tank crew members, burning some and using her fists on others. I was appalled with the wounds she was causing. This world just was not
meant to handle this. She kept up her assault, stopping briefly to ruin each tank by melting its treads to its frame.
She heard the whine before I did and snapped her head around. One of the turrets had
turned towards us. They had, wisely I guess, to sacrifice their own tanks to stop us. A shell was fired at us.
Flame grinned and snapped her fingers. Tentacles reached up from... somewhere and grabbed
the shell in mid-flight. They caressed the shell for a moment before pulling it along with them as they returned to where they came from. Flame...
laughed. She outright laughed. I think she was having
fun. A blast of red electricity flew from her hands and covered
the tank. I'm not sure what happened, but smoke started coming from the bank of the tank and the crew clambered out, smoke flowing out of the
hatch.
A column of lightning came down through the roof, bringing along with it one of the Mu.
Sirrocco owed Flame a large favor, and had granted her limited use of some of his forces. "Finish taking out these tanks for me. I've got larger
things in mind.
*Yes, Mistress* the Mu "said."
There is no coincidence, only necessity....
