Shadow:
Three of the soldiers quickly turn and fire with the ringing thunder of large rounds. The bullets plunge through your body and clang around the room before burying themselves in the unfortunate and now very broken computer banks.
“Hold your fire.”
The sharp bark of the governor rings through the bunker. Turning her sharp shrewd gaze on you, you can’t help but shiver as she dissects you with her eyes.
“There have been five distinct voices outside, one of them claims to be Billy the Kid. All of the voices are male. Before they destroyed the camera outside we saw a…”
WHAM!
The door shook from the impact.
“large beast of some sort and what looked like a traditionally dressed Native American. There were other shapes behind them.”
WHAM!
The door shuddered again.
“Where is the rest of your team? We don’t have much time”
As your face clears the door you can’t help but flinch as a fist slams into the door only inches from your face. As the man removes his hand from the door you can see that the metal had almost molded to his hand.
“Shadow man on this side” the owner of the first calls over his shoulder to the others. His muscles bulge in his sleek black clothes as he rears back to deliver a strike to your face.
In the corridor stand five figures at the end of the hall you see Phoenix’s fiery form.

Phoenix:
Without a pause you push yourself over the railing and down the stairs. Five floors blur past as you streak out the open door at the bottom of the hallway and find your self in a long hallway of sterile metallic walls.
…
“Did you ever wonder, champ, why the government makes everything look like a prison?” The other lab assistant, a guy that looked like he was the dictionary definition of geeky scientist, calmly walked by your side.
The two of you walked down the hall waved a greeting at the heavily armed and armored marines that stood guard at the end of the hall. A quick swipe of your cards, lock code entry, and retinal scans and you were into the seat of the living flame.
It was four days before the accident.
…
“I’m telling you.” A young baritone came from a man dressed as a cowboy, complete with bandana over his mouth and six guns strapped to his legs.
WHAM!
The stone figure leaning on the wall across from him, his beer belly bouncing, chuckled in response. His laughter was cut short as his eyes fell on your blazing form.
“Company.”
Three other figures looked up from their work on the large metal circle that was the door. A large creature covered in snow-white hair with large ram horns sprouting from its temples, foot long claws on each finger, and jutting fangs overshadowed a man in a full Native American head dress and buffalo skins, his face covered with war paint. The last figure standing by the door was an oriental man in loose black pants and a sleeveless black shirt.
The glowing trail of Lightspeed arrived next to you in the doorway. An almost symmetric blast of energy appeared on your left as a glowing blue field sprung up around the familiar black helmeted form.
“Nice of you guys to show up.” The helmet couldn’t muffle Banjax’s typical sarcasm.
OOC: See bottom of post for exact location and initiative.
Longhorn:
WHAM!
You pass down the hallway as quickly as you can, your booted feet sounding dull against the plush carpeting. You tear through the foyer and down the hall towards the team. The silence is deafening. The tremors had stopped.
