white walls.  The group moved quickly through, soon coming to an intersection.“Left, go left!” Jaya blurted out to those in front of her.  As they turned the corner, a door at the end of the hall slid open and number of human-sized metal beings rolled through it eight in total.  In a computerized, monotone voice, the lead robot ordered, “Cease and desist this escape attempt.  Failure to comply will necessitate the use of force to ensure…”“Comply this, you pile of scrap!” Sam shouted, as she leapt through he air, her form changing as she did.  Long, razor-sharp claws shot out from her knuckles and she slashed deep gouges in the lead robots armor, causing tiny sparks to fly.  The robot spun to meet the charge, a pair of wires shooting out from its mid-section.  Sam barely jumped out of the way of the attack, landing as the wires fell and zipped back into the robot almost as quickly as they were released.“Stick by me, doc, I gotcher’ six,” Tyrone said, grasping Jaya’s shoulder.  As he did, the air rippled a few inches out from around both of them for a moment.  He raised his other arm up and a large wave shot out from him, striking another robot in the head, causing it some damage and nearly knocking it over.  He looked down behind her and added with a grin, “and a nice, tight six it be, too, girl.”Sarah aimed a hand at a different target, and moved it in an upward motion.  The robot she pointed at began to rise in the air until it touching the ceiling.  The machine swiveled its head her way and raised its own arm, firing a laser blast that struck her in the shoulder.  She gasped in pain and lost her concentration, causing the robot to fall to the floor, prone.Aaron, still feeling the effects of the drugs administered to him earlier, appeared somewhat shaken at the events.  But he quickly steadied himself, and his body was suddenly covered in flames.  Rising a few feet off the floor, he flew forward and shot a stream of flame from his hands at the robot Tyrone had damaged.  It made little sound as it fell over, half-slag and smoking.Before he could even smile at his handiwork, however, another robot shot its laser back at Aaron.  It struck him full in the chest, sending him reeling back into the wall, where he fell, slouched over and no longer moving.Kiro, seeing this, jumped forth, a golden light covering his body.  As he leapt forward, his arm shot out and a bright, sword-shaped object that looked to be made entirely of light sprung forth from nowhere into his hand.  He brought the light-blade down on a robot, carving it nearly in two.  It gave off a shower of sparks as it fell over.As Kiro landed, another robot shot at him with its laser weapon.  The blast struck him in the leg, but it didn’t appear to harm him.At the same time, Minotaur charged forward.  He ran to the nearest robot and grabbed him.  The robot shot its twin wires at the beast, which struck him in the shoulder.  A powerful jolt of electricity shot through into him, causing him to howl.  Angry, he picked the robot up, and swinging it by its head, smashed it down on the robot that lay prone from Sarah’s attack.  The two collided, causing a small explosion.  Bits of metal flew everywhere.Miguel watched as Minotaur attacked.  “Hey, that looks like fun,” he said, concentrating on the beast.  As he did, he began to change form, from that of Dr. McDermott, into that of another Minotaur, though far less massive.  He charged forward, his head down and crashed into the robot that Sam had hit.  One of his horns impaled the machine, which caused it to sputter into stillness.  Miguel tried to remove himself from the robot, but couldn’t, his horn stuck in the machines torso.  “Aw, man, this sucks.  Little help?”Jaya, witnessing the carnage around her, winced.  She looked at Tyrone.  “We need to finish this,” she said.  Her eyes gained a swirling sheen, like pools of mercury.  Tyrone began to glow a similar color.“Whoa, what are you doing to me?” Tyrone shouted.Jaya frowned impatiently at him.  “Come on, I said let’s finish this!”Tyrone aimed at one of the remaining robots and shot a wave of kinetic energy at it.  The wave seemed much larger than the last, knocking the robot back into the wall and crushing it into pieces.  “I’m super-charged!  Right on!” he exclaimed with a grin.One of the remaining robots turned towards Samantha, and fired a small object at her that burst open to reveal a net.  Sam spun and summersault back-flipped over the flying net, landing on the robot’s shoulders.  She then jammed both sets of her claws into its metal head and pulled her hands apart, causing another shower of sparks to erupt from the now destroyed machine.The final robot charged forward.  “Cease and desist!” it demanded.  “Cease and de…” before it could finish, Kiro swung his sword around slicing the robot’s head clean off its body.As the last robot fell, Jaya ran over to Aaron’s slumped over form.  She knelt beside him and checked his vitals.“Is he okay?” Tyrone asked, still giving off a silvery glow.“He’s alive,” she said relieved, “but he’s pretty badly hurt.  Minotaur, can you carry him?” she asked.Minotaur rolled his eyes.  “Yeah, whatever.”  He effortlessly lifted the boy off the ground and cradled him in one massive arm.  “Damn kid.”Miguel, now in his own form and no longer stuck, looked at Sarah.  “You gonna be okay?”“Yeah, I’m fine, let’s just get out of here,” she said in response, her face showing some discomfort.Kiro moved towards the door and thrust his light sword through the control panel, and a small explosion erupted from it.  Minotaur, using his unburdened left hand, grabbed the edge of the door and pulled it open.  “Ladies first,” he said to Kiro with a smirk.</blockquote>
