Message: <blockquote data-quote="Agamon" data-source="post: 1079660" data-attributes="member: 184">As Krio sprang through the door, he stopped suddenly looking out before him.  In a large area that looked like lobby, nearly two-dozen guards stood facing him, each training an assault rifle or handgun in his direction.  As Minotaur began to squeeze through the doorway, one of the guards shouted, “Stop, or we’ll shoot!  Surrender now!  Lay down with your hands behind your heads immediately!”“They gotta be kidding,” Minotaur said with a smirk.Kiro glanced at the large man.  “Minotaur, do not forget the boy.”“Oh, yeah.  Damn,” he said looking down at Aaron.“Do it!  Now!” the guard shouted.“Doctor, can you help me like you did Tyrone?” Sarah asked Jaya, both standing in the doorway.“Of course,” Jaya replied.  She grasped Sarah’s arm, her eyes becoming like liquid metal once more, and Sarah began to glow with a silvery aura.Sarah nodded, “Good, I’ve never tried this before.” She began to concentrate, staring out amongst the armed men.  Suddenly, all of the men cried out in unison, dropping their guns, clutching their heads and screaming.  Then they all fell to the floor, unconscious.Sarah gripped the doorway, her legs giving way beneath her.  Jaya and Tyrone were there to catch her before she fell.  She steadied herself as trickle of blood dripped from her nose.“Daaaamn, girl.  Remind me never to piss you off,” Tyrone said, looking Sarah up and down.Jaya gave Sarah a quick inspection.  “Are you okay, Sarah?”  Sarah nodded.  “Good,” Jaya said to everyone.  “Now, quick, let’s get out of here.”As the group made their way across the lobby, Sarah knelt down, grabbing a couple of the guards’ handguns.  “Whatcha need those for, chica?  Just make their brains ooze out of their heads again,” Miguel suggested as he passed her.“Yeah, well my brain’s feeling like ooze right now, too.  Besides,” Sarah said cocking the guns, “they’re Berettas, my favorite.”Miguel raised an eyebrow.  “Aw, man, you ain’t a cop, are ya?”  Sarah, moving to catch up with the others, just turned her head to him and smiled.  “Madre de Dios,” he added rolling his eyes.The escapees made their way outside.  The air was crisp cool, and the scenery was breathtaking.  The doors opened immediately into a parking lot with a few cars.  But, beyond that, a steep escarpment gave way.  Tree-lined mountains surrounded the place, a lone gravel road leading down.  Mist clung to the dark morning air, the sun only beginning to rise behind the tall mountains.“I hope my car’s still here,” Jaya said looking around.“You hope…?” Sam replied incredulously.“It’s been a while…there!” Jaya said pointing down a row of vehicles.Suddenly, bullets began to rip through the air, cracking against the pavement around them.  “Let’s go!” Jaya shouted, running. The rest followed, Minotaur and Tyrone taking up the rear to protect the others from the gunfire coming from the entrance, they had just left.  Of the complex they had just left, only the lobby could be seen as jutted out from the side of the mountain.  To their right was another building, this one plainer looking and free-standing.  Dozens of armed men began to stream from the new building, and began shooting.“Looks like you were wrong about them trying to kill us, doc,” Sam said as a bullet bit the ground near her feet.Jaya didn’t answer not stopping until she reached a minivan.  She unlocked the doors.  “Quick, get in!”“Your ride’s a Windstar?  The hell were thinking, girl?” Tyrone stated disapprovingly.Jaya rolled her eyes, “Don’t complain, at least we’ll all fit.”Minotaur, getting riddled in the back with bullets, but not seeming to car, said, somewhat peeved, “Uh, excuse me?”“Oh, right,” Jaya replied.  “Can you turn back into Max?”“Yeah, right.  That loser’d be Swiss cheese the second I changed.  Besides, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to stretch.  No dice,” Minotaur growled.  “Wait, I can work this,” he said with a menacing grin.  He handed Arron to Tyrone, opened the back of the van and ripped the back seat out, tossed it aside, and climbed in, the back of the minivan sinking under the weight.“You stupid…we could have rolled it out!” Jaya yelled.Minotaur grabbed the door to swing it down.  “Whatever, like we have time, let’s go.”More bullets began ringing around them, a few hitting the van.  Everyone piled into the vehicle, Jaya in the driver’s seat.  The van backed out of the stall and quickly made its way to the winding mountain road.</blockquote>
