The base echoed with a haunting feeling of yearning to be free. It was as if a ghost had been trapped inside and not allowed to escape, that wasn't the case, everyone on the base knew it was Jared calling to help. Somehow Alex had managed to keep his calls from escaping the base, but not before he reached out to someone.
"Who would he call?" A sinister-looking man asked Alex.
"Why are you asking me?" Alex shot back. "I'm fairly busy keeping him contained to the subconscious realm anyways. It's not like talking is exactly...easy right now." The pause was from a sudden strain. Suddenly he stopped being fought to escape the base, "Whoever it is is here." Alex pushed a few buttons on the control console and the monitor popped up for a split second before going blank. "Rewind the tape."
It showed a suit of armor and Rain walk in. Alex and the other man grinned at the same time, "The armor is easy, just use the same weapon on him that disabled Jared, in these halls he won't be able to dodge. Rain? Let her father take her down." Alex pressed his com, "You're on Edmund." Hm, it's like they know exactly where he is.
* The good guys perspective *
(Sorry I''m doing a little hostile takeover, you can input what I leave out if you wish.)
Sterling looked at Rain, "This way."
He started down a hallway. A few minutes later they opened the door and saw the metal armor lying there. Rain gasped in horror as she saw the pieces from inside him lying all over the place. Rain quickly found a bag in the corner and placed the pieces in it.
"Can you carry him Sterling?" She pleaded.
He nodded but didn't want to tell her Jared was probably dead. The powerful aura had calmed down, the two of them couldn't feel it at all. They walked out into the hallway. They were confronted by MB.
"Honey, hurry this way," He said.
A few moments later another MB appeared from the other direction, "Hey he's an impostor it's this way."
They happened to stop at a room that acted as a T junction, Alex came walking down the third direction. Both turned and growled at him at the same moment.
"Wow," Alex laughed. "I mean wow, I sent one of them down here but I can honestly say I have no idea which one is which and that's with the slight telepathy I have. I hope you can do better. Every minute you wait is one more minute we rally our forces."
(You can come up with a way to escape, just Jared waking up isn't it.
Side note, the weapon won't have the same effect on Sterling, it will just cause his armor to malfunction and dissipate.)
