Chapter 2:Reconnaissance

"Right this way Mr. Will. Dr Dee is expecting you." The armed man standing by the gates said to Dom. Dom gestured to the trio behind him. "They're with me." He said. The guard nodded. "I'll have to see their ID and have them walk through the metal detector,sir." Dom stuck an arm out to the guard. "That will not be necessary." In his sleeve,a blue tendril of smoke curled out and slithered into the guard's nose. The man went wide-eyed and stiffened. Mars took the access card from him and opened the gates to the elevator.

authour's note: soon,i'll make the story a little more interactive,you can decide the fate of these people. or rather,their decisions.

as the elevator arrived,they saw a guard march in with them. He wore a silver bracelet unnaturally on the lower end of his palm,which gave an almost inaudible hum along with a rhythmic pulse. "what's that?" Mars whispered to Hel. "dunno." she replied. The man,his head cleanly shaved,smiled and nodded to them. I'll be accompanying y'all up the elevator." He said,with a hint of a Southern accent.

Prometheus gave Mars a quick,sublte nod. The guard's eyes sparked and reached for the bulge under his jacket. Mars quickly stepped forward and snapped his fingers as he laid a hand on the man's shoulder. "That won't be neccesary." Light green sparks fizzled on his fingertips and hovered around the guard's head. The air around him suddenly ceased to exist. His legs buckled but Mars,with his hand still on his shoulder,held him up,his nails digging through his shirt and into his skin. He ran his other hand under the guard's palm,stealing the silver bracelet. He smiled and mouthed a silent "Thank you." Prometheus' eyes gave a bright orange glow,and the man screamed,as if a thousand needles had grown from inside of him,but to no avail,as no one could hear him through the vaccum. Moments later,there was nothing left of his body except for stray wisps of ashes. They were off to pay their old friend a visit.

Meanwhile,the penthouse office of Enoch Enterprises Headquarters.....

"Burn all the files,melt the keys,blow up the vaults and evicerate all of our data. We cannot let them get their hands on what they came for." The senile-looking old man said to the woman holding a thick stack of papers and matches. She nodded and proceeded to throwing the papers into the big bonfire in the middle of the conference room. The old man approached the plain doorway,camouflaged into the wall. he went through it and sat down,posing dramatically. "and a three,two,one....." he mumbled. On cue,the intricate oak doors exploded into millions of scorching splinters,behind revealed the gang,suit and dress gone. In their place were dull armor of brown,green,orange and blue,with Runic scattered amongst the chestpiece. The old man turned around,smiling. Prometheus started. "Give us what we need,Dee. don't make us-" The old man-Doctor John Dee-held up a hand. "Okay."

Dom tilted his head,with a look resembling a curious puppy. Hel and Mars stared at each other confusingly. Dom squinted. "What are you up to?" He held his dagger up to point it at him. Dee tilted backwards. "Ohh....nothing. I swear. absolutely nothing." In an instant,a loud alarm sounded. The others drew their weapons. Hel cracked her whip,Prometheus drew out his large broadsword,and Mars materialised a heavy,green,battleaxe from thin air. "The calvary's coming. In fact,they'll be here in,say...." The doctor said before drawing back his sleeve to take a long look on his watch. "Five minutes. You're trapped in a burning building,on the top floor. What's your next plan?" Prometheus grinned. "Umm....take the stairs?" John grinned. "But you're surrounded." Mars swung his battle axe and split the large,pine table in half. "Oh yeah?" He held the old man by his lapels and pulled him closer,his eyes glowing an eeriee green. "You and what army?" As if by command,the doors surrounding the room blew open,with men standing on the other end. wielding large,menacing looking weapons.

"Educate me,Domovoi." Doctor Dee said smugly. "Tell me about your the next step of your amazingly flawless plan." Dom gritted his teeth,staring down John murderously. "Oh,i'll do you more than that." he mumbled. "I'LL SHOW YOU!!!" In a stubborn fashion,he charged at him and smashed him through the window,the old man cushioning the impact of his arm on Plexiglass. A long fall they go,two hundreds floors down.
