[b]As the shooting begins, the blurs stop darting, hidden within the portals.[/b]
-
[Squad Leader Alpha] "Jones! KEEP FIRING! Harper! SET THE COVER!" *A rebel stops firing and sets up four posts in a square around the group* *hardlight begins to link the electronic posts* *the group gets in cover while trying to suppress the portals*
-
[b]Three more open above the other portals. A blur exits one and swings an orange glow at one of the devices, before bouncing back to a different portal.[/b]

Edited by Murph Tha Smurf: 6/21/2015 9:58:57 PM[Murph] "They're trying to bust the cover!" *one rebel shoots a rocket at an upper portal* [Minerva, now dual wielding smg's to suppress more portals] "If they keep popping up like this we won't be able to shoot them all!" [Murph] "Prepping suit EMP, just hold them off a bit longer!" *The troops continue to fire*
-
[b]The rocket enters the portal and disappears... And exits another, hurtling towards the cover and exploding.[/b]

Edited by Murph Tha Smurf: 6/21/2015 10:08:45 PM[Murph, a bit stunned by the explosion] "75% charged... Cmon...." *his suit tendrils begin to glow blue* *Minerva watches the shadow pass by and jumps out of cover, following it through the next portal* [Minerva] "You think you can outrun me? Hahahaha!!"
-
[b]As she enters the portal, she comes out of the other side, perplexed. The place is an exact copy of the City, but slightly different. There are two Suns. The sky is cloudless and orange. Smaller objects float upwards, away from the ground. And the portals are everywhere. Blurs dart between the portals, some too fast to even register properly, others are slow enough to observe. Slow enough to observe that these definitely aren't just blurs.[/b]
-
[Minerva] "What... Is this..?" *She observes some of the portals around her* *on comms* "Murph, you need to see this." [Murph, on comms] "Minerva! Get back here now! The EMP is ready!" [Minerva] "but... Rghh fine." *she leaps back through and Murph activates the EMP* *Murph's suit tendrils spray EMP waves at the portals, they begin to close and distort*
-
[b]The blue lights begin glowing red and expand, almost as if something— or some[i]one[/i]— is forcing them back open. A guttural, metallic roar echoes throughout the streets.[/b]
-
[Rebel] "Sir! I've spotted the cave with the supplies!" [Murph, still trying to close the portals] "Go get them and get out of here! Minerva and I will finish off these portals." [Squad Leader Alpha] "Yessir." *Minerva and I watch the portals as I continue to suppress their size, fearfully wondering what is making the noise*
-
[b]The portals force themselves open again, merging into a single gate and expanding. As you continue suppression, you hear massive explosions from the cave as it begins collapsing.[/b]
-
[Murph] "Oh no." [Minerva] "I'll go. Hold it off as long as you can... Whatever it is. Just... Don't get yourself killed alright?" *As Minerva dashes off towards the cave, Murph spins up his guns and sentry turrets begin to digistruct around him, the name [i]Martha[/i] painted on their sides* *each turret has rocket pods, minigun barrels, and shield generators*
-
[b]The cave is completely collapsed in. Shells of thermite explosives litter the area... It was a trap. The gate grows, and a figure is stepping through, the ground shaking.[/b]
-
*Murph opens fire on the figure*
