<span style="color: #4000FF">"Go for Garrison, I will get the electro-freak."</span>Casey spoke through the microphone in his gas mask. Following Charles at a suitable distance as he killed indiscriminately. Charles had no hope of out running Casey who ghosted behind him. He pitied the guards who died on the floor as he nimbly passed by, but it was their fault. Their orders and all protocols were to shoot Charles on sight and they payed the price and other guards would not make the same mistake. Up ahead was an open maintenance door that led down to the basement where the building utilities lay and a possible way out being the sewer. Casey tracked Charles ready to take a potshot at him when the moment would inevitably come.<br/><br/>Mongrel smiled, part of her had long desired to get in a fist fight with Garrison. She knew she had to wear him down first before she could properly engage him. She loped through the whole he made in the wall ripping off the mask as she left the cloud of chlorine behind her. She charged him down letting out a barbaric yell towering over him as she fell upon him like a ton of bricks. She attempted to grapple with him grabbing at his arms, head and one of his feet with her muscular four arms.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/><span style="color: #8000FF">"Well, Sheee-it."</span>Progeny said seeing the culvert separating the facility sewer from the city sewer. Something had busted INTO the facility sewers and could be lurking anywhere. Progeny lit the pilot light on his flamethrower and motioned to do the same to his apprentice and the National Guard infantry platoon behind him. The large group passed through the gate rent open by the alleged rake. It was following all of the trademark signs of a Rake-like cryptid, insane amounts of strength able to rend steel and pursuing its prey. Progeny turns to his apprentice after briefly attempting to radio John Martins,<span style="color: #8000FF">"Blizzard I need you to relay that the grate was destroyed. Return to me if he doesn't reassign you. Your powers while be useless if we are dealing with a rake."</span><br/><br/>Blizzard turned and ran back to the manhole they entered from and as his footsteps faded a dark quiet fell over the platoon. Illuminated dimly by the pilot lights of the flamethrowers they pressed on branching out into small groups quietly hoping that they wouldn't be the first to come upon it or Garrison. Their fear and hesitancy mounted with each passing second<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>The bullet lands home in the porcelain-like "eye" of the creature shattering it. The creature screams falling to the ground dead. The inky material it seemed to be made from melted away leaving a headless corpse of the guard on the ground in the position the creature briefly lay slain. Dr.Mieszaniec finally slipped the magazine into his pistol after fumbling with it for a few seconds. He reaches with his off hand to his radio handset that linked to his earpieces and spoke urgently into it,<span style="color: #FF0000">"We have puppets in the facility. Aim for the eye and if you can decapitate any corpse you come across or we'll have an army on our hands."</span><br/><br/>While the Polish refugee spoke the second puppet turned its attention rapidly between its friend, the intruders and its objective the security panel which could free its master. It sped up much faster than the first as the lights flickered briefly. It made a leap for the security panel causing most of its weak point to be turned away from both interlopers running parallel to them. Dr.Mieszaniec raised his handgun again to fire.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF00FF">"Kira, it is going to be alright. My parents said that the shelter in place orders often go out before anything bad has happened. The emergency order said it was precautionary I don't think that anyone will be getting hurt in the city."</span>Sabina said coming close to Kira showing her phone with the alert pulled up showing that she was right about what was going on. Sabina receives a text from her parents as Kira is shown the phone and Sabina pulls it back to read it out loud confirming what she had just said.
