Ryujin followed the fox, and relaxed slightly. Everything was going to plan, and he might even be able to get home a few days early at this rate. Turning the corner, he ran straight into a metal door that slammed shut in front of him. "Oh, great... Blast doors... You said you could take care of them?" He glaced at Trixie

Trixie nodded her head, giving Ryujin a sympathetic glance as he crashed into the door. "You'll want to stand back. Right back." she warned, her eyes flickering the same bright gold they were at the shock of their first encounter. It was within seconds of her warning that her crimson locks of hair became flames, this inferno gradually taking to the rest of her bright fur. Soon all that was familiar about the young women now was the golden eyes which narrowed on her current target, one of the iron blast doors.
She crouched herself down onto all fours, gritting her teeth and taking a breif run up, leaping into the air, twisting her body so her tail hit the metal first. At first all that was left were a few sparks of red-hot metal. However after several leaps and lunges at the door a hole gradually emerged, just wide and high enough for one to crawl though.
The process ended, the inferno of the fox's fur and hair died down. Her clothing had remained in tact, purely because it had customly been made to withstand such dangerous heat. Fairly warn out, Trixie's eyes dimmed again. "If you can't get through that,you're not going to be getting in." She chuckled, massaging her forehead, admiring the shards of red, some cases white hot metal which lay scattered around the floor.

Ryu yelped as he watched the fox burst in to flame, then stood against the far wall, dodging the shards of metal that came flying at him... when Trixie finished, he walked towards the hole, looked at it, then stepped back and turned towards her. "Well... here goes nothing." Stepping back, he ran towards the door, the dived through the hole, twisting, and scraping his back with some of the white hot metal. "Ouch! Dammit!" He glared at himself, "Not as agile as I once was... I really need to get back into shape..." Raising to his feet, he looked back to see if Trixie could get through all right.

It was a matter of moments before Trixie followed Ryu through the hole, looking rather concerned. "Sorry, I forgot it would still be too hot for you." she sighed, ears dropped on their sides. "I'm so used to dealing with such tempreatures, I forgot that you could hurt yourself." she apologised, looking to the chameleon before switching her gaze to the room itself. "Well either waym this is the place..." she chirped, not quite knowing what to do with herself again.

Ryu shrugged, "Don't worry about it, I'm fine, it's more my fault for lletting myself hit it anyway." Looking about him, he saw a few crates in the distance, and moved over to examine them. "These look promising... You think we should open on..." At that moment, a loud buzzing filled the room, then a speaker blared.
"E-204 Aplha, report to storage bay 5 imediatly!" Ryujin growled, then looked on the wall, where the sign said 'Storage Bay 4'
"Storage Bay 5? Interesting... But if thats where E-204's headed, we'd better head that way as well..." Ryujin glanced at the map on his hud, then started of through the laberinth of tunnels crisscrossing the complex.

"Good plan." Trixie agreed, glacing at the map over Ryu's shoulder before he ran ahead. She hastely followed, keeping close behind as the idea of getting lost in such a vast area seemed daunting. "Please tell me we're going to get there before that robot?" she sighed, not liking the idea of being shot at moments after reaching the bay.

Ryujin muttered under his breath, that was not something he'd thought of during the mad dash there... "It doesn't look like it!" He yelled back over his shoulder, as he came to a stop before the entrance of the bay... "Dammit! It's already here... But... So is someone else..." Ryu skidded to a halt as he watched the bay being torn apart by machine gun fire
"Over here, handsome." A voice mummered from an alcove to the right. "Looks like you could use some help.
"Lupine!" Ryujin dived into the alcove, just missing a pray of gunfire above him. "What are you dojng here?"
"Trying to neutralise this robot, but I don't seem to be doing a great job, truth to tell..." The female wolf looked downcast as she admited this, for she hated to be on the losing side of anything. "But enough about that, why are you here, and who's the young vixen with you?" Lupine asked, as she reloaded the M-16 slung from her shoulder.

Trixie skid to a halt as soon as they reached the entrance to the fifth bay. It took a moment to process that there was already gunfire. Sure enough her golden optics soon located the wolf... Once Ryujin had fallen into conversation with her that was, having to leap back avoid getting herself shot. Not speaking, her eyes narrowed, not bothering with an introduction as she scanned the bay again, her ears twitching slightly. "We've got company. It might be worth cutting the chit chat and doing something about this robot." she advised, making a quick set of glances from the chameleon to the wolf.

"I like her, she's got a good head on her shoulders." The wolf winked at Ryu, then pumped a grenade around the corner, and launched herself after it. "You two coming, or what?" She rolloed into the bay, crounched, and opened fire at the robot.
"Sorry about her... Wolves... Girls... Free spirits both, combime them, and... yeah..." Ryujin muttered for a minute, then stopped. "Yeah... Robot... thats right..." Shaking his head to clear it, he launched himself at the back of the robot, and collided with a force field there. "Dammit!" He yelled, "Trix, can you do something about this accursed forcefield?"

The fox again waved her hand dismissivly, not at all minding this Lupine women. She had come across with those a lot worse. She ran forward, skidding just in time not to end up with a collision, thanks to Ryu's crash. At his request, she quickly turned her head to lock on the robot. "I'm on it." she mused, allowing the flames to once again overwhelm her frame. It took a moment or so after that work out just where abouts on the robot would need to be struck. Sure enough, she soon found where the fields generation was, pointing her bare hand at it, curling her fingers to meet her palm. Within moments of this process, the mechanical part in question was set alight with a dancing flame. To test the fox rose her free hand to where Ryujin had the misfortune of crashing.
When there was nothing there she relaxed her hand and llowed the flame to die. "All yours." she informed, the inferno dying down once more.

Ryujin smiled, "Thanks Trix. Now then... to kill this thing." Launching himself up in the air, he flipped, and pulled a drop kick, connecting with the robots power supply, and knocking it out onto the floor.
"Crude... But it works." Lupine grinned down at Ryujin, then reached out a had to help him stand. "Good work Ryu."
Ryu beamed with the praise, then looked around, and saw Trixie standing of by herself. Stumbling over, he leaned against a crate next to her. "Well... this part is done, at least... Many thanks for your help... I couldn't of done it without you..." Pausing for thought for a moment, he continued, "You look tired... Is there anything I could help you with?"

Trixie shook her head, giving a breif smile. "Oh don't mention it. I had nothing better to do with myself." she mused. She blinked at his second question, shaking her head. "No no. I just used up a lot of power conducting those flame is all. I'll be fine. I'll just get out of hear and head home I think. Nicely done Ryujin." she bowed her head to him and turned on her heels, looking back over her shoulder to the wolf. "Oh, nice meeting you. I think I'll be seeing you both around." With that she began to walk away, headed back towards Bay 4 to take the same exit she had used for her original entance. Indeed her steps were staggered to begin with, her lack of energy frightfully apparent.

Ryu ran after Trixie, catching up with her at the blasted door. "Look... there's no way you'll make it anywhere on your o..." Just then, with a large wrenching sound the roof came off and went flying away. "What was that?!" Ryujin gasped, then stopped dead in his tracks.
"Thanks for the help, Handsome!" Lupine stood on E-204 Aplha's head, grapsing a cable in her right hand, the end of which was attached to a large helicopter floating above the building. "Maybe we'll see each other again!" She yelled down at them, as the chopper lifted off, and flew away, taking the robot with it."
"Gah! Goddess damn it!" Ryujin shouted. "I never should of trus..." He got as far, before he was interupted again.
"Silo self desctruct in T minus 5 minutes, T minus 5 minutes."
"What? No!" Ryujin yelled out to the world in general. Turhning to Trixie he said "we've got to get out of here... this place is gonna blow, and take us with it if we don't go now!" Knowing she would be too weak to run awaywhere, let alone even walk far, he grabbed her with both hands, then launched himself to the top of the wall, perching for a moment, before sprinting off towards the Submersable APC he'd left in the harbour.

Trixie turned her head to face Ryujin as he came sprinting towards her, blinking as she glanced towards the wrenching. Sure enough, much to her disgust, Ryu had been, well in effect, doublecrossed by the cyborg wolf. "No way." she muttered, watching the helicopter vanish out of her trail of vision.
It was then the speakers cut in again. "Five minutes?" she repeated, almost at a yelp. She soon opened her mouth to protest being grabbed, but sadly knew she'd never make it out by herself. "I hope you know what you're doing Ryujin!" she sighed, knowing she had no idea on how to escape within the ever dropping alloted time, as much as she disliked the idea of having to do things anyway other than her own.

"Know what I'm doing? Not really... But i'm enjoying every minute of it!" Ryujin torse along the top of the wall, nimbly leaping to another one, and so forth until he reached the edge of the harbour. "Here goes!" He cried, and he launched himself out above what seemed to be the blue water. "Any time now, you stupid sub!" He yelled as he droped towards the water, then abrubtly stopped as he collided with the upper deck of the APC. "Well... that works at least." He stood up and dusted himself off, "havn't actually had the chance to test that out yet... but anyway, lets get out of here, we don't have much time left." turning, he flicked a swich on the wall next to him, and the floor beneath the dropped, the tilted, sl;iding them into chair in the interiour of the sub. Already, explosions could be heard starting to sound in the distance. "Lets get this show on the road." he said as he flicked switches, and pressed buttons, and did who knows what else, until the engines started up with a deafening roar. "Right... that's it, we're out of here!" The sub started moving, and was almost out of the tunnel leading to the base, when the shockwave from the blast hit them, forcing them out of the tunnel, and bobbing in the open sea... with nothing around them for miles. In the wake of the shockwave, ryujin had been thrown against the bulkhead, and black out.
