Juggernaut

(( Missions don't usually go as planned for team RSM and sometimes they do ))

Alarms and sirens blared through the speakers, lighting the corridors in shades of red. They rang loudly throughout the base. Two figures huffed running through different hallways, each one identical to the other, trying to find the way out of this confusing maze.

"Over here!" The figure leading them motioned towards a large automatic door that was currently sealed shut as a defense protocal. Rose gave the second figure, a petite, elf princess named Kayda, one of her pistols. She quickly corrected the way the princess was holding the weapon and held it in the direction they came from.

"You're going to shoot whoever or whatever comes through that door. Understood?" Rose explained. Kayda stood stiff, eyes glassy, as the tremors ran up and down her hands became noticeable.

Rose gave a look of sympathy, understanding the fear the other must have. Her touch lingered over the princess' hand, "Relax, take a deep breath, and pull the trigger with certainty. Any hesitation will get you killed."

Her team's mission was to infiltrate the base to rescue a valuable princess that was kept hostage under strict surveillance as Spades and Miyuki play decoy. With the way everything is shaking with explosions, she's sure Spades is having a great time causing havoc.

She quickly returned to her task at hand. "This will only take a second.." She muttered as she reached her hand out. Her fingers stretched out into long wires, connecting themselves into the passcode bar. Her cybernetic markings and her eyes glowed a faint cyan as she started hacking, unlocking each bolt holding the door shut. She stepped away once she was done, watching the door rise.

However, she wasn't expecting anything like this on the other side.

There it was standing at eight feet tall, wrapped in layers after layers of Kevlar, foam, and plastic armor. Held on their gloved hands was a large, heavy machine gun, with 12 millimeter sized bullets hanging on their side like a tail.

Rose held out her arm protectively in front of the elf princess as cold sweat dripped down her neck. She was in disbelief out of all things she wasn't expecting this.

"Oh, fuck me. They sent out a juggernaut..." Her voice rang through the intercom in her team's ears.

----------

Miyuki ran after Spades, the sounds of the alarm rung through her ears. Far more louder than normal, as she quickly disposed of a few of the soldiers chasing them.

"Reaver, I need your location." She said into the intercom, coming to a hault in front of two passages. When Miyuki didn't hear an answer, she was going to tell Spades that she could probably scent Rose if they're close enough, but he ended up taking off into one of the corridors.

She reached out, "Stonefist, wait!" But he was gone before she knew it. She ran a hand through her blue hair, growling in slight frustration. "Why am I stuck with two wreckless idiots?"

She looked at the corridor. On the right, the one Spades didn't take. She knew Rose could handle far more than a juggernaut, and with that thought in mind, she took off after Spades.

She hid behind a corner, peeking out in time to see an explosion from down the hallway left in Spades wake. She took out a pistol and aimed at the remaining soldiers, shooting them accurately in the head.

She covered the lower half of her face with a special mask most assassins in their organization carry. Miyuki didn't want to risk breathing in the smoke left from the explosion.

She ran across the debris, almost slipping on a puddle. She held onto the wall for support and realized it was a puddle of blood. It trailed towards a direction she started to follow subconsciously until she ended up catching sight of Spades. She noticed a few soldiers surrounding the other end of the corridor, blocking their path. They had their guns aimed at him.

"Stonefist!" Miyuki ran towards him right when they started their round of fire. As she ran her limbs stretched, her stature grew in size, doubling her height. Her teeth became sharper as her nose grew into a snout stretching over the mask.

Long blue hair darkened into black fur, eyes glowed yellow. Her clothes were torn in some areas due to the sheer size of her werewolf form. She couldn't fully change. She needed to keep in control of the situation.

She encased her large body around Spades, taking the blunt hit of the bullets. They wouldn't hurt her too much unless it was cased in silver.

She glared down at him, the look more intimidating in her werewolf form. "Can you still shoot?" It came out as a low gargled growl, as if she's never spoken before in that form.

Without waiting for an answer, she gave him a pistol and threw him over her shoulder. She used her hind legs to kick off the ground and swiftly make her away around the debris. Bullets flew past her head, richocheting against the walls.

Soldiers shouted to fire everything they got. At first, Miyuki was okay with running away from a rain of bullets, but once they brought out heavier weapons such as explosives, she looked rather concerned.

They were going to blow this whole place down regardless of who was stuck in the radius of that blast.

----------

Rose hid behind debris that fell from the ceiling after the third explosion hit. Her intercom wasn't working, and she couldn't stay hidden for too long, not when she had someone she needed to protect. She would've been fine if she was on her own. She could have been more wreckless, got the job done faster, but Kayda is making it difficult. Not only because she was a vulnerable target but because she decided to have a death grip on Rose's arm and not let go no matter how much Rose tried to pry them off.

Rose shot a round of bullets at the juggernaut's head, only to have them uselesly bounce off.

"It's like I'm shooting fucken blanks!" She laughed in disbelief, trying to think of her options.

She could make a run for it, that heavy machine gun takes a few seconds to power up before shooting so she can have some time to get to cover. But she couldn't risk Kayda getting shot, so she scrapped that plan.

She looked up at the ceiling, most parts destroyed by the explosions, cracks, and pieces hanging off, ready to fall with another rumble.

She was going to mention a plan she thought of to Kayda, but a small, fiberglass ball rolled towards them. It flashed in warning, beeping more urgently as seconds went by.

Rose couldn't react fast enough and stood in front of Kayda to get the blunt force. It flashed once more before denoting. It sent out a sonic wave, pushing both of them out of their hiding spot, knocking them back a few feet.

Rose felt the air be knocked out of her as she laid on the floor gasping. What kind of grenade was that? She never came across a sonic wave that was strong. Her stomach seized, and a strong feeling of nausea came over her.

"Kay.. Kayda! Are you... okay?" She looked over at the princess, who was in a similar position of trying to get her breathing under control. Lucky for her, she didn't get the full force of the blast.

Ears ringing, stomach doing flips, Rose tried to crawl towards the Princess, only to be pushed back down by a heavy armored boot, pain shooting up her spine.

She yelped, clenching her jaw closed.

"We all know who you are. Who you work for. Do you really think you're doing good in this world?" Came the muffled voice behind layers of protective gear.

"You work by organizing crime, you steal, kill, kidnap." Juggernauts beady eyes shifted from the redhead he was grounding his boot into, towards the frightened princess, then back.

"You shed blood wherever you go. You're a disease. And I will finish you." He aimed the large, red muzzle of his heavy machine gun straight down towards the assassin.

"Let's hope there will be nothing left of me because I'm going to kill you if I'm still alive." Rose turned her head to the side, glaring from the corner of her eyes straight at the Juggernaut.

"That's a fucken promise. So make it count."

The barrel started to shift, warming up the machine gun. It started to fire; debris, dust, and smoke were picked up as bullets penetrated wherever it landed.

Juggernauts manic laugh was almost louder than his weapon, as he hailed bullets.

When he was done, he waited for the smoke to clear, to find Rose missing from her spot. "What the fuck?"

"I'm over here asshole." Rose stood by Kayda. Part of her forearm was open and presenting a hologram of a rocket launcher. Her markings on her face glowed a bright cyan as she materialized the weapon into existence.

The juggernaut laughed again, "You think that will kill me?"

"No, but this will." She aimed the materialized rocket launcher up towards the ceiling at one of the pieces dangling off. The rocket exploded with a loud boom, shaking the whole base, rumbling the floors and walls, and large chunks started to fall from the ceiling.

One piece of debris collapsed above the juggernaut before they could move out of the way. Their heavy armor made it difficult to move quickly.

It folded him like paper weight. Rose stood there for a second, waiting to see if they'll get back up. When blood started to leak out from underneath the rubble, she knew it was done.

Rose turned to Kayda with a grateful smile, "I wouldn't have made it if you didn't teleport me out in time." Kayda smiled softly before her eyes rolled back and fainted. Rose caught her before she hit the ground.

Rose carried her bridal style over the pile of rubble, trying to quickly make her way out before the whole place fell apart.

"We need to retreat!" She tried to say to her intercom only to realize it was still broken and static was the only feedback she heard.

----------

Miyuki used her heightened senses to track Rose down, at the same time making sure she didn't out run Spades in her haste. However, she was surprised he was able to keep up so easily.

It was more difficult the longer they ran due to smoke gathering from fires caused by the explosions. Everything seemed like it was on the verge of collapsing, and if they didn't get out in time, they'd be trapped in the rubble, left to suffocate by the smoke.

"At this rate, the whole place will cave in!" She growled, her snout trying to form those words. They ended up back at that divided corridor, this time taking the other side instead. "Her scent is getting stronger, but so is the scent of smoke..."

In fact, most of the smoke came from this area the further they traveled, darkening their vision.

She stopped sharply, stretching her arm out to the right to catch Spades. The walkway in front of them was destroyed, hollowed out by an explosion, leaving a large crater in its wake.

She wasn't sure how it happened or what the hell Rose got herself into, but before she could ponder it more, she spotted said assassin on the other side of the crater holding their objective. The ground continued to rumble as parts of the base started to cave in. Rose had placed her mask on the princess to help her from breathing in the smoke as she tried to cover her own face with her arm. The flames spread towards them, no other escape than over the crater.

"Matriarch, I have a grapnel! Can you catch it?" Miyuki's wolf ears twitched, as Rose shouted from the other end. If it wasn't for her enhanced hearing, she would've missed it. Miyuki howled in return.

Soon after, Rose's markings become the only thing visible as smoke engulfed them. A grapnel shot out from the smoke towards them at a high speed.

Miyuki dug her claws unto the wall beside her and stretched out to catch it. It wrapped around her forearm, the sharp edges digging into her furred skin.

Spades's eyes glowed an eerie grey, helping Miyuki pull the grapnel with his own inhumane strength.

Rose wrapped the rope around the princess' waist and then secured it around her own wrist. She then placed the princess over her shoulder with a vice-like grip. She saw smoke erupting from the hole she blew up prior, thick and all consuming.

It swallowed them completely right when Rose used her cybernetics to enhance her throw. She ran, giving herself some momentum before jumping over the edge. She had enough trust in her teammates and knew they wouldn't let her fall to her death.

They swung across as she held on tightly to the rope. They emerged from the black cloud of smoke at a speed that was too fast. They were going to crash harshly against the other end. Rose twisted them, so she took the blunt force of that hit. She grunted, her shoulder aching from the impact, but her hold was strong. They swayed a few feet below. Rose looked beneath her dangling feet, and debris and rubble crumbled down into the fire.

She could feel the heat rising, fire licking up the walls. "Matriarch!"

"Stonefist, I'll need you to pull them up." Miyuki held on tightly. She was stuck between holding onto the grapnel and digging her claws in the wall as support.

Rose looked at the rope as it was pulled taunt. The fibers of the rope started to come undone with their combined weight the longer they stayed suspended in the air. She really hoped it held long enough.

As they were lifted up inch by inch, she kept her eye on the rope, hearing it starting to tear more and more.

"Can you guys hurry? I don't think it'll hold long enough!" She started to feel fear creep up her spine. Falling to their death was not a way she'd want to go. Maybe doing something cool like crashing a chopper, but not this. This would suck.

Debris fell from the ceiling, collapsing all around them. They really needed to speed things up. Their time is running out.

Sweat dripped down to Spades' eyes, but he kept pulling the rope. Each tug was painstakingly slow, and he was starting to get lightheaded from the smoke.

Suddenly, he grunted in surprise as he fell back, landing on the floor in front of Miyuki's feet. He huffed in disbelief, looking at Miyuki in horror, showing her the rope in his hands.

The end was torn off.

Miyuki howled, leaping closer to the edge and peered down. She couldn't see them. She couldn't see anyone but black smoke and the occasional flare from the flames. Her heart hammered away.

"No, no, no!" Spades stopped her from trying to jump over the crater. It took a lot to shove her back, especially in her werewolf form. Her eyes streamed with tears. Spades held on to Miyuki's face, and he tried to get her to look at him.

"She'll be okay! She's gonna be okay!" Spades wasn't sure if he was trying to convince Miyuki or himself.

"We need to get out! Or else we'll also be stuck here." Spades tried to reason.

"I can't leave her here!" Miyuki kept looking over Spades' shoulder as if she'll find Rose standing there telling them how they got juked, but there was no Rose. There was only rubble and smoke and that torn rope she should've been tied to.

Spades kept pulling her away from the crater. "Matriarch, we need to leave now!"

Miyuki reluctantly turned away with a small, pained whine. She turned back into her human form and followed close behind Spades, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

----------

Rose looked at the rope and then back down to the abyss they'll fall into. Her breathing was quickened either by the lack of oxygen or anxiety. Probably both.

They were almost there, Rose could see the edge, and she could almost reach it. Then she could pull them up, and they can get out of here -

Snap!

There was a moment when Rose felt her heart drop down to her stomach, and then she was falling.

She screamed, the speed of their fall increasing by every second. She held onto Kayda, not sure what else to do.

"Fuuuuck!" She curled up in fear around the elf princess. Then it came to her, the teleportation that occurred earlier with the Juggernaut.

"Kayda, wake up! Kayda!" She desperately tapped the elf's face, trying to rouse her awake.

Oh, God, they aren't going to make it in time. Smoke engulfed them in inky blackness, Rose couldn't see, couldn't breathe. She could only hold on for dear life and hope upon any deity to spare them from a gruesome death.

A small gasp escaped the elf princess as she startled awake, but Rose couldn't form words fast enough to tell her to teleport.

Rose squeezed her eyes shut, waiting on the inevitable impact. Waiting for the pain to take her.

Instead, they floated for a mere second, feeling weightless and light. Then, the wind was knocked out of her as they landed in a patch of soft green grass.

No smoke or fire to be seen. No flashing red lights or the blaring sounds of alarms. No more collapsing facility. It was all replaced by sweet scented flowers and a large field that stretched for miles.

Large chunks of land floated over head, ruins, and ancient markings engraved on the soil, giving it the magik touch to keep it elevated.

There were stepping stones all around to travel from and to each section. It was dark out, and Rose had never seen so many stars that weren't drowned out by city lights.

It was breathtaking, giving the redheaded assassin whiplash from their near death experience.

"Holy shit. Holy shit." She kept muttering, trying to get her racing heart under control. Kayda wasn't fairing any better. She looked pale, and her face was frozen in shock. She was trembling from head to toe.

Rose sat up, not moving the princess from her place on top of Rose's lap. Rose placed her own trembling hands on either side of the elf princess' cheeks and laughed a bit hysterically, pulling her in so their foreheads touched.

They were covered in sweat, soot, and blood. But they were alive. They made it.

"You saved us, Kayda. Holy shit, you fucken saved us."
