Enter the frying pan

In another part of the facility a inconspicuous soldier walked with purpose , a lab deep in the sub basement. The high security doors to the lab had two guards in front as well as an automated turret above.

As the soldier got closer to the lab the doors the guards ordered "stop no-one passed this point but members of the head science board. Turn back or the turret will open fire"

The soldier kept walking as if the command wasn't heard. "Stop this is a restricted area" demanded one of the guards as he went to block passage of the guard only to stopped in his tracks because a spike pierced his skull followed by two spikes that hit the other guard as well as the turret that came from the body of the on coming soldier.

That soldier slowly transformed into a sexy purple haired woman with a silky violent dress who looked the place over for a second before proceeding.

"Thanks for the reception gentleman" Gara said pulling a pack of smokes out of one of their pockets as she walked though the security doors with parts of her body pulling the doors open.

A slender dark skinned 5'4 lady with heavily braided hair stood at the other side of the door "well then, the Queen of Hearts is finally here. I thought you would take all day with how slow you are."

Gara grimaced exhaling a puff of smoke "Queen of Spades looking as ugly as ever, I'm sure you could use the time to at least change into something presentable but it seems you have been slacking."

The Queen of Spades sharpened her eyes and gave a hand signal. The gravity in the hall Gara was walking down increased drastically forcing her to stop in her tracks barely able to stand. "Poor pathetic Gara with no-one to help a traitorous welp like you, it's a wonder you haven't been killed yet." She gloated as two Ice elementalists who looked like twins walked up to stand at either side of her.

Gara quickly transformed into a paper thin puddle which moved to avoid most of the frost while rapidly closing the distance between her and her old enemy.

"Like I would make this easy for you. Come on and play with me then hearts, we have been waiting for this day." Spades taunted before pressing a button.

Suddenly the floor energized causing the puddle that was Gara to stopped again as spasms of pain went through her body.

The Queen of Spades sneered "You will never beat me, you godless fool. Now surrender and I'll see that they don't torture you much while you are used to breed an army for the church."

Suddenly there was a crunching sound as the flood beneath Gara was ripped to pieces stopping the electrical shocks, her body had taken root deeply in the floor tearing up all the systems that had been hiding under it. Gara than disappeared into the cracks in the ground before the twins both unleashed gusts of white and black streams of ice at the spot that she just was, spreading frost through the surroundings as they mixed.

The Queen of Spades screamed in frustration "You can't touch me without aging to death as I'm much quicker then you know and this place is surrounded by a massive army with scanners that will reveal your presents in an instant. No one can save you now!"

Behind her the twins suddenly stopped casting out frost into the surroundings as two spikes jutted out of the ground and into their heads.

Gara's usual form slowly appearing as her full body came out of the floor with her arms still through the twins heads. "The best twins don't even look alike, you're probably just replaceable clones.. speaking of replaceable." Gara chides while separating the twins from each other for the last time in their lives.

As she turned to the terrified Queen of Spade slowly Gara spoke a few parting words "Not even your god can save you now" before her hands left the twins skulls turning into two scythes which acted like scissors bisecting the neck of stunned Queen of Spades before she could react.

As her head toppled to the floor, Gara quickly grabbed it and slung it over her shoulder before turning to walk deeper into the lab humming a gentle tune.

Far above, out of her ear shot, a tragic wail began. "SPAAAADES!!" The very air itself seemed to scream violently.

On the roof of the building Tral had dug his sword into the roof in order to avoid being tossed aside by the growing maelstrom that had completely enveloped Hidden Wind.

He seemed to have completely forgotten about his fight with Tral or the fact that he was supposed to be protecting the facility as his storm continually grew until the building was being torn up beyond repair.

Tral looked around nervously "Not good. He has completely lost his mind.. I need to get to the meeting point before there isn't a meeting point anymore" he said before jumping off the quickly collapsing roof.

On the way he came across errant gun fire as well as multiple explosions. When Tral got closer to the action he found a mostly destroyed room filled with corpses as a one sided massacre was being carried out by a very blood covered Darick.

Commander Stock's body lay with the bodies of many others. His rank meaningless in death, with his body cast aside into a pile of his subordinates.

With their Commander dead, the soldiers had lost most of their organization and had devolved into simply opening fire with everything they had despite not being able to hurt Darick at all.

With a few small explosions Tral quickly finished the remaining troops before joining Darick. "We need to get out of here now before the storm tears the building to pieces."

Darick looks at Tral strangely as if to question what is happing which Tral answered "I'm not sure what happened but in the middle of the fight Hidden Wind broke down, went insane and we probably don't have much time before he rips this building out by its roots. So we need to get out of here and find Dusty."
