Burn.

*Dagadagadagadagadaga!*

"God damn, they don't stop coming!" Rebecca exclaims as she and Ori hide behind a large pillar, security guards swarming the opposite side of the room.

"They're bound to run outta guys eventually! I doubt these guys WOULD DIE FOR MINIMUM WAGE EITHER!" he shouts over at them, one tries to throw an EMP grenade in response, but Ori just slaps it back at them. It explodes in their midst, but none of them was that affected due to their lacking Cyberware.

Shaking his head, Ori runs over to a nearby upturned metal desk and grabs it by the end, hurling it at the men. A few dive out of the way, but two of them have their bodies crushed against the wall, their internal organs rupturing.

"Fuck this, just kill them!"

"We're trying!?"

They try to focus fire Ori but it doesn't work as he simply charges at them, killing any who he manages to get ahold of.

-------------------

Ori and Rebecca reach the next elevator after not finding Sasha, as soon as they get to the second floor however they're greeted by a rather confusing sight. Twenty or so women in various stages of pregnancy waiting for the elevator doors to open...

"D-Don't hurt us!" one of them shrieks at the sight of the duo, the heavily armed and armoured mercs displaying an obvious threat, even without the blood spattering their clothes.

"The fuck is going on here!?" Rebecca shouts, incredibly confused.

"Forget that, any of you seen Sasha? Black hair, markings on her face, claws..." Ori hurriedly asks.

"The girl wearing pink!? She saved us! B-but she was fighting when we left!"

"Where!?"

---------------------

"Arrgh!" Sasha yelps as torrid fire washes over the right side of her face and arm, almost instantly carbonizing the skin and scorching it black.

"Hahahaha! Come on girly! You're not trying enough!" the psycho cyborg cackles as he roasts the desk she'd thrown herself behind, sweat pouring down her face as the room's temperature rises like an oven.

Thankfully she hadn't been running around and getting burned for nothing, she'd finally managed to breach his security. "Try it yourself!" she shouts, disabling the mechanisms in his shoulders, causing them to flop to his sides... Of course, this also causes his flamethrowers to start firing at the ground, incinerating his combat trousers and burning his legs.

The Cyborg turns off his weapons, but the damage had already been done. The flesh on his legs burned enough that the internal muscle and Cyberware were now visible. He glances down and immediately howls in pain. The damage was enough that he'd likely have to replace his entire lower half... Even his manhood had been made extra-crispy.

Sasha doesn't waste this distraction, vaulting over the table with her one usable hand and stabbing forwards with her claws extended.

The pyromaniac notices this and decides to say 'fuck it', starting up his flame throwers again which ruins his legs while also catching Sasha. Her claw stabs into his chest, but he leans forwards and bites her bicep, keeping her pinned with him as he tries to cook them both.

Tears gather in her eyes as her legs get burned, she tries to wrench herself free by pushing her legs against his chest, but he held on, vengeance in his eyes as he bites harder.

"GET. OFF!" she roars, raising her foot and pressing it against the guy's neck, activating her newest Cyberware.

*SHIINK!*

A sharp spike shoots out of her heel, burrowing a hole through her pink trainers and piercing the cyborg's neck. His mouth opens in surprise, allowing her to backflip away, though her landing isn't quite graceful given how burned her legs were.

"KKAhhk... Heha-rehe... G-o-od o-ne..." he manages to rasp out as blood squirts from his wound, he drops face first to floor, flames ceasing and revealing his entirely carbonized legs.

"Bastard..." she scowls, grimacing as she tries to move her legs. Second to third-degree burns, muscle seemed mostly fine but she was in enough pain to make the very notion of walking a nightmare. Even now as her adrenaline wears off she was trembling from the pain, she only hoped she wouldn't go into shock.

"YAAaaargghh!" she screams while forcing herself to her feet. She waddles towards the door but cuts down a nearby column scale to act as a makeshift cane. Hopefully the facilities security is off dealing with Ori and Rebecca, she was in no state to fight them off right now.

----------------

"Huh, think they're finally out of meatshields." Rebecca wonders as they stalk through the hallway.

"'Bout time."

*CRASH!*

Breach doors suddenly fall on either side of them, blocking both exits with reinforced metal walls.

"Uh... That's not good." she utters, giving the new wall a kick.

*Tink!*

Both stares at the small device dropped in the centre of the new cell...

"That's-, even worse..."

*Spchhh!!*

Rebecca backs up against the wall as purple gas starts spewing from it, she readies Guts to shoot it but Ori steps in front, grabbing it and-

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

"Sabing ur waife." he mumbles out while shoving the grenade down his throat. Small amounts of gas leak from his lips but by the time it reached his gullet the nanites had already mostly pulled it apart.

He audibly swallows and shows her his mouth, "See? Problem solved."

[Hostile Nanosurgeons destroyed.: Flesh Administrator]

"Okay, we're gonna talk about this, but after we're out of this place..." she shakes her head and points at the wall, "Now smash!"

...

He shrugs, walking up to the wall and leaning down to lift it. A tug later, he lifts it, raising hte multiple ton obstructions over his head. "C-come on, we gotta go."

"I don't think so." a voice speaks up drawing their attention. They look over and spot a short man with black hair and green eyes, pointing a large rifle at them.

*BLAAM!*

Ori yelps as a bullet goes straight through his chest, piercing his heart and out of his back. Despite that, he continues to hold the wall up, knowing they'd be trapped for however long if he dropped it now.
