Infiltration

"What! Why the hell are the doors opening?! Put a stop to it now!" ordered the Commander of the facility.

"Sir we are trying, but something is preventing us from closing them!" reported an officer.

"Sir! There is someone outside!" another officer declared.

"Someone get me a visual!" commanded the Commander. On a very large screen appeared a speck in the distance. "Zoom in, damnit!"

"Sir we can't identify the perpetrator. He's wearing a mask!"

Suddenly the man in the mask disappeared off the screen.

"What the fuck? Where is he?"

Ren flew into the building into a very large space full of tanks, military trucks, and hummers.

"How did they get their hands on these?" wondered Ren as he sprinted around.

"FIRE!" yelled a captain.

All of the soldiers within the large room aimed and fired at Ren, who dodged them all and caught a few. Ren launched himself at them. One of the soldiers panicked and started to fumble another magazine into his assault rifle. Just as he got the magazine in and pulled the trigger, Ren was in front of him and brushed the gun aside.

Zunk!

Ren shoved his hand into his side and pulled out his core. He then grabbed the gun out of his hands and fired a bullet in his forehead.

Ren then turned and aimed at the other soldiers and began to fire as they fired back. Out of the corner of his eye, Ren saw a small flash of light. He jumped and a rocket fired from an RPG blew up where he was standing. Ren shot himself towards another soldier, slit his throat them used his body as a shield as the other soldiers continued to lay a barrage of fire.

Ren then threw his body aside and disappeared.

"Where did he go?!" yelled a soldier.

SLASH! SLICE! SLAM!

Ren lobbed off the head of a soldier, stabbed one with his hand then jumped sinking his knee into another's face before pulling out the core of the soldier and crushing it.

"We have to stop him, get in the tanks and blast that fucker apart!" ordered the Commander.

Soldiers responded immediately and opened up the hatches of the tanks and jumped in.

BANG! BOOM!

Ren watched in slow motion as a bullet almost half the size of him, flew by him in the air and blew into the wall of the building.

"Not good." Ren panicked as he ran around.

BANG!

The bullet from the tank blasted into the ground next to Ren, pushing him back a good twenty feet. He jumped onto the hatch of the tank and yanked it off and jumped in.

Ren rushed up behind the operator of the tank and twisted his head, breaking his neck. He then pulled out the core and crushed it, before moving his body and sitting down.

"Oh yeah!" shouted Ren in excitement. "Now this is a dream come true. Now how to you aim this thing?" Ren began pushing all sorts of levers and buttons.

BOOM!

A bunch of soldiers screamed as a rocket from the tank blasted near them, into the wall.

"So that's how you fire the thing. Now, how to aim..."

"He's in a tank?! Shit!" roared the commander. "Dispatch all soldiers. I want that fucker dead!" The commander continued to watch the video feed in disbelief.

Ren fired and fired, blasting away soldiers and making large holes in the walls, and destroying other tanks. Eventually, the tank ran out of ammunition. Ren decided to hop out.

Most of the soldiers were gone now.

"This room is clear, you almost here?" asked Ren into his transmitter.

"We are about three minutes away." Ms. Croft responded.

"Then I'll be off to somewhere else in the building." Ren began to walk towards one of the holes in the wall he made into a very wide hallway.

"I need a place to hang out so they can come to me," Ren decided. " I'll look for the largest room I can find somewhere in this building. That way they will be completely focused on me, and those three, with the help of Ms. Carter, can find the information we are after."

"Where's he now?" asked the commander.

"Sir he's tearing up the inside of the building!" responded an officer.

"Announce his location of the loudspeaker. Get everyone we can down there!"

"INTRUDER IS IN SECTOR FOUR, EVERY ABLE-BODIED SOLDIER IS TO TRY AND STOP HIM!" announced a voice over the loudspeaker.

"Perfect," Ren grinned under his mask.

Ren tore through walls, destroying all he could, while looking for large room to set himself in.

He tore his way back into a hallway. In front of him were three soldiers. All three rushed towards him with daggers in hand.

POW! CRACK!

Ren dodged a left swipe from the first soldier and hit them in stomach then spun and kicked them in the head, launching the soldier through the wall.

While his back was turned, another soldier thrust his dagger towards his back, but Ren shifted right and let the dagger pass under his armpit. He then clamped down on the soldier's arm with his own and hit the dagger out of his hand, then...

BAM!

...thrust his elbow back into the soldier's face, knocking the soldier to the ground. The last soldier threw his dagger, but Ren spun, caught it mid-air, then threw it back. The dagger sunk into the chest of the soldier, then in a flash, Ren was in front of the soldier and pushed the dagger in further, past the hilt.

HAK!

The soldier coughed up blood. A little bit of it splattered on Ren's mask. Ren pulled the dagger back out and used it to stab the core through the soldier's side. He did the same to the other's before continuing to walk down the hallway.

"All who resist me will die." Ren smiled. However, just then, the pain he felt before returned to his side, fiercer than before. "Damn! That fucking hurts." Ren leaned up against the wall. "I need to kill... kill. Wait, why am I so obsessed with killing? What's going on?" Ren fell to his knees, as he felt that his side was going to burst wide open any second, his thoughts all in a jumble.
