Gear silently made his way and joined Athan's side.
"Well I doubt I'll get out alive without you." Kyle mumbled as he cocked his gun and like Gear joined Athan
OOC: Sorry for my really short posts, I don't know about you, but it's annoying me and I'll try better in the future.

There was a loud slam as a door opened at the other end of the hall. A man wearing a jet black trench coat walked down, his code slightly fading and flickering. It was Tau, and he had a smile on his face. "So... anything I miss?" he asked Athan. ooc: Back Just to re-inform, Hard is bad now and has about 20 X-programs named after him running around, Magus went a bit berzerk and Tau seems to be my last man standing, right?

"There, see?" Athan said with an ill concealed smile "One more man to our charge. I'm going through this door in five... four..."
Athan prepared to bust down the door, positioning himself to plow through it.
"Three..." Gear and Kyle prepared their weapons, getting ready to dive into a sea of madmen.
"Two..." Matrixia got her own guns ready, remaining silent ((sorry Mattie, but I have no idea where you are)).
"One..." Athan braced his shoulder and threw himself against the door.
The rusty hinges stripped themselves from the wall, and the door fell into the Exiles. The heavy metal of its frame smashed several of them over the head, and the man nearest the door collapsed to the ground.
"Move!" Athan yelled, opening fire into the crowd.

The first wave of Exiles, closest to the door fell almost instantly due to the hail of bullets let loose from the group. The sheer number of Exile was too much for weapons and if they intended to go forwards they had to fight.
Kyle kicked forwrd, trying to push his way out the door, out of sheer anger and frustration, he screamed and picked up and Exile, throwing him back. Gear used the opportunity to get out of the room, spinning his sword, the Exile's were cut down.

The first couple of seconds were the most intense, and the most hopeful. The blood and the violence peaked in those seconds, as close range enemies were torn apart by the onslaught of the redpills. The clawing hands of madmen desperately flung out at them, repelled by the mere tug of a trigger.
But when they were out into the hall, in the midst of the monsters, hope began to fade. From all sides, the Exiles crowded the group, punching and tearing at their clothes and flesh.
"Keep moving!" Athan yelled again, holding an Exile by the throat and pistol whipping him with the other hand "Down the corridor, to the left... first door on the right!"
As Athan released his bloodied foe, a blow took him over the head, and a leg rose up into his stomach. He sunk into the crowd, dizzy and tired.

"ATHAN!" Gear yelled as he swung his sword, pushing and Exile away to get closer, but Athan just seemed to get further and further away as the Exiles swarmed him.
Kyle rolled was pushed forward, out of the crowd and fell flat on his face, he was pulled up by a group of Exiles, realizing his cahnce of freedom, he pushed past them a began to sprint down the corridor.

Tau drew a pair of uzi's and started firing away, To him this looked bad, as if it would not go down well.
And he was right. Athan's position was not one to be dealt with through gunfire. Realising he was out of ammo, Tau threw down the guns and began to throw Exiles in to walls in an attempt to free Athan.

"Just... get OUT!" Athan cried out. He was being beaten down. Athan tried to draw a breath, but his lungs couldn't manage it. The kicks and the punches made his whole body feel as though it were collapsing. This was it, then. The end-- no glory, no going down in a duel. Just a beating by a bunch of psychopaths he had been too stupid to have contained.
"Get to the door-" Athan tried again. The last the group saw of him was flailing arms, knocking one or two of the Exiles in the jaw. And then, the arms were drowned out, and Athan fell from view.

"Damn" Gear grunted, he spun his sword and slid it into his sheath, kicking out of the group he turned and ran down the hall, a few bullets from Kyle's gun missed him by inches and hit the pursuing Exiles.
The door was open and Kyle had made it through, breathing a sigh of relief he was followed by Gear, the two, from cover shot back through the door, hoping the others would come.

Finally, it was time to draw the line. If Athan wasn't going to be saved this way, he may as well save him by himself. Tau drew a grenade labelled "ZCX5". He pulled the pin, lighting the grenade's fuse and dropped it on to Athan. It was that second that Tau began to run as fast and as hard as he could.
ooc: Logan, if you want to, you can do whatever with the grenade as I just placed it on top of all the exiles. lol

The door was already closing as Matrixia and Tau slid through.
"What we looking for again?" Kyle asked, much to disliking of Gear who brushed past him, he sheathed his sword and made his way down the hallway.

Mattie yelled in anger as she kicked the door. " What the HELL happened back there!? WHY did you leave Athan!? She started following Kyle down the hall. " Is that how this team works? We just leave eachother behind!
She grabbed Kyle my his shirt collar and slammed him into the wall, she got inches from his face. " If you pull that shit with me, I asure you I will make you suffer."
She released him and contined walking, her anger ovious in her body language.
OOC: Sorry ive been gone guys, i learned some news that i might share with you guys.

Tau flickered slightly, the last piece of his code becoming restored. "Just like new..." Two cars pulled up outside in a car park. Four exiles got out. "As you ordered, a pizza for a Mr. John Cooper?" "That will be me," Tau acknowledged. The driver threw Tau the keys, which he caught. "I gotta get moving. There's a lot of things happening, and I gotta keep my cover." The four exiles left themselves behind as Tau drove off. The group then proceeded to walk away in to the darkness.
ooc: Had to make some sort of exit for him... so long as I post something it doesn't matter.

"What just happened? Was it something I said?" Kyle asked confused, Gear shook his head and gave him a 'just shut up' sort of look.
"We'll start at the bottom and make our way up" Gear announced as he walked down a flight of stairs.
