The Resistance

Wind and Shadow returned to Luna with the keycard.

"Excellent. Now, you'll have to use that keycard to get into the guard house. Once inside, you'll have to find the main control room. From there, you will be able to disengage all security protocols. Including our restraints." Luna instructed them.

"What about the search lights?" Wind asked.

"I can lend some assistance with my magic. This device blocks most uses from my horn, but I can still perform simple spells. I will render you both invisible to the naked eye." Luna replied.

"Okay, let's do this." Wind said.

They all left the building and got ready. Luna hid out of sight behind a tree. She concentrated and the device began to glow slightly with a black light. She gave them the signal to go and they ran towards the guard house. They got to the door without any alerts from the search lights. Wind swiped the keycard and they headed inside. The inside was really drab and depressing. There were several half broken desks with uncomfortable looking chairs. They slowly made there way to the first desk and hid behind it.

"Okay, Vinyl. We're in the guard house. Luna said we need to find the main control room. Any idea where we'll find it?" Wind whispered while looking around for guards.

"I can't tell, the schematics we have are pretty damaged. See if you can get one of the guards to talk." Vinyl replied.

"Okay. Thanks, maintain radio silence until we find it." Wind replied.

Wind spotted the stairs. As she made her way towards them, she picked up a tactical knife from one of the desks. She pressed herself against the wall as she ascended the stairs. She heard voices coming from above and turned to Shadow and put her finger to her lips. He just nodded. Wind peeked around the corner and counted five guards in sight. There was one with his back turned to her at the top of the stairs. She quietly made her way to him and shoved the blade into his neck and grabbed the gun from his belt. Before the other four guards could react, she shot three bullets into each of there chests. She let the guard she had stabbed fall to the ground and grabbed the other guards guns. She handed one to Shadow.

"You know how to use of these?" She asked.

He nodded.

"How did you do that?" Shadow asked.

"My dad taught me." Wind replied as she stuck one of the guns into the waist of her pants.

"Come on. There's only a couple more floors to clear." Wind said as she made her way to the next flight of stairs.

Wind hurried up them and was immediately greeted with gun fire. She and Shadow ducked down behind an over turned steel desk. Bullets were flying everywhere.

"I count seven guards in total." Wind said.

"How do you know that?" Shadow asked as he flinched from a ricocheted bullet.

"I can tell by the gunshots. There's a sequence of seven guns firing in order.

They should be reloading right... about... now!" Wind said as the firing stopped and she jumped over the table.

She ran over to the closest guard. She grabbed him and spun him around. She used him as a human shield as she fired away at the other guards. She got to the last one and ran out of bullets. She threw her empty gun at him and it hit him in the hand, making him drop his gun. She snapped the neck of the guard she was holding and ran over to the other one. She knocked him to the ground and pulled the gun from her waist and pointed it at him.

"Where's the main control room?" She asked.

The guard spit at her. She put her foot on his throat and pressed down.

"Last chance. Where is the control room?" She asked again.

The guard made a choking noise. She lifted her foot up.

"Top floor. You'll need my access card." The guard said.

Wind leaned down and took the card from his belt.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Wind said as she stomped on his neck, crushing his windpipe.

"Come on, let's go." Wind said as she headed for the stairs.

They ran up and entered a room that had a steel cage surrounding a big super computer. It seemed to be powered by a large battery looking object. The cage was emitting a slight humming noise. Shadow started towards the cage, but, Wind stopped him. She picked up a small piece of rubble and threw it at the cage, it sparked as it hit a wall of electric.

"Thought so. Vinyl, any word on the power station yet?" Wind asked.

From outside, they heard an explosion in the distance. The lights flickered off and the cage powered down.

"They just blew it up. If you see a large battery looking object, grab it for me. It's a quantum battery and I need it to make my invention functional." Vinyl replied.

"Will do." Wind said as she swiped the card in the gate and entered.

She ripped the battery out and an alarm sounded as their restraints fell to the floor.

"Warning, removing the quantum battery will cause all security measures to fail. Please replace the battery now." A computerized voice said.

Wind and Shadow ran out of the building and into the courtyard, just as the far wall of the prison exploded
