Nexus quickly moved from room to room effortlessly killing anything that moved.
Thank god there aren't any women or children on this base, or else I would have a hard time completing this mission. Nexus breathed.

The room clearing wasn't slow but Nexus was getting bored having to do the same thing over and over again. So, when he got to the last door he sighed in relief.
"Finally, the last one." He said. "I just have to clear this room then I can get out of this dust bowl of a base."

Nexus stepped up to the metal door and with a swift kick opened the door with a loud BANG. What he saw surprised him but made him laugh at the same time. There, on the other side of the threshold, sat 6 men playing poker.

"Seriously?" Nexus said out loud, even though the men can't understand him. "Re-quip skill, time freeze." As soon as those words left his mouth time stood still and the world gained a blue hue. "I guess I should punish them for their superiors. Eh not that matters."
"Re-quip weapon M-67 Frag grenades." He said walking around the table.

Nexus walked up to one of the men sitting at the table and put a frag in front of him and pulled the pin. He held his hand in front of him open with his fingers splayed and blue orb appeared in his palm. Blue squares appeared around it then there was a small flash and a new frag was sitting there.

My ability is so overpowered. Nexus thought. Oh well there's nothing I can do about it.

He repeated the same process for the other players and stepped back to watch the fire-works.

"Re-quip skill, energy shield."

This time, Nexus' body was wreathed in a yellowish electricity, which quickly faded. When he changed his skill the world lost its blue hue and time returned to normal. The men at the table all looked down in their laps and their eyes widened in fear. A few seconds later the frags went off scattering blood, guts, and pieces of bone everywhere.

Now that I think about it I probably should have seen that coming. Nexus thought, pulling a piece of burnt skin off of his face. I really wish my shields wouldn't let anything physical through at all. 'Cause this is just gross.

When his ears stopped ringing Nexus heard an ominous hissing noise that was growing in pitch. Nexus just shrugged and started walking towards the door. Just as he reached the door the hissing grew to a full screech, like that of a banshee.

"Shit." Nexus mumbled. *BOOM*

The room exploded sending Nexus crashing into the wall across the hall. He tried to stand up but immediately dropped to the floor with his ears ringing. Then his vision faded to black.

-several minutes later-

"Ugh, I should have run." Nexus said standing up, clutching his head.

He walked to the end of the hallway and reached some stairs. Looking up he sighed and started his climb. As Nexus was climbing he noticed that something was off. Only when he got to the top of the stairs did he notice what it was. The alarm had changed.

ATTENTION ALL PERSONELL, EVACTUATE IMMEDIATELY. I REPEATE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY.
What the hell? Did I really scare them that bad? Nexus thought.

He was standing in a hallway that was lined with windows on his right and a bare concrete wall to his left. Looking out the window he say people running all over the place trying to get to the trucks and helicopters. Nexus just shrugged and continued to the door at the opposite end of the hallway. When he reached the door he pushed it open and his ears we're almost immediately filled with a roaring sound. He looked around for the noise but didn't see anything that could possibly be making that sound.

"No. It can't be…" Nexus said. He looked up at the sky and almost immediately saw what was making the roaring noise and his breath caught in his throat.
