mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"Jeremy kept moving along the old underground areas, watching as random objects rained down on him. He was bloodied and bruised from glass shards that kept hitting him, and thoroughly unhappy. He walked up some old metal stairs, grimacing as a jutting bit of steel cut his leg. He looked down at himself. "Good God, I look like an axe murderer," he remarked as though discussing the weather. A massive crash sounded at a distance in front of him, and Jeremy shrugged. Then he heard moaning. Something was alive in there! He quickened his pace, not minding the slivers of glass, metal, and other random things all through his body./span/pre

mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"Glade, still with her supergun deployed, now walked at the head of the group, a powerful flashlight built into her arm lighting the way. They came to a large pit, seemingly bottomless. "Well, this could be a problem for some of us," Glade thoughtfully mentioned. The two psychic felines stepped aside. "We can teleport," Mew said. Nick went to stand by them. "Built-in gyros and shock absorbers," he added. Magnus went over to them. "Jetpack," he said, shouldering it. Brandon went to stand by the group. "Awesomeness," he said as his method. The others looked at him. "What?" Brandon asked. Glade went to stand by the other five, leaving Will and Abby behind. They had no special abilities to protect themselves from such a long fall. Mewtwo grabbed Abby's hand, and teleported both of them down. Mew did the same thing for Will, and the rest used their various methods to end up at the bottom of the pit. Finally, all of them regrouped, and took a moment to rest, and look up at where they just were. "How deep is this facility?" Will wondered aloud./span/pre

mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"Jeremy came to an entire room, detached from its surroundings and fallen all the way down the pit. He thought he recognized it, then remembered: This was the conference room. People were in there! He attempted to kick down the door, but it wouldn't budge. Jeremy frowned. "Fine! When in doubt, USE ROCKETS!" He pulled out his RPG and fired at the door, which was blown off its hinges, landing on the other side of the room. He was greeted by Blue, Princess, and Death slumped on the floor, knocked out or dead. "Seriously? Are you guys even alive?" Jeremy said, checking for pulses. All three of them had weak, but still noticeable heartbeats. He dragged them into more comfortable positions, and pulled out some medical kits from his pouch. "Guess Brandon was right, I would end up needing these," he mentioned. He tried to remember some medical stuff from his Scouthood, but it all ended with 'and then wait until the paramedics arrive'. Jeremy attempted to patch the three up as best he could, but it wasn't going to do much unless they were awake. "Well, I don't see a defibrillator, so I guess this might work," Jeremy said, stretching a tiny band of electricity between his fingers. He put it directly to Princess' chest, and she woke up, spluttering and coughing. It was kind of cute to Jeremy, and reminded him of when he was saving Mew. Except most of that was a lie. He did the same to Blue and Death, and waited for them to make a full recovery./span/pre

mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"The group of eight slowly traversed the next floor, until they came to another pit, even deeper. Magnus studied it. "Judging from the scorch marks and molten metal, I'd say this is where the main event happened." Stuff was still raining down the pit, and everything was dark except for the flashlight. Glade looked at the group. "Well, shall we?" she said, and jumped down. "Since when was she the leader?" Mew muttered aside to Brandon. "Since she got a machine gun," Brandon answered, with typical sarcasm./span/pre

There's still stuff raining down, and we have to get to the surface. Can either you or Blue teleport?" Princess shook her head. "After that fall, neither of us have the energy," she mumbled, still lucid. Jeremy rolled his eyes. "Figures we have to do this the hard way," he muttered./span/pre

mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"Glade wondered how this facility had been here the whole time without her, or anyone, knowing. It was huge, and not far below the surface. They had reached the bottom of the huge pit, and she didn't know where to go next. Nick, being helpful, pointed out a building that had fallen, far off in the distance. Having no better option, and wanting to get out of the rain of stuff, the rest of the group decided to go there as well./span/pre

mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"Jeremy was bored. Sure, he had a group of delirious, half-awake creatures to deal with and protect, but what was he supposed to do in the meantime? The room wasn't lit very well, but he spotted a book. It was Machiavelli's The Prince, and he needed some light reading. Jeremy opened page one, and began to read. "Mmm… so that's why medieval people were so misguided," he muttered, and continued reading, oblivious to the massive destruction raining down around him./span/pre

mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin"Mew and Mewtwo, carrying their respective humans, were the first to arrive at the building, and were followed shortly by the rest. The windows were dark. "We can probably get some supplies from in there," Magnus thought. The door had been blown off its hinges. Inside, they saw a hunched figure, reading a small book. Bodies were lying neatly on a table beside it. Glade held out her machine gun. "Come out with your hands and literary paperback up," she ordered. The figure turned towards her, and put down the book. Glade was startled by the brightness of its blue eyes. "My God… Glade?" it said, running forward and stopping to examine her. Glade was shocked. Who was this old, red-haired scientist? Then she looked down at his boots, trademark of Aperture Science. "J… Jeremy?" she asked, beyond belief at this recent turn of events. They embraced. "I've missed you," Jeremy said as he hugged her. "I've missed you too, creator," Glade half-joked. emD'aww, /emMew said, watching the scene./span/pre
