Hello everyone! This is it! It's finally here! This is where the story really starts picking up. Thank you all again for your support and patience and hope you enjoy today's chapter :)

Non Pov- Two armed mercenaries were standing outside a small thick titanium door leading into the lab. The door was well hidden, mostly covered in brush from the forest. The man on the left sighed in boredom. "You think we get paid enough for this?" He asked his partner.

His friend shrugged and replied. "Probably not. We work for an organization that technically. 'doesn't exist'."

The first guy shook his head. "Where DO we get our funding from? I mean. It's not like we have a charity going on or something."

"We don't get paid to ask questions. Besides it beat's being in Nikolai's division." The second man remarked.

The first guy chuckled. "Amen to that. I'd rather guard a stupid door than risk my life hunting fucking super humans."

The second guy nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Project Red has been giving us a hell of an ass kicking. We haven't had a subject cause so much damage to us since Reap-"

"Pew. Thump."

The man was silenced mid sentence when a silenced shot came from the woods and a bullet hit him right between his eyes.

"Oh shit!" Before the first merc could reach his radio another shot was fired hitting him right through his throat. He fell to his knees choking and gurgling on his own blood before falling forward and landed dead with a thud.

A moment later Pyrrha and Emerald emerged from the dense woods. They walked slowly and quietly while looking around. Their weapons ready. When they saw that the coast was clear Pyrrha turned to where they emerged from and made a quiet whistle.

Slowly making they're way out of the woods was. Max, Warren, Brooke, Victoria, and Courtney. "Courtney you ok?" Max asked.

Courtney was holding one of the rifles Pyrrha took from the lighthouse with a silencer attached to it. Her hands were were shaking. "Yeah...I'm fine." She replied while taking deep breaths. She jut made her first two kills.

"I have to admit. That was good marksmanship." Emerald praised while looting the two bodies. "All that practice paid off."

Courtney nodded silently taking the compliment. "I...I did it for Taylor."

Pyrrha walked up to her placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You did good. Very good."

"Does...Does it get easier?" She asked.

"No." Both Pyrrha and Emerald replied at the same time.

Courtney looked at the weapon in her hands which were still trembling. Victoria came behind her and hugged her from behind. She immediately relaxed. "I'm right here." She whispered in her ear.

Emerald stood up and held out two rifles. "Who wants them?"

Warren holstered the pistol he was holding and carefully grabbed the M4 from Emerald. "Whoa.' He mumbled to himself.

"You ok Warren? You can still go back to the R.V with Dana and Juliet." Brooke said while placing a hand on his back.

He took a deep breath and shook his head. "No. I'm not going to let you go in there without me. I can do this."

Max walked up and slowly grabbed the other rifle. "Ok...Ok...You can do this Max." She muttered to herself.

Pyrrha stood in front of her and placed both hands on the shorter girls shoulder. "Max. You absolutely sure?"

Max took a deep breath and released it before answering. "Yeah. I'm sure."

Pyrrha agave her a small smile and leaned down giving her a quick kiss. "Ok." She let go of Max and walked over to Emerald. "We're ready."

Emerald gave a quick nod. "Alright. Let's finally do this." She turned to the group. "Everyone, remember to stick to the plan alright?" When they all nodded Emerald went to the door and found a security coded lock and a facial recognition scanner. "Oh...Well fuck."

Brooke walked over to the man that was shot in the throat. "Hopefully this still works." Before anyone could question what she was doing she closed her eyes. A moment later she stood up and hefted the corpse up with ease using her aura. She placed the face against the scanner. When it scanned and beeped she tossed the body aside and punched in a code. There was a second beep then the sound of locks being unlocked and the door slowly creaked open.

"Whoa! How did you know the code?" Emerald asked in slight shock.

"Well from what I studied. The human brain. If it wasn't damaged. Is still active for about ten minutes after death. I honestly didn't think it would work either. I got the code and a few codes to other sections and some layout about the lab...This place is huge." answered with a slight tremble at the end.

Emerald smirked. "Well. This made things a lot easier. We don't need them alive for you to read them. Just avoid head shots." She turned to everyone else. "Last chance to walk away."

When no one moved she took that as they're cue to push forward. Emerald readied her pistol and carefully walked through the door. Pyrrha mouthed the words. 'stay behind us' and followed Emerald with Milo and Akouo ready. Inside was just a long stairwell leading downwards. The entire stairwell covered in bright white. "Creepy." Pyrrha thought as she followed Emerald down. When the two huntresses reached the bottom after about seven minutes. Emerald bent down and open the door just a crack and peeked through.

She recognized it as the main lobby. Black uniformed mercenaries and people in lab coats were bustling about. "Damn. That's a lot of people." Emerald closed the door quietly and turned to the group. "There is no way of getting through without being detected."

"Can't you use you semblance?" Courtney asked.

"No. Everyone's semblance does have a limit. I can alter the mind of two people at once. And even that gives me a big headache." Emerald answered.

"What do we do then?" Warren asked.

Pyrrah and Emerald shared a look and nodded. Pyrrha turned to her friends. "Look's we have no other choice but to fight them. Max. I want you and everyone else to stay here and cover the exits while me and Emerald clear out the room."

"By yourselves?" Max asked with slight fear in her voice.

Both Emerald and Pyrrha couldn't help but smirk. "Don't worry. We'll be fine." Pyrrha then turned to Emerald. "Ready?"

She cocked her pistol. "Fuck yeah."

Before they could storm out quickly grabbed both of their arms. "Wait!" When they stopped she continued. "There are two alarms. One by the elevator and one by the main desk. There are also a few camera's in each corner of the room."

"How the hell do you know that Max?" Victoria asked.

Max cleared her throat before replying. "I used my pow...I mean my semblance to rewind time. I watched as some of the people ran for the alarm's. And Emerald had Brooke use her semblance on one of the scientist. She told me where all the camera's were and I rewound...By the way can you two not make it so...Messy?"

Emerald was once again impressed. "Huh...Smart girl you have there Nikos."

Max blushed heavily but Pyrrha smiled. "Thank you. You want to get the alarms while I go for the camera's?"

Emerald readied her gun again. "Sounds like a plan." Both Emerald and Pyrrha pressed they're back's on on the wall on each side of the door. Pyrrha counted down from five using her fingers. five. Four. Three. Two. One.

They both barreled through the door and into the large lobby. Before anyone could react Emerald grabbed a knife from one of her holsters, infused it with some aura and threw it as hard as she could at the alarm on the wall behind the main desk. While Pyrrha quickly used her semblance to pull the four camera's from the corners off the walls.

The room went into panic. The people in the lab coats screamed and ran around trying to find the nearest exit. The few mercenaries opened fired. Emerald charged at the nearest one and jumped over him dodging his bullets and landed behind him. As soon as he turned around she aimed the gun at his head and fired. She quickly grabbed his rifle and shot a group of scientists who were running towards the elevator and the alarm.

Pyrrha was in front of a small firing squad. Four men raised they're weapons at her and prepared to fire. She threw her shield and it spun through the air like a frisbee and used her semblance to control it making it hit each one of them in the head knocking them out as it circled back into her hand.

Emerald ran to the elevator and stopped in front of it as more scientist tried to make a run for it. She raised her weapon and sneered. "Where is he? Where is my son!" She yelled at the small terrified group.

A woman in her late twenty's raised her hands along with everyone else. "We..We..We don't know! Only a select few are allowed down in the lower levels! Please! It's not our fault!" She was crying at this point.

Emerald did not like that answer. "Then your all useless!" The group screamed as she pulled the trigger and watched as they dropped like flies.

Pyyrha was on the other side of the room fighting off the last of the armed merc's. "Someone radio Trinity and Reaper damn it!" One of them yelled as they fired at Pyrrha. Pyrrha raised her shield and blocked the incoming bullets. When the firing paused she jumped up and spun landing on the ceiling and quickly launched herself so that she was behind the squad. She quickly spun around and sliced the hand off of one who was about to use his radio. He screamed and kneeled in pain as Pyrrha stabbed him in the head.

When the rest of the squad turned around she charged at them and bashed her into one knocking him to the ground then quickly spun around slicing the neck of the one behind her. She used her semblance to rip the rifle out of the last one's hands as he was about to fire and threw it at the guy who was about to stand back up knocking him down again. The last one pulled out his pistol and was about to fire but Pyrrha changed her blade into its spear form and threw it right into his head.

When he landed with a thud she sighed as she walked up and pulled her blade out. "I always hated killing people."

"Nice job Nikos. Your just as good as I remembered." Pyrrha turned around to see Emerald walking up to her. As the man who was still laying on the ground groaned and tried to sit up. Emerald casually shot him in the head with her rifle. "Although these bastards don't put up much of a challenge."

I flicked the blood off my blade. "Did you really have to kill all those scientists? They were unarmed."

She frowned. "Yes I had too. They would have been trouble later on. It's better to take care of them now."

Max and her friends walked into the lobby as the two huntresses argued. They all looked around a bit mortified at what they were seeing. "I...Had no idea Pyrrha was even capable of this." Max thought to herself as they approached they're group leader's.

"I understand your upset Emerald but-"

Emerald cut her off by grabbing the top of her breast plate and pulling her close. They're faces inches apart. "You. Have. No. Idea what these 'people' are capable of. I spent seven moths in this hell hole. They couldn't torture me normally...So Trinity got creative."

Pyrhha blinked a few times then relization hit her. "Emerald...Did they."

Emerald snarled and pushed her away. "Keep your fucking pity. All I want you to do is help me get my son back, and kill any of these bastards you see. Armed or not." She then stormed over to the group of corpses and started searching for ammo and other essentials.

Pyrrha gripped her weapons tightly. Hands slightly shaking. "I know Emerald has done wrong. But not even she deserved to...Go through something like that." Pyrrha took a deep breath to calm herself. Trying to remember everything she was taught. 'Always remain calm.' She felt Max's hand ontop of her making the red head stop shaking.

"Pyrrha. It's ok." Max whispered trying to calm her down.

Pyrhha turned to Max with a small smile. "Thank's."

"I got something!" Brooke yelled.

Everyone walked over to Brooke. None of them knowing Emerald took a radio from one of the bodies and hid it inside her hoodie. When they reached her she stood up from kneeling next to one of the dead scientist. She was seething. "She's not dead..."

"Who?" Warren asked rubbing her arm to calm her.

"Trinity...She's still alive and she's here."

Victoria was the first one to react. "What!? How the fuck is that possible! I threw that fucking cunt off the cliff! I saw it!" Victoria screamed. Tears threatening to spill from anger and sorrow.

"Tori calm down." Courtney said soothingly trying to calm her friend.

Emerald loaded a new clip into her gun and. "I'll make sure she stays dead this time. Learn anything else?"

Brooke nodded and replied. "Yes. if we take the elevator the security room is on the seventeenth floor. That floor also has a a room called. 'The aura armory.'

"I don't like the sound of that." Warren said nervously

Emerald grabbed an I.D badge from one of the corpses and headed for the elevator. "Come on there's no time to screw around. We need to take control of that security room before they find out what happened here."

Meanwhile in said security room sat a more chubby man in a security uniform sitting in front of a huge collection of screens. Each screen flashing to different locations throughout the facility. "Mmmm. Cream filled." He leaned back in his chair and moaned as he took another bite from his donut.

*Beep Beep*

"Hmm?" He spun around in his chair and typed away at the keyboard infront of him. Four black screens popped up infront of him. "All the lobby camera's offline at once?" He set his snack down and rolled to the other end of the table and picked up the phone dialing it.

"Oh! Oh! Oh yes! Fuck!"

*Ring Ring!"

"Grrr. This better be fucking important!" Trinity yelled after shoving someone off of her. She reached over to her nightstand and answered while trying to catch her breath. "What!?"

"Sorry to interrupt ma'am but for some odd reason all the camera's in the main lobby are offline."

Trinity got out of bed. Ignoring decency and walked over to a computer that was on a desk in her room. She set the phone down and brought up the live camera feeds. "Hmmm..." She picked the phone back up. "Call the front desk."

"I called before calling you. No one picked up."

Trinity's eyes narrowed. "Send someone up. I'll be there soon." She hung up and turned to her partner. "Sorry darling looks like we'll have to reschedule. We're going up to the main lobby. See what's going on."

Reaper had just put her helmet back on. "As you wish mistress." Reaper replied in her usual even dead tone.

Trinity squealed. "Oh I love it when you call me that! Look's like I was finally able to drill that into your head." Trinity started picking up her clothes. "Let's see what these morons screwed up this time."

Back into the security room- The chubby security officer spun in his chair and looked at the door when he started hearing gunfire, yelling and screaming.

"Oh shit!" He went into a panic and picked up the phone again. But before he dialed the number the steel door sliid up and the man froze seeing Pyrrha and Emerald staring at him.

Emerald smirked and raised her rifle at him. "Knock knock."

*Bang!*
