Prison Break
Mechanos Angel Part 2

Shadow moved silently in the darkness. The others were preparing to attack the guard station and get him enough time to free the prisoners. He didn't know how long he had until they started and he wanted to cover as much ground as possible. Shadow prepared to run when he saw a solder run past, but instead watched as the solder stopped at one of the guard posts. Luckily, they weren't paying attention when Shadow went by, or else the guards would have been all over him by now. Shadow watched them exchange a few words, and the solder ran back the way he came. Shadow continued on, and almost bolted when the alarms went, but instead pressed himself to the wall as the guards ran past. When the hall cleared, Shadow ran towards the prison, praying there wouldn't be any guards.

Meanwhile...

Locke looked at all the guards streaming into the station. "Cyan, barricade the door anyway you can," Celes yelled out. A loud clang filled the station, as the steel security door rolled into place and sealed itself into place. "Will this do?" Cyan called back to Celes, and leaped over one solders blade and kicked him in the face. I hope we bought enough time for them all, Locke thought.

Back at the prison...

Shadow slowly opened the door and looked around. The cells were along one wall, and most of the prisoners were asleep. One guard was left after the alarm went. Shadow crept up behind him and drew his blade. Shadow leapt forwards, placed a hand on the man's mouth and quickly slit the mans throat. Shadow grabbed the key and tossed the corpse aside. He freed the prisoners and tolled them, "Go down the tunnel and head right. Don't worry about me, I'll get you enough time to escape." Shadow turned and hurried towards the guard station, praying his friends were all right.

The Guard station...

Cyan's katana went spinning into the air as he was knocked down. The guard lifted his sword and Cyan winced, anticipation the cold sting of the blade, but instead felt a warm, sticky fluid splatter across his face. He opened his eyes to see Shadow tossing a corpse aside, his blade covered in blood, the glint of death in his eyes. "Cyan, are you all right?" Shadow asked. "Aye, but Locke is worse for wear," Cyan said. "Celes, can you get Locke out of here? Cyan and I will continue on to the main chamber." Shadow turned, picked up Cyan's katana, tossed it back to him and hurried on to the main chamber.
