Chapter five goes into the hive!

The squad was resting on the elevator on it's way up. Once it reaches the top, multiple footsteps are heard from the door.

"Alright, I'm guessing that this elevator led us to a building." Kate explained. "We'll clear it out, and we'll try to make a base."

"Clearing out huh? Good thing I have this minigun!" Izzy exclaims.

"Whoa, no need to make holes in the wrong places." Gwen stopped her.

"Kate, you'll take point. Me and Gwen will be behind you." Heather explained. "The rest of you, stay put."

Kate then pressed the button to open the door and got ready to attack. But then she was met with a pleasant surprise. Multiple people were inside the building, mainly carpenters and interns. But there were some other ex-contestants with them. These were MacArthur, Sanders, Brody, Leonard and Tammy.

"Attack!" MacArthur yells in seeing some unexpected visitors thinking they're creatures and tackles Kate.

"Wait, MacArthur! They're survivors!" Sanders yells.

"Umm, yeah, totally knew that." MacArthur says as she gets off Kate.

"Well, this is a pleasent surprise." Heather states.

"So, is this all of you?" Gwen asked.

"Well, a bunch of people were running towards the dock." Sanders explains. "We tried to call them here, but they didn't hear us."

"I'll call them." Kate says as she takes out her PDA.

But then she sees the signal down.

"Ah crap." She exclaims.

"What?" Izzy asks.

"Signal down in the building." Kate says. "You guys hold the fort here. I'll get them."

"Wait, who died and made you leader?" MacArthur exclaims. "We are police cadets, we were trained for stuff like this!"

"I am an AMS agent." Kate explains. "I have better insight into the situation than you. I'll have to go now."

MacArthur tries to assert her dominance but Sanders stops her. Kate walks toward the reinforced door and looks at the keypad. She puts her PDA screenfirst onto the keypad and the door starts to open. With her gun in hand, she rushed out, the door closing behind her

"So, you have snacks?" Gwen asks.

"Yeah, we got a couple sandwiches at the back." Brody says.

"I'll come with you." Cameron says.

Then Gwen and Cameron walked to the back of the room to some boxes. As they open the boxes to have some snacks, Heather explains to everyone the matter of the situation.

15 minutes later

"Well, that certainly is a lot to take in." MacArthur exclaims.

"You say this is made by machines? Nay! This be the work of dark magic!" Leonard yells.

"We must find a spell to stop this madness!" Tammy yells.

"How are these guys still alive?" Heather asks.

"Plot reasons!" Izzy yells.

"What does she mean?" Brody asks.

"Eh, it's just Izzy being Izzy." Gwen explains.

Just then, the door opens as Kate returns with the dock group.

"Hmm, well this is an expansion to the crew." Alejandro says.

"So, have we found a way out?" Gwen asks.

"Don't worry, while I was there, I contacted some AMS agents." Kate explains. "They are sending boats to our location."

"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Izzy yells.

"Uhm, guys?" Brick warns.

Suddenly, as they look at the beach, they see a giant monstrous headless suit of armor with a giant axe. It was led by the small bat-humanoid that was seen back at the mountain. The small creature looked at them and grinned…

"You'll never leave here alive, AMS agents." it says. "You can't protect these people forever. Thornheart will open Pandora's Box again, and it'll be the end of your future. Go Kuarl!"

The headless suit of armor let out a roar and stomped forth. Gwen takes out her PDA and begins scanning…

Judgment

Type: 28

Weakpoint: Zeal

"Zeal?! Which is Zeal?!" Gwen yelled.

"If I were to guess, the small one." Heather stated.

"All of you, retreat! We'll handle this." Ryan says to the ones without firearms.

"Let us defeat this foe for you!" Leonard yells.

"Our magic is strong enough to defeat them." Tammy says.

"No! It doesn't!" Sanders yells as she drags the duo back into the building.

But without warning, Izzy began firing at the duo with her minigun, but couldn't do much damage, because of Kuarl's armor and Zeal's flight. Her weapon then overheats.

"Ah crap!" Izzy exclaims.

As the rest use their guns to shoot at the small creature while avoiding the attacks from the big one, Zoey grabs Izzy's attention…

"You still got dynamite?" she asks.

"Sure do!" Izzy assures.

Izzy gives Zoey a stick of dynamite, lights it and runs towards Kuarl. The suit tries to attack her but she slides under its legs. She jumps up to the top of the suit and throws the dynamite into its exposed head. She then notices Zeal charging towards her. She jumps towards it, slamming it to the ground at the same time as the dynamite explodes inside Kuarl. She then takes out an arrow from her quiver and stabs the creature with it.

"Wow, now that's cool." MacArthur exclaims.

"Okay, now that that's done, let's go." Kate instructs.

Then the crowd rushes towards the docks.
