The Sarcophagus.

Pyrrha, Carolina, Wash and Maine successfully make it inside the vault and begin searching for the Sarcophagus. Inside there was several alien weapons ans ships. Some real fancy stuff to keep in a vault like this. Some of these weapons were deadly enough to take out an entire squad of soldiers with little to no difficulty. And those ships looked way more advanced than anything humans have ever made.

"Alright everyone, spread out. What we need is here somewhere. It's probably something small, easy to miss. Take as many scans as possible, there may be other things we can use" Carolina ordered.

Maine picks up a Brute Shot and growls. Wash walks up and looks at him "That's a good look".

Pyrrha looked around until she saw something on one of the tables. It looked like a short sword and a shield. Curious, Pyrrha picked them both up and looked them over. She put the shield on her arm as she held the sword in her free hand before striking a pose and swung the sword a bit. It felt so light and easy to handle, almost like her knife. And the shield felt much the same, light and easy to move around, something that would make it an effective defense.

Pyrrha then looked to see Wash and Maine who had been watching her. She smiled behind her helmet and struck a pose again "Well?".

"You look badass Pyrrha" Wash said, while Maine gave her a thumbs up.

Pyrrha held back a giggle before looking at her sister "What do you think, Carolina?".

"Very nice sis" Carolina said with some amusement in her tone, before she was contacted by York.

"Carolina, Motion Trackers indicate you got an enemy team outside the door" He said.

"Well, let's hope they're not as good at picking locks as you are, York" Carolina said before speaking to her team "Alright team, we're about to have company".

Wash ran up to her "Boss, I've got good news and bad news".

"Hit me" Carolina said.

"We found the markings we're looking for. The bad news is...They're on that" Wash said as he motions to a container with the markings that were described to them before the mission, revealing it to be the Sarcophagus.

"That?" Carolina asked.

"It's a lot bigger than I expected" Pyrrha said.

"Team A, I got us an exit up here. Straight up the stairwell, door to the roof, helipad" York said over the radio.

"Copy, I'll radio air support" Carolina replied before she began to think "Now, how are we going to get that thing up to the roof?"

Maine shrugs his shoulders and growls and Pyrrha shook her head "There is no way I'm carrying that thing up there".

Carolina thinks before she contacts Maine "York, I saw a window-washer unit on our way into the facility, can you find where it attaches to the building?".

York replied sarcastically "I don't know, that's a tough one, 'lemme see what I can do".

"What are you up to?" Wash asked.

"Improvising. Come here Maine" Carolina ordered and Maine followed her.

"Improvising? I hate it when we do that" Wash said.

"Sometimes there is not choice. Come on Wash, let's guard the door" Pyrrha said, earning a nod from Wash.

The Insurrection Soldiers trying to weld through the door as Carolina pushes the Sarcophagus on a lift connected to the window-washer unit. But time was running out and quickly.

"Better hurry!" Wash called out.

"Maine, it should work fine. You're the only one heavy enough to counterbalance this thing" Carolina said.

"Too high" Maine said, clearly not wanting to do this. Few people knew that Maine was scared of heights. Mainly because he threatens to tear of the jaw of anyone who brings it up.

"Oh, don't be a baby" Carolina kicks Maine out the window and shoots the wire holding up the window-washer platform. Maine free-falls down the building, past two Insurrection Soldiers.

"Hey, did you hear that noise?" One of them asked.

"Probably the sound of you being an idiot" The other one answered.

"Oh, you're probably right...dick-biscuit" The first one said.

Maine lands near the bottom of the tower and the Sarcophagus launches up to the roof where York is "Package is here".

Back with Maine at the bottom he growls in annoyance before he sees some soldiers "Stop right there or we'll...shoot? We-we're gonna' need bigger hand-cuffs. Is-is that a knife? Rifle? Kn-knifle? Ah!"

Maine pulls his Brute Shot out and slowly advances at the soldiers. Pyrrha, Carolina and Wash looks down as they see some explosions, followed by the scream of the enemy soldiers. A clear sign Maine is taking out his anger on them.

"Well that oughta' buy us some time" Carolina said.

"I almost feel bad for the people down there" Wash said.

"So do I" Pyrrha agreed.

"Don't" Carolina ordered.

"What? We said almost" Wash said.

The Insurrection soldiers weld through the door and bust it open. Pyrrha, Wash and Carolina open fire and kill all of the soldiers except for one. Pyrrha wasn't sure how many she hit, but she knew she had killed at least one of them, marking that soldier her second kill... only this time it was much easier than the first one. But she had little time to think on that as a large soldier walks in dramatically, holding a flamethrower.

"What the fuck is with this guy?" Wash asked. The soldier fires his flamethrower and the three freelancers dive for cover "Whoa, that's hot!".

They open fire at the soldier. The soldier, however, has bullet-proof armor and is unaffected by their gunfire. As he continues is attack, Wash throws a grenade toward him. Unfortunately, the soldier fires at the grenade, causing it to explode.

"I've got this. What The-? Ahh!" The Alien weapons overheat and explode, sending Carolina flying back. A fuel rod cannon lands in the middle of the floor in front of Wash. He dives for it and fires it at the soldier. However, the shot bounces off the floor and misses him.

Wash was utterly baffled by what he just saw "What the hell? It bounces?! Who designs a gun that bounces? This is the worst gun ever... of all-".

Carolina pushes him out of the way from the oncoming fire and they take cover "Stay low!".

Pyrrha tries to get closer, but the soldier spots her and fires at her. With little time to react, Pyrrha holds up her shield... which is suddenly powered up by some energy, which protects her from the flames. Pyrrha was amazed, but quickly powers through the flames, closing the distance and struck at the soldier with her new sword, which easily cut through his armor, making him grunt in pain before he kicked Pyrrha back and aimed his flame thrower again.

"Hey!" Carolina called out, making the soldier focus on her again.

Carolina runs across the room, hops over a table, runs up the side of the wall, and backflips, landing on a hanging purple plane. She shoots the flame soldier who, in return, burns the ship's cables. Carolina tosses a grenade into the cockpit and jumps off as the burning ship explodes and knocks the flame soldier over. As he gets up, Pyrrha rushed up and smashed her shield in to his face, the extra force added to the blow by the shield's energy, made the flame soldier fly in to a wall, and he fell down, unmoving.

"That guy was a dick!" Wash said.

"Come on. Let's get moving, you two!" Carolina ordered.

"That bit with the purple plane, that was just showing off" Wash said. As They run away as a banshee falls from the ceiling behind them.

"And Pyrrha?" Carolina said, making her sister look at her "You did good".

Pyrrha smiles behind her helmet as they continue on. They arrive at the roof where York is waiting.

"Come on, come on, hurry!" York smashes the control panel to the door, closing it shut "There, that oughta hold 'em for a while" Soldiers immediately begin to weld through the door "Okay, maybe not. Hey, where's Maine?".

"Carolina kicked him out a window" Pyrrha answered.

"And now he's downstairs, keeping our hosts occupied" Wash added as radios begin broadcasting bruteshot grenade explosions and screaming.

"Man, I almost feel bad for them" York said.

"That's what I said!" Wash said.

"Four- Seven Niner, this is Team Alpha! We need evac on the roof of the tower!" Carolina said over the radio.

"Roger that, I'm on it" Their pilot replied.

"Come on, it's up... here" York trailed of as they noticed someone else had arrived. Someone who made Pyrrha close her legs.

"You!" They see Tex on the roof, setting up an unknown device. Carolina confronts her "What are you doing here? Is that a bomb? I knew it. It was you who blew up the oil platform!".

As Carolina spoke to Tex, Pyrrha was glaring at her, still holding a little grudge from the crotch punch. It was very painful going to the bathroom after that.

"That thing blew up?" Wash asked.

"Somebody's been covering our tracks. You're on the roster too, but they hid your name. Why did they send you?" Carolina demanded.

"Hey, hate to bust up your reunion here, but we've got a problem!" York said as Insurrectionists bust open the door.

"Let's go, go, go, now! Get into position! Completely surround them!" The Commander said as Hornets and soldiers with jetpacks surround the area "No one get behind me! Drop your weapons!" He then turns to York "You... dickhead, disarm the bomb!".

York slowly puts his weapon down "Easy, easy. No reason to get all dramatic! Okay, let me take a crack".

"Just fuckin' do it already!" The Commander demanded.

"Easy, easy, man" York picks up the bomb "Uh... this isn't a bomb. It's a transmitter".

"Alright, it's not a bomb! Wait, a transmitter? What's it transmitting?" The Commander asked.

"Our location" York answered.

"Why would it do that?" The Commander asked.

Pyrrha looks up "I think I know why".

"Well, why?" The Commander demanded.

"You are about to find out" Pyrrha answered.

Back in the Mother of Invention F.I.L.S.S. spoke "System online, Director. Awaiting your command".

The Counselor walks up "If I may Director, I think it would be wise if we-".

"Shut up, Counselor" The Director ordered.

The Counselor backed of "Of course, sir".

Back with the team a Laser homes in on the transmitter. The enemy Commander looks around "What the hell? There were five of them here! What the fuck is going on?!" Carolina deactivates her camouflage and beats the crap out of some soldiers. Tex uses her invisibility to also take out some soldiers "What did I say?! I said one thing! Keep them in front of me!".

"Hey man, you mind holding this for me for a sec?" York hands the transmitter to the Red Demo Man and runs off "Thank you".

A beeping is heard and the Red Demo Man looks up. While that was going on, Pyrrha helped her sister and Tex take out the soldiers. Using her sword to cut down several of the soldiers. They were screaming as they lost limbs and Pyrrha stabbed one through the hear before cutting the throat open of the next one. She couldn't get over how easy it was to kill these soldiers. After her fisrst kill, killing her enemies came more natrually for her... and it almost scared a her a little. Was killing suppoused to be this easy?

The "Mother of Invention" fires its MAC cannon and the enemy commander saw the beam comming "Oh, son of a...".

The building gets hit by the blast, causing the Freelancers to all fly back from the explosion. The blast also creates a large gaping hole on the roof. Tex spots a Pelican in the sky. She grabs a jetpack from a dead soldier and uses it to kick the Sarcophagus off the building. She then flies off. Pyrrha, York, Wash, and Carolina also see the Pelican hovering over them. The four begin to run towards the edge of the building as the hole crumbles down behind them.

"This must be karma for kicking Maine out the window!" Carolina said.

"I don't wanna DO THIIIIIIISSS!" York screams

"SON OF A BIIIIIIIITCH!" Wash screams.

"LOOK OUT BELOOOOOOWWWW!" Pyrrha shouts.

The four jump off the building, with the Pelican rushing down behind them. The three Freelancers free fall down the building in diving position, avoiding oncoming debris and other falling soldiers. Carolina reaches for the Sarcophagus and rides on it. Their Pilot tries to get the Pelican in position with Carolina.

"Line it up! Come on! Come on! Stay on target!" She opens the Pelican's back hatch and begins to slow it down.

Suddenly, two Hornets appear and begin to fire at them. Carolina hops off the Sarcophagus and Washington takes her place on it. He fires his rifle at a Hornet and manages to take it down in mid-air. She successfully pushes Wash and the Sarcophagus safely inside the Pelican. Tex's armor sparks blue. Pyrrha lands on the second hornet and stabs through the glass with her sword, killing the pilot before she jumped of.

"PYRRHA!" Carolina shouts and Pyrrha quickly wraps her arms around her sister's neck as she got on her back, falling with her.

"Well, there goes our ride" York said.

"You think maybe we should've had a fallback plan?" Carolina asked.

"Not the best choice of words sis!" Pyrrha said.

"Hey, what happened to Maine?" York asked and Maine suddenly appears, rescuing them in a Warthog "Whoa! Are we in a car?!".

The Warthog enters a tunnel. The 110 story building slowly crumbles down to the ground. The Warthog then exits the tunnel, with Maine quickly swerving through traffic, dodging oncoming cars. York is riding shotgun and Carolina is on the turret with Pyrrha still on her back.

"You are my god damn hero Maine" Pyrrha said.

Maine just grunts as they drive away.
