Getting to Nevada was a breeze, getting into the prison was harder. The prison sat within boundaries covered in barbed wire. Past that, guard dogs roamed, watching every move. Even further, laser security and cameras watched the doors.
Luckily they had espio, a natural expert at stealth. Even without the second chaos emerald, which changes appearance, he could slip by anything unnoticed. Unfortunately Cory was the overweight and loud. They were caught in minutes. Thrown into a single cell, everyone glared at Cory except Michael because he was pure of heart.
Espio caught sight of Lara, who was in a cell across the room, passed out. They searched the room for a way to get out, but were unable to find one. They decided to wait it out.
Some time later, espio looked out after hearing a Commotion. Across the way, a guard had entered paradise cell, but it looked like Lara had escaped and let the other prisoners out, who beat the guards to death.
"now is the time." espio said, moving over to a Crack in the wall and pulling the panel out, revealing a passageway, "let's go, losers."
Cory gasped with excitement and pushed espio out of the way, moving into the hole. Espio grunted and followed him, the others close by.
Meanwhile, an airship approached area 51, holding none other than the bus driver. He now was a zeppelin driver, but bus driver is still his name.
"sir, I'm in position."
"good," Hitler said over the intercom, "now wait."
The bus driver soluted, though Hitler couldn't see him. He put the zeppelin in hover mode and sat back, reading his book about bus's.
Back in the prison, the gang made it out of the tunnels and found themselves in a courtyard filled with crates which in turn were filled with something they didn't know because they weren't open.
They saw lara get into a truck and they stealthily snuck over to the truck, only getting caught once. They killed the guard who caught them. They jumped in after Lara, only narrowly avoiding her gunfire.
"don't worry. We are after the chaos emerald too." Cory said, too loud.
"shh, you mean the infada stone?" she replied in her British accent.
"no. I'm looking for the chaos emerald. It's in area 51."
Lara ignored him.
Soon the truck began to move. It went straight into area 51. Cory looked through all the crates, but there was only bags of organs. Nothing useful here.
Cory and the gang got out in a storage area, avoiding the drivers of the truck.
"here we are, the final frontier." Cory said, putting his arms to the sides.
"what does that even mean?" espio said.
Cory shrugged and began walking forward, only to be stopped by Lara, who pointed to lasers on the ground. Shaking her head, she jumped straight over them and did a roll, landing upright. The rest of the gang were spellbound and amazed, except for espio, who could easily do that. He proved this by perfectly mimicking the jump, but without the roll, and landed in a crouch.
Espio glared at Lara. A rivalry had begun.
The rest of the gang got over the jump, except for Cory, who could hardly get off the ground.
"don't worry, I got this." Cory said, taking out a chaos emerald and putting it in front of the laser. Everyone protested as the laser was broken into a million others and reflected across the room. One beam hit newt, and it was all over. The alarms rang and guards began advancing, guns at the ready.
Cory took out his Katana as espio and Micheal took ready positions. Newt sat there uselessly. Lara unholstered her pistols and pointed them at the guards.
Espio jumped up onto the ceiling and began blending in with the panels. As he went across, he threw shurikens at the guards below, piercing their armor and causing them to lose control, some even began openly firing at their fellow guards.
Lara jumped over a guard, shooting at him as she went above him, instantly killing him. She dodged a few bullets and began firing rapidly at the guards, killing many of them.
Michael disco danced around them, turning them into piles of dust. He moonwalked backwards and threw his Fedora at the guards remaining, killing many of them. Only one remained. Cory killed him with his Katana.
"come on, we need to move." espio shouted, running away.
"since when is he in charge?" Cory did said as the rest followed espio. He reluctantly followed suit.
They made their way through the base, killing guards as they went along. Eventually they came across a large room with three doors. Suddenly, a large man with two machine guns jumped down and landed before them.
"stop right there, I'm that one guy from wolfenstein 3d and I'm gunna kill you." he said.
"let's do this, guys." Michael said.
"no. I'm going to kill him to prove my worth." Cory said, taking out his Katana and putting on his Fedora. He entered his seppuku form, running along and avoiding the machine gun fire. Cory entered seppuku due, becoming even more powerful. He slashed at the man, cutting off both of his hands in the process.
Cory entered seppuku tre, a purple aura surrounding him. He began slashing at the man as he screamed in agony. The rest of the gang watched in horror as Cory massacred the man. After what felt like hours, Cory stabbed the man's heart, he let out one last cry as he died. The room around him covered in blood and… body parts.
"let's go." Cory said. The rest followed him, still in total shock. What had Cory become?
They discovered a large chamber that was very dark, so dark they couldn't see a thing. They felt around with their hands, trying to find a light switch. Espio could see in the dark, so he had no problem getting through.
Eventually they all made it to a side room where they found a switch. Flipping it, they were spellbound by the sight of aliens on lab tables, some of them were obviously experimented on and cut open. Everyone was shocked except for espio, who already knew of aliens existence.
As they searched the area, they discovered yet another strange sighting: orca whales in a large tank. Nobody knew what to think of it, even espio was somewhat confused by it. But they decided to stop caring.
Eventually they located a spacecraft, probably one that crashed landed with the aliens. They made their way inside only to find more guards.
"heh, no problem." espio muttered as he began killing the guards. Lara followed suit, using gymnast moves to avoid the gunfire. They battled it out, trying to one up each other. Eventually all the guards were gone.
Cory climbed up stairs to find the fourth chaos emerald: null. He grabbed it as Michael began messing with the ship controls. Eventually he got it working and they flew the ship out of there, heading back toward DC. Suddenly, though, the airship appeared and caught them in a tractor beam. Troopers swung out of the ship, carrying saws that they used to cut through the spacecraft. The cockpit soon became flooded with troopers, who each carried a light blade. Cory took out his katana, taking three troops at once as he dodged and slashed at them. One of them did an overhead swipe, which Cory dodged, but he fell back into another one of the troops, who slashed cory's arm, blood soon soaked the clothes covering his arm, but Cory fought back. Using his katana, he did a broad swing and caught all three in the same hit, crumbling them down to the floor.
Michael and newt fought with the controls, trying to get the ship away from the airship while espio and Lara shot and sliced at the troops respectively. It looked like they were going to win.
Unfortunately, that was short lived as the ceiling collapsed and a giant mech holding the bus driver fell in.
"you again!" Cory shouted, reminded of his horrible time in Iowa.
"yes, it's me you cockroach. You just won't die will you?! But now, you'll be powerless." as he said this, he activated another tractor beam, this one sucking the fourth emerald into a socket in the mech's chest, "this mech amplifies the power of the emerald, making it not only null the power of the emeralds, but also the abilities of all of you."
Espio instantly felt less athletic, while Michael lost his swag. Cory was the worst, as he lost his appearance change. Newt stayed the same.
Bus driver laughed as he watched his enemies become powerless. Cory ran up with his sword, slashing, but it was no use. He put on his Fedora, and tried to enter seppuku form, but it was to no avail. He couldn't even enter his due or tre forms without the appearance change.
Espio looked over at Lara, "maybe instead of competing, we should work together."
Lara nodded as she got in a ready position. Espio followed suit. They charged the robot, guns and shurikens at the ready. Lara gave espio a boost in leaping up, to which he smashed the glass on the mech's helmet. Lara, meanwhile, shot at the wires that could be seen within the joints of the robot, instantly destroying the legs.
The bus driver became angry and initialized his missile attacks, shooting missiles out of his back at the two. Espio narrowly dodged them, causing them to hit the robot's arm instead, breaking it off. Lara was less lucky as she was hit with a missile.
"arrrg! You bothersome fools! You'll see me again someday." the bus driver said as he detached the legs from the mech and flew back to his airship, flying away with the emerald.
Without the tractor beam, the ship began falling toward the ground, crashing and burning as it crash landed. Everyone coughed as the dust settled.
"why don't I get the spotlight anymore!?" Cory shouted as he came to.
Espio got up and looked around, seeing Lara laying on the ground looking very pale.
"Lara…"
"e-espio"
"hang in there Lara."
"espio… I want to live in a world without nazi…"
"Lara, there is no world without nazis, it's only a fantasy."
"i know… but I want to believe."
"lara"
Lara sighed as she closed her eyes forever.
"Lara?" espio said shaking her, everyone stared at him with varying emotions.
Espio picked up Lara and screamed.
"no! This can't be happening. There's no reason for me to go on. Wha-.. What am I fighting fooooor?!"
