Chapter 6, break out
Katheryn had a dilemma, she didn't like being told what to do and she found Calculator very annoying, however she didn't know where else to go and Calculator did say she would be able to break something if she went left and she defiantly had the urge to smash something. The walls to the passage became translucent and she could see an armada of Braniac drones. There was a console by the door which sparked and crackled as she drove her red, clawed hands into it.
"Ah, good. Give me a minute and I should be able to get the camera on line."
Katheryn paced up and down the corridor, waiting for Calculator to let her know what to do next.
"Right, there you, my, aren't you an angry looking kitty."
Katheryn looked for the camera and launched herself at it, smashing her fist into it.
"Well that wasn't very nice. Now what do we have here. Oh, that's an invasion force. Right well I guess you want a bit of revenge on Brainiac, well here's your chance. You're near the control room, you need to get in there and smash, well everything. It looks like that's in your skill set. Whilst you're doing that I'll see if I can get some help with your extraction."
Katheryn stood staring at the next camera for a few seconds before stalking down the corridor and into the control room.
A wide selection of drones flooded into the room and headed to stop her from smashing the control. Katheryn leaped from drone to drone, using her claws to smash them apart, whilst do this she fired the hand blasters at the control panels. The room was soon filled with destroyed drones and only one console remained. The door opened, and a humanoid drone fired of a barrage of laser blast, caught off guard she managed to avoid all but one of the blasts, pain shot through her shoulder and her anger rose. Diving forward she reached the drone, grabbed it and through it at the remain console which exploded in a ball of fire. An alarm klaxon rang out, hurting Katheryn's ears, driving her to her knees.
"Right, we don't have much time, that ships about to come down. You're near the teleport chamber but you're also about to get hit with a flood of drones, the ship's about through everything at you. We get some help to you, but it'll take a few minutes before we get the teleporters on line. Good luck."
Calculator's voice cut off and Katheryn made her way to the final room, if the ship was sending everything after her then she would just have to smash them all, maybe that would end her anger. The room was full of drones and Katheryn jumped into the middle of them, they soon overwhelmed her, pinning her to ground. A drone aimed its blaster at her head and Katheryn closed her eyes and waited. A laser blasted through the air, but Kathryn wasn't hit.
"get up girl. The fight's still not over." A figure loomed over her, at first glance Katheryn mistook it for a new type of drone but, as it came closer she could see that it was some kind of a power suit, a bald man visible through the clear dome that acted as a face.
"Who the hell do you think you are, you think you can just appear here and tell me what to do. Are you Calculator."
The figure reached out an oversized hand which Katheryn took. The figure spoke as it lifted her from the broke drones.
"I am Lex Luthor and you'd be wise to watch your tone young..." he paused as he noticed the glowing red ring on her finger.
"Ah, you have one of those dam rings." He mumbled. "I'll forgive the attitude, but may I suggest you whip up some armour to go with those claws."
"What, I can do that?" Katheryn asked
"Of course, you can, most of those rings can manifest you desires to some degree. I suggest you do it quickly, we have company."
Katheryn looked up to see drones flooding through the doorway, concentrating the red light flowed over her hands forming into the claws, the it extended over her body forming a red chainmail top that moulded around her wings and a flowing chainmail skirt Lex Luthor grunted and they both turned to face the hoard of Brainiac drones.
