I am so sorry for the delay. As you may know I was sick over and before winter break and have lots of work to make up. I can tell you that chapters will be delayed but I will try to get them done well. Like I said before, sorry for the delay.

CHAPTER 16

Bonnie POV

The guards were falling one by one, Zach must've been shooting. The hail of bullets assaulting me were much less severe now and I could fire off a shot every once in a while. I popped out of cover to quickly fire my shotgun at the guard who decided to try and rush me. He went flying back with his chest full of holes. I ran across the room and slid behind a wooden shipping crate. I strapped the shotgun back to my leg and unslung my rifle. Taking careful aim at one of the guards I pulled the trigger once. His helmet flew off his head and a hole appeared in his face. He slumped over and lay still. 6 more remained. I heard one shout "cover me!" I immediately looked and saw that he was starting to pull the pin on a grenade. Time seemed to slow down as I dove to the side to get a better shot. I hit the ground hard and fired wildly in his direction. One of the bullets hit his leg and he dropped the grenade and clutched his leg in pain before realizing his mistake. He scrambled for the explosive but as he reached it it blew up. Taking him and two others out. The last three grouped together and took turns shooting at me. They were slowly backing away towards the door. I fired one of my blades and it hit the leg of one of the guards. His allies quickly backed away from him, leaving him in the open. He yelled at them, but they disregarded him and continued to run the other way. His expression turned from one of shock to one of anger. He pointed his gun at his fleeing allies and fired till the clip ran dry. They both fell and he pulled out a pistol. He fired at me but I dodged the volley of bullets. I fired the second blade and it dug deep into his chest. Both of the blades returned and I continued forward.

Zach POV

I kicked a guard over the railing. He fell onto the factory floor below. It seemed that all of the guards had suits now. Some of them were smart and grabbed factory equipment to use as weapons. I switched my sword into gladiator mode and slashed open one guards stomach. I sheathed it and pulled out my knife, plasma burning on its edge. I slashed the nearest guard's throat and blocked another's attack. They were wielding a rock cutter and it looked like they had kept it sharp. I ducked under the next attack and kicked his knee, shattering the bone even through the suit. He fell and I jumped over him. I sheathed my knife and drew my sword. A group of the guards made a final charge at me with one huge piece of equipment. It was spewing fire at me. I dove to the floor and barely avoided incineration. I crawled towards the machine and planted a VPD on it. I then made a hook and planted it in the side of the platform I was on. I held on to it and jumped off. Rope came out of the hook and I slowly descended. Once I hit the floor the machine above me exploded. I dodged the debris and charged further into the facility.

Marionette POV

"so where are they?" I asked the foreman. I was able to determine that Freddy and the others weren't dead but being held somewhere in the manufacturing section of the facility. I could tell the people were uncomfortable around me. Probably because of my past. " sorry. That is classified" said the foreman in a very official tone. I frowned. I couldn't interrogate him. There was a few guards in the room but enough to sound the alarm if I attacked. I walked out of the room. I had to get him. Apparently the only others who knew where they were was a few scientists, who had advanced security. I looked over the section. I would have to be careful. Any bodies found and alarms would sound. I looked around to see if anyone was looking. No one was, they were too preoccupied with building something. I jumped to the factory floor below. I landed without a sound and slid into the shadows. I silently made my way to where I thought they might be. I hoped they wouldn't but it could be a possibility. The garbage disposal, except this one was made for factory byproduct. I searched and after double checking, assured myself they weren't here. I moved on to the next place I knew of... The lab. I got to the door as one of the scientists walked out. I hid, since the lab was restricted. The scientist walked a bit further before a shadow pulled him into the dark. I threw him to the wall. He hit and fell to the ground. I stood over him, claws raised. "Wait" he said. I stopped and asked" Where are they". He looked confused for a minute before he realized who I was talking about. "They are in dimitri's private prison." I punched him hard and caught his unconscious body. Laying him down out of sight I walked out and started towards dimitri's office. I got out of the area and made it to his office. Two guards were posted at the door. I walked up to them. " no one is allowed in unless asked" they said. I started to turn away before grabbing their heads and slamming them together. They both fell to the ground and I dragged them to the shadows. I then walked back to the door and entered. Dimitri was nowhere to be seen. I searched the area and found a small button underneath a shelf. A wall started to move. Suddenly a sword went through my throat, slicing through my voice box. I tried to gasp but only static came out. My vision faded but I felt myself being dragged out. My vision returned to me after I was dropped. I was surrounded by... Guards, but they were in armor. Animatronic armor. One punched me and I felt myself be thrown to a wall. I hit the wall and laid limp on the ground, hoping they would think I was gone.

I need any ideas you guys have, please tell me in comments or pm. No idea is bad so please tell me.
