It made a very loud noise with the collectiveness of the creaking and splitting of wood. As Zane pulled out the 2x4 plank Baker quickly grabbed the other end, raising it to the top left corner of the doorway.
English
-
[i]Zane brought his end of the plank down across the door, sliding it Into place.[/i]
-
Zane picked up motion in the room as he set the plank in place. The door knob turned, and the door tried to open, but it couldn’t. Zane started hearing curses as the door began to bang. “Alright, lets go!” Baker told Zane as he walked to the hallway door.
-
[i]Zane followed behind him, keeping a brisk pace.[/i] "Well, he certainly won't be happy."
-
“Nope, definitely not.” The merc agreed as he opened the door, flinging it open. The hall was pitch black, with no light source available. The only light was the incredibly dim fire that lit the room the two were already in.
-
[i]Zane turned on his visors lights, emitting a bright beam in front of him[/i] "Thats better."

Edited by Inflatablepants: 1/2/2018 2:50:14 AMAs he lit the hallway, he saw a horrific sight. It was filled with...corpses. Some were scorched, burnt and ashy. Some were frozen to the wall, others were simply torn apart. Luckily his helm blocked the scent...but as for Baker. “Oh..oh go-BLUGH!” He Yelled as he threw up on the wall. “That’s pleasant.” Dani said sarcastically.
-
[i]The sight only shocked Zane a bit, since he saw worse in the time he served in the military.[/i] "Keep it together baker, I have a feeling it's only gonna get worse."
-
“Ugh...jeez...” Baker said weakly, wiping his mouth with his sleeve. “I guess shit like this doesn’t bother you as much...eh?”
-
"I've seen worse, this is nothing to me....Let's keep moving, hold your breath and you'll be fine. Just look at my back, don't let your eyes wander."
-
“Yea...alright sure.” Baker agreed, moving behind Zane as he held both his hands to his face. There was a door at the end of the hall, it too coated with blood.
-
[i]He approached the door, placing a hand on the slick surface.[/i] "Get ready kid, whoever did this is likely behind this door."
-
“Ya, Maybe. Gunna give it a scan?” Baker asked. “Why wouldn’t he? He’s done it for every other door.” Dani stated.
-
"Don't need to scan for what I know. See enough battles, stop enough bad guys and you'll know when you're about to fight something. You'll be able to feel the malice in the air."
-
“Whoa. Spooky.” Baker commented as he grasped his bow, it repeating the same actions as before. “How do you wanna do this, then?”
-
"I'll engage whatever it is and try to keep it's attention. While I'm fighting, stay back and attack it from afar." [i]He drew his buster sword and clenched it tightly, preparing for battle. Whoever was behind the door had little regard for human life. He had to stop it, but also make sure baker lived.[/i]
-
“....alright, got it. With this guy it was dead or alive, so take your pick. After all the life he’s taken himself, I’ll have no quarrel with a dead man.” Baker told Zane, half drawing his bow already.
-
"He dies. There was no reason to kill these men, the question though is that if necessary could you deliver a fatal blow? Taking a life ain't an easy thing to do."
-
“Nah, not my style.” Baker would respond almost immediately. “I can take him down, I was just saying that you don’t have to hold back.”
-
"Oh believe me..." [i]His armor hissed as he released his limiters, and it glowed as his shield came online.[/i] "I won't be. Let's do this." [i]He raised his leg and kicked down the door, the heavy brass making a large bang.[/i]
-
The door flew forward, crashing on the ground and denting as it made a path out of the dust that was on the ground. As Zane entered, baker moved in swiftly behind him, moving to the right of the entrance. Upon entry into the large circular room, there sat a man on a pedestal. He was old, maybe in his fifties. He had dark black hair that began to grey, and his old eye lids were closed. In the room were bodies and bodies, likely twenty of them. However, they were not dead. All of them were alive. The man chuckled as the two entered “Ah...fresh meat...” He would say slowly. “My little creatures can feed then...hehe. Hahaha. HAHAHAHA!” He laughed, still keeping his eyes closed as everyone in the room began to stir awake from their slumber. Without hesitation, baker fired a blunt arrow. But... It was stopped. It pinged off the air five feet in front of the man, revealing a domed shield around him. “....Crap.” Baker said.
-
"Dont worry about the shield, leave that to me. Use your stun dart to take down these hostages before they surrounded us." [i]He formed and threw multiple concussive grenades at the possessed cultists, attempting to slow them down long enough for Baker to knock them out.[/i]
-
“I only have three more stun darts!” Baker Yelled as he shot at three of the men, shocking them back into unconsciousness. Meanwhile the rest were still disoriented from being awoken in such a fashion. “And no, I GOT THE SHIELD! You get to smacking them silly!” Baker exclaimed. “Just make sure to cover me!” Suddenly Baker got on one knee and raised his hand up to the shield, and a large beam of blue light shot from his hand and into the shield, coating it in a blue light.
-
[i]Zane dashed in and went to work, bouncing between the possessed cultists while hitting them with the flat of his blade.[/i]
-
He managed to take down six of the twenty, before the test of them stood up. However they were still getting their bearings.
-
[i]He continued to bounce between the cultists, striking hard and fast. [/i]
