(Setting) Dorky's Barcade Under Attack!
| >There wasn't really a window in the room, so it wasn't like they could easily get out. Whatever was out there, they either had to wait for it to leave or go through it somehow.
>Nietzen began to whisper to the other guys.
"I don't know who that is, but they are clearly heavily armed...How do we get out of here? I have no weapons..."
| >Gunfire keeps erupting outside, but one kind of shots gets obviously outstanding, it sounds like shotgun shots, and they can be heard at a closer range while the amount of 'common' gunfire seems to decrease over time, which is making it obvious that the attackers have recieved a sudden opposition, through the sounds of opposing weapon gives no clues on it's owner.
| >Suddenly, footsteps come running towards the Tron machine.
>It begins to open. Somebody is pulling it open.
>Nietzen grabs a chair from the table and folds it to use as a weapon if need be, but the ones who enter are the bar staff.
"We're not armed, don't attack!"
"Somebody else is attacking the bar, but somebody else is now attacking the attackers. We don't know anything, but the ones attacking look like some kind of Phoenix Corps members, but witb colors we've never seen..."
| "They have some sort of camoflage armor that is almost see-through, all we really saw were the guns...It was terrifying, but when one got shot, they fell to the ground and the camo ran out. They were all crimson colored, with designation numbers we've never seen before. I have no idea who they are or why they are attacking us..."
"Hmm...Crimson colored?"
>Nietzen pondered for just a minute, before closing the Tron Machine once again, sealing them all inside.
| >CN puts his deck on his back again as he pulls out the stungun from his laptop case.
"We can worry about way the colors mean later. We should focus on getting out of here."
| (Yay you replied :D)
>The bar owner spoke up.
"There is a secret hatch here, somewhere. We never use it so we honestly don't know where it leads, but I suppose we could take our chances if you really wanted."
>Nietzen then spoke.
"I mean, where COULD it take us?"
"The sewers, the labyrinths, a fucking underground fortress, I literally have no clue dude, we have never bothered to check."
>Nietzen groaned.
"Uh, okay, well what do you prefer? People shooting or dark places?"
| "Well having gone through both experiences, I'm personally going to vote to take our chances in the dark place."
(Of course ;). Why wouldn't I?)
| >RaIn sighed as he heard the shots. His week's been eventful enough. Now this shit? He rolls his eyes and unplugs himself from the laptop, gathering all his stuff and cramming them into his bag.
"Well. I was gonna say that the person in the still was a Phoenix corp soldier. But I don't think we have time to go over details. Let's get out of here, rather than die to these twats."
>RaIn takes a Valkyrie standard handgun out of his bag and loads it swiftly.
"Let's fucking go."
| "Don't have to tell me twice."
>CN stands by the door frame, stungun ready, and waits for the others to lead the way to the exit.
| >The bar hosts quickly ran over to a hidden hatch in the floor over in the corner. They lifted up the metal flooring and saw an old wooden ladder. Real wood was a rarity nowadays, so seeing it was definitely a clue as to how old this hatch really was.
>The gunshots crescendoed, and some footsteps started yelling "IN HERE! BEHIND THE MACHINE!"
>Nietzen ran forward.
"I'll close the hatch behind me and go last. Everybody go!"
>A chink sound from a grenade was heard outside.
| "Alright, don't dawdle though. We're all getting out of here."
>CN waits for the bar staff to descend, meanwhile keeping his ears open, until he begins descending himself.
| "A fucking grenade? Really?! How shoddy are these shitheads..."
>RaIn waits for the staff to file down the hole and turns on the lights built into his finger tips. It wasn't bright or anything, but it'd be enough to see his own hands.
"Alright enough playing the hard ass and let's go before you get a lobotomy with a bullet."
>He called to Nietezen before switching on the tactical light on the handgun and sliding down the ladder himself.
| >Nietzen quickly closed the hatch behind him after everybody came in, and just in time too, before the grenade turned the Tron machine into a firework and Phoenix Corps troops rushed into the room.
>"WHERE DID THEY GO?! THEY COULDN'T HAVE GONE FAR! FIND THEM!"
>The sounds of gunfire had mostly ceased by the time the group got to the bottom of the ladder.
"Alright, time to see what is down here..."
>The dimly lit tunnel had the stench of wet dog and the air of a sauna.
"Jeez.."
| >The tunnel was maybe 6 feet tall at the entrance, so some of the crew had to hunch down to get through. The ground was made of a mossy old stone brick and the walls were cement, which one would think would have made the area cold unless...
>The tunnel, however, consisted only of that room and two tunnels that were each only big enough for somebody to crawl through. It wouldn't be pleasant, but it seemed that they were the only way out.
>Why were they made that small anyway?
| >There was one that went off in front of them and one that went off behind them. Both were covered with metal grates that looked like doors, but upon closer inspection they were both unlocked.
>Nietzen spoke up.
"Well, we pick a tunnel and we go. I'd rather do that than stay and be target practice when the shooters find the hatch."
| "Hmm..."
>CN takes out his phone and appears to open up some schematics
"Well assuming this things lead to the sewers maybe taking the front tunnel might be our best bet... that's just assuming this goes there of course."
| "Alright, let's go."
>The bar staff begins to go through the front tunnels, followed by a wary Nietzen.
>These tunnels were so small...Why? It's almost like they weren't made for humans to even go through...
>...Wait a minute.
"No fucking way."
Nietzen exclaims.
"What is it?"
"Nothing, nothing yet just keep going, but keep your guard up. We may not be alone in here after all..."
(OOC COMMENT: This will be moving to "Setting: The Dog Tunnels" thread. Go there.)

| >Just as the group of FB, CN and RaIn were viewing the photos RaIn brought, a commotion could be heard from outside.
>BZZT BZZT BZZT!
>Lazer bursts. That was gunfire.
>Nietzen quickly grabbed the Tron machine and closed it, which would have hidden the room from outside.
>The screams...The crashing...The struggling.
>BZZAPT! BZZAPT!
>DAKADAKADAKADAKADAKADAKA!
>BLAM!
>"So much gunfire out of nowhere!...What the fuck is going on out there?!" Nietzen thought to himself.
