Fluttershy ran down the steps to the giant garage where the bomb was being housed. When she reached the bottom, she hid behind a barrel. The garage was huge, and many guards and scientists were inside. Forklifts drove freely through the area delivering barrels of some kind. Scientists sat at chairs, their eyes fixed on computer screens. The guards patrolled the area, and thanks to their numbers, it was near impossible to sneak around.
While looking for an opening, Fluttershy spotted a familiar face: the man that killed Alpha. He was speaking in the strange language to three guards. She sincerely hoped that Sigma would be careful. This man was a monster; if Sigma was caught... Fluttershy brushed the thoughts away. She had to keep her eyes on her goal: finding Sigma and assisting him in any way possible. Fluttershy looked around again. Finally, no guards were looking her way. She looked for her next destination. Giant steel crates were only twenty feet away from her. She took Angel off her back and set him in front of her.
"You go first. Run to those crates over there," she ordered to Angel. Angel nodded. Fluttershy looked one last time to make sure it was still clear. "Go."
Angel ran as fast as he could to the crates, and made it with no trouble. Now it was her turn. Fluttershy looked at Angel. He was the one making sure it was clear this time. After a few seconds of scanning, Angel gave her a smile. She nodded, got down on the ground, and quickly crawled over to her pet bunny. As soon as she reached him, they both checked to see if they had been spotted.
"Good so far," Fluttershy whispered. She gave herself a few moments to calm down before checking for a new destination. She wasn't sure where her final target was, and so she thought for a moment. If Sigma were in here, he'd probably be close to the bomb; after all, that was why he came down here in the first place. She smiled to herself. "That's where I'll go."
She checked her surroundings, and found that the guards were now making their rounds towards her. She stayed behind the containers. They would soon pass, and that is when she'd move. Angel looked around, and a grin appeared on his face. He tapped on Fluttershy's leg. Fluttershy looked at him and noticed he was pointing at something. When she looked where he was pointing, she was shocked. It was Sigma. He was at a computer terminal, far away from Fluttershy. She had guessed that since the guards were on her side of the garage, it would be the perfect time to deactivate the bomb. Maybe he didn't need her help after all. She cursed herself for following him.
Although... what if she could still help him? She looked around and noticed the guards were turning around and heading back the other way. Fluttershy quickly looked for a new spot and found one in a parked forklift with a crate on it. This spot was further away, but it was also very close to the bomb. Fluttershy looked one last time, then released Angel first. Angel got to the cover at great speed and wasn't spotted. Angel looked around, but this time it wasn't clear. One guard was heading for the forklift. Fluttershy signaled to Angel to stay low.
The guard reached the forklift and looked inside it. He was only a foot from Angel, and Fluttershy could have been in sight; all the man had to do was look directly left to see her. The guard continued to look around the forklift until he found what he was actually looking for. He picked up a pack of cigarettes and turned around to head back to the others. Fluttershy and Angel let out a sigh of relief. That was too close.
Wasting no more time, Fluttershy quickly crawled to her companion. She had a bad feeling about this place, and knew that if she didn't get Sigma and escape fast... No... it was just fear. Sigma had told her that she was strong, strong enough to have made it this far. Now she only had to make it a little further. She looked over to the computer terminal Sigma was at. It was empty. This meant one of two things: either Sigma had deactivated the bomb and was sneaking his way back to the elevator; or he was hiding from the incoming guards. Either way, she couldn't stick around-she needed to find him.
The guards were making their return towards her, but they were still closer to where Sigma was just at. She decided to take a chance and get to the bomb. It was close-only ten feet away. She sent out Angel first, and after he made it, she got into crawling position. Angel held a paw up, telling her to stay put. She looked out... the guards were approaching. Although, they were still far enough away to where she could make a journey of ten feet. She ignored Angel's warning, and began crawling to him.
Angel's jaw dropped. What was she doing?! He looked at the approaching guards again, and they were getting very close now. He gritted his teeth-was she going to make it? Fluttershy sped up and reached Angel behind the bomb, if only just. Angel glared at her.
"Sorry," she whispered. Angel put a paw on his face. That was way too close. Fluttershy looked around. Here she was, at the bomb... so where was Sigma? She began to get worried. He hadn't returned to the computer terminal. Where was he?! Suddenly Fluttershy heard yelling. She peeked around the bomb and saw her worst fears come to life-four guards were holding Sigma at gunpoint.
