Night shade retreats slightly, running scenarios through his head. Had he encountered anthing like this before? Resounding 'no'. Were the enemies powered by some sort of magic? He could almost be certain of that. The problem was, he didn't know what kind of magic. Without that knowledge, he couldn't decommission them. He decided to wait, until he could identify their weakness.

The golems shoot a volley of metal pipes at Night, each one glowing with yellow flames.

The clock is ticking, care for an orange? Just kidding! AhaHaHaHa!
tick-Tock-Tick-Tock Clack Click
Steam shoots and oil burns!
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock clack click
Pipes crawling through the ground!

Night Shade dodges them expertly, his battle-hardened psyche predicting the paths of the pipes, nd moving to avoid them. He draws his pistol and fires at the head of a golem, magically guiding the shot into it's "eye."

2838408
The hits and shatters the eye. The golem barely notices. the eye is definitely superficial.
Whirr Hiss! whirr Hiss!
Towers reaching through the sky!
Bzz Lock Buzz Lock
Gears turn! Light blare!
Ching vrr Ching vrr
And the great beast awakens! Salvos open while wings unfurl! Hundreds of propellers turn!

A huge cube begins to rise out of the floor.

2837395

"Can you guys lift a human? Coz if you can that'd be great and a lot quicker"

2842203
You feel drowsy. Blackness encroaches one your vision.

2842776
"Of course."
They ferry you back to base.

2843917

"Thanks for that lads drinks are on me next time"

2843920
"We'll hold you to that."
They fly off, as Lolk walks out to greet you.

2843917

*Fights against it like trained*

2843942

"Hold me to it as long as you like" i say smiling with my arms out stretched whilst walking towards Lolk.

"So....Never heard of no man left behind?" I say with venom obviously annoyed

2843957
A beam of energy hits you in the head.

2843958
"Well excuse me. I'm just trying to get as many of you as possible back alive. Night Striker's already in there. I had to chain him to a wall. Please don't make me do the same to you."

2844041

"I dont go AWOL. Just would have been nice not to wake up to that shit hole after getting stunned with bloody lightning guns....Heres the bloody project you wanted" i take the project out and put it on the floor in front of you before walking towards the barracks

2844051
Lolk picks it up, and warps.

2844095

I slam the barrack doors open and throw my weapon on to the bed, taking of my body armor and helmet next before sitting on the bed heavily with my head in my hands

2844117

My head snaps up at the sound "We didnt take any prisoners did we?"

2844133
*Goes silent again*

2844155

I shake my head gently "Too many times"

2844133
2844117
2844155
"Nah, that;s just Night Striker screaming in pain. you would not believe what I had to do to keep him from doing something stupid."

2844173
*Looks around*
"S-Somepony th-there?"
*Sounds weak*

2844185
"A-Anypony....."

2844185
2844186

"S-screaming in pain!? Are you insane let him go!"

2844191
2844186
"Maybe if you hadn't acted like a dumbass this wouldn't have happened!"
The chains drop him.

2844197
"It was either this or let him try to fly through an auto-turret filled hurricane."

2844243
*Falls unmoving*

2844191
2844243

"Get out of my way he's getting free'd okay. This isnt right!" I shove past Lolk and head towards the cells

2844264
2844267
Lolk just shakes his head an warps away. "Now to solve this projects.....I hope Night Shade is alright."

2844264
2844281

I walk into the cell block and ask for back fires cell keys

2844348

"Hey.....Hey mate ca you hear me?" I say whilst poking the cell door open

2844373
*Mumbles weakly*

2844451

I walk in further and undo the chains "Hey come on wake up"

2844460

"Speak up mate i cant hear you."
