Chapter 18

Never Split the Party

The east side of the complex provided a change of pace. Karrel, Angel, Krystalyn, and Alice had run into very little opposition as they charged through the pristine, white corridors of the UWP facility. They were met with robotic guards here and there, but they were easily avoidable, and confrontation was being kept to a minimum. Their main goal was to collect as many of the fusion cores as they possibly could. Destroying x-bots was secondary to that objective. With two of the cores generally located near the east edge of the territory, and several hundred feet above them, the group needed to find an elevator.

Looking to his sides, Karrel found comfort in those who were beside him. Over the months, Angel had accidentally become his closest friend, and after forgiving Karrel’s physical outburst against him, he knew that Angel felt the same way. It was not just sentiments that consoled him either. Angel was a powerful ally to have. He had lost count of the sheer number of impossible situations Angel had simply breezed through.

The girls had also shown their barbaric fury as well. The metallic guards that they faced might as well have been made out of paper with the way they had sliced through them. Karrel was still in disbelief at how much relief he felt having two demons by his side in a scuffle. Regardless of their tails, he occasionally found that he had to recall that they were not, in fact, human. However, after watching Alice summon that giant, reflective, black orb, he knew that the disbelief would fade fast. He wondered if Krystalyn had any hidden powers that she had yet to show. Honestly, there was a lot of things about Krystalyn that he wanted to know more about. Special abilities or not however, he found himself reassured having Krystalyn by his side. And, from the way Angel kept glancing at Alice, Karrel had an inkling that his black-masked friend was enjoying a similar comfort.

A few more minutes of rapidly sneaking their way through the halls, and the group eventually found themselves standing in front of two metal sliding doors. They had been following the layouts provided by the security station they had previously destroyed. If those records were correct, on the other side of the doors there should be an express elevator, capable of taking them to any floor. Alice found a button to the side and pressed it. It brightened to a red color, and the group stood, exposed in the middle of a three-way-intersection of the halls.

Usually waiting for an elevator was one of the most monotonous tasks on the face of the planet. This time was an exception. At the intersection, there were three different locations that the group could be ambushed from, and that was not counting an attack that could eventually come from the contents of the elevator itself. Everyone was warry of this information, and the group remained alert, fronting at least one gaze against every possible area of ambush.
