All I See Is Jars

Chapter 3 - Infiltration

"When do we start?" Mars asked. The foundation turned to them and stated "we start now."

Jones and Mars were directed to the War-room where they found elbert and midas sat on a bench leaning against eachother asleep. Mars ran over and hugged them both waking then up startling them. "Oh thank god you're alive!" They both exclaimed. The 3 were reunited and ready for this mission.

Jones sat at the war-room table and set up the satellite scan of the tower showing the rest of the team. "Alright gang, this is our target. The IO tower. This things been causing some major issues for us here and for this reality so we have been assigned to plant some explosive charges inside the base of the tower ready for the final assault to take down IO once and for all. Here's our entry points: el and midas, you are taking the rear entrance with disguises we picked up from the warfare you guys were at prior. You'll follow the patrol route till you see the glass window housing the zeropoint. That's where you'll plant the charges and get out. Me and Mars, we are going to be entering right here in the front entrance roof. There's a ventilation shaft we can crawl through to get right below the zeropoint and easily place our charges, it's gonna be a tight squeeze but we'll manage. Hopefully. Anyways any questions? No? great let's go then!" With no time given for the team to answer intergalactic-4 was finally a team of 4 again.

Midas and el reached their entry points first, they snook into the patrol marches and followed the lead till the point of interest was reached. They successfully reached the window and hid away safely whilst waiting for further orders. They celebrated with a small fist bump.

For Jones and Mars, the two were in a slight state of trouble. The vent was too small for Jones to fit through. There was only one option, Mars had to go in alone with Jones guidance. "I can't do this, Jones. I don't know the path and what if I get caught and-"
"Hey, hey, hey! Its alright, there's gotta be a reason they call you a hero of the last reality right? Surely you can call through with a bit of help from some guy." Jones laughed and smiled at Mars.
Maybe Mars let their judgement get to them, Jones was starting to warm up to them. "You're not just some guy Jones, you're 'the legend' memeber of the seven" Mars joke as they crawled into he vent "don't let me get lost in here or else you're done, jones."

They both chuckled before they began the infiltration of the tower. "Alright Mars I can see you with my IR sensors, I'm gonna need you to take a right and crawl down that drop that'll take you to the armoury vents" Jones explained
Mars took the route and like Jones said they we there. "OK I'm here, now where?" Mars asked. "Drop down and grab a pulse rifle, you're gonna need to destabilise the core to open a door and plant the charges right outside of it, then get back in that vent and make your way back and thats a mission well done!"

Mars dropped down and grabbed a pulse rifle off the weapon rack beside them. They turned the core of the weapon and pulled it apart slamming it into the door of the armoury. They ran back behind a locker and waited for the explosion. Bang. Mars knew they only had seconds before they had to getbout of there. "Alright Jones, what's the arm code!?" Mars exclaimed "4-7-4-3-1, Now get out of there you got guards closing in on your location!!" Said Jones.

Mars pressed the green button and ran for the vent, the sound of marching echoed through the halls of the facility as they climbed back into the ventilation shaft. "I'm safe Jones, we did it, mission complete." Mars sighed and a big grin grew across their face "maybe you're not so bad after all, John jones." Mars joked. "Not so bad yourself 'hero of the last reality'" replied Jones "now let's get to exfil and head home. We have only just begun..."
