Chapter 47: A Test for Time Part 3

Jake backtracked to the elevator and hopped down the shaft. He deployed his wings and started heading downward. Was he immediately going to head for the 18th floor that Sinister said he was on? Hell no, Jake didn't believe that guy at all. He flew right down towards the second floor, where he once vaporized the elevator doors from the inside as he entered. This floor seemed much like the first, except it wasn't just an empty hallway.

The first door Jake found in the hallway was labeled to his suprise. "Let's see here," he said. "This room is Weapons and Munitions..." Jake took a second to read that before he burst out laughing and entered the room with glee.

He couldn't stop laughing at what he saw in the room. There were guns... all the guns. Hundreds of crates of assault rifles, probably hundreds of thousands of bullets, RPGs, grenades. This room literally had it all!

"Don't mind if I do," Jake snickered to himself as he walked over to crate after crate of guns and promptly stored them all away in his inventory. Did he need any of these weapons? No, no, he did not. Was he stealing them just to piss off Sinister? Yes, yes, he was. But what use were guns without ammunition? So Jake promptly walked over to all the crates of bullets and hand grenades before storing those in his inventory space as well. After a few minutes, he had pretty much depleted Sinister's entire arsenal of weapons. Could he have just destroyed them all with his power of destruction? He figured he could have, but the reaction wouldn't have been the same.

And there was that reaction now – "Are you seriously robbing me right now, you piece of shit! What kind of hero are you!?" The voice of Sinister echoed throughout the room, originating from the intercoms. He actually sounded pretty mad and quite a lot less smug than his drone robot did earlier. Jake looked to the corner of the room where a camera was watching him. He just waved at it with a smirk before hitting it with a bombarda. He doubted he was going to find any prisoners on this floor so close to the surface, but he couldn't leave so soon after getting such a great reaction from that guy, could he?

Jake smiled at himself in glee as he entered the next few rooms. This entire floor seemed to be dedicated to storage because Jake found some pretty good things here so far. In the next room over from the weapons, he found a pile of cash that was all in hundred-dollar bills. He estimated that to be a few million dollars. He immediately swiped all of it. The screams of rage he got from Sinister, who was watching him on each of the room's surveillance cameras, were also pretty cathartic for Jake. Apparently, he had just swiped the massive research funds he'd collected over the past few years.

Done pilfering the villain's funds, Jake headed back down the shaft to the third floor. Instead of another metallic hallway, though, Jake was met with a massive botany room that seemed to be dedicated solely to growing crops.

Jake wondered why a supervillain had a botany room. Maybe he enjoyed gardening as a hobby between his evil plots? "Incendio," Jake raised his hand and unleashed a wave of fire that started engulfing all the plants in the room in flames. Within only a few seconds, they were all destroyed and turned to ash. Jake was waiting for that angry response from Sinister, and the supervillain did not disappoint...

An enraged and stupefied voice went out over the room's intercoms. "Y-You bastard! How dare you... Those plants were specially cultivated by myself, and some of them had taken over a decade to create! Do you know how many of my experiments you just RUINED!!!" His angry screams blared over the speakers as Jake smirked. He figured he was doing a pretty great job of pissing this guy off. An angry enemy is one that will slip up after all...

Finished trashing the third floor, Jake decided to head down towards the fourth. This floor also didn't have a hallway, as it turned out to be a giant training room that spanned the whole area. Jake could see various targets and obstacles scattered throughout. If there was going to be a place Sinister truly wanted to fight him, it would have been here. Now Jake knew the guy was full of shit. Movement across the room drew Jake's eyes.
