The next morning they stood suited up, armed to the teeth, and wearing angry expressions. Crüe was in his full armor face mask included, Haru had temporarily left the body of the cat behind and was in his axe. The cat's body was currently resting in their refrigerator waiting to be thawed out when they got back. The Slayer was disgusted by it, but no one else seemed to mind. Daisy was dressed in the Slayer's old armor like always. She clutched a shotgun and complained to Samuel that she needed a new BFG. The Slayer wasn't holding a gun, not yet. He was taking the time to sharpen his blades though. He knew Daisy could do it with her jaws, but this was a way to comfort him before the fight.

Samuel and Elena were standing beside them giving them a quick rundown of what they did know while promising to take care of Orca and Missy. The robot was quite calm about this, "We'll be right here if you need any back up whatsoever. Keep your mics on, no funny business. We need the technology stored within the UAC facility to guide you to Urdak and exterminate the demons there."

Elena nodded at his gentle scolding, "Samuel has volunteered to go in and fight if need be. He will only be sent out with your explicit permission."

The Slayer took a deep breath under his helmet, "Is the teleporter ready?"

The intern called out, "Portal ready in 3... 2...!"

They walked down to the portal and stood in front of it, watching it slide into place. The Slayer took the time to load his double barreled shotgun, closing it with a satisfying click as the portal lit up. "See you in a bit." He nodded back at Samuel and Elena and he supposed that little Intern and his supervisor too. He tried not to focus on the sounds of the ARC operators getting up from their chairs and looking at him as he stepped into the portal.

The horrific feeling of being teleported was not something the Slayer missed much. Not to mention the demonic energy and the storm made the portal unstable. He was shot out of it, landing on his face. Crüe hit the metal railing, swearing and cursing. Daisy caught herself with her wings and did a little roll on the ground before popping back up, unharmed.

They had been teleported onto a small helipad off to the side of the facility. It was horrific and the storm raged on. The rain was slipping into his armor and drenching him. It whipped sideways with the might of the wind and the waves far below them were churned up and frothy white.

Samuel spoke in his ear as he took out a few zombies that lingered about on the helicopter pad, "You had to trash Urdak to save earth. Now you have to go back and fix your mistakes, but these demons aren't just going to give you the technology we'll need."

The Slayer took them out, killing them brutally, happy to flex his muscles a bit.

"What does this tech even look like? How will we know when we find it?" Crüe asked as he let Haru out to lap at the empty, bloody skull of one of the zombie corpses, its brain shot out of its skull into the frothy foam below.

"We don't have much intel on it besides it being a vital piece of Maykr engineering to get you back to Urdak. It's nearly a thousand feet below the main deck in the most secure part of the facility, you'll know it when you see it." Samuel pulled away from the mic and watched Elena chart out demonic activity from sensors that had been placed on the trio's armor. It gave a tiny, temporary window into what was happening around them.

"There's a shit ton of demons on that deck in front of you." Elena spoke calmly into the microphone, "Go get 'em."

On cue the deck in front of them was swarmed with demons. Five cyber mancubi, a dozen cacodemons, a group of arachnotrons, their legs scuttering in a flurry making it impossible to count. It wasn't a horde of demons, it was a giant swarm. The demons were packed in the deck, snarling and snapping at their invaders.
