The stench that reached our noses when the doors opened wasn't pleasant in the slightest. Imagine a pile of horse crap wrapped in a carcass then got prayed on by a skunk. "Jesus! How hasn't everyone suffocated to death?" I questioned as me and Elizabeth and me covered out nose.

The station was a little flooded with water, and the darkness around us added to the gloomy feel of this place. Carefully stepping out of the sphere that brought us to the ghostly place, I looked around and saw it was safe. For now at least, "How many bullets you have left?" Elizabeth asked me.

I opened up the chamber and inwardly swore, "I only got six. Hopefully I'll only need one though." I said. That was all that I needed, one clean shot to the head and this was all a thing of the past. "Okay, be careful, remember hearing people say this is a prison or something." I said cautiously, walking away from the sphere with Elizabeth right behind me.

Walking up the stairs, the left side was blocked by ice. "Damn." I said in awe. I didn't know what did this but I didn't look forward to finding out with just a clip for my hand cannon.

"Come on, this way." Elizabeth said, heading to the right stairwell. I noticed that our 'dance' with Cohen hadn't left her without scratches. She had a few small cuts over her face bit they'd heal up after a while. Her top had a small tears on her shirts arms and below her neck, along with a black scuff ontop the right of her... chest.

Circling around the wall, I saw a freight hook over a shut gate, "Looks like that's the only way over." Elizabeth stated. I couldn't pry the gate open, it looked like it was welded shut by something. "Let's look around for a way around it." Elizabeth said as she went to the left.

What I wouldn't give for my shy hook right now. It wasn't exactly a clean killer but it saved my life a good number of times and I can't say it wasn't useful outside of combat. "(Y/N) come look at this!" Elizabeth called out. I ran to see what she found was a man frozen upside down.

"How the hell?" I asked bemused by the man. But I saw what he he'd in his cold dead hand, "Son if a bitch, a skyhook !" I said prying the old friend from the corpse. The design was completely different, the thing was more metal than leather and wood, and it said air grabber on the side.

"Constants and variables right?" Elizabeth asked as she picked another one out from the hands of another frozen victim. Heading back towards the gate, I jumped towards the hook and latched on to it.

Just like old times.

"Give me the frosty!" Of course it wouldn't be like the old times if something didn't ruin my moment. I tried to drop down but couldn't.

"What's wrong?" Elizabeth called up with a bit of worry.

I tried to move the air grabber, "Fucking thing is jammed or something!" as I said this, a man with what looked like ice all loved his skin jumped out if a open gate in the wall. Ahead if him was a burst open pipe that spewed water to the other side.

He threw something at it and the water froze, forming a bridge.

Ok, gotta say it, cool.

As he ran across two people with boxes on their heads ran after him. Turning, the man threw another ice ball at him and froze him in his place! As he ran to the elevator, the man was thawed out by his buddy who ran to the elevator as it shut.

I felt myself jerk down, I looked up and saw the air grabber was working again. "Ok, let's do this." I dropped to the floor in a crouch and crept my way towards the two. I heard Elizabeth land behind me, thankfully the two men where two preoccupied with the elevator to notice us. I crept behind the first man and pulled out my air grabber.
