Erebus, Wolf, and Artemis breached the facility, with the youthful Grimm blazing a path through the blast doors. The air was laden with negativity, potent enough to subdue any Grimm. Despite his youth, Erebus was aware of the immense dark emotions enveloping them. A malevolent grin unfolded on his face as he delved deeper into the bowels of the complex, his sword emanating an intense, crimson glow...
Erebus: We should hurry before the Atlas military sends in more soldiers, while I have faith in our power, I doubt we can face down such odds.
Artemis: The dust wouldn't be topside for sure, no doubt the rats have it stashed down below.
Wolf: Artemis, deal with anyone who dares stand in your way, Erebus and I will make our way down.
Artemis: it would be best if I join you, I'd rather not miss out on the fun...
Wolf: Well said sister, your right, it wouldn't be fair to deny you your fun.
Erebus was poised to taunt Wolf and Artemis when he detected a significant number of people nearing. Gripping his sword with both hands, he observed as scores of guards and soldiers poured out of every white corridor and doorway.
Erebus: it would appear we are surrounded...
Wolf smirked beneath his mask and drew his sword, while Artemis appeared to conjure a bow and arrow from thin air. The three grim figures stood back to back, forming a defensive circle.
Wolf: Too bad...for them...
Wolf surged ahead like a wild beast, skewering the closest soldier with his enormous greatsword. Blood gushed as the soldier fought valiantly for survival.
A swarm of soldiers tried to fire at Erebus, but the nimble grimm skillfully wielded his blade, catching each bullet and methodically stacking them. Then, with a quick flourish, he sent the bullets hurtling back toward the soldiers!
A volley of bullets effortlessly cut down the soldiers as Erebus darted across the battlefield with incredible speed, his blade cleaving through the Atlas soldiers' ranks with each swing.
Wolf released a colossal wave of sharpened ice, obliterating another swarm of soldiers in an instant. Unlike Erebus, Wolf was unfazed by gunfire; his swift healing rendered the wounds inconsequential.
Thrusting his sword into an enemy, Erebus shifted his stance with otherworldly swiftness. Gliding through the air, he landed on a soldier, crushing him under his weight before reclaiming his sword from the deceased.
Erebus was set to engage the approaching runner, but as he prepared to strike, Artemis let fly an arrow that found its mark in the soldier's eyes.
With a series of swift blows, the three grimm figures succeeded in quelling the reinforcements; close to fifty soldiers perished futilely as Erebus, Wolf, and Artemis had already healed from their wounds.
Erebus: We're in the clear, It would be best for us to get to the nearby elevator, surely the rats have gone into hiding.
Artemis: It does not matter, the rats can hide all they want, let them blow up with the rest of this place.
Erebus nodded before pointing his sword to a nearby hall.
Erebus: let us go, we have much to do...I want to get this over with...
-----------
Following numerous skirmishes, Artemis, Wolf, and Erebus reached the elevators. The hallways and ceilings bore the marks of blood and gore, traces of which had seeped onto the floor. Yet, they were unfazed, their attention fixed on moving forward as per Salem's orders.
