The Portal in the Mirror

Chapter 4: Descending Down the Laboratory part 1

When the assault rifle had scanned General Corey Proctor, he could be seen covered from head to toe in full body armor as well as a helmet; certain areas of his armor would have a red glow to them as well as the helmet's eyes. His helmet was equipped with pinpoint laser sights built inside, and the assault rifle he had in his hands had a different look to it.

A strap could be seen hooked up to the back of the body armor and wrapped around his right shoulder. The assault rifle had 2 barrels; the one on top had a red glow to it, as the one underneath that one would have a blue glow. There were 2 buttons that could be behind the trigger; the 2 buttons were to switch from the top or bottom barrel. When everyone had seen this, they would be in awe as Jax would say, "Why the fuck do you get the cool gun?" When General Corey Proctor started to speak, his tone was deep and robotic, almost as if he were mechanical, as he would say, "Don't ask me; this assault rifle looked different from the rest, so I wanted to take a look at it. But then it kind of scared me when it started to scan me; I have never seen a weapon like this before."

When he says that, he would point his finger over to the door that was still closed as he would say, "I think it's time we continue onwards; it's going to be a long way to get down to the ten thousandth floor. Currently this is only the first, so let's keep moving downwards," as he says that everyone would nod their heads as they followed behind the general.

When the general started to walk towards the door, the door would start to make a very loud siren. The siren would sound like a thousand banshees shrieking as everyone would cover their ears except for the general. His helmet would click as his armor would cover his ears automatically when the siren had started. After a minute of the siren going off, the siren would die off, whirring down as everything around them went quiet as the door would open upwards slowly with smoke coming out from the other side.

When the door had opened upwards, the General's helmet would click twice as the ear protection would go back inside it as his laser sights would look through past the door. Corey would then say, "Everyone stay here for a second; I'll check it out," when he had said that he would walk quickly through the door with his assault rifle pointed outwards in front of him.

He would walk back in after a few seconds with his gun pointed downwards towards the ground as he says, "Well, it looks clear, but..." He would pause as Jax would say, "But what? out with it than, we wanna know." Corey would then continue saying, "Follow me, and I'll just show you," when he says that he would walk through the door as everyone else followed behind him. When they got inside and into the next room, the door would slam downwards, shutting loudly and hard as the ground underneath them would vibrate from the impact.

When it did that, everyone would jump as they looked behind themselves from the loud, sudden bang of the door behind them. Jax would then say, "What the fuck man, the door just slammed downwards as if it broke or something; what kind of place is this? This is not a normal laboratory at all." Corey would nod his head in agreement as well as everyone else, as Corey would then point in front of him, saying, "There are twenty different doors, so I take it this is not going to be easy; I really don't want to know what happens if we pick the wrong door." Jax would then interrupt him as he says, "Fuck this place and fuck going in one of those doors; one of you go open a door and look inside. I'm staying way the fuck over here." When Jax would say that, Colonel Tate would say to the general, "General sir, permission to try a door, sir?" Corey would nod his head as Tate would walk over to a door as she would take her right hand and slowly turn the knob.

When Colonel Tate turned the knob to the right, she would shove the door open. At first there was nothing in the room, but after a few seconds, a low, deep growl could be heard from inside the darkened room. Colonel Tate would be holding a futuristic-looking grenade launcher as she would point it out in front of her, scanning the area, and as she was doing that, she would back up slowly, waiting for anything to happen. Giant glowing red eyes would be seen opening up as a deep, low growly voice could be heard saying, "Who dares enter my domain? I smell human blood in your veins. Tell me, humans? Do you beg for death, or do you wish to enter the next room behind me? Choose quickly."
