We ran from rock to rock, boulder to boulder, avoiding the searchlights on the walls of the colossal building. Eventually we made it to the wall. We shuffled along it, out of view from the searchlights, and slipped in through the gates.

 We kept to the shadows, avoiding the gaze of robots, shifting into our wolf forms, so we didn't make a noise. We passed over the main bridge, suspended over a courtyard, but I noticed Scar slow to a stop behind me. I changed direction and padded back over to her.

I tilted my head, asking her what was wrong. She slowly gazed out over the court yard below us. I looked down and saw, to my horror, rows upon rows of robots, tanks and mechs. I looked at Scarlett in horror, both of us knowing, that unless we destroyed the Headquarters now, this is what the world will have to suffer. Cities would be destroyed, and so many would be slaughtered.

 We ran on in fear of being spotted by the hordes of warriors underneath us, that would kill without a thought, or pang of regret. We snuck up to the coded gate, shifting into our human forms, I quickly hacked the doors, and we were in.

 We scaled the massive building, finding our way to the core via scent, strangely we hadn't seen very many guards.

"Something's off here." said Scar.

"You said it, where are the guards?" I questioned, looking behind us every now and then.

"Maybe they're outside?" answered Scar, hopefully, yet unsure herself. I gave her a look that said 'We both know different.'

 We creeped along the hallways following our noses, until we came across a huge metal door, similar to that of a safe. The unstable scent of the reactor core was coming from the other side of the door.

"This must be it." I sighed. I took a deep breath and reached toward the door. All of a sudden, another gate smashed closed behind us, as a familiar deep, booming voice filled the room.
