Journey to the center of the cube

The Back-up

Alva arrived in front of the building a few minutes after she left, silently hoping that she would make it and not die. The building itself was intimidating, made of mostly steel and windows covered in stainless glass, almost standing as high as the Eiffel Tower, the well appointed building loomed over her, like a giant. 

Slowly, she walked through the entrance, passing through the NO ENTRY sign and giant brick walls covering her from the building before running towards the entrance door. 

She disabled the robot outside, taking his comm device and choked him, the robot struggled to breath, this caused Alva to figure out that it was half human. Being the pacifist she is, she waited for the humanoid to fall into consciousness before letting go of their neck before softly apologising to the now unconscious body. Alva quickly checked it's pocket for any card that would possibly gain her access to the lift. Unfortunately she found none in which she scowled before continuing with her plan. 

Thankfully, there was only one guard standing outside, but that was the least of her worries.  There were at least five of them standing guard inside the building. Alva didn't know whether they were half humans or if they were full fledged robots but the radio jammer blocked any source of interaction between them, meaning unless someone attacks them, the full fledged robots would stay still. 

Now the only thing Alva had to figure out was how to get past the half humans and towards the lift. When she saw movement from her left, she quickly rotated her body to the side and dodged the incoming attack. 

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A male human mixed robotic voice asked as Alva glared at her attacker before trying to get to the lift once more, only to be slammed down by the attacker.

"I said who are you and what are you doing here?" To which Alva responded with a head butt causing both the attacker's and her head to hurt because of the solid metal impact both of them received. 

"Argh. That hurt. Are you made of metal or something?" Alva asked rhetorically as she quickly got back up and positioned herself. The attacker quickly launched himself once more to which Alva dodged. This went on for a few rounds before the attacker finally growled and morphed his hands into a gun. 

"Move and I'll shoot." He warned as Alva smirked scanning around the large spacious lobby quickly before turning her attention back to the humanoid. 

"Like hell you would." She stated before she made a run for the receptionist counter, avoiding almost all the bullets, one had hit her arm, fortunately the bullet only grazed through her skin. Alva cursed under her breath before quickly ripping out a piece of cloth from her shirt and wrapped it around her arm, tying it tightly while silently thanking Lars for teaching her what to do if she were to get shoot. 

The attacker slowly made his way to the counter knowing he hit her, making it easier to kill her if necessary. 

"Come out, come out wherever you are."  He taunted as Alva growled softly before slowly getting up, finally showing her exact location in which he instantly fired his gun once more causing Alva to duck and try to move while dodging a wave of bullets that were coming at her at light speed. She used any type of material she found on the counter for shelter before a bullet hit her right shoulder , going straight through. 

This caused her to drop her 'shield' and placing her left hand on the now wounded if not broken shoulder. The attacker smirked before walking towards her, who was slowly trying to run away from him and away from the counter towards the entrance. That was until he had morphed his gun into a different type of gun much heavier than the last one and that fired nets. He launched it straight at her causing the net to wrap around her entire body, entangling her feet causing her to fall, creating a loud thump on the floor.
