PRESENT DAY...

Outside the facility, the Hornets all drop down and the Reds and Blues pile out.

Wash: Okay, let's get in there. Cal, what's our first move?

Slade: First we-

Slade then began to breathe hard as he heard voices again in his head.

Slade: First we-

Slade holds his head as the voices began to speak all at once.

Kan: (holds Slade's shoulders concerned) Slade, are you alright?

Slade: Go.

South: What?

Slade: (lets go of his head) Go and find Carolina and Epsilon. I'll catch up.

Sarge: You heard him, boys. Double time!

The Reds and Blues run off to find an entrance. Kan looks back and nods at Slade before following them.

Tex and Rho appear in front of Slade.

Tex: We heard those voices in your head too.

Rho: There's probably something here that has a reason to why you're acting up. This could be it, Travis. You may get all of your memories back.

Slade: Okay then... time to find out who I really am.

The army of Tex drones face down Carolina and Epsilon. They slam their fist into the hands and crack their necks with robotic noises. One of the drones walks up and does the same action.

Tex Drone: You have no idea what kind of trouble you are in.

Carolina raises her plasma rifles.

Carolina: Alright. Me first.

The army of Tex drones charge. Carolina fires her rifles at the approaching army, mowing down the first several drones.

Epsilon: Watch your left!

Carolina looks to her left and flips backwards, dodging a drone's attack, dropping her rifles and pulling out a shotgun. A drone flies at her with a flying kick but Carolina blasts it out of the air with her shotgun. She lunges forwards, leaping off the top of the heads of several drones and into the fray. She lands on another drone and skids across the ground on it as she proceeds to blast the surrounding robots.

Epsilon: Uh, I think I'm gonna be sick!

Carolina backflips off the drone she was standing on, flash kicking another. The other drones attack her but she manages to hold her own and blow them away with her shotgun. Finally, one of the drones punches her gun out of her hands and Carolina switches to hand to hand combat. She takes out another three and throws the fourth into a nearby crate.

Carolina: Ungh!

The crate is dented by the impact, and the one stacked on top of it falls to the ground. It splits open, revealing its cargo of frag grenades. They spill over the floor, tripping over several drones. Carolina rolls away and regains her footing. She looks down, and kicks a grenade up, and into a approaching drone. Carolina then pulls out her grappling gun and fires at the grenade. She twirls the grenade around, the metal sphere taking out several more drones. She then slams the grenade into the ground, detonating it and causing the other grenades to explode, sending even more of the robots flying. Out of the flames, a drone leaps forward.
