Korm and Niel have to back out.

Niel gets saved by Korm and Tacita.


_Flames erupted all around Niel as his base destruct timer hit 0. He rolled hard to the left behind a patch of boulders that had blasted away when the elevator hit the clearing switch. "Perfect." He said to himself. His gun was a few feet away just out of reach and the soldiers who had been standing around the entrance had taken a similar action to his, all jumping either way behind cover as they thought they were under attack. He reached out slowly to try and grab his gun but the area around him was pummeled with bullets. "Shit." He checked his surrounding, starting to devise a plan for escape. Just as he was about to make a dash to get behind the elevator, salvation arrived.

A dark grey helicopter roared over the site and did a 360 after it passed the gunmen, then it unleashed two fingers of fire as the pilot hit the rockets and the scene erupted in fire and brimstone. "Glad to see you buddy." Korm said. Korm and Tacita were in the helicopter providing cover fire, Tacita was mounted on a .50cal turret firing with expert accuracy into the group of men shredding them as Korm maneuvered the chopper around to lower itself in front of Niel. Once the helicopter was close enough to the ground Tacita jumped out and sprinted towards the men. She threw herself on the closest one as he drew his pistol. She used her claws to shred the mans body armour before tearing his throat out. Korm unclipped his belt and jumped from the seat before the rotors even began to wind down, he knew Niel would jump in and pilot for them and he had questions, so many questions. He walked slowly towards one of the injured men and stood on his arm pushing down with as much force as he could muster. The man screamed and writhed on the ground. "Where is Wade?"_

Korm and Niel burst through the door the russians had been trying to get through with help from Niels little friend that he devised on the spot. He had gathered up all the grenades from the russian team and ever so gently pulled out all the blasting caps, then he poured all the high explosive into an ammo satchel he took off one of the guys, he removed took a kevlar panel from the lower side of his bullet proof jacket and did the same to Korm. He taped the device and the kevlar over the door, pushed a stack of crates up against it with Korms help and set the blasting caps back in the bag gently. Then he pulled the pin.

They ran as fast as they could down the tunnel, reaching a corner just as the caps blew. The explosion literally shredded the door, and the box and ripped sections of the wall out around it. Lucky he had focused the blast with the kevlar and boxes or they would probably be dead or at least unconscious. "Lets go." Niel moved first followed by Korm, and approaching the door they could see the corridor was filled with metal fragments, wood splinters and blood. The blast had been so powerful and the guys inside had sealed the door behind them as well. The huge explosion had cause a pressure wave that had almost liquified everyone inside the small space. There were huge metal splinters stuck deep in the concrete and some wood splinters had managed to wedge themselves into the mortar between the sections. "Kinda looks like an inside out porcupine hey." Niel said grinning. "Kinda." Said Korm. They stepped into the corridor and the door sealing the area started to open. They quickly stepped back and jumped to the sides hiding behind the crumbling side walls, just as a hail of bullets sprayed out from within. Thousand of bullets shot out from the smokey destroyed corridor, dissolving the walls with their steely force. Korm and Niel were forced to retreat further as the hole they had blown got wider and wider. They couldn't see what was firing at them, they just knew they didn't want to get hit. Niel being risky as he was decided to sneak a peak once he thought he was in a good spot. There at the end of the corridor surrounded by steel walls and huge concrete barriers was a mounting platform, a man clad in a bulletproof suit was holding the trigger of a twin xm214 system, a machine gun capable of firing 12000 rounds per minute, and above him a small hatch was opening. "KORM! WE GOTTA GO!" Niel yelled and motioned to the tunnel they had come in. As they both made a break for the corner, the hatch finished opening and fire erupted from within. Niel had seen this only once before. It was a mounted Iron Fist, built as a countermeasure and used very sparingly it was a twin barreled close range highly accurate rocket launcher with infrared sensors, there was no way to hide from this, they had to leave.
