Wrath of the Dead Presidents

Hell yeah!

Phoenix grinned. He could foresee one hell of a future traveling with this guy and was almost certain he'd never have to see the inside of a pod again. As the soldier whirled around and struck him, Phoenix frowned.

Keep him busy and start backing up. You've got like 10 seconds before I do something unreasonable.

[75 - It hits.]
[260 damage. Hot damn.]

The knives positioned themselves around the soldier one by one at different angles, circling slowly as each one appeared. Phoenix smirked again and raised one hand, bending his fingers into claws again before shouting:

Fuck. You.

The knives all drove themselves violently into the soldier with shocking force, some of them exiting the other side of their entry point. The soldier was nothing more than a shredded pile of colorful metal. Phoenix tilted his chin up, rather proud of his ability to do that.

I've been waiting to do that little trick for a very long time.

This was perhaps the first time in centuries that he had torn something apart purposely and guilt-free.

Bashy backed up as instructed, and let out a laugh as he saw the soldier get shredded. "Damn man, that shit's gotta hurt."

He cracked his neck, managing to catch his breath. "So, that was weird... don't remember hell being quite so....uh...Toy-heavy?" He nudged a shard of cold metal with his foot.

"I mean-" The sound of another wall breaking somewhere fairly distant made Bashy look around in worry. "I dunno man, I don't know which way is out, but we should prolly try to find out what's going on, before someone tries to come and stick us back in one of these." he said, jerking his thumb back at one of the pods behind him.

Phoenix nodded. He wasn't sure which way was out either. All the hallways looked exactly the same, endless lines of doors that looked no different from the next. And surely someone had heard all of this noise.

I dunno, man. I kind of want to know what the hell those things were and why they came after us. They did kind of leave a giant hole in the wall, so we could see where that goes. It's not like we have anything better to do, really.

Bashy shrugged. "Works for me." he said. "I mean, at least they can't lock down a hole in the wall, right?"

He walked over to the hole, running his hand along its shredded edge. He peered inside. "Looks like it leads to another hallway like this one." He said, a bit disappointed. "But there's another hole in that one... damn, these guys don't understand doors do they..."

He glanced at Phoenix, a smile behind his mask. "Then again, common trait around here i guess..." Before phoenix could respond, he was through the wall.

Hey, listen, it's been a while since I had to do that. Give me a break.

Phoenix leaned through the hole, scanning the hallway for any sort of immediate danger. He stepped through lightly and caught up to Bashy quickly, walking just slightly behind him.

So, uh...Now what? Go through the next hole or...?
