*Setting: Limping up the long, straight, slightly slanted tunnel Iraxx sighed and wiped his brow with the back of his black-gloved hand. His wounds were quite severe and he would have done anything to be at home, in bed. But, according to Adele, the Council wanted him to apprehend Alexie Craine and bring him in for punishment. Stopping briefly he rested his left side on the metallic wall and breathed heavily. According to the Doctor at the first control room the tunnel came to, he had a couple of broken ribs, a claw mark that went down to the bone and concussion. The Doctors had advised him to go home, but he knew that if the Council had ordered him to do something, he'd better do it. Even in his current condition. Besides, as soon as they find out he's quite badly injured and yet still carrying on with his duties, the Council will surely reconsider him for his previous position. Moving past the 2nd of two security doors, he dialled in the security code and watched as the reinforced, metal door came from the roof of the tunnel and secured itself in the ridge that was on the floor. The tunnel itself was capable of allowing a Jeep to pass through, although it wasn't built for that, but instead built for protection against missiles and heavy fire. But now they were using it for protection against one, male Orkhid, who, Iraxx assumed, was into the Black Arts. As Iraxx neared the large entrance of the tunnel he noticed a rabble of 10-15 Orkhids had formed, all suited in heavy armour, their visors down and packing automatic weapons. Brushing the strands of black hair from his face, Iraxx began to pick up speed, hoping that the end of this entire nightmarish chapter in his career and life was coming to a close...*

Iraxx: "Whats going on...?"

He directed his question at some of the Soldiers towards the back of the rabble, only one turned around and answered him.

Soldier #1: "He's...He's here!!"

He said this excitedly and cocked his weapon, hoping for some kind of gunfight to take place between them, the Soldiers, and the, now, notorious mass murderer. Pushing through the tightly packed group, who were formed infront of the tunnel entrance, Iraxx quickly made his way to the front to see a small, yellow hatchback landing on the ground. It was a good distance away, yet in the boundaries of the electric fence, which meant that Alexie couldn't run to the surrounding woodland if things got tough.

Soldier #2: "There's two of them, sir!!"

This Soldier was kneeling on one knee and looking through some Binoculars. His Carbine rifle was hanging from its strap around his neck. With a startled snarl Iraxx cast his eyeline down and held out his right hand, wincing as a sharp pain shot through his shoulder. Without hesitation however, the Soldier quickly handed the Binoculars to the Commandor, who then placed them over his eyes and seemed to growl lowly as he realised this was true...

Midian: "Get the bag, make sure none of the crystals fall out or the bomb doesn't arm itself. We only have 25 seconds to get out once it does..."

Midian stepped out from the passengers side of the car and rolled her shoulders, ordering Alexie to do such a menial task. She was still wearing her silk, lilac dress and it was still burnt around the stomach region. However her injury that she had sustained due to Adele had been healed, albeit done so reluctantly. Opening the boot Alexie grabbed the strap of the sportsbag and hoisted it over his right shoulder. He then walked around to the front of the car were Midian was and stood besides her. He was wearing his black sleeveless top and dark grey jeans.

Alexie: "You ready?"

Her reply was a simple nod.

*Setting: As they neared, the group of troops shifted uneasily. There were two things awry with the current situation, one being the fact that Alexie was carrying a bag...which could contain some kind of heavy demolition bomb. And the second was he was being accompanied by an unknown female, who was walking with a graceful ease. Slowly Iraxx reached for his 9mm which was stuffed in the back of his black trousers, grabbing the handle with his left hand he slowly pulled it out and pointed it. The weapon was already cocked and loaded, so all he had to do was fire...*

Iraxx: "STOP WHERE YOU ARE...!!"

His voice was stern and authoritive, yet the two beings cared little for what he stated. Slowly he closed one eye and pin-pointed Alexie's head with the guns crosshair.

Iraxx: "I SAID STOP WHERE YOU ARE, NOW!!"

Again he shouted a warning command and again, they carried on advancing.

***

*Setting: A gentle wind began to pick up around the surrounding area. Midian and Alexie's long hair began to flay around wildly, as if possessed by some unknown Heretic. As Adele had said, Iraxx was guarding the missile bunker, along with a good deal of troops. Slowly she turned to look up at Alexie and with a gentle smile she whispered to him.*

Midian: "Lets end this torture..."

The moment her lips had closed to end the sentence a severe explosion of thunder ruptured from the heavens. The light blue sky and white clouds were destroyed by thick, black and gray storm clouds. Forks of blue and red lightening shot across them, as if outlining the veins of the storm clouds themselves. Looking up Midian smiled, her eyes slowly been devoured in blackness and her long black hair waving wildly...this was it...this, was the end.
