Chapter 8 - Part Seven

DreamWorld-Outside A Massive Fortress

Tegan lands with a superhero landing as her nano mask moves from her face as she scans the fortress over as Leon arrives on a flying hoverboard as he lands gracefully and kicks the Hoverboard up as into his arms before the changes the Hoverboard into a Sniper Rifle and checks the scope.

Leon: Seems impenetrable.

Tegan: As if.

Leon: Should I go nuclear or do you wanna be a bit more finesse?

Tegan: Lemme scan first.

Leon huffs as Tegan puts her NanoMask in and scams the Fortress with various filters.

Tegan: They've got anti nuclear missile defenses and mech suppression dampeners.

Leon: Someone doesn't want this code getting out. Alright, so we go old school then.

Leon changes the Sniper Rifle into an Armored Car. Leon steps inside as Tegan gets on top and puts her hand to the roof, closing her eyes as she forms a mounted Turret Gun/Missile Launcher. Tegan forms a seat and a protective bubble screen as Leon turns on various switches and presses buttons as Tegan kicks the roof.

Tegan: Ready.

Leon: Let's do this.

Tegan whoops as Leon guns the Car down the hill and straight towards the Fortress as Dozens it Drones suddenly spring forth from out of Watchtowers ad Various Guards take defensive positions in front of the Large Gate as Tegan fires, scoring directs hits against the Drones as Leon flips a switch and presses a trigger button on the wheel as Mounted Machine Guns begin firing at the Guards who open fire on them as Tegan notches a missile and blows both towers as the Missile fired and split off, taking both Watchtowers down as Tegan focuses on the Gate and blows the gates open as the sky suddenly fills with red flares and incoming missiles.

Leon: I've got their dream share reaching critical mass. They're straining using all of their defensive measures so quickly.

Tegan: I've got the missiles.

Tegan position's her chair and begins taking the missiles out with careful shots as Leon flips another switch and fires three Missiles from the Grill of the car as he drives over the gate and into the Fortress as Tegan takes out the last missile.

Tegan: We're in!

Leon: Let's go hand to hand…!

Tegan drops the bubble and jumps off of the root, firing into the air with her rocket boots as Leon brakes and suddenly dematerialized the car around him before it turns into a Shield and Handgun. Using the shield to block incoming fire before he takes timed shots and drops a few Guards as Tegan bullets herself back down and slams her fist into a Guard, sending him flying before she materializes a pair of SubMachine Guns as she opens fire, covering for Leon who makes his way towards the Access Elevator as Tegan watches a slew of vehicle's pull up from the outside the Gate.

Tegan: We've got reinforcements.

Leon: I'll get the door open. You take out the extras!

Leon slams the Shield behind him and spikes it into the ground as it cocoons around him as Leon touches the door and begins to look through a flurry of flashing code as Tegan drops to the ground and places her hand to the asphalt as the a vehicles drew closer and closer as Tegan smirks and then claps, watching as the ground suddenly split into a falling void as three vehicles fell immediately into the nothing as the others turned and avoided it only for Tegan to raise three Missile Launching Turrets as she auto locks on the remaining vehicles and fires as Leon cracks the code and watched as the Access Elevator Doors Open as Three Explosions erupt behind him as Leon dissipates the shield and comes to Tegan who does the same with the Missile Launchers

Tegan: Good work on that door.

Leon: I've got an idea where they're keeping the chain code. They backed up all the neural links to a specific area that…

The ground suddenly shook and the Two watched as a Giant Mech appears from the burning dust that kicked up around it's landing as Tegan cracks her neck as Leon just brushes the excessive dust off of his jacket as the Giant Mech locks onto them and fires, Leon rushing forward as he throws the bubble shield up around him and Tegan as Tegan pulls a stick of gum out as she then materializes a Rail Gun.

Leon: Any day now!

Tegan: Oh hush.

Tegan takes aim and lays the Rail Gun on Leon's right shoulder as she takes aim and scans for a weak spot as missiles and fire and bullets assault the shield as Leon strains.

Leon: I'm losing power here…!

Tegan: Almost got it…

Tegan finds a small heat signature.

Tegan: Boom.

Tegan fired from the Rail Gun and watched as the plasma round streaked through the air and hit a direct spot on the Giant Mech which causes the entire thing and the person operating it to go to in a bright blue flash of exploding light as Leon lowers the shield as Tegan smacks at her gum as she dissipates the Rail Gun and turns and strides into the access elevator as Leon follows suit.

In the Sub Basement

Guards set up defensive perimeters and aim every heavy weapon at the Lowering Access Elevator as they wait with baited breath as a Guard hails a number.

Guard: We're under attack! Irepeat, we're under attack! Two dreamers are…

The elevator door dings as everyone begins opening fire as the Guard screams for anyone to respond but can only hear the never ending barrage of gunfire as he turns to see his Men dropping like dolls as Tegan has a shield around her and Leon as Leon is running and slicing through Guards with a mounted Armblade before firing from a pistol that was delivering shotgun type blasts. The Guards do everything they can but nothing was penetrating through Tegan's shield as Leon gets through the to the final few men, slitting one's throat before he blows another's head off as Tegan dematerialized the shield as she comes up to the console as Leon kills the guard who had asked for back up.

Leon: Dream share is stabilizing. Seems like that's the last of them.

Tegan: Walk in the park.

Leon: Let's not overstay.

Tegan nods and hums to herself as she goes and grabs a briefcase that was hiding behind a sliding door she unlocks and opening it she takes the phone out of it and pockets it.

Tegan: Got it.

Leon: Hold on.

Tegan takes a deep breath as Leon grabs her hand and mutters before suddenly they're engulfed by a blue and green haze.

Outside of the Fortress

Leon gasps as he collapses to a knee as Tegan checks on him as he had teleported the two out of the Fortress as they watch from all over every type of vehicle and aircraft surrounding the Fortress as Leon smirks as he nods and spits.

Leon: Goddamn that drains me.

Tegan: You going to be good to get back?

Leon: Yeah...yeah I'll be alright.

Tegan: What's our time?

Leon checks the watch as he grins.

Leon: 23 minutes.

Tegan: Fuck we're good.

Leon: We better get some distance from here. I'll see you back at the hideout.

The two do a handshake as Leon materializes his hoverboard and fires off into the sky as Tegan looks back and watches the D.R.C swarm the area as she smirks and puts her nano mask on before she rocket boots up and flies off in a different direction towards the always ongoing insanity of the dream shared world.
