William. Be very silent, and very subtle. The woman speaking to Alyna...bracket her skull in your rifle sights. Do not shoot unless I give the order.
All was hissed through clenched teeth. He was taking a tremendous risk, all for a leap of faith he did not feel was worth it. The young DeSeer felt sickened, for one...and was sorely, sorely tempted to level the place and be done with it.
Tremendous feat of willpower was tremendous.

Moving silently up beside Iden, William crouched down and aimed past him at the 'priestess' performing the ritual; making sure to still every part of his body and make sure that nothing would disturb the shot, his goal to push most of the woman's brains through a tangerine sized hole he was about to put in the back of her head.
The feeling he was getting from the actions of the woman in there where disturbing in the least; the only desire he had was to cleanse this entire country with nuclear fire, nothing should be able to remain from this ritual, all needed to be purged. But, at Iden's command he held fire, waiting patiently for the go to ruin this b***h's day.

*Will and Iden werent the only ones on edge. As the priestess turned her back to Alyna to start teh summoning, the jaguar snapped her head to stare straight at Iden. What was in her eyes was unclear.
Silently, she mouthed 'wait' and pointed to Javos, then took her attention back to the Priestess. The ritual should have been performed by two, but Rayna was strong enough to do it alone. The first stages of the ritual brought forth a ghost of the Wyrm, its visage and voice even though the earth was as yet untainted.
There followed a bellowing roar as it spied Alyna, and sensed more than its priestess, mortal shell as she was, could. There were no words from it. Just the FEELING of anger and rage, enough to cow lesser beings. But Alyna was grinning, as the priestess seemed to turn in slow motion*
Good. I wanted you to see this, you b*****d. You will keep the HELL out of MY land! And off of my people! Come on... you have a host right here... try and take me, ******** face!
*The Priestess screamed as the Wyrm flooded into her, driven to rage just by Alyna's presence - and that of Iden and Javos, both of which he percieved - and lunged for her. It wasnt to be. Alyna screamed the name of her life mate, and Javos rose from the floor, totally unwounded, and blew a fine powder from his hands into the Priuestess/Wyrm's face as Alyna's companion smashed the enemy to the floor, and then all three looked at Iden and Will*
Exit's THIS way boys. Company will be coming at us, but I suggest we go THROUGH them and FAST. Timer's ticking.
*Alyna spoke calmly, but was already turning to run for the exit. Clearly, the place was due to explode. The Priestess on teh floro was screaming in pain now, her face blating and turning horrific colours. And the Wyrm too was shrieking, unable to disengage from the mortal host. Heavens knew what alyna had done*
We dont have arms, this was going to be a suicide run. Lucky for us, you turned up. So... mind taking point?
*and indeed, a group of 6 security from topside were already heading their way, and another six from the right wing of the grounds.*

It seemed the order wasn't to be given. Iden maintained a very stoic expression as he watched, only to rise and walk forward calmly and quietly as the host was crippled and forced aside. He paused only long enough to spit at the creature, then turned to Will.
Guards are all yours. Show me what you can do.
Iden had known what Will was feeling. He felt it too, but worse...he'd once been a vessel, similar to the woman writhing in agony upon the ground. It was all he could do but smile as he pulled a second block of plastic explosives from his bag and punch it into her gut, winding the poor b***h. Then he stood, and turned to the exit. Trusting Will to pave the road, he would usher those others to the exit...and quickly. A handgun was tossed to Alyna, Javos he knew was already packing. As for him? He had his shotgun, and anybody Will missed would no doubt be meeting a fate far worse than death by gunshot.

Lowering his rifle and walking into the room, William watched with a certain sadistic satisfaction as she thrashed and screamed on the floor; going so much as to laugh as he walked past her and towards the exit. Listening to the on rush of troops, Williams grin never ceased; when the Wyrm had come through and seen Alnya, the rage that had come off of it had an effect on William. With his own blood-lust and need for destruction peaked from the actions of the priestess thus far, the wave of emotion from the Wyrm was the proverbial straw; William needed to kill things now, and in the most painful of ways. Un-hooking his shotgun and tossing it as well as a bandolier of ammo to Alnya, William turned to Iden and gave him the only order he would of the night.
"Stay right on my a**, don't get too close, and don't fall behind; understood?"
Will wouldn't wait for Iden's answer, instead the others would see his body begin to change, grow, and mutate; most of his clothing and equipment disappearing with the exception of his rifle and his tac-vest. Where William had stood was now a horrible amalgamation of garou and Nothing war-forms, thick fur, hide, carapace, spike, and spines covering the body; the yellow and black eyes would look at them once more before it burst out of the room and towards the gathering guards, long bursts of automatic gunfire followed by screams and the sound of wet leather tearing coming from the hallway.

Holy..! Who's the new guy?
*Alyna's eyes widened as Will changed, while her companion turned Jaguar as guns were passed around. Javos snarled briefly, drawing Alyna's attention from the carnage up front to the incoming BEHIND them.*
Your six, Iden. Aerik, support the monster, take anything he misses.
*Turning and walking backwards, one hand on the taller Javos' chest for guidance as he fired over her shoulder, the cats would back up behdin William, heading out after him and leaving Iden to pick which set of problems he wanted to throw volatile hate at.
Out would be easy. It was just a matter of out gunning the enemy, which wasnt hard considering the site was woefully ill prepared for the assault already launched on it. True to normal form, the cats took the odd shot to their own bodies without bother, especially if it ensured they took down whatever was following them. When one coudl not die, a few bullets werent too much an issue, as long as they didnt hit joints*

Six hostiles, eight shells, no problem. Iden took to the fight with a gusto, snapping off the first shot before any of the men could get a round off. The lead guard fell, thrashing in wild spasms as his muscles contracted sharply. His fate seemed a minimal discouragement to his peers, who rushed headlong into a similar encounter. Iden was faster, more durable, and better armed than all six of them combined...in the end, he would have spent six shells, and have two prisoners out cold slumped over his shoulders. A gift for Yoachi. Up ahead...well, following in William's footsteps was easy. Just listen for the sounds of pain and violence.

Moving quickly out the door and down the hall at a full sprint, his limited grasp of celerity boosting him further, William moved on the hapless guards with his rifle going on full auto; spraying them with 7.62x51mm FMJ's, tearing them apart with his bare hands when the weapon ran dry. By the time Aerik made it out of the room, William was reloading and bolting down the hallway again; moving at full speed towards the exit to the surface, tearing apart whatever was in his way.

*An easy out. The group were armed in ways Alyna hadnt been able to secure, what with finding only one way to get what she had needed from this encournter. hitting surface, on jaguar was a mess on the central floor, his partner stood over him lickign him, but the two panthers were down. Aerik stopped to help pick up the downed good guy, and then took off running for the trees*
Meet us at the Luna temple. I suggest shifting a**. When this place goes, it's going to leave a CRATER. You have 60 seconds.
*shifting forms, Alyna was gone into the trees with her team before the others could say a word. Javos... remained with Iden, running for the tree line as rumbles underground boded ill*

This was about the time Iden typically ran like a bat out of hell yelling obscenities.
Of course, no yelling came this time 'round, but the running bit was spot on. He was hauling a** as swiftly as his a** could be hauled, determined to not be in the radius when the hole was dug via massive explosion of swirling heat and death. If and when they were clear, then it would fall to Javos to lead them to the temple...after all, this was his turf. Iden didn't know where the place was.

Waiting on the surface for the others, William would run up along side Iden the moment the man reached the surface; having regained his 'human' form, Will looked like he had before his little escape plan.
"So, what the game plan; run our asses off and try not to die in the coming explosion?"

In short, yes!
*Javos was lighter than the other two, but his speed wasnt as great as it was when he was in cat form. Thus, he about kept pace with Iden, runnign hell for leather for the tree line.
He could have run faster as a cat. He could have left with the others, but he didnt. he stayed glued to Iden;s side with a curious light in his eyes as he hit the tree line, and darted with practiced ease around the trees and vines, counting under his breath.
At 56, he threw himself against Iden and will to take them to the ground as it rumbled much louder, ripples felt through the earth itself before, almost in slow motion and beautifully, the entire compound exploded.
the explosion itself wasnt enough to hurt the men, as far form it as they were. It was the thrown up debris of earth, steel and other shrapnel that was lethal, and smashed down around them like silver rain. Without even thinking about it, Javos covered Iden's form asmuch as he could, not caring if he got torn up.
When it was all over, the smell of scorched earth, explosives and rich loamy earth filled the air, and the trio were now on the edge of rather large, if relatively shallow, crater.*

For several long seconds after, the young DeSeer found he could not hear, nor could he comprehend the world around him. The explosion had been large enough to stun him and leave him reeling.
Slowly he pushed Javos aside, still dazed. He shook his head slowly, then began to assess the damages, starting with his erstwhile protector.
C'mon, mate. Up and at 'em. You gotta lead us to yon temple.

In which case, pulling the spike sticking into my back out might help...
*Javos grunted the words through clenched teeth. Just under his left ribcage, a jagged length of steel strut had pierced into him, just where he couldnt grab it himself. his back was ALSO peppered with smaller debris, any semblance of clothing ripped up beyond repair, but, he WAS a ceilican. If it was pulled out, he'd walk it off.*

Sitting up and brushing the ash and debris off of him, Will looked at what had been the Pentex facility; now it would be a new artificial lake. Hearing something to his left, Will looked over and saw that Iden and Javos where up as well; though his hearing was now ******** thanks to the explosion.
