Alec pursed his lips in thought. This could be good, or it could be really bad. Either Krauser had no idea Nathan was in the building yet, or he was trying to see why Nathan was there at all. Alec voiced his thoughts to Ophiucus. "Alright, keep an eye out for anything screwy. If something happens, let me know so me and Luna can distract the guards as much as possible."

Ophiuchus snorted. "I'd worry about your own problems first. I sense nasty things down there. Are Aurora and Riser in position yet?"

"Yeah...I'm in position...That fall hurt like all hell, I've got a good sized gash on my left leg from the antenna I hit...and wrecked. I'm heading inside right now, I don't want to be up here when they come to see why their antenna is all bashed to s**t."
It was around this time, that a man of decent height strolled in the front entrance. His hair was very neat and well groomed, and he was dressed in an almost military-green suit. An armband on his left bicep bore a large skull and crossbones insignia, a K adorning the forehead.
Casually, he walked to the desk where Nathan was chatting with the secretary. He leaned slightly and placed his white gloved hands on the desk. "Excuse me Ms." his accent was clearly of both Swiss and German background. "This man is wanted by the Brigadier General."
He stepped casually behind the desk, and typed several numbers into some sort of telephone. He barked something in German into a mic, and quickly a rather angry voice responded in German.
"They'll be with you shortly sir." With this, he pulled out a revolver and pointed it at Nathan.

Luna blinked a bit to adjust herself after the unusual, yet exhilarating, journey to their position. She crossed her arms over her chest and wondered how long it'd take them to find Ialo. Everyone seemed to know what they were doing, and she really had one thing on her--
It was REALLY dark underground.
She wrapped her arms closer to herself and closed her eyes. She didn't like such compact spaces. She liked to be in the wide open and this just wasn't comfortable at all. She wanted out already. Such a quitter, tsk tsk.
Speaking of quitting, what exactly was she quitting? All of these pinheads were most likely going to succeed in rescuing Ialo and then she'd be in the back waiting for him. She wanted to lead! She just didn't know how. Well, her one and only job would probably be trying to seduce the guards enough so that Alec could temporarily disarm them and.....
She opened her eyes.
"What exactly are we going to do to distract the guards?" Luna asked with a tap on Alec's shoulder. That was his shoulder, right? It was dark down there....

"And they have a gun in the first five minutes! Cut the power, now!" Ophiuchus commanded. Well, he wasn't really in charge, Nathan was, but given the circumstances at hand...
"Oh?" Nathan asked cheerfully as he slowly raised his hands in surrender. "Warum?"
[[Warum = why (German)]]

Luna had tapped Alec on the shoulder, luckily, but he wasn't really paying attention because of what he had just heard in his ear. He spoke quickly to Luna as he set himself up for what he was about to do. "Just follow my lead ice lady!" And with that, Alec sent the entire 10 feet of solid earth through the basement walls and straight into the main power generator.
There was a few slow milliseconds of tension before the flames started, but once they did, they expanded at such a rate that sent everything in the power room flying from the resulting explosion. Alec didn't close the hole he had made to protect him and Luna from the explosion, like someone would normally think. Instead, Alec just had the flames and force deflect around them in a large radius. The flames either shot around them or back into the generator room.
Once the chaos was done, the fire sprinklers turned on and began to fight the flames quite poorly. Alec walked through the tunnel and into the room, getting rained on slightly by the sprinklers. He shouted back to Luna as he stood there, hoping that security would notice him and only him right now. "Watch my back Luna!"

There was his cue. Riser fell out of existence in his current spot and fell back in next to what he could only assume was the main generator; it was large, it had caution signs about high voltage currents in multiple languages, and it was humming. This had to be it.
Changing for the situation, he took every bit of usable bulk from his body and massed it onto his arms and legs. Grabbing hold of the two massive cables running into the main building, he planted his feet on the wall and pushed off as hard as he could while maintaining a vice grip with his arms.
That was it, but the power wasn't out.
'Serpent there's a problem. I cut the power, but I think you can tell what went wrong. This thing is massive, but I don't think it's the main one, they're probably scattered all over the damned building.'

((I actually like how this can turn out, so lets keep it that both Alec and Riser shut down different generators thinking they had the main one.))

A small patrol of six guards came storming down a flight of stairs to the generator room that Alec was busy sabotaging. They were apparently smart, as the first thing they did was to throw some form of electrical grenades into the room before opening fire from the stairwell.

Soon Shintero was popping out of the floor right behind Ophi and would of landed on his rear end if not for a well placed wind spell. He saw Nathan not to far away, but couldnt see Ophi anywhere despite the fact Alec said thats where he was sending him. He then heard a loud explosion deep underground and from what he could tell, the source of the explosion came from the location Alec and Luna were at.

Alec just sent up a large steel shield through the ground between him and the guards, which would not only ground out the electricity from the grenades, but would also deflect the bullets. Alec decided to return fire by sending some special boulders towards the guards. 'Special' in the sense that they flew through the air towards them, and had a large fire packed into the center of each once, acting like a large frag grenade on it's own. Alec looked around the room for a working security camera. He luckily found one and promptly waved into it, flicking off whoever was watching and making obscene gestures into the lens. Alec wanted to piss these guys off enough for them to focus their full attention on him.

Ophiuchus quickly grabbed Shintero by the back of his shirt and covered him in the invisibility and silencing spells. "Shintero, do what I say and nothing else, nothing more," the Serpent said seriously. "Don't use any magic of your own until I tell you to. We're going to trail Mr. Enlil and make sure he comes to no harm while he leads us to Ialo, understand?"
After that, Ophiuchus responded to Riser. 'I don't know how the generators are set up in this building, but I imagine you're right. Well then, I guess you'll just have to keep destroying them.'
Though the power was still on, the building lights did flicker, and emergency shutters began to descend on the doors and windows leading to the outside world.
"Well," Nathan commented. "I see you rolled out the red carpet just for the old boss!"

Meanwhile, Luna had created a clear shield of ice between Alec and her and the guards. Deciding to have a small bit of fun, she froze a couple of the guards bodies and lifted them as if they were weightless. Luna grinned as she made the two guards dance with each other in midair.
She lost concentration, though, when some of the guards impatiently began banging on her precious little wall with their guns. A crack appeared, and she began adding layers to their protection.
Luna sent small icicles around the group of men, which created an echoing sound of shatters. They needed for these guys to be completely absorbed in them. She continued placing layers on the wall, because for some reason, she wasn't acting in her best ability.

Alec sent his rock bombs at the remaining guards when he heard the chatter going on between Ophi and Riser. This made Alec slightly miffed that he hadn't cut the power like he wanted to, but he kinda figured he hadn't when the main lights stayed on. Alec looked over at Luna and shouted loudly so she could hear him over the general mayhem. "We need to move! There's more generators to hit!" Alec then rushed towards Luna, and in probably the stupidest move he could have managed at that point, tackled her, and sent them both shooting through the ground. Alec reached out with his senses and found that a massive amount of electricity was originating from an even bigger chamber further down than the one they were in. Alec switched course and sent Luna and him towards this new cavern.
Within moments Alec and Luna were shooting through the walls of this new room and standing on the polished floor tiles. Alec looked up at the massive generator before him and whistled. The thing was 6 stories tall! Alec was about to just torch the thing when an idea came to him. If this wasn't the main generator, and the building could sustain primary power without this, Alec would have to leap frog around to destroy the others, which is something they didn't have time for. So Alec radioed in to the team and let them know what he was up to. "I'm gonna try something with the generator. Hang on!"
Alec held out his hands, and instead of making the generator implode, he rewired the flow of electricity inside the thing itself! Now instead of giving electricity to the rest of the building, it would suck it away into itself! Alec grabbed on to Luna once more and sent them deep into the ground below. He knew this was gonna be a big bang. The generator continued to suck power from the building, and from the other generators since they were closest. But since this thing wasn't built to handle that much power, it wasn't long before the generator began to flash warning signs. Within minutes, the generator was at critical capacity.
Seconds later, a massive explosion could be heard throughout the entire complex. Alec and Luna actually felt the tremors from where they were it was so big.

Luna closed her eyes as the vibrations gathered around them. "You can't do that with all of them," she muttered as it quieted down.
"I have a feeling the main generator is going to have more obstacles than just a few guards."
