"There are too many of them!" Jack yelled out, "We need backup! Michael, help!" Michael threw his headset to the side, "They've been compromised. We're on our own!" He pulsed as an oncoming wave of bullets came near. "We need another way. Ostin, figure it out! We'll cover for you. THINK!" Taylor screamed, "Please!"

Ostin said, "There's only the four of us now. The others were with the Voice. Keep repelling the bullets!" Loud footsteps could be heard from the surrounding hallways. "Ostin, any escape route yet?" He shook his head, concentrating hard. 

Smoke started spreading throughout the hallways and through the doors. The thick smoke was unbearable. A loud roaring noise was followed by scattered bullets. Michael felt sharp pain throughout his arm and winced. He had been grazed by a bullet. He was losing energy fast, and he was becoming increasingly weak.

Jack yelled, "Any time now, Tex!" Ostin wheezed, "We could probably take a hallway. Taylor, we need you to help distract and reboot the guards. Are you able to do that?" She yelled, "That's fine. Michael needs to rest for a second, he can barely pulse anymore." Michael said, "I'm fine, we need to go now!" 

Flames started to spread, debris flying everywhere. Embers from the flame scorched holes in their shoes, slowing the escape. Jack yelled, "They have flamethrower, RUN!" They ran towards the hallway. Several guards aimed their weapons, and gunshots erupted through the hallway. This wasn't at all like his favorite game of Halo.

Michael took the lead as more guards shot at the group. He was sweating profusely and was shaking, barely able to repel the bullets. Jack grabbed a nearby pistol and quickly loaded it, "Any time now, Taylor." 

The soldiers instantly  grabbed the backs of their heads and fell to the ground. Everything went silent. "The coast is clear," Michael yelled, grasping his ears. His ears were ringing, and he could tell something was wrong. He touched his ear to feel warm blood dripping down his face. "My ear... We gotta go fast." Taylor gasped at the sight of his bloodied face, "Michael, what happened?" Ostin said, "He'll be fine if we hurry out, the Ranch has a bunch of Medics now. We need to go!" 

Michael nodded and they ran down the hallway. The smoke followed, making it hard to breath. Michael looked down the hallway and saw no guards, "This way! There might be a good exit. The Lung Li shouldn't be down there anymore. Taylor ran out in front, "I don't see anything..." She walked out into the open. Michael yelled, "Wait!" 

There was a shrill beep. Jack was horrified, "IED! Duck!" He and Ostin instinctively leapt out of the way. Michael ran to Taylor, trying to save her. Fear painted its own horrific scene on her face. She quickly ran and shoved Michael behind the wall. She tripped and shakily scrambled toward Michael. He ran toward her, trying to help. She coughed up smoke and wearily said, "I'm sorry..." 

He couldn't hear her voice.

Flames engulfed the room, then everything went dark.

There will be a part two soon guys, don't worry!

I just need to think about what to add next. 🕵🏼

In the meantime, please send me One Shot ideas. 

Definition:

▶️ It is an idea for a scenario that your characters will have to go through. You get "one shot" to make a short scene. It's a shorter, cleaner version of Fanfiction. It is entertaining and satisfying to write. 

I highly recommend reading other One Shots to get a feel for the material. Mine are pretty unique in structure and content, though. 

The best ideas are the ones developed by people working together!

Please give me a follow and vote on this chapter. The fandom needs your support!

We will grow the Michael Vey Fandom one Veyniac at a time!
