AND THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS
The massive room was full of what looked like large metallic eggs that were connected by an extensive route system. Blue images were rising up the eggs starting at the bottom and dissipating towards the top. Upon closer inspection they were actually strings of html code. Edging their way out of the elevator the raiders dispersed among the eggs and started to inspect them. Kite poked one and then sniffed it. “Can we scramble them?” Coryn continued through the room, carefully avoiding the glowing blue roots. “You wouldn’t want to. Not unless you want to get a spam infection from the inside out.” Aero carefully eyed one of the eggs. “So these things are spam ninjas?”
“Yeah. This is how they’re born. Grown from eggs and infused with all the knowledge they need to wreak havoc. Hence the html.” Toasty poked one of the eggs. “How’d they all get here?” Doodle responded. “Looks like they’ve been around here for a while now. Could be remnants of the first great forum update. There were quite a few attacks directly afterwards when the site was still vulnerable.”
“Why haven’t they activated then?”
“They require a certain amount of energy to hatch. And this building has always had issues connecting with the main grid due to the older code used in construction.” Coryn interjected. “Which probably means that when the first team came in, they emitted enough excess energy to awaken enough of them to cause a problem.” Sai cut in. “So has anyone else but me realized what that means for us right now?”
“Yep. We’re *censored*ed.” As soon as the words had left Coryn’s mouth the code on the eggs dissipated completely and the glowing of the roots stopped as well. All around the room the eggs began to crack open and blue light shown through. More and more cracks opened up but none of the eggs were completely breached. The cracking stopped and all was silent. Suddenly however a spam ninja burst forth from an egg behind Coryn. It swung its sword at him but nearly instantaneously had Coryn drawn his sword, spun around, and cut the ninja clean in half. The two halves of the ninja fell to the ground and all of the others eggs simultaneously burst open with spam ninjas wielding different weapons. Coryn screamed out the other raiders before being consumed in a mass of the cretins. “NOBODY DIE! THAT’S AN ORDER!”
The other raiders were left with no other options but to fight for their lives. As Aero’s chain gun began to speed up, Doodle swung wide with her pencil into a swarm of spam ninjas. They flew past Toasty as he performed what seemed like a ballet of death, maneuvering around like a dancer he would use the recoil from his rifle to redirect himself. Sai drew both pistols and gave pin point cover fire for the other Raiders, blasting any ninja who got within five feet of any of them. Kite tossed two lit sticks of dynamite into the swarming spam ninja’s, moments later two massive explosion lit up the dark room and sent body parts everywhere. Once the explosion had died down her ran straight into the pack, slapping C4 charges onto ninjas as he ran past them. When he had made it to the far side of the room Kite spun around and whipped out the detonator. Hitting the button, Kite sent up a glorious explosion that reached up the very ceiling.
Back towards the room’s center a foot burst through from underneath a pile of burnt spam ninja corpses. Coryn bashed away more of them with one of his Kalashnikovs and quickly surveyed the room. Seeing that both of his clips were dry he dropped his rifles to the ground and drew the sword from his waist. Slinging the sheath into the swarm his successfully smashed in the head of one spam ninja before dashing at them with the katana out to his side and ready to strike.
Near the elevator Toasty and Doodle were working in tandem with each other. Constantly working in reverse Doodle would take out anything at close range wile Toasty was sniping to great effect. When each of them spotted a rush on their opposite sides Doodle dived over the top of the rifle’s long barrel as Toasty shifted his aim to the left. Once both were repositioned Toasty performed a triple head shot while Doodle wiped out five of the ninjas with a single swing.
Not far away Sai and Aero fought back to back against the hoard. Both were slowly running low on ammo however but until them neither were about to quite firing. Moments later however Aero’s chain gun went dead with a resounding click. He hurled the now useless piece of weaponry at the ninjas and managed to crush two of them. Sai reloaded both of his weapons with the last of his ammunition and tossed one of the pistols to Aero. The clips were quickly spent however and the two Raiders found themselves with no way to defend themselves. It was in this moment however that Aero noticed Kite rolling out a long length of detonation cable along the floor, ducking and dodging spam ninja attacks as he did. The others soon got the hint as well and reconvened back at the elevator. They quickly discovered however that the elevator had been damaged in the battle and was completely out of commission. Seeing this Toasty popped open the emergency hatch on the elevator ceiling and climbed up onto the roof with the rest of the Raider team on his heels. Kite’s cable came to an end and he hooked it up the detonator.
From below the noise of ninjas piling into the elevator spurred the Raiders to climb up onto the secondary cable. Coryn climbed on last, still gripping the now broken katana in his right hand he yelled up to the others. “Third floor! Guns, dry goods, piles of dead spam ninjas!” He slammed his foot down on the detonator and in the room below a series of massive explosions began near the outer walls and began to work their way in. Coryn swung at the cable connected to the elevator and severed it. The elevator rushed downwards, propelling the other cable and the Raiders holding onto it swiftly in an upwards direction. The explosions reached the elevator shaft and a column of flame shot up towards the Raiders. It quickly passed them but only managed to engulf them for a moment before it had reached it peaked and the now slightly singed Raiders shot out of it. Eventually they two began to lose momentum and at the last moment all six leaped off the cable and came to a semi soft landing on a floor that had its elevator doors stuck in the open position.
A small amount of light shown in through an opening in the blinds that had been long drawn over the window. Coryn stood up with some discomfort and pulled the string down, allowing the orange evening light to pour into the long abandoned hallway. All of MR City appeared in golden hue before the Raiders. Aero sighed and smiled at the view. “You know, It’s the little things like this that I missed about this place.” Behind them the wall began to crumble and soon almost the entire building began to fall away. Miraculously the side of building they were standing on remained intact. Toasty dropped to the ground and hung his legs over the side of what used to be the elevator shaft. “Co’s going to kill us when we get back….” The others sat/fell down as well and peered at the rubble. Doodle spoke up. “Probably. But until then…” Coryn let his legs hang off the side as well. “Just try to enjoy the view, and all the other little moments of peace we get in life.”
