(Area 51)
A massive red beam was fired down the hall and it hit Christa’s shield. Heavy winds, heat, and force never before felt slowly pushed her back. The beam split into several rays around the group, destroying some of the debris behind them and closing off the entrance of the ruins and rumbling all of it like an intense earthquake. Soon the beam faded.
Christa didn’t lower her shield. “It... should be safe now,” she tried to catch her breath.
“What was that?” Gabriella asked over comms.
“Hey, Gabs,” Arkham replied. “Did Monarch’s file ever mention something like a giant laser?”
“...Towers of Babylon,” Gabriella replied. “It’s what they called his power. If those hit you directly, you’re a goner. It doesn’t matter how strong your defenses are. Project Monarch was classified as an Apocalypse-class subject.”
“Well, that’s just fantastic,” Arkham replied. “And our way out is gone too.”
“I’ll resolve that issue, just progress further,” Gabriella instructed over comms. “You have to get past the old holding area.”
“Definitely not looking forward to that,” Christa sighed as she led the group, while Arkham and Noire had their firearms aimed right over her shield.
