The lobby of the Iron Tower descended into absolute, bloody chaos.
The moment the heavy glass doors shattered, the alarms triggered. "WEE-OOO! WEE-OOO!" The pristine, white lighting of the lobby instantly shifted to a glaring, flashing red.
Arthur stood in the ruined entrance, perfectly calm. To his right, Cassia dropped her violin case. The black leather unzipped itself, and she smoothly pulled out her heavy sniper rifle in one fluid motion. To his left, Vane reached into his pocket. A flash of spatial light erupted, and his massive, chipped broadsword materialized in his grip.
"Intruders in the main lobby!" a guard shrieked from the reception desk. "Open fire!"
The dozen heavy mechs outside spun around, their rotary cannons tracking Arthur's back. But before they could pull the triggers, Cassia moved.
"PEW! PEW! PEW!"
