Ryder walked forward with not a single disregard for keeping herself concealed. Umbra knew they'd come, knew the Sword of Damocles was raised. She wasn't here to play nice. [color=00ffff]"Didn't ask, don't fucking care."[/color] She held her makeshift laser weapon up, walking out in front of Cyclops and mentally hijacking the intercom systems. Jean might've wanted mercy, but Ryder was hardly pushing for that. They'd come here for a fight, [i]she[/i] came here for retribution, for a fucking finale. On every level, there were several guards who felt anything but moved by Jean's announcement. In fact, most of them weren't inclined to pay her and mind given the company they'd followed here. Ryder knew this, because she had her finger on Umbra's pulse long before now. So following her well-meaning message, there came one more menacing. [COLOR=00FFFF][b][I]LISTEN UP, UMBRA. YOU AND THE PLACE NAMED AFTER YOU...[/I][/b][/COLOR] A door was telekinetically forced open, and three guards aimed rifles at Ryder. She was an easy target in the pitch black darkness inside. They didn't have NVGs on, they wouldn't need them. Though, being an easy target cut both ways in this case, as two flew upwards into the ceiling, and then slammed face-first into the ground faster than a person could survive. All the while, Ryder fired lasers straight through the arm and rib cage of the third. Their radios gave away their positions before she stepped inside. [COLOR=00FFFF][I][B]IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY, ANYONE AT ALL WHO GIVES A SINGLE FUCKING SHIT ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING, [U]GO. HOME. NOW.[/U][/B][/I][/COLOR] The walls shook under the volume of her transmitted voice. She pushed another four guards away into the wall and turned their own firearms back on them. She paid no mind to watching their bodies slump over. Ryder jacked her mind into the elevator system, it wasn't working for them but she didn't want it to. She ripped the doors out, and they floated behind her. [COLOR=00FFFF][I][b]YOU TURNED ME INTO A WEAPON, WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE ELSE ON THE FUCKING PLANET. YOU COULDN'T HAVE JUST MADE A MACHINE, IT JUST HAD TO BE A PERSON. A FUCKING PERSON. WHO YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD CONTROL YOU WERE FUCKING WRONG SO NOW, I'M GOING TO MARCH DOWN INTO THAT PIT THEY DUG, AND I'M GOING TO VAPORIZE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING BASTARD IN MY WAY. SO STAND DOWN, AND RUN WHILE YOU FUCKING CAN, BECAUSE IF I SEE YOU IN FRONT OF ME, YOU'RE NOT FUCKING WALKING AWAY!!![/b][/I][/COLOR] Her face was the picture of apathy. Not a single trace of malice to read, just cold determination. When the X-Men caught up with her, the elevator was dragged up by Ryder's telekinesis. [color=00ffff][I][B]YOU WILL NOT BE WARNED AGAIN.[/b][/i][/color] She stepped into it, while it hovered above a shaft that descended far below. [color=00ffff]"You coming?"[/color]
