Crimson Fox laughed and started stepping back as she saw Shark forcibly extricate himself from the terminal, "Always thinking ahead Ray. Don't worry about me, I'm quick on my feet." Shark roared and charged at Fox. Fox stood her ground and stared the metahuman down until he was right on top of her, teeth flashing. Suddenly Fox ducked to the side and her claws left shallow furrows on Shark's side making him roar in pain. His pained screams turned into incredulous surprise as Fox turned her momentum to hop on Shark's back and ride him forward toward's the front section of the sub. She laughed out loud as she rode on Shark's back before twisting her legs around his neck. He tried to claw at her with his large arms but couldn't get the slippery hero in his gasp.
Shark kept moving forward while clawing for Fox while her strong legs kept constricting his windpipe. His struggling became more frantic but more weak until finally he slammed forward on the floor. Not wanting to kill the villain Fox unlocked her legs and allowed Shark to breath before pulling her legs back together to jump off of Shark's head while slamming a palm into the back of his head. As she leaped into the air she suddenly saw the floor rise to her face. Fox slammed a palm outward to stop her face hitting the deck and looked back to see the furious Shark grasping her ankle. His teeth bared but Fox kicked him in the snout with her free foot and his weakened grip allowed her to slip free.
Fox ran towards the front section of the sub as Shark got to his feet. Fox opened and closed the hatch shut just in time for Shark to slam into the door and dent the metal. It groaned but held fast. Fox spoke into the radio, "I seem to have made Shark angry Ray. But I'm clear, make your move." Fox spotted the exit hatch above her and climbed the ladder to made good her escape

Creeper nodded and stuffed the bombs haphazardly into a bag and strapped the gadget on as he slapped on another skin patch, changing back into Jack Ryder. Jack tied up all the guards and picked up a sub-machine gun. He consulted his map and began working his way throughout the estate, doing his best to avoid other patrols and placing the gas bombs discretely in several nooks and crannies. He made it four-fifths down his supply of grenades, so far so good. Hopefully their luck kept holding out. He kept walking along until he saw Doctor Spectro walking down a hall with an escort of six guards. Spectro was an inventor who created a suit that projected emotions and used it to commit crime. Ryder thought he could take the seven of them as Creeper. He telepathically thought Spectro and six others near my position. Opportunity to neutralize. How should I proceed?
Vibe guessed where Cindy was and grinned at the air, "Ready let's go." They found an elevator leading down into the sub-levels and Vibe cracked his knuckles as they descended. No telling what was going to be down there. They had to be ready for anything. It seemed like an eternity as they went further and further down into the earth. Cisco exhaled and felt his heart settle in his rhythm and he got ready to fight. Finally the doors opened and Vibe stepped out with hands raised. They found rocky halls with grey walls and stark white lighting. Not a soul in sight.
Vibe whispered, "This isn't creepy." There were several branching paths and Vibe couldn't hear anything.But there was something.... off. Everything was strange. The very air seemed to reverberate with a strange energy. Cisco was incredibly unnerved and he spoke into the radio, "Ok we're down here Sandy. No sign of hostiles. Or anyone. Multiple paths. Advise. I don't think we're alone down here." Vibe felt like he was being watched. He saw nothing.
