Everything was going south. Their escape was cut off and her people were dying. Portal was about to move when a bullet grazed her left arm and heard Ollie's words and then another bullet hit what was behind her.
The Raider soon appeared out of nowhere and she silently cursed herself for being so careless.
"
Thank you for the save and fuck you, better watch where you're shooting ! " said Portal while looking first at Ollie and then at Damon.
She looked at the battlefield and saw a few inmates trying to escape. It was futile of course, first she had orders to get them to base camp and second the aliens wouldn't let them escape. That's when the ground shook. An earthquake, a strong one.
The prison's walls started to crumble, threatening to bury everyone in the vicinity. Portal had to do something.
She teleported as fast as she could and gathered everyone, under a big metal debris that fell from the prison and with some final words "
Hold on tight " teleported all of them to base camp.
Base Camp, 5 km under Daria
They all appeared inside a room. Computer screens were on the walls, people were moving around them exchanging words when they soon realized that they were not alone anymore in the room.
Guards soon pointed guns at them and a big man in a wheelchair approached the group. Portal was grinning at the man, blood on her lips.
"
What the fuck did you Amy ?! I told you it's too dangerous ! " yelled the man at Portal using her real name.
"
I did...what a hero is meant t--" said Portal between coughs and then fell on the floor. Her skin turning to a sickly yellow tint.
The Collective Man shook his head and motioned for the nearest two guards to take Portal to the med-bay. Then he looked at the group.
"
Welcome to the last hope of humanity. Some of you might know me personally, while the others know me by reputation alone.
I'm sorry for Amy's...teleportation. The sickness will pass in a few hours for you and for her ? Let's hope she survives.
You may ask yourselves, why I've brought you here. Simply put. We lost the war. There is no way we can take the Earth back from the Occupation. Not when so many of our kind are dead or taken by the aliens. But, we can make the aliens bleed for every second they stay on our planet.
I offer you a choice, now. Join the Resistance and help us take back out planet or the villains and the few heroes I see between you will be released outside base camp and left to fend for themselves, with your collars on. " he let the words hang so that they make an effect and then added with a look of pure confidence "
You won't survive. I can guarantee that.
I await your answers and don't lie. I know when a person lies. A skill I gained when I took down Master Mind " he put accent on his last part of the story to remind everyone that he saved humanity once from slavery.
The guards all had weapons pointed at each of them and were far enough so that none could try to disarm them if they tried.
