"No point in waiting around. Later!" Said Parker with a grin.

He dashed towards the exit at the North and paused. There was a control panel next to the door. He shrugged and mashed the keypad. The door opened up. He charged into the next room and the rest of the group slowly milled through. Thomas was looking shell-shocked from the crash but some of the others pushed him over to the door.

Lincoln paused momentarily to look at the bridge overhead but shook his head and finally joined the others. Tyrese scrambled in the truck wreckage with a couple of others but there was nothing salvageable.

"Let's move on already." Said Dennis frustratedly. The last of them finally exited through the North entrance. It was truly beginning now.

The room beyond was very ordinary. Mikhail braced himself. Emperor Fong sniffed the walls curiously. Brie looked up at the concerned General questioningly.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

General Chuikov sighed. "It's too clean. Too empty. We're here in another corridor and they saw us coming but there's nothing. It would have almost been expected for an ambush but just emptiness everywhere. None of it feels right."

There were some murmurs of agreement. Things had gotten heated earlier. When there was nothing to do but tear at each other's throats in a confined space, it was a dangerous situation indeed.

Kane raised his finger to shush the group. The murmuring continued.

"That means shut up assholes!" He snarled.

"Why don't you-" Tyrese began but he stopped suddenly. There was a faint sound.

More purple sparks descended from the ceiling. They were getting more and more frequent. This whole room was alive in their electrical pulse.

"What is that stuff?" Said Hobert, attempting to reach out and catch one.

"DON'T!" Shouted Katy, pulling him back.

The sparks were spiraling towards the wall. When they collided there was a crashing sound. It was followed by a barely audible hum which seemed to be growing in frequency. Everybody braced themselves. This didn't look good. The sparks were whirling into life at an excessive rate now.

At their centre, a cascade of colours filled the room. Shades of violet and dark blue. Clouds of some kind of noxious purple energy leapt up from the surface. Nobody wanted to breathe as the light show picked up tempo. The room became awash with the sound of crackling energy as finally a great whooshing noise filled the air.

In the middle of the wall was a dark black hole. It swirled around. Cold air blew from it and the sparks and purple energy danced over the surface. It seemed to suck in the light from the room somehow but there was a faint image in it. An image of something that looked almost like...

A man.

And right at that moment, he was flung forth. He hurtled across the room, crashing hard into the far wall. The group scattered, taking care to avoid either him or the black hole in the wall. The sparks leapt away as slowly the mysterious energy portal vanished into dust.

Rubbing his head and cursing to himself quietly, the man looked up. He was dressed in a full suit of armour, and he had flowing blonde hair that cascaded down his shoulders. He seemed to reach for a scabbard but it was empty. Frantically darting his eyes around, he spied an enormous silver sword on the ground. It commanded a certain presence.

He dived stealthily and grabbed the hilt, swinging it up in the air in a furious arc. The sword seemed to slice through the sky, leaving a faint trail everywhere it went. He held it aloft and looked from person to person with a frantic and disturbed expression. All eyes were on him.

"You can put down the sword. What's your name? And where did you come from?" Said Mikhail diplomatically.

The armoured man snarled.

"My name is Theseus. I am the greatest hero the world has ever known. And I don't answer to the likes of you." He said bitterly.

It is now Phase 2. Phase 2 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

Wouldn't going south send us back to a room with an exit only going forward?

What do the walls smell like Fong??

Wouldn't going south send us back to a room with an exit only going forward?

Yes, but it's still an exit.

Well looks like we shouldn't be talking to Theseus.
