Iris began walking towards the objective her eyes focused on it as she murmured something under her breath. Her staff clicked against the ground as she walked, she stopped and looked back at Raphael.

Raphael followed a few steps back, he was watching the perimeter lines for the towers that were supposed to be there. They were not in sight yet, but Raphael trusted the man who had given him the information. He nodded to Iris, "this is it, the final stretch"

"And where we part ways," Iris said turning and facing Raphael, she gave him a brief kiss," Good luck," she murmured to him before heading off to where soliders were patroling.

Raphael looked back to where the second truck should be. HE then turned to Iris saying, "we will link up again at the loading docks. Don't wait for me if you get there first though, we will meet up again in the office. Raphael had memorised the floor plan of the house, it had not been very tactical, not like the Xavier mansion, there were not many choke points which had Raphael a little worried, what could he have planned.

Iris nodded and disapeered around a corner and began her way to the solider's on patrol, "Hello there," she whispered to one leaning against the wall, the solider whirled around pointing his gun at Iris, but then dropped it as she penetrated his mind and reworked his memories and extracted information.

Raphael stalked towards the location of one of the towers. Suddenly the edge of its shadowy form appeared against the starry night sky. Raphael skirted its edge carefully looking for an entrance, he still had about five minuted before the patrol walked by so he need to get inside. Suddenly he fell through the opening into the well lit area. Thankfully no one was there at the moment, they were probably all up in the look out nest. Raphael stumbled about, but quickly found a stair case leading down and a tunnel that lead to the house. He also found several sub-routines that would lead him to the houses main power.

The next patrol she came to, was two men, Iris snuck up behind them and with a touch of her hand had altered their memories, and so even if they did see any of the invadin party they'd just see comrades and keep moving. Iris looked up to one of the towers, and then shook her head, she needed to quit worrying about Raphael, he knew what he was doing.

Raphael didn't want to draw attention so he just set up an explosive charge to be detonated by remote when the time felt right. He hid it well under a structural column. Raphael then began to make his way down the long tunnel. There would not be any where to hide should someone decide to come down there so Raphael drew his pistol even though it would be loud, he however liked dying less than he liked being surrounded. There was always a way out of a bad situation, death however was a one way street.
Raphael made his way to the house and got inside. He ducked in back near a large crate of some type. This was strange, it was not on the blue print his crew had gathered. Something was wrong but Raphael couldn't name it. He broke radio silence.
"brothers, something is off, full alert" That was all he said to his reserve officers. They would make the decision from there. They would probably move in another 500 yards, if not all the way in and begin to make things messy. Raphael did not have much time. He bagan to wander about the basement looking for a stair case and found on along the side of the building that was shared by the laoding facility. Raphael again spoke into the comm network.
"what are my options? I need to know your plans he spoke silently." He would be able to hear them over the ear piece, and the respirator mask hid his breathing as well as his voice.

Iris had finished with the patrol when Raphael's voice broke the silence in her ear, "What does he mean?" she muttered to herself and quickly crossed the yard. She leaned heavily against a wall and wait a few moments before slipping in as a solider left the building. She made her way down the hallways, dodging and ducking to make sure she wasn't seen. Before she also realized something was wrong.
It was too easy, much to easy on her part, in fact it was like someone wanted her to come back. That's all Iris managed to think about before she was grabbed from behind and shoved into an office.
"Well, well, Weaver welcome back, I felt your presence nearby," Iris heard a voice say and she felt sick.

Raphael had waited long enough, it was time. "at my signal I want a strategic lock down of the facility, no one in or out...no prisoners." Raphael pulled out the detonator. This was too wrong. He pressed the button and the tower lit up like the fourth of july before falling to the ground. That was the signal and the squad understood it. The bagan a methodical march towards the compound, laying down a steady stream of fire. Gravitos had taken up a position in a tree 500 yards out. He could see the entire compound from there and his rifle was his window to the world.
Raphael marked the time, Iris should have been here by now. Raphael put the pistol in his left hand and drew the chainsword, no second chances he said. HE stood and withdrew form his vantage just below the lip of the stairs. He came up firing and pressed the button to set off the second and third deotonators linked to the main and back up power. That was what the crates Raphael had been near ended up being, power transformers and generators.
There were two men directly in front of him as he came out of the stair well. Each man took a bullet to the head while Raphael scanned the room for more.

"Mercedes," Iris growled throwing up every mental block of hers stopping Mercedes from entering her mind just in time. Iris spat at him while his cold blue eyes looked her up and down.
"So, you're back, I got reports from Drache that you couldn't kill Pravus," Mercedes said smirking as Iris tried to pull herself loose, "But it seems the cards are in my favor, it seems you both came here for revenge," he whispered to Iris lifting her chin with his hand, and then he slapped her, "You're disguisting," he growled, "The best hitman I've seen in years and you can't kill him off, even when he's moonstruck over you, it's pitiful."
Iris spat the blood from her mouth and glared at Mercedes, "It's call compassion," she growled before recieving another slapto the face.

It was all dark about the house, aiding Raphael since the choke points that would slow his defense that did not exist would now not help anyone. He scurried about quickly. The sparatic fire of his heavy calibur pistol could be heard through out the house and Veneratio smilled to himself hearing it that far from the mansion. He was proud of the work he had done. The team moved in clearing a path.
Raphael holstered the pistol, it was time for a little terror war fare. He snuck around the next corner coming up on three gaurds who were standing at attention ready to strike who ever came around the corner. Raphael powered up the chain sword and whirled around, the crux hanging on the outside of his armour. their bullets glanced off of the breast plate and Raphael switched on the action of the chain blade. The screams echoed through the house, merciless.
Raphael said coldly, "you chose the wrong camp."

Mercedes looked up bored as scream echoed through the house, "You know maybe I'll play around with him when he gets here, tell a few lies, maybe make him kill you, then when he's broken down I'll kill him myself," he said.
Iris smirked a laughed a little, "You're a fool if you try that," she laughed getting another slap and a punch to the stomach, but she continued to talk, "He's one of the strongest men I know, he'll never give in to you, even if you do have me captive. That's why I love him, and why I never loved you. Because he's intelligent, strong, things you could never be."
"We'll see," Mercedes growled.

Raphael made his way towards the office where the man was supposed to be. The screams had grown more constant and closer to the office. However when he was there Raphael put the chain sword back in its holster. He pulled the bolt pistol and knife. He knew there was another entrance to the room, and that he was probably in no real threat if he barged right in. Raphael however dodged to his right and stood to the side of the huge heavy wooden doors. He called to Gravitos, "targets?"
Gravitos responded, "six." Raphael replied, "location"
Gravitos again answered "sparadic." Raphael said, " lkeave the target for me, the rest are dead before they hit the ground." Four shots were fired and on the last shot Raphael entered the roon putting the laser of his sight on the forehead of the man holding Iris while he smiled under his mask.

"You're so screwed," Iris said smirking at Mercedes and ducking her head.
"I think not," Mercedes said and suddenly used his telekenises to malfuction Raphael's gun, and grabbing Iris himself, "One move, Pravus, and I'll turn her into a vegtable."

"Do you think that will stop me coward, do you think I am so attached to this world that I would hand over my life for another, one who tried to kill me no less?" Raphael stepped forewards holstering the pistol, daring the man to make the next move. Another rife shot echoed out dropping the last man who had been holind Iris but now he was a crumpled mess on the floor. Raphael made the slightest of hand gestures, and Gravitos read it as a cease fire.
"How well do you think you know me whelpling, you hide behind hostages and gaurds, why not fight me like a man, take your honour by the throat?"

Iris's breath caught in her thoat as she heard what Rpahel said and her eyes went dark and thoughtful. Raphael had never been the type of man not to say things he didn't mean, and what he said troubled her.
"Very well," Mercedes said with such a smirk Iris knew he had something up his sleeve as he threw her into a nearby chair, "We're both gentlemen, we can fight this out as such," he continued.

Raphael had appearingly lied convincingly, the key was to believe even your own lie, that way no one else could question it. He look at the coward who so willingly accepted the duel challenge.
"well, the coward finally grows a pair. Let us see how they fare in battle."

Mercedes smiled wickedly, "as my guest I insist that you choose the weapon," he said waving a hand where many weapons were hanging up. His body looked relaxed, too relaxed from Iris's comfort. She looked at Raphael and bit her lip, afraid for him.

Raphael sheathed the knife.
"then it is fists for me. As for you I care not what tool you choose to you, for it will only prolong the inevitable"
