Storm Tidus

---

Heading further into the explosion zone, Storm and his team kept searching the area but was unable to spot any mutants right away. After ten minutes they decided to break out scanners that scanned for heartbeats, and finally detected where their targets were. The problem was it showed them all right in front of the team, and they saw no one in that direction. It was too little too late when they finally spotted them, the first dropping down on top of Storm and pinning him down. Kevin and his other team mates shot the mutant off Storm so he could get up and draw his sword. There were suddenly beset by a whole dozen or so of them, the mutants far outnumbering the mercenaries. Kevin yelled for them all to run for the exit as he pulled out a plasma grenade, and Storm wasted no time in retreating.

As he neared the entrance he turned just in time to see Kevin swarmed in mutants as he pulled the pin on the grenade. As it went off the fumes in the room ignited and blasted Storm out of the door just as it closed to contain the blast automatically. Storm hit the ground hard in the main lobby but immediately stood and ran to the door, dropping his blade in the process, and starts pounding on it. "Dammit Kevin!" He sinks to the floor and sits there on his knees, out of breath and shaking from the thought of loosing his mentor. He had to call in backup from the other team, so he fumbles with his comm link and tells them about what happened. The second Amber-Cross team arrives momentarily and keeps the door secure while Storm is comforted by one of the mercenaries, the young mutt almost in tears over his encounter.
