Steel Waste Chapter 306

Once he deactivates VATS, Afton quickly ducks out of the doorway, barely avoiding the laser barrage shot into the tunnel he'd just exited from. Of course, it was only at this moment that the Robo-Scorpions detected him through his invisibility. Afon was already on the move though.
He'd retrieved his Inversal axe and a Proton axe, dual-wielding them as he began tearing through the Robo-Scorpions around the room.
[John Wick Style is in effect]
The Robo-Scorpions stood no chance, with their sensors not being able to keep up with the invisible enemy, and Afton himself making an effort to stray in between the Scorpions to force friendly fire should they attempt to shoot him. The number of scorpions was rapidly dwindling.
His weapons easily cut through the robot's chassis, each strike causing an additional EMP effect to occur and scramble their electronics. Courtesy of the Proto axes special ability.
Afton quickly cleared the robots in the room, only taking grazing shots from their lasers, however, more continued to come in through the door, causing him to wonder just how many Mobius had to deploy.
Shaking his head, he cut his way to the door and slammed his fist into the control panel, accidentally shattering it and causing to door the slam shut with a large *THUNK!*.
"Well, that'll do it... For now." he mutters, knowing that the Robo-Scorpions would breach through the door fairly quickly. He turned towards the test control terminal and quickly went through it, selecting the advanced test where he'd supposedly receive the Sonic Emitter upgrade.
He selects the advanced test and waits while the test chambers move around, the irritating grinding sound being interrupted halfway as the door to the lab explodes, smoke wafting through and concealing the many Robo-Scorpions who were advancing towards him.

Afton fires at them for couple of seconds before entering the test as the rooms stop moving. Frowning as he finds himself back in the same school area the first test had been in... The only exception is that every path was blocked by forcefields.
He knew he didn't have much time before more Robo-Scorpions would be on his ass again, so he quickly looked around for an exit, or anything that may help him... In the corner, he spotted a terminal, and once he accessed it, he was greeted with just what he needed.
[Sonic Emiter Data]
Upon selecting it, he was given an option to download the Sonic Emitter EM Pulsewave module. He hooked the Sonic Emitter up to it and began the download, of course, not everything was going to go his way.
*BOOOM!*
Halfway through the download, the doors to the test chamber were blown away again, Robo-Scorpions firing at where he's currently standing despite still being invisible. Afton isn't even able to move out of the way due to the terminal sitting behind him... No, instead he's forced to take the laser fire head-on...
Using his Proton axes, he attempts to intercept the lasers with [SuperHot Block] only to find that attempt to deflect lasers was much, much harder than bullets. The reason for this is obvious, lasers fire at the speed of light, and bullets don't.
[Grit is in effect]
Afton gets shot a couple times in the chest, but the plating of the Stealth suit mitigates most of the damage... Still, it's incredibly painful. Again, Afton attempts to deflect some laser fire, only this time blocking based on where their tails were pointing.
This allows him to block around 40% of the lasers shot at him, not incredible, but enough to stop him slowly being vaporized by the Robo-Scorpions combined fire. Fortunately, a large, stupid, Robo-Scorpion gets into melee range while trying to cut him to pieces with its pincer.

Afton cuts its pincers off and picks it up, using the Robo-Scorpions body as a makeshift shield. This didn't last long, however, as the chassis of his shield quickly began falling apart, red hot pieces of metal dropping to the floor as more and more laser fire impacted it.
Afton could hear a faint humming coming from it as he held it, quickly realising that this was probably its internal reactor going out of control. Not having much other choice, he tosses the robot towards its allies, shielding his face as it explodes in the midst of them. And a loud siren goes off all around the facility due to the test chamber being breached.
Bits and pieces of shrapnel struck him in his arms, chest, and legs, but he'd luckily managed to block any from reaching the terminal behind him. Just in time too, as the download appeared to have finally completed.
After checking that no Robo-Scorpions had survived the explosion, he quickly disconnects the Sonic Emitter and heads for the exit, deciding that there wouldn't be much point for him to go through it again.
Of course, there were more Robo-Scorpions outside the test room, and his invisibility didn't work all that well with pieces of shrapnel visibly sticking from his bleeding wounds, all of which were not covered by his Stealthboy...
"GIVE UP! Or my Robo-Scorpions will tear you apart with their pinching pincers!" Mobius shouts as Afton charges through the groups, making his way to the first floor and then out of the front entrance.
[Solar Powered is in effect]
After exiting the building, Afton feels the sunlight on his face strengthening him, this, combined with [Grit] and [John Wick Style] boosted his stats to rediculous degrees. It was good timing too, as he was currently surrounded by Robo-Scorpions...
He quickly activated VATS in an attempt to find an escape route, but found nothing so convenient... No, instead he looked up to the roof of the X-8 facility, realising that if he could climb up in one piece, he may be able to escape Mobius army.
While he was looking around, however, he noticed some sort of entrance opening up on the side of the facility... He had no idea why that as happening, or what function it served, but perhaps he could escape through there?
