The blonde haired young woman awoke with a jerk. Painting slightly, she sat up and examined her surroundings.

“... Ugh, another cell.” She muttered to no one in particular as she rubbed at her eye with her palm. Noting she still had her armor on, she took a second to assess her condition. She was pleased to see that almost every wound that had pierced her flesh had healed by now, however her armor didn’t look that great, mainly because of the dirt and blood stains. She shrugged inwardly and told her armor to deactivate and activate again, which caused her bio mechanical suit to merely let off a soft glow that effectively repealed all the dirt from her armor.

Now that she was nice and shinny, the girl stood and moved over to the bars of her cell. Looking both ways before proceeding, she kicked the cell door into the opposite wall. The resounding clatter of metal striking stone filled the hallways.

Roery scratched her nose idly and waited for the guards to come hollering.

No one came. This made Roery frown slightly. She was a bit aggravated already, and now she didn’t even have anyone to beat her frustration into.

Other then her cell, the stone hallway was completely empty. The walls merely stretched on in either direction for a few hundred feet before stopping at a perpendicular hallway. The female clone sighed and rubbed her head. Who sends an army of skeletons to hunt down a single girl, only to let her roam free within the dungeon?

Sighing again, the armored girl jogged down the corridor to her left. She then took a right before coming to another fork, at which she took another left. A few turns latter and she came to a dead end. Pursing her lips in annoyance, she blonde turned and ran down another series of turns before hitting yet another dead end.

... It’s a maze... They captured me and stuck me in a maze... she quickly turned and sprinted down another sequence of turns. Upon reaching the next dead end, the ticked off girl fired off her thrusters and collided feet first with the wall, nearly busting it completely. Springing backwards, she snapped both guns into her hands and shoot off a few plasma disks. The stone wall crumbled and a light shown through the settling dust. Slightly less infuriated, the young woman dashed through the rubble into the next enclosure.

Arching an eyebrow, Roery strolled to where the floor ended. The plane room was about the size of a house, with a ten-foot wide hole stretching from wall to wall in the center that appeared to be bottomless. There was no light source to be seen, yet it remained a well lit room.

“Uh... huh...” finding nothing of interest at all, Roery hopped over the gap and jogged to the exit on the far wall. The same, dimly lit, dull, stone wall stretched on before her. After reaching the next dead end, her inkling that she wasn’t actually out of the maze yet was confirmed. This time she punched the wall until it gave away. And such was the fate of every dead she came across.
