Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

As I began to walk about the facility I heard sirens blare I covered my ears as I wasn't used to the high pitch alarms. (Calm down and focus.) That's when I began to get used to the sound but I also heard the clamoring of heavy boots coming from all directions specifically to my location. (How bothersome. I hate killing, but these HumanRags just don't give me a choice." As the boots drew closer I began to manifest Dark Matter daggers and a whip in my hand.

The guards quickly surrounded me and I began to ready myself when one of the captains radios went off saying : "This is Delta team we're getting overwhelmed by subject -1 we need reinforcements no-no please don't augh!" "It seems you all have more pressing matters than just me." That's when I heard the cries of death and saw electricity flying my way and someone in a hooded cloak and a proceielin kubuki mask appeared just on the other side of me lightning and electricity could be felt not just in the air but even far above it it reached galaxy wide.

(Just how strong is this person's connections with lightning and electricity?) The person drew a short sword and dashed forward as their kubuki eyes sparked with lightning, and I felt over thirteen hundred souls become ball lightning and they entered my helpers sword. I quickly threw one of my dark matter daggers at them missing them and incapatating in one of their legs. They finished off the guard and turned to me"..." "You're welcome." "Behind you" They quickly stabbed one of the guards in the abdomen as the other five choked and gurgled on their own blood from their slit necks.

"Thanks" "Next time be more alert." (Yup, they are going to be annoying to deal with.) "So who are you?" I asked. "Subject -1 but you can call me Kitsune. What is your name?" "Yeah,... I'm definitely not calling you that Lil' Fox. They call me Subject SR but you can call me Arctora'hm." "You will drop the Lil' Fox nickname or I will leave you here." "Hate to break it to you Lil' Fox but I was on my way to save you. You just happened to break out of your cell same time I did." "You're annoying. Also, I was already planning my escape way before you." We're not even 5 minutes in and you're already getting on my nerves. Not to mention we haven't even escaped the facility yet let alone rescued Subject 8."

"Their electrical aura is this way, follow me." Kitsune began to lead the way as I followed behind her. Guards opened fire on us from the front and behind. Kitsune drew her short sword and blocked the bullets and used the electricity in the air to break the bullets velocity causing them to drop to the floor. "Whoa, what was that?" I used my power to find the electrical currents within the very air the bullets were traveling to neturalize the ions within the air current causing them to slow until eventually they fell to the ground. (She's science smart. Kind of hot.) "Just so you know I can hear thoughts." I quickly blushed out of embarrassment. "I'm joking." "Oh right, I knew that." I chuckled out nervously and somewhat uncomfortable. "Your electrical current changed you're lying." (Can't hide shit from her, damn!) "We have a problem up ahead." "What is it?" "Subject 8 is heavily guarded and we're going to be surrounded by the enemy in 10 minutes if we don't find another way to barrel through the blockaide."

"You were trained in assaissanation right?" "Yes." "Go for the facilities electrical grid shut off the power and back up power with a delay for it to come back on. "It'll be impossible for me to knock out the entire facility electronical grid I can only muster enough power to absorb nearby sources and up to 2 floors." (Could the power I had sensed from her earlier have been a full potential if she unlocked it and harnessed it?) "Alright can you do elevators?" "Not without direct touch onto the elevators button panel. What about you?"

"I've almost reached my limit I can feel myself slowing down. I need to rest the best I can offer is a small portal big enough for you to enter but I'm not sure where it'll drop you without direct eye contact. After that my dark matter conjuring and weapon manifesting will only be good for at best 5 minutes before I collapse from exhaustion." "Just get me in and I'll handle the rest within that time frame. I'll hit the lights. Cover me." "Got it." Kitsune knelt down and began to concentrate her energy into the floor we were on and fried it's circuits.

"Open fire!" The guards opened fire on us I quickly jumped in the way and made a dark matter riot shield. The bullets were getting absorbed and finally I gestured slightly and a portal opened up sending the bullets through all the guards. "That's the ones on our six dead and gone." I dropped to my knees as we reached the hall filled with guards and a giant magnetic door just on the other side of them. "Ngh, damn it." "Arctora'hm!" "I'm fine I just overdid it back there." (Curse me for trying to show off. Wow, do I hate how self aware I am.) "This is Captain Kel we've entrapped the targets what are your orders Mr. Lycan?"

Captain Kel tapped a button on her wrist and soon we heard Mr. Lycans' voice throughout the corridor. "I must admit you two definitely gave me run for my money and your teamwork is commendable however, I'm deeply regret to inform you that this is where your little escape attempt ends. Captain Kel I hereby give you permission to..." Mr. Lycans' transmission was interrupted I looked over at Kitsune as she was breathing heavily. "Great Merciful Buddha I'm glad I was able to end that pricks stupid ass voice." "All soldiers prepare to detain and sedate the targets lethal force is a preferred if non lethal does not work." Captain Kel ordered. Her entire unit began to surround us. "Do it now Arctora'hm!" "Right!" I quickly made small Dimensional portal and Kitsune hopped in as the portal closed I saw Captain Kel follow after her. "Be careful Kitsune."

I manifested a dark matter riot shield and a whip. "Alright you HumanRags, who wants to become stardust?" Meanwhile inside the dimensional portal... (There! I sense them.) Kitsune began to make her way to the exit portal when Captain Kel tackled her out of the portal and into her destination.

As they rolled and tumbled onto the floor. Kitsune began to get up and saw a pod with the initials NA inside it was a teenager with black hair and in a white suit he had a skinny athletic build. Kitsune walked over to the console and reached for the button the release him when all of a sudden an ink blast was sent Kitsune's way and she just barely dodged as the ink landed on the far end wall. Kitsune looked over at the ink splatter and it began to engulf the wall in flames causing it to desintetgrate.

(She's a homo-elite?! Things just more complicated.) Kitsune gripped at her pendant and opened to reveal a clock. (I have exactly 3 minutes to free him and keep my promise.) Captain Kel drew her ringed staff and Kitsune her short sword. Captain Kel dashed forward and Kitsune did the same as she quickly weaved one handed hand signs.
