Emich has dealt with them before during attacks on NDA camps, but this one was a more advanced and “updated” version.
Unlike the others, this one was able to keep himself from eating his fingers and walking into walls.
His boots pounded heavily on the floor, closing in on his dazed victim. The skin on the side of Emich’s head healed over as he flopped forward and rolled off of the ruined forklift, trying his best to stay on his feet. Fist up and ready for a fight, Emich waited for the giant to get close enough to throw the first punch. Taking one step, the genetically enhanced freak stopped in place. A laser sight danced along his chest, filling it with bullet holes wherever the dot touched.
Making their way up to his head, the last shot at the middle of his forehead was the one to drop him; the ash in the air blowing aside as he fell back onto the floor like a tree. Emich had no idea where the shots came from, and he didn’t want to know. Looking around and seeing nobody else in the room with them, he scurried over to the assault rifle and continued his escape, heading towards the double doors to the next area. Behind him, the laser sight fixed onto the middle of his back, its owner ready to pull the trigger. Stopping at the corner of the door to hug against it and press the button to open it, Emich glanced around, scanning the room for the previous shooter.
He couldn’t see her, but she could see him and now… she could see his face.
“Emich?”
Their voice couldn’t escape beyond the gas mask, no matter how loud they spoke. Once the doors whooshed open for him, Emich ran out of the cargo bay, the doors closing soon right after. The body of the giant gradually combusted, the flames growing and having plenty of fuel to burn through. Taking off her mask, Ashely still couldn’t believe her eyes. She felt as if she should run after him, but her comm unit had other plans.
“Ashley, come in.”
She stood there, speechless.
“Come in, Ashley Webber!”
Snapping back to reality, she turned around and put a hand to her ear piece. “Copy that, Ashley here.”
There was stray gunfire, with an ERA soldier pleading for his life before a close by gunshot stopped it.
“East wing has been cleared. Let us know if you make contact with any of our Saviors.”
Ashley closed her piercing blue eyes; a scar over the bridge of her nose. “Will do, my Seithr. Ashley out.”
Looking back at the door Emich had retreated from, she stood there for a second. Shaking her head, she put the gas mask back on and resumed her mission. Taking the other door to go towards the holding rooms for the experiments, she could already hear the screaming coming from the other side of the door. Reloading, she got her Z-140 filled and ready to resume the cleansing. Once the doors opened, she held down the trigger, keeping close to the wall and storming into the hall.
Emich found small dock with a few guards being completely oblivious to the chaos that was going on inside. One of them fell into the water, his blood clouding under him in the underground river. The other one sliding down the wall of a small checkpoint hut, leaving a trail of blood smeared against the concrete. Seeing that there was a small AVC for personal travel at the end of the dock, Emich pressed the button on it to lift the anchor, having it rock from the slight current of the water. Turning on the hovercraft and firing up its boosters, the boat lifted out of the water.
He left the facility for good… but what happened to him there would never leave his mind.
Chapter 5
“Valerie, connect me with the UAC.”
“Of course, sir.”
Sitting down in his antique leather throne in a hurry, Demeitri Kuznetsov put a hand over his lips. His personal assistant tapped away on her wrist screen, typing at a speed Demeitri couldn’t even bother to achieve. She could connect him to the UAC and get through all of its security measures in her sleep, having done it so
