War On MegaCorp (Pt 6)

Ami already spotted some stairs and was running towards them. She had a taste of blood and wanted to kill a more human MegaCorp guard, someone like the ones who had been abusing her sister.

Alex kept moving towards the security room shotgun raised as he entered.

Klaire would follow, jumping down multiple steps to reach the rat-thing soldiers. Twisting her body, she popped the blades from the toes over her boots and went to town, cutting and slicing as she moved around. With her rifle, she’d shoot ones further down.

James would shoot blasts of fire at distant enemies while tackling and kicking others over railings to send them to the grand floor.

It would be a few floors before they’d run into their first human guard. He was dragging a boy who was trying to pull away. “You’re going to the lab, you little shit! They-...who the fuck are you people?!” The man yelled.

Ami ran right up to the guard, shoved her gun into the guard’s stomach and pulled the trigger. Seeing how he was dragging a kid made it easy for her to imagine him dragging her sister someplace she did not want to go.

The man yelled out in pain as he fell to the floor. Klaire was instantly upon him, pressing her boot down onto his chest. Her other boot stomped onto his arm that held a gun, forcing him to release it. “Oh, stop your screaming. We could easily set you on fire.” She snarled in anger. “Alex, check on the kid!”

The boy stared at them with wide blue eyes, his dark hair almost hiding them as he gazed at Ami in awe.

Ami mercilessly gave the guard another gutshot. If anyone thought it was unnecessary since the guy was clearly subdued by the first shot and Klaire they would be right. Ami was taking out her fear and anger at still not being able to save her sister on the guard. She kicked him.

James started forward to stop Ami, but Klaire stopped him. “Let her…she needs this.” She told him.

The man cried in pain one last time before dying.

Ami kept kicking and stomping on the guard, even after it was obvious he was dead. His blood spattered everywhere.

Klaire finally went over to Ami and pulled her close. “It’s okay, it’s okay!” She whispered into the young girl’s ear. “It’s okay…”

James went to the young boy and spoke to him calmly, soothingly, until the kid finally took his hand. “What’s your name?” He asked.

“Cody…” The boy almost whispered as he looked at Ami.

Ami sobbed, burying her face into Klaire’s shoulder as she holstered her gun.. “They put her in the breeding program, Klaire.”

“And we’re going to get her out.” Klaire promised as she glanced toward the boy. “We’ll get them all out…”

“How can she ever be okay?” Ami asked Klaire. Ami knew more than she probably should have learned about the so-called breeding program.

“She will. We’ll help her be okay.” Klaire whispered and held the girl close, gently rocking her.

“I want to kill them all.” Ami whimpered into Klaire’s shoulder, which was now a snotty, teary mess.

“We can try. Lets get this kid out of here first.” Klaire said as he phone began to beep. She grabbed it and looked down at it, seeing a text from Delilah. “I knew it.”

James glanced to Alex. “Knew what?”

Ami peered at Klaire’s phone, curious about the text.

“We finally know where Tzeitel is!” Klaire grinned real big and pulled Ami into a tight hug.

“Where is she?” Ami asked excitedly, hugging Klaire back.

Klaire would show her the text that had a map of the hot spot attached at the north pole. “There.” She said and pointed.

Ami smiled. “Let’s go!”

“Should we check to see if anyone else in here needs rescuing?” Alex asked?

James looked at Klaire, who nodded to Alex. “Check the computer. Maybe the database has something?” She inquired, gesturing to the computer by a door. “They always keeps databases of all the metas in building computers, right?”

It was easier to do that. They only numbered the ‘prisoners’, after all.

Ami went to the computers, her head hurting a little as she checked the database.

Alex went to another computer helping check things as well while raiding the database for Mark.

Klaire would stay with Ami and rubbed her back. There would be no one else in this place, shockingly. It was just starting out, it seemed. “We’ll get you some medicine for the headache in the van.” She said.

“Let's get to the underground” Alex replied.

“I want to save Tzeitel.” Ami said sleepily as she leaned against Klaire.

“Me too.” Klaire picked up Ami and carried her to the van with the others.

Cody would cling to James like a kid with his dad.

Alex took the drivers seat and got them out of there “food in the cooler if you kids are hungry.”

Ami fell asleep with her head on Klaire’s shoulder. She had worn herself out.

Cody opened the cooler to get a snack and curled up against James.

James sighed heavily and leaned on the wall of the van. “We’ve got a lot to do now. We finally know where they are.” He told Alex. “We can save them. Finally.”

“Yeah but we still got to get to the north pole first” he replied.

“Delilah can help with that.” James said as he noticed Klaire taking pictures of Ami and Cody. She was like a mother with kids and it was just adorable.
