Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
A poorly designed hospital bed was pushed into a room, a male's legs and arms was bound down to it with the restraints connected to the bars. He was strapped down to keep him from moving, though he wouldn't have anyway, his mind was hazy, and his vision kept fading in and out. His chest was bare which allowed several scars, burns and bruises to be revealed. His feet were bare as well, the bottom of his pant legs were torn and dirty.
He stared at the light that was above him on the ceiling as he tried to remember who he was or where he was for that matter. Two heads peered over him as he gave a slow blink, one was someone the male had seen before the other he didn't know, or thought he didn't know. He did look familiar in a way but he just couldn't remember.
The one he recognized was dressed in doctor's scrubs that were stained with blood. He had a mask on his face and a pair of white rubber gloves on his hands. His hair was gray and pulled back in a tie, glasses were set before his eyes to help him see. He hated this man, he knew he did, but he couldn't express his anger, whether it was from the lack of strength or he just didn't know how. He felt lost.
The other had long black hair; his attire was all black, all the way from his feet up to his chest. His piercing yellow eyes were unnatural and not something an average human had. But then again where he was wasn't exactly normal either. This place wasn't a normal facility, he knew that much, there were others here, but he didn't know where.
"How's our subject doing?"
"Very well, he's a lot stronger and a more capable test subject than those children are."
"Perfect. Inject him with serum number nine." The man with the black hair scratched his chin and looked at the male in the bed. "Study his reactions and report back to me with the results."
"Yes sir."
"And Kabuto, don't let him escape this time."
"No worries Orochimaru, he's been through so many tests, including chemical and non-chemical, as in gun test, knives etc. The psychiatric damage done to him, is most likely severe, he won't be going anywhere. He hasn't so far. I made that mistake months ago, it won't happen again." Kabuto assured his boss.
"Good, we can't have him escaping and alerting whatever organization he came from, of our little experiments." Orochimaru chuckled and walked out of the room, but not before he added. "Initiate the test. You know where I will be."
Kabuto gave a silent 'yes sir' as he grabbed a needle filled with a red liquid off of a metal lab table against the wall. He walked to the man on the bed and stood above him again. It looked like he smirked underneath the mask that was on his face but Sasuke wasn't too sure on that.
"Well Sasuke, let's see if you can survive this one."
'Sasuke. That's my name?'
Kabuto left no room for error as he plunged the needle into Sasuke's side, whose face immediately scrunched up from the pain. He already felt the injected liquid moving throughout his body. All he could do was force back his yells as he felt pain burning within him.
Solo Mission
4 Months Ago
"Negative Kakashi. There aren't any army personnel in their area." A raven-haired male said as he was crouched down in a tall bush. He pressed the button on the communicator in his ear which allowed him to speak with his teammates.
"Ok Sasuke, but we're not there with you so we can't give you any cover." The man named Kakashi said as he leaned back in his chair, before lifting the radio to his lips again. "Don't take any chances that aren't necessary."
Kakashi was the team leader and commanding officer. He wore a pair of black pants and a dark gray shirt, black combat boots were what he wore, with his pants tucked into the boots. He had to set an example for his team, even if one didn't follow the standard uniform procedure. The last detail that stuck out the most was the black mask he wore over the lower part of his face.
"Yeah I know."
"Are you sure you can handle this, I mean this is your first solo mission in how long?"
"Three years."
"Just be careful Sasuke."
"I will, the director said I was one of the best at stealth so maybe I have a chance you know. I still think they should have sent me earlier with Kiba, maybe he wouldn't have gotten killed."
"Don't dwell on the past Sasuke."
"Yeah sorry."
"I've got Shikamaru on the computer here. He's got you on live video feed using the satellite we have orbiting earth. Neji is going through the blueprints we found of your targeted building. He's finding any spots and hideaways that will give you an advantage."
Shikamaru was sort of a genius, okay maybe he was a real genius, but he was the lazy type unless ordered by his commanding officer. His clothes were a simple dark green polo shirt, with black jeans and black combat boots, he didn't have them tucked in since he complained it was too troublesome. Neji, wore a tan shirt with black jeans and combat boots. He actually had his pants tucked into them, unlike his teammate.
Kakashi smiled and added. "I've also got Sakura here for moral support."
"Great." Sasuke muttered sarcastically.
"Sasuke shut up."
"You know I'm kidding Sakura."
"I know, I'm just worried about you that's all." The pink- haired girl, known as Sakura, stated as a sad look adorned her face.
Her clothes consisted of a dark pink shirt with black jeans and black boots. They weren't combat boots like Sasuke wore, just a normal pair that could be bought at any store around the country.
"I know Sak." Sasuke replied, using the nickname he gave her when they started dating.
"Naruto's here too, same with Ino, Hinata and Tenten."
"Let me guess moral support?"
"You got it teme." Naruto the blond haired male said to his best friend over the radio, which he snatched from his commanding officer.
The male wore a black shirt and camouflage pants with his black combat boots. His pants, like Sasuke's, were tucked into the boots, standard uniform style. Ino wore a simple purple shirt and black pants, she had black flip-flops on to match her pants, that was her, she always had to match. Her hair was tied up by a purple hair tie, a hairstyle the lazy genius had grown fond of.
The girl named Tenten wore a light pink shirt along with blue jeans, she didn't care what she wore, which was why she was wearing black shoes, not really matching but hey, black is supposed to go with anything right? Hinata, like to match a little, so she had on a pair of blue jeans with a black-sleeveless shirt, black flip-flops were on her feet, they matched her shirt so she was fine with it.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and stared at the building before him. He stopped talking which worried his team. Even if they had him on live video, something caused him to stop, and that something had them curious.
"We've got movement, someone just pulled up to the front of the building."
Shikamaru typed on his computer and made the satellite move and aimed it towards the doors. They spotted a man with long black hair as he stepped out of a solid black car. He made his way inside as he was followed in by two bodyguards, one buff bodyguard, the other looked like he specialized in weapons, so Sasuke figured that he was the one that would take out the enemy if needed.
"I'm moving out." Sasuke told them over the device.
"Ok, take your time Sasuke."
"Yes sir." Sasuke stated as he inched out of the bush and held his sniper rifle in his hand, he was crouched down so he wouldn't be spotted by anyone that may have been wondering around.
He stopped and leaned against the back of the car and looked around. He had to take extra precautions in situations like these, he didn't want to make a mistake at the beginning of the mission like he did before.
The clothes he wore were a long sleeve black shirt that had a bullet vest wrapped around his torso underneath it. Black gloves were on his hand so if his palms got sweaty he wouldn't drop his weapon. He also had on black pants and black combat boots that had the pant legs tucked into them. A belt was wrapped securely around his waist that had small pouches connected to it, his bullets were set inside them. A pistol was tucked into a gun holster on his right side, and another gun on his left, but it was a tranquilizer instead of a pistol.
Peering to the side he saw it was clear and ran quickly to the door. Kneeling down he opened it to peek into the building before fully opening it and stepping inside. Once he was in he hid himself along the wall. The inside was clean, and was all silent, way too silent for his liking. No place like this should have been as quiet as it was. There weren't even the sound of any footsteps.
'Are there even any guards here?'
"He's in." Shikamaru said as he saw Sasuke vanish from the satellite's sight.
"Guys there are cameras in here." Sasuke said to them as he looked up and spotted a camera facing away from him.
"Shikamaru can you hack into them and shut down their video feed? But give us the feed instead, we can use the cameras to tell him of any guards that may be wondering around."
Shikamaru nodded and typed away on his computer. He used the satellite to their advantage and disabled the cameras on their end. A video screen popped up on his and he received the camera footage instead of the men in the thing the had Shikamaru on their side, who knows what they would do without him.
"All clear, their cameras are down. We have control of them."
"Ok." Sasuke stepped out in front of the camera and gave a signal with his hand. "Can you see me?"
"Yes. Now go and head straight, you'll turn right at the corner up ahead." Neji gave the information as he looked at the blueprints in front of him.
Sasuke crouched low and walked forward, he leaned his back against the wall when he neared the corner. He peered around it but immediately pulled back when he saw a guard.
"Did I mention to look out for the guard?"
"No, I'm afraid you forgot that little detail." Sasuke growled quietly into the device in his ear.
Sorry." Shikamaru muttered.
"Ok Sasuke, when he walks towards the hallway passed you use your tranquilizer and knock the guard out. Make sure you hide him, or sit him in a position that made him look like he just fell asleep. Then I want you to sneak to the elevator and head to the top floor. But you'll need to be quick, I don't know how long until another guard shows up." Kakashi gave him the orders which he knew Sasuke would follow without hesitation.
"Got it."
Sasuke let his rifle drop from his hands, the strap keeping it attached to him. He reached to his left to pull out the tranquilizer gun. He loaded it and leaned against the wall. When the guard had his back turned, Sasuke stepped out and knelt down before raising the gun and shooting the guard in the neck. The guard grabbed his neck but ended up collapsing to the floor, his weapon sliding away from him.
Putting the gun away, he walked forward and dragged the guard up off the floor. Along with the weapon that he had dropped.
'Now where do I hide him?' He asked himself.
Spotting a storage room, he decided it was the best thing. He pulled the guard and pushed the door open and set the man inside by leaning him against the wall. Hopefully no one would find him in here. He set the mans weapon on top of the shelf inside the room after removing the bullets and taking those with him, just in case the guard woke up and found the gun.
'Can't let him have any ammo.'
He left the room and ran to the elevator and quickly pushed the button. He leaned into the elevator door until they opened and he backed into it, making sure he wouldn't get caught by any guards that may be passing on this floor. He hit the button for the top floor as he loaded the tranquilizer again.
"I'm heading up the elevator."
"Good work Sasuke. Now when you get to the top floor, they have a guard outside the elevator door so get your tranquilizer ready again."
"Alright."
Once he reached the top floor, the doors opened and Sasuke immediately held up the gun. The guard turned to him as his eyes widened as he turned around when the doors opened.
"What the-?" The guard had no chance to finish what he was saying when he was shot in the neck like his comrade before him.
Sasuke walked forward and checked over the man to make sure he was completely out.
A guard looked through the computers in a room which looked like a control room. He saw that the camera's video footage was blank, so he decided he would fix that problem. He was one of their best computer guys in the building so he could figure out what was up with the cameras with ease.
"The cameras are offline. Who the hell did that?"
He went onto the computer and entered the pass code. He accessed the cameras and hacked around to get them back up. When the cameras were back and running, he spotted a raven-haired male dragging one of the guards into a room. His eyes widened. And called over his radio for back up and to warn the others.
"Oh no."
"Shikamaru what is it?"
"Somebody else is accessing the cameras. They have their video feed back."
"Shit. Sasuke get the hell out of there."
Sasuke didn't have time to respond when an alarm began sounding through the entire building, he had looked around to find somewhere he could hide. A voice over the intercom spoke loudly.
"Attention. All security officers head to the top floor. We have an intruder. Capture him take any action that is needed."
"Sasuke move. Get out of there now!"
The male took off running when he heard the elevator start to move. Someone was coming up. He turned the corner only to be met with three guys; they held up their guns and began shooting at him. He dodged them as best he could and ducked into a room that looked like an office. He armed himself with the pistol, deciding the sniper rifle would take too long to get a descent hit.
The door to the office burst open and several men in camouflage uniforms came rushing in. Sasuke hid himself behind a desk as he took a deep inhale of breath, he moved into sight and shot the men one by one, a few bullets grazed his shoulder but nothing too serious. He moved back into his hiding position as he loaded his gun and ran for the door.
Once he looked out, it was clear so he took off running, carefully trying not to gain attention to himself, but with the cameras that was more than impossible. He stopped near a corner and peered around it, there was a guard there. They were all on to him now, there would be more coming if he didn't just run through and kill him.
"Shit." Sasuke silently cursed.
"Sasuke, come in are you alright?"
"Yeah, for now."
"We lost the video feed from the building, we can't see you, Shikamaru is trying to get it back." Kakashi stated through the radio.
Sasuke was about to retort when he heard gun fire, he turned and spotted more guards coming his way. He took the chance and ran around the corner and shot the guard that was there. He headed to the elevator only to be followed by more guards than he would have wanted. The elevator door was open as Sasuke dived into it, but not before he felt a bullet pass through his shoulder from the back and one that pierced his right leg.
He clenched his eyes shut as he grabbed onto his shoulder, but couldn't exactly reach the bullet wound. He was seated against the wall of the machine as his blood stained it, he clutched his leg since grabbing for his shoulder wasn't doing any good. Kakashi's voice came back through his communicator, trying desperately to reach his team member, but received no answer.
"Sasuke, what's going on?" Sakura took the liberty of asking as she took the radio from the older man.
"I've been shot." Sasuke groaned out.
"How many times?"
"Twice."
"Where at?"
"The back of my shoulder and my leg."
"Damn it." Sakura turned to Kakashi. "That's going to slow him down. Especially the one in his leg."
Kakashi gave a frustrated sigh and turned to Shikamaru. The pineapple haired boy glanced at him and nodded. They had their video feed back, Kakashi asked him to get the camera in the elevator and he only gave another nod of understanding. Once he was able to hack into that, they saw Sasuke sitting on the elevator floor. His blood was already over his pants and on his hands and fingers.
"We have to get him out of there."
"But how?"
"Send in reinforcements."
"I'm going." Naruto stated as he stood before Kakashi, looking more professional and serious than he ever looked before.
"Alright Naruto. Neji go with him, also go get Gaara and Shino. Neji you'll have to take the controls of the helicopter." Kakashi ordered out.
"Yes sir." Neji nodded and stood from his seat as him and Naruto ran out the door.
Sasuke forced himself to stand and used his hand to support himself against the wall. He was heading to the ground floor, he had to get out of here and he had to get out fast. There was no telling what these guys were capable of, and with him being injured he wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight if he needed to. There shouldn't be any guards on the bottom floor, they were all up top.
'They would have to take the stairs, they couldn't catch up that fast.'
The mechanical machine stopped, and the doors opened, when he looked up a gun was pointed at him, his assumption was wrong. The guard smirked as he shot the gun and a dart went into Sasuke's neck. He was hit with a tranquilizer, he felt his body go weak as his sight blurred. He collapsed against the wall clutching his neck as the guard walked over to him and hit the button to take him back up to the top floor where their boss was waiting.
Sasuke blinked once before his eyes fully closed sending his mind into darkness. Shikamaru's eyes widened at what he saw, he immediately turned to Kakashi who was also watching the screen. Their teammate had just been captured.
"Damn it." Kakashi cursed as he turned to Sakura, whose eyes were wide.
She couldn't help but let tears fall down her face at what happened with her boyfriend. Her three friends that were in the room tried to comfort her in any way they could. This has never happened to anyone on Kakashi's team before, they have never been captured.
"We'll get him back Sakura," Ino comforted her, "Naruto will make sure of it."
Shikamaru suddenly lost the video feed again, he tried to get it back several times, but nothing came up on the screen.
"Kakashi, we lost the video, they destroyed those cameras."
"They must have known we were watching. Shit."
It took about twenty minutes for the team to arrive to the building where Sasuke was captured. The helicopter landed smoothly thanks to a professional pilot. The car that had been in the front was gone, but they really didn't think anything of it. They headed inside with raised guns, only to see no one there. Naruto went up the elevator to check on the top floor but ended up with nothing.
He left to go check the other floors, while Gaara and Shino were checking basements and storage rooms. Neji went up a flight of stairs that had a door, he opened it only to be met with a blond-haired male. Neji raised his gun before calming and giving an angry glare.
"Damn it Naruto, I almost shot you."
"But you didn't."
Neji rolled his eyes as he heard Gaara's voice come over his communicator.
"Neji, there isn't anyone here."
"I know Gaara.
"Oh fuck. Guys get out now."
"What's going on?"
"This place is going to blow."
"What?!"
"There's a bomb in here!"
"Move out now!!" Neji yelled as they all made a break for the front entrance.
They barely made it out when the building suddenly exploded behind them causing them to dive to the ground and shield their heads with their arms. They stood up to see the building in a blaze and falling apart. Neji pressed the button on his communication device to talk to Kakashi.
"Mission failed."
"What happened?"
"There was a bomb, and it just destroyed the building. There wasn't anyone in there when we arrived, it was empty."
"That isn't good. Wherever they went, I believe they must have taken Sasuke with them."
Kakashi turned to look at Sakura and bit his lip from underneath the mask he always kept over his face. He walked over to her and placed a and hand on her shoulder.
"Sakura, would please go talk to Sasuke's parents and inform the of what happened."
"Sure," She said quietly and looked up at him, "Just please find."
"We will."
"You girls go with her and make sure she gets home."
The other three nodded with understanding and led Sakura out of the room.
"This is bad. What the hell are we going to do Shikamaru?"
"I don't know, they could be anywhere by now."
"I shouldn't have let him go alone, I knew I shouldn't have."
"It's not your fault Kakashi."
"Yes it is, I'm going to fix this no matter what."
Sasuke eyebrows furrowed as he opened his eyes to reveal his onyx orbs. He looked around only to find himself sitting on the seat of a plane. His hands were cuffed down to the arms rest, preventing him from moving. Glancing towards the front he spotted a few guards holding their weapons up to their chest, their fingers were already on the trigger just in case something happened.
He couldn't move from his position so what would he be able to do. He noticed all of his weapons were gone, and they had removed the belt he had along with the communicator he had in his ear. He felt so vulnerable at the moment, he had nothing to protect himself with, nor could he radio in for help from his teammates.
In the cockpit of the plane there stood two men, they needed some privacy to talk, one was the man from before, the one with the long black hair. Next to him was a personal body guard dressed in a camouflage uniform like the other guards were.
"What do we do with him sir?"
"Once we land back at our main facility, I want you to interrogate him, found out who he's working for."
"Then what?"
"Take him to Kabuto for phase one. He's a perfect specimen."
"Understood."
The male smiled, not an innocent smile, but one that said he had plans for the male that they had captured. He always had plans, and this time around he had even bigger ones.
Sasuke had a bad feeling about all of this, something inside him just told him wherever they were taking him wasn't good. Who were these guys anyway, he was only assigned the mission because they thought it was all part of a terrorist plot, but now, he wasn't so sure. If they were terrorists, they would have already killed him, but here he was, alive.
He closed his eyes, the pain from the wounds he received still burned but he really didn't notice it since he was trying to figure out where the hell he was going. Something was at play here and it wasn't a terrorist plot, but rather something more.
The window next to him was visible, he stared outside as he saw the plane getting closer to the ground. They were landing, but the question was where were they landing. Sasuke felt the slight bumps that occurred when the plan touched the ground and slowed steadily to a stop. It was all clear for the passengers to move, and the two guards came over to Sasuke and unclasped his handcuffs. They pulled his arms back and cuffed him from behind to keep him from fighting back.
They led him out of the plane and down the stairs that were pulled up tot he door of the huge machine. Sasuke struggled to get loose but found his leg was preventing him from escaping their grasp. He tried to kick the guard with his other leg but it futile, he breathed out angrily with frustration. He was pulled over to a set of two cars, he was thrown into one with a guard on either side of him.
'Who's getting in the other one?' He thought suspiciously to himself. 'What the hell is going on?'
The car started and the driver shifted into gear and began driving down the runway of the airport they were at. They exited a gate and drove left down a secluded road. It was a long and twisted road that stretched out for miles, Sasuke didn't even know how long they had been driving when they suddenly came upon a gate that opened upon their arrival.
When they drove in, Sasuke caught a glimpse of the rusted sign outside the gate, what it said made him question who these guys really were.
Psychiatric Asylum
'Where am I? Sasuke thought in his mind, "Where are they taking me?"
Sasuke calmed himself and force himself to think, there had to be something he could do. Or some way to contact his team. He glanced around worriedly as they came to a stop outside the entrance of the huge building. Sasuke noticed it was run-down and completely abandoned except for the guys that were stationed here.
'Who exactly are these guys?'
So many questions ran through his mind, but he knew they wouldn't get answered. This place seemed almost like a graveyard. It was desolate and empty, ragged and even filthy, the grass outside was dead and weeds took their place, but those were quickly dying as well. What kind of place were they running here?
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover
A/N So here's a new story. I wanted to try something a little different. So what do you think? I will be updating Let Me In and One Night this week.
