Madness Bio-Haz 3

Chapter 1: The Outcome and a Possible Plan

Greed sat at his desk in the dark, his hands were clasped under his chin as he smirked at the accomplishment he had just acchieved. One of his aids was staring out the window looking rather worried. Greed sat back and threw open one of his drawers. He pulled out a cigar and lit it on the spot, sighing after taking a long drag. "Finally got that bitch. After all these days, why didn't I think of that in the first place?"

"Uhhh...because Gluttony wanted you to find a Wrath for him."

"I mean after when she went all rebel on us."

The glare he gave the aid made him back away from the window but return to it after hearing a noise. Greed slowly straightened up in his seat as he heard it too. It was silent just as quickly as they had heard it making him shoot up from his chair and rush toward the window to see what whas happening. He stuck the lit end of the cigar on his aid, pushing in before walking away with a low growl. What he has just seen said it all and he was now even more pissed that it didn't work to his standards. He walked away after snuffing the cigar out all the way and dropping it in the tray, ignoring the aid who was holding his neck with a grimace and looking at the hand every few seconds glaring at Greed as he made his way to follow him. "Why do I even bother?" The aid muttered with a shake of his head.

Lerioc shot up in her bed, gasping and laying back down slowly as the pain shot through her. "Okay...that didn't feel good..." She could see that she was in a straightjacket, a loose fit but still keeping her as still as possible. She sighed and closed her eyes. "What happened after I started fightin' that suicidal robot? I don't remember needin' a jacket."

"Let's just say that the laugh got everyone a little anxious."

She looked at the visitor in confusion. The Auditor chuckled at the look and pulled up a chair, sitting beside the bed and looking at her. "How badly was I hurt, Boss?"

"Major three degree burn all the way down your chest and stomach."

"Perfect...just what I need."

"Just relax for now, Leri. You're going nowhere with an injury like that."

She rolled her eyes and grunts as she repositoned to her side, looking at him. "Can ya at least get this offa me?"

He nods and helps her sit up, unbuckling the straightjacket and pulling it off. She laid back down and looked at her chest and belly, clenching her jaw at the sight. "Don't worry. That'll heal all the way...just a lot of peeling after a while."

She gave him a disgusted look making him laugh. "Okay...didn't need to know that!"

He stood up and made his way out the door, closing it behind him. She felt someone else in the room as she closed her eyes. "Ya can come out...Chaos." She glanced at the shadow that was slowly walking out from the corner, a regretful look on her face. "It's somethin' that had to be done, Chaos...ya know that."

"I didn't mean to make ya act like that...hell, that wasn't me that made ya laugh like that."

She nods and reaches into her pockets, eyes widening. "My knife! Where's my knife?" She sat up quickly, ignoring the pain as she patted her pockets with wide eyes. She looked at the table and saw the knife making her relax. She took it and put it back in her pocket, not caring about the dents it now had. "I'm good...I'm good. If I lost that I'd be freakin' out even more than I need to."

"This comin' from me...ya Anti's Anti...might sound crazy. What's so important about that knife?"

"One of the small things that was left over from my family. The knife was originally mine, I just kept it down in my pockets. With no family and no one to remember me when I'm possibly gone one of these days...I have to make due with it."

Chaos watched as she closed her eyes again turning to leave after a few minutes to let her get some sleep.

Hank looked up as the Auditor made his was toward the table that he was sitting at. "How's she doing in there?"

"She's awake. Sore but the usual."

"You got to admire the lizard. Some people I know wouldn't last one hour in her situtation."

He nods in agreement as a can was set in front of him, a smirk forming. "So, we need to come up with something. From what I've gathered around here we need to get to the portal. We need to make it back to our realm and quickly."

Hank leaned on his chair as he looked at the Auditor like he was crazy. "Waddya mean by that? I mean, what's to go back for?"

"Your team and my team of course. The Anti there are planning to attack anytime soon. If we don't make it back in time...you're possibly going to have to kill your friends...as I'm going to have to kill my whole base if they get possessed."

"Actually, you don't have to kill them."

They looked up as they heard the voice. Sloth was making her way toward them, pulling out the chair and sitting down as she looked between them. "Why do you say that?"

"Leri can unpossess them. She's done it before she can do it again."

"How do you know this?"

"How do I not?"

Hank sighed and stood up. "I'm going to get Leri. We need to leave a.s.a.p."

The Auditor nods and watched him walk toward the room she was in before turning back to Sloth. She looked at him as she laid her head down. "So...she can perform exorcisim on the Anti possessed?"

She nods and looked back as Candy made her way toward the table, a sucker stick hanging out of her mouth. "What's going on?"

"We're trying to get back before our teams in the human realm get possessed."

All three of them looked up quickly as Hank ran back into the room, fear shining from behind his goggles. "SHE'S GONE!"

"Waddya mean I'm gone?"

They looked in the direction of the cafeteria to see Lerioc with a two liter of soda already half gone. Hank slouched a little as the Auditor tried not to laugh. She chuckled and leaned on the table, her mask clacking loudly as it hit the table. "I can't be gone, I don't know the code for the door."

Both Candy and Sloth looked at her. "Ninja much?"

"Oh I wish. Better chance at killin' that yellowed eyed creep all the way."

She took a swig of the two liter and looked at the Auditor. "So, when are we goin'?"

"Soon. After we get a vehicle."

"Good...I was missin' the others at the base."
"Even though you get pushed under a hood of our trucks every now and then?"

'Yeah. No one turned on the engine yet so I'm fine."

He gave her a blank look, blinking twice before looking down. "Okay then. When do we get the let go?"

Sloth looked at the clock and then at him. "Two more hours. We need to update a few things along with that tail cuff. That cuff's not working out to it's full potential. She was changing when it's clearly ment to keep her from changing."

She looked up as she heard Lerioc sigh. "My anger gets the best of me, that's all that's to it."

"You need to relax a little bit more. This wouldn't happen if you'd just relax."

She nods and looks at Sloth a little closer. She knew she's seen her counterpart someplace but where was the question that was killing her.

Lerioc sat in a dark room, panting as she tried to keep from changing since her tail cuff was gone. She had her claws over her face, trembling as she felt she was slowly giving in to her Anti Form. She looked up and shook her head, this was too much for her to handle at the moment. She looked down as she felt a claw on both her arms. "Come on, Me. Ya can get through this."

"The Mode's gettin' too much from me."

"Fight it. Trust me and fight it down."

She remained silent as she felt Wrath rub her arm, her breathing starting to go back to normal. She gulped and looked up as there was a clinking sound then something hitting her foot. She looked toward her feet and saw her cuff. She grabbed it and slid it on, relaxing easier since she has relief. She stood up and walked toward the door, the black around her eyes darker than before. "Leri?"

"Hmmm?"

She turned to look at the Auditor, her ears laying back a little bit. "Are you okay? You seem...different."

"I'll be fine, Boss. This is nothin'. It's gettin' darker with age, that's all I know."

He watched as she walked away, something bothering him but he shook his head and walked in her direction. They needed to get going and soon. She stood by the new truck as she looked down at her watch. "Five more days...shit. I was hopin' for a little more time than that."

"What's in five days?"

She looked at Candy and stuffed her watch back into her pocket. "Just a stupid birthday that's gonna possibly get me killed...or worse."

She looked away then toward a piece of paper that Candy held out to her. "What's this?"

"We need to keep contact. See how everythings going, Gluttony and Greed reports. You know, the usual."

She nods and takes the number and takes a piece of paper and wrote down hers. "I'm gonna need someone to talk to besides a bunch of guys."

"I HEARD THAT!"

She chuckled and handed the number to Candy. "I'll be seein' ya around sooner or later, I know that much."

She gave Candy and Sloth a wave before hopping into the vehicle. She looked at the number as they drove off, nodding as she stuffed it into her pocket. She closed her eyes, ignoring that she was between them, as they made their way toward the portal. Her only hope was that everything was okay in the human realm.

It was among the two hours of driving that something started to seem weird. The Auditor looked in the side mirror a little worried about something. Hank stuck his head out the window, looking behind them, as he started to feel the same way. She opened an eye and looked ahead as she uncrossed her arms. "Guys...we have some unwanted visitors."

Hank stuck his head back into the truck, eyes wide as he gave her a sneer. "NO, YOU THINK!"

As he was about to say something else the truck lurched forward as something rammed against them. She gripped the dash board and glanced at both mirrors, growling as she started to crawl across Hank's lap to get to the window. She tried to keep in a snicker as she felt him tense knowing how much he wanted to slug her at the moment. She gave them a last look before pulling herself out of the window, gripping the roof as she tried to keep close to the side. "Man...why did I have to be the one with this idea?" She muttered as she made her way toward the back. She stopped short of her destination and her eyes widened as she saw the vehicle that was behind the attack. The vehicle was a truck but the design was what caught her off guard. She remembered something and shook her head, her claws sinking into the siding as she realized what she was seeing. "It's...oh gawd. PULL OVER!"

She saw Hank stick his head back out and look at her like she was crazy but soon saw why as a metal claw narrowly missed his face. Their truck slowed to a stop as the attacking truck did the same. She hurried toward the front as the Auditor gripped the steering wheel tightly. He gave her a look as she flopped down between them, pale in the face. "We're screwed...so totally screwed."

"Relax and don't show them a thing."

"Easy for ya to say when ya ain't on the Anti Bounty List."

He opened his mouth to protest but closed it quickly as he saw the dull gleam of the Anti ATP Agent's mask. The Auditor kept quiet as he looked them over. He gave the driver's door a small pat and motioned them to keep going, her eyes widening at the decision. A smirk formed on Hank's face as the Auditor started the truck back up, snickering as he drove off. "I told you."

"I wasn't relaxed."

"Either he didn't look at you or he didn't even realize we're counterparts."

"Anyway ya look at it...it seems kinda sour to me."

"Sour? How?"

"I didn't spend all that time in ya base just tryin' to fix all the broken shit around there."

He sighed and nodded, knowing that she was right. They drove in silence the rest of the trip, the thought of what she said playing over in both of their heads.
