Chapter 3:
The Creature
Darkness. That is what the creature was seeing right now. Incapable of thought, unable to sense anything around him. Only barely aware. Slowly, a warmth began to enter it's body. Soon it could feel the hard metal surface it was on. Soon, a light humming could be made out. It was quiet at first, but kept gradually getting louder and louder. Muffled voices could be heard as the creature's hearing began to sharpen. It slowly became aware of a, at first weak but slowly strengthening, sterile metallic stench . It noticed the weak neutral taste of its saliva, mixed with the now quite strong metallic smell that surrounded him. The darkness began to glow a bright red orange as the creatures eyes began to function again.
It soon felt it's muscles start to loosen, allowing him to uncurl. It tried to open it's eyes, but as soon as it did blinding light forced it to squeeze them shut again. It tried to stand but was too weak, and just collapsed. When it's eyes finally adjusted, it looked around and saw it was in a large glass container. The container itself was in the middle of a much larger room filled with all kinds of strange devices. Everything was a sterile white, or an obsidian black. There were many figures, bipedal like himself, but much taller. They were all white, but black on their feet, shins, hands, forearms and the top of their faces, where there eyes should be. Where their mouths should have been, strange black hoses came out and were attached somewhere on their backs. The black parts of their skin were smooth and tight, while the white parts were rough and loose.
As the creature looked at these strange beings, emotion began to flow into it. It felt the emotions just prior to it's freezing, pain and betrayal, mixed with a new one, fear. Fear of these strange beings, operating the machines connected to it's glass prison. Slowly, the creature's brain began to function more and more, and all of these emotions combined into one. Rage. As it's rage began to build, more and more Chaos Energy flooded though it's body. It felt it's strength return. It stood up, raised it's gloved hands, and in one fluid motion, thrusted them down and outward, releasing a large portion of the energy in a large burst. The burst shattered the glass container, and knocked back all of the beings. An ear piercing alarm was sounded and the lights began to flash red. Without hesitation, the creature dashed forward, out of the lab and into a corridor. The creature ran down the hallway and turned a corner, where it found several beings blocking the way out. Unlike in what it wanted to call 'The Laboratory', the creature recognized these beings. Humans was the word that came to mind, but these ones were dressed for combat. The soldiers pointed their guns at the creature and told it to stop, or they'd shoot. Before they had a chance to fire, it raised it's hands in the air, erecting a large green shield in front of it. Bullets collided with the shield and helplessly fell to the ground as the sound of gunfire filled the air. When the gunfire subsided, the creature brought his arms to his sides in a circular motion and thrust them forward, blasting the shield toward the soldiers and knocked them to the ground. With the way clear, the creature kept going.
A few turns later, a large bipedal robot with a shield and a machine gun stood in it's way. Without stopping, the creature instinctively jumped, curled into a ball and generated a small shield around itself, and launched through the robot's torso, destroying it. The creature landed and continued on. It continued to run around the base trying to find the escape, meanwhile taking out all the soldiers and robots sent out after him. Up dozens of flights of stairs, and across mazes of hall ways. Try as they might to stop it, the base was designed to keep people from breaking in, not things from breaking out. Finally, the creature reached the ground level. The ground level was different from the below levels, instead of high security corridors connecting to top secret labs, it was a series of offices, connected by dry walled hallways and had a floor of cheap carpet. So close to freedom, it smashed his way though walls and cubicles. Eventually it found the a window and lept through it. As soon as it landed, the creature sped off into the nearby forest.
It was dark out. The creature narrowly avoided trees as it ran past at breakneck speeds. The farther it got from the base, the lower its threat level dropped. The creature began to slow down, until it was simply walking. It felt tired. Soon, it lied down on the ground, and went to sleep.
