I was thinking that Mitsuko's device needs a name, and so does Laster's robotic arm. It'll sound cooler; it'll be easier if they all had names. I'll be calling Laster's arm 'Zeruel' meaning 'Arm of God', Mitsuko's device will be called 'T-Vice', the T standing for Tohomiko. Anyways, read on faithful readers!
They finally emerged on the ground floor after they came out of the elevator; the three youngsters climbed the stairs to get there. Laster knew that they would not be able to walk through unnoticed so easily, a similar thought was in the minds of Mitsuko and Buck too.
"We're behind the scanners anyway, those machines scan people to see if their members of the company. We'll be able to sneak past the guards when they're not looking, across the hallway there should be a working elevator," Laster whispered, gaining this information by hacking the internet with his mind.
The guards wore black business suits; they all had short black hair and dark shades. They each carried walkie-talkies, there were probably guns concealed in their jackets. Laster and Mitsuko were ahead, Buck followed behind. The guards ignored them, believing that they were the children of one of the employees. Mitsuko and her friends managed to find the elevator; they took it to the highest floor that it went to.
"This elevator doesn't go all the way to the top few floors, those floors must be where they keep the top secret stuff," whispered Laster.
"They might have some sort of jet up there too, they'll be using it to get to Omi," added Mitsuko.
With a ding, the doors opened and let them enter floor 41. This floor was just a lonely café, it was closed. There were a lot of windows that gave people a good view of the city bellow; it looked like the place had recently been cleaned.
"Looks like there's no way to the top floors," Buck said, walking out of the elevator with his comrades.
Laster tried hacking with his brain, but the systems prevented him from doing so. Mitsuko looked around the room, seeing if she could find a secret entrance. Buck sighed loudly; he thought that there would be no way to stop the evil company from getting to Omi.
"Wait, look at this," whispered Mitsuko.
They all crowded around her, she had found the outline of a hidden door just beside a vending machine. The door could not be opened; they had to think of a way to get through.
"Mitsuko, maybe you can use your nano bots to open the door," said Laster.
"Go on, give it a try!" Buck added.
With a press of a button on her T-Vice, a small silver cloud was summoned. The microscopic machines that made up the cloud seeped into the minute cracks of the secret door. With a silent click, the doors opened and revealed a dark staircase inside.
"Good, let's go!" Mitsuko said.
At the top of the staircase was a dark room, lit only by the blue glow of the computer monitors. There were a few glass tanks, large enough to fit a human inside. Laster looked at one of the tanks, inside was a foetus of a human. It was wired to the bottom of the tank with an artificial umbilical cord; he noticed that the imperfect creature had metallic components inside its semi transparent body.
"I bet they're growing more of those monsters…" whispered Laster, seeing that the other tanks had similar organisms growing inside.
Buck turned on the lights, taking Laster and Mitsuko by surprise. The whole room was illuminated now, revealing the room's true size. There were hundreds and hundreds of tanks with embryos inside, in the centre of the massive room was a larger tank that was covered with frost.
"Hey, that looks different…" Buck said.
"Buck! Don't do something stupid like that again, we could've been caught!" hissed Mitsuko.
Laster approached the biggest tank; inside he saw the silhouette of a man. The being was naked and muscular; the man had long black hair as well. The frozen glass made it hard for Laster to see the other features of the man, but the cyborg teenager knew who the man was.
"Chase Young…" he gasped.
Mitsuko looked at the tank as well, she knew about the evil warrior. She knew that he was very powerful; he had successfully bought Omi to the dark side.
"Is he dead?" asked the daughter of Kimiko.
Laster looked closely; he noticed that the warrior's chest was moving. He was breathing still, he realized what the warrior was doing their.
"Come round this side," said Jack's son, moving around to the back of the tank.
Mitsuko gasped as she saw the warrior's back, Chase's backbone was exposed.
"What the…" she spluttered.
"They must be using him for DNA, now all they need is Omi's DNA and they'll have an unstoppable army," Laster explained.
Buck walked towards the far end of the room; there was another entrance to yet another set of stairs.
"We need to get to the top, we'll be able to catch them if we hurry," he said.
His two comrades followed, they took the next set of stairs. As they reached the next floor, Mitsuko gasped. The members of Guireco were standing there, being lead by a scientist in a white coat.
The scientist was a middle aged man with a heavy brow ridge; his hear was a startling white. His thick framed glasses allowed his small blue eyes to see, he carried a cane with a silver handle. Behind him were about ten men, three of which caught Mitsuko and her friend's attention.
The first interesting character had white hair too, but this man had a long ponytail. His features were a lot like the scientist's, he wore no glasses. The suit he wore was a generic black business suit; they noticed that he carried a katana.
Secondly, the man to his right was a tall and muscular character. He had short blonde hair and shades; on his hands he wore black fingerless gloves. The three youths couldn't help noticing that this man carried a machine gun; he also wore combat boots instead of shoes.
Finally, the third man wore the clothes of a ninja. He was fairly short compared to the other men, but he looked the most dangerous. Instead of carrying one katana, he carried two.
The eleven people left the room; the three teenagers now had the chance to sneak into the room. This room was similar to the last one, only one massive tank occupied it. The liquid inside resembled urine, this fluid was possibly nutrient rich so it could feed the large creature inside. They could just make out the silhouette of a six legged monstrosity inside; Mitsuko didn't want to have a look at it.
"Beauty, isn't she?" chuckled a voice.
Laster saw who was talking, it was the ninja. This man had stayed behind, probably to guard the room.
"Who are you? What the heck is this thing?" Laster questioned the man.
The ninja leapt down so he was standing in front of Mitsuko and her two friends, he kept one of his hands on the hilt of one of his swords.
"My name is Melvin; this creature is a Bio Tank prototype. The sad part is this creature is a failed experiment. The good part is that it was kept here to stop you from preventing us from getting to Omi; we knew that Spicer and his associates would be here soon enough to try and foil our plans!" explained the ninja.
With the blink of an eye, he ran over to the console beside the tank. Melvin pressed a button, with a rumble; the creature within the tank began to stir.
"Bastard…" growled Laster.
Melvin disappeared, leaving the three youngsters behind to do battle with the Bio Tank.
