Rockman ZW
Chapter 7: Phase Two of Tyson's Plan

As Alister franticly looks for a way out of his death, he cannot. The walls and ceiling begin to shake even more, as he rapidly punches the wall.

"Model ZW! Can I Zero Fade out of here?" Alister panics.

"The walls are coated with small amounts of radiation. Even if you were to get out, you would die from the poison." speaks Model ZW. He hangs his head in defeat. The walls have stopped moving all of a sudden, as Alister gets hope once again. He can hear something on the other side of the wall in front of him.

"Shockwave!!" shouts a voice from behind. Alister knows to move back to avoid getting hit. As soon as he defends, a massive shockwave cuts through the wall in front of him. Before him walks in Sonic Tiger, as his claws stop glowing.

"You still alive Alister? Or should I call you Black Rockman now my friend?" Tiger asks as he helps him up.

"I was hoping you would get my message. I'm glad you showed up when you did, or I wouldn't be standing right now." says Alister as he dusts himself off.

"Where is your friend being held at?" questions Sonic Tiger.

"He wouldn't say. But I do know that there are creeps with her, and I have to save her!" says Alister as he leaves the room. Sonic Tiger follows.

"Where are we heading to?" he asks while running along side him.

"We? If you're not careful, your cover will be blown." states Alister.

"An attempt on your life, is an attempt on mine as well. I'm going with you." replies Tiger. Alister nods.

"I have an idea on where they took her, but it requires us heading into the rich part of the city. Are you ready to act fast?" Alister asks as they exit the building they were in.

Not too far from the rich part. They travel along the rooftops, as if they were training together again. They arrive at the large wall cutting the two sides off from each other. Alister and Tiger both wall jump to the top of the wall, then slide down the other side. They stick to the shadows to avoid alarm.

"I have a feeling she's being held inside of Tyson's building somewhere. If I can access their security cameras, I can find out if she's there or not!" Alister says as he looks towards Sonic Tiger.

"One distraction coming up." he replies while his claws begin to glow.

He rushes out into the street and begins to roar in front of the building. The people scream as he heads towards the Steller building. The security guards all exit the building, attempting to take Sonic Tiger out. Alister sneaks in as the guards pile onto Tiger. He looks around to see that everyone has hidden from the lone Maverick.

He walks to the security guards main desk, and looks at the video screens. While pressing the rewind button on all video screens, he chuckles at Sonic Tiger having some fun outside. While rewinding the videos, he finds that two men dressed up as cleaners are walking towards the elevator. They go inside, and the doors close. He watches the other screens as they appear on the basement floor.

A likely place for two hired helpers to take their victim. They walk down stairs that are hidden behind a bookcase. Alister knows where he must go now. He takes notice that one of the cameras is missing, as a single video screen is blank.

Curious about that one screen, he presses the record button for that one screen, and leaves it. He signals for Sonic Tiger to follow him after losing the guards. He throws the guards off of him, then dashes inside without being seen. The guards look around wondering where he went. Tiger moved too fast for them to see.

"She's got to be in the basement of this building! I am sure of it!" speaks Alister as they speed towards the elevator.

As soon as they get near it, the doors open. They panic. A man in a grey suit walks out, with some paper work in his left hand. He's reading while walking towards the exit. Sonic Tiger and Alister are right above the elevator doors. They quickly sneak inside, and press the basement button.

The head security guard goes back to his post soon after that, not taking notice to the cameras being offline. They arrive at the basement, which is pretty small for a building of this size. Alister finds the bookcase, and begins to remove books.

"What are you doing? We didn't come here to read!" snaps Tiger.

"One of these opens this bookcase! Help me find the right one!" Alister snaps back.

Tiger scratches his head while leaning on a single book. That opens the passage way. Alister runs down the stairs, almost slipping on a trail of blood. He's scared now. What have they done to her? He peeks around the corner to find a security camera. Most likely the one that has been turned off this entire time.

He searches around some more to find trails of blood leading to a single door in the back. Many thoughts race through his mind at that moment. Is she ok? Is she alive? He reaches to open the door, only to find it locked. Getting angry, he busts the door open. He looks around to realize his fears. His eyes open wide as he looks upon Angeline, tied to a chair. He clothes are cut and slashed in many areas. Her arms and legs are bleeding, as is her face due to being beaten.

From what the trails of blood look like, she tried to get away, but they dragged her back. She manages to briefly look up at him, then hangs her head again. Alister rushes to her aid, and unties her. She falls forward, as Tiger catches her. Alister clenches his fists, before looking at Sonic Tiger with tears in his eyes. Tiger was shocked by this. Never before has he seen this emotion from Alister. Not since that one day at the park…

"Tiger, I beg of you. Take care of her. Make sure she is safe until I get back." Alister says before walking past him.

"What are you going to do Alister?" Tiger questions, knowing the answer already.

"To have a talk." he states before leaving the room. Sonic Tiger nods, hoping he won't do anything wrong.

He leaves the building with Angeline in his arms. Thankfully, Alister was causing enough trouble for him to escape without being seen. Alister is walking down the hallway towards Tyson's office, as Black Rockman. The guards fire their guns, hoping to stop him.

But he's too fast for them. He quickly rushes up to them, and bashes them on the head, knocking them out. He stops in front of Tyson's doors. With his arm slashers extend, he slices through the thick doors. They fall to the ground as Tyson looks back behind him, knowing who it is.

"Tyson!!" screams Alister as the rage in his voice could clearly be felt.

Tyson turns around to see Alister right in his face. Alister grabs him by his neck collar, and throws him across the room. Before Tyson could get up, Alister is already in front of him, and throws him towards his desk. Tyson staggers to get up, before wiping blood from his mouth.

"Is there something I can do for you Black Rockman?" Tyson asks with a smug look on his face. This only acts to make Alister even more angry than he already is.

"How dare you! Angeline NEVER hurt you! Why did you have your men take her, and beat her?! WHY?! Answer me Tyson!" shouts Alister.

"I don't know what you're talking about Rockman. I had nothing to do with that." he says turning around. Alister appears right behind him, with his right arm slasher right up to Tyson's throat.

"Why did you do such a thing?! She had nothing to do with us!" Alister shouts in his ear. Tyson laughs.

"Of course she had nothing to do with this! She was only a decoy! She worked really well too… everyone in this city now knows that you have tried to kill me tonight. Take a look at that camera in the corner." Tyson says pointing towards it. Alister turns around to see the camera, with the red blinking light showing that it's showing live footage.

"No…" Alister thinks to himself. Just then, many guards run into the room, and begin to fire at Alister. He smashes the glass window open, then jumps out. He soon disappears after that.

"Mr. Tyson sir! Are you alright?" one guard asks him.

"Of course I'm not alright! That guy just tried to kill me!!" Tyson shouts at him. "Have him arrested and put on trial!" he adds after that. The men leave the room, and contact the Guardian's. Black Rockman is now a criminal.
