--Disclaimer: I don't own AKIRA or its characters/gangs/locations. I only own Kiba and her 'friends'. So don't flame me, or I'll report you.--

AN: There are talks about drugs, usage of drugs and slight talks/references of sex.
You should also know by now that Tetsuo has a horrible mouth, so swearing is certain.
I am taking a temporary break now, just because I have a holiday to Florida coming up…that, and I need to get Volume 5 of Akira to keep my inspiration flowing!!!
(I also got the SIMS 2 for PC and it is highly addictive.)

Tetsuo Take Ato Niban Kikai

Part 9: The Escape PART 2

Meanwhile, back on the 12th Floor…

"Tetsuo! Why in gods name did you do that!?" Kaneda barked, stood alongside the other members of the group; who where gathered around something.

"I did what came naturally." Tetsuo chuckled.

"Blowing someone's head off!? You call that natural!?" Kyubi growled.

"Tetsuo, we made it perfectly clear that you shouldn't use your powers!!" Kiba snapped.

"Why are you so damn fucking angry!? The guy had me at gun-point and could have easily shot me in the head." Tetsuo answered back, pushing everyone aside to kick the corpse of the General.
Smirking as if pleased with what he just did, Tetsuo kicked the body aside and continued down the corridor.

"That little---!!" Kiba growled as the others followed the psychic, Kiba delaying her follow-up just so she could take the dead Generals weapon.
Strolling alongside Tetsuo now; Kaneda took this chance to see just how much he remembered without being fed any information.

"Hey Tet…" Kaneda began, pushing his hand through his stupid hair. (I HATE HIS HAIR!)
Tetsuo glanced to his left to look behind him to see who was there, before looking slightly to his right and making an 'uh-huh' sound to ensure Kaneda knew he was listening.

"I just want to know something---" Kaneda began, before being interrupted by Tetsuo suddenly speaking in response.

"It's about…Kaori…isn't it?" Tetsuo asked, not even looking towards Kaneda.
But for some reason, Kaneda felt Tetsuo's gaze upon him as they walked down the corridors tentatively; obviously trying to listen out for danger.

"Well…it was sort of about Kaori…but---" Kaneda began, but got interrupted by Tetsuo again.

"…You want to know how much…I remember about her." Tetsuo answered, suddenly stopping in the middle of the corridor.
Shortly after stopping, Tetsuo entered a form of trance as if listening to something.

"Tet---" Kaneda began again; but was silenced by Tetsuo's metal arm rising upwards, almost as if to give the gesture to be quiet and listen.
The others stopped behind Kaneda, baffled by both his silence and Tetsuo's.

"What's the matter?" Kei asked Kaneda, who flapped his hands at them to be quiet.
The group stood dead still and listened, but they couldn't hear anything.
The alarm had stopped, the soldiers running after them before had gone and pretty much all activity had stopped.

"I can't hear a damn thing!" Kai blurted out.

"Maybe Tet has finally snapped? Hehe…SHIT! If that's the case we better get out of here!!" Kaneda joked, but suddenly sprung into terror after remembering what happened last time Tetsuo went mad.
Kiba shrugged, indicating that she couldn't hear anything either.

"Do you hear that, Kyubi?" Tetsuo asked, in a whispering tone, the fox-man behind him.
Kyubi stepped forward and stood by Tetsuo's left, both of them staring directly at the elevator in front of them.

"I hear it alright…what do you think we should do?" Kyubi answered.
Tetsuo just stared at the elevator in silence, still in a mid-trance like state, whilst Kyubi was being hassled by Kiba and Kaneda who where demanding to know what was going on.

"…the questions will have to wait until later, Kaneda. It's not safe here." Tetsuo blurted out as if uncertain; Kaneda looking baffled towards Tetsuo almost not sure of what was just said himself.
That was when the elevator started to stir, it was moving upwards!

"You guys better get out of here, I'm perfectly capable of getting out on my own." Tetsuo suggested.

"No way! We came to help you escape! You're not staying here!!" Kiba snapped, grabbing onto Tetsuo's metal arm.

"Listen; if we split up they will come after me first; because I am their fucking test subject. That'll give you the chance to escape." Tetsuo explained, pushing Kiba off his arm.

"I think he's offering to act as bait until we get out of the building…if that's the case, we haven't got much time." Kyubi simplified, before waving the group to follow him.

"You've done a brave thing there, Tet." Kai laughed before following Kyubi and Kei.
Kaneda took a little bit more persuasion from Kai before he finally followed Kyubi; but Kiba, still reluctant to leave without Tetsuo after all this hassle, grabbed his metal arm again and tried to tug him in the same direction as the others where heading.
But he wouldn't move.

"Come on Tet! We can't leave you in here!!" Kiba whined, still tugging at Tetsuo's metal arm.

"Hey; what's the problem, Tet? Got a girlfriend problem?" laughed a familiar voice from around the nearby corner.
The recognizable voice sent shivers down Tetsuo's spine, now stood in a slumped posture with his eyes wide open.
That was when none other than Derby, Number 42, strolled around the corner.

"D-derby!!?" Tetsuo huffed in a nervous manner, Kiba now releasing her grasp from Tetsuo's arm to back away slightly.

"Well if it isn't my little play-thing…still sore from out little session three nights ago, Tet?" Derby chuckled.
Tetsuo remained silent.

"You're awfully quiet today, Tet. Have you done something naughty recently? Or are you recalling that little session again?" Derby laughed.
Tetsuo, now turning his back on Derby, trembled in terror before slumping to the floor, wrapping his arms around himself as if to warm his trembling body.

"It's a shame you trembled just like that whilst we did it; but I was still surprised over how you never put up a fight." Derby chuckled as he approached the cowering Tetsuo.

"Who the hell do you think you are!?" Kiba snapped, standing in front of Tetsuo as if to protect him.

"…oh, my apologies, miss…I didn't know Tet had a girlfriend. But then again, he made it hard to believe he had one." Derby mocked, kicking Tetsuo slightly in a teasing manner.
That was when Kiba drew the gun she swiped from the dead General, aiming it directly at Derby's head.

"Don't touch him!" Kiba barked.

"A gun? I've been shot countless times you know; it used to be quite painful. But once they put me on medication I just didn't feel the pain anymore. You want proof? Shoot me." Derby mocked.
Kiba, backing away from Derby with the gun still aimed at him, started to look a little nervous herself.

"K-Kiba…just fucking go!! They're coming down right now!!" Tetsuo cried out, now being hauled off the ground by Derby.
Sensing the oncoming danger Tetsuo warned her about; Kiba nodded and ran in the same direction as the others.

"Well, Tet…was she your girlfriend?" Derby asked in a serious tone.

"N-no." Tetsuo trembled, being freed from Derby's grasp.

"Good. So anyway…what have you done?" Derby questioned, fiddling with Tetsuo's hair in a flirting manner.

"I…I haven't done anything!" Tetsuo answered, still trembling.

"You're pupils just dilated." Derby growled, now towering over Tetsuo in an intimidating fashion.

"W-what's that supposed to mean!?" Tetsuo huffed, but still acting in a nervous manner.

"It means…you're lying to me. Don't you remember what I did to you when you tried to think you where better than me last time!?" Derby growled, grasping Tetsuo under the chin and staring him dead in the face.
Feeling Derby's strength grow, Tetsuo tried to use his powers as a defense mechanism.
But for some reason, his powers didn't show through.
The main reason as to why his powers where not working right now, was because of the overwhelming terror he was feeling. It disrupted his power flow and he couldn't concentrate.
Tetsuo's terror escalated when Derby moved his grasp from Tetsuo's chin to his neck, tightened his grip and threw him to the ground.

"This brings back memories, doesn't it?" Derby laughed, pinning Tetsuo on the ground.

"Y-you rotten--!!" Tetsuo growled, still trembling as the physically stronger male pinned him across the floor.

"Still trembling, I see…it was rather amusing the first few times, but now it's just sad. Just because we liked it last time you acted like this doesn't mean I'll like it again, I say you should tough it out." Derby suggested in a serious tone.

"What makes you think I liked it!?" Tetsuo barked, now putting up some form of fight to get free of Derby's grasp.

"The fact that you just took it, without complaint, was enough for me to think just that." Derby answered in a smug-like tone, giving Tetsuo a very intimidating stare.

"I only fucking took it because you beat me up so much that I couldn't move!! Now get off!" Tetsuo barked as he finally pushed Derby off him, got to his feet and eased his breathing pattern.

"I still aroused you, didn't I?" Derby laughed, getting to his own feet.

"Like fuck you did! I wasn't aroused, I was mortified!" Tetsuo growled as he got ready to attack with his powers, which had suddenly returned to him the instant he pushed Derby off of him.

But before he could use his powers, the elevator doors opened and guards swarmed the corridor.
Derby may have been physically strong, but he had no reason to put up a fight, so he surrendered without hassle.
Several soldiers tried to confine Tetsuo, but he was reluctant to being captured.
It took about 4 soldier deaths before they finally cornered him, with the aid of Derby Tetsuo was confined to a corner and couldn't escape.

"Easy now men, we have him where we want him." Said a familiar voice from behind the horde of soldiers, who where ensuring Tetsuo remained backed in the corner.
As the soldiers made room for the person who spoke, Tetsuo thought it was his chance to make a break for it.
But instead of moving swiftly past the soldiers, he got a good whack in the face by a rifle and was pushed back into the corner.
Before he could get up to try again, he felt a sharp sting in the side of his neck; instantly causing his activity to drop.
Whoever whacked Tetsuo just darted him with a sedative. (Don't ask why I have obsessions with sedating Tetsuo, I just do. Lol.)
Now that Tetsuo was slumped in the corner and in a calmer manner; the person who darted him stepped forward and into view.
Looking up to see who whacked him; Tetsuo was fairly surprised to see the Colonel, dressed in full military wear and holding a chunky looking rifle, breaking through the horde of soldiers.
The gap was quickly closed once the Colonel was at the front of the group.

"What made you think you could escape, number 41!?" the Colonel boomed, loading another dart into the rifle smoothly to prevent disturbing the calmed Tetsuo.
But he didn't seem very calm at all, it was as if the dart made his muscles weak…but he still seemed fairly angry and willing to cause some form of disruption.

"The fact you treat me like a number and not like an individual was enough for me to take out half your security, it was EASY." Tetsuo snapped back, still slumped down in the corner, looking up at the Colonel.

"Couldn't have been easy if you're still here, now where are your friends!?" The Colonel boomed, finishing off loading the rifle.

"Up your ass, you stupid fuck. I'm not saying anything. And I only stayed behind because you still have my drugs; and I know I can't live without them. If I wasn't so dependant on this shit I would have escaped ages ago." Tetsuo barked, trying with all his might to move at least his arms.
But the sedative had caused his entire body to sag, he couldn't move one inch let alone twitch, it was as if he weighed a hundred tons.

"You're digging yourself a grave Number 41! Keep this up and you'll be euthanized!" The Colonel growled, nodding to the soldiers to back off now that it was obvious Tetsuo couldn't move.

"Fuck you, skin-head! I haven't done shit!" Tetsuo huffed, now giving up on moving.

"You just made a mistake you'll live to regret. Don't think we don't have everything on tape!" The Colonel growled, aiming the rifle at Tetsuo, ready to fire.

"…s-shit…" Tetsuo muttered, cursing under his breath before finally being sent to sleep with the second dart.
The Colonel, now handing the rifle to a nearby soldier, turned his attention to Derby.

"Let that be a lesson to you as well!" The Colonel barked before a nearby doctor escorted Derby back to his room.
The Professor, who witnessed Tetsuo's odd behavior on the CCTV footage the Colonel showed him recently, knelt beside the slumbering psychic and began examining him to ensure he wasn't in a critical-sleep.
Afterwards, he tilted Tetsuo's head forwards and brushed aside some of the psychics raven black hair to expose a small scar on the back of his head.
Reaching into his pocket, the Professor revealed a strange 'scanner-gun' device and quickly scanned the area where the scar was, before setting Tetsuo back against the wall and examining the little monitor on the scanner.

"Professor?" The Colonel asked, bowing slightly to show his respect.

"The chip is definitely broken; all I can detect on it is his number and name. The power-reading is fried and the 'controlling' side of the chip isn't holding any power back, he could have easily killed us all just now." The Professor explained.
The Colonel, now certain of Tetsuo's power being a danger, had to make a decision quickly.
Solitary-confinement or…Euthanasia?

END OF CHAPTER 9.

AN: Review? I know what you're going to say! I bet it's "what the hell was wrong with Tetsuo when he confronted Colonel!? Why didn't he blow off his head!?" well, he had a good point. He only stayed behind because he wanted those drugs and such; he was also probably calm because he was sedated…again.
The chip was not strong enough anymore, so they had to keep him sedated to control his anger. He seemed very aggressive even when under the influence of the sedatives, so it was further proof that his power was immense now.
Anyway, that's enough explaining and stuff.
Thanks to
angel raziella and Guy With A Big Sword for their reviews! ;)
See you after my holiday!

Teaser for next chapter

"Shut up Derby, I'm not you're little puppet to mess around with."

"You're right there. You're not a puppet. You're a toy, only right now, you seem to have become a 'toy of death' to everyone in the building. If the scientists find out about what you're doing with your powers you'll be in deep shit."

"Wait until they find out what you did to me several nights ago. Think I'm bluffing!? I ain't afraid to rat on your ass because you're a dumb fuck with no friends to back you up!"

"At least I can REMEMBER my old friends! You've got nothing, my little toy."

"Touch me like that again and I'll rip your fucking arms off!"
