Serum of Annihilation

The police came to the facility. They separate into each part of facility, arresting terrorists and firing against them. Duang-gaaw ran to join the police colonel Chaiwutt and T.A.F.F.E agent Hackeyes.

"Captain, report," Chaiwutt commanded.

"I can't follow the two into the basement, sir," Duang-gaaw saluted and reported the situation.

"We may need to help them for the great success," Hackeyes explained as the police slowly invaded through the entrance way into the depth of facility. Some policemen were killed easily as they moved forward to three ways. "Captain, I can do this with Colonel. Go and search for them."

Duang-gaaw hesitated, she turned toward her colonel who nodded. She smiled, picked an AK-47 from a dead Insee agent and ran into the front door where she came from.

"Let's go, sir," Hackeyes led the colonel to the way the trio ever went to when they got here the first time. Hackeyes put an arrow on his crossbow and fired at the group of three Insee gangsters near the gate of other way, exploding them all with explosive flash bang, making vision impossible for approximately five seconds for police to get to them easier and handcuff them.

The Colonel fired his pistol at the leg of an Insee gangster before he kicked the gun away from this gangster. Sliding along the ground, Hackeyes at low level fired his arrow at only legs and arms of enemies.

The SWAT team took over some areas of the facility. Some of them were fired. Some Insee agents slowly fell back to the wall where there were many doors, they pushed on buttons of each door which opened and let go of many ENORMOUS WEIRD DOGS who were genetically serum hounds that already went bad.

The Serum hounds ignored all Insee gangsters and went to hunt the police instead. The SWAT team raked their M-16s at those dogs but the bullets couldn't even pierce through the thick muscular skins of those dogs. One dog could bite a police apart like their food and threw his injured body to other way.

Those dogs raced through facility and hunted the whole SWAT team crazily and brutally.

"What the hell are these? Team fall back, fall back, right now," SWAT team leader shouted command as the dogs advanced, hunting down police like crazy wild wolves.

Half of the SWAT team had been already killed by dogs and Insee gangsters who advanced in the formation to kill. Some dogs hurt the same side but their main targets were definitely those policemen and SWAT members- intruders.

The team carefully fell back together with fired at those dogs with all weapons they had. Hackeyes came to join them, firing his arrow at one of those dogs. He pressed on the red buttons, immediately, the tip of arrow which adhered at its skin flashed ominously before it exploded the head of that dog apart into bloody meat, piece by piece. Everyone knew that this was so cruel but Hackeyes had to do this to protect the rest of SWAT team.

Hackeyes shot more arrows to three dogs at the same time, missing two of them, one who got shot, exploded in few seconds later. The police and SWAT team dropped down as some still raked guns at those coming dogs even they couldn't hurt them but they fired to save their lives.

The Colonel pulled the pin of his hand grenade and threw it to two dogs, exploding them. The two dogs weren't dead but they were just seriously injured. "Move for advance, SWAT team," the Colonel shouted command as Hackeyes shot his arrow at the closest dog and leaped onto a dead dog's bag, he dropped his head down to avoid shots from Insee gangsters.

The Colonel and some policemen raked their guns at some Insee agents. The Colonel shouted, "If you don't surrender, we'll kill you all."

"No way, Colonel," an Insee gangster challenged the Colonel just before he was shot by a SWAT team member.

Hackeyes made his way to a container where he fired his arrows at dogs nearby, exploding their legs and trying hard not to kill them. Three Insee thugs moved onto the container to attack him but he spun and kicked one of them out. He turned around, stabbed the head of his arrow at one's leg and spin-kicked another last one.

"Oh! Yes," Hackeyes exclaimed as he saw three dogs were climbing onto the container, heading for him.

Hackeyes leaped off the container as the dogs complete got onto it, twisting in mid-air then firing the arrow. Its head opened up into a grappling hook which attached to the ceiling of the facility. He swung from the wire still attached to his crossbow and crashed through a window into a second floor room where he suddenly stood and faced two Insee gangsters. He thrashed his crossbow at them as he grabbed his gun and quickly opened fire, killing them.

Hackeyes moved to window again, aimed his crossbow at the top of container where those dogs were leaping onto and fired. He spun back and pushed the red button, it exploded and damaged three dogs, knocking them down the first floor, seriously injured with burns and wounds.

Hackeyes breathed for relax and continued his way on second floor, firing down as police support from now on.

Along the dark corridor, Duang-gaaw with two policemen walked and followed the traces of two super heroines.

Unlucky, Duang-gaaw found a man in her way without weapon. He snapped open his coat, his body automatically settling into a defensive position. He beckoned for the great challenge to spar against the police captain.

"Okay, if you want that," Duang-gaaw threw her gun aside and mirrored the same position.

The man hurled himself at his enemy. The first exchange was so good, not too fast and hard for captain to withstand. She jumped and kicked him involuntarily in mid-air but he always pushed all kicks away. When she stood on ground again, simultaneously, delivering a thunder packed punch that sent both captain and the man flying backwards-

Captain pushed herself up and launched against the man who slowly but incompletely stood, barging him against wall with all her trained stamina.

Falling back a bit for tactics, Duang-gaaw looked to the man who slowly stood up and leaped to her. "Good," she exclaimed as she suddenly leaped to him. Duang-gaaw crashed him with her two knees at his chest in mid-air before she summersaulted and spun to stand, looking to the painful man. "You want it again, son of a bitch?"

But the man couldn't stand, he fell painfully.

Sighing, Duang-gaaw walked over to her gun, getting it and continuing her way deeper into the facility and also down to the basement.

During the chaos occurred and went bad with gunfire and fighting sounds out there, the super heroines were still under the basement, facing the two fugitive prisoners and their two best men.

"Now it's my time for this victory," Lady Siam said confidently as she held her shield firmly in her hand.

Magnum smiled and turned to the hacker who understood what he wanted, he handed Magnum the silenced USP45. "You have come so far, Lady Siam, but you won't get anything here. Join us and accept this serum. We won't have to kill you then."

Lady Siam didn't seem to surrender.

"So be it." Magnum turned to Linglom and said quietly, "Show our friends the hostage."

Linglom nodded and threw the injured hostage to ground in front of Lady Siam whose look suddenly changed, her heart plummeted in despair. It was Stefan, he was Stefan; he was her beloved husband. Tin Miss looked to her twin sister, understanding her feeling as well. At that moment, Stefan looked up to see his wife in front of him. "I'm sorry," the words were said by Stefan's weak hush tone voice.

"Stefan," the two super heroines exclaimed in sorriness. They looked away from him to the super villains with vengeance.

"We know who you are," Magnum explained and looked to each of them, "Mrs. Allison Pichitchai and Mrs. Cameron Connor."

"I had run after you every step since you destroyed our factory, ma'am," Linglom replied the questions in the ladies' minds as Lady Siam slowly got the injured Stefan closer her and hugged him in her warm embrace so gently. Tin Miss stared still at those men.

"You have only a chance now," Magnum spoke proudly.

Why they had to be afraid of these terrorists, Tin Miss imagined without notice. She immediately made a move to Magnum but he barged her away across the hall to smash back at concrete buckling behind her at the same...

...Linglom raced his feet at Lady Siam, he untied her embrace from Stefan with light touches together with pushed her away from him; she couldn't sense the touches of Linglom because it happened in the twinkling of her eyes, very fast or maybe in a flash. For the strength and stamina of Linglom, it was enough to barge Lady Siam many meters away but if anyone compared it with Magnum's, Magnum was still stronger anyway.

Without withstand, Lady Siam fell to ground close to Tin Miss who still lied unconscious in broken wall. Lady Siam's shield fell unidirectional on ground far away from her.

Linglom grabbed weak Stefan by throat and seized him up. "I don't know why they want us to kill you, cripple, but they confirm that only one way to kill you is to use your wife," Linglom whispered to the weak Stefan who still knew and heard what he had said.

Almost lost all her strength, Lady Siam couldn't even stand up to another fight. "Let him go," Lady Siam shouted begging, "Please, let him go. I surrender you all." Her tears flew from her eyes which stared directly to her husband who looked to her and tried to tell her not to surrender them. She read his manner, I'm okay, Allison, please don't, please get them.

Nearly stop breathing, Lady Siam saw her husband being thrown and played like a toy by two villains without mercy. She couldn't see that anymore, she couldn't hear him screaming in pain, she couldn't fight with this. Linglom thrashed Stefan onto ground so hard. His mind tried to tell her that it was okay but she never believed that.

"Okay. Okay, whatsoever you want. Please come and get it. Release him," Lady Siam knelt down, begging them. So they let go of Stefan, leaving him on broken ground. But as Linglom walked over to Lady Siam, the Svalinn soared up at the same time Lady Siam's eyes displayed her stratagem; the shield quickly launched itself against Linglom who flied backward and pierced through wall by wall.

"Now my turn," Lady Siam immediately moved to Magnum who just stood still. She gave him the hardest punch of her abilities but Magnum didn't seem to have any colicky pain from the hardness of her fist that crashed his abdomen.

Lady Siam looked stunned with that. Magnum grabbed her and threw her away. She summersaulted in mid-air and landed gracefully on ground ten meters away from him and reached out her hand, quick as lightning, the Svalinn spin-moved in the air onto her hand that caught it firmly and threw it toward Magnum who bounced off for a few meters. The shield reflexed onto her hand again.

Wakening, Tin Miss opened her eyes and stood up. She raced to help Lady Siam but the prestissimo Linglom from somewhere else got in her way and kicked her away with non-human strength. Tin Miss balanced and made an on double move to Linglom who launched himself against her, yanking her on ground. Ultrafast, Linglom outran to her and grabbed her by throat but she hit his arms with her right arm, pushed him a bit from her and chopped his chest with her hand like she ever did to Vick, she yanked in him and threw him away to smash the wall near her side.

Both hacker and Vesker saw that the situation had changed, so they ran away into darkness.

Lady Siam and Magnum still fought against each other. Magnum seemed privileged his strong vantage of his strength. Lady Siam tried to fight with all she had; her cape, her strength, her shield, but nothing seemed useful with this super human.

Magnum grasped her and threw her away from him when Linglom just barged Tin Miss away. In great haste, Linglom ran to Magnum who handed him with a hypodermic syringe that was full with blue liquid which was absolutely the super serum.

Quick as a flash, Linglom rushed to Lady Siam who couldn't stand in time, and injected the super serum directly into her vein at her neck just before he moved back away from Lady Siam at the rate of knots.

Lady Siam pulled out the hype and looked to them. "What did you inject to me?"

They smiled proudly as they glanced at both Tin Miss and Stefan who slowly moved to Lady Siam who felt difference of her own body.

"Good luck. You are no lady anymore, girlie." After the words escaped from Magnum's throat, they both left the trio.

"Allison, are you okay?" Stefan asked as Lady Siam was still like a statue, stunned or something else; Lady Siam winced painfully meanwhile the serum rapidly changed her, it overclocked the abilities for each of her organs, it killed her humanity, it burned her and destroyed every old weak cells to create and make them stronger and stronger every second.

"Allison, did you hear me? Allison, are you okay?" Stefan repeated his words as he slowly crept into her with all the rest of his power. Lady Siam fell deeper into the big dark hole of psychosis, the most common side effect of taking the Super Serum which Insee now had been using these things to fight other people.

Screaming and roaring like mad tiger, Allison pulled out her mask and threw her shield away from her. Her mind was no more. Her whole body was now being controlled by something else. Stefan's voice that had always called her name never had been useful since she was injected.

Allison stood up and tried to control over all parts but it seemed like the serum was burning everything in her life; her love for Stefan, her close relation with Cameron, her goodness and everything. She didn't become muscular like weightlifter or body builder but her muscles and every part of her system became more and more disorder, she turned stronger.

Tin Miss was stunned and agape at the new power of Allison. She didn't know now which side Allison was but only could assume that she might not turn at them friendly, well and lovely anymore.

When the roar of Allison ended, she turned to the other dark way where Duang-gaaw and two policemen just came in. They all saw the real identity of Lady Siam but didn't know what just happened to this good girl.

Tin Miss suddenly looked to them. "Hey! Run from this place now! That's not Lady Siam anymore," she shouted warning to those policemen and the captain but it was too late, mad Allison growled ghoulishly as she started moving, running at speeds up to around 60 miles per hour to them and pushed the captain away from her with one hand. Other two policemen immediately opened fire, they didn't stop even Stefan shouted to them, "Don't hurt her, please."

Not even one bullet could hurt her, her eyes were full with insane anger and wrath. She frenetically punched and kicked them away like light punching bag. The two policemen lost consciousness and lied still on ground.

"Allison! Please don't kill them," Tin Miss shouted, "They are all innocent. Your enemies are out there."

Yes, Allison could hear it. Duang-gaaw just stared hard at this girl whose eyes were like devil. Allison turned to Tin Miss who moved to Stefan and tried to support him up.

Unable to compose herself, Allison grinned dishonestly. This wasn't Allison they ever knew anymore. Stefan stared hard at her as his tears of sorriness streamed down his face, his teeth gnashed as his mind tried hard to move, he had to stop her before she would hurt and kill innocent people.

Duang-gaaw got confused about all this but she realized it when she saw a hype on floor near Stefan and Tin Miss.

Their destiny could be ended here by the one they loved. Allison roared again and started the first step, heading toward Tin Miss and Stefan.
