'Fetch I'll keep it short but, Cat's just lost her brother.' Delsin spoke in to his phone.
'Wait. Brother? What?'
'Yeah the D.U.P. had been keeping her little brother here for the past year. She didn't even know it was him. He couldn't tell her who he was either or they would've killed them both.'
'That's kinda messed up D.'
'I'll say. Cat's kinda gone um, a bit. Strange.'
'Okay I can understand that, tell us the whole thing later. Eugene's here now hang on I'll switch to speakerphone.'
'Eugene buddy you okay?' Delsin said now knowing they could both hear on the other end.
'Yeah, okay I guess.' Eugene replied.
'So, can you guys see any tanks outside? Like gas or fuel tanks or something?' Delsin asked.
'Um, I saw a gas tank at the back of the other building.' Eugene piped up.
'That's good. See if you can find any more or anything else outside of the buildings that can be blown up. We're torching the place.' Delsin said.
'So D, where's Cat now?' Fetch asked sounding a little concerned.
'She's er, um.' Delsin mumbled. 'Cat's wandering around on the lower floors. She's… singing too.'
(Listen if you wish! youtu.**be/deB_u-to-IE Remove the two asterisks.)
Delsin spoke to Fetch and Eugene for a little while longer before he decided to venture downstairs to where Cat was shuffling around. He could hear the sound of glass smashing along with her singing. He wandered through the ward they had originally encountered Doctor Maynard and the DUPE Knights to find all of the gurneys had been tipped over and the machines that would have been attached to people had all been broken and strewn around on the floor. He glanced in to the room where they had seen a few of the soldiers writhing away in pain in their beds. The plastic tents around their beds had been ripped to pieces and plain white sheets had been laid over their bodies. The machines that were keeping them alive had failed when the main power had been cut and the generators hadn't kicked in soon enough to let the machines continue working. The men had all died and Caterina had covered their bodies. Delsin made his way down to the next floor where Caterina's singing was much louder and her destruction rampage sounded like it was getting more intense. He soon found out what she had been doing. Huge icicles had been launched through the observation windows of the clean rooms and had embedded in to various walls and lab machines. The floor was also slippery from some liquid that had pooled up. Caterina was singing at the top of her voice in one of the clean rooms which was loud enough to echo through most of the building.
'You know that it would be untrue. You know that I would be a liar…'
He watched her through a now completely broken clean room door as she was stood at the counter in the middle of the room holding a Bunsen burner in her hand, glaring at it with that emotionless face she had that Delsin had seen many times before. She turned the gas valve open and lit the burner with a match she had found in one of the drawers of the worktop. She ran her hand through the fierce blue burning flame, shifting her power from ice to fire.
'If I was to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher… Come on baby light my fire. Come on baby light my fire.'
Delsin looked amongst some of the broken glass on the floor. Most of the glass was from the windows and doors she had smashed but some of the glass were broken jars or bottles. One large chunk of glass had a label on it reading "METHANOL" in large letters. Caterina had been through some of the storage cupboards and had thrown whatever she had found on to the floor.
'Try to set the night on fire.'
After Caterina had absorbed the fire from the Bunsen burner, she glanced over to Delsin and smiled as she shut the valve to extinguish the flame before she opened it up again.
'Delsin, would you help me turn on all the Bunsen burners on this floor please?' She asked him. He complied with her request just by nodding. She was being creepy again and he didn't want to spook her by doing something stupid. Delsin went in to the other clean rooms and turned the valves open to any burner he could find. Caterina's plan was to flood the entire floor with gas. Delsin eventually met up with Cat at the bottom of the stairs and followed her up to the next floor after propping the door open with a stray shard of glass. Caterina stomped her way through the ward on the next floor but stopped by one of the beds she had turned over. She tugged at the white sheet that was on the bed and yanked it off before she hastily folded it and tucked it under her arm. Delsin continued to follow her as she pounded her way up to the next floor. Cat made her way through the maze of hallways back in to the big white room where her brothers body was. She walked over and crouched down beside his corpse. She gently reached over to his neck and found the clasp for one of the necklaces he was wearing and un-hooked it then slid it in to her pocket. She reached over again and kissed Niko on the forehead before she shook out the white sheet she had under her arm and laid it over his body. She knelt down again and clasped her hands together as she closed her eyes. She was praying for her brother.
'hyvää yötä** Niko.'
Delsin felt a little uncomfortable at this moment and he wasn't sure if he was to leave Cat alone for this moment. But he stayed close to her and kept silent. She soon stood up and walked over to him.
'Let's finish what we came to do.' Caterina said to Delsin. 'Niko mentioned in his video there's a corridor out to the roof access back out that way.'
'I'll go get it open then.' Delsin said to her. Cat just nodded as she made her way back down the stairs. She could smell the gas gradually seeping in to ward floor. She set her hand down on the nearest thing that she could set alight which was one of the gurneys she had toppled over before. Caterina concentrated her fire ability through her left hand and set the white sheet aflame. She quickly ran back up the stairs and through the corridors having only a few moments to get out before the seeping gas reached the burning sheet. Cat staggered in to a wall as the entire building shook from a huge explosion; the gas had ignited a lot sooner than Cat had expected. She righted herself and ran along the white hallway up to the roof access door where Delsin was waiting with his phone against his ear.
'NOW FETCH!' She shouted in to his phone as he grabbed Caterina with his free hand. The two Conduits ran as fast as they could to the edge of the roof and jumped off the building just in time to see Fetch firing a Neon laser at the gas tank situated outside of the first building. The tank exploded and took nearly the entire south side of the building with it; flames had already started to engulf the interior. A second shot moments later hit the tank outside of the second building which helped the destruction of it along. Delsin and Caterina had ran from the burning buildings as fast as they could to reach a safe distance. They both ground to halt and turned around to see their handiwork. Both buildings were beginning to collapse under the pressure of the explosions and the fire that had soon tore its way through each floor.
It was finally over for Caterina.
** Goodnight
