Who is it?
She walked over the rubble looking down at the straps of burn buildings, furniture, toys, everything. She looked for signs of life. "God Rufus. You're such an idiot!" She kicked over rubble. "Damn you. You knew this would happen! Why did you do something earlier!?" She kicked over more rubble.
"Misty… Misty Rubain?"
Misty spun around. She knew it wasn't Rufus. It was a five foot eleven inch buff, well-built man with short dirty blond/ gray hair, gray eyes, and tan but pale skin and a distinctive sleek smile.
"Mark Sharpel?" He was wearing the man's set-up of the 1st Class SOLDIER uniform. Black leather and all.
He smiled. "Misty… It's been awhile." He walked towards her.
She smiled and shook her head. "It's been a long while." She walked towards him. "What a time and place to meet.."
He laughed and hugged her. "I thought you died with Sephiroth."
She laughed. "Nope."
"I'm glad to see you alive."
"Likewise. I never thought you'd make it this far!" She hit him playfully.
"Are you back in?" He motioned to her outfit.
She shrugged. "Unenthusiastically."
He laughed. "Glad to have you back on the team. Just in the nick of time too. SOLDIER needs someone with a level head, especially after all this…" He looked around the rubble. "Have you seen Sky?"
She looked at him and shook her head. "Can't say that I have."
"He's in Kalm lets go… He's got Dark Nation with him too."
"Really? Dark Nation made it?"
"Yup."
"Hmm…"
There was a six foot four inch muscular man with blonde and red tipped hair, hazel color eyes, wearing all black sitting at the bar with a chain leading from his hand down to and huge black Jaguar type cat. His back was facing the door. He was drinking a beer when Misty and Mark walked in.
Misty shook her head and walked to his right side. "Sit up straight boy! What you think this is, your mama's house!?" She slammed her fist on the bar making everyone and their drinks jump.
"Why you Sonovabitch…Misty!!!" He jumped up out of his chair and hugged her. Dark Nation jumped up. "Where have you been?"
She laughed. "Around. I see your still around the bars, eh?" Dark Nation rubbed upon her leg. She petted him.
He laughed and scratched his head. "Yeah… But anyways, how the hell you been?!"
She laughed. "I don't remember much, but I'm good. How you been?"
"I've been good, real good. Just got a promotion as a matter of fact!"
"Wow, that's good! Have a family yet?"
He shook his head. "Naw, be to traumatizing to them you know?"
She nodded. "So what else has been happening?"
He shook his head. "A lot of shit as happened since you and Sephiroth disappeared after the mission to Mountain Nibel and then Sephiroth and you coming back but Sephiroth in a different persona… Hell I tell you, hell… It's a wonder Mark and I haven't quit SOLDIER!" He lend back on the counter.
"So you guys are still with Shin-Ra?"
Mark nodded. "Yeah, we stayed one for the search of you and Sephiroth. Then we got tied into a contract to be sure we stay ten plus years for the search. The search lasted for about a year after that. Complete bull. We would have left… but we couldn't have."
Misty nodded. "So Shin-Ra did end up fucking us all over like promised." She shook her head. "Thank god I wasn't around for that shit." Her PHS rang. "Hello?"
"Hey where are you?!" It was Cloud.
"Kalm."
"What are you doing there?"
She looked at Sky and Mark. "Being reunited with family." She smiled.
"We'll be there."
She hung up the PHS. "Looks like you'll meet the rest of the people linked to my past."
Mark and Sky nodded.
"So still trying to save the world?" A mysterious voice came from behind her.
Misty turned around.
A six-foot even, dark skinned, buff, short blue hair, and green and orange eyed man dress in a first class SOLDIER outfit was standing behind her smiling. "Misty… It's been a while."
"Paul?"
He nodded.
"Well, I'll be… Yeah it has…" She smiled and looked down. "How you been?"
He nodded. "Good. You?"
She nodded and smirked slightly. "Not good and not bad."
"Still saving the world…"
She laughed. "Uh… Yeah!" She nodded and rubbed her head.
"God… You still look good."
She stopped laughing. "Oh, don't even start, again."
He laughed. "Ah… still after Sephiroth, eh?"
She glared at him. "If you consider me trying to catch him before he ends the world, then yeah."
He nodded.
"I don't believe it's him… Trying to kill us all. He would never do that. He never would have thought of it." Mark looked down at the ground.
"I know and I'm going to get to the bottom of it. Weather anyone agrees with it or not." Misty looked at Mark. "So shall we go meet the rest of my crew, meanwhile on the way, I'll tell you what happened to me and how I found these people." She headed towards the door.
Mark, Sky and Paul followed and Misty began to tell her story.
"So you mean to tell me, you hardly remember anything?" Mark looked at Misty, unbelieving. "You've got to remember some things."
Misty nodded. "I remember more then I did three days ago, I'll tell you that much, but I don't remember any of my mission's with Sephiroth, or anything. I remember you guys and shit, but nothing else." Misty paced slowly. She sighed. "I remember a training mission I went on, I remember the mission I went on with you guys. I remember you, Paul, always hitting on me. I remember you, Sky, being a big brother to me. I remember you, Mark, always being the father I never had. See, that is what's weird. I remembered you guys right when I saw you guys… Argh…" Misty fell to her knees. "Ugh…" She grabbed her head. The world was now spinning to her, she felt fatigued. "Oh god…" She passed out with Mark, Paul, and Sky over her asked if she was ok and calling her name.
She was looking out a window over a rainforest. She turned away. She was wearing her normal SOLDIER outfit. She paced the room. She knew it was out there. She felt it. It tickled her spine with coldness. Where the hell is he? She looked at the clock on the wall. He was five minutes late and it wasn't like him. Just then she heard a blood-curdling scream come from a woman. Shit… She dashed out the office's large black doors.
As she ran down the hall unsheathing her swords thoughts ran through her mind. Could this be it? Can I do it on my own? Oh Sephiroth please come… She ran down the long straight hallway. People were running to the way she came. The woman screamed again. Misty shook her head. The she made it to the huge lobby. She skidded to a stop. In the two story lobby there was a huge black monster thing. It looked like a cross between a demon and a dragon. It was swallowing a man and it had the woman who was screaming in its hard palm. She gave a final scream before he crushed her. Oh fucking a… Misty had to look up at the seven-foot thing.
She shook her head. She was stunned. She never had seen something like this but considering they were in a biogenetic altering science building. Anything is possibly. So this must be Monty, the seven-foot fuck head that I, seventeen-year-old Misty, have to kill BY MYSELF!!! If she ever saw Sephiroth again she was going to kill him. She cursed under her breath and put one of her swords away and held the one out with both hands.
After the monster, Monty, had finished with its brunch. He roared really loud, making Misty cringe, then looked down at Misty and growled. I don't think he likes me very much… So much for friendship… She began to back up slowly shaking her head. Oh hell… It snorted and charged at her. Misty's eyes grew wide and she ran to her right and slammed into the wall as Monty, the fuck head, charged air. If he wasn't happy before, he really wasn't happy now. He stomped his foot turning around and roared again. His gold eyes narrowed on Misty.
You will die!
Misty shook her head and looked at him weird. "You speak?"
It nodded and stomped it's foot. I am Kaliska. I am an ancient god that has been locked up for centuries. Now it is my turn to repay those who locked me up and that's, you, humans, especially magic using ones! He charged at her again. She rolled to her right making Kaliska run into the wall. He stumbled back stunned. Misty decided to make a move.
She got up and jumped on his back and slashed a gaping hole in his thick hard scales. He roared in pain, but his wound just healed up quickly afterwards.
I bet your thinking 'Oh, shit' now! He launched himself back making her fly off his back and her slam into the wall opposite of her.
She shook her head and got up slowly. Now she was seeing two of him. "Aw, fuck…" She lend against the wall. She saw him smile and walk towards her.
I see you have some power. You will be fun to kill. A new toy for me. I need to pick up on some of my skills after all the years I've been locked up.
She saw a vulnerable spot were she could stab him and pray it would hurt him. It was a dark red spot under his belly. But it would take some work to get there and not get killed all in the process. "Fuck…you…" She spat at him.
He inclined backwards growling then swung at her with his left clawed paw. She jumped up and over him landing on his tail. He yowled in pain. Bitch! He tried knocking her off his tail by swinging it but she jumped off in time.
"Eat me, bitch." She dodged him and slashed at his side making him yelp for a minute and exposing his vulnerable part. She stabbed at it but missed, he backhanded her making her slam into the floor. She laid there stunned then saw his big foot coming down on her. She rolled out of the way on time. "Ok, now I'm pissed." She got up and jumped on the lobby's front desk. She began to summon Holy. "Fucker has pissed me off now…"
He growled at her and leapt at her, but got thrown back because of a bright white light hit him in the chest knocking him out of it for a few seconds but he jumped right up and he shook his head at Misty mockingly.
She growled this time instead. She was getting drained though. She was wearing herself out. She brought out her second sword and jumped at him. He blocked. Now they were swording or she was and he was blocking. She was wearing down fast. She was slowing down swing by swing. She wasn't breathing hard, just wearing out. The demon was draining her. She couldn't get to his weak spot and it was tiring her out. Oh hell… She stumbled backwards but kept her balance and swords in hand. "I can't win this, your draining me you bastard!" She spat at him.
He lurched upwards looking down at her. Your nothing but a toy for me, thank you for your entertainment and hard work for me but it is time for you to die! He lifted up his right foot then stopped in mid stomp. He froze.
Misty closed her eyes bearing for the impacted, but when nothing came she opened one eye and saw the look in the monsters eyes. It was like stone.
"No I believe it is time for you to die." A voice came from behind him.
Misty looked at where the demon's weak spot was. The tip of a sword was gleaming through. "Sephiroth?"
"Move Misty!"
She rolled again. The monsters foot came crashing down and he howled in an ear-piercing scream. If he wasn't really pissed before he was really, really pissed now. His eyes turned a bright red and went after Misty. Sephiroth jumped and yanked Misty out of the way knocking both of them into a pile of debris. Sephiroth landed on top of her they were face to face with each other.
"Hi, how are you?" Misty blinked as white dust fell from the ceiling.
"Fine and you?" He panted.
"Oh just GREAT!" She growled at him.
"Sorry I'm late." He smiled.
She looked down. "Ok, well, this isn't the time for this!" She shoved him off her and she jumped up with her swords in hand. Sephiroth summoned Cure 3 on Misty healing her back to normal.
"Thank you, Sephiroth." She growled but kept her eyes on Kaliska, the ancient dinosaur.
How dare you disrespect me! I will crush you like a worthless maggot that you are!!! I will enjoy the both of your blood running down my throat giving me power!!! He stomped towards them.
Sephiroth was right next to her. "Ready?" He looked at her.
She nodded. "Whenever you are." She kept her eyes on Kaliska. She steadied herself and jumped to the left distracting him.
He charged toward her. You think you pathetic humans can stop me?! I will crush you all under my claws!!! This is revenge for my ancestors and I!
Misty smiled and silently prayed that Sephiroth knew what he was doing. She jumped behind the monster as he came at her. Then swung her swords into his back has she spun around. She caught him in the back just above his spine. He yowled in pain and aggression. At this point he bled.
What?! No!
When Kaliska looked up he saw Sephiroth jump down on him with his Masamune drawn. He slashed at Kaliska's throat, ripping through the thick scales and below flesh, making red blood spurt everywhere. It drenched the floor red. Kaliska gave one last roar before melting into a pile of mush on the floor.
Sephiroth and Misty walked over the mush sheathing their swords. Sephiroth blew a chunk of sliver hair that fell in front of his face. "You did well." He looked at Misty.
She slowly turned her head to look at him. "Well? I only did well?!" She growled.
He laughed. "Well, yeah. It was your first boss."
She glared at him. "You think this is funny!? I ALMOST GOT KILLED BACK THERE!!!"
He laughed again. "Almost…"
She cut him off. "Why, I ought to kill you!!!" She began slapping his shoulder and kicking his leg.
"Oh ow…"
She glared at him and kicked him has hard has she could.
"OW!" He looked down at her. "What gives?!"
"YOU ALMOST HAD ME KILLED!!!" She punched him in the chest.
"Almost!"
She growled at him. "That's not the point!"
"But your still breathing!"
"Barely!"
"But you are!"
She rushed him and he grabbed her arms she struggled for a second then looked into his deep green Mako eyes. They both paused, then he kissed her suddenly. Her eye opened with shock and shoved him away. They fell back from each other staring at each other. Misty moved back a bit the jumped forward pulling Sephiroth's lip to hers. They locked on each other for a moment more. This was the first, and certainly not last, kiss.
Misty woke up with everyone staring down at her. Cloud, Tifa, Red, Vincent, Yuffie, Barret, Cait Sith, Cid, Sky, Mark, and Paul were there.
"Is she alive?" Cid puffed out smoke from his cigarette.
"No shit, I'm alive." She sat up and rubbed her head. "How long?" She looked at Mark.
"About an hour or so. You kept calling out for Sephiroth." He looked at his watch.
She used Sky and Cloud's hands for help getting up. "I wonder why…" She muttered under her breath rubbing her back and neck. "Anyways… let's get going!" She began to walk out of Kalm again then turned around. "Sky, Paul and Mark. These are my other comrades, which you all probably have met while I was out."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. "Yeah, pretty much." They looked at each other weird.
She looked at them. "Ok that was scary… but let's go."
They started out to the Highwind until a man call out. "Hey!"
They all turned around.
He was about six foot four inches, well built; tan skin, long black hair, and pale green eyes. He wore regular citizens clothing, so he couldn't be a SOLDIER even though he had a bastard sword on a dragon hilt, resting upon his hips. "Are you Misty?" He pointed at Misty. He voice was deep, deeper then a cello.
"Depending on who's asking." Misty squinted her eyes because of the bright sunlight. She put her hand up to block the mid-day rays.
"I'm Klosh, villager of Gongaga. My people and I need your and your friends help." He wasn't afraid of her like most who knew her were.
Misty looked at everyone who was looking at her. She stepped towards him. "Gongaga needs our help you say?"
He nodded. "Yes, there is a huge monster there. We don't know what it is and it as kill almost half of our village." He was calm and cool about it. He was a warrior.
"Do you know what made this monster attack?"
He shook his head. "We have no idea. Just last Monday it appeared calm at first then it started to grow and yesterday it started attacking us."
"What does it look like?"
"It's about eight foot, black scales, red eyes, looks like a dragon and a devilish demon put together. Razor-sharp claws. Vicious." He looked at Misty. "It has taken children, woman, men, animals… everything." Now there was pain in his eyes.
She nodded. "Kaliska…" She said under her breath, looking away from him. She looked at him again. "He has taken something from you also?"
He nodded and looked down. "Yes, he took my wife and child."
"How old was your child?"
"Unborn."
Misty took in a sharp breath, no one noticed though. She bit her lip. "My condolences." She looked up at the meteor. "We'll help."
He nodded. "Thank you."
"We have no time, so lets go. You may come with us, Klosh."
Everyone nodded and ran to the Highwind.
"So is this gonna be a hard thing or what?" Yuffie looked at Vincent has they ran to the Highwind. "I hope it's hard cuz I really need training so I can fight my dad and stuff."
Vincent looked at Yuffie and rolled his eyes. "It will be what you make of it. If you think it's hard it will be, if you think you'll die you will." He ran ahead of Yuffie. He didn't want to hear her bitching or her talking period. He jumped up to the top of the Highwind, not bothering to take the ladder.
Cid and Misty looked at each other while climbing up the Highwind's side ladder. "I hate it when he does that." They shook their heads and continued up with the rest of the group.
The monster was at some distance now. Misty could tell. She couldn't smell him by and his roar was at distance. She still remembered his rustic stale smell. She wondered how in the hell he came back from the dead. He was dead she made sure of it. Then a thought occurred to her, what if Sephiroth resurrected Kaliska? What if he wanted to haunt Misty and her memories? She was gonna find out from Sephiroth or from Kaliska.
"Madame," It was a one of the village's many warriors. "The elder calls you forth."
Misty walked though the vines that hung from the doorframe that led to where the elder was. His room was lit from sunlight and reflecting water. There was an opal pearl water fountain with a Phoenix bird on top spurting water from its beak. There were vines covering the windows and walls. Plants placed and planted all around the room.
Misty bowed her head to the elder. "Good morning sir."
He was facing a window. "Good morning Misty." He was looking to where Kaliska was. "He does not breathe." He turned toward her. "He's from somewhere else."
"Does he speak?"
He nodded. "In my head, yes."
"Kaliska." Misty looked at the elder.
He looked up at her. "Kaliska? You killed him I thought…"
Misty shook her head. "I thought so too."
Elder looked down at the ground. He walked to his fountain. "He must be stopped." Just then a flock of birds flew over the hut squawking. He turned swiftly to look up at the sky roof. The birds flew over the glass hut. "He's coming." At that a loud roar ripped through the air.
"Misty!!!"
Misty and the elder ran outside. But Misty stopped the elder.
"Wait here!" She turned and stopped the elder.
He shook his head. "No, this is my village!"
She nodded. "I know, but leave this to me. It's too dangerous. Your village can't afford to lose you." Another roar rumbled the air. He sounded pissed. "Just stay inside. I'll take care of everything." She drew her swords out and turned to a warrior standing by for the elder. "Take him down to the ground passage. He'll be safe. Do not come out till I go for you. That's an order from a ex- SOLDIER."
The warrior nodded and took the elders hands." Come with me sir!"
The elder looked at Misty and nodded. "He's for you."
She turned away from the elder and warrior, hearing the door shut and lock behind her. "I know…" She growled. She walked towards the new battlefield were fire and blood filled the air. It stun her eyes but not much, as she was use to it from before. She went to a general. "Get everyone out of here and down into the passage. I don't know if I can handle him alone… but stay in the passage till I come." Something in her eyes just made the general look at her afraid and nod his head retreating his men. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around.
"Misty! We'll help you too. We can beat him!" It was Cloud.
She shook her head. "No. This battle is for me. He came for me. I'll do it."
"But!"
"NO!" She put her hand in protest. "Just make sure everyone is underground. Just do that. This is my battle." She ran off before anyone else could protest.
"Misty…" And low grumble came from were the monster was.
Barret stood next to Cloud. "There she goes. Being all ignorant and shit."
"Kaliska! So your back! Glad to see you made it through hell and back, eh comrade?!" Misty stood in front of the now twelve-foot nine-inch blue-black monster.
He growled. "I will succeed in killing you and it will be joyful!"
Misty smirked. "Didn't you say that once, and I ended up the joyful one?"
He growled at her and charged at her.
Misty moved with ease. "I will be sure to kill you for once and for all." She raised her sword to her shoulders.
Kaliska smirked. "Ha! You do not have your friend to save you though so you will die by my crushing!" He swung his tail at her and of course she roll away from him.
"I have others but they will not do my bidding this time! You will die by my hand!" She slashed her sword at him only wounding his tail, drawing little blood. "Can you feel the burning?"
Kaliska growled in anger. "I can feel the burning of your pain and hate. That is what will kill you if not by me!" He charged at her. She jumped on his back plunging her katana into the back of his spine and yanked it down. The huge lizard yelped out in pain. He swung her off his back making her leave her sword upon his back and tossing her into jungle brush.
"Ack!" She jumped up pulling branches and leaves from herself. "Son of a bitch!" She spat at Kaliska. She pulled out her other sword and dagger. "I would like my sword back!" She jumped at him but he moved to quick for her knocking her down and out of breath.
"I have grown my abilities. I'm much more better then before. I will crush you!" He came stomping after her.
Misty was grabbing her throat for air then looked up as she saw Kaliska come at her in just enough time for her to roll out of his way. He missed her barely. Now she was crawling on her knees with one hand rubbing her throat while she gasped for air. Kaliska came up from behind her and picked her up with his rough, scaly hand.
"Now what are you to do? No Sephiroth to save you now…" He laughed. "What are you going to do now? Scream for you weak friends?" He squeezed her a little bit tighter, making it hard for her to move.
She tried to move. "Scream? For you? Never! " She spat at him. "But I will do this." She began to summon the all mighty Bahamut. Kaliska growled and threw Misty down to the ground. She hissed in pain from hitting the ground hard.
Bahamut flew down from the sky and landed next to Misty. He growled at Kaliska. He fanned his wings out and his eyes began to glow red. He growled deeply. Kaliska growled back at him. Bahamut took a swing at Kaliska with his tail, knocking Kaliska to the ground. Misty managed to push herself away into some jungle while they fought and ripped at each other. Kaliska bit into Bahamut's hard scales just hard enough to draw blood. Bahamut hissed in pain as Kaliska tore off some of his flesh. Bahamut dug his claws into Kaliska's rough scaly skin ripping through it. Kaliska yelped in pain knocking Bahamut down.
Bahamut got back up shaking off the dust, growling. He was covered in blood and dust. He spread his wings out and gave one hard push towards Kaliska's way sending a gust of wind knocking Kaliska down. Bahamut howled and the sky grew dark and cloudy. Thunder and lightning sounded. His eyes glowed red. Lightning echoed in his eyes. His wings flew open and he charged at Kaliska.
Kaliska's eyes narrowed on him. He charged towards Bahamut also. The before the met Bahamut flew up over Kaliska straight into the air and up into the sky. He disappeared in the clouds. Then a loud rumbling came. Kaliska looked up and a bolt of lightning came down upon him. Shocking him. Hopefully killing him. The ground shook from the power of the lightning bolt. Knocking Misty down into shrubbery and vines.
After the lightning bolt dispersed Kaliska groaned and fell to the floor. Bahamut bowed his head and closed his eyes. He wrapped his wings around himself and disappeared. Misty crawled out of the jungle and out into the open. She saw Kaliska groaning in pain. She slowly got up while drawing out her swords. She walked closer to Kaliska.
He was covered in blood and burned. He coughed up blood. "Kill me now." He growled in pain. He twisted his body because of the pain. There was blood coming from his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingertips, it was just coming out from everywhere. "Kill me… Now…" He dragged his words. He curled his lips.
Misty shook her head and summoned death. He was vulnerable to it now. He and Misty held eye contact before he died. The Reaper, in a purple and red cloak, stood opposite of Misty. He put his hand on Kaliska. Kaliska looked away from Misty and closed his eyes. Misty shook her head. Now the Reaper was next to her.
"Do away with the body." Misty looked towards the ocean.
The Reaper nodded but still stood next to Misty.
Misty noticed this. "Yes?" She said politely.
"Your turn is coming." He walked away from her.
Later that night…
Misty was in her room asleep. She was so tired from the fight that day. Now all she wished to do was sleep. But what she wished she wouldn't do was dream. That wish would not be filled to her commands at all. Instead, she'd sleep deeply and dream memorably. The last thing she wanted. The last thing she needed.
There was a tank filled with green liquid. The room it was in, was very high tech. Lights from keyboards, computer screens, and cabinets help lit the room brightly. The lights breathed. Light then dim. Light then dim. It repeated this process again and again. It was breathing with the species that was in the tank of green liquid. The room seemed to be alive with it.
In the tank was a female species. A woman. Floating right side up in the tanks pulsating liquid. Facing the front of the room. Her brown hair gently floated around her. She was wearing what looked like a white sheet. It wrapped around her body like a dress. Tubes and wires were connected to her. The green liquid pulsated, from the equipment, lightly. It seemed like it was also breathing with her.
The doors of the lab slid open. A man. Tall, pale, lanky with long black hair, a white lab coat and think glasses walked in with a short, fat, well dressed, crew cut blond haired man. The tall man walked toward the tank mesmerized. He blinked and checked all the monitors around the tank to make sure everything was okay.
The blond spoke. "Is she ready to be launched yet?" He walked next to the tall man and looked at the woman inside the tank.
"No," He shook his head. "She isn't ready. Her body isn't rejecting yet. So her intake on the Mako is high and well. She shall be stronger then any other, except her mentor, Sephiroth." He walked to another computer monitor and pressed an on-screen button. "She's been on for three days. Longer then any other, and from the looks of it, she's not ready to come off yet. Her stats have risen and so has her intake. She's been taking more each day." He pushed another. "She was supposed to be off Mako Tuesday and begun healing and adjusting yesterday."
The blond shook his head. "We need her now. Wutai will take us over if we don't get our best out there yet. If we don't do it soon, Wutai has us." He walked around the tank examining it. She stared at the woman's body. Violating it. The he jumped. "She moved."
"She twitched. They do that a lot when they're on Mako." He walked to the blond man. "Send out the others. She needs more Mako. She will do better with more. If we take her off now we can't put her back on and we might be doing some harmful damage to her."
He glared at the tall man. "I want her now! I don't care what happens! I want her now!" He stomped his foot. "She is strong enough!"
"Mr. President, she is my exper…"
The president cut him off. "She's my experiment! I've been donating the money to this department! I own this department! I own her! I own SOLDIER! I own Mako! I own everything!" He growled. "If it wasn't for me, you'd be living on the streets! So I want her now! You've been dicking off long enough." He walked closer to Him. "I want her now, Hojo."
"I can't do that. I could end up killing her or putting her to no use at all." Hojo smiled. "Here, I'll show you." He walked out the sliding door with the president following him.
After they left the room, it began to breathe again. There was a quiet hum in the room now. Her hair slightly moved in the liquids light current from the Mako pump. Her left hand twitched again making the liquid move. Her right hand flexed then her left turned up right. Then there was stillness. The lights went dim. The glass began to crack at the bottoms end. The door slid open and Hojo rushed in. He looked at the tank then the monitors.
"This isn't right." He looked at the woman. Something wasn't right. He looked closer. His nose was almost touching the glass. Then all of a sudden, without warning her eyes shot open staring at Hojo. He jumped back. "No…" He rushed out of the room again.
She looked around rapidly. She put her hands on the glass and pushed slightly. Nothing. Then she swam back, cross her arms against her chest, and closed her eyes. The lights grew alarmingly dim. Then the glass shattered.
The green liquid poured out. The woman slid out of the shattered tank with ease, onto her knees. The white- green sheet trailed behind her. Hojo ran into the room and stopped within feet of her. She slowly got up from her crouching position and looked Hojo in the eyes. Her teal Mako eyes flared then went to a calm purple and blue. She glanced around the room studying her surroundings. She tried to move forward but the wires and tubes where still connected to her. She closed her eyes and the all popped off. She looked back at Hojo who was smiling but surprised by her.
"I want it to stop." She softly spoke.
Hojo blinked.
She tilted her head to the left a little and glared at Hojo. "Stop the testing." She was getting annoyed. "Well, speak!"
He blinked again and shook his head. "One more. Just to see your vitals and everything." He moved towards her unthreatening.
She growled and backed away.
Hojo shook his head. "Now Misty, You have been in our care for quite awhile now let me do this last test." He grabbed her arm.
She ripped her away and backhanded him, knocking him out, but when she ran for the door the President and four guards with their guns drawn and aimed at Misty. She froze almost immediately. She took small back steps away from them.
The President shook his head. "Not uh huh. Tsk Tsk, Misty. You know better. We've trained you to be a better SOLDIER then that. No abusing the professors even if they deserve it." He nodded to one of the armed guards. "Get her."
She was cornered with nowhere to go. The guard stepped forward. Raised his gun, took aim at Misty's right arm and shot at her. Once the dart hit her, Misty collapsed to the ground unconscious.
