Chapter 4: The Subway
"Okay were going to need to be on our toes here," Caleb said, "Sango, I need you and Miroku to take out the guards towards the back."
"Right," they responded, Miroku preparing his staff and Sango her boomerang. "Inu-Yasha and Kagome, I need you to cover me, I'll try to take the control car, I'll signal you when its clear." They nodded, Kagome knocked an arrow on her bow, and Inu-Yasha readied Tetsusaiga. "GO!" Caleb yelled, they ran down the subway stairs. Sango and Miroku ran towards the back, three guards emerged, two men and one woman. Sango knocked the two men down with a swing of her boomerang, and Miroku engaged the woman. The first man turned to dust and the second one rose from the ground. He pulled out an Uzi and opened fire. Sango blocked the bullets with her boomerang and managed to land a solid kick on the soldier. Once the soldier was cornered with no weapon, he turned to dust. At the same time, Miroku engaged the woman. The soldier was incredibly fast and hit Miroku many times. Miroku dodged one punch and made a fierce blow with his staff, impacting the soldier's head. The soldier turned to dust.
"There like…like demons, but they're not, they're humans," Miroku said to Sango. "Yes, only the evil in their souls is left and the rest is replaced with…something to make them this powerful. There strength is beyond human," Sango said.
Meanwhile Kagome had hit one guard in the chest and another in the head with arrows, taking them both down. Inu-Yasha took out three with one mighty swing of Tetsusaiga. Caleb had taken over the control car and signaled the others. They ran in and the doors closed. As the subway car moved, they began to calm. They sat and prepared for battle. Sango tended to Miroku's wounds from the fight, and Kagome tightened the string on her bow. Caleb stood guard by the door with his pistols in case soldiers came in from the other cars.
Elsewhere…
Sesshoumaru's eyes snapped open. "Where am I?" he said, or at least tried to say, he couldn't move. He looked around, there were mortals in white coats looking at him and working on computers. He tried to move, nothing, his body simply wouldn't respond. He was in a glass container surrounded by a thick blue liquid. He felt a mask over his mouth and nose.
"He's awake," one of the scientists said, "Full schematics," he said to a computer. A digital voice responded, "Body temperature: normal, brain wave activity: normal, heart-rate: increasing." "The specimen cannot be harmed, release breathing mask and lower paralysis formula so we can calm him." The liquid around him lowered to his neck and the breathing mask on his face came off.
"How are you feeling, Sesshoumaru?" The scientist asked.
"Where the hell am I?!" Sesshoumaru asked, ignoring the question.
"Please try to calm yourself, I will explain everything. We brought you here to create the perfect soldier, you…that is to say, your clone, will become Gideon's body. You will help us take over the world." "WHERE AM I?!" Sesshoumaru demanded, uninterested in the scientist's explanation. "Please calm down, it will make everything much easier. You are in Cabalco Labs in Yokohama, Japan. If we must be that specific you are in cloning tube Thirty-two A." "I have never heard of Yokohama." Sesshoumaru said, calmer, but still angry. "We took you from your time to ours, the year is nineteen-ninety-eight."
"That means I'm in that wench, Kagome's, time," Sesshoumaru thought, "What is 'my clone,' and what if I refuse to help you?" he asked. "Your clone is a perfect copy of you, which we will use as our master, Gideon's, new body. With the strength of a demon and Tchernobog combined, plus Gideon's strategic genius, the Cabal will be invincible. As for you refusing to help, I'm afraid you have no choice," the scientist turned to the computer, "Reattach breathing mask and raise paralysis formula, keep his heart rate steady."
The breathing mask replaced itself and the blue liquid rose again, keeping Sesshoumaru from speaking. "I will have my revenge," he thought as he stood there frozen, "I will escape and you all shall pay."
"Okay were going to need to be on our toes here," Caleb said, "Sango, I need you and Miroku to take out the guards towards the back."
"Right," they responded, Miroku preparing his staff and Sango her boomerang. "Inu-Yasha and Kagome, I need you to cover me, I'll try to take the control car, I'll signal you when its clear."
