Chapter4: Determination
Tanya did not have much time, Liandri troops will come in and raid her house and take her in any minute now. She ran up the stairs to the third floor and into her bedroom. She picked up the suitcase which was sitting on her bed already packed up and ready to go. She opened her dresser and changed into her black sweatpants with white stripes coming down on each side and a sports bra. She, also, put on a white sport's jacket. She freed her bun and her long, beautiful silky hair ran down to her thighs. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw a woman without a heart. Tanya only has one purpose in life now, what will she do when she's done? What's next? What is her future? She put the thoughts away and quickly brushed her hair. She looked at herself once again and sighed. She saw her short bangs fell forward making her look like her mother in one of the old pictures. She shook of the thought again and took the suitcase and came out of her room.
She stopped in her tracks and looked at her father's room. She put down her suitcase and opened the door. The door creaked as she slowly opened it. She did not go here for years. Everything was left the way it was, she could still see her father's bed fixed properly and his desk was clean from papers. He was always clean. He liked when everything was in order and clean. On the desk, only a picture frame stood there, right in the middle. She came up to it and took it with her shaky hands.
A tear tinkled down her cheek as she saw her father standing in the gym and she, as a little girl, sitting on top of his shoulders showing a big thumbs up, smiling like she just got every wish come true.
A trembling smile appeared on her face as she softly brushed of the dust from it. God…how she wanted to go back, how she missed him so much, it had been too long since she saw him and the pain is now unbearable. She kissed her fingertips and touched the picture slowly and held it against her heart as more tears went down her face. Why? Why? He never deserved to die; he was a good man and a good father. He was a man of love, will and strength. Her and his bond of love was so strong and now…she still loves him even in death but how she misses him. She spent nights crying and crying over the loss of her father's life. Today she thought there were no more tears to cry, she thought she was dried from everything, from life, love, tears, memories, everything. She feels nothing within her but pure hatred. That's all that is left in her now, she's nothing more but a person who is really dead but still lives, with nothing to look up to.
"Reconstruction complete, scanning…" Tanya raised her head as lighting at the muffled voice. She didn't order the computer to do anything? What was that all about? She heard a lot of machinery noises beyond her father's room, behind a bookshelf… Tanya came up to it and put her ear closer. She heard steaming noises and a lot of movement. Tanya frowned and examined the bookshelf. She tried to push it but it wouldn't budge. "Come on…I know something is beyond this wall…" She stepped back and looked around the room.
She jumped and her heart skipped a beat when she heard the door shut close from the breeze. Tanya grabbed her heart as she tried to calm herself down. "I thought they were here." She exhaled a long breath. She looked at the open window and the curtains were raised. She waited until her breathing went back to normal and she walked up to bookshelf but then she froze as she something in the corner of her eye.
She turned to her right, towards the window, and saw nothing but the window itself and the wall. She bit her lower lip and walked up to it just as she saw some sort of a switch hidden on the left side of the desk. She squeezed her arm between the wall and the table and felt a smooth switch. She smiled to herself and pushed it and loud thump was heard behind her.
The bookshelf was moving backwards and a passage was revealed towards the left of the hall. She took a deep breath and went in. There was a dark passage leading downward where blue light can be seen. She walked down the hall cautiously watching her every step, seeing not to make a wrong move. "Cooling process has been completed. Entering the final phase." She heard a computer voice say, sending chills up her spine. She walked up to the corner and a magnificent large room was seen as when she turned. "Wow." She said. She saw so much mechanism working and steam coming out of it. There were long glass containers that looked like clone tanks but nothing were in them.
A screen flickered on that she came up too and saw; "Entering the final phase" was blinking in blue. She stared at weirdly, wondering, what's going on. She heard an electronic movement in the back and she turned to see what it was. She saw sparks fly in the air as they seemed to be installing something.
She covered her eyes with her hand as some of the sparks came her way. The machinery seemed to look like a gun shooting laser onto something. The noise stop and a she heard SSSSHHHHHHHH sound. It sounded like when you put hot iron into a cool water tank. She put her arms away from her eyes and saw a blue suit hanging from a metal clasp. Her eyes widened at the sight. She never had seen anything so beautiful in her life. The suit was divided into two parts. The upper part was like a bathing suit, revealing the shoulders the thighs. For the legs was two very long boots that went up to her hips. The suit had a black mask that covered the mouth and the nose and black glasses were wide and they stretched up to the temple. This suit was amazing. It looked like electricity was running through it when the light hit from different directions.
(a/n: I'm really bad at describing this. Those who don't get it or think this suit sucks, that's because you didn't see. You can get this suit as an upgrade for the UT in the UT center. The team is Aphex and the skin is Portia. I personally think this is a hot suit.)
"Final phase has been completed." The computer said again. Tanya looked at the blinking computer and saw it say, "Project Trinity101 has been completed, one message has been send automatically, to SeaDreamer." SeaDreamer? That was her email. (Not real people. I made it up from my head.) She came up to the computer and opened her email. She saw it was some sort of a movie clip so she had to download it. She clicked on the download button and waited for a few minutes and that's all it took to download. She scanned the file for viruses which had non and then she opened, eagerly.
Her father's face came up on the file. He seemed to be in the same place she is now. "Tanya…" He said to her. "If you are viewing this now, and I never got to tell you about Trinity project, then I must have died. Tanya, I know you seek revenge for I know you know who is after me. Be careful, my child, for being an enemy of Liandri is dangerous. But I have picked my path and so should you. I am sorry I was not there to watch you grow. You must be beautiful now." Tanya started cry silently as she watched the clip in sadness. "You must be beautiful like your mother. Tanya, no matter what happened I want you to live a happy life. I want you to free your soul from hate. But I know…you seek revenge. If I knew this sooner, I would've never started to make the project. The project was made for you to take my place as Champion at the tournament when would get too old. But now…I guess you will use it to rise to your rightful place. Tanya…just remember. Whatever path you will choose I will be with you all the way. Use this suit to fight in the tournament. It has upgrades on it. It's not just a suit. It's more of like an armor. It has speed, so you ran faster; it pumps up blood faster so you were at the top of your power all the time. The mask helps you inhale more oxygen and breath in a normal rate all the time." He paused to look back and then he continued. "The glasses help you see in X-Ray vision. Your foes cannot hide from you. You can switch vision modes by touching the side of your glasses. The modes are night-vision, infrared vision, x-ray and normal. Use this suit for good, Tanya. I trust you…once you get up to Xan and defeat him, I trust you…that you will shut down the tournament. Please, do what is right. I leave everything in your hands, my love. Please forgive me that I'm not there to guide you anymore, but I will be there, for you, always. I love you. Good luck, Crystal eyes."
Tanya's heart sank when she heard his last words and she collapsed on the floor. She wept like never before. "Why? Why did you do this to me!? I haven't done anything! Why was I cursed by this!? Why did you take him away!? Why, why?" She started to cry so much. She put her hands up to her eyes and started to cry even more.
A door chime was heard and she looked up with her teary eyes. She knew who it was, it was the Liandri, and they have found her. She stood up and wiped the last of her tears and looked at the suit again. "Project Trinity101." She repeated the words. Tanya's squeezed her knuckles hard as an evil grin appeared on her face. She hardened her resolve and her goal was set…
