Illusion or Reality-Chapter 9

Midii stared out in the darkness. Although she didn't see anything, she had the idea that something-lots of them are around her and Relena; surrounding them. After she shot on her left, she had the feeling that something had moved. Midii listened for some more until she did something stupid, so stupid it's like telling her enemies 'I am here, come out and kill me'. But she has to know; what she's against. How was she able to fight her enemies that she can't even see?

Midii took a deep breath and opened her backpack with one hand, never glanced at her backpack. She didn't want Osteosis or whatever it is to take an advantage. She reached down until she pulled something out. She gave her rifle to Relena as she snapped her glow stick. Relena fasten her left hand with the rope at the end of the flashlight. Who knows she might needed two hands for the up coming events. The green glow quickly appeared. Midii shook the stick to make the stick grow brighter. She took a few steps back as she charged forward towards the water and threw.

The glow stick entered the water with a poop, at the lower level, a several meters away from the girls.

They saw it.

Bodies, thousands of black smooth bodies were all around the hall in front of Midii and Relena. They were in the water, up the ceiling and on the wall. They looked like they belonged to the family of reptiles since they have a long tail and walked with four legs. They were moving away from the grow, retreating back into the darkness.

"Relena," Midii said quietly. "Give me the rifle and take my revolver on the ground. On the count of three we run."

Relena nodded and put the heat detector in her pocket and picked up the revolver. She looked behind her nervously as Midii began to count.

"One, two.three!"

Relena and Midii quickly turned around and ran away from the staircase. The 'black reptiles' who have finally realized that their target was trying to escape, quickly chased after them.

Relena turned to her left as Midii followed. Her legs were getting tired, not long she was slowing down. She felt like she was suffocating, I can't run anymore. In front there was a metal ladder not far in front. She was thinking whether or not should she go up the ladder.

"Go up." Midii commanded, she knew that the 'black reptiles' were chasing closely them. From the echo of footsteps behind her, she knew that it wouldn't take long till they catch up.

That helped Relena to make the decision.

Relena put the side of the revolver's barrel in her mouth and bit onto it as she held onto the two vertical bars with both of her hands. She quickly started to climb the ladder. Her legs don't seem to be able to move up another step, but after she heard Midii started firing with her rifle. She forced herself to.

"Midii!!" Relena cried breathlessly after she climbed up the ladder and kneeled on the upper floor leaning over the opening.

Midii took a quickly look above as she shoot rapidly, trying to make enough time for herself to go up. She pulled the trigger, and nothing happened. She pulled the trigger a few times. The hollow click of the gun was the response.

The rifle was out of bullet.

Relena could never forget the surprise look on Midii's face; as she stood there, looking at the rifle.

"Midii come on!!" Relena exclaimed.

Midii snapped back to reality and threw the rifle to the closest advancing reptile, hitting it in its head. She grabbed onto a bar and started climbing up as fast as she could. Still she was not as quick as the reptiles. One of them jumped up from the ground and was about to bite into Midii's right leg.

"Eat this!" Relena shouted, picking up the revolver at her side and pulled the trigger; aiming at the reptile's mouth.

The reptile who was about to close its mouth was pushed back by the force of the bullet. It fell onto the ground with a 'thud'. As the other reptiles came close, they all turned their heads toward the dying reptile and devoured. They seemed to have forgotten that the dying reptile was one of their own, as they ate hungrily and quickly; while many others joined.

Midii and Relena watched as they ate, till Relena turned away since can't stand the sight and the odor anymore. Midii slid the heavy metal lid into place and sat down for a rest. Relena soon join her and jumped as she heard a loud 'bang' from the metal lid.

"Let's get out of here." Midii said, pushing herself up. Relena nodded.

This is gonna be a long day.

"So you wanted us to save Midii huh." Duo said, looking pass his shoulder as he walked down the hall. "Where exactly are they."

"They are in the lab room." Allan explained. "The best biological and chemists doctors in the world from all over the world were hired to do a research-to explore the human brain."

"And?" Wufei said impatiently, he needed to find a way to get everyone out of here. Especially Sally and Merian. Then what? Now that Merian is still alive and well, he can't want to see his family and relatives' expressions when they found out what happened. Even though he was happy, he was surprised that there was something different. Something wrong about his feelings..

"We are here." Allan said as he stopped in front of a metal door. He pressed a few buttons on the computer keyboard on his left and the door slid opened; quietly and quickly. He entered the room after he noticed that no one was around.

Herro pulled out his pistol from his black leather jacket and set foot into the room along with Trowa. He can't believe that Misalead didn't take his firearm away. He was probably too proud of his own security system that he wouldn't even mind if they escaped and quickly doubted it. Somehow he got a feeling that Mislead let them go. He couldn't shake of the suspicion that they were led into the exact trap which Misalead had planned for them to fall in.

There were two floors in the room, with a transparent room that seemed to be made out of glass. Inside it was dark; the only light was from monitors in that room. There was a glass door at one of the side.

"Stand back," Allan ordered. "I'll have to hack into the computer system in order to open the door. If the information is right, then Midii and Relena should be in there." Allan quickly looked at the computer and started typing in some codes.

The others waited impatiently as they heard the typing sound of the keyboard as Allan typed. Finally Herro ran out of his patients. He got up and walked toward Allan, ignoring the look of disapproval from the others.

"Excuse me Allan, let me try it." Herro said as he gave a cold death glare.

Allan moved out of the way almost instantly. "I can't open the door, the lock is too." His sentence was interrupted by the sound of the gate's lock moving, soon the door opened. Allan nodded his head and looked admirably at Herro and the others. "No wonder you guys are the gundam pilots." Allan was the first one that went into the glass room. He turned on the light as everyone gasped.

Inside, Relena and Midii laid on two separate metal plates; each of them have electrical wires attached all over their body.
