-CHAPTER VI: My Enemey, My Pride-
It's been 2 hours since I had been sitting here. It makes me wonder if anything is going to reveal itself. I am having trouble staying awake. It sure is boring. I quickly hurled myself into the corner behind a stack of boxes as I saw a figure come towards me from the hall I had come from. It was a human. This human had on a black trenchcoat that was masking his build. He had long black hair with red streaks on his bangs. The same kind of red that is on my quills. I couldn't shake the feeling he looked familiar. I kept my eye upon him as he entered the mess hall. I could see from my current position that the robots welcomed him. He was obviously apart of this "team" that is holding evreyone hostage. I heard his evil voice through the walls.
"Hello, my pathetic friends. Remember me?" I looked in and saw Dr. Kintobar lift his head up.
"Lance! My associate! How dare you take us hostage!" I could tell Dr. Kintobar was furious.
The man who is revealed as Lance looked him directly. "Keep your mouth shut old man."
Dr. Kintobar gave him a glare and did as told. Lance looked back at evreyone. "I am going to kill you all now and use your research projects as my own findings and collect the money when I land this space lab in 3 hours. It's already on a landing course."
My ears flinched. Did he say "kill"? That was it. These people gave me life and I was gonna make sure they kept theres. I dashed out from my corner and dashed through the double doors causing them to explode into pieces. Evreyone turned to look and Lance gave me a smirk. "Ah, my dear Shadow. I was observing you when you were still a single cell!"
I didn't say anything. I gave my coldest and most hate-filled look I could. I slowly walked into the center of the room. By relfex the robots turned to me. They all flung towards me and drew out there weapons. From evreyone elses point of view I was losing. But I would never be done in so easily. I forced my anger into my punches as I punched holes into these robots. Strange, how easily all these robots were defeated. I ran towards the last one but it caught me off guard. It turned quickly and used it's mettalic hand to knock me flying. I quickly jumped up and rubbed my head. He pulled out his gun and fired at me…and missed. His aim was way off. "UGH!"
My pride was cut off as I heard a female scream. I turned to realize at my horror that he had perfect aim…he was not aiming at me. My eyes widened and I didn't move as I stared at Maria's quiet and motionless body. I ran as hard as I could and lifted her up. I rested her head onto my knee. How could I have let this happened?! "Maria…please…tell me you are alright!"
She coughed hard and gave me a smile. "Thanks…for being my friend…Shadow…" She gave me a wink and her head fell backwards. I heard her draw in her last breathe. I layed her down with ease. And something strange happened to me. A drop of water fell from my eye onto her. What was that? I was experience more emotions than I ever have before…hate…anger…and most of all…sadness…and none of this was over just yet.
