Chapter eight: Sanctuary's loss
One week had passed and there were no news of Shalimar, nore Lexa. Brennan and Jesse had been ignoring the whole Echkart-Adam working together situation, and decided to work on The Dominion and that supposed Destroyer guy.
"So... how's that going?" A very impacient Brennan said as he paced up and down.
"Brennan just calm down.. I can't work like this.." Jesse said in a sort of angry tone.
"Im sorry man, I just.. There has been a week.. a whole entire damn week and nothing about them.. and seeing Echkart here.. not helping bro.." Brennan said hitting hard the wall.
"You're just hurting yourself. I already tried several times contacting the girls but they seemed to have turned off their comrings... They are so dead when they come back.." Jesse said in a threaten and angry tone again.
"IF they come back." Brennan corrected. He left the room. He was extremly worried about Shalimar and Lexa. He passed the rec room and headed to the lab in order to have a talk with Adam. On his way he didn't notice Echkart's presence. The man caught one of Brennan's arms and stopped his way.
"Mr Mulwray, where exactly do you think you're going?" Echkart said as he looked at the elemental's angry expression.
"If you wanna keep that hand of yours.. I advice you to get it off me.. NOW!" Brennan said again furious.
"Fine, have it your way Mr Mulwray, but you cannot get further than this." He said getting in his way. Brennan loved the challenge.
"Hey.. I killed you once, I can do it again.." Brennan said desafiantly.
"I take that yor're still angry at me for.. ah... torturing you? experimenting on you? Taking advantage of your secret love for that..." Echkartt was shut. Brennan had his one hand on Mason's neck and slamming him against the wall he started choking him.
"What the hell is happening? What are YOU doing here? And why is Adam acting so damn cool about it?" Brennan pronounced each word carefully. He waited with lack of pacience for his answers.
"Brennan! Look what I found!" Jesse's voice interrupted them. Brennan sighed and looked at his direction. He looked at Echkart again and moaned something about finishing that later. He released him as he hurt himself badly while crashing onto the floor. Brennan ignored that and headed towards Jesse quickly.
"What is it Jesse?" Brennan asked desperated.
"Apparently our best friend The Dominion, ran some kind of secret operative under the name of T.D..." Jesse started. Brennan didnt have to think much to get it.
"The Destroyer? Oh man! It has been hanging out there this whole time.. T.D.. The Dominion, The Destroyer... and what was it about?" Brennan asked more interested in the new discovery.
"They took the mutants and brainwashed them... sort of.." Jesse said again not very sure.
"What do you mean brainwash?" Brennan asked as he grew in concern and curiosity.
"They inserted some kind of chip in one mutant... his name.. oh dear god..." Jesse didn't finish.
"What? who??? Jesse!" Brennan was getting nervious.
"Gabriel Ashlocke." Jesse finished.
"What??" Brennan said as surprised and confused as someone could sound. " They brainwashed Ashlocke? Meaning his out there living, kicking and brainwashed? Is he The Destroyer? Shalimar!" Brennan thought all this at once.
"Yes.. he seems to be that Destroyer they talked about... we have to warn Shalimar and Lexa.. and Adam and... Adam." Jesse avoided the fact Mason Echkart was there.
"Im going for her." Brennan said as he started leaving.
"Wait Brennan! You can't just appear in there! Let me arrange things.. just wait a couple of days at least, so they can come up with something to justifie our presence there or something.. you're very impulsive." Jesse said as he typed some things and stared at the screen.
"Fine.. 2 days.. Ashlocke.. the destroyer.. damn!" Brennan muttered on his way to his room. Jesse stood up all night investigating on the projects The Dominion was involved in.
( )
Almoast 2 hours had passed and that made 1 am, Jesse still working on the research thing. He read and read very carefully the material and found nothing, again. Then he heard some sort of nice coming from Sanctuary's entrance. Hesitatenly he stood up and slowly walked towards the place. He looked everywhere and found nothing.
"Guess this all night work thing is tiring me up.. Im going crazy.." He said as he returned to the computer. Suddenly a messagge box opened in the middle of the screen and his researching. Jesse read the lines and froze. Immediately he stood up again, not realising in his rushing he dropped everything he had on the desk and tripped several times with everything that separated his way from the lab.
"Adam!!! ADAM!!! Open up quickly!!!" Jesse shouted insanely. Adam opened the door with a confused look.
"What's happening Jesse? What are you doing still up at this times?" Adam asked as he let him in.
"We have to get the hell out of here! Now!!! Lets get Brennan!" Jesse said. He rose his comring and started speaking. "Brennan!!! Get to the lab immediately!!! Wake up damnit!"
"Jesse could you calm down and tell me what the hell is going on?" Adam said as he tried to calm the molecular's insanity.
"They're coming for us Adam! I was researching about the Dominion and the destroyer's project when I heard a noise... Oh god.. THEY ARE ALREADY HERE!" Jesse added.
"Mr Kilmartin try saying a whole sentence without starting shaking or tremling please, we are not getting what you're trying to say here.." Echkart said crossing arms.
"I was doing some research about the dominion when I heard a noise, I checked it and it was nothing, then I came back and the screen.. there was a messagge box saying.." Jesse was interrupted.
"Big bang.. are you quick enough to run?" A voice said through all Sanctuary.
"Hey.. I heard you Jess... what's going on?" A sleepy Brennan asked as he gathered with the team.
"The destroyer is here!" Jesse informed for the 4th time.
"Gabriel Ashlocke is here? Good then we'll keep him around here..." Brennan said strolling his knuckles. Adam started leaving and heading towards the computer room. He downloaded some files quickly and started destroying everything in Sanctuary.
"what do you think you're doing?" Brennan asked confused.
"Sanctuary is not safe anymore." Adam said taking the files he got and getting rid of everything. "Brennan, Jesse, go to the garage and take a car."
"But.." Brennan started. Jesse grabbed his arm and started dragging him when some ropes fell from the ceiling. A bunch of men came down them and reached the floor filling Sanctuary with their presence.
"Hey Adam.. maybe we'll take a little longer taking that car..." Brennan said. He started fighting the men, kicking and shooting his electricity. Jesse joined him as he phased some of them and hit the rest. But more and more were coming down, and Brennan realised that. He stopped fighting and backed off a little bit.
"Brennan I could really use some help in here.." Jesse said ironically since he was the one fighitng. Echkart and Adam were still destroying everything and just returning to the rec room where they found the men.
"Oh god.." Adam started. He stared at Brennan who seemed to be thinking of something to do.
"Get out..." Brennan said coldly.
"What? and leave you all the fun? I dont think so.." Jesse said kicking a man. Brennan approached him and dragged him out of the fight.
"Go and take that car.. I'll handle them." Brennan said again.
"C'mon Brennan this is no time for jokes.." Jesse said.
"No.. he is serious." Adam said as he did what Brennan told.
"What? we're leaving him here?" Jesse asked confused.
"He seems to know what he is doing." Echkart answered following Adam.
"Well I know im not leaving." Jesse stood there. Brennan started forming a tesla coil.
"Jesse you have to get out.. otherwise.. you're dead man.." Brennan adviced as the tesla coil grew and grew. Its shape was different from everything they had shown mutant x. It was silver and mostly weird.
"Brennan?" Jesse called confused.
"Jesse GET OUT!" Brennan demanded. Suddenly both hands were busy in the tesla coil, making it bigger and bigger. The men stood far away from it knowing their best.
"Would you be okay?" Jesse asked Brennan.
"Wait for me outside." He assured Jesse as he shouted in pain. "NOW... OUT!" Jesse left running and caught Adam and Echkart in the car. He jumped in as Adam started the engine.
"This is way more painful than I ... thought.." Brennan said to himself as the tesla coil finally reached the shape he wanted. The men were now approaching thinking Brennan wouldn't attack in that state, then Brennan shot the tesla coil as a white sylver light filled all Sanctuary. It reached even Adam, Jesse and Echkart.
"Brennan.." Adam said worried.
( )
"Brennan!!!!" Shalimar shouted and woke up. She was sweating and was finding breathing very hard. Lexa was asleep next to her on the other bed and didn;t seem to notice her waking. Shalimar sat on her own bed and thought of what she had just dreamed. Then, Lexa's eyes opened.
"Shalimar? What are you doing now??" Lexa asked in a cranky tone.
"Its Brennan... I can feel something its not okay.." Shalimar said worried.
"What do you mean? Shalimar it only passed one week and you're missing him already? We got nothing from this gang, even the leader is an ex coworker of The Dominion.. we gotta try better.. maybe its time for you to stop thinking about the elemental and just focus damnit!" Lexa kept her voice down but same tone.
"Lexa, I have a bad feeling! Just let me check they're fine!" Shalimar kept her voice down too but angry tone. She turned her comring on and spoke. "Brennan?... Jess? Adam?" No response. Now Lexa started worrying too.
"Okay that just didn't go quite well.." Lexa said to her.
"Now you trust me.. we gotta get back." Shalimar said standing up but a door knocking stopped her. She headed to the door of their room and softly kinda sleepy asked.
"Who is it?"
"Shalimar, Lexa.. we got you a job girls.." A man said from the other side of the door. Shalimar opened it letting him in.
"you look beautiful.." He said to Shalimar, then he took a glance at Lexa. "you too."
"Thanks... now.. what job did you got us?" Lexa asked sweetly.
"A simple one: we're gonna torture some prisioners T.D captured just minutes ago..." The man said gladly.
"Oh.. okay... and when are we gonna meet T.D?" Shalimar asked evens sweetier than Lexa.
"Boss doesn't know you two are in.. so after doing this job you'll be introduced to him..." The man said again. "And Lexa... good to have you in this side.."
"Its where I belong.. Digger." Lexa answered. The man left them and they both looked at each other. "We can't leave now Shalimar.."
"I have to know they are alright.." Shalimar protested.
"Hey, im worried too, but now its too late to back off... after this job we'll meet that T.D guy and then maybe.. we'll find Emma.. and bring her back to herself.." Lexa said as she sat on her bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Fine... but im telling you.. im not liking this.. any of it.." The feral protested again and lied on her bed. Quickly her eyes were closed and she started thinking about Brennan. Whatever happened to him, it wasn't good.
END OF CHAPTER EIGHT
Author Notes: Hey there again, im happy this fic is finally taking the way I wanted... cause you gotta admitt at the begining it was all a big mess of disasters and nothing concrete.. now we got a better picture of the problem... and maybe in about 3 or 4 more chapters this will be all done... For Emma shippers: im sorry she wasn't in this chapter at all, but she will have an important role in the next ones... Jesse/Lexa shippers, I apologised since I didn;t develop their relationship quite enough, but I will I promise.. Shal/Bren shippers, we all want more I know, so more will come... Next Chapter: Brennan's powers are growing amazingly, Sanctuary is taken by The Dominion. Ashlocke is back in the game and seems to know something about Shalimar's feelings towards Brennan and he is not liking it. Meanwhile, Adam and Echkart starts gathering forces when The Dominion takes down Genomex too... they're going into a war.. Well that's the summary.. reviews are accepted... lol Paris
