CHAPTER 10
Specter of FATE
The Hunters were rounded up and placed in holding cells in the lower levels of the SE-GA compound....all but ZERO, who had escaped at the last second.
"Hmph......There has gotta be a way outta here!" Squall said, blasting away at the containment field for the twetyeth time in the past ten minutes....with no effect.
"Squall...." Montague said. Squall looked at him. "Stop it." Montague told him. Squall began clawing at the walls now.
One of the Mass-Pro Metroid uints arrived, looking balefully at the Hunters, and distainfully at Squall, it aimed a rather wiked looking rifle at them. "Montague, this unit was sent to retrieve you. Master wishes to speak to you." It said to him. It walked through the energy shield and grabbed the Doctor by the arm and dragged him with it through the shield.
Squall charged at the shield and hit it full force, the energy field washing over him as he almost got through it. Several Guards came and shoved him back through.
Sean stared at the wall......just staring at it.....he began to see several weaknesses in it, key points where if he were to even tap it, it mights collapse. Human imprecision would make it very dificult to do, but he shrugged and decided to give it a try...but he was going to make sure he did it right, with a bang.
The wall exploded suddenly, in an eruption of light-blasted stone. The others turned to look at the source of the loud sound, seeing Sean walking out of a hole in the wall.
"What the hell!?" one of the Guards said, in shock, just before he was greeted by a fireball to the crotch. That Guard fell, cluching a place that shall not be spoken of now in utter pain and agony. Squall whirled around the corner and tackled the other Guard, biting the man in the arm, at the wrist, causing him to drop his gun. Sean cast a weak Grants on them both to knock them out, then they proceded to make a run for the other cell, where Sarah, David, and Elenor were being held. Sounds of fighting could be heard from above them, screams of terror and panic.
Sean pushed it all out of his mind, and continued with his objective, releasing the others. He managed to crack the code for the lock, and the Shield collapsed. "Lets find the Doctor!" Sean said. "Good idea, Elenor, can you track his location?" Squall asked her. "yes. he is on the top floor, with Shackle." Elenor said to them. "Roger that, Lets MOVE OUT!" Squall ordered and they headed for the stairs that lead to the courtyard where the fighting was taking place.
As they arrived, they could see blurs dashing about, a white and grey one seemed to be outpacing, and outfighting, the other red and blue ones. Guards lay unconcious on the ground, or cowering behind statues and other objects.One blur, a red and blue one streaked toward the Hunters. Time seemed to slow for Sean, but he was getting used to this now, and he was ready, as he grabbed a card from his pocket and it became a Battle Verge, he waited until he could see its face, then, he swung the mighty staff and whacked it across the face, knocking it to the ground.
As he was about to finish it, a dark beam rained down from somewhere, burning into it and causing it to disolve into dust.
A sinister, floating man appeared above Sean, looking at him with distain. "Hybrids." the man said in disgust, before hitting another one of the Metroid units with the same attack, bringing it down as well.
Squall saw another of the Androids and lept onto it. he grabbed its right arm and melted the limb at the shoulder. He then ripped the left arm off and began hitting it in the head with its arm. After it fell, he grabbed it by one leg and spun for a second before sending it sailing at a window on the top floor of the General Aerodyne building, right where Shackle was surveying the fight.
Shackle stepped back a few feet to avoid being hit by a deactivated Android, as it shot through the glass window. "heh heh heh.....Squall's mad at you!" Montague said mockingly at her.
"Shut-" She began before a Hunter with brown hair walked into the room, he had ragged uniform of a Hunter, that looked like it had seen a war, and his hair has cut short and roughly, like he had done it himself without a mirror or anything else to see with.
"Release Montague or I'll dice ya up, lady!" the unknown man said, in a ragged, but somehow familliar voice....
Montague saw a broken Section ID badge where there should have been a specific one displayed.
The man drew an Elysion from his belt and activated it. The man fixed his green eyes on Shackle, who was suddenly finding herself unable to move.....
"Get out of here, Doctor." the man said.
Montague stood his ground, studying him. "Get going." the man insisted. Montague shrigged, then ran for the open doors, stopping before vanishing into the hall.
He turned toward the man, who was now looking at him with green eyes that were very familliar, but from where the Doctor could not begin to guess. Montague then got a funny feeling about the guy, like he knew him from somewhere else.....and then it hit him like a ton of bricks.
"its....you...." he said...
"Yes.....now get outta here before the REAL enemy arrives!" the man said.
Montague heeded his warning, and rushed for the main group, who was now on their way to find him.
They met in the foyer of the General Aerodyne building. "Lets get outta here!" Montague said.
They left, quickly.
"Hm..........he was always like that, smart...but ditsy.......hm......time to get out of here." the man said to himself. He nooded politely to Shackle, before setting a telepipe and escaping quickly, the telepipe colapsing after he had used it.
