PREY II: End of Era

Chapter 15

One in a Million

The intercom crackled and a strong female voice cried, "Fools do you think that you can stand up to my 'soul mate' he he heheheh!"

First the silence, then the screams, panic swept over the crowd in the tight corridor. One scientist had an old laptop and was looking at it, Nicole came over to him, "What'cha looking at?" she said.

He didn't look up but said, "Come closer look at this!"

On the screen it showed a map of the base, a red and grey mass was moving through the corridors, grey dead bodies litter the corridors but then as the mass passed over the dead bodies, the colour changed from red to grey. "What? just happened?"

"What happened is what you saw; Soul takes over the body like a suit. It uses some of the organs to spawn more of itself!"

Nicole clutched her gun tightly and took a deep breath, "How did you contain it before this?"

"Oh, we keep it in RAP!"

"You employed a rap artist?"

"Oh! No, Ray Absorbing Plasma"

"How can we make that?"

"Well we need a bit of anti-matter"

"How much?"

"Oh……we're going to need a lot!"

"Anything else, we can do!" No-one said anything, most of the physicists turned away, "C'mon you all do physics as a profession, and you must know something!" Nicole was frustrated, she didn't know much but she was trying, these bastards just stuck their tail between their legs and whimpered.

One scientist from the back came to the front, he had blond spiky hair, "Omega-upsilon was created to destroy Soul if it ever came out, of course he went, but if…Ghost is in the same dimension we have a chance! But that's one in…million!"

Meanwhile in another dimension, the sun was beating down on the small group of two adults and six teenagers, sweat was pouring from their pores, save Omega who was used to the weather. Soon they saw a fence that seemed to stretch for thousands of miles. Looking at it made their feet sore, and Omega began teasing them by walking at a faster pace. Just like a child thought Ghost glumly. A small wooden house, "Well there it is, the place I call home!"

Ghost smiled, "Did you kill anybody for it?

Omega gave that 'we are not amused' look and Ghost just sneered back.

"Well it's out in the open so I can't do what I was made to do!"

One of the kids looked up from his shoes, "What were you made for?"

"Killin' people, of course!" and he laughed.

Ghost gave a small 'o God I'm keeping a big secret' cough.

Omega noticed, "What's wrong? Sand in your lungs?"

"Hah! Eh……..It's…um… about your sorta….eh… purpose"

"Leave till we get inside, it's too hot to find out huge secrets nnnnnnooooooowwwww, emphasizing the last word.

"I guess your right" and Ghost gave a huge sigh of relief. Maybe this wasn't as bad as he thought.
