Today! Today! TODAY! Im finally going to get to see KOS-MOS awaken! Chief Winnicot just got back an hour ago and were preparing for the awakening! Oh, this is going to be amazing! Ive had been here only for a few days, and im already going to get to see something this amazing happen! Its seems almost surreal, being accepted into the First Division on such short notice, and being able to work on KOS-MOS for such a short time, but I get to see her awakening!
"Its almost time!" Shion squealed. Sheryl came into the room with a frustrated look.
"I get to watch, after all im part of the project to!" Chief Winnicot nodded and waved for her to go over to her station.
"Okay, check the last bit of Data and make sure everything is going smoothly!" We nodded and hurried through the data. Two men came with guns, probably just in case KOS-MOS went berserk, which she so couldn't.
"Anytime," Chief Winnicot muttered. He hurried over to Shion and kissed her.
"Remember, Ill always love you." Shion gave him a weird look. He was beginning to scare me. The door swished open again, probably just some more security guards, so I didn't bother looking. I heard someone fall, and then I looked. Oh, mother of GOD!
"Everyone stay put! Don't move or we will harm you!" A man in purple and black yelled. A man came behind me and made me put my arms behind my head, same with everyone else. He took out a connection gear that was all to familiar to me.
"KOS-MOS NO!" Shion and I screamed. The man hit me on my head, but it didn't hurt that bad. It was storming outside, thunder crashed and lightning flashed. Oh great, now im a poet! The bed opened and the bindings steamed. KOS-MOS' sat up quickly and her head twitched violently, much like it did in the Encephalon. She jumped out on all fours and attacked another man wearing purple and black. He fell over dead. We all cowered and ran away. KOS-MOS jumped for Sheryl next. She jumped out of the way, but KOS-MOS caught her and pounced on her chest, causing her lungs to fall. I ran for Mark and he held my hand. Together we ran to the back of the room, only to be seen by KOS-MOS! Oh crap, will I never get to go out with Mark again? She ran for us and Mark got in front of me.
"NO!" I pushed him to the side and put up my right arm. She slashed it, causing some of the fake skin to fall off, revealing glowing blue thingies inside.
"Over here!" Someone shouted. KOS-MOS turned away from us and ran for Shion and Chief Winnicot. He, like Mark got in front of Shion willingly and KOS-MOS stuck her hand in his stomach. He fell to the ground bleeding. Shion knelt down beside him and although KOS-MOS could of killed Shion right there, she went for Candie, Fredric and Amy, who suffered the same fait as Chief Winnicot. I just stood there next to Mark trembling. I heard the sobs of Shion. The man, who barked out the orders, ran outside and KOS-MOS ran after him. While she was outside doing god knows what, Shion pulled out a gun that Kevin had on his belt. KOS-MOS came back inside crawling on all fours. She saw me and twitched her head. She jumped after me but Mark jumped to stop her. She flung him off into a generator and lunged for me.
BANG
Shion had shot KOS-MOS in the head, causing her to fall down inches before me.
"Whhhhhhhaaaa.." I couldn't move, I was to stunned. Behind me, I could hear something sizzling. I looked in terror. Mark was laying dead. The electrical currents had killed him.
"Shion!" I yelled running to her. We were both crying insanely. I saw something gleaming on Chief Winnicot's neck. She ripped his necklace off and put it on her neck.
"You were supposed to get married next month!" I whispered. Shion nodded. I stood up, but I wobbled a little. I walked over to Mark and I grinned.
"I will always remember you," I sighed. Something was in his hand. I opened it up and I gasped. It was a beautiful necklace with a heart made out of pink diamonds. I picked it up, and like Shion put it on. My arm, which I now realized was shaking with electrical currents.
"Shion, what just happened?" I quivered. She shook her head.
"Everyone is, gone." Ws all she said. I fell to my knees and cried. The door opened, and I expected more murder, but it was some Realians.
"What happened?" One asked checking my arm. Then it checked on Shion.
"These men, came in here and started up KOS-MOS and she killed everyone." Was all I could say before I fell unconscious.
