Chapter 15, 75% finished.
The scene opens up to an underground computer room. One side of the room has a giant supercomputer, the other side of the room is a viewing glass overlooking a giant circular cage. A door to the right leads to the cage. The entire room shakes for a bit and then the ceiling gives way.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Multiple screams were heard from the ceiling hole.
Then the group was seen falling through the hole.
"Aaarcch!" Everyone reacted from hitting the floor.
"Oh man, this hurts." Kitty exclaimed.
"As if falling from a mountain wasn't painful enough." Emma stated.
"At least we're still alive." Owen says.
"Wait a minute, where are we?" Heather asks.
"Umm, I'm not sure." Gwen answered.
"I think this is some sort of computer room." Noah states.
The group got up and surveyed the area. Shawn walked towards the viewing glass and saw the top of the cage was lined with hanging bodies and there were stairs leading deeper down the cage.
"Ugh, creepy." He remarked. "Hey guys, look at this."
The group walked to the glass to see what he was talking about.
"What happened to them?" Kitty asks.
"I think it's some sort of feeding ground." Emma states.
"Hopefully these are death row inmates." Gwen says.
"What part of that sentence makes this situation even remotely hopeful." Heather asks.
"I think we're at the factory of it all." Shawn states.
Noah looks back at the supercomputer and sighs.
"I'm gonna try something." Noah says.
He walks towards the computer and sits down on the office chair.
"What are you doing, buddy?" Owen asks.
"I'm gonna check more of the information of these attacks." Noah states.
"Wait, this has happened before?" Emma asks.
"A couple AMS agents we met told us that this has happened at least 4 times already." Gwen explains.
"It says here that they've attacked the DBR mansion, the city of Venice twice, and Thornheart Mansion, all thwarted by the AMS."
"This is one of the instances where even at least a few of something is too much." Kitty remarked.
"I agree." Shawn says.
As Noah was going deeper into the secrets into the supercomputer, he managed to reach a file that says "Creature Files and Attack Logs". He clicked on the file and began searching.
"I don't like where this is going." Kitty says.
"Oh, I absolutely agree." Owen says.
"Check this one." Gwen points at a file that says "A-Class creatures".
He clicked on it and it showed 4 files of creatures, "The Magician", "The Emperor", "The World" and "The Moon".
"Guys, call this a hunch, but I think we have found the alphas." Noah states.
"Try the Magician first." Emma states.
Noah clicked on the file but then it gave a warning. The screen said "File Corrupted!".
"Great." Noah snarked.
"Try another one." Shawn said.
He then clicked on the file for "The Emperor". The screen then showed what it looked like. A silver humanoid with a red glowing gem on its chest. The only other way it's distinguished is the two spikes on the back of its head and the dozen silver balls appearing to orbit around the creature.
"Wow, this thing can pack a punch." Gwen says as she reads the description under the picture. "Aside from Flight, Strength and Endurance, it has the ability to morph the silver balls into weapons?"
"Try the World next." Kitty says.
Noah clicks on the file and it shows them what it looks like. The upper area was seen sticking out of a triangular platform. The body itself is reflective and gives off an insect vibe. The body is skinny and has a glowing red heart exposed on its chest. It has insect wings on the back and the head looks like that of a fly.
"Ugh, this thing looks like an insect." Heather remarks.
"It says here it once reached a second stage." Noah says.
The second stage of The World looked mostly the same as the first stage. The only difference is that it has spider legs on its back and it's slightly more reddish.
"Both of these stages look disgusting." Heather says.
"Wait till you hear what it can do." Gwen says. "It says here it can manipulate ice for both offence and defence. The second stage includes ice dragons."
"Great balls of fire!" Owen yelled. "Ice dragons?!"
"Yes. Ice dragons." Gwen says. "Do the last one now."
"On it." Noah says.
The last file shows what The Moon looks like. It looks like a giant humanoid creature with a body composed of both wood and muscle with three glowing red eyes and a set of eagle wings.
"So, what does this Groot wannabe do." Shawn asks.
"It says here it can focus energy into massive blasts." Gwen explains.
"Guys, I think we're not looking at the bigger picture here." Heather says.
"What do you mean?" Emma asks.
"If these things have appeared during the past 4 attacks, then something like that might appear in this one." Heather explains.
"Heather's right." Gwen says. "We can't just run and hide. We need to put a stop to this."
"This is turning from what looks like a zombie apocalypse into battles with powerful god-like biengs." Shawn says. "This is something I didn't expect."
"Well then, let's go." Emma says.
The group runns out the door and into the area between the computer room and the cage with a door to the rest of the facility to the right. Suddenly a boulder broke off which surprised Gwen and Heather into jumping through the door of the cage. Suddenly the door closed, trapping them in.
"What the?!" Heather exclaimed.
"Gwen! Heather!" Owen yelled.
Suddenly, a shrill screech coming from somewhere in the cage. When they looked they see something crawling at them by the cage walls. A sloth-like creature with sharp claws and a skull-like face. Despite it's appearance, this creature looks energetic, aggressive and fast.
"What the heck is that!" Emma yells.
Gwen takes out her PDA and begins scanning…
Fool
Type: 0028
Weakpoint: Claws
"This is one feisty sloth!" Gwen yells.
"Run!" Heather yells.
The two start running down the stairs as Fool began to give chase.
"It's too fast for them to run and shoot at the same time." Shawn states. "We need to do something fast!"
"Pull this open!" Owen yells.
The group then began to pull the door away with a lot of stuggles.
"Guys!" Shawn yells. "Run to the door!"
"This thing is still trying to get us!" Gwen yells.
Suddenly, Fool stopped and began shaking the cage.
"What's it doing?" Heather asks.
"Quick, now's our chance." Gwen says.
They run past the creature still shaking the cage and then the hanging bodies began falling. One body landed in front of the two.
"Oh man, this one stinks." Gwen exclaimed.
The two continue running up the stairs. Fool finished shaking the cage and then began it's chase again.
The door became open again.
"Guys, quickly!" Kitty yelled.
The two ran through the door and the group let the door close. When the creature saw its targets escape, it began shaking up the cage again.
"Man, this one's feisty." Gwen explained.
"Let's just go." Heather said.
