Chapter 4: Koga

Blaine

The door was locked. I was trapped. It was a very small and thin room with two grates on either side, but above me in an office I could see the bastard in a control room above me. The smarmy shit waved at me, grinned and pulled a lever. At that moment the grates secreted cement, gallons every second, it was up to my neck within two minutes, I could feel it hardening at my feet, spreading the feeling through me until it reached my mouth. My last sight was professor Birch's wicked grin, before my vision was clouded by the cement.

Lance

I raised my pistol; the room I entered was a lift floor. "Loreli!" I called back to her "Come through!" Loreli came into the lift, and screamed. I hadn't noticed it before. In the corner of the lift, was a corpse. But this corpse was mutilated beyond belief. There was barely any flesh left inside its carcass, but its eyes were left, wide and staring. The bones were littered with cuts digging into the marrow; it had been ripped to pieces by something.

"Lance" Loreli whispered timidly, I looked over and she pointed towards the floor. Here I saw the bodies of hundreds of thousands of Beedrill. Squashed to death, by flying into the lift it seemed as behind their bodies was a lift shaft leading down into the darkness.

"Loreli, activate the lift" after five minutes, Loreli finally got the lift shuddering downwards. After around half an hour shouting and swearing about the speed of the lift, we stopped at a glass door to a laboratory.

I smashed the door open raising my gun, it was a series of office cubicles set out in a fairly large grey room, and I was expecting fancy labs for Silph. I beckoned to Loreli; we spread out looking through each cubicle. I found a letter on the desk of the first I looked in, it was really very disturbing:

I don't know how much more of this I can stand! His experiments, they keep me awake at night in terror. His latest test was on a fossilised Kabutops, the virus brought it back to life in a zombie like state, but Birch is not pleased with its movement progress. I just hope he can contain the virus for longer, otherwise who knows what...

The remains were stained with blood and were illegible. I called to Loreli.

"Found anything?"

"You bet! Take a look at this!" I dashed over to the cubicle and Loreli showed me a report.

The Virus cannot be contained for much longer. Oak's plans will succeed; the virus will break out and destroy all in its path. And if anyone tries to break into the labs, well project XG will take care of them…

I frowned "what d'you think project XG is?" I asked Loreli, she shrugged in reply.

"Well, must be a Pokemon of some sort, but this document proves that Oak was involved in some way" I didn't want to tell Loreli that it might be the Kabutops I'd read about, she'd only panic, but I just hoped that we could find some way round it.

Bruno

Koga had been unconscious for nearly an hour. I'd dismantled and reassembled my magnum god knows how many times. I sat leaning against the reception desk staring at his body, when he got up. I ran to him saying "Hey, ya finally got up" Koga stared at me; his eyes had gone a very pale grey. I backed away from him.

"Koga?" I said uneasily. Koga edged towards me, when suddenly after he began shaking, his head exploded in a shower of blood and flesh. I staggered back, blinded by the explosion, but when my vision cleared, I was horrified to see an Alakazam head exude from his body. I raised my gun.

"FREEZE!" I shouted. It ignored this and continued walking towards me, I bit back my lip, I didn't want to do this, I blasted a magnum bullet through Koga's right leg, blowing it off, but then the leg of an Alakazam grew out of the wound. After the leg finished flailing about the rest of Koga's body cracked open and went splattering to the floor as the Alakazam grew out of his body towering above me. I shook with tension, waiting to die….

And then the world righted itself, and I realised I was crouched behind a desk aiming a gun at a fully human and fully awake Koga. He looked confused but his feelings were probably nothing compared to mine.

"Bruno?" he said drearily "What's going…" I cut him off.

"STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU DEAD FUCK!"
Shit scared out of me, I dashed to the passageway that Lance and Loreli took before Koga could follow me and slammed the entrance shut.

And I'll also pretend you laughed at it to avoid humiliation.
