Two weeks later, Kiran, Saran, and I myself were finally allowed to leave the hospital.
Since then, I learned that RAPT now held Tokyo in its iron grasp.
(Damn you Glenford!) I thought harshly (Not only do you use Jo and Me, you use a whole country. If I find you,. You will die...)
At the time, that's what I wanted.
But as long as Kiran and Saran were with me, I began to forget …everything. All I cared about was my new friends…and my new life.
Yes…that was all that mattered now..
As time went on, I did not realize it.. Kiran and Saran were not exactly..human in a sense. They had given in to RAPT's control,. and had become monsters. Monsters I had the power to control.
But..I couldn't even use my abilities. They made sure of that. By using some power..they could use me. Put me under their control. By using their metal brains…Those cheaters!
I learned that Glenford had hired them. Somehow, he realized I wasn't dead at all.
I needed to get away from them. I needed to experience freedom for myself.
The freedom they showed me was not exactly as I envisioned it. All they did was treat me poorly and force me to kill..
Over and Over again.
This was not freedom. I cursed myself. Why had I given in to them?
Clearly I was growing soft. I was weakening..just like Jo was.
Why? I asked myself?
I had to escape. I needed to stop Glenford. And I needed to find Jo and Meg.
Later that night…I escaped out of a broken window. Lucky for me,..the two monsters had not returned.
Unless..this was a trap…Clearly if they left the window opened. It seemed a little too convenient….
"Going somewhere genocide angel?" Kiran sneered. "My My, aren't we bold." "isn't this what you wanted. I gave you what you wanted..and now you act disrespectful.."
Saran closed in on me from behind.
"You were a fool to trust us. We knew your secret. We planned this all along..to bring you back to your master."
I was right..I was setup. Now I had no choise but to eliminate them.
"Never..I will kill you here and now.." I poised myself to attack.
But they were faster..much faster then I expected. I had nowhere to run or hide. They mutated into hideous beasts , due to the effects of the metal brain.
I was done for. I was prepared to fight to the death if need be..
Just as Kiran and Saran lunged at me…I heard gunshots. Someone had found me. Those gun sounds were familiar ..
I turned..and stared into the stern face ..of ..Jo..
"Maria!" "So your still alive…"
I smiled.. "and so are you my friend…"
Ok Jo's back. The monsters attack. Maria and Jo finally join forces next chapter…and all hell is guaranteed to break loose…
