So, here's another one! :D Just to clarify something I forgot about, (sorry! :/) this is before 'Rise Of The Secret Soldiers'. Sorry if that confused you. The song for this is 'Hey Brother' by Avicii. I honestly didn't know what the soundtrack should be for this chapter, but I'm kind of glad I picked this one. :) This story may or may not be coming to a close soon. I don't know. More info on that rather confusing statement at the end of the story. ;) Once you read the chapter that statement will make more sense. Anyway, I'm going to do reply to the reviews here, so if you reviewed, the response will be here! :)

Brentinator: I'm so glad you liked it! Hopefully you'll also like this one! :)

AnonLabRatsLover: Thanks! I'm trying to update as fast as I can! ;D

Guest: Thank you! I think I'm going to keep this as a non-romance story; sorry. I just feel that it would work better without any romance. Hope you still like this chapter, though! :)

Pink-Libra-Girl: Oh, don't worry about it! What was that you said? "I'm just glad that you do!" ;P I'm so happy that you feel that way! Honestly, I was a little worried about how it would turn out, but people seem to like it! :P Cool! I was hoping that people would kind of be able to tell that it was Krane, and that it wasn't super confusing...and about Trent, I didn't see it coming either! Lol. I was originally just going to have him be there during the whole ordeal, but then it hit me that maybe he could actually be Trent. Idk. Hopefully, it wasn't all to confusing! :D

Disclaimer: I seriously do not own this.

Chase woke to a pounding in his skull, and wondered for a brief second why he always seemed to awaken to pain.

He opened his eyes as he clutched his head, and immediately sat up, eyes wide with fear until he realized a couple moments later what had happened. He frowned as he tried to stand up, but to no avail.

He glanced to his side, and noticed his siblings passed beside him. He watched for a moment, and saw both of their chests rising. Relief flooded through him for only a moment, before he began to check out the room.

It was fairly well lit up, the walls seemed to be cement, giving it a prison sort of feel, and when he looked up, he noticed three large vents on the ceiling. He frowned in confusion and lifted two fingers up to the side of his temple, sighing with relief that he could use his bionics.

Only problem was that they seemed to be extra slow. He decided to scan the room, to check for any hidden threats, and his heart sunk when he did. In the vents, was a deadly gas that could be released at any moment.

The toxin was VX.

And Chase knew how deadly that could be. He quickly looked around again for any escape, and when he scanned, he couldn't find any hidden doors or even any way to escape.

He then noticed something that had somehow gone unnoticed by him before; two gas masks sitting on the floor about five feet away. It was then that Chase realized just what exactly Krane had meant.

He had locked them in this room, and Chase had no doubt that he was watching them at this very moment, and filled the air vents with a deadly poison, while only leaving two gas masks for three people. So this was how he was going to make them suffer. Chase huffed humorlessly and rubbed his temples.

He was not having a good day.

He scanned the vents again, and noticed something new. There was now a two minute countdown to activate the gas, and there was no way Chase could stop it. Krane was definitely watching them.

He glanced over at his siblings and sighed. They were still unconscious. That meant that this was it. He would make the ultimate sacrifice for his siblings. Even though he wasn't too sure that they would do the same for him.

But that didn't matter. It didn't matter that they never protect him. He'll always protect them.

He looks over at the gas masks, and slowly makes his way over to them.

This really was it.

No proper goodbyes to his family, no final farewells and comforting words exchanged. He would die because of a poison. A gas that would most certainly cause the most painful death. He did a quick scan, and noticed that he only had one minute left.

He ignored the dread running through his veins, and stopped the shaking in his hands, before slowly slipping the mask gently onto Adam's face. He then made his way over to Bree, and did the same with her for the last mask.

They would work; he had scanned them to make sure. He then sat down in front of the wall and leaned up against it, looking up at the ceiling and noticing he only had twenty seconds left.

Twenty seconds before his life would end. Well, at least he could only hope that he would die as soon as the gas came, but he knew that he wouldn't. It would be slow, and painful.

Ten

He sighs, glancing over at his siblings, knowing that he will never again see the sunlight, his family, or anything ever again.

Seven

He'd never get married, be at any of his siblings weddings, be an uncle or father, never feel the comforting embrace of his siblings ever again.

Four

Never be with his family ever again.

Two

This was it. His final moments on earth.

Zero

Chase looked up to see a light mist start filtering in from the vents and fill the air surrounding them. He coughed painfully, his eyes burning immediately. He coughed again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

It wouldn't end, even though he clutched his chest and prayed for the white hot pain spreading through his limbs to stop.

Suddenly, a new sensation entered his chest; choking. He wheezed in some air, and it felt like he was sucking air in through a straw.

His vision blurred and his movements became sluggish as he felt his limbs getting heavy and eventually going limp. Without being able to support himself anymore, he fell to the side with a loud and painful thud, the pain of that nothing compared to the pain in his chest.

He coughed weakly as his vision soon began to darken at the edges. He felt the pounding of his heart slow until it was barely even there. He managed to choke out four words before being consumed by the eternal pit of darkness; knowing he'd never come back out of this one.

"I love you guys."

So...yeah. I killed him. Eh. Not my first time, probably won't be my last. But! There is a chance he may come back! Just let me know with the reviews and it'll most likely determine the rest of the story! :) I'll just be waiting for your thoughts. ;)
