(A/N: Now things are going to start getting a little more exciting. There wasn't much on this part in the video, so I had to make up a lot to put the pieces together. So tell me how I did.)

Chapter 4: The Rescue
"We are going to be in big trouble if we're caught." Said Chage, as he and Aska approached the base.
Aska looked at his friend with a raised eyebrow. "You want to go back? There's still time for you to leave."
Chage shook his head. "No way! I just want to make sure you've thought of the consequences."
Aska nodded. "I have, and I don't care."
This earned him a smile from his friend. "Good, then we both agree. You better park here; don't want to bring any unnecessary attention to ourselves."
"Fair point."
Aska parked behind a building. He glanced at Chage and noticed a big grin on his face. "What are you smiling at?"
This just made Chage chuckle. "Nothing. This is just going to be fun."
Aska rolled his eyes. "This isn't supposed to be fun. It's a rescue mission."
"I know. Your point is?"
Shaking his head, Aska made his way up to the facility with Chage trailing behind. When they got to the building, Aska stopped and looked at the grinning Chage.
"What?"
"Do you have the search warrant?"
Chage searched through his pockets. A look of concern came over his face, making Aska very nervous. But finally Chage pulled out what he was looking for, causing Aska to sigh in relief.
"Found them."
Aska glanced at the phony search warrant. They had to fake one because they couldn't get a real one. "I still can't believe you made it look so official."
Chage put the papers back in his pocket and the two went inside. They approached the secretary at the desk who gave them a curious look.
"May I help you?" she asked.
Chage nodded. "Yes, we have a warrant to search the premises."
He took out the papers and handed them to the secretary. She looked them over and raised an eyebrow at them. "Suspicion of illegal experiments?" she asked, reading the papers.
Chage shrugged. "We were tipped off by an anonymous person."
"We were sent to investigate." Aska added.
The secretary eyed at them suspiciously. "We were not notified in advance of a search."
"That's not our problem." Aska replied, trying to sound like a grumpy professional officer. "That blame rests with the lazy bums back at the station."
The secretary didn't look convinced. She picked up the phone and dialed a number. After a few seconds someone answered. "Yes, Dr. Letue, I have two officers here to search the premise… Well they claim that they were tipped off by an anonymous person so they're here to investigate… According to them it's for suspicion of illegal experiments… Yes, they have a warrant… I don't know… Not that I know of… What should I do? Will you see them…? Just two… Um, I didn't get their names. One moment please." She looked at Chage and Aska. "May I have you're names please."
The two men looked at each other, wondering if they should tell who they were. If they made up names and these people contacted the chief, they would find out that their names were phony. If they took the names of fellow officers, then not only will those men be in trouble, but they would be busted when the chief contacted those they pretended to be. It would be better to just tell the truth. This way if the secretary called the chief he could clarify that there was an Officer Chage and Officer Aska, and if the chief contacted them, they could confirm what they were doing and still try and keep their intentions a secret for awhile longer.
"Officers Chage and Aska." Chage replied.
The secretary nodded and repeated the names to the doctor. "Yes, sir… Yes, sir… I understand… I will, sir… Goodbye." She hung up and turned to Aska and Chage. "The doctor will be with you shortly."
Both Aska and Chage silently swore. They knew that they wouldn't be able to just wander around, but they always hoped.
The doors opened and a middle-aged man came in. The moment he entered the room and caught sight of Aska and Chage a look of suspicion crossed over his face for a brief moment before he smiled.
"Officers, hello. I am Dr. Letue. It's nice to meet you."
Aska crossed his arms. "Doctor, we have a lot of work to do, so can we please just get this over with."
The doctor smiled again. "Of course. Shall we. But we'll need to get you decontamination suits."
He led them down the hall until they got to the locker room. "Right in here, gentlemen."
Aska and Chage entered the room, pretending to look irritated. Dr. Letue followed in with false cheerfulness. "Suits are in here. You can simply slip them on over your uniforms."
As they slipped on the uniforms, the irritated look of suspicion crossed over the doctor's face again. Chage noticed this and asked, "Is there a problem?"
The doctor shook his head. "Not at all. The two of you just look familiar."
"Familiar?" Aska repeated.
The doctor nodded. "Yes. Were you two by any chance at the base of The Sight a few days ago?"
Aska and Chage tensed, exchanging nervous looks. "Yes, we were there." Chage replied.
The doctor nodded. "Then you must have notice those two men that caused a scene over one of the cult's prisoners? I was wondering who they were."
The same word ran through the mind of both officers. 'Busted!' In an instant, they whipped out their guns, though they had no intention of using them.
"Hands up!" Aska ordered.
The irritated look left the doctor's face to be replaced with anger. "I knew I recognized you! You were the two men that argued with me about that woman."
Aska glared back. "And you were the ass hole that pretended you were taking Angel away to make sure she wasn't dangerous."
"Lying bastard." Chage growled. "We're getting her out of here."
The doctor gave a snort of laughter. "Do you really think you'll be able to pull this off?"
"Sure do. What do you think we've been doing ever since you've taken her away? We've hacked into your system, stolen security codes, located where she is being held, you name it. Trust us, we've got this covered."
Now a look of uncertainty passed over the doctor's face. "But think of all we can learn from her! Nothing like her has ever been discovered. We could-"
"She's not a damn lab-rat!" Aska cried. "She deserves to be free, just like anyone." He turned to his partner. "Cuff him."
---------------------
Now in uniform, Aska and Chage made their way to where Angel was being held. They reached their destination. First came a decontamination chamber, in which they were decontaminated. Right behind this chamber was where the experiments were being performed. And beyond that was where Angel was being held.
"There's a lot of guys in there." Aska observed. "It won't be easy to get Angel past them."
Chage didn't appear to be listening. He was holding a type of spray bottle and looking at it curiously. "Hey, Aska, what's this?"
Aska looked at the bottle in Chage's hand. "Just some decontamination spray. Why?"
Chage grinned behind his mask. "I've got a rather amusing idea."
When he explained it to Aska, it made both of them laugh.
"Ok, lets give it a try." Aska said.
They opened the door. One of the men looked up as they entered and walked over to them. "Hey, who are you? You're not supposed to be in here. Only authorized personnel is allowed in-"
He was cut off as Chage poked the tip of the decontamination spray into the mouth-part of the man's mask and sprayed. The man's suit inflated with decontamination spray. He fell to the ground, as round as a ball with his limbs flopping around uselessly.
"What the hell is this?" he cried.
Chage ignored him as he looked at the remaining scientists. "Who's next?"
---------------------
While all this was going on, another scientist from a different department was just finishing his shift and was heading to the locker room to change. When he entered, he heard muffled cries from inside one of the lockers. When he opened it, Dr. Letue fell out. He was handcuffed and gagged.
"What the hell?" He quickly took the gag out of the doctor's mouth. "What happened?"
The doctor ignored the question. "Sound the alarm! We have intruders!"
---------------------
Leaving all seven scientists inflated, Aska and Chage entered the room where Angel was being held. They didn't know how long they had before the scientists' suits deflated enough for them to gain mobility again, but they knew that they had to hurry.
They found Angel a few moments later. She was locked in a test tube of some sort. Security sensors flashed all around her.
"There she is!" Aska cried. He glanced at Chage who had whipped out the device he had made. "It's the moment of truth. I hope that thing works."
"Have some faith in me." Chage muttered, as he entered the code Aska had found when he hacked into the system. "4, 3, 9, 2, 8, 9, 1." The security system powered down. Chage gave a victorious cheer. "Woo hoo! Told ya' it would work!"
"Yeah, great job!" Aska cried, climbing up to free Angel.
He pushed the open button and the glass tube Angel was in opened. She was either unconscious or asleep. It looked like the scientists had tranquilized her again. However, she did look a lot better than she did when the first found her. At least the scientists had cared enough to heal her and care for her health.
"Angel! Angel, wake up!"
Angel groaned and slowly opened her eyes. "A…Aska?" she muttered, before her eyes closed again.
Aska sighed in relief, glad that she was all right. He grabbed the blanket the scientists had been so kind enough to let her have, and wrapped her in it before climbing down.
"How is she?" Chage asked in concern, eyeing the bundle in Aska's arms.
"She's fine." Aska replied. "Asleep, but fine. Let's get her out of-" He was interrupted by the sound of an alarm going off. "I thought you shut the security system off!"
"I did!" Chage cried. "Someone must have sounded the alarm!"
Without wasting anymore time, the two men took off, Angel held tightly in Aska's arms.
(A/N: And so ends another chapter. Aska and Chage got Angel, now they just have to get out. Wait and see what happens next. You won't be disappointed.)
