Charge: This chapter contains blood.
~3rd Geno POV~
Blaze sprinted down the stairs, Marrow closely following her. The stairs weren't plentiful, so they ran down them in a matter of seconds. Rhea, however was across from the dragon and the woman attacking it. Luckily, she was fairly distracted by the massive serpent, so they managed to slip past. The boy in a cage next to her eyed the cats, but said nothing.
When both of the Genos reached the cage, Marrow braced one paw against the cage, and pounded the edge of his bone blade against the cage. Blaze was fairly worried that the noise would attract the woman's attention, but the dragon roared at the same moment Marrow's blade broke the cage. Rhea bounded out, eyes blazing with rage.
"BITCH!" She screamed. Even though the humans couldn't understand what she was saying, they got the general idea when Rhea charged for the woman, digging her claws into her ankle. The woman's eyes darted from the broken cage to Rhea, and then to the Genos responsible for setting her free.
"Get the cats! Now!" All the Genos' ears perked at this statement, and Marrow darted for the exit, but as it turned out, that particular exit was where the humans decided to stream out. Marrow held out a foreleg as a warning, but was quickly shot at. Blaze ran to him, fearing the worst, but it seemed to be a tranquilizer dart. Unfortunately, she caught the eye of one of the humans with a blowgun, and after a second, she started to feel dizzy. She glanced at Rhea, and found she detached her teeth from the woman, and was lying on the ground, a dart in her shoulder.
The human smiled at his accuracy, which had hit all three cats in their shoulders.
"I doubt that there are just these three. Search the whole area!" Dietlinde Eckhart ordered, lifting her head from her chant, which was slowly ensnaring the massive Leviathan.
"Yes, madam!" The soldiers, about twenty in number answered. They quickly scored the ground floor, and then marched upstairs, to the storage rooms. They heard a quiet meow, and the faint sound of pawsteps.
"Up here!" One of them shouted, and they nodded, each opening a storage room. Most were cat-free, but at the end of the hall…
"The cats are in here! Come quickl-" he was cut off as a ball of feathers attached itself to his face, meowing at the top of its lungs. One of the soldiers with a blowgun shot into its shoulder, and it instantly collapsed on the ground. Three cats sprinted out of the room, but were swiftly cut off by the soldiers on both sides of the balcony that gripped the sides of the circular structure.
One of the cats, a longhaired gray one with yellow-colored fur on its legs, bit the ankle of one of the soldiers. A dull yellow aura surrounded the cat for about half a second, and the soldier collapsed. Another cat, a black one this time, looked at the window showing the sunrise anxiously, meowed something, but nothing happened, and was quickly sedated.
The grey cat dispatched about three more soldiers before falling unconscious due to the blowgun, leaving the yellow one. It glanced around before running into the storage room, leaving it trapped. It backed up several steps once the first soldiers streamed into the storage room, eyes wide with fright. A dull yellow aura surrounded her, similar to the grey one, but glowing exponentially brighter by the second.
A bright flash engulfed the room, and everyone room was temporarily blinded, save for the cat, who darted out of the room, only to be faced with one of the humans with a blowgun. She quickly fell victim to the sedative.
~Time skip~
Blaze groggily woke up, vaguely alarmed that she was in a different place then where she was last. There were lines and symbols under her paws, and the massive serpent was above her, forced into a circular position. There were other Genos, most barely awake, and the boy who occupied the cage next to Rhea, and the man still strapped to the chair in the middle.
And there was the woman, with a gun in her hand. Blaze wasn't alarmed, but that fact might've lay in the fact that the dart was in her shoulder. The woman smiled, aimed her gun, and pulled the trigger.
Blaze just looked, wondering who got shot, than noticed it was the man. The man had a crimson mark on his chest, quickly spreading onto the floor. He collapsed in his chair, the blood pool reaching the boy, who started to scream as the marks on the floor went from being black to being pink.
The serpent turned its head and smirked.
"Serves you right, father," it said, laughing. A split second later, a bright flash occurred in the middle of the circle, about halfway up to the serpent. However, after a second it began to grow dull.
"Needs more power," the woman muttered, fixing the gun so it pointed lower. A shot rang out, and a voice exclaimed something between a yowl and a scream. A quick glance revealed itself to be Andro, shot in the leg. The glowing intensified, revealing a bare black outline of a gate, slowly opening. After a minute, it opened, revealing a dull white-yellow glow.
Blaze glanced at Andro, who was inspecting his right foreleg.
"I'll be fine," he muttered, relived.
The light quickly branched out, engulfing the circle. Once the dull glow stopped, all Blaze saw was white. The shock of this, combined with Andro being injured, wore off the sedatives.
"Hello, there." Blaze spun around, to be faced with an albino human figure outlined by black.
"Who…WHAT are you?"
"I am God. I am One. I am the universe. I am Truth. But I am also," he said, pausing for a second, "you."
"You scare me."
"You were sucked up by the Gate, which leads to Amestris. However, to gain something, something of equal value must be lost. I must take something you enjoy. In your case, it is being in that feline form."
"So….I'm not going to be a cat anymore?"
"Yes and no. You'll see when you get there. Your friends will sacrifice similar things, and most, like you, will sacrifice their feline bodies. However, another will sacrifice something different, as he values his blood, not his body." He smiled, disappeared, and Blaze stood facing a massive gate, which swiftly opened, engulfing her in shadows that ended in what Blaze thought were hands.
Cliffhanger fest!
Envy: I hate you.
Sorry the update's late. *Goes back to Pokémon*
