A/N: More reviews please. I'm not deciding the direction of the story till I get more votes! You can't vote twice though! I also seem to be losing reviewers…
Averlyn Lauren: Umm…Logan isn't a transgenic. I think you're confusing my story with CoolAngel's, which I must admit started off somewhat alike. But it also took a turn: Logan was a transgenic, which made our stories totally different. Also, I think the only reason Max heard White coming was because she tuned out the other two fighting and listened carefully to the other sounds around her, which I doubt is anything different. She's done that before…hasn't she? Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know, that's just what I think.
PLEASE READ!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Chapter 10: Who shall win?
White approaches Joshua with great caution and in silence. Suddenly, Joshua feels a sudden stab of pain at his side. It was too late. As he turned around, White stood there, triumphantly. His sense for hearing was obviously not as good as his sense of smell. He collapsed on the floor, coughing and struggling to breathe. Joshua felt his side…it was wet…with blood. Shortly afterwards, he felt dizzy. White dragged him into the room. As he did, Joshua felt his energy drain. White chained him into another chair, all the way across the room.
"You see, 452. I am victorious this time. You cannot win. You won't…" he stated, with confidence.
White looked over at Max, then back to Alec. Joshua saw him grinning. It made his stomach sick. How could they be losing…to him? Max and Alec were no longer conscious. They seemed to be in another world… whatever the chemical contained seemed to have knocked them out.
Joshua was beginning to lose hope. What was happening to everyone? Why is everyone getting so weak and White able to survive? Was the chemical aimed at transgenics? Joshua continued to sort out his thoughts. White continued to gloat. Joshua could barely hear him. Soon, he is lost in his own thoughts. He finds himself in another world…was it a dream?
***
White looks at his prisoners, one by one. He grins. Looks like I'll finally win. He sees that both 452 and 494 were unconscious. The Manticle was working. The dog-man was also becoming weaker. His cell rang. He answered.
"I know. 452 is at my mercy. I have her friends in my custody too. Don't worry, she can't escape."
"Good. The Coming is approaching. You must destroy her."
"I will, as soon as I find Ray."
"You cannot wait. The Coming is arriving sooner than we expected."
"Do not worry. I will finish her off before the Coming arrives."
"For your sake, you better hope so."
He hears a click and the call ended. He walks back to the center of the room. His cell rings, slightly stirring his peace. It was Otto.
"What is it now, Otto?"
"We've located the human who was with him. Shall we take him in?"
"No, he's not going to pose a threat to us…of course you take him in! We let him go and he turns us in!"
'Idiot,' he muttered to himself after he pocketed his cell. He sat back to think of all the ways he could make 452 suffer…for what she did to him…
***
Logan backs up against the empty boxes, knocking them down. Otto speaks:
"Give it up. You can't run."
"You'll have to catch me."
With that, Logan knocks down several boxes, causing a domino reaction. Then he ran. They fired several bullets. Several minutes later, he felt a slight pressure…he was hit. He fell to the ground…

A/N 2: Mwahahaha…I'm evil, aren't I? Good guys win too often. What happens when the bad guys finally win? Continue reading to find out.
A/N 3: I know this chapter was slightly shorter than the rest, but that's because I'm planning on writing another one soon…very soon. Hopefully I'll have one by Wednesday. Check, but I can't make any promises with the way school is going.
