A voice... in my head?

Get up and fight

It said again.

The pressure on me was lifted and I coughed as I caught my breathe. One eye was forced open and to my amazement, the monster was busy snapping in the air as something white darted to and fro, irritating it.

The white pigeon?!

I panicked. What was it doing here?!

I scrambled to my feet quickly, katana tight in my grip as I retreated a few steps back. Weiss came up from behind.

"What's that?" Siberian asked softly.

"Doesn't matter", I cut in. "Let's just use this chance to get into the building!" I turned and ran towards the broken fence and so did the rest. When we were halfway there, I glanced over my shoulder and got a surprised of my life.

All across the body of that hedious creature were scratches. Really long scratches. Not to mention, deep. Blood the color of blue was trickling down from every wound. And from the looks of it, it was when the thing moves, another slash seemed to have taken place as the blood splattered all over the ground and surrounding trees.

Just above it, the white pigeon was circling above it, resembling an eagle over prey. Just how did it inflict the wounds? It didn't exactly have sharp talons to cut. Even the bugnuks of pure steel wasn't able to damage it the least bit, however the creature looks very much weakened. It struggled to keep its large form on its feet, helplessly trying to grab the bird in the air.

The other three took notice of this fact too and all of us were in slight confusion. But that can be dealt with later. More importantly, the commosion might've sent the guards and doctors running to us. We've got no time to lose.

Weiss divided into the two respective groups. Siberian and I headed for the stairs while the other two sped to the control room. The building's internal structure was like a maze. It wasn't surprising since any animal could escape or enter. It was pretty obvious they didn't want that. But, we both are still to head to the third floor where an elevator can take up straight to the floor where Darnell is supposedly.

"What is the meaning of this? Mega failed?" Asuka yelled, slamming her hands on the table which shook under the force. "Unbelievable..." Her brown wavy hair curtained her face as she clenched her fists, long nails digging into her palm.

She looked up with a glare on her face when she heard clapping noises.

"Very good, don't you think? In less than five minutes, something so small can wipe out Mega. I trully have underestimated it", Darnell laughed as he continued clapping. "Maybe we ought to reward it?"

"Darnell, one of our important subjects are gone!" The lady groaned.

"Ah, but the one which is most precious lives on..." He trailed off when the lights above started to flicker. "Bother. Are we having a black out again?"

By the time Siberian and I were on the second floor, the operation had officially began as the lights darkened and shut off completely. Running beside me, Siberian put on his goggles. I was about to put on my own night vision wear, basically a one sided mask which covered my right eye, something close to a monocle. But I was astonished when in three seconds, by vision was fully accustomed to the darkness and the area was just dim, not dark.

But for safety reason, I still put on the night-vision wear, the hook clasped onto my right ear while the other had the ear piece.

"Abyssinian, Siberain. Balinese and I would be heading to the same grounds. If possible, take out both Darnell and Asuka together", Bombay's voice sounded in my earpiece. So they were both in the same place. It would make the mission much simpler.

"Roger", we both replied, showing that we have heard the report.

Uh short. reply to reviews next chap
