Chapter 5: How to Infiltrate a Base
"Oh, what's happening!" Number 1 asked in a loud voice grabbing onto 86's chest and putting his face against it. She mearly bapped him on the head for about the seventh time. "Don't get cozy Dracula!" she said and laid him back on the ground. "You know, that's probably the seventh time I've seen him try that with ya, the infection isn't too bad yet but it will be soon," Jake told her and lifted the boy's chin up, "You know, he's probably gonna be starving soon unless he ate a feast before he landed and didn't throw it up. Let me check his mouth. Amy! Mouth!" "Aye aye!" she replied cheerfully and yanked open Number 1's mouth. "Uh huh, uh huh. Yowch!" Jake yelped feeling the boy's fangs which were pretty sharp by now, "Well not as sharp as Jack's fangs, but then again, who besides Mutant Kid can have those kind of teeth?" Amy simply laughed and told them, "We need to get the antidote quick cause he's sorta beginning to have more symptons than just lust and since he was stabbed multiple times the infection will probably spread much quicker."
"Whoa whoa whoa, how did you guys know what to do!" Number 2 questioned irritably. "Well, when you're in the Shadow Corp. at least me and Amy, we were forced to learn all the symptons of things and we both sorta know how to survive. I mean I was alone all my life for six years before Amy began living with me, and she was a space pirate before Outlaw Patch killed her parents," Jake told them and got up, "We gotta keep moving."
Suddenly a newspaper rolled by and Kuki picked it up reading, "April 27, 2006. Front Page: City Under Raping and Vampire Seige. Today the police fell. No one is left to protect us and both male and female creatures are infected. We blame the Shadow Corporation for all this and Dr. Phendrite especially but now nothing can be done. If anyone is reading this get out now! Leave the infected and warn the government or someone!" "Typical," Jake and Amy said together with a sigh. "What?" Abby asked. "These people have had no expirience battling Shadow Corp. creations, it sorta makes me feel a bit sad." Jake told them and continued walking.
Suddenly he threw everyone back as a Vendrite slammed through a wall with its tail covered in blood. In an instant Jake and Amy sprung into action taking the being down in half a minute. "How did ya do that!" 86 cried shocked and wide eyed. "What?" Amy asked, "We may be the lamest and most failed villains in history but we can hold our own against mindless beasts." The others just gawked seeing the bent up Vendrite spasming dead on the ground. "These people are already dead, there's no turning them back so don't hesitate to take them down," Jake ordered and continued on.
"Here we are!" Amy screamed in excitement jumping up and down, "This is where we started from!" The operatives looked at the building before them. "It's a hospital," Number 2 told them, "No wonder, there are many smart people in those things, all they'd need is the right equipment there and then they could do anything they'd want basically." "And that's exactly what they did, with things given to them from Necronomia," Jake informed them while his friend got up and sat on the plus sign statue in front of the doors. "Yeah, it was awful," Amy told them smiling and hopped back down, "It's where the Phendrite first began spreading so expect anything here, it would be the place with the most infected things."
"Ugh!" Number 1 moaned painfully struggling about in Number 4 and 3's hands, "So hungry! Thirsty!" WHAM! Jake slammed his fist into the boy's face knocking him unconcious smashing him into the ground, "That should keep him from doing anything terribly bad for a while. Now then let's organize things here! First we need people out here to protect Nigel and come in if we don't come back." "Well, I am going in!" 86 piped up, "I'm not just gonna sit around I need energy running through my veins!" "Yeah!" Number 4 agreed with a grin, "Me too!" "If Number 4's going so am I!" Kuki exclaimed. "Ah, what the heck? I can't just chance you guys dying and Numbah 1 not getting that cure!" Abby agreed and stood beside them. "Well, I think that'll have to do for now, the rest of you stay out here for now, oh and here!" Amy told them and through them headphones, "They're communicators, we'll contact you if it gets too bad."
"Alright team let's move!" Number 86 commanded causing the others to group up and charge inside leaving Rachel and Number 2 to guard Nigel. "So what'd ya think will happen?" Hoagie asked his partner. "Well, they better find that cure cause if we don't get it we're gonna loose a good leader here," Rachel replied, "If you mean getting out of the city then I don't know." "Dang I hope they make it," Number 2 sighed and shot a person that was running at them with bloody dripping from her mouth.
"Man, it's eerie in here," Kuki said quivering a bit. "BOO!" Number 4 shouted causing her to let out a loud scream. Jake and Amy immediately slapped their hands over her mouth and listened carefully. "What is it?" 86 asked hearing the low growling as well. Suddenly out of nowhere a white cloaked person with a white helmet and gas filterer over their mouth jumped at them holding a gun. "Halt!" he ordered and aimed at the two teenagers of the group, "Hey, you two are the ones who were sent to us from Jack!" "Shut up, where's the Phendrite cure!" Amy asked. "Boy that was straight," Jake sighed putting a hand on his forehead in frustration. "Why?" "Someone we are with is badly injured from the Vendrites," Number 86 told him pointing her gun, "Oh and you can take that suit off, the virus wore off in its airborne form two days after the outbreak."
"There's no way I'm giving those to you brats!" he yelled and fired just barely missing Jake's ear. Jake and Amy slammed their claws into him and knocked him back injuring him a bit. "Okay, stop I'll tell you where it is!" the man told them shaking his hand at them in fear and opened a metal door, "It's right down that hallway and in one of the rooms in the basement!" The group immediately ran through before hearing a hiss of air. "What the!" Abby gasped seeing the man take his helmet off revealing his grinning face as he held up his fingers in the shape of an L, "That jerk locked us in!" "Relax," Jake told her, "We've been in worse than this, we'll find some way out." "Right!" Amy agreed and began heading down the steps to the basement.
"Ew!" Kuki cried out seeing a withered scientist body laying on the ground. Jake touched down to feel it and found some blood spread on her breast pocket. "Her blood is still wet, she didn't die too long ago." He felt around some more and found a keycard which he handed to Number 4, "Take this, Shadow Corp. laboratories usually have locked doors lying about, me and Amy got two when we escaped." Wally nodded and turned Kuki away from the sight of the dead woman.
There it was again, the low growling sound that Jake, Amy, and Fanny had heard a bit earlier. SLASH! An enormous shelled creature dropped to the ground and slammed its claws into Jake's side sending him flying through a broken wall. Seeing her downed companion Amy took out a sword she had been and visciously sliced at the creature attempting to harm it. WHAM! The monster smashed a tentacle from its back into her stomach throwing her into the rafters. "Fire!" 86 ordered and the group ran about uleashing their lethal lazers on the monster's hide. It growled angrily and grabbed Abby, Kuki, and Fanny with its tentacles while Number 4 grabbed onto its rocky back and climbed up aiming his gun at the thing's eye.
"Hiya!" Fanny cried taking out a dagger and slashing it through the rubbery tentacle letting her fall to the ground and fire at the other tentacles releasing the girls. It screamed an unearthly cry struggling to stay standing as Wallabee continued to fire rapidly into its eyehole. "Wha!" he cried as the thing grabbed him and threw him to the ground. The monster prepared to strike when all of a sudden Amy leapt down and slammed her sword through its skull, "Man, it pays to be a space pirate for five years!" WHISHCK! Jake slashed his claws through the monster's stomach and it finally fell. "Geez!" he yelled clutching his chest bleeding chest and looked at the creature, "That hurt almost as much as when Jack beats us up! Whoa! That thing looks like one of those Super Soldiers from Necronomia only mutated!" "Hey yeah!" Amy agreed and took her blade back holstering it in a pack on her back, "Man this virus is dangerous."
"Hey look!" Kuki said catching everyone's attention, "There's a hall down here with two doors, should we look in them do ya think?" "Well duh!" Fanny told them and marched down the dim hallway towards a metal door. "Access please." The door told her holding out a slot to insert something. "Here's my access!" she yelled and blasted the door down, "Darn out of ammo." "We'll take the other door," Abby told her signaling to Number 4 and 3. "Right, now let's go!" Jake commanded and headed through the broken down door with Fanny and Amy.
"You heard the teen, let's get going!" Abby said and inserted the keycard into the other door allowing it to slide away. "Wow, how grim," Wally commented walking into the darkened, blood-stained room. The square area extended about fifteen feet from the door to the wall opposite of it and eight feet the other way with an odd device in the center and what looked to be a pull down movie screen in front of it. Kuki and Wallabee decided to walk around a bit checking out all the neat doctor equipment and some surgery tools.
"Let's see what this does," Abby said to herself pressing a button on the device flashing a bright light and causing the others to drop there utensils, "Well I'll be, it's an old slide projector." "What's it have on it!" Wallabee asked anxiously looking at the cube thing, "I don't get how it works!" "You press this," Abby told him hitting a big red button allowing a slide to filter on, "Hey, it's a diary, let's see it reads":
March 18
Dear Diary,
My name is Milda and you're about the only thing that the people here are letting me keep, those demons! They even took away my clothes and keep injecting me with these shots. They just say it's too help my blood flow better but I felt just fine before I came here, now I feel like I need to drink a lot so they give me this salty stuff that I hate but I just can't seem to get enough of it, it's weird! Well, talk later, the men in white are back.
March 19
What on earth are they doing to me! Today they came in and shot me in the arm! It just won't stop bleeding but I don't seem to feel it all that much for some reason! This is scary, they're up to something I know it!
The slide flipped to another one
March 20
Today I heard the screams of other patients down here in the basement, what else could be going on here besides me, I thought they gave me the most attention but now it's unbearable. They keep coming in and giving me those shots and I keep feeling weirder and weirder. They've also replaced the salty liquid with this goopey red substance that I just love, it's like heaven! Well, they're refilling it gotta go, talk later
March 21
Today I got some revenge, oh and how joyous it was. When the men came to inject that stuff into me again I jumped up and bit one and kept sucking. It was red and thick just like my drinks! I've also developed some claws that I skewered the other with. Drank him dry as well, yummity yum yum!
March 22
This time there were several that come in. They stare at me, zap me! It hurt, but I have ways of getting back at them. Recently I have seen back in mirror and there sharp tip growing out of bottom of back. It seem to have tube running through it after tip. I try it tomarrow!
March 23
Use tail down many researchers and drink dry. Yummy!
"That was disturbing," Abby commented as they veiwed the overhead projector's diary on screen. Suddenly a shadow flashed across the wall in a hunched over manner and a sharp sickle-like tail. "Oh man!" Number 4 hissed, "A Vendrite!" SHRISS! Some gooey substance splashed into the head of the projector melting it eliminating all the light in the labs. "Oh man!" The black creature crept closer and closer until finally Kuki spun around and screamed as the black Vendrite leapt in the air.
"So, what is this place?" 86 asked Jake and Amy as they wandered around the darkened room. Fanny was currently carrying a flashlight in one hand while holding a gun out with the other trying to make things out. "Well let's see," Jake said taping one of his claws against his chin, "It was probably where they kept many of the creatures they expiremented on due to the fact of all the broken capsules and everything. Suddenly there was a shattering of glass and the trio spun around to face the combatant.
Numbers 3, 4, and 5 all ran as fast as they could away from the black monstrostiy that was shooting acid at them through its tail. "I thought those things only sucked blood!" 86 screamed firing at it. "Oh! That's a black one!" Amy exclaimed cheerfully, "They shoot pure Phendrite from their tails, that's as infected as you can get!" "Um, Amy, that's sort of a bad thing," Jake told her and her smile faded and she began to run though the room screaming. CRACK! An enourmous claw smashed up through the floor clutching ahold of her and knocking her through a door to another room. "What now!" Number 4 cried hysterically as the enormous monster smashed into the room through the ground below.
FRUCKUNK! The tentacle from one of Dr. Phendrite's mouths slammed into the Vendrite's chest and began sucking the Phendrite from it. "Hey guys!" Amy shouted, "I found the device to make a cure!" 4 and 3 ran into the room beyond leaving the others to duke it out with the abomination that began the outbreak. "Okay, let's finish him off!" Jake shouted and ran forth leaping onto the human head and slashing wildly at it with his claws. Phendrite roared in agony and arched backwards revealing the hole in his middle mouth that shot energy. "Aim for the circle!" Jake shouted, "It's where all of his energy comes from!"
Abby and Fanny immediately began firing nonstop in the center causing Phendrite to spasm out of control. WHAM! Phendrite finally gained control of his body once more and slammed the girls away with his tentacles and threw Jake off his face and charged. WHAM! He burst through a wall just missing the group and they scurried into the room beyond. "Hiya!" Amy greeted them as Jake locked the door, "We already have the machine working on it, five batches of it!" "Yeah, everything's gonna be good!" Wally told them.
At that instant Phendrite burst through the wall smashing down the door and throwing Abby away into the previous room. "Ah!" Kuki screamed. "Keep him distracted!" Amy ordered and the others ran around the back of him to the other room with Abby. CRAKRASH! The doctor's enormous tail whipped around and slammed through the remains of the wall. The group continously fired as much as they could into the circle in the doctor's middle mouth reloading every few minutes.
"Don't stop!" 86 commanded and fired a few rounds of acid lazers into his approaching tentacles. "Almost there!" Amy moaned seeing the machine begin to spin slower and slower. "Take this!" Jake shouted hopping onto the scientist's back and slamming his claw into his skin. Phendrite roared in a mixture of rage and agony and flipped the boy off of him. "Come on!" Kuki yelled distracting the monster to its side for a bit while the others sped around back and leapt on to fire into his human face.
"It's done!" Amy cried as the machine stopped spinning and she grabbed the test tubes, "Let's get going! Wait, you guys aren't done with him yet?" WHAM! This time Amy was knocked about causing one of the tubes to roll near Fanny. "What the?" she said as it hit her foot and her eyes widened and thought. If that vial can cure someone of Phendrite what would it do to something made almost completely of Phendrite! With that thought in mind Number 86 picked up the glass object, slipped it into her firearm, and took aim.
"Hiya!" Wallabee exclaimed slamming his foot into the monster's chin tumbling him backwards into Fanny's veiw. "Come on!" she hissed, "Just a little bit more!" WHAM! Jake slashed madly at the beast slamming him around facing in her direction. "THERE!" she shouted catching everything's attention as it was fired into the center of Dr. Phendrite. The abomination roared an unearthly cry as cracks began occuring all across his body and he shot energy about wildly beginning to bring the hospital down. "Let's get out of here!" Number 5 shouted and the group began to run for the staircase. "Wait!" Jake exclaimed spinning around, "Where's Amy? I gotta go get her, you guys get out!" "She has our leader's cure, we need her too!" Kuki told him. "Here!" the black haired boy shouted throwing them a test tube, "Make him drink it!"
86 dragged the others out as the staircase began to fall and ran out the crumbling back entrance. "Guys!" Number 2 cried rushing over out of breath, "Number 1, we had to move him cause of the hospital breaking down! He's in an alley, do you guys have it?" "Sure do man!" Number 4 told him holding it up to the moon's light, "All the cure we will need!" "Great, and where are Jake and Amy?" The others just looked back at the hospital. "Oh I see," Number 2 said looking away, "Well come on, we need to give him the cure!"
"What the?" Number 1 said as he sat up under a pile of newspapers, "what happened?" "Numbah 5 can answer that," Abby said sitting next to him, "Phendrite was taking over your body so we went to get a cure, Jake and Amy didn't make it out though it seems but we got rid of Doctor Phendrite!" "You did! Wow, that's really all that matters at the moment, at least he's gone, now let's find a way out of this wretched city!" Number 1 told her and stood up.
"Hello?" the man with the axe asked over a communicator, "Ah, why hello I see things are coming along nicely then. Oh Phendrite might be down? Ah well, Shadow will be pleased to hear that you were able to get a sample of the cure, I don't think we'll be dealing with Phendrite anymore though, after this do to what's happened. Yes, well, continue and be careful I might tell Jack if you mess up instead of Shadow."
Well, Number 1's cured, Jake and Amy may or may not be dead, and Dr. Phendrite might finally be out of their hair what do you guys think? Well hope it wasn't too dull, the diary was interesting and disturbing to make.
