AN: Here is chapter 6. Thanks for reviewing everyone, I hope you like this chapter. Enjoy
The bullet almost touches him but he manages to leap to the ground before any contact was made. Looking back 494 sees 510 kicking the X7 in the chest and punching him in the face. Knowing that there soon to be more, 494 jumps up from the ground and blur to the fence and grab the flag. Turning around he sees his friend fighting with another X7 while still punching the X7 from before. He ran up to him to help. Both X7s was down when the two friends blurs into the woods away from the fence. Figuring it was safe to stop, they both lean against a tree to take a breather.
"You idiot, do you know you could of gotten yourself killed back there, me also? What were you thinking," 510 said between breathe.
"I was thinking that this could be a new start for me," 494 answers, looking at the flag. Rubbing the red plastic material in his hands and smiling.
"You're crazy." 510 frown at him before sitting down on the ground near the tree. 494 join him.
"Am I? I mean everyone else here thinks I am like 493, the runaway, the genetic mistake twin, the anomaly… could it be possible that I am crazy or going crazy."
"What are you talking about, you're not crazy. 493 is, was the crazy one. You're just being punished for his mistake, along with everyone else. You and others like you just got it bad then others."
494 only nod his head. From there, the only sound was of their breathing and birds chirping.
"Come on, we better head out, see what your prize is."
"I think I already know what the prize is. Being alive." 510 frown at his friend as they make their way back to training ground. "I'm mean think about, the TAC officers know that we were taught to never go to the fence or we'll be killed on sight. Putting it on the fence was sheer genius because they knew the X7s would be there to shot and kill anyone who goes near it. Making it out alive with the flag is simply the prize of life."
"So they knew what they were doing then? Knowing that we wouldn't find the flag because we wouldn't risk going to the fence to be kill. So why say we'll get a prize if the prize would be death."
"Who knows, testing us maybe? The point is that I got the flag and I'm alive. Oh my god, do you even know what this means," 494 ask with excitement in his voice. "This means that I'm not the weakling everybody thinks I am. I'm not like them, the 09ers, I'm nothing like them. No more disgusting or down casting looks for everyone. No more unnecessary tests because this would prove I'm a good soldier. I'll finally get the respect that I deserve."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. You're already a good soldier. You don't need a stupid red flag to prove anything. And by those negative eyes and not getting respect…in time they would change and they will realize what a good friend and soldier you are. They need you."
"Geez 510 when did you learn speech motivation?"
"It comes naturally, one of the many gifts that is me."
494 and 510 laugh their way through the woods making it to headquarters.
Alec kept his hands up while the two sector cops kept their aim on him and check the bag next to him. He could take them both down but getting shot wasn't on his list of things to do today. Plus, another car of sector cops just pull up, so run for it wasn't going to happen. Now four cops have their guns pointed at him as they scan the area.
"I think he's one of those freaks the news talk about," one of them said.
"Yeah he's one of them alright," another one side slamming Alec against the car and putting hands cuffs on him. He pulls down on Alec's shirt to see the barcode there.
"Come on guys there's no need for rough housing, I'm not fighting you am I?"
Another slam against the car told him these guys wasn't going to take him lightly so he ignore the urge to take a bullet and beat the crap out of these guys. They threw him in the back seat and went to check around the warehouse. Alec moves his body around so that he could have his hands in front of him instead behind him. He looks outside and there were no cops in sight but a noise in the distance caught his attention. Focusing on the sound, he could hear the sound of struggling and grunting; skin hitting skin and bodies hitting the ground. A smile plagues his face when he caught sight of Max and Biggs coming his way.
"Always getting your self in trouble eh buddy," Biggs said once he open the door and uncuff him.
"What and miss out on the fun."
"Well consider your self lucky for the hundredth time; we have to go before any more show up," Max said looking around the place for more sign of cops.
They left the area and down the manhole to head back to Terminal City.
……..
Coming to, one of the cops slowly push him self off the ground. He looks around where his partner lay unconscious next to him and around the area he's at. Remembering what happen to him and his partner he moan and ran to his car to find it empty. He curses under his breath and picks up the discarded hand cuff off the ground. Looking around for any sign of movement, he left the cars and went around the other side of the building to check on the other cops. Barely to the corner, he heard a yep from the side and then a noise of a bone breaking. Pulling out his gun he peeks over the side to see someone over one of the fall cops. The other cop lay in an awkward position on the ground next to them and doesn't seem to be breathing. The person over the other cop had dark hair with broad shoulders, wearing a black coat with black jean pants. He lowers his head to the fallen cop and the cop could see the barcode on his neck.
"Fire pal don't you move," the cop said moving away from the corner and took slow step toward the assailant.
The guy kept his back facing the cop but stood up.
"I said don't move. Put your hands up where I can see them!"
The man did as he was told and slowly lift his hands. The cop pulls out his flashlight without looking away or losing his aim on the man and shine it him. He search the guy's body with the flashlight and his eyes as he move closer to him. He moves the light to the ground and around his dead comrades to see if there are any weapons. He moves the light back to the man and searches him again with the light. He stops dead in his track when he looks at the guy's hands. Besides having blood on his hands, his nails were long then need be.
"What the…"
Before he could get the next word out, the guy blurs towards him and wraps his hands around the cop's neck. He slams him against the wall and lifts him off the ground. The flashlight was knocked out of the cop's hand when impact and the guy's use his other hand to twist the gun out of his hand, breaking his wrist. The cop couldn't scream due to the guy strangling him. Looking down at the guy's face, he could see the angry snarl on his face, seeing the sharp fangs sticking out. His dark hair was spread out roughly in the front and his green eyes seem to reflect yellow in them when he snarls. His body was going numb from the lack of oxygen but he could somehow feel the sharp nails of his assailant digging through his skin.
"Tsk Tsk human and their guns. You think that can stop our kind. You are pathetic, a weak excuse for the human race, sending feeble cops to kill us. If you're going to get the job done, get it done right."
With that he broke the cop's neck. The cop's body slid down the brick wall of the warehouse and crumble to the ground. The guy looks down at his hands and smile. He could smell the dry blood on his hands and his mouth waters for it. His super hearing picks up on movement on the other side of the warehouse and he knows that it's another cop waking from his sleep.
"Weaker set…"
The guy said as he makes his way to the other side of the building.
……
"State you designation?"
"X5-494"
"Again"
"X5-494," he said standing in the lab room talking to one of the technician.
"Why were you at the fence 494?"
"I was getting the red flag, sir."
"You sure you were getting the flag or were you trying to escape like your twin?"
"No sir"
"No you weren't getting the flag or no you weren't trying to escape?"
"No sir I wasn't trying to escape."
"X5-494 what if I tell you that there wasn't any flag in your training today but a figment of your imagination?"
"I would have to disagree with you sir."
"Oh really, care to explain why soldier."
"I had the flag in my hand sir, I handed it over to TAC Officer William after retrieving it from the fence. X5-510 was with me when I got it sir and he was with me when I gave it to Officer William."
"Is that a fact?"
494 said nothing, he wasn't sure if the question the tech ask him meant to be answered or not.
"I read the report Officer William wrote and he didn't mention any task about finding a red flag or you giving him one. Are you lying to us X5-494?"
"No sir."
"I think you are, trying to hide the fact that you wanted to escape like the 09ers and your twin X5-493."
"No sir."
"Wanting to escape here to go to that disease of a place outside these walls to be a traitor like the 09ers."
"No…"
"Are you back talking me 494?"
"No sir"
"Do you know what we do to rogue soldier such like your self?"
"Yes sir"
"I think you're turning into your twin 494, a screw up, a genetic mistake. You need our help to stop that from happening and become a good little soldier, don't you?"
"Yes sir"
"Take him down stairs, connect him to the machine, and see that he stay there for tonight," the technician said to two X5s waiting inside.
"Yes sir," the two said together.
Each on one side of 494 grabs him by the upper arm and drags him out the lab. 494 stayed quiet the entire time they reach the psy-ops. The two X5s push him in the chair and strap him down. 494 look up to see the two Xs and saw X5-568 smiling at him. 568 lean down until he was close to his ear and whisper to him.
"The weak never wins, 494."
He backs up when 494 struggle under his restraints and smiles wickedly at him when the technician came and came him a shot in the left inner arm. He then stuck a mouth piece in his mouth and set up the laser. 494 watch as 568 and the other X leave the room and then focus on his surrounding. The technician filter with laser to get it set up right. 494 tries to move his extremities but the drug the technician gave him starts to work. His body is no longer under his control except for his breathing and heart beat. They increase while he waits for his treatment to begin. He knows what wait for him in that laser, all the things to tell him he is wrong and his should follow the rules. Learn to follow duty and have discipline. Flaws in doing this would mean he would betray his duty as a soldiers like the 09ers. He knew what wait for him in that laser because it was part of his treatment, which they say and he hates it. The technician finally has the machine set up right and all he needs to do was turn it on by a switch. And when he hit the switch the treatment starts.
Alec woke up to a knock at his room door. He rubs at his aching eyes to get rid of the images lingering in them. The knock came again along with a voice following afterwards.
"Hey man you awake in there," Biggs said through the door.
Alec got up from his bed and opens the door for Biggs.
"Good I thought you was going to sleep the whole day away," he said pushing pass Alec to sit on his bed.
"No I just woke up, why something wrong?"
"No everything is fine. Just thought my friend would like to join me for a drank or two at the bar set up down Oak street. We have a lot to choose from."
"Since when did we get a bar," Alec frowns while putting on a t-shirt.
"Since me and some others went to Sector 5 for a contact this morning. He said he found some boxes in this old abandon building and thought it might be food. Imagine everyone surprise when we open the boxes to find all sort of alcohol. Therefore causing us to clean out some space and making it into a bar."
"Yeah I can imagine everyone surprise, what did Max say?"
"Oh she was the one who suggested on making the bar. Say it would help in making this place feels like home."
"Really…" Alec stops in his process of tying his boot's strings.
"Oh really, in fact she told everyone to take a break from our busy work and come celebrate this new contribute to our lives. She sent me to come get you to enjoy in the fun as well."
"And how can I miss out on something like that?"
"Exactly, so let's go before all the good stuff in taken."
The two friends left the apartment to head out to the new bar in Terminal City. Both lost in their own thoughts on the way.
