Chapter 5
A heart monitor was echoing in a white room each time to keep a man alive. The man was in a private medical room due to his stroke. His whole left side was numb, he can only move his right side of his body. He could not escape from hell as he laid on this bed for days. He knew that he consumed a lot of alcohol, he did smoke 2 packs per day, and he always bang his girlfriends since his engineer work was boring at times. Life was bogus for Avis Grefield, until now...
He always remembered that a couple of men took him out of bed and then, he heard a chainsaw noise that gave him the most traumatic moment he had ever been through. The doctors in their white suit were suddenly becoming red due to the spurting blood that were coming towards them as they cut through half of his body. He fainted halfway and then, he was told by a strange old man that his whole left side were replaced by synthesis parts.
However the only exposed infected thing was his left arm...
He was rejected and was feared by others when the nurses and doctors saw his left arm. He was locked in a private room for five years. Darkness surrounded him as he stare at his computer screens alone to see through everything from the cameras he had hack to see everything. He was forced to work on weapons, armors, and many more alone with no one ever seeing his appearance again, they called him the unknown monster. He had no idea why would they would gave him this arm and he has the rights to know why after he heard a gun cock behind him. He saw the woman, the minion from the former mercenary, perhaps she might find the answer for him...
"Hey man, did you hear something?" the guard who lit up his 4th cigarette.
"Maybe it's you being an idiot." the other guard who is stomping his 5th cigarette on the ground and took out his sixth.
"I'm serious man, I think something is-"
A car ran over the two men that killed them instantly. Avis did not hit the brakes since he wanted to wanted to plunge in the building and say: surprise motherfuckers! However he was just lost at his mind when he thought his past after telling Kaylenna what happened to him.
Back in this moment, Avis smiled widely to himself with his sweaty palms on the wheel. He had never been that excited in years, after being trapped in the dark room for a long time, he had never felt so alive when freedom was finally at his hands. He looked at his new young partner with her expressionless face. It would of been funny if she were scared, she is not a fun person to hang out with, but she'll do.
"Woo! I've always wanted to do that!" Avis lied and turned off the engine. He stepped out of the car with a big stretch after being in the most longest car ride he had been in.
"That's because you didn't hit the brakes." Enid casually came out of the car to readied her guns from the trunk.
"All right, we'll do it your way, we'll invade the place and kill a shit ton of people."
"Whatever, our main mission is to find a data from the New World's Order."
"Yeah, yeah, I already know that." Avis said getting his left arm ready for his first battle.
He had tested his infected arm for years when he first got it. He put in many injections on this on himself and this strange arm overcame the most strongest poisons that he put on for himself to die soon, but nothing happened. He was alone since he hid himself in his own room after he had that sudden stroke. He was a monster on the outside, nobody came close to him, and when he met Kaylenna. She had shown no fear from his appearance, not bad from a young girl that was trained by a criminal. When she pierced herself from a large syringe and her armor was covering her lovely appearance into a robot-like ninja self that is ready to make a massacre.
"Hey, doesn't that hurt?" he asked her.
"It still does," Enid said, "but it is something that I have to get used to for the rest of my life."
Avis looked at his left arm and his right arm. Both of his arms had different appearances, it was something that he had for so many years.
"Is everything alright?" Enid looked at his face and he gave her a smirk since he didn't want her to worry.
"Ladies first."
Avis opened the door with his left arm and Enid went in with her guns shooting at the people in a huge building. Enid made her way to another room, and Avis came in to use his left arm for testing, they were on their separate ways. When more people came in the hallway, explosions were thrown onto the securities and some of the men gasped at his appearance.
"Look at his arm!"
"Oh my god!"
Avis had trained himself with his left arm in his private room for seven years. He rolled up his left sleeve to release the abnormal power and he smashed one of the guard's head in an instant.
"Open fire!"
The guards use their guns to shoot Avis down, but he use one of his inventions that he put on his right arm to shield himself from lead bullets. The tiny holes around the shield that is as tall as him, all of the bullets went in the shield and they ceasefire.
"Seems to be working well." he said to himself and he pull a trigger from behind his shield. The lead bullets were reverse to the other side and so the multiple bullets shot down most of the soldiers down. Many of them die and some of them were bleeding to death. Avis looked at the soldiers were being killed by his own hands. He became a criminal as well, oh well.
He walk towards another man that was still alive and he placed a sticky bomb on him.
"You monster!"
The bomb exploded on him and Avis made himself a smile from his left side that had some of his teeth that looked normal, but it was a model of synthesis and he looked down at his scattered victims.
"That's what they all say."
A woman in rage was on the computer typing frantically when she was informed that two intruders that were killing her security and her soldiers really fast.
"Ma'am! Someone is coming!"
"Hurry up and distract him!" she yelled still eyeing on the huge computer screen.
"Ahh!"
An explosion was heard from behind the frustrated woman. She turned around as she pressed enter from behind when she saw a man coming in the room.
"All right, lady, do you have the file?"
"Yeah, its right here!"
She took out a pistol out of her skirt belt and she started to shoot at Avis. Avis blocked the bullets with his left arm that sucked in the lead bullets.
"What the f-?"
"Whoa, well that's new."
Avis did not see the bullets from his left arm, it just completely sucked it in and it felt the same as usual. He chuckled to himself and he looked at the woman.
"All right, you want to play the hard way, monster?"
The woman took out a gun and it turned into a laser whip. She took off her high heels and charged at him. Avis felt the whip that was hitting him with such elegant moves. The whip itself was painful at each hit and the laser parts burned part of his combat suit. He could not hit a woman since she was too fast to try and touch her. The woman wrapped his neck with her laser whip. The whip was burning and suffocating at the same time, it was such unbearable pain he had to endure from his hands as well. The woman smiled and laugh with joy.
"Kaylenna... sorry." he said to himself and he fade to darkness when the laser part was burning his neck and he kneel on the ground to accept his new fate.
Enid made her way in the room fast to meet up with her partner. She walked in the room to see her partner that was on the computer using his bloody hands to hack in the computer.
"I see that you've survived your first test."
"..." Avis said nothing and he kept on typing slowly.
"What do we have?"
"..."
"Is something the matter?"
"I analyze it twice, the file from the New World's Order is not here, I've could of swore that it was there." He even checked this place from online many times, but he could not find it from this computer. He taught himself how to hack in other computers before, he just checked from his traveling pad that this file was certainly there.
"I see..."
Enid's eyes was filled with disappointment. Avis hated to see a girl's face that seem that she wanted to cry, but there wasn't any tear coming out. Brave girl...
"I'm sorry, but I saw this new file that is about you."
"Let's see it."
Unknown name
Creator Xero
Xero's apprentice that has the strength of both Xero, *****'s, and **** strength together to make an invincible cyborg ever made. If we can get our hands on her then we can control her and make them one of us, or we can kill her and built a new one by using her DNA...
"I see." Enid said, "Blow this place-ah!"
Avis heard a thump on the floor, he turned around and saw Enid collapsed on the ground.
"You okay?" Avis ran to her and he placed his hands on her shoulders. Enid's shoulder's were slender and small, it felt like a human skin. However he felt that her body temperature was rising.
"I'm fine, I..."
Enid tried to get up, but she fell on the ground again.
"Holy shit! We're going to make a camp for you to rest! You need daily medical attention!" Avis carried Enid, as expected she was very light, and he left the pile of bloodied bodies behind.
The cricket chirped from the starry night as Enid was laying on a blanket that Avis's cube made. Avis sat in the cold cave with no fire since there was no woods to find in the middle of nowhere that was full of rocks. They have not yet made a word from each other ever since they came out of the headquarter. Enid's temperature was rising. Avis scanned her with his robotic left eye to see what she had and he sighed at her.
"You're running a high fever, you need to go to sleep right now," Enid shook her head at him.
"I cannot, then you would be in danger." she weakly said to him.
"I can protect myself Kaylenna, you need some rest so that you have the strength to fight others that might come to us."
"...Why are so concern about me?" Enid breathes heavily to herself.
"You're my partner and I should care, now sleep."
"..."
Enid sighed and laid on her sleeping bag.
When Avis was searching at the pad to study Kaylenna. There was nothing that the researchers had from her before. She is the last link to the Bolverk Squad and she must be destroy immediately, that's all...
Everyone knew that she is a dangerous person that must be stopped from destroying cities.
"What monster?" he said to himself when he took a glance at Kaylenna. She was already sleeping like a little child. He smiled to himself when he never knew that this kid was Xero's apprentice. He haven't seen her from when he fought with Xero, but he was almost killed many times. He couldn't think about anything else but to save himself. He also didn't had the time to take a look around at things that was out of his research. He was the almost at the same age as her when his family was taken away, now she has a request from her dead family, Avis did not. He wondered on how his parents were doing now after their only son disappeared so suddenly when he was in the hospital.
If he'd ever had parents since his memories were wiped out when someone took him out of the hospital. He became a monster when the scientists gave him a new left side. He had no permission, but he had no choice but to be possessed in this for the rest of his life.
He looked at his left arm that was mutated. He still does not know what are these things came from and why? Back at the headquarter, when he fade to darkness for a while, he woke up with the smell the blood around him. He gasped to himself and looked at his hands that were bloodied with his fingernails covered in flesh. He looked right next to him was a battered body. He identified the woman that had been brutally beaten. He didn't know what he did to her, all he did was sleep and suddenly his neck was healed from the burn and even his hands as well. He hid the body just before his partner can see it, what in the world would she say if she saw that?
It wasn't his first time when that happened, there was one time when he injected poison on his right arm since he wanted to kill himself. When he woke back up, all of his works were scattered in piece and his walls were banged as well. He looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. He looked the same with his robot eye still in place. He needed to find the solution to his strange awakening every time he dies. Now that he thought about it, he set his data aside and he looked at her sleeping face for the second time. It was cute and all, but her face was red and she was sweating from her fever.
"Little kids such as yourself shouldn't work too hard."
Avis came closer to her and he patted her head. Her hair was soft and her body was hot. He didn't care about the sickness that was contaminated, he kept on brushing her hair that was very soft and it relieved his bad thoughts.
"You will have to stab me with your sword or you will shoot me with your gun. Either one is fine when you kill me for sure. I wish you good luck Kaylenna..."
"Get down you little brat!" said the woman from outside the cave.
"Ouch! That hurts!" the little girl whined loudly on the ground when her back is being pressed hard by the woman's dark green nails.
"Who's there?" Avis yelled from the cave and walked out of the entrance to see those three familiar women that is on the ground.
"Uh oh!" the chubby red woman said.
"Shut the fuck up!" said the dark green woman.
"You said the bad word~" the little girl with the violet hair said.
"Well, well? if it isn't the Sanderson sisters!" Avis snickered to himself when he saw those three sisters that he had been working with for years. He had seen them in the computer screen many times, they would always bother the little one that was being smashed on the ground. Such a pity, but it was not his problem.
"Oh haha, you and your lame jokes Avis! We know that you betrayed us just to side with a dangerous thing!"
"She's just a mere HUMAN fulfilling a quest from her master. Can't you show a little sympathy towards this little girl?"
"She is the link that will destroy our orders! You were supposed to gather data about her and you were about to send it to us, but why haven't you done it?"
Avis shrugged his shoulders and made a loud sigh. "Shit happens, I changed mind ladies, tell the boss that I quit."
"You friggen geek!"
"Then how about we have fun together once I stick these babies in you!" Avis summons his gatling gun to shoot at the three women that are on the ground.
"Release your powers you idiots!" she used her nails to release the laser-like powers at Avis. He dodged the powers that is coming towards him and so, he put his gatling gun down to finally use his left robot arm for combat.
"Hmm...so you're finally going to use that thing? Sisters! We are going to destroy this traitor!"
"Okay!" said the red chubby girl.
"..." the violet girl looked away.
Avis's left arm was strong enough to punch down a giant rock in pieces. He has a giant claw to attach to his left hand, but he kept on missing since the three girls were floating around as flying robots would do. Then he took out an object took out of his left arm, a giant bullet that explodes on each hit upon the sky, then the little girl got hit and she fell on the ground. Then Avis grabbed her and place his claws around her small neck.
"Stop right here ladies! If you don't want her dead! I suggest you leave right now!"
"...Ehehe...hahaha!" the woman with the dark green nails laughed, while the chubby red woman looked at her sister with her worried face.
"Help me!" said the little girl.
"Whatever! She's annoying as fuck anyway!" the dark green woman walked closer to Avis and the child.
"Shucks, and here I thought you would have a change of heart."
The woman was finally close enough to Avis and the child on his arm. She smiled at Avis when she raise her hand on her.
"Any last words? My dear sister?"
"!" Avis held the little girl on his arm not knowing what to do. The little girl stayed silent and she looked at her sister...
"None? All righty then!" the woman struck her hand, but it was caught by a pair of turquoise claws.
"What the-?"
"..."
Enid's hair strands were up, her eyelids are dark, and she was snarling like a beast... She threw the woman away from her side and looked down at the ground.
"Kaylenna...is that you?" Avis said still holding the little girl and he takes a good look at her with his robot eye.
"Interrupting the most important thing that I haven't done in weeks...SLEEP! Thank you for all of the noises you gave me just when I was having a good dream!"
"..."
Everyone turned silent when everyone looked at the monster that is roaring out her big mouth. Her appearance was different than before and so, Enid use her gloved knuckles to beat up the woman...
"What the-?"
Everyone had to watch Enid beating up the dark green woman on the face, then the woman teleports away with her face bleeding.
"Is this some kind of sick joke? Me getting beat up by my own enemy?"
"Exactly like her powers...how?" Enid mumbled to herself and she struck her fist onto the woman again. The chubby woman joined in with her sister, but she was punched immediately by Enid's power. The little girl did not do anything at all, she only stare in amazement from Enid's powers that was far more powerful than her sisters.
"It really is her..." she said to herself.
The two women finally backed away, Avis had to smile when they were already at their limits.
"Did you already used up your core already?" Enid smiled at them, "You poor things."
"Get in there!" said the woman when the little girl is clinging to Avis's chest and shaking her head at her.
"Hey! What the hell?"
Avis never knew that a little girl would cling onto his chest. It was an awkward feeling when he almost thought that this represent Kaylenna.
"Well, aren't you going to hit her? Or else do you want to be punished?!" the woman yelled so loud that the little girl trembled, so she pushed Avis away to make a small power on Enid's back.
Enid turned around with her red face and dark circles on her eyes: "You called that an attack? Let me show you how to attack your opponent."
Avis watched Kaylenna using her green-like powers that are about to hit a little girl. He tried to get up to help Enid because of her fever, but he stopped himself when the chubby woman jumped in front of her sister and she teleports with the little girl out of Enid's attack.
"Useless!" said the woman and used up her core to teleport everyone away except Enid and Avis.
"Ah..." Enid collapsed on Avis's arm when he ran towards her to check on her forehead again. His right hand felt the burning forehead and he growled in anger.
"You're really burning up! Damn it Kaylenna! I thought I told to sleep!"
"Too many noises though..." The sick girl whined.
"!"
Enid gave Avis a face that made his chest tighten. She looked like a different person than before, she was always calm and emotionless. Now he can see her big golden eyes so close to his face. Avis heart beat fast when he saw his partner's flustered face, then she went back to sleep around his arms. Avis was wrapping his big arms around her small body..
Somehow his heart was beating fast, he had never felt like this before as Kaylenna was a young human instead of a cyborg. He sighed to himself and carried her back to her blanket. He went back to work and never took another glance at her sleeping face again.
