Chapter Sixteen

"Guys, what are we gonna do?! I'm pretty sure Helena's found Teal already."

"Simple, we gotta go and save her. Let's go."

Asuka, Lili, Xiaoyu and Miharu left from behind the bushes and ran towards the JCo building, knocking down whatever guards were left in front of it.

"Do you think she's still in the lab?" Lili asked as they ran inside of the building.

"Only one way to found out." Xiaoyu said.

A loud siren began to sound over the building's speaker system, causing all of the girls to cover their ears.

"Intruder alert. Intruder alert." The automated voice said over the speaker. "Take out anyone who isn't a Jubilee Corporation worker. Intruder alert, intruder alert..."

"Aw damn, now their coming after us too!" Asuka said.

"We can't stop." Xiaoyu said. "Come on!"

The continued to ran down the hall, fighting off guards the suddenly appeared out of no where trying to take them down first. Two guards grabbed Lili from behind and she shrieked, and out of instinct, Asuka turned around and bicycle kicked both of them. The guards fell to the ground and Asuka helped Lili to her feet.

"Asuka...you saved me? Thank you." Lili said, her eyes twinkling with happiness.

"Don't sweat it, you probably would've done the same thing for me." Asuka said.

"Um..." Lili joked.

"Hey!"

"I'm joking! Thanks again." Lili looked around. "Uh oh, where did Xiao and Miharu go?"

"Damn, we lost them." Asuka looked around as well, just as more guards circled her and Lili.

"Put your hands up!" One of the guards said.

"Surrender now!" Another one said.

Both girls lifted their hands up slowly and looked at each other.

"Don't tell me you guys are policemen too?" Asuka smirked.

"Shut up! Don't talk!" Another guard said.

Asuka looked at Lili again and smiled, and Lili returned it with a smile of her own. With a single head nod, they quickly lowered their hands and began fighting off the big group of guards.

"Xiao...Xiao, wait up!"

Xiaoyu turned around and stopped running suddenly, when she saw how far Miharu was from her.

"Sorry Miharu," She said, running back to her.

"It's okay..." Miharu breathed out heavily. "All of this running is new to me."

"I know, you're pretty lazy." Xiaoyu joked.

"Very funny..." Miharu laughed. "Oh no, where's Asuka and Lili?"

Xiaoyu looked around the dark hallway and frowned. "We must've gotten separated."

"Who knows, maybe they did that on purpose." Miharu shrugged.

"You noticed how much they bicker too? Xiaoyu giggled. "They're like sisters."

"I know, right?" Miharu said, and sighed lightly. "We gotta get to the lab, and quick."

"Right. Let's go."

The two girls started running down the hall again, just as three guards turned the corner in front of them. Knocking them down easily with powerful attacks, Xiao and Miharu continued their way to the lab. They got up to two big doors and stopped.

"Which ways the lab?" Miharu asked.

"I dunno, you're the techno genius not me. Do you have the layout of the building you printed at the hotel?"

"No, I left it at the hotel."

"Dammit...um, let's try this door."

Xiao and Miharu walked through the door on the left and ended up in a room. It was dark, and Miharu felt the wall for the light switch, finally founding it. The room light up brightly and they looked around.

"This isn't the lab." Xiaoyu said.

"No, it looks like an infirmary." Miharu said.

"Why would they have an infirmary in here? Let alone a dark, empty one." Xiaoyu asked.

"To hold stupid little brats like you in it when you get hurt." A familiar, snotty voice said behind them.

The girls turned around and seen a woman standing before them. Her short black hair, red kimono-like dress, and cocky smile she sported on her face looked for too familiar to Xiaoyu.

"Anna." Xiao sneered. "What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you the same thing, baby girl. Didn't you learn from when you double-crossed me the last time?" Anna asked. "You should know by now to stop putting your nose in other people's business."

"This is my business. My best friend's in danger. Now move, bitch." Xiaoyu said.

"Aw, so mean." Anna said, putting her hands on her hips. She quickly got into her fighting stance. "If you want me to move, you're gonna have to make me."

Xiaoyu smirked, and her and Miharu got into theirs as well. "With pleasure. This beating your about to get is long overdue."

They ran towards Anna and began hitting her with punches and kicks, and Anna dodged them easily. She suddenly grabbed Miharu and kicked her, causing her to slide across the ground. Xiao attempted to hit her again and most of the hits connected, but Anna grabbed her arm and twisted it back, causing her to yelp in pain. She threw Xiao in the air, and kicked her also, causing her to crash into the desk on the other side of the room. Miharu ran over to Xiaoyu and helped her up.

"Xiao! Are you okay?" Miharu asked.

"I'm fine." Xiaoyu coughed out.

"Damn, I really thought this would be harder." Anna laughed. "You disappoint me, Ling. Why did I choose you for that Shin Kamiya assignment in the first place?"

Xiaoyu felt herself become angrier and looked at Miharu. Miharu looked at her as well, and smiled.

"Is now a good time to try that tag team move we've been working on?" Miharu asked.

Xiaoyu smiled back and nodded. "Now's the perfect time to try it out."

The lab was getting more destroyed by the second. Teal found herself being pushed and kicked around by both Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu, but still was able to keep up with them, hitting both of them with punches and kicks, and some of her powers as well. Yoshimitsu ran towards Teal again with his sword and she dodged it, attempting to hit him, but was punched by Kunimitsu quickly, causing her to stumble backwards. Kunimitsu tackled her to the ground and attempted to stab her, but Teal blasted her backwards. She stood up and felt something leaking from her mouth and wiped it. Teal became angrier when she realized it was blood, and her eyes began turning purple.

"Enough, enough!" A deep voice said, interrupting the fight.

Teal, along with Kunimitsu and Yoshimitsu stopped and looked at the door. A man who looked to be in his late 40's/early 50's was standing there, an evil smirk on his face. He looked like Jin...but it wasn't him.

"Kazuya?" Teal said, realizing who he was.

"Yakima, you actually impress me." Kazuya said. "I really thought you were some bumbling, 18 year old idiot who didn't know how to use her powers. But I was really wrong about you."

Teal didn't say anything, she just glared at him as he walked behind her and sniffed her neck. Dammit, he does that neck sniffing shit too? She thought as she rolled her eyes. Kazuya suddenly hit her in the back on her neck hard, causing her to fall to the ground and bump her head, knocking her out instantly. He looked down at Teal's unconscious body, and back up at Yoshimitsu and Kunimitsu, shaking his head.

"If you want something done right, I guess you gotta do it yourself. That was all you had to do to her." He said, scolding the two of them. Kazuya looked at the door and called out to the rest of the guards, "Take her. Tell Helena that Teal Yakima has been captured, and we're taking her back to G Corporation."

…...

Teal opened her eyes slowly and looked around the unknown room. It looked like another lab, but she was pretty sure she wasn't in JCo. She tried to move, but realized she was chained to the table, which was facing upright. She tried to use her powers to break the chains, but it didn't work either. Damn, they must have some type of resistant on these chains, she thought as she continued to struggle to get out of it.

"Finally, you're up." She heard Helena's voice say.

Teal looked to her left and felt her blood beginning to boil. "Let me out of here, bitch." She sneered through her teeth.

"Not yet. Our mission is far from over." Helena said.

"Our?"

"Oh, I didn't tell you? JCo and G Corp have put their differences aside for this project that we've decided to work on together."

You have got to be kidding me, Teal thought angrily.

"Explains why that manko knocked me out in the first place." Teal said out loud.

"Ouch, that really hurt." Kazuya chuckled as he walked into the lab, with Anna a couple of the JCo guards behind him.

"What...do you guys want from me!" Teal yelled.

"You still haven't figured it out yet? We want your powers, but it would be more effective if we had you and your powers, because you can control it pretty well." Kazuya said, "And I just came up with a brillant plan, while you were knocked out of course."

"Which is what."

"You'll see. Lower the table, let's get this started." Helena said.

One of the scientist in the lab lowered the table Teal was chained to, to the point where she was looking up at all of them.

"Let me go! I swear to fucking God-" Teal started.

"Shh shh..." Helena said, petting Teal's hair with her hand. "It'll all be over soon."

As the other scientist walked over to her, she noticed a HUGE syringe in his hand and froze in horror. If it was one thing Teal was terrified of, it was needles. Her heart began pounding so fast, she thought it was going to burst out of her chest. He bought the syringe closer to her neck, and she began breathing heavily as she looked up at the evil smiles on Kazuya and Helena's faces. Her eyes turned blurry and purple, but nothing happened. It was like a vision was trying to come through, but something was interrupting it. As the needle went into her neck, Teal's screams could be heard throughout the entire building.
