Chapter 5
Faith
"The New Subject"
Elizabeth stood silently, she was feeling enrage and she can't do anything about it, she was feeling pain and she can't cry for they force her not to, she was feeling scared, since nobody she knows and who to trust is here, she was feeling guilt, for this was all possibe because of her, she stands inside the big circle in the center of the room, with a chain still attached to her, she was thinking of a plan to escape, but she can't think of anything, not without Booker she can't, it may be impossible, for Brooke to somehow appear, but she wasn't giving up hope, it was the only thing that's keeping her sanity.
She was feeling tired and was about to lay down to rest when she gets a reading from her collar, as well did the computers started to act up, "Harred sir, they got her," said one of the men on the computer, Harred turned to Elizabeth, "You know what to do," command Harred, Elizabeth knew it was pointless to protest any longer, she picked both of her hands up in front of her, a tear was starting to appear, she reaches to both ends of the tear, and started to open it with one pull, from the tear was the group of The Control's Men as well was there leader of the group, a blonde cut short hair man.
"Dr. Phase, I trust the job went smoothly," said Harred, coming towards to Phase.
"Not as smoothly as you think Harred," said Phase, Elizabeth sees a young woman being dragged unconscious by the assistants, having a look, she looked asian, she had short black hair with clean cut bangs over her forehead, she wears a black shirt with no sleeves and wears white pants, in her right arm what looks like a tattoo that Elizabeth can't describe, as well was there a tattoo on the woman's right eye with it's 2 shapes, and she was wearing a red glove on her right hand.
"Our new subject, #12, was a fast one, luckily I was able to cut her off and catch her when she was catching her breath," explained Phase, Elizabeth just hated on how these monsters are naming the people by numbers.
The Control Agents brought in a mobile bed and put the woman on it with restraints, "Well, put her in th-" Harred was interrupted by a loud noise as well did the floor shake.
"Oh great, it's him again isn't it," said Phase, the booming noise continued.
"Yes, he wouldn't respond to the drug we kept giving him, he's not like #5, with him we were able to alter his DNA as well did we made a huge effect to his abilities, but #7 didn't had the virus in him, looks like he's going into the tube again," said Harred.
The shook then got so massive, the ceiling began to have debris falling from it, the lights were freaking out, and the loud booming noise began to grew louder.
"Aw sh**, Men, get him under control!" Harred ordered the guards to deal with one of his subjects whose been resisting since he got here, Elizabeth never knew who the man resisting was, all she heard was that he is a being with two sides in him, one side was Demonic, the other was Angelic, that's all she heard, but anyway, she sees all the guards leaving including Harred, all that's left was one guard and Phase.
"Let us have a break shall we, I'm sure you must be very tired Elizabeth," said Phase, he turned away to talk to the guard who was also looking away from Elizabeth, this gives Elizabeth enough time to go and check the woman unconscious, she could see there was something in her right ear, she takes it out and further inspects what else she can do, she sees that the restraints were on, they were automatic, Elizabeth had some practices in unlocking locks, but not with this kind of technology, but she has to try her luck, she reaches by where the controller for the restraints, from 7 feet away, Phase was giving orders.
"Make sure you take this girl to the medical room for further testing," said Phase, the guard nodded and was about to turn to where Elizabeth is, this would of gotten her into trouble if Phase didn't stop the guard.
"Oh yes and one more thing," he started, Elizabeth quickly figures out what to do, she access the restraints to release automatically in 5 minutes, she knew how long it would of take for the woman to wake up from the drug, it happen to her too.
Just when she finished, Phase saw Elizabeth near the unconscious person, "Elizabeth!" he shouted, the guard turn and saw Elizabeth too, like instincts he ran towards Elizabeth and grabbed her left arm.
"Let go of me!" she said, "What were you doing!" Phase asked in anger, he checked to see if the woman was still unconscious and then went straight towards to Elizabeth.
"What were you doing?" he said in a much softer but still angrier voice, "I just wanted-" before Elizabeth could answer, Phase asked another question, "Did you do anything to her?" he quetioned.
"No," lied Elizabeth.
"DID YOU DO ANYTHING TO HER!" he screamed, he grabbed Elizabeth's both arms, Elizabeth was startled but still gave a straight answer.
"NO! I just wanted to look at her, she just looked pretty," said Elizabeth, Phase had an angry look on him, but he then took a deep breathe with his head down, after letting go of Elizabeth, he looked at the guard.
"Take #12 to the Medical room," he ordered again, the guard responded quickly and took the woman away, Elizabeth and Phase were left alone, he grabbed her arm and put her back in her cell.
"Don't you think there was nothing I could do, you told me that a while ago," said Elizabeth, Phase switch on the locked system and turned away from her.
"Everything you do, it matters here, so don't you ever do that again, #1," he said in a dark and cold tone, he left the room, leaving Elizabeth in the dark alone, what she had done, she hopes that it will work somehow.
All Faith saw was darkness, she felt something was holding both her arms and legs, she tries to open her eyes but nothing happened, not until 4 minutes later, the guard managed to get Faith to the Medical room, where just about 4 Doctors were waiting, by the time the guard brought Faith here, Faith was regaining conscious, she saw a speck light though they were a blur, she then hears voices.
"Sorry I'm late, I had to deal with one of our subjects, now, can we start this operation," said Phase who just came in, the guard then went out the door.
"Ofcourse, we just need to insert the syrum," said the other doctor, he takes out a needle that has a purple color syrum in, Faith saw the needle and immediately, she awakens.
"What the hell are you doing," she demanded to know, the doctor were all startled by her.
"Calm down," said Phase, the man she saw was the exact same man who shot a dart at her.
"(This is not good)" Faith thought, she tries to break free but realizes that she was in restraints.
"This won't hurt at all," said Phase, Faith tries to use all her strength, but neither her arms or legs are breaking through the metal restraints, but it was 1 minute later, just before Phase could inject the syrum in her, the latch of the restraints suddenly automatically releases her, Faith didn't hesitate, she kicked the doctor that was in front of her and grabbed the needle before Phase could inject it into her.
Holding the syrum with her left hand, she punched Phase in the face with her right fist, knocking him down.
"How did the Restraints just unlocked itself?" said one of the doctors, Faith didn't have time to figure that one out, she kicks the third doctor that was trying to hold her down, only about 2 doctors were standing, she sees the door and just ran out to it, opening the door and making a break for it through the hallways.
"HEY!" she heard, she looked behind to see the guard beginning to chase her again.
Faith tries to lose him, she see in front of her the hallways split, left to right, Faith just tried her luck and went to the left, but when she did, it was all a dead end, she turned back just to see the guards man in front of her.
"Come on, I won't hurt you if you just-," the guard reached out his arm, Faith ducked from the guard's arms attempting to catch her and she kicked him in the area only for men to know, "GAH!" he screamed out, he put both of his hands down to protect his area, this gives Faith a chance and she used it, she made a right and left hook on the man's face, with a final blow, Faith kicked the guard in the chest, knocking him down.
While the guard moan in pain, Faith hears more guards coming, she looked to her left and saw a vent that she can fit through, she goes to it, pulls out its bars and crawls through it, she escaped in time before any of the guards shows up.
"(Where the hell am I)" was the only thing Faith thought, was she in some facility, if so, what were they about to inject her with, she continues to crawl through the vent, making a left turn and jumping down to another path of the vent and so forth, when she continued on, she heard voices from below her, more of these doctors.
Faith sees a vent with bars from below in front of her, growing curious, she looked down where she could see through the bars, what she saw made her almost freaked out, there were 3 doctors, and what they were surrounding was a guy who was latched down by the metal restraints, he wears a white hoodie with a black shirt underneath, he also wears blue jeans and sneakers, he had a short brown hair cut, she also saw the tattoo in his left arm much like hers, his eyes were closed which means he was out cold just like what happened with Faith, the guy had a some kind of head gear machine attached to his top head and it has wires attached to it.
"(What are they doing to him?!)" Faith thought, the doctors were working on what ever they were doing until they got a distress call.
"Attention, this is an emergency announcement, all guards must be on guard of a run away subject #12, AKA, Faith Connors, all advise to proceed this subject with extreme cautio-," the speaker was interrupted by a loud explosion that Faith could hear from farther away from the vent, "One more Announcement, can any Available Doctors come and subdue #7, do whatever necessary."
After the announcement was made, the 3 doctors left the room to deal with who ever this #7 was.
"(Did they just call me #12, what the hell does that mean, I'm a test subject?)" Faith thought, this was all just confusing her, the only thing she needs to focuse now is how to get out of here, when Faith saw all the doctors left, she kicked open the bars and went down from the vent, landing on her feet in the room where this man was unconscious in, she looked at the man's face when she saw the papers that was on the desk right next to him, out of curiousity, she looked over the papers and saw his name.
"Desmond Miles, #4."
From what the files of Desmond shows, the doctors were looking for something in him, Faith turned her back on Desmond.
"Researching for memories still in progress, difficulty is mild but the subject's subconscious is fighting back, in time it weakens for his mind is in a state of confusion, as well did the rest," Faith reads, from what she got is that they were looking through his memories.
Faith didn't think this was possible, she still can't believe it, she kept reading until she hears a scream, she turns and see Desmond being shocked by the head gear he wears, this scared the sh** out of Faith as he screams in pain, Faith follows the wires that was connected to the head gear and see it was plugged by a generator, like instincts, Faith grabs the wire that was connected to the generator and tries to pull it out.
"Come on!" Faith said, Desmonds screams began to grew louder, he was in so much pain until Faith finally unplugs the machine, shutting off the electric shock that Desmond was getting, she goes over to him and remove the head gear, this is when she hears Desmonds voice.
He was muttering but she heard him saying, "The Apple is gone, the World was in danger," he said, Faith goes to the controller and unlocked the restraints, "I...stopped it," Desmond said, after Faith freed Desmond, she snaps her fingers in front of his face.
"Hey wake up!" said Faith, waking Desmond up to reality, he got up a little while rubbing his head.
"What?" Desmond was beginning to open his eyes, when he did, the first thing he notice was Faith, he tries to get up.
"What the...WHOA!" Desmond fell off the bed in the other side from where Faith is, she looked over to where Desmond fell and went around to help him up.
"Hey, I got you," said Faith, she picked Desmond up but he was still having a hard time standing, he almost collapse but Faith caught him, she helped him sit down in a chair.
"Where am I?" asked Desmond.
"You got me, I saw you in pain with that thing connected to you," explained Faith, she pointed out the machine she unplugged, "It's hard to explain where we are, I'm just finding a way to get out," Faith explained.
Desmond was just looking all around him, still in dazed, "You okay?" Faith asked, finally Desmond got his mind clear.
"Yea, so wait, your telling me you have no idea where we are," said Desmond, having a head ache, "Well, I think I will soon," said Faith.
Faith was busy giving a thought of the situation she was in, she had no idea who this guy was, but what they were doing to him, she couldn't just leave him like this, from behind her she could hear voices coming out from the door, she turned to see the doctors were returning.
"Oh sh**," cuss Faith, she shuts the door and quickly gets the mobile bed and blocked the door with it.
"What are you doing?" asked Desmond.
"They're coming, we got to get out of here now," warned Faith.
Desmond still doesn't know who 'They' was exactly, but if it was the same guy that was giving him this horrible shock thearapy, then he's willing to get out of here as much as this woman was.
"How do we get out," Desmond questioned, "From here," Faith pointed out the vent she crawled in, she picked herself up in it, while up there, she hears the doctors trying to get in, making out an alarm.
"Are you coming or not?" Faith said, Desmond got up from the chair.
"What other choice do I have?" said Desmond, he follows faith into the opening way of the vent from above, and crawled away with Faith through the air duct, from behind, they could hear the doctors tring to break in by force, but by the time they got in, Faith and Desmond were already gone, they both found another vent which leads to the hallways, Faith kicked open the vent and got out with Desmond.
"Looks all clear," said Faith.
From Desmonds Perspective, he was still confused, he has no idea where he is, he has no clue about who this girl is, and he can barely remember where he was last time, the first thing that really bugs him it's that if he can trust this girl, he slowly took a step back, heading to the left side of the hallway, Faith noticed him about to leave, "Where are you going?" Faith asked.
"Look, thanks for getting me out of there, but I think I can get out on my own, so.." Desmond wasn't willing the risk into just trusting the girl.
"Well don't go that way!" shouted Faith, Desmond didn't understand what she meant, until he was almost shot from his right shoulder by an actual bullet.
"What the f***," cussed Desmond, he hears screamings of guards coming from behind, ordering both of them to surrender, "This way!" said Faith, Desmond didn't really mind following her orders, he started to run behind with Faith.
"What the hell do this guys want!" asked Desmond, Faith didn't answer, she ran far ahead of Desmond, making a tight turn to the left of the hallway, Desmond did his best to try and catch up to Faith, the place they were in has nothing but twist and turn, Faith can't even tell if she was going the right way, all she has to do was keep running, they were far ahead from the guards, it was from there Faith has led both her and Desmond to a dead end.
"Dammit, this place is like f***ing a maze," commented Desmond, the only thing there was a door on the left side where Desmond was, he opens it only find out it only leads to the bathroom with no windows or other doors whats so ever, and then there were the big doors that has a sign that saids, "Containment Center", Faith tries to open them but they were locked.
"Hey Des, help me open this," she tries to kick the door in, Desmond was looking behind him for the guards but he then comes to Faith to help, "Will just kicking it help?" asked Desmond.
"If you got any better Ideas, I'm all ears," said Faith, sounding a bit irritated, Desmond pushed the door with Faith but neither both of them could get it open.
"Maybe there's like a key or something," said Desmond.
"You see any of that around?" asked Faith, Desmond looked around but caught up what she was trying to say, "Look, It was just a suggestion," said Desmond, "Well think of a better one!" argued Faith.
"Hey, listen lady, I don't who you are, but I followed you just because I thought you could get us out of here, clearly I was wrong," said Desmond.
"Hey, if your going to keep yelling at me, could you at least do so while finding a way in, our chance in escaping isn't just going to come out of the door!" argued Faith, when Faith finished those sentence, the big doors that were right beside Faith and Desmond suddenly burst open by an explosion and were broken off and hit the both of them, knocking them down.
"Ow!" sounded out Desmond, Faith tries to get to broken door off of her, Desmond already got the door off of him and went to help Faith, he pushed the door off of her, he tries to help her but Faith was able to pick her body up with her head up by herself.
"What the hell was that," asked Faith, Desmond looked to where the explosion came from, and from there, he and Faith got up to there feet and saw what they cannot believe.
It was a man, he was wearing a gray shirt, over it he wears a black and red coat, wearing black jeans and black boots, he had black hair with some silver highlights on it (that's how it looks to me), he was in restraints inside a giant tube, in a bed but it was standing up, he was inside a glass tube but there was a big hole that looked like it was smashed through in front of the man, where Faith and Desmond could see his face, his eyes were shinning blood red, a so was his entire body, Faith and Desmond stayed outside of the room.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing here!" said the voice of a woman calling out to Faith and Desmond, she was wearing a gray colored containment suit, Desmond and Faith see the woman who was working on the machine that seems to be whats keeping the man in red contain, but just barely.
"What the hell is this!" said Desmond, Faith kept quit, mostly because she has nothing to say to describe this.
"It's the subjects, Cassey we have to get them out of the way!" said another man, also wearing the containment suit.
"We don't have time, he's losing control!" said Cassey, the man in restraints was starting to glow brighter as well was there fire coming out of him, two types of fire, one blue and one red, both mixing together around the silver hair man.
"YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE F***ING WITH ME!" roared the man in restraints, he let out another burst of explosion, this made the doctors, even Desmond and Faith take cover, they both took cover behind the wall beside the opening door.
The doctors were also taking cover, when Cassey looked up, she sees the computers including the machines are starting to malfunction, Cassey thought that the machine that she and her other friends built can withstand any powerful beings, but this wasn't just a being, they were dealing with a hybrid, a cross between an Angel and Demon.
"Oh no," Cassey said, the restraints that locked down the man were broken off by the man's pure strength, "(This is no man, hell, he's not even human)", Faith thought.
The man was free, he jumped down, and exited out the broken tube through its hole he made, Cassey brought out her radio.
"EMERGENCY, SUBJECT NUMBER 7 IS OUT, I REPEAT, NUMBER 7 IS FREE," called out Cassey, the man who was called #7 turned to see the woman, the fire bean to disappear around him, as well did the red energy from him began to fade, it was his red eyes that last the longest, "While your on that, you can tell them that they better not mess with Ebony and Ivory," the man suddenly shows a sword in his back.
"And one last thing," he said, Faith and Desmond comes out of cover and see the man now looking to be human, they even saw his eyes that were blood red a second ago but now shows he has blue eyes, "It's not #7, okay," he started, Faith and Desmond witness it as he pulls out his swords and flips it, catching it in his left hand.
"It's Dante, my name is Dante."
