The shadow let go of Hotoru and turned around to face her. He was wearing a steampunk style mask. She watches as he walks up to her. Taya panics and begins to back away slowly. He stops in his tracks. He turns back around running. He jumps onto the rooftop, and looks at her one last time before taking off. Taya stood there shocked. She had not a clue who this person was that saved her. She got up. She looked at Hotoru giving him a solid kick in the stomach before walking inside.
Three days go by. The rescue has started to get really busy with even more families leaving. Taya hadn't seen Hotoru ever since that night happened. Taya was happy she didn't have to see him anymore. Taya was out in the yard again working the night shift. She saw a shadow move in front of her. She turned around to see the same shadow from before standing on the roof looking at her. She begins shaking. " Hello?" she asked. It waved at her hopping down. It walked up to her. She backs away. " Should I know you?" It raised it's hand. She watched as it reached for her mask slowly taking it off.
The mask was removed and a familiar face was revealed under it. Fletch looked at her daughter smiling. She runs and hugs him. He hugs her back. " Dad!" she shouted. Fletch puts his hand over her mouth. " Shh." He whispers. He removes his hand from her mouth. " Was that you who took care of Hotoru?" she asked. He nods. " Yep no one touches daddy's little girl." He hugs her tight. " I've missed you so much." Taya hugs him back. " I've missed you too. You and mom both." Taya pulls away. " You might want to get going now." She whispers. Fletch nods. He kisses her check. " I'll be back tomorrow." Taya frowns. " I won't have the night shift tomorrow." Fletch chuckles. " What makes you think I'm meeting you here?" He runs off.
Taya went home. She sat on her bed pulling out her journal.
Entry Number Six
I saw dad tonight. He looks really ill. I hope he is doing okay. He misses mom just as much as I. I wish I could help but I can't. It makes me feel helpless. I know what I have to do now. I have to look for my mom. I have to bring my family together.
Taya put her journal up. She laid down on the bed going to sleep.
" she's waking up." Tyne's eyes slowly opened. She looked around the room. She had been strapped down to the table. She growled looking at the scientists who were watching her. " What have you bastards done this time?" she asked. " Do you know where you are Tyne? Or should we say Tina?" they asked. Tyne growled. " Yeah here with you assholes!" Tyne struggled against the chains. Her anger rises. " Send her to the arena. It's time for the ultimate test." She blacked out on the table.
They took Tyne down to the arena that they had set up underground in the facility. Tyne woke up. She got her feet. She ran to the door banging on it. " Let me go you bastards!" she growled pounding on the door. The floor in the center of the room opened. She turns around to see a figure laying in the cage. The cage opens and the figure gets to his feet. It was a copy of her. The clone smiled. " Hello dear sister." Tyne growled. She pulled out her heat blades. Her visor went down. The clone took her defense stance. She was aching to use her new strength against Tyne.
Tyne ran at her. She lit her heat blades. Her adrenaline wasn't high enough for her to use her heat energy. She jumped at her clone. Her clone smiled lifting her hand up. She blew Tyne back. Tyne landed harshly onto her back. Tyne cried out in pain. She gets back on her feet. Her eyes turned red. " Now you've really pissed me off!" Her fists began glowing flames. She slammed them both together. A circle with the dragon head in the middle appeared. " Too bad for you I have no intention of losing." She knew once she did this the old man and his friend would set her family free. Her clone growled. Her eyes turned blue. She charged for Tyne. Tyne smiled jumping into the air. She raised one fist. She punched her clone dead in the face sending her back.
Tyne grabbed her heat blades. The flames from her fists surrounded the blades. She charged for her clone.
The old man sensed Tyne had engaged in battle. He ran over to the housing side of the facility. He kicked in the door to Tyler's and Shay's cabin. " It's time little ones." Shay nods. He lifts Tyler up carrying him out of there. Raven lead them over to the hole he had cut in the fence. " Go your mother will join you soon." Shay nods. " Thanks." He runs off with Tyler.
Fletch was on his way there when he spotted his kids running at him. He smiles snatching them into his arms. " Where's your mother?" he asked. Tyler pointed at the facility weakly. " Alright there's someone waiting for you. Go to them while I go get your mom." Shay nods. He runs off. Fletch sneaks into the grounds.
He goes over to the laboratory. He touches the wall to find it getting hot. It started to glow. He backed up watching as the wall exploded outward. Tyne stood there. She collapsed. Fletch lifted her up running out of there. He got to the fence climbing under it. He put Tyne on his back so he could keep his hands open. He ran up the hill to find Kaliska and Aaron standing there. He smiled. " I have her let's go." They nodded and left.
