Unwanted Path

Chapter 19

Rage

Zareth pulled Dannys old body to him for a moment, a gentle kiss to the forehead before he finally put her down and stood. He looked around the pipe filled room. He wasn't to sure how big the room was or how many of the androids were in there. But he didn't care either. He turned to Midnight who looked scared around the room. She knew her brothers were in the room, but she like Danny was never given a program to fight with.. She was rather scared.

"Go, I'm staying behind, I want to make sure these jerks don't go after anyone ever again.' Zareth stood and walked into the steam. Midnight lost sight of him almost instantly. She ran toward the doors.

Zareth wasn't sure where he was going, actually he wasn't sure if he ever cared. His usually perfectly quaffed hair was hanging or caked to his forehead because of sweat. His shirt was in tatters along his back, His injured palm and leg were forgotten. A red ting kept flashing in his optics.

'Are we going to be alright Zareth?' Dannys voice perked up from her tiny spot in the back of his mind.

'We will be just fine Danny.' Zanes voice broke the silence.

'We're just mad that people keep hurting you.'

'But they went after Zareth.'

"Your my priority." Zareth said others "I can't lose you." Zareth said. Danny could feel an amused smile from Dareth. "Dareth will turn into a huge puddle of brown and it'll turn me into one moppy Zareth."

'Oh we can't have that.' Danny giggled. Zareth chuckled.

"Now sit back babe."

Zareth looked around at the room once more feeling as if he were being watched by someone. He jumped behind a pipe. A shot tinked the side of a pipe and ricochets off.

"Oh you missed! Want you bullet back?!" Zareth yelled over the hissing of the pipe. There was a crack in it now. He smiled and started to twist the pipes shift on any and every set he found. He could hear the whistling all around him. It wasn't enough to do much damage, but it set off alarms all over the plant. Everyone now knew to leave if they valued their existenceexistence.

"Alright Zareth you can stop now." Spencers voice came over the PA.

"Stop...stop what? I don't know what you mean." One of the androids came around a set of pipes. It was 7, Zareth had a personal vendettavendetta against this particular one for knocking Danny down in the snow and spilling the ingredientsingredients to make the potstickers.

7 ran forward punching at Zareth. Zareth dodged and grabbed 7s arm spinning him around. Zareth grabbed 7s arms and pressed his knee into its back. Zareth pulled and the arms made a cracking noise. The android shook its head trying to get Zareth to stop. Zareths eyes flashed red and he leaned in.

"When we asked you to stop hurting Danny...you kept coming...twice now you hurt her. You destroyed her body! I will not stop." He yelled pulling the androids arms clean from his body. He used one of the arms to hit the head right off his shoulders.

"Five down...six more." Zareth whispered to no one. Another came around the corner. Zareth used his momentum and threw him onto some equipment. It steamed, and sparked. Soon enough there was a sizeable fire going on from there. Smoke was added to the steam. It made it twice as hard to see.

'Zareth please you need to get out.' Danny said. Zareth didn't hear her. Or he just chose to ignore her. Zareth brushed against a door and opened it. Within was a large table with chairs. The walls were covered in the same carpet as the floor. It looked like an old audio room from an out of date high school. It was meant to cancel out sound. He looked around and and nearly jumped out of his socks if he had any on. His sandshoes had disappeared when he was taken captive. So every time he ran his feet sounded like a human running till his heals hit the ground. It honestly to him sounded like a cowboy walking.

"Oh there you are." 4 said from the media center door. Zareth turned around. This android had been a pain in his side since he discovered he existed. He was the one who held Danny in her car after purposefully wrecking her. He ran forward throwing a chair at the android.

"Oh you getting serious now aren't you punk." 4 brushed the chair aside as if it were a fly. Zareth knew this guy was actually going to be a challenge. He threw a punch at 4. Zareths hand brushed against 4s head. 4 cringed having felt it. He threw his own punch low hitting Zareths chest right where the incision was. The wound reopened. He then kicked out cliping Zareths leg once again right on the wound. Zareth ended up kneeling from the pain.

"Right where you should be Zareth. In front of me, on your knees, bowing. You had no right to touch my sister, and corrupt her mind. You never deserved her. You or that...piss ant of a human...Dareth."

'He is no brother of mine.' Danny spat within Zareths head. Zareth chuckled.

"Oh what's so funny patchwork man?"

"You sister said fuck off." Zareth said pointed to his head.

"What did you do to Danny?" 4 yelled. Zareth shook his head and put his arms up again.

"ME!" Zareth yelled. "ME!" His face went from the snarky sarcastic goofball Danny had grown to love, Into that of complete rage. The handsome smile was gone, it was replaced by him gritting his teeth as he spoke. He spat his toothpick across the table. "I was trying to save her and you bastards shot her! I had no choice! I had to pull her microprocessor into myself! She's in my head!" Zareth yelled his fist came up connecting with 4s chin. His fist crunched right through 4s chin, jaw, and nose before breaking free. Pieces of sinthaskin, metal, nuts and bolts rained down on the floor. 4 grabbed the huge hole in his face.

'Not mad are you?' Danny asked. Zareth could feel her amusement. It gave him a bit of an adrenaline boost as he took the coffee machine on a small table to his right and slammed it down on 4s head. 4s body hit the floor with a satisfying thud. Zareth gave a small smile before continuing through another door. He looked around a hallway and spotted something curious to him. He saw what looked like a door that had a bunch of locks on it. He walked over to said door and looked at the massive lock. He smiled to himself and leaned down.

'You can open that?'

'Of course, I am a nindroid after all' To Danny Zane was always so nice to her. She suspected it had something to do with Zareth. They were really good friends after all.

'Oh my gosh you three are so awesome.' Danny giggled. Zareth smiled.

"You ain't seen nothing yet toots." Zareth said and the lock clicked. Zareth opened the door and his eyes grew wider than the sun. It was wall to wall guns, rocket launchers, sniper rifles...this was an armory. Zareth ran forward and picked up a black bag and filled it with a box of grenades.

'Zareth what are you doing? Thats not very ninja.' Dareth said.

"The rules are out the door...they hurt my Dannygirl." Zareth felt a small unusual feeling from Danny when he said Dannygirl. He wasn't a bad feeling actually it's pretty good. He looked around at the cameras in the room and flipped it off before walking back into the hallway. He popped a pin from the grenade and lobbed it down the hallway. He jumped back into the room.

'Oh that's a great idea...jump into the room with even bigger explosives..that's really safe.' Dareth said.

The explosion rocked the room. Zareth walked over to another spot in the ammo room. He looked around and smiled. "I got it." He snatched something from the shelf and walked out of the room and put it against the wall and set the timer for 15 minutes.

"Let's blow this popsicle stand." He said and walked toward the steam room again.

"And where do you think your going?" Zareth turned to see Spencer standing there, a pistol in her hand. She had it poised at him.

"How about you come back to the room huh? I can rebuild Danny a body and we can get started with looking over that body of yours." Zareth didn't move from his spot.

"I was going to let you live as a thanks for creating one of my best friends." Zareth said and shook his head. "Now I'm not sure if I want to." He said.

The gun went off. The bullet went right through his left shoulder and lodging itself through the wall. Zareths yell of pain was coupled with that of Danny who felt it also. Zareths hand clamped down on his shoulder blood seeping through his fingers.

"You...kill me? Your funny Zareth." She said and smiled looking out the door. Their were two androids right there, and the third one on a computer. Zareth wasn't to sure what it was they were doing. Zareth shoved the other two back into the room and pulled out a grenade, popped the pin, then threw it in and closed the door.

"Might want to run." Zareth said Spencer gasped and ran. Luckily she ran into the room with all the steam. Her gun had fallen to the floor. Zareth ran after her. She'd know how to get out. Outside the air was far more fresh than inside the boiler room which was still burning, but not as hard since the room was steaming. There was a lot of moisture in the air.

Zareth could feel that Danny was a little relieved with them being outside.

"Midnight!" Spencer yelled and hid behind the android. "That man is crazy!"

"Says the woman who created an android to follow a cyborg and then had her killed." Midnight said. Spencer gasped and looked around at her creation.

"Your working with them."

"I'm not working for anyone mother. I just desire to exist, that is all. With you, more then likely I'll be destroyed once I've outlived my usefulness." Midnight said. "I want to live mother!" She yelled Zareth smiled.

"At least you have one sibling who isn't nuts." Zareth said. He felt Danny smile.

"Yes...but then...what's to become of her when she reaches the outside world."

'I'm not to sure. Skies the limit for her babe. She'll be fine."

"Then what do you plan to do with me?"

"I have already summoned the local authorities." Midnight said Before she goes...should we let her watch the fireworks?" Zareth asked.

"Fireworks?" They both said. Zareth smiled just as the building exploded, The bomb blew within the ammo room which caused a chain reaction. The whole building exploded into a fiery hell.
