Chapter eight: Rescue time. No one's P.O.V.
L then Watari come out of the bushes with a team behind them all set in their outfits ready to go against the enemy.
Rodger and Matt come out of their hiding place and go towards them.
"They are being held in there." Rodger nods to the warehouse. "The inside is remodelled for these sick experiments and there appears to be only one man behind it all." He reports.
L brings his thumb to rest on his bottom lip. "Did you investigate the inside or did you see it from out here?"
"We followed the trail to make sure we knew which way to go and to see if Near is safe." Matt says. "We only watched from the windows when we got to where they are. We did not go in and only watched for a little bit before coming back outside."
"There are many in cages. Most are already victims of the man's sick experiments with the rest not having been transformed yet. He seems to be working at a fast pace. It is unknown if all will follow his orders but those that do call him master." Rodger adds.
"There also appears to be those that have become lost into the savage animal inside them like they have lost control of their body to the animal they now seem to share their body with." Matt finishes.
L nods. "Alright. We'll need your help in this but get out if it starts to get dangerous or crazy." He instructs while Watari gives the two bullet proof vests as some protection along with a pistol.
"I can make some smoke bombs if I have the technology." Matt says once he is ready.
L shakes his head. "No time." He tells the younger. "We need to get in there now and take him down. We will be getting everyone in the cages freedom and in the end we plan to return them to their families." He gives the plan to everyone so they know what they are doing.
Matt nods glancing down for a moment then looks to the building. "Let's do this." He says since everyone is now ready.
"Lead the way." L agrees.
The group follows Matt and Rodger into the warehouse trying to stay quiet. They arrive to the door and they all get into positions ready to charge in there.
All have their weapons ready to use.
Once L and Watari confirm everyone is ready then they give the signal.
The group storms into the place.
"Police! Freeze and put your hands in the air!" One of the group members shouts.
The man spins around staring wide eyed in surprise as the group comes in. He panics and starts opening certain cages. "ATTACK!" He screams in pure panic.
The ones that he let loose go towards the group following their masters orders.
The panther jumps towards Watari transforming into a panther as he jumps.
Watari quickly moves out of the way and uses his gun to block the panthers attack as the panther tries to bite the older man only to clamp down onto the gun.
The man is hurrying and letting loose those that are obedient to him trying to outnumber the group so he hopes he won't be caught.
Some of the members of the group are busy battling the animals sent to attack them and the number of those going after the man is shirking because of more animals being released.
L is now fighting a brown fox as he tries to get past the fox to hopefully get to the man to take him down. "Stop this." He commands. "What happened to you wasn't fair and we can take you back to your family. Don't you want to see them again?" He tries to reason with the fox.
Little did he know that there was someone sneaking up behind him.
Matt goes for the cage Near is in but someone who is loyal to the man steps between the red head and Near's cage. Matt skids to a stop and finds he is now facing this hybrid person who is blocking his way. "Don't do this." He pleads.
The hybrid person starts advancing towards Matt claws out ready to strike.
"Matt!" Near calls in worry as he sees this going on from his cage. He grabs onto the bars of his cage. "It's like Beyond all over again." He whimpers to himself. He starts looking for a way out but of course the man isn't stupid enough to have given him a chance to escape again. "No Matt!" He starts to feel panic rise into him and he feels that soft tug towards letting his inner animal take over but he resists…. Only to start thinking that maybe he can save Matt if he lets go going into the animal state but he isn't sure if he can revert back to normal after rescuing Matt…..
