"AAAHH!!" Clare landed on Kiries's body, and the two safely fell into a pile of soft foam. "Where are we!?"
"Relax. We got ambushed by a teleport device." Kiries gets up, and despite Clare still on, she falls into the foam.
"Get up. We need to find James."
"Alright, jeez."
Kiries forcefully lifts the sliding door, exits the storage area, and immediately goes on slaughtering those who are caught in the line of sight. Cut off their throat, then proceed to drag the spine down so their head sank into the torso, eating their heart to refuel their infected body.
Clare watches the brutality and painful the way Kiries kills, making her want to throw up, but think about it: James isn't as different as Kiries.
Wiping off the blood stain. Katie dragged Clare through the hall, trying to find James. They keep on moving. They keep moving into the facility.
"I think we lost, Kiries. Can you... Y'know..."
"I'm not fully integrated with machinery, you know. I keep most of my guts—liver, stomach, heart, and lungs. But not seeing through walls like James."
"Right, let's find a map or something."
"Nah." Kiries assassinated a staff member, then proceeded to split her head open, her finger stabbed the brain for a good 10 seconds before dropping it on the ground. "Got the map. We are very deep down at floor -20"
"Cool, we need to go up then. James is probably looking for us now."
"Wait... I want to ask something..."
Hmmm?"
Kiries leads Clare toward the exit. On the way, Kiries questions Clare about:
"Are you two dating?"
"What? No, of course not," she giggles. "We aren't even cuddling. Well... I do sometimes, laying on him."
Kiries's voice went down, deeper. "I see..." she sighed.
"What's wrong? You seem down."
"Nothing, just not feeling well while holding myself together, not letting the pieces of flesh fall off my face."
"I can't tell if you're saying that literally or metaphorically."
"I can hardly express feelings; that's why I always keep the emo-like style."
The whole place was shaking like something strong had erupted above the facility.
Dust and tiny stones fall from the ceiling. A battle is coming.
"This place is unsteady, or they found him."
"We need to move fast...."
Kiries busted the elevator roof, her tendril wrapped around Clare tightly, and her Claws, acting like spider legs, climbed up. She reached from floor -20 to floor -13.
"Great, dead end... I'm breaking through this floor."
"Wait, don't!"
The elevator door exploded open, and Kiries rushed out, grabbed a guard's gun, shot the ones behind this core, emptied the magazine, and then stabbed it into the core. She continued to rush through this sector, killing anyone she could lay her sharp metal claws at. Not sparing those who stand in their way.
Taking a scientist, her claws ripped his limbs out and yanked off the ribcage for the heart. She then uses the Finger ID to open the next lift. She is like an oversized centipede with blades around her body.
Kiries planted the bomb on the lift before climbing up on her own with Clare behind her back.
"I'm covered in blood and Core's blood, yunk..."
"Try to get used to it, You will be like that a lot around us."
Bullets and missiles flew up above the girls. Kiries's claws stopped the shots from getting Clare. She activated the bomb, and the whole lift below detonated, screams echoing through the tunnel where no one could save them from collapsing.
"Horrific..."
"Thanks... we should be with James soon."
The sounds of metal being pierced alert the personnel around the facility, but they won't dare to stop them; they want to keep their precious life. Drones were deployed, but all were just insects for her to squash.
Nothing seems to happen along the way, besides some grunts and unlucky employees becoming Kiries's snack. The tunnel lift was long and far from the surface. Containing dangers behind those doors and armored walls.
Another shockwave rumbled through the facility, and the lights flickered on and on. "I have a feeling James is having trouble," Clare said, worrying.
"Must be; then we need to move fast".
Kiries launched a tendril upward at the ceiling, pushing herself up. Thinking this was gonna be like eating, sudden loud charging sounds of 4 legs monsters breaking through the way, a creature with Dogs anatomy made from metal, with exposed ribcages and limbs, sharps claws, a head with a machinery mask, biting the tendril, its longs front legs slashed the wall opposite the way it diving through. Dragging Kiries and Clare into Floor -10.
"AAAAA!"
It dragged them through the entire floor full of people and unfinished core, killing dozens of lives just to crash into a testing chamber. It throws Kiries against the wall. She dropped Clare, and Clare hit the ground with a thump, hurting like heck.
"Ouch... my ass...."
"Stop whimpering and get to cover!" Kiries pushed Clares out of the way just before the missile from the giant monster blew Kirie's body apart.
Clare was shocked to see how big it was. She had to hide in a small observation room, letting Kiries take care of it, even though she didn't know if she could. Looking around the room, she found a door leading to somewhere. Knowing it would be useful, she took the tablet out, plugged in the drive, and began hacking.
"GIVE ME SOME TIME!"
"Got it..." Kiries threw a metal pole at the creature. It bit the pole easily, but didn't know she already planned about it. Kiries electrocuted the monster made from a robot.
She put herself back together, with a few flesh chunks fallen off or burned into charcoal.
"Tsk, you too ugly to live... Take this betch" She raised the grenade launcher, and the sticky grenade locked on the creature, it exploded, sending a pool of flames on the monster, it retaliated, and huge claws slammed right at Kiries, she managed to use her tendrils to block it, but strong force moved her into the wall, with a few broken bones.
Spitting out black blood, Kiries fell and landed on her feet. "I hate these creations they made for wars..." She took a deep inhale, her claw extended out to reach the monster, gripping onto its head.
It shot two plasma rounds from the cannon on its back. Kiries swiftly evaded and dragged herself right at it. The giant slashed, and she nearly got hit by the giant's heated paw. Her shirt ripped a bit, and her right hand split into pointy tentacles. She dug it right into its head, the huge screech of pain shaking the place. A plasma cannon redirected right at her, a shotgun blast blew out from the barrel, and Kiries had to jump out of the way, transforming a piece of herself into a machine gun, shooting the back of the creature.
When she was landing, the creature's tail came out of nowhere and stabbed her right in the stomach, It spun around, the tail dragging the poor girl on the wall, before slamming her right on the ground.
"Dammit..."
The monster jumped up to crush her, Kiries was forced to detonate the grenade to get out of the crater. Her body was full of wounds, ripped off the flesh, and her face barely had any flesh, besides the interior and a few chunks of rotten meat. Throwing in the bunch of dark spheres, she dodged the claws striking down, letting the spikes pierce the creature.
Sending out 60 human-size homing missiles from the cracks of the back, Kiries circled around the monster while it was busy. Seeing more reinforcements arrive, she found a crate full of explosives and snatched a few. The tendrils struck the ground, sending her flying. She threw in the cracks full of missile pots and a few at the entrance of those Cores.
The cores around the arena locked their aim at her head, firing tungsten head bullets.
"YOU ALL STARTED TO PISS ME OFF" She ran along the monster's spine, to reach the high ground, taking the first kill by crushing a Core into jelly, then threw at the side ninja star made from her blood, she detonated the bomb, making the giant machine collapsed temporary, blocking the entrance for more gunmen to show up.
The guards stumbled back upon hitting the ninja star, the blood infiltrated into the core's bloodstream, and she forcefully controlled them to raise the gun at the monster. "FIRE" shells started to fall from the guns, thousands of heavy ammo firing at it, and smoke set in covering the below area.
In the meantime, Clare successfully opens the door and happily announces it, but when she peeks outside, she sees the giant smoke. From it, the giant dog rises from the dust. It bites off a chunk where some Cores are standing. Shocked to see it, she sees Kiries giving her the signal to go first.
"Kiries! Stay alive!" and she exits the place, finding James. Finding herself in the hallway with the beeping sounds of the alarm, she ran, evading the guards if she could. The tablet shows her she's a couple of floors below his signature.
When a guard,d Core spotted her, it raised its gun and told her to stop. Clares was scared, raising both hands above her head. As the Core approached.
"Get down! I caught the girl, require backup." The comms send out a beep after it is finished.
Clares, backing up, made a quick run for it, not wanting to get captured and become a weight for them.
"Hey, stop!" They chased after her, moving fast and precise, but when it turned at the corner where she headed, it saw the barrel of a gun aiming down at the chest.
Clare pulled the trigger, the gun transformed from the tablet, and fired a seemingly normal bullet. It shredded through the armored Core. Making it stumble back, and the bullet hit the Core's main heart, spreading viruses.
It twitched crazily on the ground for a good few seconds before converting into her commanded subject.
"Huh..." she looked at the mark on her hand. "Thank you, Mom."
back with Kiries, she is being pursued by the giant dog, explosions among her steps, shooting from the plasma cannon. It getting mad.
Kiries made a sharp turn, sliding below the beast, wielding two titan killer basters. The guns shoot out explosive armor-piercing electrified rocket rounds at the core of the monster. Its tails tried to stab and stab and missed. Her tendril hooked on the neck, and she drop-kicked the monster, making it fall up the ceiling.
"C'mon..." letting it fall, she charged up a power move like Godzilla's atomic breath, her jaw split in two, and her eyes glowed red blood.
When the monster landed the power scream fired, a devastating electric Scream fired like a shockwave, and the particles and molecules in the blast wave shattered, the bodies around the places vaporized into mists of blood, rock metal and wood broken into dust, the creature flew into the wall, breaking through and crushed a few guards. Its body sustained tons of damage, unstable with corrupted material strikes with Kiries's scream.
Just about as she thought she won, suddenly, the monster charged out again, biting her body in surprise, slamming on side to side. It then fired a plasma cutter laser when Kiries was in its teeth, her body was severed in half.
She had to use her claws to evade the stomp, she ducked behind a cover to regenerate her below half.
Enraged, its core heating up over the safety line, it let out a raging scream, sending rocket after rocket around the place. It charged up the laser blast, melting the arena. Kiries swiftly avoids the thousand stuff being thrown around,
"Gosh, what with this thing..."
Back to Clares, following the hallway with the protection from the Core, she soon found another lift leading to the upper deck. She hops on, hacking. But what about Kiries?She looked back, thinking, "I shouldn't let her deal with this alone".
Ordering the Core to prepare the lift for them, Clares ran back, trying to find something useful. Although James could, she was afraid he could get in trouble also.
Fast forward to when she got to the floor, with the most destructive sounds, shaking and screaming. The core lead her through the breaking hallway. Ultimately, there's an ice monster who jumped out from nowhere, and it spotted the two.
Clare was pushed away into a seemingly important room, and the core engaged. The bullets seem to freeze upon getting close to it. The monster pounced on the core and tore it to pieces with a metallic scream before jumping out of the hall and into the construction convoy belts below.
"James..." she quickly stood up, the room she was in was special to be described, machines hooking together to keep a small fraction of something, strange red sparks shooting out every 0.91 seconds from this piece. The mark on her hands seems to react with this thing, pinging on and on.
Knowing what this was, Clare reacted by grabbing it, her right hand going through the gravitational field to grab the Core's part. She forcefully yanked it out. The room shut off the lights, and the whole facility went into warning mode.
[WARNING: ULTIMAX OBJECT LOST // ALL PERSONNEL EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY FOR TERMINATION MELTDOWN]
"OH, crab..." Clare quickly runs away, using the tablet to locate Where's him.
Meanwhile, Kiries is trying to kill the monster, she on its back, shooting at the place where it heart could be, but how it can let her do easily, missiles and cannons aiming, blasting her body. Kirie's tendril-like and sharp hands from her back had to protect their master, painful, yet she has to do this.
Its tail slapped her out, then, firing plasma cutter laser, super heated beam pouring out from the creature's mouth, along with thoundsand of rockets and energy shots from the cannon. Kiries dashing from point, knowing this would go to nowhere, she decided to lead it to a place that could killed it, she hook on the metal frame, pulling herself into the small path, the creature take the bait and charging after, it huge size struggling to get into the main hall, but still breaking the whole place.
"C'mere, you bardstard, let's get to the reactor core..." Thus begins the mouse and cat chase. The monster's weapons were limited due to the narrow aisle, It can still fire plasma beam from its mouth. The beam sometimes hits her, even cutting off her tendrils or limbs.
Slowly and surely, Kiries jumped off the way, down into the place where the facility gets power from. The core was in annihilation mode, ready to blow up anytime. The creature chased in, slamming at the giant electrical pole with billion tons of stored accelerated particle, moving triple the light speed to produce electricity.
"Melt down will blow this place, and you are going to get buried down here..." her voice did not change her tone, but her eyes showed a deadly sense. The monster growl and angrily attack.
It slashed the core. Kiries took a chain, she jumping from the pillar, wrapping around the creature, while tricking it breaking the facility's core. getting closer to the melting point, particles from the accelerator shooting out band reaking everything on its path. Kiries finally hooked the chain on the monster. She hopped down, and the claws missed her face by about an inch.
Not letting this chance fade, she pulled the chain, which tangled the giant dog, crushing it, and hit the generator. Kiries heated her skeleton hand and fused the chain on the ground to keep the monster at bay.
"See you square head..."
The monster swings its claws around, trying to break the titanium chain. She fled outside the reactor room, running away from the blast point. climbing upward the underground, tracking Clare and James.
The alarm screeched, and people scrambled, trying to escape. Some got stuck, and some lost their limbs and slowly died because of this event. and wondered why no task force had come and saved them.
