"Let's go," the woman urged, making haste towards the inner city. | "Let's go," the woman urged, making haste towards the inner city. | ||
===Mukade=== | |||
As they neared the city, a plume of smoke became visible against the night sky. It could've been anything, but the small group feared the worse. Their fears soon became realized as they entered the city and it was obvious it came from where the HQ once stood. The look of anxiety was obvious on both Griffin's and Mai's face especially. Griffin because of Casey, and Mai because of of her special daughter Akemi who was being kept there. | |||
As they rounded the corner, they came upon a smoking heap of what used to be their center of operations. They spotted Casey in the nearby crowd, much to Griffin's relief. As they drew up close, Griffin grabbed Casey by the collar and shook him hard | |||
"Why didn't you answer your com when i called?" | |||
"Hey, im sorry dad, but i was too busy getting the hell out of there to answer you. What was that about being back thursday? You had me worried." | |||
He release the collar. | |||
"Just trying to give some false info to some potentiel kidnappers." | |||
"Ah, good thinking, i suppose." | |||
Now Mai cut in. | |||
"What happened, wheres Akemi?? | |||
"It turns out our "friend" Mipsy was a CI informant. We lead her right to your HQ and left her in charge of your daughter. Best we can figure, she hit the double jackpot, she was able to take out our center of operations and get her hands on the first Neo-Human born." | |||
After hearing those words, Mai whipped out her auto pistol and fired the entire clip right past Casey's head and into the wall behind him with flawless aim, then threw her gun after the bullets. He dropped to the ground and Griffin came dangerously close to dropping her where she stood. The rest of the men there brought up their weapons half way. Mai stood there breathing hard. The lack of tears showed her extreme control over her emotions, but even that wasnt enough to stop her outburst. After a couple minutes, she relaxed a bit. | |||
"Sorry Casey, it isn't your fault" | |||
"Hey, I get it, just, next time, aim a little furthur away, the ringing in my ear is kinda loud." | |||
"How many got out?" | |||
"She used incendiary bombs, so they didn't vaporize the building immediatly, just burned it down quickly. Most of us got out, we lost about a dozen staff 8 soldiers and 1 from high command." | |||
"At least theres that to be thankful for...." | |||
They all stood, watching the swirling patterns of smoke billow up into the darkness, into the already poisoned atmosphere. The question weighed on each of their minds, but none of them gave voice to it, they didn't need to. What happens now? | |||

back at India..... | |||
"okay so by melting the chrysallis moleclues in the beaker with 28 degrees, we can conclude that....." Before Dr. Ashik could finish his sentence, a small explosion erupted from the beaker, huge enough to destroy the beaker but not huge enough to cause any sierous injuries. "I don't know what I am doing wrong! I tried everything." Said Dr. Ashik who has a bad habit of talking to himself in his large metallic lab. | |||
"okay let me try again... with the chrysallis in the beaker at 28.5 degrees... It should....... YES!!!!!!!! IT WORKED! LIQUID CHRYSALLIS WORKS! I CANT BELIEVE THIS!" half whispering to himself half saying it aloud. | |||
He then puts the chrysallis into a enclosed beaker where he then carried it out into the streets of India and went to met the Prof. in-charge of the chrysallis project, Prof. Rajaratnam (Mr. Raj for short). | |||
"Morning Mr.Raj, I have found a way to liquidify the chrysallis now all i need is a test subject." Said Dr. Ashik. Almost immediatly, Prof. Raj accompanied him to a room where some were going for implanting the chrysallis. | |||
"Okay now just relax miss... this might hurt abit.." Said Dr. Ashik. And then he injected the liquid chrysallis into the young lady. A few seconds... nothing heppened. But suddenly, she emitted a bright orange glow. "Wow...." | |||

"How are we gonna get outta here?" Ford inquired, glancing around at the CI troops littering the town. | |||
Mai looked to Barabas. He was looking back at her, Edgar by his side looking mortified. The large beast of a man had his arm around the smaller man's shoulders, holding him close and secure. In Barabas' eyes, Mai finally recognized something. She looked to Griffin and found the same familiarity in his gaze as he looked back at her while standing close by his son. Finally, Mai looked to her own side. As usual, she found nothing. | |||
"It really isn't about right and wrong anymore, is it?" she said aloud, glancing back and forth between Barabas and Griffin and reflecting on the state of the world. "The men and women who allowed this evil to enter and consume them and through them the world..." Without continuing the thought, Mai turned. She began marching forward at a swift and steady pace. She was almost upon the pair of CI troops before they noticed her. She grabbed one's head with both hands and jarred it forcefully around, snapping the man's neck. With another step she plowed her fist through the second man's throat as he fumbled with his weapon. She dropped to one knee and checked the bodies, finding a hypo spray and phase cloak on them. Activating the cloak, she presumably marched on. | |||
A few other soldiers noticed the commotion. As they hustled to check out the scene, they began dropping one by one. When they were finished off, Mai proceeded on. She felt herself fading back in so she injected the hypo spray. From thin air a brilliant blue glow burst. The soldiers before her were awestruck and soon fist struck. They lie motionless. Mai raided their inventories as well and put to use what they had for her. In this manner she continue on, and was soon joined by Barabas, Griffin, and most of the others. Gunfire and screams rang out; bodies littered the city floor. When the dust finally settled, Mai and her team were nearly unscathed. | |||
"Right," said Mai, the slightest morbid grin fighting to appear on her lips. "I see, now." | |||
James, one of the few who had refused to take part in the violence, looked desperately into his daughter's eyes. He felt her slipping away. "Mai," he protested. "I'm as angry about my granddaughter as you, but--" | |||
"NO ONE!" Mai turned to her father, rage in her eyes, though James knew it wasn't truly for him. Mai hesitated. "She was MINE! I was HERS!" | |||
Her coherence had degraded and tears welled up in James eyes, hurting for his daughters much more than for himself. "IS, Mai," he corrected. "She IS yours." | |||
"None of that matters anymore," Mai replied. "So what if I had her and she had me? This world has nothing left. The evil men have sucked the life and the hope from its veins and replaced it with their own vile will..." A pause. "There's nothing left; their suffering is ours, their fall is ours..." She looked thoughtful. "Nothing left, but to make what's ours theirs." | |||
James mouth opened but no words came out. He didn't fully comprehend what his daughter was saying; he doubted she did, either. | |||
"They must pay," Mai concluded. | |||
