Chapter 8: The Search for Independence
Page 1:
*The very same voice that came from the hiatus at Ryokou; a voice of mind-shattering proportions. Only mortals and immortals who hear his name tremble and know what is torment and true suffering, and may it be a lesson to all the sinners. May they learn what fear and judgment is.*Karoku (looking for a quick way out): Damn! We're done for! *Clenches his fists*
*It gets closer and closer until it's shadow appears in the very corner-stone of the magnificent door structure just outside the room. The voice of terror finally speaks....*Lead Voice (looking at a high-ranking Drocon): The source's location lies in this area. Hmmm, this is the room for the Philippine subject, is it not?
Second Voice: Of course..... The subject was kept frozen here just by the islands. We should check for any hidden convicts to be sure the subject isn't harmed.
Tanglaw: What are they muttering about? Who are they anyway?
Karoku: Your safe-guards, except there's nothing safe about them. Seems they've kept you hostage for quite sometime. How old are you anyway?
*Something howls in the chamber room and makes a sound. The very same, but faint cry of the creature, only a decaying sound....*Second Voice (stopping at a halt): Shh! Do you hear that, Shikki? Someone is among these corridors. (Takes out his sword) I will eliminate the persecutor.
Karoku (nervously): Grrrr..... *gulp* grrrrr....
*Before he can draw out his sword and walk in, he is stopped by Shikki with one hand. The high-ranking Drocon steps back and covers his face with his other palm. His voice and his shadow are visible, lest his appearance. However, his hand seems to carry his blade in an awkward fashion. The sword's shape is arguably similar to a rifle, with the handle being held over the hand instead of the back. It has a trigger, but it beams a rectangular reflection amongst the metallic ground.*Shikki (grinning): Fince, let it go. Nothing is wrong within this parameter. Hehe, besides, the alarm vibrates across the entire surface of this vessel. The danger could have been somewhere else.
Fince: WHAT!?! You clearly declared the danger in thi-
Tanglaw: Why aren't we moving?
Karoku (whispering): Hold your ass still and don't move!
Fince (hearing it again): SEE?!?! THERE IT IS AGAIN!
Karoku (getting impatient) (Grrr, you fucking asshole! Just leave already!)
* Shikki lifts one feather, beaming just enough to be seen from the shore in Japan with hardly any luminance
Shikki (with his divine feathers shining against him): Answer me once more, and you will see neither light or darkness, but oblivion. Is that understood, good sir?
Fince: Ugh! *Chiii* Fine.....
Shikki and the new guy leave the front door and surface elsewhere onto this labyrinth. Although, Shikki seems to stand there quietly. Why the hell is he standing there with his shadow facing the floor?Shikki (maniacally): Hehehehehe..... Hahahahahaha!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! (Teleports from the area)
Karoku (freaked out): He knew we were here, but why didn't he-
Tanglaw: Don't just stand there! Let's get out of here before that freak changes his mind!!!
Hearing the rather annoying sound of this so-called Prince reads me like a book. Better safe than sorry; leaving this place as quickly as possible is the only objective that matters. Where could the others be anyway?*Karoku and Tanglaw look outside in the corridors with hopes that no remainder soldier lay nearby for a warning signal. At first, things seem to flow smoothly, with no sign of the enemy.*Tanglaw (putting his hand over his chin in a royal manner): Hmmm, the coast looks clear. So, which pathway did you come from?
Karoku: Uhhhh, I think I came from this direction here *points at their right towards the direction of their exit*
Tanglaw (putting his other hand over his forehead): *Eyes close* Heh, don't tell me you forgot where you came in from...
Karoku: Shut up! I remember well that this was the hall I came in through before stopping in this room!
Tanglaw: Fine, whatever you say.
For a prince, he's an irritating one. Also seems to poke his nose into things. Fortunately, things seem silent enough just to move on forward, until something makes a noise from the room. Turning back, I see the movements of that monster that assaulted me. Taking no time to hesitate...Karoku (listening to the shadows of the room): *Whispering* Tanglaw, let's get out of here.
Tanglaw: Huh? Uhhh, haha, I know that already *laughs* ?
Karoku (points to the back of the room with his thumb): Let's get out of here....
fast.Tanglaw (realizing the situation): Right! Of course! *Runs out of the corridor*
*Tanglaw makes a run for it towards the right corridor, before stopping at a committee of Drocon members outside the base*Voice 1: So anyway, what was Admiral Shikki laughing all about? He hasn't been herself since the invasion on Ryokou City. Something about an Alpha-male who's apparition identifies as a Dragon. Any thoughts?
*Tanglaw stays distant, but just enough to hear their conversations*Tanglaw: Wow... such a distinguished group we have here.
Fince (still covering his face): *Hissing* You understand the nobility he has, correct? Sanity is a waken persona. Clarify his emotions for me. What do
you suppose this man is content with?
Voice 1 (shrugs): Hmmm, I have no clue. He is part-human after all. Has any of the scientists identified his other half? Reading
his thoughts leave me asking the questions...
Fince (sensing the presence of Tanglaw): Then you have no creative asset to the understanding of his nature. Clearly he is enjoying the idea of meeting the reject of that tumbling community and its weak government. You should know by now that insanity does not equal laughter.
Tanglaw (feeling as if he were being watched as well): Uhoh...
Voice 1: Of course sir....
Sir?
Fince (looking back slightly with the reflection of his spiked hands): ...... *Hisses*
Yessssss?Voice 1: What are you looking at? Something wrong?
Tanglaw (biting his lips worryingly): ......
Fince (in his mind): (That stupid man. I knew something lay silent in his mind) We have an intruder, apparently...
Voice 1: Intruder? Behind you? *Noticing* Of course sir!
HEY YOU! STAY WHERE YOU ARE!Fince (turning back): *Hissing* Let us welcome this [i[honoured[/i] guessssssst!
* Fince draws his gun-sword
Fince (holding and aiming his sword): You're going no where, Prince Tanglaw...
*Tanglaw makes a run for it, getting shot in the leg and the arm*Tanglaw (slowed down): GAHH!!! *Holds his arm*
Voices 4 & 16: Sir! Aren't you going to run after him?
Fince (laughs for a bit): Too easy my fellow men! Let the archer run. Follow him yourselves. That, is an order.
Voices: Yes Lieutenant Fince!
*Tanglaw speeds up, with pain still conflicting his health*Tanglaw (with his heart-beating and his wounds bleeding): *Pant, pant, pant* You weren't kidding! Listen! Karoku! We're in SERIOUS trouble! I think those guys spotted us! Gaw... -ssssst... *holds his wounds*
Karoku (holding his collar up the wall): WHAAAAAT!? You f**king idiot! That's what you get for rushing into things!
* Tanglaw takes his bow and arrow out
* Karoku summons UV with one hand with the head-lock targeting Tanglaw's neck
Karoku: You wouldn't dare T_T ....
Tanglaw (aiming with his light arrow): Try me, Samurai.
Him and I stare face-to-face, seeming that this pointless argument draws time from us entirely. Hearing the recovering behemoth from the same room, and the foot steps of angry aliens, I put the prince down and ditch him for what the bastard has done with me a minute ago.Voice 34: I heard something straight ahead! After it!
Karoku: Hurry if you can. I'm not responsible to what happens to you (I hope this dumbass can hold out on his own. I want to see if he's worth the recruitment)
Tanglaw (catching up): Hey! I'm shot here!
Karoku (looks at his severed leg): What!? You got shot? How?
Fince (laughing maniacally): HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! *Shooting rapidly/accurately near them without hitting a single trooper*
RUN! RUN! RUN LIKE THE TERRAN GARBAGE YOU ALL ARE!!!
Karoku (getting shot in the shoulder): Grrrr!!!!Tanglaw (getting shot in the back): GAH!!!*The troopers arrive at the front of the corridor, facing the fully recovered creature*
Voice 27: We don't have time for this! What's a Matryonan doing in our base?
Fince (speaking telepathically): Forget the creature. Get them!
Voice 27: Of course! Men, remove the Matryonan at once.
Matryonan (howling): *
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH*
*All of the troopers dispatch the creature immediately at once, tying it to the ground with an other-worldly fiber cable*Matryonan (struggling and screeching): *
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!*
Tanglaw: That guy shoots like he's been arching for centuries! Such a strange projectile weapon...
Karoku (holding his shoulder): It's called a gun, and it's made of lead and metal. If anymore pierces us both, we're done for. Apparently, these aren't normal bullets. I can't use any of my powers...
Tanglaw (with his arrows fading): You're right! I feel weakened as well. Darn, what to do...
* Fince dashes in front of the Matryonan in less than a nano-second in such godly speed
Fince (dashing in front of the creature in a milli-second): We have no idea where you came from, my fair little Babushka. *Hissing* It will be rather
sssssssad, seeing you depart so soon...
*The helpless creature chomps at him and struggles for escape, but with no avail** Fince shoots a bullet towards its head, but stops it with a sweep of his blade
*Fince utterly destroys the floor underneath the Matryonan with the blast of the bombarded bullet, destroying it again and sending it falling into the ocean underneath the base floor. The creature descends into the crust of the base, before hitting the surface of the water*Fince (aiming at the two again): You two aren't going anywhere...
