Secret Passage

-Abandoned Organization's Headquarters-

Ugh... this thing is heavy you know...

We arrived in the basement and last time, Kinny wasn't here. Maybe she checked the other area.

"So, do you have any idea why there's a giant rat in here? I mean, this was your place before, right?" I need to know more about what the hell is I'm about to get my self into.

"You really have no idea? Come on, there's a hint about the group's name and what was happening here. The disappearance of life forms and mutations? Haven't you watched any movies that have those?" Uh... do I look like an idiot to her? I want a more reliable answer than those you see from the movies.

"Let's just say I'm an idiot. Kindly explain to me a little more." I am now filled with regrets. Why did I even come here?

"Fine. If you put it that way then I guess I could give a try." This girl...

"As you can see, a virus or an epidemic is coming soon. I don't know all the details but it is said that it could erase life forms in an instant. What saves humans for now, that I don't know. That giant rat you've seen is about to disappear and what made it look that way was its body trying to resist the virus. I bet it's gone for good now." Are they making fun of me? I mean, isn't this so surreal for a time like this? For now, I'll stick with them.

"If that's the case, then what does the government planning to do to stop it? And how did you know about this?" Maybe if I ask more, they could give me more details.

"They're looking for a cure for it while we, on the other hand, prepared for the worst. Your parents tried but based on what is happening now, I guess they failed to create a cure. So as a back-up plan, they have decided to change our plan and instead of saving a few people for the future, they prefer saving as many people as they can, using what we created, the cryo capsule. I know all of these because I'm one of those few people the organization chose to save from this epidemic." It does ring a bell... somehow, I'm familiar with it based on my endless nightmares before.

"And-"

"Shut up. Let's lit this place up and we'll show you some more." Uh... how can these all make sense to me... and it was a crazy idea for sure.

*BZZZZZT* Connecting the battery to the mainline, I can tell that this might really work. *Click* And I was right. The basement lit up. It could be dark and dusty but with the light, we can see most everything that we might need but still, it's almost empty.

"OPEN SECRET PASSAGE"

Surprisingly, that worked. A small passage appeared out of nowhere on a wall. Who builds this stuff?! I guess I have to follow them in the suspicious secret passage she mentioned.

Ducking, the passage is a little bit narrow that we have to lower our heads. Shouldn't they at least made a proper door and passage of some sort? This one is really unconventional. It wasn't that long till we reached the end of the passage.

"See? This is our main hideout but you fools didn't even make it here. This passage only opens up with me and Miss voice." I could tell after seeing that even dust couldn't enter here. They did a good job hiding this place.

"So, what do you have in here?" There's one big computer here and nothing else. It could be a data storage room.

"Come here, let me show you something." We moved to the side of the wall for some reason and...

"Play Kinny's Lab Test Video 291." Wait, what does she...

Then a hologram of some sort appeared in the middle of the room. It shows a kid, should be of 10-12 years of age, and if what the name of the video is right, then it's Kinny.

Someone with a lab coat appeared, "Today, we will try again and reach a new record in a 100-meter sprint." A fragile little girl like her... what are they testing her for? Her speed couldn't be that fast-

*ZWOOOOOSH* So fast! A number on top of her head appeared "45 mph" and it's falling from 42-47 mph! I don't even know what those numbers are but it's definitely not normal! How could she move so fast with a body so little!

"Dropping your jaws huh? That's Kinny right there. Imagine that when she was a kid, she could run like that, how about now? She could run so fast silently that no one would even notice." I looked at Kinny, I remember her in-game being fast, but not this fast.

"Unfortunately, in the game, there's a limit on what a player can do. Even with their unique passive." I don't understand.

"What do you mean unique passive?" I asked.

"An example of that unique passive is Zia's ability to do something exactly after seeing it only once." Is this true? I remember her copying the move of Leion and he said it's a family sword style that no one knows...

"I'm sure you have an idea. For me, I have the ability to see someone's life span based on their aura. Yours is different. I couldn't tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing." She mentioned it being the darkest. I couldn't tell if what she's saying is true but I can tell that she's not trying to lie either. Why is she showing all of this to me? Aren't I her enemy?

"44 mph. It looks like she wasn't able to reach a higher speed this time like the previous 30 tests." They've been doing this a lot, to a child.

"We've been through that and even worse. The older we get, the tests get more difficult." What could be the reason for all of these?

"All these tests, what for? Are you guys creating a super army of some sort?"

"We're creating a special group to save humanity. That, I couldn't really tell how but we're just following orders. We wanted to know more but after Miss disappeared in front of us, like what happened to those life forms I told you that disappeared near this hideout, we would never know the real reason why she trained us. I don't think there's something that could stop the virus." She's right. Like what she said, even my parents couldn't create a cure.

*BAAAAAAM* What was that?!

"Kinny!" Wait, isn't that Azzie?! With Kinny's speed, Azzie managed to stop Kinny's kick using her hand!

"I knew you guys would be here but hiding a place like this, I would say you did a great job." And I thought I could learn more about the Organization...
