Chapter 47 Confrontation in the lab

"Marcello? Marcello comes in!?" Lucario yelled

Domenico turned to Ally who nodded at this and told him,

"I will go get Sal. It would help if you got our thing we are moving in now," Ally said

She ran out of the room with Domenico walking going the other way,

Lucario calls the other spy and tells them what is happening, but it seems like they need to hurry, I don't believe they can last long against what hunting them.

"What is this thing?" Marcello whispers

He stares at the hefty shadow figure in the corner glaring at them, it doesn't seem to want them here. The aura coming off that thing concerns Marcello... he felt this aura. This power. He remembers it well it is like he faced it before, Jacob aims his gun at the shadow noticing the look it is giving off to them. He felt the resentment that is leaking out of it, neither less it was in their way of finishing the mission, but he is not the spy he used to be killing that thing is still an option though,

"Marcello what we need to do is to get the mission done and over with...if that means going through that thing then so be it," Jacob said

Marcello keeps looking at it not leaving him and Jacob in jeopardy causes he can't watch it, and he asserted,

"Indeed, if it gets out who knows what it will do,"

Jacob nods.

"Why are you here?" it said

Jacob is taken aback by this and thinks to himself, why would this thing want to be in the place where it's captive... maybe it's all it knows and is comforted by its prison, Marcello glances at Jacob who tells him.

"If you want to tell the truth be careful with your words. I don't know who its loyalty lies in,"

Marcello turns to the clone and says,

"We are here for information and to see what they have done to things like you, I don't think you should try anything my friend here is not the friendliest of foes,"

The clone looked up at them, their eyes shining a bright gold and starting right through them, it then asked,

"Do you know what happens to these monsters?"

"No, but I noticed there are beast-like bloodbaths happened," Marcello said

The clone shows a frightening smirk and lets out terrifying laughter. Marcello pulls out his ax and stands next to Jacob, who is watching the clone start to come out of the shadows,

"They wanted to do some tests on me... I didn't let it happen this time. they took me out of my container and then starts to put the straight jacket on me, I take that opportunity to ripe the jacket to shreds, that felt wonderful but what happens next is both gruesome and fulfilling to what they did to me and the others they killed with their experiments, I took the scientist that tried to strap me and broke his back with my bare hands." It said

The clone is now out of the corner into the light showing them what they're dealing with, Marcello looked at it sternly noticing it's taller than both he and Jacob combined,

"Then I slowly killed the others that imprisoned me in the hellhole and made my way to where the head was to find them not there, but I know where he could be, that will be for later. It seems that I have other things to take care of," it said

the clone walked up to them slowly. Watching their movement like they are his prey before it can come closer, Jacob shoots at their leg as a warning shot,

"You move any closer. I will shoot you and end your existence here," Jacob said

The clone glares at him moving toward them, Jacob shot him two times in the stomach, the clone chuckles at this and its body starts to make lumps. Moves in inhumane ways. Marcello heard static go through his earpiece, he heard scattered voices of the team at headquarters arguing, Marcello wasn't concentrating on that but what the thing in front of him spitting out the bullets from its stomach.

"Was that it? That wasn't even a tickle to me. What do you think that would accomplish… me being dead? That didn't work for the scientist, why would it work for you?" The clone said

The clone stares at them before striking them to the ground, causing them to fly into the air, Jacob unhooks his grappling hook and throws it into the wall, Marcello didn't have time to do that. He slams into the wall and slides down to the floor, his ax forgotten on the floor near the clone, he looks at the ax and how it shines, it amuses it to which he grabs it and looks at them,

"It's a fine blade you have, I think I might keep it for myself," it's said

The clone smiles and throws the ax at Marcello, who moves away from the wall to a broken piece of lab tech landing on his back, before starting back up at the clone finding it aching the wall under Jacob, He looks at the ting trying to break the wall under him.

Jacob moves to grab something from his pocket that would be helpful to find something. He grabs it and pulls the pin before unlocking the grappling hook, then using the wall to jump over into the middle of the room,

"I have to get my ax," Marcello thought

While Jacob was dealing with the clone, Marcello grab his ax out of the wall and places it on his hip, he then went into the middle where they planned an escape. He watched Jacob push himself off the wall next to him, Marcello and Jacob quickly moves for cover behind a broken lab desk,

"Where are you? do you think this little explosive will kill me? Adorable," it said

Before the clone said more the bomb went off on him and flies over through a test tube into the doors breaking them, Marcello looks above the desk to see the lab in more shambles with the clone's body half-burnt and torn,

"That worked better them the last one she made," Jacob said

Marcello looked at him,

"That was from Lizzie, wasn't it?" He asked

"Yes, it was she had been having nightmares of me getting hurt on her, so she started to work on some more weapons to protect me when I go on missions," Jacob said

He went around the destroyed pieces of the lab to see if that thing is still alive, but it seems to have done its job,

"Wow, what was that she made for you?" Marcello asked

Jacob grabs Marcello's ax and pokes the clone with it, to see if he would get a reaction, but he got none whatsoever, it didn't even bleed, and if it did it turned to ash. Marcello starts to hear a voice over the earpiece,

"Marcello are you there!?" Lucario asked

"Yes, I am it appears that there was one last clone that was here waiting for some reason I don't know," Marcello said

"That's weird, but you might have Ally and Domenico coming for you guys, I would get ready for that," Lucario said

"So be prepared for a lecturer on how to kill quickly and effectively. We don't fail and get ourselves killed," Jacob said

Marcello sighed before looking back at Jacob to see the clone trying to get up with his arms,

"That's different from most explosives, whoever made that was too brilliant for the world. You will die here," it said

It's vein did something weird, it moved within his body and starts making itself a new pair of legs,

"You will do no such thing,"

The clone turns its head to look behind him to have a harpoon knife into its eye, the beast screeched out pulling it out of its socket,

"Why didn't you kill it before we get here?" Ally said irritated,

"You try to get thrown to the wall with a large clone coming at you. Wait you have," Marcello said

The clone noticed the distraction from this, he moves his veins through the other side of the door near Ally, who knows of this, and let someone else deal with it.

"You make it sound like it's a cakewalk if so why don't you lace up your boots and kill him yourself," Jacob said

"Thank you, but I..." Ally said

"You fools you think I would let you get away with this, I will kill you and break free of this curse that has brought you on me," It said

It laughed at them while his veins moved toward Ally who just smirked at this, the clone didn't like that not knowing who could be near,

"I suggest that you don't touch her,"
