Alright, now that we are set we need to save my friends.

John: Am sorry but I want to trouble you once more.

Dan: what's that.

John: Do you know who Gloria is.

Dan: Gloria. A girl? Nope I don't know her. Why did you ask.

John: I heard some guards saying some people are going to be fed to Gloria. So I must be thinking its a monster name.

Dan: nope I don't know her. And the monster part I only know is the one roaring for the last three days.

John: Ah. No lead.

A guard barge in and when he saw us he was about to press the alarm bottom. Dan threw a knife at his head. (first blood)

John: Damn.

Before the guard fell he manage to hit the alarm

Dan: Son of a bitch. I'm gonna cut you in pieces.

John: we don't have that time, we need to go.

Dan retrieve his knife and We storm out. Going over the wall.

I stopped.

Dan: what's wrong.

John: I can't leave my friends am going back.

Dan: But how will you find them.

John: don't know how but I will surely find them.

Dan was confuse on what to do. To stay with me and help me save my friend And if failed he lost his freedom. Or he escape now and gain his freedom.

John: I need your help on something.

Dan look up.

Dan: what's that.

John: Megan, I finally found her and she is waiting for me at the other side of the wall If i fail to make it back in 30 min leave with out me and tell her am sorry.

I ran back to the camp.

I saw some guards lining up to the weapon room. I grab the last guy, hold is neck and mouth tight and draw him to a dark corner. He struggle to fight back I hit his face three times and he became calm.

John: who's is Gloria.

Guard: Gloria. I'm never going to tell you.

I hit his face one more time but he refuse to corporate I hit him until he faint.

John: oh shit.

I dash out looking for clues. Hiding in the coverage then dash to another cover, just then I saw Sam.

John: bingo.

Sam enter a room, just him and he close the door. The light is on so I can see his every move. He Face his back at the door as he change his cloth. I get into the room too, close the door silently. and switch off the light. He grabbed his gun pointed it toward me I grab his hand squeezing it until he drop his weapon.

John: who is Gloria and where is it.

His eyes were wide open,

Sam: John? who told you about Gloria. Is it Jimmy.

John: Jimmy? Not Jimmy and it's none of your business. So tell me where it is or I cut you open. (Showing my knife) Oh God this thing is sharp. I wonder how it will feel cutting through your stomach.

Sam: okay okay, stop stop I will tell you. Gloria is the mutant we have been nurturing From when she was a zombie. She will evolve to a level three zombie In any moment from now. Some people are going to be fed to it and your friends are among them.

John: okay then where is it..!!!!???

He hesitated....

I move my knife closer to his stomach....

Sam: she is at the High hall.

John: where is the high hall.

Sam: just 5 miles from here. Once you are there you will see it. It the biggest bulling in the camp. The process will start in minute, You can't make it.

I Leave his shirt keep my knives in my pocket, turn my back on him leaving.

Sam: your friends, you are doing all this for them. How are they so special to you.

I ignored him.

Sam: wait. Take ( he hand over a key to me) this is my bike use it. Am sick of this place anyways. I wish I had a friend like you....

John:( my voice change) You don't deserve a friend like me. You worthless trash. (I toss his key back to him) And I don't need a help from a trash.

I dash out found a bike connect some wires and ride on.

Sam: that is still my bike

After some minute I saw a big building. I ride through the door bursting in. The hall is really big but I found it empty. Not even Chairs. Just empty.

John: what? (I kneel and bow my head on the ground.)I've been duped. I'll kill you Sam. I will so Fucking kill you. At that moment, something strange happen in the middle of the hall.

The floor open up as Five huge cylinder Bulge up each made strong glass, each cylinder contain some liquid and a human, I stare at first one I don't know her, the second one Nope. in fourth and the last one has xia and Jack in it. The are not moving it's like they are in a deep sleep. I bring out my gun and shoot it but it was bullet proof. I try xia sword. It broke into pieces. Again at that moment another came up after the five it's the biggest. I stare at it as it keep coming up. There was just a lady like in it. Beside was the guy who pointed his gun at Jack earlier.

#: And who do we have here.

John: Release my friend asshole or else.

#: or else what? Oh By the way call me Ruffy.

John: I don't care, what is all this? What are you trying to achieve?

Ruffy: okay you need an explanation. Well here it is. This here (pointing to the big cylinder) is Gloria. I have been building this beautiful beast since when she was just an ordinary zombie. When this baby reach level three. She will become unstopable. My scientist discovers that we can use this to out own use, the blood of a level three can be use to mumtate normal human giving them some extra ordinary ability. So when this beauty level up that's when I come in.

John: then what did you need them for.

I found some cable that are connected to the giant cylinder I believe if I cut that it will all be over.

Ruffy: why do you think we keep slave. To feed her of course. The more she feed on human the faster she level up. This people will be the last batch. Don't worry they wont feel a thing.

John: Do you think am just gonna let you do that. I bring out my knife and dash toward Ruffy. My main plan is to destroy that cable. I stretch my knife toward his head he move left I quickly change the knife position on my hand slice toward his direction, He dodged it by doing back flips twice. I did not give him the chance to relax threw the knife he dodge it again but merely, the knife made a cut on his cheek.

Ruffy: that was close.

John: you sure are fast but are you faster that bullet.

I roll out my guns, he move away quickly before I could make the shot at the moment. He running on walls and I keep shooting at him, finally he is far away from the cable I bring out my knife to cut but it's like am stabing a stone. I use my guns on the cable but it keep bouncing off the bullet.

Ruffy: Don't be surprised. You are really intelligent. Once that cable cut it's over for me. But what can cut it. That is the main problem for you. In the next five minute my beauty will devour your friends and all will be over. You had your chance to escape but you are willing to give everything up for your friends. What an idiot. If you escape I won't go after you. You would have gain your freedom but now. (liking his mouth) you are my meal.

He is moving closer to me. I point my gun toward him and try to make a shot but no bullet. All the guns I've use up the bullet. I drop them bring out my knife.

Ruffy: you are finished.

He rush at me send some punch, I dodge some and got hit by some and lastly he punch my chest which send me backward and I fell, I coughed out blood. I'm getting weak. I've use all my energy up. He keep coming I keep moving back.

Ruffy: You are good, I mean really good. To be able to pull it off even making all of slaves escape. You are one in million. I'll will give you one more chance. Join me and let's rule this world together. He stretched his hand forward

I think about it and he is right. I mean who am I to him. He is influenced, powerful, rich, what do I get to loose. I kneel before him as he move forward he held my hand. My knife is still with me, I hid it under my arm. Then I stood up gradually still hiding the the knife he move his hand away expecting me to look up but to his surprised I move my knife all the way up to his jaw, before I could stab his jaw out he grabed my hand.

John: Fuck you

Ruffy: I knew you had the knife with you. Am sorry but It's time. He snatched the knife and pushed me back to the ground. (He face the giant cylinder and spread his arm wide)Be a witness as how your friends will be devoured by my creation. So you can tell the rest of the world what coming for them. The giant cylinder keep glowing red. The fist person in the first cylinder dried up in an instant. The red blink stop.

Ruffy: laughing devil laugh hahahahahaha.

The red light blink again The second cylinder dried up in an instant,

John: No.

I rush to the fourth cylinder looking for something, just something to stop it. I punched it. My arm broke. Nothing happen to the cylinder, the red blink start the third person in the third cylinder dried up in an instant.

Ruffy: continue my dear. Eat to your fill.

John: No please stop, you can't do this

I looked up and (sigh).

John: wow it's morning already?

Dan walk up behind me hit my shoulder a little.

Dan: Dude she is just acting. The reason why she did that was because she care about you. Maybe she has something very important to do. But she does not want you to get involve. She is only trying to protect you.

John: yeah, but I don't need her protection. Lets move.
