Chapter 29

After finding out more about the story. Okara, Crimson, and Rose find themselves still in the elevator shaft trying to get to the second floor. As they learn more about Rose and her intentions.

"So are you saying all of this has something to do with the police?" Asked Okara.

"Of course! Don't you get it! They're working with the bad guys!"

"But, wait something doesn't add up with your story. I met Coll a while ago, but I was told he's dead before I came down here. How do you explain that?!"

"H-He was the first cloned person I ever made. His body was left with the rest of the incident. I had graduated from university with the highest degree. So I knew very much about science, genetics, and cloning. So once I made the required system. My husband was the first person I ever cloned. He had no memory or knew anything of who I was. So I sent him to work in the police force under a different name. Coll Gael... Slowly he moved up the ranks and finally started finding out more about the gang known as Rouge."

"Can you prove you aren't lying about any of this?" Asked Crimson.

"I can... But we have to get to my lab first."

"I've got a question!" Asked Okara.

"What is it?"

"What's a gang? and what's rouge?"

Rose looked disappointed and Crimson smiled secretly.

"It's okay, he's not from this planet, so these things he really wouldn't understand. Okara, all you need to know is rouge means red in another language, and a gang is a group with multiple people. This gang happens to have very bad people." Answered Crimson with a smile.

"Oh, okay! So bad people with a weird name."

Rose begins walking away to continue leading Crimson and Okara. As they climb the second ladder they appear in front of a metal door that was split down the middle.

"This is the door to the second floor..." Rose looked behind her and up to the first-floor door. Which were four ladders up higher.

"Okay, how do we open it?"

Okara walks to the door and places his hands on it. Yet Rose was still staring at the other elevator door.

"Don't touch that door!"

Sudden Okara was pulled back from the door as an explosion blasted all three of them off the edge and into the dark pit. Quickly they began falling, Okara instantly opening his eyes. To see Rose knocked out and falling even faster.

"Crimson!"

"I'm fine! Just save Rose!"

Crimson stops himself and enters flight mode as he looks back up he noticed metal debris falling at them at high speeds.

"Heads up! It's gonna get bumpy in here!"

Crimson pulled back both of his arms and began firing Ki blasts one after another. As he fired close to twenty blasts, they collided with the big pieces of metal and broke them into smaller pieces. However, those smaller pieces still fell past them and causes small cuts along their arms and bodies. However, Okara held his back to prevent Rose from getting harmed. As he took some slices and pokes the real incident was over. Slowly he pulled away still holding her.

"Crimson, she's out cold. What do we do?"

Crimson stared up noticing a shadow with blue glowing eyes staring down at them.

"Okara..."

Okara looked up, instantly catching the glowing blue eyes. As it jumped down from the first-floor elevator.

"Go! I'll handle this!"

Crimson instantly charged upwards at the glowing blue eyes, immediately getting pushed downwards passing Okara with a passenger.

"Hello, Crimson!"

Crimson's eyes shoot wide as he looks at himself.

"Who the hell! Are you!"

"I'm you! You are me!"

"Yeah, I know all this just tell me your name!"

They continue falling at a rapid pace as Crimson tries to regain control of his flight, his copy keeps him from doing so.

"Well! If you must know, Arako named me Cobalt!"

"Oh, how original!"

"Original or not! You're still going to die!"

"Yeah, right buddy!"

Crimson open his mouth and instantly a red ball of energy shot from it. Exploding in Cobalt's face, separating them. Crimson instantly regained control of his flight and shot upwards.

"Not so fast!!" Not far behind Cobalt came after him screaming in anger.

"I will be the one to kill you, Crimson!!"

Cobalt instantly catches up with Crimson and bashes into him, Crimson nearly crashing into a wall, however, he uses the wall as a launchpad and fires himself back at Cobalt. Ramming into him with a heavy right fist. Driving it into his Cobalt gut, causing him to lean over Crimson's fist, but instantly swings his right elbow into Crimson's left cheek. Crimson is jerked to the side from the blow, and instantly Cobalt delivers another blow. As he grapples Crimson by his clothing, he tosses him upwards. Crimson stops himself with a pressure shot with his Ki, but instantly Cobalt drives his crossed arms into Crimson's body, and within second Crimson is fired up even higher. Crimson couldn't catch a break as Cobalt continued beating him higher and higher in the elevator shaft. Eventually, they pass the second and first-floor elevator doors.

"I will kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

They start approaching the ceiling of the elevator shaft and instantly Crimson is jammed into it. His body morphed into the crater that was being made. Pieces of the stone and metal ceiling begin falling down the elevator shaft. Okara dodged carefully as he carried Rose. Looking up with worry for Crimson.

"I'm disappointed Crimson! I thought you'd put up more of a fight!"

Cobalt descends a bit, leaving Crimson hanging from the ceiling, barely being held by the imprint of himself.

"It's a shame, I had high hopes for you."

Cobalt raised his right arm and aimed it at Crimson generating a small dark blue Ki blast. As the blast got bigger Cobalt's view of Crimson was blocked, but he had no worries about it.

"Say goodbye! Crim-!"

Suddenly a tight grip wrapped around his right wrist and instantly jerked his hand upwards. Causing him to fire the blast, the explosion causing debris and gusts of wind to blow past them, Cobalt's face filled with surprise.

"So, you are more than all talk!"

Crimson inhaled a deep breath and slowly released it.

"You're about to learn, just how terrifyingly powerful I am."
