TWO BLOOD DROPS

------------------------------------(Nathan and the gang)------------------------------

Nathan: "we are close to the security right?"

Violet: "yeah, just a few blocks down ahead. cmon guys, soon as we took the security system we can find jame and clare back"

the rest of the gang moved forward through the underground facility hallway, they don't want jame and clare having trouble. Kirie, Lilly, Nathan, Violet, and Rose moved through different types of areas, testing chambers, workshops, and the core restore sector.

on their way, they have to fight against income attacker cores and guards, they aren't the thread for them. most of the employees in the facility were scared by their presence, and most of them run away, but some tried to fight back and have the same ending as the others. kirie killed them all without mercy, probably because she is eager to find jame back.

as they continued through the hallway, an attacker core showed up with a weird-looking gun, the gun boosted up, creating a sound that alarmed the gang. they turned around just to see it already aimed at them. Violet tried to create a spider web to block the incoming shot but she is too slow.

the attacker core fired the gun, and Nathan also fired back his, the core's head got blown up instantly, while the blue sphere from the gun that the core fired it went straight to the shield that kirie has created. everything lights up a white color that is like a flashbang. when everyone got back their vision, they saw themself in a workshop that have no one around.

Nathan: "what the heck? did we just get teleported?"

Lilly lifted Violet and Rose up, Kirie jumped back up, and she then looked around.

Lilly: "Most likely, where the hell are we by the way?"

Violet: "huh... I know this place"

Rose: "yeah... isn't this the workshop that they created us?"

Nathan: "you two what?"

Violet: "yeah, we had been created in here, where they install D-blood and weapons for human corpses to create special cores"

Nathan: "what?! they did-"

Kirielane: "we don't have time for questions Nathan"

Kirie interrupted Nathan to focus on finding jame and clare, it seems like she doesn't want to recall something in her memories.

Rose: "hmm. where is everybody? this place is always busy, rebuilding cores, fixing stuff, and creating new things"

Lilly: "in other question, why the attacker core has been ordered to teleport us here?"

Violet: "yeah... weird"

Nathan walk around the area, he looked at the core chamber with wires connected to it, and the metal shield covering the glass. he looked at the table with many papers and documents about something. he picked up a document on the table, while others are messing around finding a way out in this gigantic workshop underground. Nathan looked at the document, mumbling the words on the paper

Nathan: "operation strings: rebuilding a dead core that has a high level of destruction" he stopped for a moment.

"high level of destruction? I guess they trying to create something to defeat jame" Nathan continued to read.

"the core once used to be alive until it was killed by VC-01-G after a certain amount of time, died by decapitating the head. the core has been brought back to the facility for repair and upgrade, modules and new design type..."

"huh..?"

"the weapon hasn't ready until the director ordered to inject a large amount of D-blood on July 28th year 2XXX"

nathan check his phone, and the time on it said it was today. he swallowed, looked at the chamber, then at the document again. the others who are messing around walked to Nathan, he looked back: "guys check this..."

everyone looked at the document, "weapon of mass destruction" Nathan said, he showed the document he was reading to his friends. everyone read it, and they quickly understand what did they do.

Kirielane still with her low and emotionless tone and face: "I do not like the meaning of this document, jame is the strongest here, I do not care about a core that can be on his level. although I do afraid this isn't the one that we had met before"

Nathan and the others once again read the last few words of the document, kirie Nathan and Lilly were surprised that the last line wrote.

they all read together: "unknown core: FAC-G, rebuild, rearmed, redesigned, and redeployed. UN-00-G / Gaves..."

once they finished reading, Lilly, Nathan, and Kirie looked at each other, and they remembered who this was.

suddenly all the lights in the facility shut down, and everyone gets on their fighting stance, an alarm that broadcast throughout the sector of this area.

[warning UN-00-G are in engaged mode, all personnel leave floor -7 for safety]

Nathan: "uuhh guys!?"

the chamber that contains something that Nathan believes it's a core, a core that he knows.

the blast shield on the chamber got blown away, the gang then pointed their weapons at the chamber then fired without any warning. the bullets shred through the chamber, glass breaking, metal got shredded, and round shots got ricocheted as they hit the metal surface.

Kirie: "I won't tolerate this. Lilly!", Lilly took her rocket launcher out, and fired at the target they were shooting. the rocket exploded, and they still spray bullets in the direction Kirie told.

four red lights that looks like eyes glowed up behind the smoke, then there was something breakout from the long container behind the chamber, two hands got out from the smoke, and the bullets got redirected away from the core that got out from the chamber, two high-tech katana blade flew into the core hands, then the core created a sword move that made slash waves everywhere.

the gang quickly dodged the attack from the core, kirie then created a squad barrel electric RPG and fired at the core. it then used the blades to cut all the income electric spheres, an explosion went up, and the core grow its four red and yellow hollow wings out then fly up, and it then strikes down. Violet luckily used her strings to pull Nathan back before it hit him.

Nathan: " OH SH*T"

Lilly fired another missile at the core, it then cut the missile in four with ease. the parts of the rocket fell on the ground behind the core and exploded.

Lilly: "get up Nathan"

the gang quickly gets on their battle stance, looking at the core that they assume is Gaves.

Nathan: "not Gaves... dammit they wanted him to kill us?"

Violet and Rose: "who is Gaves?" they asked if Nathan knows him.

Kirielane: "he was ordered by John Matthews to guard the cube that contains Jame memories"

Violet, Rose ":0"

the core in front of the gang stands up, he holds the blade firmly in his hands, and slowly flies up, the swords created a deadly aura around them, Gaves is now in his new body, a new design. armor on his chest, shoulder, and waist, covering the black robotic body, he used to have a protective helmet, but now it finally revealed under the mask, on top of his grey hair, a red glowing sinister symbol that's floating on his head, the sword on his right now have an orange color and on his left is blood red with green square dots on the blade. the grey floating cape on his waist is slowly flying with him. and the reversed cross symbol is on his forehead.

Gaves who is now the one who tried to help us now is the one who will eliminate the gang he wanted to protect. Gaves raised his right blade up, then he dived straight forward at them.

Nathan: "OH SH*T"

Kirielane: "GET BACK", Kirie, Violet, and Rose got tricked by Gaves, he swing his blades, hitting Kirie and Rose, Violet tied his left arm, and she pulled it before getting kicked in the chest and flung away. Rose and Kirie both used their back claws to strike him, Kirie also created a machine gun and Rose used her stinger to attack Gaves.

Gaves cut the string on his left arm, he move his swords and blocked the first attack then dash back and shredded bullets that coming from Kirie.

Nathan: "GAVES, IS US, YOU TOLD US THAT YOU WANTED HELP"

Lilly: "it's useless Nathan, he isn't the one that we used to know, he's just another core who tried to kill us! let's move!"

Lilly picked Nathan up, then they both get away from the danger that is ongoing. Kirie after looking at them get far enough, turns the machine gun into a giant spike ram, it loads back and then released a strong punch that makes the spike head ram toward Gaves.

Gaves fly toward the big spike, sword lines cutting the spike with ease, the spike got slashed into many pieces. when he looked back, he saw Violet and Rose with their metal weapon parts coming toward his body, he quickly spin himself, and sword lines pushed Violet and Rose back, Kirie also joined her red glowing hollow claws and grabbed Violet and Rose to get themself back, then she strikes him with 4 of them. Gaves blocked them with ease, he swing his right blade on the ground and then up, creating a cut wave, Violet created a spider web that absorbed the cut, then the energy got transferred into Rose, Rose's stinger sparked up, then she rushes at Gaves, tried to stab him but she missed as he was flying above the ground and then swing his swords at her.

a sniper bullet hit the blade that Gaves was about to strike down, making it miss Rose, taking this chance, Rose then stabbed him with her explosive kunai and backup at the other two. the kunai went up, making heavy damage, but Gaves still on the air, looking at them before looked up at the security path above, he saw Nathan and Lilly holding a 100 caliber sniper aimed at him.

Lilly: "FIRE"

Nathan pulled the trigger, Lilly holding the sniper, helping him steady it, a strong sniper shot once again flew toward Gaves, Kirie with the twin also running up at him, their weapons shooting at him, claws and blades ready to kill.

Gaves right blade glowed an orange light, Gave body sparkled up electric around his body, and he teleported behind Kirie and the twin, the sniper shot missed, Kirie reacts fast, she bring her back claws back in order to hit Gaves, and turned back, around, Violet and Rose tried to follow her. right before the claws hit, Gaves dashes up, his sword sliced Kirie's claws and her body and the twin. he continued dashes in the air, dodging sniper shots from Nathan and Lilly. when he tried to teleport toward them, Kirie with her levitating guns shot at him, and some shots were hit, Gaves then successfully teleported in front of Nathan and Lilly, and when he was about to strike the swords down, Nathan was fast enough to blast his chest with the high caliber sniper, making him cut the wires that hold the platform, causing it to falls down.

Nathan / Lilly:" AHHH"

they both fall down, Violet created a giant spider web to stop them from hitting the ground,

Violet: "you two alright?"

Nathan: "yeah thank you" *panting*

Lilly: "WATCH OUT"

Gaves strike down where they were, Violet pulled all her strings back and pulled Lilly and Nathan away.

Rose jumped behind Gaves, she pin on him using her claws, her stinger tried to stab him from behind but he blocked it with his left blade, he click on a button on the handler of his right sword, he got teleported back where he used to be, in front of the chamber.

Rose fall on her butt "ouch", Kirie rushed at him, and her hand skin got shredded into black liquid and turns into metal claws, she then fights one on one with Gaves, Kirie stabbed Gaves, and he slashed kirie back, then tried to kick her using his right leg, kirie back claws cut his leg, then trikes his head, Gaves blocked then trikes an X-slash knocking Kirie back then he throws his right blade up, pointed his index finger at her, a red symbol likes a triangle glow up, a red laser bullet shot out and hit Kirie on the leg. it ricocheted on the floor, and metal equipment then hit back behind Kirie's back.

Kirie: "ARGH", she spit out black liquid, it seems they were getting serious.

Gaves click a button on his left sword, five green bars on his sword glow up, his cut leg suddenly went back on his wound, and the sniper blast on his chest was repaired, about 90%. he spins his sword a row and then holds it firmly.

the gangs stand together, they are once again ready to face him.

Nathan: "what's the plan?..."

Lilly: "I don't know, but I'm sure he doesn't remember us. Kirie?"

Kirie stared at him, her eyes looking dead serious: "all in..."

Nathan: "what?!"

Violet and Rose charged up their weapons, and they go with Kirie as soon she rushes up: "AAHH" webs, daggers, guns, and bombs all one at a time attacking Gaves.

Lilly: "wait! guys!"

Gaves, swing his swords up, created a cutting wave, hitting all the income grenades and bullets, and exploded. he flies out from the smoke, stopping Kirie's claws, before slashing Rose and getting cut on the back by Violet's sharp spider web. Rose grabbed his arm the strike right on his chest, glowing yellow acid eating his armor, Kirie unleashed her guns right on his side, Gaves accelerated, his speed increased, and he created a hypersonic sword line around him, slashing and cutting everyone, he then flies up, stops then dive down, for a short amount of tick, he became untouchable, afterimages of him (about 6) went around, sword lines went barrage, cutting Kirie and the twin. Gaves the appeared right in the air where he stopped mid-air. he pointed his left index finger, and the mark once again showed up, it fired another shot that flew right on the three. Violet created a big spider web, to absorb the shot, she then connected the string to Kirie, transfer the energy to help her charge up then fired a barrage of laser shots from her red hollow claws.

Gaves deflecting all the laser barrage, while Nathan and Lilly don't know what to do, they once again aimed the big caliber sniper at him and: "FIRE" Lilly scream, Nathan once again pulled the trigger, and the sniper shot flew straight at Gaves, the bullet make his left sword went off beat and creating a chance help Violet successfully stick her string on his left leg then pulled him down. Rose boosted Kirie up, she turns the machine gun into a giant blade to strike him down.

Kirie: "DIE" she swing the blade, Gaves was fast enough to block the hit but the force make his sword hit his chest, breaking his armor, and damaging him.

four of Gaves eyes went glowing red, he cut the giant blade in 6, kicked kirie making her go into the crates, cut Violet's string, dive down, slashed her and Rose, then he turn to Nathan, and Dashed 5 times, dodging bullets, he throws his right sword, that hit Lilly, making her falls down, then the blade returns on his right hand.

Lilly: "NATHAN"

Nathan tried to shoot him down, but it was useless, he was getting closer and closer with high speed, and his swords were ready to stab Nathan, killing him.

Lilly tried to stand up, she tried to grab him, and Kirie and the other two watched them, they could only watch.

Nathan looking at his death, saw his life flashing through his eyes, he closed them, and then...

a sound that likes two blades stabbed through someone's body. blood dripping, plastered, a gun fell down on the cold floor with the dripping sounds.

when Nathan open his eyes, he saw Lilly in front of him, she is looking at him when he looked down, he saw two high-tech swords stabbing her through her chest, her core was destroyed. she is holding the blades, and Nathan see Gaves standing behind.

Nathan: "LILLY"

Lilly puked out her core liquid, her shirt is stained with her own core blood. Gaves then pulled his sword back, and Lilly falls into Nathan's arms. Gaves raised the blades up about to finish him but he got slammed away by Kirie with the twin.

Nathan: "Lilly! Lilly!" he is panicking "we can fix you, c'mon please!"

Lilly: [core destroyed / all system shutting down / 20 seconds]

"hehe... I thought I could be a hero, welp it's about time I saved someone like the doctor..."

Nathan: "c'mon Lilly, don't please..." his tears fall on Lilly's face, his hand trying to hold her chest wound.

Lilly place her hand on Nathan's face, smiled, and closed her eyes "good luck... everyone..." her arm fall down, she is dead in Nathan's arms... [fatal error]

Nathan: "LILLY!!!!!!!"

"ARRHHHH" Kirie's scream echoed, and the laser cannon fired, a powerful and large beam breaking everything it touched, Gaves became untouchable, he begin moving like the flash, afterimages went all around, cutting the laser canon, strings and kunai.

Kirie with a loud voice, looked at Nathan sitting on the ground with Lilly's dead body in his arms: "NATHAN STAND BACK, THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE SAD". she turns back at Gaves who is coming.

Violet punched the ground, and her spider strings go around, creating a matrix of red sharp strings, Rose throws a smoke grenade, making the matrix of webs blind in the smoke.

Nathan tried to hold his tears, he stand up, carrying Lilly, he goes to the metal crates and put Lilly inside one of the core containers, looked at her for the last time then cock his sub-machine gun and stay back away from the danger area.

Kirie: "alright... bring it on!"

Rose and Violet get into their fighting stance, holding their dagger out, Kirie gets her hollow claws ready, the skin on her arms became black liquid, and her hands became sharp skeleton claws.

Gaves dived in, swinging his sword, around, and cutting the strings, the smoke seems useless, four of his red-glowing eyes see through the smoke, making him visible, he dashes, slicing, making his way toward the three. then when he was about to swing his sword to strike, Kirie yelled: "now!", Violet pulled her strings, and the red strings tied Gaves right arm and legs, Rose jumped toward him, throw her dagger then use her stinger to try and piercing through his core. gives used his left blade to cut loose on the right arm, he blocked Rose's stinger, then slashed her with the right blade, Kirie was also using her hollow claws to stab Gaves through his stomach, she tried to break his skull with her arms, but got cut off by him. Gaves sliced off the hollow claws, then the strings on his leg, he spin his sword around, making more spaces away from the red strings, Violet used her metal claws to block and attack Gaves, and Rose also joined her.

Nathan runs up to Kirie, he also keeps his distance, he knows what going to happen if he touches the black liquid.

Nathan: "what can I do, I can't just stay outside and watch"

Kirie looked at the twin who are fighting off Gaves then looks at Nathan: "Nathan... find me something named LSM-type: 973. I'm pretty sure that thing is around" she smirked slightly.

Nathan: "what? but-"

Kirie: "do it Nathan... please"

Nathan quite hesitated, he glanced at Gaves and the twin, he nods then run away to look for the thing that kirie asked him for.

Kirie after getting her arms back, stand up, re-armed her hollow claws, then run up to Violet and Rose to kill Gaves.

-----------------------------(meanwhile with Nathan)--------------------------

he ran around, searching from crate to crate, table to the container but couldn't find the object.

Nathan: "c'mon I know that thing is somewhere in here"

he found nothing but some scrap and spare parts of the machine, when he found a chamber with an unfinished core, he looked around at the tables near it. the thing that flashed in his eyes as he looked at the unfinished core is the small device inside the core.

Nathan: "There!" he gets his gun out, firing at the glass, then run up and grabs the device. he struggled to pull it out. he heard the sounds of his friends being in pain and trying their best to eliminate Gaves. he holds it, then tears it apart from the core. wires sparkled electricity. he picked up the device and then run back to his friends.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The three were having trouble against Gaves, Violet, and Rose are badly damaged, and Kirie still struck him with her attacks, holding him back. Gaves then sliced her up, knocked her back, and made her fall on her back. Gaves landed on the ground, he click the button on his left blade, and he once again repaired his damage.

Kirie looked at him as she understands the mechanism, she slowly backed away as Gaves slowly approached her, trying to grab her sniper.

suddenly Nathan was on a forklift diving at Gaves, he jumped out before it crashed, and Gaves for a moment, get rammed away. Nathan quickly got up, and Gaves sliced the forklift to scrap, Nathan then gets to Kirie, he Give her the device, and Kirie grabbed it then slammed it to her chest. Gaves flies toward them, Rose and Violet trying to stop him from using their weapons, but it didn't work out, Nathan was about to get killed, Kirie still trying to get the device into her body, and Rose was badly damaged on her legs.

Violet Get her strings on Gaves when he was behind Nathan, and pulled herself, pushing Gaves away, for a moment, she glanced at her sister and the other who was disbelieved. then Violet use her strings to slash Gaves, tied him, pinned him, cutting him. Gaves like being angered, he swings his swords, around, sword lines destroying all her strings, then he dashed in front of Violet.

Violet grins at her Death, she let go of her strings, "I wish I can meet Jame the last time.. heh".

Gaves, cut Violet's arms off, then swing his sword, and stabbed her right in the core, her core got pulled out with the sword, and broken in half, Gaves decapitated Violet's head. her head fell down on the cold floor, and her body got kicked away by Gaves.

everyone looked in awe, "NOOOO SISTER" Rose screamed up, she gritted her teeth, and tried to crawl to her sister's head.

Kirie: "Nathan.."

Nathan nods, grab Rose and then hold her back, "let me GO!" Rose tried to struggle out of Nathan, Nathan: "I know... it's hard to see someone you love going in front of your eyes. but we need to survive, live!"

Rose: "noo! NO NONO! LET ME GO" she cried as Nathan pulled her away, he picked her up and then ran away from Gaves. " KILL HIM KIRIE".

Kirie stands there, she looked at Gaves, and he kicked Violet's head away, levitate up above the ground, and repaired himself again. Kirie spits on the floor, she is angry and serious "heh... thanks for killing my friends... I hate to kill someone who tried to help us but since jame isn't here and he probably going to be mad if he sees his friend die... welp guess I have to end this before finding him" Kirie created a laser sword then rushed at Gaves "LET'S GO". Gaves also charged up, and they both engaged each other, final strike.
