MELTDOWN AND FREEDOM

"LET'S GO" Kirie and Gaves both dive at each other, armed with a strange module she told Nathan to get for her, she is not worried about not getting killed, but will settle the matter with Gaves, she slashed her laser blade, formed out a charged cut, Gaves also strike his blade to an X-shaped, and the cuts contact each other.

--------------------------(back to Clare and Jame)-------------------------

"LET'S SETTLE THIS" [weapon system: READY]

"COME ON" [DEAD-MARK: LOCKED]

Viz and Jame rush at each other, they raised their guns toward each other, gun blazing. Jame's body got shredded out by Viz's coins and guns, I can see his metal chest under his skin. Viz also got shot multiple times, tho she still used the coins to reflect some shots, dodging and sliding, switching weapons to weapons to deal the most damage to Jame, Jame however he doesn't even try to use something or try to dodge the income firepower, he just keep moving even he can't regen due to something Viz jammed in his core.

when Jame gets close to Viz, he turns his left machine gun into the hand claw again and then slammed down on the ground, boosting him up, he turns the right machine gun into a laser cannon, the pointed it right at Viz then "DIIIEE" a dead ray obliterate everything on its path.

Viz: "SH*T" she used her shotgun to blast herself upward, dodged the shot, let go of her shotgun, toss more coins, then fired at them with her revolver, the charged shot ricocheted from coin to coin, then hit right on jame chest, created a huge knockback. jame gritted his teeth, he turns his left claw into a grappling hook right when he got pierced in the chest, he fired then the spear went straight through Viz's hip, he pulled her away with him, then they both went through a metal wall, into the hallway. the scientists ran away when they saw the two.

I quickly follow them, seeing them killing each other right in the hallway. get myself in a cover, watching them, but this isn't good, I can see him slowly getting torn apart, and I need to think away to help him.

seeing the two trying to eliminate each other, the scientist and guard both get killed almost instantly due to the barrage of bullets and destruction. they slowly make their way through the hallway, Jame kicked Viz in the stomach, and he used both of his floating claws to overcome Viz, Viz keeps on tossing coins and hitting dots, she shot the hook, breaks it in half, and pulled it out, then turn it into an arm cannon, she fired her revolver, an explosion shot went from coins to Jame's eyes, blinded him. Jame slashed blindly right in front of him, Viz backflipped behind him and then punched him with the left-arm cannon, the shot from the arm cannon blew away jame inside, and black liquid splatted everywhere, Jame then got blasted straight into the security section. but before he got blasted 5 grenades roll over to Viz's legs, panicked, she quickly turns the arm cannon into a grappling hook and then pull herself to the security area right before the grenades went off.

a laser blade from the smoke in front of Viz, she quickly leans herself and dodged the fatal strike, when she looks clearly, she saw jame in his right left hand holding the squad barrel shotgun, aiming right at Viz's Body. Viz slammed the shotgun and tried to aim it away, but the shot went off too fast, and the pellets shred through her stomach left side, she then kicked jame, and blasted his head with a charged shot from the revolver. jame right side of his head was gone, and the metal skull and machinery parts got broken into pieces, but that doesn't stop him, he smiled like a crazy dude, grabbed Viz on then throw her up, and tried to shoot her with the shotgun. Viz turns her grappling hook into a grenade launcher and aimed at Jame.

Jame for a short moment, feels his power was running low due to his absolute solver can't regen more, he was immobilized (dammit... not... now).

when Viz pulled the trigger, a bullet hit right in the grenade holder, then it blow up, making Viz flung away to the other side. Jame falls down, I put my gun down and get to Jame, I looked at his chest, the lock symbol is glowing on his metal body.

I hurry to get gloves from a dead guard, being a hurry, I don't know what to do. "uhhh.. umm.. jame?"

Jame looked at me, his head is bleeding out of blood, and most of his body's skin and muscles were torn off, only the metal skeleton arms and robotic legs and chest remain. "heh... nice shot, careful tho, the D-blood" [warning low on D-blood // weapons system offline //] jame claws falls on the ground, unmoving.

Me: "what do I do?! I notice something Viz did something to your core"

jame: "core lock... it makes my core unable to support this physical body if my whole body got destroyed, the core will be exposed letting them contain me"

Me: "basically your true form is just a cube inside the shell that got sealed and can't be able to do anything other than watch. right, what do I do now!"

jame used his right arm to break away his chest, he pulled the metal part out, exposing his core, I can see the lock symbol right on his core.

jame: "okay... your power... focus on using something else other than lifting stuff"

Me: "Okay.. uh.. right" I get my left hand at his chest, on his core, focusing, a purple solver symbol appeared then get in jame core.

Jame: "just like a key and a lock, but think that you want to unlock it"

my hand shaking, the symbol started to spin left and right, and the lock symbol slowly got dimmer, suddenly the solver symbol disappeared, I feel myself was tired, and I breathed heavily, panicking. I continue to make the solver power to unlock the core lock.

from the other side of the room, Viz was getting up, this make me panic, sweat and tiredness isn't helping. "ah! c'mon!"

jame: " don't worry you can do it..." his eyes getting dimmer and dimmer, seeing this, I inhaled then breathed out, and closed my eyes, I can feel blood coming out from my left eye.

Viz got up, and half of her body was torn out, she picked up the revolver, then run up to us: "404!!!!!!"

the solver symbol then created a click, it disappeared, and a black cube with a lock symbol appeared on Jame's core, I grabbed it, but it seems it was too late, Viz is approaching close. I throw the cube at her, she shot it broken, then ready to blast at my head.

Viz: "SHINE!!" she fired the revolver...

[all system restored]

[absolute solver: engaged]

jame: "oh.. no you don't" jame grabbed her revolver, making the shot miss, he swung his left arm right into Viz's stomach. "now you die.." he squeezed his right arm, and Viz's arm then got broken, he ripped her arm away,

Viz: "DAMN YOU" she tried to raise his left arm up, Jame get his left arm back, and black liquid flowed on his metal skeleton arm to form a giant blade then cut Viz remaining arms. "AHHHH' she screamed.

jame body got fully repaired and regened, he throw away her decapitated arm and stabbed Viz in the chest, he ripped off her whole chest, broken metal bones, jame claws turned into a shotgun, jame blow away her legs, grabbed her from the inside, lift her up, he then uses the right claw to slash away half of her face as an act of revenge, Viz screamed painfully, her voice glitching like a machine. Jame then punched his left arm straight at her core through her body, he squeezed his hand, and her core got crushed. black liquid splattered, jame then throw Viz's dead body away.

I looked at him in awe: "woah... that was... intense"

jame helped me up: "sorry to make you watch that"

Me: "well I'm glad that I can help" I smiled, finally I can repay, not much but it's good now. "we're in the security section right?" tho I feel tired, I still want to find my friend back.

Jame: "yeah.. let me" jame and I go to a computer, he stabs his hand on the keyboard black liquid form went around, the computer flashing from cam to cam around the facility.

Me: "woah.."

then the screen stopped to display a battle scene "that's kirie, and who is that"

Jame: "crap! we have to go, they are on this floor, they are in danger!"

Jame quickly broke a wall, then ran.

Me: "wait for me!!" I followed him, we must be quick, our gang is in danger, I wish they can handle it until we come.

Jame: "KIRIE!!!"

----------------------------------(back to Nahan)----------------------------

Nathan is helping Rose to repair her legs, but he can't help Kirie "stay still I'll try my best"

Rose: "my sister... KILL HIM KIRIE" *cries*

Kirie slashed Gaves on the stomach, she used her hollow claws to catch up with his speed. Gaves blocked and struck back, he swipes his leg, making kirie lose balance, then swung his blades, Kirie blocked with the laser sword, and her claws got herself back up, Gaves let down a hollow of his right blade, he dashed up, striking down, Kirie dodged, he continues to strike her, dashed forward and right, slashing, then once more became untouchable, high on speed, many slashed with all those afterimages dashing around. Kirie got out her shield, and it stopped most of the cuts but still broke out, after timing correctly, she throw her laser sword at the position where Gaves left the hollow of his blade, the laser sword goes with high speed, and no expected, Gaves teleported back after doing his attack, the laser blade went pass his face, it makes Gaves 2 right eyes burned, he got stunned for a short moment.

Kirie: "how about that! I know your moves now idiot!" she picked up two metal pipes and then turned them into a high-caliber sniper and a power spear. she fired at Gaves.

Gaves swing his sword, quick cut, and make the bullet in two, he dashes up and swings his sword, and a barrage of sword lines strikes the spear and kirie hollow claws, his left blade, provided him repair, but still isn't perfect, he stabs his left sword at kirie head, she tilted her head then bite the blade with her teeth. Kirie then parried, she stabbed the spear right into Gaves's stomach, her claws slashed Gaves, and knocked him back, she then throw the spear at him, the spear with a jet boost, it went straight through Gaves's chest, but missed his core. Gaves break the spear, pulled it out, then activated the charges on his left sword, and repaired him, tho the damage is not fully gone, the wounds still remain after he repaired them. he put his sword side to side, and a red electric aura surrounding him, his remaining eyes sparked red, then he dashed to Kirie, swing a sword line to cut her in four.

Kirie grabbed the blades with her own hand, and they both have a standoff, Kirie's back claws stabbing Gaves rapidly, he trying to make the sword cut her neck like a scissor, Kirie overcome with strength, she slowly making the blades away from her neck "you can't kill me!" she let out a sinister laugh, stabbing Gaves with her claws.

[multiple errors detected // system overloading]

[activating: IUP system]

Gaves let out a horrified screech his body creating a shock wave and pushing kirie back, he then floats up, a strong red aura sparkling lightning around him, creating a sinister atmosphere, he holds the sword tightly, [onslaught: 1/15.09 remain] he charged at Kirie.

"OH YEAH! I CAN DO THAT TOO" she stands up and slams her claw hand against her chest, a red light glowing from her chest, the module she received from Nathan created an energy sphere shield around her, her wound then instantly healed, and her eyes bleed out black liquid, she also let out a scream before rush up to Gaves: "I WILL DEVOUR YOUR BLOOD"

Gaves and Kirie both contact, and they strike each other with a blade, Kirie's blade got snapped in half as she stabs him, and Gaves's blade is blocked by the shield but it soon broke. there was no damage upon hitting him, Kirie continue to slash him with her claws, Gaves strike Kirie, and her body got sliced and diced, but still recovered with super high speed. Gaves can't even take a single hit, Kirie still striking him, for a slight moment, she dodged his slash from the left blade, and grabbed it, her head pump Gaves then used her back claws to slap away his left blade, Gaves kicked Kirie, he tried to get the blade back, but Kirie used a grappling hook to bring it back, she smirked, then break the blade using the laser rays from her hollow claws while the sword got flung at her. the blade then exploded.

Gaves looks at her in disbelieve, he holds the right blade with two arms, gets into a fighting stance, wings became red, [ENRAGED // ONSLAUGHT: 0/30.043 remaining] he continued to rush at Kirie, she also runs up to him "HAHAHA" Kirie slam a hammer she creates at him, Gaves sliced it, stab Kirie on the Chest, Kirie Claws stab Gaves from behind but he was immuted to physical damage. Gaves pinned Kirie in a broken chamber, his sword digging straight through her chest, he pointed his index finger at her, blasting her with piercing shots, then punched her through the chamber. he grabbed the sword fly through the chamber then chop Kirie's head. she got super regeneration, but the time that keep her going is running low, the module is melted.

Gaves: [ONSLAUGH: 5...4...3...2...1] he swings his sword, and Kirie also makes her claws strike at him. when the attacks both hit each other, Gaves ability was out, also was Kirie, the sword cut Kirie right on the stomach, and Kirie's claws successfully decapitated Gaves's left arm and knocked him back.

they both lay on the ground, Kirie panting, she lift her head up, Gaves's right leg was badly damaged, he use his sword as a lift to stand up, he looked at her with his last eyes, slowly approaching Kirie. she tried to get up, but due to badly wound on her body, she can hardly doing soo.

Kirie: "dammit.." she mumbled, trying to create something but she was soo tired.

as Gaves slowly approaches her, he stands on his foot and raises the blade up ready to kill Kirie. Kirie closed her eyes, knowing she can't do anything left other than accept the death.

"KIRIE" a familiar voice went up, from above, Jame dived at the spot where kirie stay, Gaves slashed his blade, Jame use his floating claw to block it then he went straight for the kill, he get his right arm into a metal claw then it went straight through Gaves chest, destroyed his core.

Gave: [core terminated] Gaves blade fall on the ground, he looked at Jame for the final time as he remembered something. Jame took his hand back, letting Gaves fall dead on the floor.

Jame: "kirie!" he hugged Kirie, and use his ability to repair her. "I'm sorry, I was late, tell me everything was alright"

Kirie: *panting slowly* "Jame..." she hugged him back "I'm afraid it's not"

Me: "Jame, Kirie!, thank god you are alright. where the others"

kirie looked away, her eyes saying something she doesn't want to tell me.

Nathan: "Clare!" Nathan run up with Rose in his arms "you two are here" he let out a smile.

Me: "nice, wait where's Lilly?"

his smile went down so as his eyes. Rose was also like him

Jame: "guys?" he saw something and then use his absolute solver power to bring it back, it was a head, Violet's head.

jame and I were shocked, Nathan gritted his teeth. Jame holds her head: "what... happened"

Nathan sighed, he talk with a sad tone: "they tried to save me, Lilly first then... I can't do anything about it"

I cry: "LILLY" Rose looks at me and her sister's head, he told jame to let her hold it.

Jame doesn't hesitate he looked down and helped Kirie stand up "they were good friends... if I can get here faster, they wouldn't die"

Kirie: "it wasn't your fault" she grabbed his arm

Jame: "Clare...'

Me: "I'm... *sob*"

The conversation ended with our tears, we get to Lilly's body and get back the remaining of Violet, we asked jame to turn them into dust. when he slowly doing so, we let out respect and goodbye to the two who helped us a lot.

afterward, we got out of the sector, with our sadness remaining in our tears and mind.

I closed the door to leave everything behind, walking along down the hallway with my friends, Jame is carrying Rose in his arm, he gently comforted Rose with his floating claw, she hold his jacket tightly, and Kirie hold his right hand, doesn't talk anything, me and Nathan feels downed we just looked at each other and them.

walking down the hallway, we entered a place that have many metal doors and glass walls on two sides, Jame pressed the control panel and the lights around the long hallway went up, on each door, there were numbers tagged with ID and numbers. walking down to get to the other side, we look over on both sides, seeing many horrible creations from this organization, they look like they had been "modified", the subjects inside each of every chamber looking at us, some look like a human or a core, some looks like an eldritch version of a monster. all of them got to the glass wall and looked at me and the others.

when we got to the end and open the blast door, Jame looked back at all of the subjects inside the chambers he see they were looking at him with a pitiful looks even though most of them looks like a nightmare of machines and flesh, a cyborg girl with red hair, two X-eyes drawing on the glass, her Metal skeleton arm with blood wires create a sentence "save us". we hesitated, waiting for Jame for his next action.

Me: "Jame...?" / Nathan: "Buddy...?"

jame thought for a while, his eyes looking determinate more than ever, he let go of Kirie's hand, and she looked at him nods her head.

Jame: "I'm tired of this organization...." He form his right hand into a metal claw, then jabbed right at the control panel. [release 900 SC-chamber: Y/N]

"I will destroy this whole place" [Y]

an alarm went up, all of the metal in this place had been open: [warning all containment chambers had been unlocked, all personnel evacuated from the facility immediately].

many horrible subjects got out of the room and they go past us, many dangerous weapons had been attached to their body, and blood and liquid were on their body. I can hear them whispering "thank you..." as they go.

jame takes his hand back, then we get running. guards and attacker cores come up, they quickly open fire at the subject. a blue hair subject with a bladed tail started to break their guns, killing the incoming forces, making way for us and other subjects to get out of this underground place. a gun head machine with iron claws slowly decapitated a guard, and that cyborg girl was using telekinesis to break through walls and barriers. they were helping us.

me and everyone get to the ground floor, all the subject in this place is destroying everything, killing everything they see except us.

Jame: "before we could go, we need to kill the director and this place reactor core"

Me: "I don't know who or what that is but let's do it"

Nathan: "I'm with you man"

we moved fast through the area, finding the room that said director, Kirie busted the door and we move in just to see no one. on the table was a computer.

Kirielane: "He's gone"

jame then place Rose down: "Can you walk now?"

Rose: "Thank you brother" She gives him a hug before letting jame walk to the computer.

me and the others also looked at it to see the main control of everything, Jame then begins to hack in, he activate the self-destruct sequence, the alarm went up and the time begin to count down. "many subjects started to escape the facility" the computer displayed.

Rose: "we better bail guys, we can find that man somewhere"

Me: "jame we might need to go"

jame nods then we started to run from the hallway and into the plane hangar where we saw many planes with subjects taken away. we split up to find a transport to get out of the blast zone.

Me: "guys look!" I pointed at a jet, it looks like it can hold 10 people.

Jame: "nice clare"

we get to the jet and entered, Jame and Kirie get on the pilot seat, while Nathan, Rose, and I stay in the passenger seats. more gunshots coming from outside, and the guards around the facility are shooting at us, blocking the flyway.

Jame: "dammit!"

the guards then fired in other directions, and many subjects jump out then attack the guards, killing them and they also died trying. Jame started the jet and it goes past the guard. the jet gets to the main flyway, the helicopter falls and the forest is burning.

Jame: "everyone ready! we going now!"

the jet boosts up, the speed getting faster to get us in the air.

------------------------------(main system)------------------------

[subject remains on the area: 1]

[all data transferred]

[all personnel remain inside area: 1.300.000]

[self-destruct: ready]

[goodbye]

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

we got in the air, a huge explosion goes off at the facility, a huge blast knocked away all the clouds left with the giant red ray of dead that expanded eating everything it touch.

Me: "Jame?!!!!"

Jame: "I know!!!" [boosting system // VTOL-JET]

the jet blasted through the sky, avoiding the area of effect.

Nathan: "Ooh thank god"

we took a big relief to calm down.

Jame: "Hope all of them get out safely"

Kirielane: "They will, their survival instinct will help them.

Jame looked back at us, to check, he smiled to see we were still fine.

*thumb thumb thumb* a strange noise came from nowhere, we got scared and surprised

Jame: "What the f**k what that?" he looks around the jet, and gets out of his seat "Kirie you stay here"

Kirielane: "alright" she spoke with a slightly serious tone.

Jame walks down the jet, and into the storage, I, Rose and Nathan were told to stay still in our seats. Jame looked around in the storage, he just see small boxes and some scattered tools around the jet floor. "huh?... I swear I heard something, did y'all hear it too?"

we shake our heads, don't know what he just told us about, what "sound" did he hear... did we hear anything...?

jame was confused, when he was about to walk out of the storage, a tall girl suddenly appeared from behind him.

Me: "JAME BEHIND YOU"

Jame: "What?" he looked back, seeing the tall girl, standing back, and raising his gun at her "WHO ARE YOU?"

Kirie wanted to go to him but she have to steer the plane.

the girl was kinda tall, about 2.05m tall, she stepped out, and we can see she have a halo that looks like blood on her head, she is the second one we see that have a halo kinda like Jame. her eyes were deep blue looking at jame, her black and short messy hair make the highlight of her body with the red scarf, she wears a black and grey stripe long-sleeve shirt, dark blue jeans, and grey shoes and she was holding a clipboard with both of her hand from behind.

Jame: "I said who are you!?" jame yelled at her, his voice are up, and his gun turned into a railgun.

the girl said nothing, she take her clipboard out and wrote on it, she gave Jame a mysterious smile when she was done she showed to him and us: "I can't speak, you can call me Mari, or god".

Me: "What?"

Nathan: "What the.."

Rose: "Heh?..."

Kirie: .....

jame: "god?"

Mari wrote again: "Yes, don't worry Jame, I'm not here to cause any trouble, it's just that I wanted to thank you for reaching this far. with all the things you had done, I can have more free time to play with humanity"

Jame was dumbfounded, he doesn't know what she mean but he was sure she was not an ordinary being.

Mari continued with her writing: "Following the rule and law of this word is hard, I always break it :> anyway, I just wanted to say hi to you and your friends, and I hope you all can beat him and protect Kirie, even tho you can't :<" she made a small sad face before finished "goodbye... for now"

Jame: "What?! what do you mean by that?"

Mari suddenly disappeared without a trace, like vanishing from existence.

jame: "HEY"

the silence just covered what just happen me and the others didn't say a word and thought of the two words she wrote "Mari, God"

(GOD-MIND): [this isn't good, I can't do anything, what is she?]

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

Mari: "Don't mind me.... I'll just be around.... watching you, him, them... you all... all those lives who are reading....watching us"

"hail to your god, be my worshippers"

:>
