In a deep underground laboratory is a man and woman sitting side by side in their lab coats furiously writing down symbols paper to paper equally in sync.
"Scritch, scritch, scritch"
Similar to a professional chef moving from pot the pot, the two continue to write complicated formulas and unrecognizable runes on the spreaded out sheets of paper. Abruptly the woman stop and pushes her cat eyed glasses to her pale white face; on her left hand a glamorous golden ring can been seen. Which is similar to ring on the man left hand.
The two are married.
Also stopping, the man calm gaze swept towards the woman "..Honey don't stress out, just a little more time and maybe.." extending his arm out he softly move his finger through the woman long, ink black hair "just a little more time, yes that's it" the man face showed a serious yet soft expression showing all of his love openly.
However this only cause the woman face to cringe in frustration as tears form in the corner of her eyes "I know Max but- but" not letting her finish her sentence, Max tightly embraced his wife and whispered into her ear " Don't worry,"
Time slowly stop as Max embrace his wife who is tightly wrapping her arm around him as tears flow down from her face onto his lab coat.
"Boom! Boom!"
Explosions invaded the atmosphere causing both of them to suddenly stop and frown as they quickly continue to write but ten times as fast indicating how grave the situation is.
"Max, Marina! You've betrayed our organization, give us your latest research and maybe we'll let you two stay alive" It was at this moment a deep masculine voice sounded from behind the vaulted door with obvious malicious intent.
Gnashing her teeth Marina continue working as well as Max who's eyebrows is furrowed with sweat profusely pouring down his face.
Hearing no one answering him the voice said in rage " You fucks better open the door or...you know what, fuck it!" pulling a radio from his cloak, he push a button and static sounded out.
"Squad 4 report in,"
"Leader here," a voice answers
"Squad 4 have found the fault, repeat we have found the vault. Bring the explosions,quickly!"
"Yes!"
Mean while in the laboratory , a smile creep up Marina face as she quickly put down her pen and embrace her husband. A look of confusion appeared on Max face as he dumbly look at Marina "A-are you OK" Max thought that either is wife has gone insane or something very fortunate happen.
"Shut up, of course I'm OK! I finally found the solution!" a blissful smile blossom on her face.
Luckily she was still sane.
Hearing her words, Max also drop his pen and his eyes open with surprise "A-are you sure?" he ask.
"Yes!"
Letting loose of her husband she rapidly gather the papers she was working on and showed it to her husband "See!"
Scanning over the documents, Max expression drastically change as his face is fill with smiles too "OK, calm down. Hurry up and put it inside the computer before the other arrive,"
"OK," Marina face once again became serious.
Fixing her lap coat she walk up to the computer control panels, Marina said "Cat!"
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
"Doop! Deep! Beep! Boop! Doop!"
Immediately countless Luminous light fill the room as a robotic voice resounded "Masters, Cat has arrive"
"Cat, form 2!" Marina shouted.
"Yes,"
High pitch whirling clamor invaded the atmosphere as the luminous lights dimmed, and then everything black out and instantly flashed back on; appearing is a robotic black bird flapping its wings.
"What are you doing, honey?" Max ask with confusion.
"No matter what we do, we're going to die and if this gets in the hands of the wrong people who can tell what's the future will be like," Marina said as her voice became hoarse.
Who wants to die? Everyone wants to live rather its cockroaches or flies. But some sacrifices are meant to be made so that there'll be a future.
Mixed feeling swell up inside Max as a fleeting glint of sadness flash in his eyes "What are we going to do then?"
"When can mislead them with false data and give the real one to cat, she will be able to protect it and as well as protect Morgan," Marina said solemnly.
Hesitantly Max sighed "OK,"
"OK, we don't have much time, Cat!'
"Yes master,"
Holding the papers towards the black robotic bird, Marina said "Copy these papers and save it, protect it as well as protect Morgan if the organization tries to do anything to him,"
"Yes, m-"
Not letting Cat finish her statement, she quickly replied "No don't call me master, I'm not your master anymore. Morgan is, understood?"
"B-but,"
"No buts, do you understand or not?"
"Yes, creator,"
Quickly scanning the papers, Cat then transform into robotic cockroach and crawl through the cracks of a wall to climb back towards the surface.
Burning up the documents, Max and Marina quickly write up a fake one and place it on the table.
"So this is it huh?" Max sighed
"Even in the afterlife I'll still love you Max"
"Hehe..I should be the one saying that honey" Wrapping his arm around her waist he lean over her and deep kiss her. After a couple of minutes or so he let go "I love you to, Mariana,"
"Boom! Crash!"
It was at this moment the vault door exploded into smithereens as dozens of black cloaked personnel surrounding a long, ink black haired individual who had a vicious smirk on his face.
"We tried to give you two a chance but you wouldn't take it, now give us the data and maybe you won't die a torturous death," the man said with a look of disdain.
"No, this technology shouldn't ever be in the hands if the likes of you!" Marina said as her is flushed with rage while Max fierce gaze burn holes in the man.
"Kill them," Not showing them any face he turn around and slowly walk off "Stupid you should've just given it to us, hehe with this new technology a bright future awaits us,"
