“All units disperse!!”

In her order, every member who followed her inside the facility dispersed.

“Team A, clear the obstacles. Team B, look out for any injured person. If any of you found any survivor, escort them out.”

“Team C, follow me and be prepared to evacuate the target.”

“Yes ma’am.”

The teams who heard her orders acted instantly. Some cleared the obstacles as the facility is breaking down rapidly. But what they can’t find was any survivor.

Not finding anyone, they steadily move forward while clearing the evidence of them being there.

Soon, they arrived in the front of the huge mechanical door that houses their target.

“Team D, break this wall.”

“Yes!!”

On the woman’s orders, three people came forward with various tools as they opened the door.

“Team B, any signs of survivors?”

“No ma’am. We found not even a single body. I guess they really evacuated everyone.”

“Is that so….”

The woman, after receiving the report, stared at the wall in front of her.

Thump, Thump

Her heart throbbed faster. Her excitement to meet the one her grandmother talked about so highly made her nervous.

From the young age, she, who was adorned by her grandmother, always heard about the man they were trying to rescue.

“Listen here, my child. There will come a time when the world will face its biggest fear. There will be no one who you can go to except for him.”

“Who are you talking about, grandma?”

A little girl, about the age of 6, wearing gi, asked her grandmother while sitting on her lap.

The grandmother looked at her grandchild with an innocent smile as she told her about the man.

“He helped everyone with the technology that we are using now. He liberated the humanity from the old technology and religion.”

“But in school, they taught us that the one who brought technological revolution was Heath Von Nuevan. Are you talking about him?”

“NO!!”

Her grandma, who a second ago wore a motherly smile, was now looking like an asura, full of vengeance and wrath.

“That man is a traitor! He locked him and stole his achievements. He is a devil in the flesh of human. That goddamn piece of garbage!!”

Her face turned red, her eyes became bloodshot and her fists trembled when he remembered what happen years ago.

“Remember one thing, my child. He is the bringer of the end. They lock deep the one who can save us within his fortress of a facility.”

She then took hold of her granddaughter’s tiny hands, her hand trembling.

“Promise me one thing, my child. If I could not save him, please…”

Tears flowed out of the dried old eyes as she pleaded to her granddaughter.

“Please save him. Without him, our world will be doomed.”

The granddaughter looked at her grandma with questionable gaze, but then, with a childish smile, assured her grandmas she wiped her tears.

“Do not worry, grandma. I will save him.”

Her grandma, hearing her, hugged her tightly as she cried loudly.

The little girl didn’t know her words will really come true one day as she will become a catalyst that will decide the fate of this earth.

Boom, Boom, Boom!

Thud!

The huge mechanical door that stood tall finally collapsed with consecutive explosions as the men in black entered the laboratory.

“Secure the parameter quickly and look for any survivors. Team C, follow me to the centre.”

“Yes ma’am.”

After breaking down the wall, they all hurried through the fire and smoke until they all reached the centre, where their target was.

The woman, their leader, looked at the tank that was amid the fire. Even though the surrounding is chaotic, the person who floats inside remained unconscious. The woman, who looked at the man in the tank, had tears welled up.

“Creator! How can you be in this miserable state?”

She approached the tank, not minding the smoke and the fire in front of her. Her subordinates looked at her without interrupting her. The other teams that were away also came to the centre as they all looked at the man inside the tank.

‘So he is the creator.’

They all thought of the same thing as the image of the man is then engraved in their minds.

The woman, holding the locket in her hands, moved towards the tank when suddenly a purple appeared, and then the unconscious man opened the eyes.

“Leader!!”

The huge man behind the woman called her loudly, but the woman, like a doll, walked towards the tank.

The liquid inside the tank bubbled and suddenly, it explode.

Boom!

The liquid inside the tank flow out while the shards of glass spread everywhere. The people who were there timely protected themselves while the huge man used himself as the shield to protect his leader.

“Ahh…”

“Snap out of it, leader.”

After this voice, the woman came to her senses as she looked at her subordinate in front of her.

“What happened? Why are you… Why are you bleeding?”

“I am fine. The glass shards scratched me a little.”

The man said, laughing as the suits they were wearing were specially designed to protect them in a situation like this. The woman who reassured her subordinate’s safety then asked about the situation.

“What happened to the creator?”

“I don’t know. Suddenly a purple light appeared inside the tank and then the tank exploded.”

“What!!”

The woman who heard him had her eyes wide open as she then ran towards the tank.

“How can you all stand? Find him!!”

She shouted as she moved towards the tank, only to find a figure behind the smoke, shouting.

“Ahhhhh…. I will kill you!! I will kill you Spear Master. Ahhh…AAAHH!!”

The figure turned out to be the man inside the tank. As the smoke cleared, his naked body appeared before the people in black.

While gripping his chest, he shouted while dark purple energy, which was raging around, slowly subsided. He looked like an experimented subject straight out of the movie as he then slowly staggered before plopping down, fainting in the puddle of water he was in moments ago.

Silence descended as they all looked at the man lying in the puddle. The one broke the silence was none other than their leader.

“What are you all doing? Pick him up. There are shards of glass that can hurt him.”

“O-Ok.”

The voice of their leader reminded them of their mission as they all slowly lifted the man up, but…

“What are you doing to me?”

The man who was unconscious seconds ago grabbed the neck of one the person who was trying to pick him up. He then stared down at the people assembled there with bloodshot eyes.

“What have you done to me? Where am I?”

He looked around only to find the burnt down laboratory and smoke and the people wearing black clothes. He then found a woman who stood tall, facing him with strange eyes as he then threw the man he was holding the neck of.

“Who are you people, and why am I here? I was at the battlefield fighting that coward, Spear Master.”

He tried to walk towards them, but staggered. The woman who saw him tried to hold him, only to get shoved back.

“Stay away!! Just answer my ques… Wait!! Why do I look like him?”

He screamed as he looked down on the reflection of his in the puddle. His eyes became round with confusion on his face. He then took hold of the woman he shoved off as he then shook her.

“Tell me, woman. Whose body is this and where am I!!”

The woman, seeing the man up close, had her eyes blanked out as she stared at the body of the man. The huge subordinate of her then chopped the side of the man’s neck, making him unconscious again.

“We should take him back to the base. We don’t know when Heath and his men will arrive. What do you say, leader?”

The huge man said as he looked at his leader, only to find her blushing.

“L-Leader?”

“W-What? Don’t look at me like that!!”

After calming herself down, she looked at the unconscious man while remembering the sensation of his hands holding her roughly.

“L-lift him and take him from here as fast as possible.”

“Yes, leader!”

This time, the people carefully inspected him and took him away as they all then escaped the facility, leaving while completing their aim.
