Chapter XXIX

Nico

NICO, HIS MOM AND CALEB went through a series of halls and stairs. They could hear the fight that was happening on Nica and Niche's side, through the communicator.

After a few turns, they reached the control room, where Nica was fighting a guy that was weilding a dagger and Niche was slumped on the wall, unconscious.

Nico ran to where Niche was and checked her vitals.

'Breathing and pulse, just fine.' he thought.

"Guys, we're out!" Nico heard Nis' voice on his earpiece.

"We'll be there." he responded.

He noticed Caleb was already on the other side of Niche. "A stab in the leg and a bump on the head. Other than that, she’s fine."

Nico saw their mother join the fight. He also noticed the red liquid oozing from Nica's side and arm. She was stabbed by the guy.

"Give up Jason, you will never win against me! Against us!" Nica yelled.

"Shut up bitch!" he rerorted.

Suddenly, Mom lunged and kneed him on the stomach. She then flung him to the wall and brought him down to the floor. She placed her foot on his chest. "Nobody, and I mean nobody, calls my daughter a bitch. You son of a bitch!"

She punched him on the face and knocked him out.

"Mom!" Nica hugged her. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, baby girl."

“Although, you’re pretty scary.”

“Not a word Nica.” Nico saw Nica nod.

"So I'm not your baby girl too, mommy?" Niche stood up from where she was. Nico helped her up and together, they went their way towards them.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"I'm glad you're fine too, Niche. And you're both my baby girls, okay?"

There was suddenly a gunshot and Nico heard Caleb yell in pain. He saw him on the floor, clutching his right shoulder. Blood was oozing from it. Not that far from him was Oribel, the big boss.

"Caleb!" Nica yelled. "Orebil!"

"Why? Why are you such a pain in the ass, huh? You Warren Family and your little boyfriend, Nica." he started. "If you didn't meddle, I would've left you alone! Carmen, you would've been a queen! Nica, you and your siblings would've been rulers!"

Nico stopped for a moment, analyzing what Orebil just said. Then it came to him.

"You're in love with my mother!" he blurted.

"The first time I laid my eyes on her. But she chose that George, a mere soldier at that time!"

"You will never stop us, Orebil. I've already put the code. I only have to push the button and this place will blow up all the way to Hades!" Nica yelled.

"You and your antics." he scoffed. "Oh well. I suppose you can blow this place up. I'll just rebuild Libero and this time, we'll succeed. I will bring down this world to its knees. I'll be its king, I will change it. I will change it to my image and ideals."

"You're crazier than Dr. Crazy!" Nico said.

"Shut up!"

Orebi went closer. Nico noticed Nica ready to charge, but their Mom went ahead of her.

"Take Caleb and get out of here. All of you! And maybe that Jason kid too." Mom said and kneed Orebil in the face.

"No! It's my duty! I should be the one who'll finish Orebil! I will end Libero!" Nica yelled and started to struggle against Nico's grip.

"Niche! Do your duty as a big sister and get your siblings out of here! Listen to me, now!" Mom said, still fighting with Orebil.

"But mom!"

"I'm fully aware I'm the reason Jackson turned out like this!"

Jackson?

"That's why I'm taking responsibility!"

"No! Mom!" Nica shouted.

Niche put Nica in a triangle head lock, with her right arm pinned at the side of her head. And Caleb hugged her waist, locking her left arm with it.

"Nica, calm down! Let's just do what Mom said." Niche said.

"Please Nica." Caleb seconded.

"No! It's my burden to carry! Not Mom's! Mom!"

"Kids! Go! Get out of here! All of you!"

Nico felt his pocket and took out a syringe with bright green liquid in it. He didn't know what it was, but he took it from Dr. Crazy's pocket on the way out of the prison downstairs at the south wing.

He injected it to Nica.

"No! Mom! Mommy." Nica's voice quieted down and she fell into unconsciousness

"Now go! I'll bring this place down! And I'll bring Libero and Jackson with me."

With tearful eyes, Nico helped Niche with Jason while Caleb carried Nica by himself. He forgot the fact that he was shot in the shoulder and was generally hurt himself.

The three of them ran out of the facility. Sirens started to blare, and a voice was warning everyone to evacuate the facility.

"Meltdown in T-minus 3minutes." the robotic feminine voice said.

After a series of halls the three of them got out of the facility. And just as they reached where Nis and everybody else was, the research facility exploded, together with Carmen Cortes-Warren and Jackson Orebil.
