B-1x walked through the 37th-floor hallway towards the elevator, but suddenly alarms blared through the building. Confused and unsure of what to do, B-1x's heart rate increased, but he remains calm as he continued to walk toward the elevator. The elevator's sign indicated that it was in lockdown and closed. With no instructions given to him on how to proceed in this situation, B-1x turned around and walked back to the lab, where he saw the two VR lab technicians running toward him. The panicked expressions on their faces made it clear that something serious was happening.
"I told you something was off about this place," Carl exclaimed as he ran alongside James.
"Not now, Carl," James retorted. "We need to figure out what's going on. This alarm can only mean one of two things: an attack on the base or a major incident in the experimental bio labs beneath us."
"What do you mean 'beneath us'? Are there more levels to this base that I don't know about?" Carl asked frantically.
"It's classified information, Carl. I can't disclose that to you. We need to focus on getting out of here before it's too late," James replied with urgency in his voice.
Carl mind was filled with paranoia He had read this scenario a million times in fiction. . Running along the labs and hallways toward the elevator.
They both see b-1x casually walking without a care in the world. They stop and see that he is coming from the place where they were heading to. The floor elevators.
"Come on man, speak up! What's going on? Did you see anything? Did you hear anything? Are we under attack or what? We need to know, man!"
B-1x finally opens his mouth after a few minutes,
"The elevator, it's closed. And there are guards everywhere, they are locking down the base. I have no orders on what to do."
James interjects,
"Shit, that's not good. We need to get out of here, now! Carl, you know the way to the emergency exits, lead the way!"
Carl nods, "Right, follow me, let's move! B-1x, stay close and do what we do."
The three of them quickly make their way through the chaos, dodging panicked people and armed guards as they race towards the emergency exits, their minds set on one thing: escape before it's too late.
James and Carl are surprised by Dr. Hector's sudden appearance and his reference to B-1x. As the alarms continue to blare and the base descends into chaos, the group is keenly aware of the urgent need to leave. Dr. Hector's demeanor is grave and determined as he explains the situation to the technicians.
He mentions that they need to escape the base and get as far away from it as possible. B-1x, who has been mostly silent until now, seems to understand the gravity of the situation and follows Dr. Hector without hesitation. James and Carl, who are still trying to process everything that's happening, quickly fall in line and follow the group as they make their way through the now-deserted hallways and stairwells. With each step, the urgency to get out of the base becomes more and more palpable as the rumbling from beneath their feet signals that something catastrophic is about to happen.
Suddenly out of the blue, a tall figure appears to block their way. With a sinister smile of anger on his face and some green and purple liquid dripping from his hands, covering some of his clothes. Wearing a military uniform, a scar ran through one side-eye, General Javier stood tall like a goliath.
"YOU FUCKING INSECTS. How dare you cause such destruction like this? Was it your plan, you mad, retarded doctor? You caused immeasurable damage by releasing experimental abominations. I had to make my way from the chamber of B-1x to this current floor. Would you go this far for your son? I admire that kind of commitment, HAHAHAA," General Javier sneered as he taunted Dr. Hector.
All three of them seemed stunned by the news. James and Carl were visibly shaken and terrified, while B-1x had no visible emotions on his face, but his eyes betrayed a storm of emotions and confusion. He had just learned that Dr. Hector was his biological father and he couldn't process it yet. Dr. Hector's desperate plea to escape with him ringing in his ears. He was too stunned to even breathe for a few seconds.
"I had no knowledge of these 'abominations' you speak of. My only concern was getting my son, B-1x, out of this place. We can work together to try and escape and contain this situation, but I assure you, I had no part in this." Dr Hector's voice is firm but filled with an undertone of fear, not just for his safety but for the safety of the others. He knew that this was a dire situation and every second counts. He looks at B-1x with a longing look, reaching out his hand towards him, silently asking him to come with him and escape this nightmare together.
The figure, General Javier, sneers at them. The green and purple liquid on his hands glistened under the fluorescent lights. "I don't have to understand. My orders are clear. You, and anyone involved in this, will be dealt with accordingly." He takes a step forward, looming over them intimidatingly.

“ I know your circumstances, in general, you have a sick son right? This fucking program has chosen people like us. Using our emotions and attachments to forward all kinds of plots. I can help you with his illness. Please just help us and come with us. I can guarantee your safety and your child's as well.” dr hector said to convince Javier
"You think you can play me with my son's illness, you son of a bitch? You think you can manipulate me like the rest of these puppets here? I'll kill you and your son before I let you escape and spread your lies." The General's face was red with anger as he tightened his grip on Dr. Hector's neck.
the technicians, James and Carl, were paralyzed with fear. They didn't know what to do or say. They knew that General Javier was a powerful and ruthless man and that he wouldn't hesitate to kill them all if he felt threatened.
Seeing the doctor getting strangled for a few seconds B-1 immediately gets restless. Making a fist with so much strength that it's turning completely red-blue out of sheer frustration.
Dr. Hector, struggling to speak, managed to say "I-I-I'm not lying! I-I have the cure for your son's illness! P-Please let me go and I'll show you the proof!"
“Will you not take this chance to help your son? Look at me and what I have been through for mine”
The general hesitated for a moment, looking into Dr. Hector's eyes, trying to see if he was lying or not. Finally, he released Dr. Hector and let him go. "Fine, show me your proof. But if you're lying, I'll make sure you and your son suffer before you die."
Dr. Hector quickly pulled out a small vial from his pocket and showed it to the general. "This is the cure. It's a new type of stem cell therapy, developed using the latest technology. I've been working on it for years, and I can guarantee that it will cure your son's illness."
The general looked at the vial, unsure of what to do. He knew that Dr. Hector had a reputation for being a brilliant scientist and that many of the breakthroughs in the base were his work. He also knew that he couldn't afford to waste any more time here, as the monsters were getting closer.
He finally made his decision. "Fine, I'll trust you. But if you're lying, I'll make sure you pay for it. Let's go."
The group quickly followed the general, who was leading them toward the upper floors
All these remarks were making b-1x so anxious. His eyes could not focus as he was peeking again and again toward the doctor. He was his son? A feeling he has never felt before. A feeling of belonging. B-1x was smiling slightly at the thought that he was not alone. there was someone always looking after him.
The sudden appearance of the monstrous creature sent shockwaves of terror through the room. Its massive hand reached out with lightning speed and swiped the general with ease, sending him flying across the room with incredible force. The sound of the general's body colliding with the wall was deafening, like a thunderclap in the quiet room.
"Thud"
The creature itself was a terrifying sight to behold. Its body was a grotesque fusion of bear and something else, something inhuman. Its mouth was a gaping maw filled with razor-sharp teeth, caked with blood and bits of bone. Its eyes were like those of a praying mantis, cold and calculating. A glowing rock pulsed within its chest, as if it were the creature's very life force.
It stood at an imposing 20 feet tall, towering over all those in the room. Its mutated form was an abomination, a hybrid of species that should never have been brought together. The sight of it was enough to make even the bravest of men quiver in fear.
Except for b-1x who was dead serious and completely ready because he was facing a real threat. All the others were frozen like statues due to fear. Its eyes were dead-focused as it found its prey
Carl and James quickly helped the general to his feet and began sprinting towards the armory. Each floor of the facility was massive, spanning 1500-3000 yards in size. They knew it would take time to reach the armory, but time was of the essence. Carl didn't waste a second, yelling out to the rest of the group as they ran.
"RUN! ARMORY, HURRY! B-1x, STALL IT AND LOSE IT. HURRY AND MEET US AT THE ARMORY!"
They pushed themselves to run faster, adrenaline pumping through their veins as they tried to outrun the monstrous creature that had just appeared. Every step they took was filled with the fear of not knowing if they would make it to the armory in time, but they pushed on, driven by the determination to survive.
The doctor knew that his son, B-1x, was not an ordinary person anymore. He knew that his son could take on this creature, but every fiber of his being wanted to stay by his side. Despite this, he was dragged away by Carl, like a ragdoll, as he yelled out, "We will be waiting for you."
B-1x had been dealing with this type of situation in battle simulations for the past several months. This was nothing new to him. He listened to the doctor's words and took one final look at him, and for a split second, a genuine smile appeared on his face. But then, just as quickly, he shifted his focus and prepared to take on the bear-like creature. He was determined, confident and ready for the fight, knowing that his training and experience would help him overcome this challenge.
The monstrous abomination made a battle-ready stance and let out an inhuman howling sound that could be heard throughout the entire floor. It leaped into the air, using its massive 12-foot-long arms like poles, and plunged towards B-1x.
"SHEEAAKK SHSSSHH"
The sound of its attack was deafening, a blood-curdling screech that echoed through the room. But B-1x was not intimidated, his incredible speed and agility allowed him to dart out of the way of the beast's strike, dodging it with ease and making strong waves as he did so.
As the creature descended from the air, B-1x was already moving, running towards the beast with incredible speed. He was focused, determined, and ready for the fight of his life, knowing that every second counted and he needed to defeat the creature before it could harm anyone else.
"You want me, come and get me!" B-1x taunted, his eyes locked onto the creature.
The abomination let out a deafening roar and charged towards B-1x, its massive arms were outstretched. B-1x sidestepped and delivered a swift punch to its gut, "HHAAA" he shouted.
His hand was badly hurt, the skin was covered in spikes and it was bleeding profusely, but B-1x didn't let that slow him down. He was very familiar with his body now, and knew that he had superhuman stats that allowed him to survive encounters with 50ft monsters in simulations. The guns were a major help as well, but he had been trained in hybrid martial arts, combining the best aspects of all martial arts in the world.
The bear-like thing was hit with incredible force, launching its huge body a little in the air. B-1x quickly positioned himself below the creature and used his hands without hesitation. He executed a judo move, Ippon seoi nage, a single arm shoulder throw using the opponent's momentum. With all the power he could muster, B-1x slammed the bear-like thing into reinforced concrete.
The impact was devastating, the reinforced concrete cracked and crumbled under the force of the blow,
“BOOOOOOOOM”
B-1x didn't waste any time, he knew that he needed to take out the creature quickly and decisively. He twisted and turned the creature's right arm, trying to rip it off with dangerous moves, precise positioning, and brute force. The sounds of squishing, cracking, and tearing filled the air as he succeeded in ripping off a part of the arm.
“SQUISH, CRACK, GRUPP”
He focused for a moment, before plunging the arm straight into the glowing rock-like object in the creature's body. A loud screech echoed through the hallways as the creature's screams filled the air.
Covered in blood, B-1x ran towards the armory. He had always seen it when he was given live rounds for training on other floors. They were always in the same place for simplicity's sake. He knew that he needed to get there quickly and arm himself before the creature could recover. He pushed himself to run faster, his mind focused on survival and the need to protect himself and others.
