“WARNING! WARNING! LOCKDOWN CONTAINMENT PROCEDURE FAILD! PLEASE EVACUATE TO THE LIFE BOATS IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL… THIS IS NOT A DRILL…” A robotic woman’s voice echoed though the oval blood stained hallways, torn apart, smoldering, and pieces of corpses of soldiers, scientists, and drones littered the once sterile and pristine white walls, floor, and ceilings accented by dents, blast marks, and partially melted portions of the walls, ceiling, and floor.
Amidst the massacre and destruction an extremely out of place girl was casually strolling through the hall, dressed in a richly adorned backless white, violet, and purple Lolita-styled dress with matching semi platform boots, the platforms resembling fanged skulls and the bottoms ending in relative large metallic spikes, now stained with blood. She had fingerless gloves that ended half way up her forearms. She accentuated the outfit with a large violet colored hair bow and a large violet bow at the small of her back on her dress, with the centers being fanged skulls, a collar, and earrings, all with the same fanged skull designs on them and a matching violet and purple colored parasol. The girl was a very attractive young teenage girl of medium height and a small-ish frame. She has long blonde hair, styled into pigtails ending in large curls that hang to the middle of her thighs, with smaller locks framing her face. Her eyes are a sapphire blue, that are currently glowing a faint fading cyan.
The girl looked around at the bodies and wreckage as she walked past them she dangled her parasol carelessly in her hands until she was stopped in front of a heavy blastdoor, the red LEDs on them indicated it was locked, like all the others. With a smile the girl raised her parasol to the door and end point touched the surface of the door. The sound of a loud mechanical revving noise came out of the parasol as each section of the parasol detached from each other rotating slowly around the center in perfect unison as a blindingly bright cyan light came from the entire center shaft of the parasol which reveal extremely intricate, almost alien, circuitry that emitted the light. The speed of the revving noise did not match with the speed of the rotating parasol section at all, the noise being much, much faster.
BOOM!
With a flash like a camera, the rectangular blast door had been almost completely melted away with only the far left and right bits of metal still being intact. With the sections of the parasol still apart, the girl whipped the parasol out to her right and it released six empty smoldering shells that resembled metal shotgun shells. They clinked and clanged on the floor before settling down, leaving slight burn marks where they had touched the floor. The panels of the parasol closed and the device went back to looking like a completely normal parasol again. Before she stepped through the door she pointed her parasol into the room again and it shot a bolt of bright cyan energy, the heat of the blast distorted the air around it. The cyan bolt of energy surged through the room discharge countless bolts of electricity to every surface before it exploded in the center of the circular room sending out a powerful EMP shockwave knocking out all the lights, speakers, automated defense systems, and laser grid systems.
The girl stepped though the now darkened room, still with a smile on her face, she could hear the thumping of hurried footsteps some getting closer while others further away. She looked around the room, it was circular and boring like all the others, there were three other doors in the room other than the one she entered from. As expected they were all sealed. A steady hissing came from the door to her left as the hydraulic locks were manually released. The blast doors opened with heavy metal creaking and moaning. As soon as there was a clearing, the sounds of automatic weaponry open fired on her. With instantaneous twitch reflexes she had her parasol opened and blocking the shots from the automatic high caliber gun shots, each shot stopped millimeters away from actually making contact with the surface of the parasol. Each impact made a small visible ripple across a hexagonal patterned surface that only appeared when impacted. From the underside of the parasol, the girl can see everything, it was transparent with a heads-up-display that showed her all the information she ever needed. With a slight alteration of her grip of the parasol’s handle, the tip of her parasol fired what looked like photography flash along with a large bolt of lightning into the open door. The sound of surging electricity reverberated the room as the smoke cleared from the door way. What was left was a fine red mist in the air of the doorway, and the entire doorway chard black with bits of exploded and burnt flesh and blood dripping and dribbling down from the ceiling and walls. Visible foot prints were cleanly on the ground where the squad of soldiers once stood. The girl gave her parasol a playful twirl before collapsing back down. “Guess I’m going this way if that’s where people are pouring in from.” She put the parasol over her shoulder as she strode into the chard doorway paying no heed to the piles of burnt flesh around her.
The emergency lights had been activated guiding the halls to the escape pods, but the girl was not looking to escape. Along her way to her destination she encountered various security and military forces trying to stop her, but she dealt with them accordingly, never firing more than a single shot from her parasol. Those unlucky enough to survive were crushed beneath the spikes of her boots. As the girl made her way through the Advanced Genetic Research portion of the lab, she kicked down every door she could find, from offices, to bathrooms, to various labs. Alas she found the primary laboratory of the sector, and just as she expected the doors were locked. She put a foot firmly on it pushed. The force sent the mechanical door flying several feet into the room right off its sliding tracks. The door landed with a loud clang, accompanied by a yelp from a female scientist inside. As the girl stepped in she can her the scared sounds of human scurrying. She pointed her parasol and fired, a small bolt of energy shot out blowing the large lab table apart and sending it pieces flying along with a young female scientist still in her lab coat, now slightly chard and stained with her blood from the broken glass and possible burns from the shot. “I heard four of you in here, where’s the other three?” the asked while she walked towards the female scientist.
“NO! plea –“
BLAM!
The scientist’s head exploded into blood mist leaving a burnt stump of a neck and her lower jaw which flew into the wall behind her. “Useless…” the girl said under her breath, her eyes glazed over with boredom and unamused, then she turned around and spotted two of the other scientists. She looked further to the right and spotted the last one trying to escape.
Before the lone scientist could even react the girl suddenly appeared over him along with a sharp and very short whistle-like sound, grabbed him by the collar and threw him violently across the lab in the direction of the other two; he slammed into the wall next to them with a loud snap as his elbow shattered on impact. And just like before the girl suddenly appeared in front of the three scientists as if she teleported, again, accompanied with the short sharp whistle sound, the three of them were cowering, one was whimpering and trying to stifle his pain from the broken bone. Two men and one woman.
“What do you want from us Ani!” one of the male scientists asked.
Ani’s eyes casted down on him, a cold and calculating stare with a drop of instability and a dash of insanity. “I’m glad you asked!” Ani said with a wide smile, “I am looking for a Dr. WInterfall, anyone of you people know where he is? There were rumors of him being on the Moon Bases, but as you can see, I’ve gone through Alpha and Beta with no luck. So the next words out of your mouths better be where Dr. Winterfall is.” She looked at all three scientists expectantly.
“What do yo –“
BAM!
The man who recognized Ani fell over onto his side, his neck and lower jaw was gone and on the wall behind his neck was a bloody scorch mark. The top half of the man’s head rolled onto the floor nearby. The remaining two scientists were startled by the sound of the shot and jolted when they heard it.
Ani looked at the two remaining scientists with the same expectant look. The remaining man with the shattered elbow averted her gaze while the woman stared at her with anger, fear, and hatred. With a thin smile on her lips Ani met the angry scientist’s gaze. “Come on now, chose your next words carefully….” Ani squatted down to be eye level with the scientist.
“What are you doing? Purge the place and get back down here, we got a hint of where he is.” A voice spoke in Ani’s earpiece.
Ani frowned, “Well maybe I can get some info too and we can compare, for accuracy purposes?”
“Fine, whatever, just hurry up or you’re going to miss your window. The primary comms. tower just blew up on this island, by someone so that’s another reason to leave before too many annoyances arrive.”
Ani smiled and refocused her attention on the scientist. “So where were we…? Oh yea, Where is Dr. WInterfall?”
The scientist sighed, “The last I heard Dr.Winterfall was heading a new project in the Antarctic research facility. He left here three months ago.”
“Now, was that so hard? I don’t understand why you people throw away your lives the way they do…” Ani reached down into the front of her dress as she stood up, pulling out a baseball-sized reflective black sphere with a singular button on it, “Or maybe they are just sick of being disgusting.” Ani pressed the button on the sphere and tossed it over her shoulder. It landed on the sterile ground with a sharp metallic TINK! And bounced a few more times before it began rolling.
Ani left the room and began making her way to the nearest wall that would lead her out onto the surface. She simply started walking in a straight line to what she believed to be the proper direction and started blasting through walls one after another. It would seem that most of the personnel have already evacuated, they had given up in the attempt to stop her with force. Ani pouted slightly when she saw there was no life pods left. She shrugged and pointed her parasol at the air lock of where the life pod attached and blew it open. The vacuum of space immediately began sucking everything out into space. The sirens of the building were now going even more insane than ever as all of its failsafe began failing as the blast door it was trying to close to seal the area was already closed, but had a huge melted hole in it. The vacuum caused Ani’s dress to fly around widely along with her hair, but strangely Ani stood steadfast, seemingly unaffected by the suction. She was looking up and out at the orbiting earth searching for her landing spot. Once she spotted it, she knelt down and jumped out of the building in a single powerful bound that shattered the ground beneath her feet from where she took off.
Behind Ani, the Moon base was suddenly engulfed in a dome of light violet light for a few seconds before it vanished leaving nothing but another crater in the moon where the base used to be. Ani was very rapidly approaching the earth, her reentry caused her to flare up into a ball of fire as she began penetrating the outer most layers of the earth’s atmosphere.
Aerona was sitting against a lone tree on the top of a grassy hill on one end of the island almost directly across from the communications tower. She watched un- empathetically as the towers collapsed. Maybe those two stupid ‘heroes’ died in there… Aerona thought, she looked to the sky sensing that Ani was getting nearer. “Finally… come on Zoey lets go get Ani and get the hell out of here.” Aerona stood up and began walking down the hill at a leisurely pace towards the city.
An odd looking floating girl with long white hair followed behind Aerona, paying no attention to her, she was focused on a device floating in between her hands. It resembled the same baseball sized sphere Ani had used on the Moon base, but this one was exploded into millions pieces like a diagram in an instruction manual, perfectly spaced out for its final assembly as parts slowly faded and flashed into existence and placed themselves into place, by the looks of it, it seemed near completion.
High overhead a ball of fire was rabidly descending to the city on the island, still several miles away.
