Operation: A Death Wish (A FangBoy FF)

Chapter 12

Kaizo heard eletric arcs by the door.

He is immediately on high alert. Didn't those people just leave? Why are they coming back?

Kaizo slowly backed into the closet, closing the door slowly. There are voices outside, possibly on some voice transmitting device. Kaizo can't exactly make out what they're talking about, but he wasn't at all interested either.

With the piece of jade in his mouth, he closed his eyes.

The electric arcs stopped. The person said something in a serious tone, though their voice are still not loud enough for Kaizo. He could only stay still in the closet, doing his very best to regulate his breathing.

"Fang! Get out of there!"

Kaizo's eyes shot open. He would recognize that voice anywhere, even if it comes through a transceiver. 

But more importantly, Fang is here?

The other side of the door seem to be in chaos. Something with a robotic voice screamed, "Go go go!" followed by the sound of footsteps running down the hallway. Not long after, metal scrapping and laughter sounded opposite to where the prior footsteps went.

The voice Kaizo recognize. He has seen this man on one occasion when Sanguine was giving a speech, or rather, threatening the mercenaries again. One of the mercenaries tried to bail, and Sanguine sent this man at them.

As soon as the mercenary look back, two scythes made of black iron pierced his eyes, then sliced them into three parts from eye sockets down. It was hella messy, and a lot of mercenaries wet their pants that day.

No one tried to run after that.

If Fang is indeed here, and this man is pursuing Fang...

Kaizo bursted out of the closet, then proceed to lost his balance and fell. He has forgotted the fatigue in his leg for a moment.

He need to get to Fang, there's no way Fang can escape that man.

He pulled himself to his feet with one of the crutches, replacing the piece of jade back in the safety of his shirt. Just then, a low whump sounded down the hallway, accompanied by a door closing.

Kaizo froze in place. There are voices down the hallway, though the speakers doesn't seem to come close. Slowly, Kaizo inched towards the door, another crutch ready for striking in his free hand. 

Scraping metal sounded again, this time stopping in front of Kaizo's door. Kaizo now has no time to hide; scrambling back to the closet would make too much noise.

The door swung open, and Kaizo swung the crutch at the approximate height of a head. The target ducked, although due to its height it don't have to.

"Ochobot?" Kaizo widened his eyes in suprise. He'd expected Fang, Boboiboy and the gang maybe, but the Powersphere showing up in a war zone is on the last of his list. Not to mention Ochobot is carrying a scythe belonging to the crazy man from earlier.

"How's it hanging up?" Ochobot's pixelated eyes glanced at Kaizo's leg. 

"Hasn't spreaded to the knees yet; mostly able to still walk."Kaizo reported instinctively.

Ochobot clicked its non-existent tongue. "We need to at least step up your mobility. There's a lot of people to save."

Leaning the scythe by the door, Ochobot glided past Kaizo and started to turn the lab upside down. Kaizo can't help but feel the aura the Powersphere is emmitting is very similar to someone he knew. But he can't quite put his finger on the person.
