Chapter 16: Looking for Prototype

[Scott's Pov]

"Will you be alright?" Puro asked me as I slowly stood up from the grass. He recently just tended to me and my wound on my abdomen. "I will be fine. We can't really have a time to rest now. Prima is on the loose, and our Prototype has gone missing." I looked down on my abdomen and found the wound covered with the gauze bandage wrapped around my abdomen. The scratch stings, but we must not rest now. I looked at Puro and see Doctor K now standing beside him. I can see the worry of Doctor K on his face, despite the gas mask covering his muzzle.

I remembered the two asking me about why the blood that came out of my wound is green. I honestly don't know how to answer. It is either every Protogen has a green colored blood, or each Protogen has their own unique blood color. I have not gotten myself a cut before to know that I have a green blood. I'm honestly surprised myself. "How is Colin? He got scratched from the commotion from an hour ago." Just as I asked, the white wolf stepped close to the black wolf.

Colin gave me a warm smile despite the wound he got from the fight of Prima and Puro. His wound is now covered with a gauze pad. "Human is okay now. Human is scared from the rubbing alcohol earlier while I'm treating his wounds." The black wolf chuckled, and the white wolf began to comically tear up. Puro immediately turned to look at Colin. "Maybe not scared! The rubbing alcohol does hurt when you put it on open wounds. Human did great against the rubbing alcohol though."

Doctor K and I chuckled on the sight, and the white wolf is back to his calm self. "Let us not waste anymore time. We have to search for the Prototype. The Prototype hasn't returned yet ever since Prima went rogue, and the Prototype usually turns up around this time." Doctor K stated and the black wolf quickly held the left paw of the white wolf with his right paw, and Puro immediately hopped across the window. I saw Colin's surprised face before he followed Puro. Puro appeared to be in a hurry. "We will check this way! The other side is scary!" Just like that, the two are off in their little journey to find the Prototype.

I looked at Doctor K and he is already walking towards the window to hop across it. He looked at me first, and then glanced below me. He probably noticed my wounds on my abdomen, and I will be having troubles on getting across the window. "Are you sure you want to tag along with me? I advise you to stay to get some rest and heal up. I can go look for the Prototype on my own." I shook my head and I slowly approached him. "I don't want to leave your side, K. I want to experience this journey with you."

"This window says no. Just kidding! We can just open the door from the garden, because you locked it yourself. Funny enough, you put duct tape on the gap in between the door and the frame. I removed it because I thought we were going to use the door, but we used the broken down window instead. Can you unlock the door?" We are standing in front of the garden room door, and I gave him a nod. I kneeled down on the grass and opened a small panel just below the button beside the door.

The panel broke, and it fell off rather than swinging open. Behind the panel is a lever, and I reached my right paw to pull the lever. The door immediately slid open, and I stood up the grass. I felt a par on my right shoulder. I looked to my right and noticed it is Doctor K's paw. "I did not know that panel is there, and good job. Let's go now, shall we?" We stepped out of the garden and into the hallway. Doctor K took the lead, and I followed him behind.

Not far from the garden, I saw Puro running towards us. Puro stood in front of us, and he points towards the direction he came from with his left paw. The black wolf is panting from his running marathon. "We found the Prototype in the room where Behemoth is. The Behemoth won't let us pass though. Follow me." Puro turned around and started running again. Doctor K remained standing however, and he walked instead. I followed him behind, curious to what his motives are. "Won't you run after him, K?" I asked and he looked at me as we walk forward.

"You are injured, and you can't run with me. I can't just leave you behind." He then returns his gaze towards the hallway, occasionally taking glances at me. What a true friend. I wish we are further than friends. Doctor K took a glance at me before stopping in place. "Scott, your visor is showing you with heart shaped eyes, and you are smiling." I immediately felt my visor heat up in realization. My visor also reacts to my thoughts! It projected my thoughts of him! Doctor K chuckled at me and he began to walk again.

I can't help but notice my tail wagging side to side uncontrollably. Why must my visor betray me. I now imagine it showing a crying Protogen. We eventually arrived at the room of the Behemoth, and I see Puro standing by the door and Colin sitting on the floor of white latex. The Prototype can be seen standing in front of the white wolf. The Prototype is inactive, and two white latex beasts in each side of the Prototype is holding it up to make it stand. Colin is examining the unconscious and inactive Prototype, and he is somehow calm despite the menacing two white faceless latex beasts.

Colin carried the Prototype on his arms before turning around and giving us a surprised look. Puro rushed to help the white wolf carry the Prototype. Prototype acquired successfully.
