Clone

The Plan to Take Down the Ruling Elite

The rebellion carefully chooses its targets, striking government buildings and facilities at night, when the guards are at their lowest. Rine uses her powers to slip past security undetected, gathering crucial information and evidence of the cloning program's abuses. The group's adrenaline is pumping as they race against the clock, knowing that they must act fast before the government catches on to their plans.

As they travel through empty streets and abandoned buildings, dodging pedestrians and vehicles alike, they slowly move deeper into the heart of the city and into the center of the city. Rine stops abruptly when she sees something that causes her jaw to drop. Her heart leaps into her throat as she watches an armored truck with armed soldiers and officers speeding down the road towards the group. "We have to hide," she whispers urgently. "We can't let this car chase us!" Without waiting for a response, Rine turns and sprints away.

"Wait! Don't run!" calls out Jack.

"I've got to get you guys somewhere safe!" shouts Ruby Rose. "That car's coming right at us."

"Get out of here!" bellows Rine, looking back to see that the truck is now only meters away.

Her companions hesitate for a moment, unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, several black vans emerge from the darkness, and five heavily armed troopers leap out of the windows and rush forward, pointing their guns directly at the retreating group.

"Don't shoot! We're just trying to leave!" cries Ruby.

"Drop your weapons! Now!" screams a man from the lead van, his eyes blazing with rage. His face is covered in a thin layer of sweat, as he continues his approach to the group. Behind him walk ten more men with automatic rifles slung across their shoulders, all pointing their guns at the group.

Rine lets out a loud cry of frustration and charges forward toward the closest of the three cars. Her hands glow with a brilliant blue light, and a wall appears in front of her, creating a barricade that prevents the approaching troopers from moving forward.

With their momentum slowed by their surprise, the group regroup quickly. Before any of the guards can react, they find themselves surrounded by a ring of fire. One of the troopers fires a single shot, but it goes wide.

"Zheet!" yells one of the men as another trooper pulls the trigger of his weapon, hitting the woman behind him in the thigh. "Move! I said move!" With a grunt of pain, the injured woman pushes past him and runs, dragging her injured leg.

"They have some kind of barrier up. Let me try!" says the man next to the wounded woman, turning and running after her. Two troopers are close behind him.

"No! You'll get yourself killed!" protests another soldier, running after them both.

"Hey!" snaps the second man as they pass, reaching out to grab the first trooper's arm. "You won't touch him. He belongs to me." The injured woman tries to hold him back as he approaches her, but it proves useless. With two punches and a kick, the man easily knocks the injured woman unconscious, then grabs the struggling trooper by the collar and drags him backwards into the building behind him. Moments later the remaining trooper runs into the building, followed closely by several others who were still standing around the fallen woman and her companion.

Ava looks desperately around and notices a nearby door which she opens, pushing herself inside. She quickly shuts and locks the door, leaning back against it to catch her breath. She leans against the side of the door for support while staring at the unconscious woman. "How are we supposed to escape this?" mutters Ava as she surveys the tiny room and narrow walls that surround her. Her gaze travels from one end of the small, square room to the other. On the opposite end of the room from her sits an open doorway leading into what looks like a hallway, with a single flight of stairs leading upwards.
