Hacker's Euphoria

Chapter 16 - The Quiet Route

After they all discussed the plan Sasha follows closely behind Virus. ' ' 𝙐𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙, 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜. 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨. ' ' The taller female stood off to the side and opens the door leading to a small room with a matress and a desk in it.

' ' Right. Thanks Virus ' ' She walks inside closing the door behind her, a small nervous sigh leaves her lips as she rubs the back of her neck. She lays down against the matress and slowly closed her eyes.

Once the moon shines down upon the city the four members started to quietly sneak towards the back of the warehouse

' ' 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕. 𝑾𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. 𝑨.𝑪.𝑬 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 ' '

' ' 𝚁𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝙰𝚠𝚊𝚢, 𝚂𝚒𝚛 ' ' Ace picks up a small shard of glass, holding it to make the lights from above reflect off and towards the others.

' ' So. . .how long do we think it's gonna take for them to- ' '

Suddenly a large bang echoed out from the front sounding the alarms almost immedately

' ' 𝙉𝙤𝙬. ' ' Virus stood infront of a holographic panel she was working on, once she was finished the back door unlocks as the hologram vanished. ' ' 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚. 𝙉𝙤𝙬 ' '

Without a second thought the four of them rushed into the back closing the door silently behind them. ' ' Right. So now what do we do ? ' '

Virus used her katana to pop open one of the tops of a crate, tapping her finger against her chin as she searched through it. ' ' 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙝. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚'𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙗 𝙖 𝙗𝙤𝙭 ' ' Virus put the top back on the crate, grabbing ahold of the bottom and lifting the box up onto her shoulder.

Julian started to shift through the boxes, soon picking one up that he was strong enough to carry. He looks over to Ace who was happily carrying two boxes in his arms. ' ' 𝑨𝒉- 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒐𝒇𝒇 ' ' He looks off to the side with a frown.

Ace smiles as they started to spin around with happy beeps and boops escaping from their speakers.

' ' 𝘼𝙘𝙚. 𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣. 𝙒𝙚'𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 ? ' '

' ' 𝙾𝚘𝚙𝚜. 𝙸'𝚖 𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚜 𝚅𝚒𝚛𝚞𝚜. ' '

The group then went back to silently searching for what seemed like minutes passing by.

While Sasha was searching, she froze looking at one of the boxes. This box in particular was. . .Gigantic. She remains silent for a moment as she started brushing away at the dust that had covered the note infront of it.

The note read: 'For My Dearest Daughter Sasha.'

Sasha remained silent as she backs away from the box.

' ' guys. . .he knows. . . ' '

' ' 𝙃𝙢 ? 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 ? ' '

Suddenly a large hand breaks out from the box and starts to tear away at the wood surrounding it.

' ' MY DAD KNOWS ! ' '

Suddenly a large robot breaks out from the box staring down at the group. ' ' 𝓝𝓸𝔀 𝓷𝓸𝔀 𝓢𝓪𝓼𝓱𝓪. 𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓰𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓫𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓪 𝓽𝓸 𝓽𝓻𝔂 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓪𝓵 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓯𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 ? ' '

' ' SHUT IT ! ' ' Her gun forms in her hand as she shoots out one of the speakers against the throat of the robot, it caused a distorted roar as it started pushing boxes to the side to get at the group infront of it.

' ' EVERYONE GET A BOX AND MOVE IT ! ' '

Meanwhile on the outside. . .

Suddenly the back door bursts open as the four other members were running with crates full of supplies.

' ' RUN ! WE NEED TO RUN NOW ! ! ' ' Sasha cried out as she threw her box to A.C.E for them to carry.

' ' 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 ? 𝐖𝐡𝐲 ? ' '

Suddenly the back wall of the warehouse bursts open as a large mechanical suit throws the shelfs to the side reaching for the group.

' ' 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻'𝑺 𝑭𝑼𝑪𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑾𝑯𝒀 𝑵𝑶𝑾 𝑯𝑨𝑼𝑳 𝑨𝑺𝑺 ! ' '

The four infront started to back away, Lucas put Viper back in his hood as he grabs ahold of Sirus' hand and starts running.

Sirus simply made a small squeak as she followed behind him.

' EVERYONE MAKE IT BACK TO THE EXTRACTION POINT ! HOW MANY CRATES DO WE HAVE ! ? '

' ' 𝚆𝙴 𝙷𝙰𝚅𝙴 𝙰𝙿𝙿𝚁𝙾𝚇𝙸𝙼𝙰𝚃𝙴𝙻𝚈 𝟼 𝙲𝚁𝙰𝚃𝙴𝚂 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝚃𝙷 𝙾𝙵 𝙼𝙴𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙽𝙸𝙲𝙰𝙻 𝙿𝙰𝚁𝚃𝚂 𝙸𝙵 𝚆𝙴 𝙳𝙾 𝙽𝙾𝚃 𝙳𝚁𝙾𝙿 𝙰𝙽𝚈 ! ' '

The large suit bursts out from the warehouse, holding it's arms out with cannons slowly charging.

' MAKOTO GET US OUT OF HERE ! USE THE PROTOTYPE IF YOU HAVE TO JUST DO IT DAMNIT ! '

Suddenly Mask turned into small cubes floating up into the air. Then one by one the others followed suit along with the crates just as the suit fired two large shots into the ground destroying the road and any nearby furniture.

Back at the base the group slowly reform, falling to the ground as the crates appear infront of them.

' ' Tᴇʟᴇᴘᴏʀᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴏᴛʏᴘᴇ sᴜᴄᴄᴇssꜰᴜʟ. ᴀᴅᴅɪɴɢ ᴘᴏsɪᴛɪᴠᴇ ʀᴇsᴜʟᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴀᴛᴀʙᴀsᴇ ' '

. . .

Everyone looked at Sasha as she retold what happened. . .

' How the hell did he know where we were going ?. . . ' he looked towards the group with a frown under the mask. ' Someone here told him where we were going. Either that or someone has a tracker on them '

' ' 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚. 𝙉𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢, 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧. ' '

' ' 𝗦𝗼. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝘀 ! ' '

' ' Look we'll figure out who the rat is later. Right now let's put away the haul we braught. ' '

They all remained silent looking at each other. Soon Mask sighs and nods. ' Sasha's right. We'll worry about this later. Right now let's just make sure we got the right shit to begin with. Everyone just make sure you stay safe. We'll talk more about this later. '

Sirus smiles and wraps her arms around Lucas'. ' ' і𝖿 ᥲᥒᥡ᥆ᥒᥱ ᥒᥱᥱძs mᥱ і'ᥣᥣ ᑲᥱ ᥕі𝗍һ 𝗍һіs ᥴᥙ𝗍іᥱ ~ ' ' She let out a small giggle.

Lucas looks down at her, rolling his eyes as he walks to the room he was given.

Sirus simply hums to herself, her eyes glitching ever so slightly.
