Connor: Part 1

156

Entering the factory, Connor walks around, machete in hand. Wondering the building, Connor couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Before long, Connor got to the main office of the factory, looking around for clues...the girl has to be here, her scent said she was. Just then, Connor heard a ding from behind him. Turning to a shelf, Connor saw a faint glow from the behind it. Approaching it, Connor moved the shelf and saw that behind it was an elevator, with the words saying B3, meaning who used it went to the third basement.

Opening the gate that separates Connor from the inside of the elevator, Connor walked inside and looks at the buttons, seeing that there was just three, meaning there isn't more then three basements. Pressing the button for the third basement, Connor waits for the floor to come. Upon the end of the ride, the door opens and Connor exits, stopping in place. In front of him was a bed of flowers that were red and black, also made out of the bio mass of the virus and the girl was laying in the centre of it. Connor looks at the girl as he approach, but stops when seeing something to the side.

Connor saw that on the side of the floor, there was a large window a good few feet up, almost too the roof of the floor he's on. "Hello boy...I see you are still alive." A voice spoke. Connor doesn't speak for a moment, but then ask the question he wanted to know. "What is with the girl? Why is her heart made of the bio mass of the virus?" Asked Connor. There was a moment of silence before he spoke. "The girls healing somehow malfunctioned and she developed her mothers heart disease that was gonna kill her a month from now...her father did everything for her and one day, found something...it was a virus core that was in the shape of a heart...putting it into her, the girl is alive, but that's not all." The man spoke. Connor turns to the girl as the man continues.

"The other virus don't seem to acknowledge her, as if she's seen as one of them, not to mention that she seems to have some sort of ability to tame them." Said the man. "Then what is your purpose for bringing her here?" Asked Connor. "Look at her chest." Said the man. Connor was hesitant but does so, only to see a flower blooming on her chest, same as the others. "I have seen flowers grow on specific hosts of the virus, I believe it's making plant based fungi that can spread the virus, some even making spores that infected the other hosts." Said the man. "So this is a version of the virus that uses hosts to make flowers made of the virus...the flowers must be to spread the virus though spores...I need to stop it." Connor mutters.

Connor approaches the girl, only for his instinct to kick in, making him jump to the side as he dodge a red and black vine. Connor turns to see the flowers growing and making vines. "This fucking thing gets weirder and weirder..." Connor mutters. The flowers make vines lunge at Connor, attempting to attack him. Connor did his best to dodge as he also use the machete to cut the vines. This continue for several minutes before Connor got to the flowers and stab them. He knew the weapon can't hurt the core, but by stabbing the heads, which has to be where the core is, Connor can just reach into the wound to cut off the had and stomp on it till it dies. As Connor thought, the core was in the plant head and after destroying the core or its entire head, Connor killed many of the plants.

"No! Stop! What are you doing?!" Yelled The man. "Saving the world from this shit and a psycho like you!" Yelled Connor, finishing off the plants. With all the plants dead, Connor makes his way to the girl. Just then, Connor felt something go through his stomach as he was stabbed. Looking down, Connor saw the vine of the flower in the girls chest, piercing Connor's stomach. "Fuck." Connor blankly said. The vine then toss Connor across the area and into a wall, snapping his neck and died. Connor revives seconds later as he grunts, getting up as he looks at the thing that attacked, seeing that the flower that was on her chest was growing and making the vines as well.

Using the nanobot, Connor saw that the core of the flower wasn't in the head, instead the girls heart. Connor makes a growl, realising the thing is making it difficult. Taking a breath, Connor got up, looking down before turning to the window...he has an idea. Connor flew to the window and smash through it, revealing the man who was talking to him. The man had gray hair with blue eyes, looking horrified. "I seriously do not get why fucks like you want this virus to spread...what the fuck do you gain?" Asked Connor.
