Now it's just wait...
- Where's the bald guy? - Helior asks.
- He couldn't come today, so I'll do the payment - Henrietta replies.
- Right - he puts his Gizmo against hers, then throws the black bag on the floor and walks away though the same door he entered. Rude...
Henrietta goes to the computer and clicks on something and the metallic arms on the ceiling take the person out of the bag and put her on the chair. It's a very eccentric girl, she has very big, black and neon purple pigtails, just like her clothes and her mask. Her skin is a bit lighter than mine and she has a skirt made out of ammunition to plasma guns.
She seems very quiet, too quiet, almost dead... Henrietta comes closer to her, examining her curiously.
- Is she dead..? - she mumbles - I told that piece of shit I needed them alive...
Then out of nowhere, the girl opens her eyes, free herself from the ropes very quickly and attacks Henrietta, choking her. The scientist screams and try to free herself by kicking the girl's legs and clicks on something on her Gizmo and some robots hidden on some dark corner of the room get turned on and go grab the girl by her arms and pull her away from Van Helsing.
- You disgusting vampire! - the woman in a coat shouts angrily - you all filthy creatures should be exterminated from the Earth!
That's very wrong in so many levels...
- You bitch... - the girl says with a robotic and artificial voice as she kicks their heads and they fall on the ground. That girl is so shocking strong!
The girl in neon purple grabs one arm of each robot with each of her hands and throws them away: One almost hits Henrietta, but she throws herself on the ground to dodge the attack so the robot hits the computer instead, which starts to bug. The other one is thrown against that machine... And it turns on... Oh shock... If it exploded once it was in perfect stage, imagine now..!
The robotic arms on the ceiling start to do some weird movements until they grab both Van Helsing and the girl and drag them to that machine, they try to fight back but the arms throw them inside the capsule... And the machine starts running something... And it seems not very stable, like it's about to explode... I need to get out of here, I can't do much about them without making everything worse or dying... Or they catching me...
I crowl out of there though the ventilation and the elevator staff until I reach her lab, I hear some very low sound coming from the underground... There's nothing I can do now... I just came there to put something in the big machine to make the enzymes not effective as they supposed to, and I saw two people probably dying... And why did they put that machine there in the first place? It was a horrible decision, but I couldn't expect less from Ty. I need to check there as well, but not alone...
I turn on my Gizmo and text Selene:
- Selene, you need to come to Alchemax right now? Some disaster happened with Van Helsing, a vampire and that machine which turned me into Spider-Man. No further details, I just need you here to check on some things.
It takes about 5 long minutes until she replies:
- Oh, ok. I'll be there in your lab in a few minutes.
- Ok.
I run trowards my lab. This scheme ends today.* * *
- Pookie..? - I say as I slowly come put of the mirror.
- Hey... - he comes from the shadows and extends his hand to be, I grab it and he helps me stand up - let's go...
I nod and we walk out of his lab, trowards Henrietta's, we do the same process of crawling down the elevator staff until we reach the ventilation system and crawl until the end. I feel a horrible smell of blood and wet and hot metal... It must be part of that accident... We reach the end, everything is completely dark, and I hear some flapping wings and eating noises, whoever is eating must me really enjoying it.
I poke Miguel's leg, he's very tense... He says though telepathy, very disturbed:
- Something very, very bad happened, very, very bad...
- What happened..? - I think.
- When Van Helsing and that vampire got into that machine, it somehow worked to fuse them both into one creature, plus others DNAs tracked in the system...
- I see why it's so bad... How did she turn out..?
- A creature part human, probably bat and snake together... A very barbarous and animalistic being... Who will eat whoever is in their way...
- That explains the eating noise... Who is she eating..?
- H-helior...
- Oh shit... Do you have any plan, smart-ass?
- Hold on...
I hear the sound of something moving and then door opens, and some soft and low light inviting the room, I can see a silhouette, and a voice just like Don's calls:
- Minji? Where are you? Why are you here? Minji! - he pauses a bit disturbed and the door closes again, the room stays in completely darkness again, and I can hear him using his echolocation until some very abrupt noise interrupts.
- Well, well well... - I hear Henrietta's voice, but it's somehow different, more monstrous and imponent - look who we have here...
- W-what are you..? - he asks scared - w-where's Minji..?!
- You're looking at her, Vito...
- No... You're not her...
- Let's say we're two people shearing the same mind and body...
- Minji, if you're inside of this monster, please let me go, you wouldn't kill the person who gave you shelter, food and money when your parents weren't even considered people by this nation, right..?
She doesn't say anything, I just heard some metal moving and Don screaming in pain. I tap on Miguel's leg again and he says though telepathy:
- She hung him on one of those robotic arms like a hook by his jaw... Just like a fish...
- Oh shit... - I think.
- Be a good boy while we decide what we'll do with you - Van Helsing says and goes back eating, probably Helior.
- I have a plan - Miguel says though telepathy - you can distract her while I come from behind and try to leave her unconscious... Any other ideas?
- Is she big? - I think.
- Almost 8 feet, I think...
- How many meters are 8 feet?
- 2,5 meters.
- Damn..! I can try to throw things on her and teleport around...
- That sounds like a plan, now you do your part and I'll follow suit... Good luck...
- Thank you...
I take a deep breath and teleport to the dark room, behind that broken machine which caused this accident, I use the echolocation to see things more clearly. The person hanged on the celling is actually Don, dripping a lot of blood form his mouth, and the monster is a tall human with a long snake tail insted of legs, big bat wings, horns and sharp claws on her hands. Her hair seems different, like a different texture, it's a middle term between wavy and curly now. But I don't have time to analyze her new hair texture.
I create a gun and shoot on her tail, but the bullet doesn't penetrate the scales, they're intact..! The creature turns trowards where I'm hiding, her red eyes glow in the dark with an animalistic aura, almost like a demon thirsty for blood. I teleport to behind that other machine which Van Helsing used to get what she needed to do the serum, while her monstrous form examinates the other machine. It's like I'm a mouse hiding from a cat, her, it's a bit terrifying I may say... And the bullets may not kill her, but will make a good distraction.
She turns around very pissed pissed, this time I try to shoot her in the eye, but the bullet hits her wing. Shit! She turns around and says loudly and angrily:
- Who is there?! Is it you, O'Hara? You shitty pervert!
- Don't you dare to call him that! You monster! - I shout angrily. Not my precious boy, you shitty eugenicist!
- Who's there?! - she sniffs the air and go trowards where I'm hiding, I teleport to behind the other machine again as she throws the machine she used to get the serum raw material on the floor, looking for me - you filthy vampire...
Then Miguel jumps from the ceiling on her back, warping some webs around her neck like reins, she groans and start to flap her wings very fast so she can get rid of him, bur he keeps hir feet firm against her back and pulls her behind with the webs like a horse. THAT'S MY MAN!
But then he uses her sharp claws to get rid of the webs and Miguel falls behind, she turns trowards him and pins him by his neck on the ground with the claws on the tip of the wings. She mumbles angrily:
- Spider-Man... You're such a fool for coming here...
- Hold on, monter lady! - I stand up and shout, shooting her wings, she frees Miguel and goes after me as her wing heals itself.
- You're as fool as him! - she shouts furious - and it isn't monster lady, it's Gorgon!
- Same shit... - I mumble.
- You have no culture! - she oposses loudly as I teleport away to end up in front of Helior's torned apart corpse.
- Greek Mythology isn't the only culture in the world, did you know that? - Miguel shouts sarcastically from the ceiling above me.
- I'll make you both shut the fuck up forever! - she turns to us and crawls trowards us, Miguel runs away and I teleport to above and hold onto the metallic arm which Costello is hanged, she turns back to us again and does the same thing, we both get away and, accidentally, one of the sharp tips of one of her wings perfuses Don's chest and he starts bleeding more.
Damn, she's almost invincible... And it's harder to fight in the dark. Wait...
- Hey! - I shout to Miguel, he looks at me as we run away from the monster's attack - does your Gizmo has a lantern?
- You wanna do with her like they did with vampires in those movies?
- You read my mind... - I say, he chuckles lightly and turns on his Gizmo.
A bright white light comes out of his watch, he turns it to the creature and she cover her eyes, rolling in pain on the ground. She screams in pain, begging to stop. I have her in a vulnerable state, however, I think death isn't the solution... She killed, but would death be a fair punishment? Wouldn't live as the monster you swear to kill and considerd inferior fairer? There's blood on her hands... They both... It's the punishment for all the lifes she ruined...
I grab a mirror fragmant, the last one left, from my pocket, open a portal and throw the fragmant on her like a bowling ball. She gets sucked partially, she holds onto the floor with her claws, trying to not get sucked by the portal, but her efforts are pointless as she gets entirely sucked by the mirror.
It's so quiet now...
I turn to Don hanged on the celling, his eyes are just like dead fish's, he doesn't breath or move, his clothes are stained with blood from the hole on his mouth ans chest, the blood is dripping on the floor. Unfortunately, he won't pay for all his crimes or get punished for all the lifes he took away, either his criminal organization, but hopefully, his torn ideas will die with him...
Don and Van Helsing are the oposite sides of the same coin, the coin of ignorance... Made out of the filthiest and most fragile nickel...
I create a metal dice out of Don's, a metal ball with Helior's blood and a metal pyramid with Van Helsing/Minj's... Now I'll have some answers for the empty spaces...
- Let's go home... - he says softly as I feel his hand on my shoulder - It's over now... - I nod as we both get out of there.
The hardest part is over, we just need to fix some little details and fill some gaps... But for now, we need a break...
