I can't believe I found Jones! He's here, but not in the condition I want him to be in. I have to break him out and take him back home. I struggled trying to make my body move. For some reason I couldn't even generate any electricity to flow through my body. What's going on? I'm.....powerless! This was the first time that I've been powerless since I've came back from the dead.
The doctor came back inside the room and sat in a chair. He sat across from me and watched me struggle to move my body. "How long does this paralysis lasts?" I tried to say, forgetting I was dumb. He laughed his head off. I was getting frustrated and angry knowing that I couldn't do anything. He got out of his chair and wiped a couple of laughing tears from his eyes. "Let's put you back to sleep for now." He said smiling. While he was getting his needle,I suddenly blacked out.

Hajìkú-I decided that I needed to get us out of this mess. Jacob apparently isn't strong enough to help us. This scientist was walking towards me and I could see him notice the difference in my eyes. He leaned in and looked closer, got you. I summoned all my strength and wrapped my hands around his neck and the hand that he was holding the needle in. I charged my hands and began to electrocute him. He eyes began flashing and there a smoke coming from his mouth. I dropped him once I felt the electric currents in his body stop flowing. That's all of my energy for now. You're welcome Jacob. Now go save that bastard, but leave a few kilts to me. I passed out shortly after that.

Jacob-I woke up and saw the doctor laying on the ground dead. I guess I owe you one Hajìkú. I slowly moved my body and began walking out the weird experiment room. I felt....drained and exhausted. I could feel the energy flowing through my body again. Slowly, but surely I was getting stronger. It's finally coming back. I need to be quiet and find a map.
As I was sneaking around,I noticed that there were no cameras around. It was very lucky for me since I was moving slowly. Even though there were no cameras, there were quite a lot of guards patrolling. When I reached corner I saw a big guard walking towards my direction. I looked around to find somewhere to hide and I saw a closed door. I quickly ran inside and closed the door silently behind me. When I turned inside the room I saw a wall of computers.
Maybe this will give me a general layout of the place. But where can I find the blueprints? I began to quickly type on the computer different key words to pull up the blueprints. "Building plans, no good. Buildings blueprint, no good either. The buildings general layout, that's also no good." I began speaking to myself. Maybe... I typed in the words "Show me the Blueprints!" as a joke. Apparently that actually worked. What a dumb password!
When the computer pulled up all the layouts for the building,I printed them out to have my own copy. Once they finished printing, the doorknob began to rattle. That big burly guard walked inside. "Who are you?" He asked viciously. I was too nervous to say anything. He charged towards me at full speed. I shocked him before he reached me. His body shook violently as he fell to the ground convulsing.
"That was close." I told myself. I grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the corner of the room. He was extremely heavy. I had to hide him in case someone else would come inside this room. I left the room and followed the detailed plans I had. I was looking for the main office in the building. I suspected that's where Jones was being kept hostage. I was good at reading maps and blueprints so I was able to follow along and find my way. I had a few more run ins with more guards. They were easy to deal with. I just had to shock them a bit, then hide their bodies.
I finally found the main office, which I assume is the mayor's office. I peeked my head inside and I must say, it was much bigger than any normal room should be. There were more armed guards standing around in there. I also saw Jones standing in the corner perfectly still. It's now or never. I need a plan. I looked around and saw a junction box. I absorbed all the energy in it causing the power to go out in the entire building. I could hear slight confusion in the room, but nothing too major. Step one complete.
I ran inside and tried to take out the nearest guards to me with my powers, but my powers weren't working. What now? I thought I had enough energy. I had to use hand to hand combat against 12 guys. Twelve big guys. I'm over 200lbs of pure muscle and I'm pretty sure they could rip me apart like paper. What a horrible way to die.
The first guard came at me with a fist the size of my head. I dodged it and grabbed my knife from my hip. I grabbed the other one from my boot side. The room was dimly lit, by a few flashlights and candles so his large outline was easy to see. Since I'm smaller, I'll use my speed to my advantage. Another fist came at me. I quickly ducked it, ran forward and stabbed him in his sternum and throat. He dropped and made a loud thud. The power finally came back on due to a backup generator. I saw the other eleven guards armed with knives of their own. This was going to be interesting.
"Just kill him already. He's already in my special room where he can't use his powers!" I heard a female say. She sounded like the same one that was on Jones phone. Two guards rushed at me swinging. I knew I couldn't take them both at once so I threw a knife into the knee of one and picked up another knife. Now I could focus on the one coming towards me. He tried to stab me and I moved past his arm and sliced his throat. Before he could even fall,I ran and kicked the guard that was holding his knee in pain. He was rolling on his back still holding his knee. I stomped on his sternum as hard as I could and began crushing his rib cage. Fighting the rest of the guards pretty much went the same way. I took them out easily and violently.
"Jones, can you hear me?" I asked him out of breath. The guards were easy to beat, just tiring since they were so big. Jones looked at me and tears were falling. "You can't save everyone buddy." He replied. Before I could say anything, this mystery lady spoke again. "I'm going to have him kill you Jacob. With my electric powers,I can alter memories. So just a little zap and he's no longer the Jones you know. She was about to zap him and he quickly said "I've always loved you buddy."
His body shook violently as the energy started affecting his brain. She whispered something in his ear, but I don't know what. The lady walked away and the light hit her face. It was Rosalin. When I tried to call out her name, a fist punched me right in the nose.
