Legacy: Into Infinity [ISG Book 2]

Inside Job

"It's time to stop, Delta. You've killed too many candidates..." a voice spoke. "Why should I? You want to remove me from the only place I've ever known..." Delta replied. "You're a murderer, Delta..." the other said. "At least I'm not the monster..." Delta concluded.

For the next hour, Delta paced back and forth in her chamber. When the sound of footsteps came from the other side of her chamber doors, she stopped - she knew what was coming. She could hear whoever was on the other side of the door, mumbling to another. "I know you're there" Delta stated. "We know, and we're coming..." one of the others said. "Oh rea-" before Delta could finish her sentence, her chamber door exploded, and two men armed with sub-machine guns came charging in. Delta didn't move.

After a few seconds had passed, a young girl identical to Delta walked in. She had amber eyes, an short, blond hair, and was dressed in a red and white striped t-shirt, with navy blue shorts on. "What do we have here?" the girl spoke, in a soft tone. "Seems you've been a bad girl, Delta..." she continued, as she walked up to Delta, putting a hand around her neck, and pushing her up against the wall. "I bet you like it when you're the one doing all the pushing don't you? Smarty-pants Gamma and her posse, here to shatter my lights, and chuck me out..." Delta said, with a grin on her face. "What are you so happy about?" Gamma enquired, raising a fist, as if she was about to hit Delta - but before she could, Delta put a hand on one of Gamma's breasts, and squeezed. As expected, Gamma fell to her knees moaning; Delta had just opened a small window of escape.

Delta propelled her knee forward, causing it to collide with the unsuspecting-Gamma, who was still on the floor. When the guards realized what had happened, Delta had already made her way to one of them, pulled out his knife, and stabbed him in the throat. As the second guard went to fire his weapon, Delta pulled the first in front of her, and used him as a shield. Finally, she pushed the now-lifeless guard into the still-living one, and ran at him with the knife; one swift movement of her hand, and blood was spraying out of his jugular onto her face.

In the time it had taken for her to kill the two guards, Gamma had recovered. She pulled Delta by the shoulders, and punched her in the stomach. The impact of the punch was enough to wind Delta for a few seconds, which allowed her to trip her up, and pin her to the ground. "You just can't stop pinning me can you? Bet you'd just love to get a look at me wouldn't you?" Delta stated, catching Gamma by surprise. "Ew what the fuck D, that's not what's happening here... Jesus Christ... Ew..." Gamma said, jumping to her feet, and going into the corner of Delta's chamber, towards a security camera.

"What are you doing, Gamma?" Delta enquired, watching Gamma reach up, and rip the camera from it's wiring. "I can't explain right now... You're just going to have to trust me, okay?" Gamma replied, grabbing Delta's hand, and leading her out of the chamber.
