AWAKENING[REVAMPED EDITION]

CHAPTER XV

UNDERGROUND.

He had to escape or he would surely die. And there was only one way to do it. The green syringe that had been used for the beast behind him laid in the bloody pile of the two soldiers. It seemed to beckon him towards it, begging for it to be used once more.

The liquid had made the soldier insanely powerful giving him not only the abilities of an original lycan but also the ability to deflect silver bullets as if his fur was made of metal. "Subdue the experiment", the voice blared over the speaker.

It was now or never. Through the walls Nico could here the pounding of footsteps against the floor outside the sliding door. There were seven of them, most likely all equipped and prepared to contain him, dead or alive.

Rushing to the door, Nico scrambled to find the syringe that was in the tattered remains of the first soldier. Moving aside a piece of a lung he found what he was looking for, the needle only half empty.

"Mr. Simmons, I would advise you to put the needle down. You don't know what that will do to you", the voice said clicking back on. The soldiers were beginning to gain on the room door, their footsteps getting louder and louder as Nico hesitated to stick the pin into his arm.

He had no idea what that would do to him. Would he be able to turn back because the soldier who got injected with it still had yet to turn back into something that looked remotely human. Taking a deep breath Nico looked at the solution inside of the syringe and swallowed hard.

"Don't do it. You'll regret it", the voice continued. That was all Nico needed to hear. Raising his hand he forced the needle into his left arm and waited for something to happen. He could feel it pulsing through his veins, his heartbeat accelerating.

It came like a hit in the stomach. From a train. Nico cried out in agony as every bone in his body readjusted itself for the new transformation that was taking place. His limbs grew larger and his body began to take the form of a true lycan.

Within seconds he was in the form of an original lycan. Looking down Nico realized his hair was snow white. "Escape." the word traveled through his mind as he looked toward the porthole window and saw the same people staring at him.

"We have a code 12: prisoner escape, I repeat code 12!!!!!!!", the voice over the speaker shrieked. Immediately an alarm blared across all sides of the room flashing red lights everywhere. The soldiers that had ran toward he room were now standing outside the door that was now locked and in lock-down mode.

Before he made a run for it Nico crawled to the other beast that was still sedated and cut the tube that connected it to the L-01. Watching its eyes roll back to the front of its head, Nico looked toward the door and at full speed dashed toward it breaking it down and tackling everyone that was around it.

Bullets flew from everywhere as Nico slaughtered each and every one of the soldiers while the beast still inside the room roared and pounced up to the porthole window busting through. Screams and yells could be heard from the window as everyone behind it was killed without mercy.

As he finished biting out the throat of the last guard Nico looked on toward the hallway where they came from where ten more guards stood waiting, guns drawn. With no fear he charged down the hallway as the bullets the guns spat bounced of his bloody coat.

It felt like a pinch as each bullet hit his pelt and bounced off, but ignoring the feeling, Nico bounded toward the group of soldiers until reaching them and clawing out their inside organs leaving them in a heap on the floor.

A turn to the left sat dead at the end of the hall. Now not hesitating Nico ran down the rest of the hall and turned the corner where he was met with an elevator at the end a door on the right: WHITE ROOM and a door on the left: LYCAN. As he ran toward the elevator the beast that had been in the room burst through the door on the right tackled Nico into the room on the left.

The two smashed right through the door and landed in a heap as they struggled to get off of one another. Nico kicked the other beast off and distanced himself from it running toward the end of the small room before turning back around to face it.

Blood covered the entire pelt of the beast and pieces of human flesh were entangled in its jaws. "Kill", he thought and charged straight toward the beast who was thrown to the ground by Nico's power. The two clawed at each other viciously until Nico grabbed the beast by the head and began smashing it to the ground.

Roaring the beast still clawed at his face reaching a valuable spot and clawing otu Nico's right out. But still he continued to beat the beast's head into the ground until finally taking both hands and with a hard tug decapitated the beast making blood splatter everywhere around the two.

Moving and seizing the beast suddenly stopped and stayed still. This was when Nico realized that he was surrounded by cages. Hundreds of them, all filled with lycan. Their red and yellow eyes staring back at him as he gazed upon the site.

Unable to communicate Nico did the only thing he felt was necessary and torn the locks off of every cage. When he reached the back he realized that there was yet another room connected the one before only by a door.

Opening it Nico as met face to face with the biggest lycan he had ever seen its size making the beast look tiny in comparison, its fur was silver and its eyes were an icy-blue. Its two arms were extended by chains connected to the left and right which Nico broke with ease.

Grateful of its helper the lycan bowed its head and stood on its hind legs walking out the door and into the previous room. Nico turned around and followed the large lycan to the room where every other lycan stood.

Some were in their lycan form while others were human. Among them were a guy and a girl who appeared to be the leaders of the group. Seeing Nico approach the group the girl turned towards him and eyed him down closely. She was medium-sized and fit with olive-colored skin. Her red eyed pierced his soul as she stared at him coldly.

"We appreciate you helping us out", she said, her voice surprisingly warm and accepting, "I'm Serenity and this is my brother Ira." The guy who stood next to her was almost the exact opposite with dark skin and a tall figure. He too looked mean but also had a sharp voice.

"We need to move", Ira started, looking around at all the lycan before silencing and stepping back. The silver-haired walked slowly toward Nico with a hunch and got back on all fours.

"And I am the elder Restorian", it said causing Nico to widen his eyes. But before anything else could be spoken dozens of voices could be heard coming down the hallway fast. "Prepare for battle", Ira announced quietly extending his claws and approaching the door.

"At least 18", Serenity said also extending her claws. As the people got closer every lycan began to prepare. "Go", Ira said loudly and ran out the door to face the soldiers. Every lycan followed until only Nico was left along with Restorian the elder. Heavy gun fire rained down the halls ringing into Nico's ears.

"Let us go and help hybrid", the elder said and on his hind legs, dashed out the room and into the fight.

All Nico could do was grin and bound out the door into the battle outside.
