Unwanted Path

Chapter 19

Rage

Zareth pulled Dannys old body to him for a moment, a gentle kiss to the forehead before he finally put her down and stood. He looked around the pipe filled room. He wasn't to sure how big the room was or how many of the androids were in there. But he didn't care either. He turned to Midnight who looked scared around the room. She knew her brothers were in the room, but she like Danny was never given a program to fight with.. She was rather scared.

"Go, I'm staying behind, I want to make sure these jerks don't go after anyone ever again.' Zareth stood and walked into the steam. Midnight lost sight of him almost instantly. She ran toward the doors.

Zareth wasn't sure where he was going, actually he wasn't sure if he ever cared. His usually perfectly quaffed hair was hanging or caked to his forehead because of sweat. His shirt was in tatters along his back, His injured palm and leg were forgotten. A red ting kept flashing in his optics.

'Are we going to be alright Zareth?' Dannys voice perked up from her tiny spot in the back of his mind.

'We will be just fine Danny.' Zanes voice broke the silence.

'We're just mad that people keep hurting you.'

'But they went after Zareth.'

"Your my priority." Zareth said others "I can't lose you." Zareth said. Danny could feel an amused smile from Dareth. "Dareth will turn into a huge puddle of brown and it'll turn me into one moppy Zareth."

'Oh we can't have that.' Danny giggled. Zareth chuckled.

"Now sit back babe."

Zareth looked around at the room once more feeling as if he were being watched by someone. He jumped behind a pipe. A shot tinked the side of a pipe and ricochets off.

"Oh you missed! Want you bullet back?!" Zareth yelled over the hissing of the pipe. There was a crack in it now. He smiled and started to twist the pipes shift on any and every set he found. He could hear the whistling all around him. It wasn't enough to do much damage, but it set off alarms all over the plant. Everyone now knew to leave if they valued their existenceexistence.

"Alright Zareth you can stop now." Spencers voice came over the PA.

"Stop...stop what? I don't know what you mean." One of the androids came around a set of pipes. It was 7, Zareth had a personal vendettavendetta against this particular one for knocking Danny down in the snow and spilling the ingredientsingredients to make the potstickers.

7 ran forward punching at Zareth. Zareth dodged and grabbed 7s arm spinning him around. Zareth grabbed 7s arms and pressed his knee into its back. Zareth pulled and the arms made a cracking noise. The android shook its head trying to get Zareth to stop. Zareths eyes flashed red and he leaned in.

"When we asked you to stop hurting Danny...you kept coming...twice now you hurt her. You destroyed her body! I will not stop." He yelled pulling the androids arms clean from his body. He used one of the arms to hit the head right off his shoulders.

"Five down...six more." Zareth whispered to no one. Another came around the corner. Zareth used his momentum and threw him onto some equipment. It steamed, and sparked. Soon enough there was a sizeable fire going on from there. Smoke was added to the steam. It made it twice as hard to see.

'Zareth please you need to get out.' Danny said. Zareth didn't hear her. Or he just chose to ignore her. Zareth brushed against a door and opened it. Within was a large table with chairs. The walls were covered in the same carpet as the floor. It looked like an old audio room from an out of date high school. It was meant to cancel out sound. He looked around and and nearly jumped out of his socks if he had any on. His sandshoes had disappeared when he was taken captive. So every time he ran his feet sounded like a human running till his heals hit the ground. It honestly to him sounded like a cowboy walking.
