The tell tales of battery city and the killjoys

Rooting for the ones who want to get away

How could i not know that other killjoys would be here. Stupid.stupid stupid. I repeated to myself in my mind. Of course there would be, they just separated one from the other. I guess they didn't know either before their minds were wiped and filled with brainwashed garbage.

I had to escape and fast.I looked around at the exit it was a secured door, you can't get out without the guard letting you out. I need some distraction off the dracs so I could slip by, and I need a ray gun. The dracs had left me where I was sitting to go finish some signing at the desk.

A boy beside me groaned. He looked about older than me and was wearing a white suit, like every bli employ.shit, every one of them were wearing a white suit. A man not anymore in a drac suit, but was wearing a white mask with a smiley and white suit The brain terminating room was the next place they took me, then I'd have to change.

The guard had led me to a room where another guard was standing in front of the brass slider doors. He wasn't wearing a drac mask either. They nodded to another. he shoved me in there and a tendant was fixing up the machines. He shoved me into a chair. 'Ok nows the time' I thought. He had a raygun in his holster. The two guard were outside the door. I looked around the room for an alarm, there was a big lever on the wall.I'm guessing that was it.

The tendant came toward me with a few wires. It was fast motioned, I kicked him in the balls. Hard he fell on his knees. I need to get his gun. He was reaching for it. My nerves were tingling. I tackled him. We rolled on the ground and he gave a few hard punches, blood drizzled down my noise and mouth. I kneed him hard time after time, he lolled over clutching himself. His gun was across the room, I staggered up got it and drastically pulled the alarm. The two guards came rushing in, but I was ready to fire. Two shots rung out as they crumpled to the floor.

Two ways I could turn right down the hallway toward killjoy termination labatory or turn left where I could easily shut down the security system, set off the alarms and slip past the dracs and out the door. I went with that and head down the hall, quietly as possible.still limping and bleeding a little from the brawl. There was a crossroad in the hallway. I went with my gut instincts on which way the security room was, it wouldn't be easy. I was glad for a little training through my brother I knew how to fight and I practiced well on my targets and I knew some about security systems.

I took a left, trying each door, but they were locked. I got to the last door on the end, it clicked opened. No one was in there. Weird. There was a wall with screens that showed all parts of the building. There were buttons. It was simple there had to be a button that shut of everything security in this building.

This has to be quick. I searched for all the buttons that had the sign. 'click, click,click." there were Echos outside the door. It sounded like high heels. Quickly I panicked and hid behind the door. I peeked around, there was japanese woman, average height and short bowl cut hair and wore black heels, a business suit.

She had a authoritive posture. She looked at the screens.

She had to know I was in here. I waited a minute or so, but she didn't leave. I had to stay still like this for god knows how long. It was hopeless she never was going to leave and I was going to be stuck here. I would have to stay along the wall, if the alarms went off. Never did she leave.

I quietly slipped out the door and stayed on the wall. This was a stupid move, why would I think I wouldn't be caught on camera even if I planted myself on the wall.

A loud whaling noise filled the air, red lights flashing light flashed spasmodically. I looked everywhere, on the walls for vents. The last one I saw was way back down the hall.

I got my ray gun ready. Running feet were coming from behind me. I slipped around a corner.

Dracs and scarecrows were filling the halls in a formable fashion. "Stupid old decision Draft, what would mother say." I sneered at myself. Ok the location of an exit was up the hall to the left. Its a good thing I had this place memorized.

"There she is!" a accent rang out. I made a sprint for it. As fast as I could. When I turned the corner a scarecrow jumped out and knocked me upside the head with the butt of his gun. Blood trickled down into my eye. It didn't stop there, I swung my foot up and kicked him hard between the legs and shot him.

They were getting closer. The sirens were still blaring. I saw an elevator right up ahead. It rung and more dracs filed out. About five of them. Easy peasy I could take them out. Well one shot fire and it grazed my left arm slashing open my jacket.

More fires came at me. One sliced across my knee. It burnt like hell. I could fill my skin sort of tear open. "Shit!" I clenched my teeth and slid down the wall. They thought I was stopping, but I fired them one by one.

The elevator was my only hope.

Marching feet came around the corn and I made my way to it. "Don't let her get away!" ding. To late. The elevator was moving. I locked for I lock down button and slammed my fist on it. My knee was hurting so bad. I looked down at it.

It wasn't as bad a I thought, blood was poring out of the burnt wound and sticking to my jeans. I yanked a piece off my jacket and tied it around it.

There was loud banging on the top of the elevator and hurried voices. Now was my time to move the elevator again. There were screaming as the elevator went down. Like the were falling off a cliff. 'ding' went the elevator.

I had to limp my way towards the door. I was in the lobby. I ran out the door. "Over there! There that fucker!" It was Korse's voice. I looked up at the top. Korse was pointing down at me with a blazing glare. Ropes came down from the roof and down the dracs slip. I limped really fast. Who was I to think I can out smart them.

But I was a skilled fighter. A drac came tackling me. He hit me over and over, but before he could get another punch his head busted open from a laser shot of my gun.

Another came at me from the side as I was limping, I shot him. "Stop!" Korse rang out. The dracs stopped running after me. He held his hand up like a dictator. He had an evil smirk. I took one good look at him and turned around and kept going. Pain was running up my leg, but my will could not get me to stop.

The tunnel was unoccupied, but I couldn't put my finger on why he had told his dracs to stop coming after me. The tunnel was long, about a mile I would guess. But I saw a light at the end.
