3034: The Awakening

Agony and Despair

Z P.O.V.

It feels as if it had taken an eternity to find the ship holding Emily. Somehow with the keen nose of my Lycan I was able to find them, her scent is so strong and whatever this connection is seemed to work almost as a radar giving off little beeps when I got closer to her location. Switching the fighter to stealth mode, the ship cloaks itself in its invisibility technology,blending in with the stars and purplish outer space with different hints of black in patches. Other moons approximately four or five orbit by  some are as big as Mars and others as small as Pluto. 

The view is intoxicating and her scent intensifies the rest of my senses. Managing to dock aboard the reptilian ship I ease out of the cockpit of my fighter.  My two blasters steady one in each hand they feel so light to hold. Their weight is just that of a feather. Aiming out and slowly moving my way across the docking station. Waiting for the moment the alarms begin to blare and let the enemy know of my presence. 

The docking bay has a mixture of fighters and cruisers of about twenty in quantity. All the fighters  based on cockpit size are single pilot only with the wingspan and speed that matches that of any other galactic fighter. Seeing all this means that they are connected to someone higher up in the chain. Solarious is a powerful meta being, but to have access to the same galactic fighters with similar size, wing span, and thrusters, then maybe my assumption isn't just a bunch of hot air. Could someone else be pulling the chain of the fearless leader? 

Exhaling a long breath I didn't realize was being held in, I had reached the doors to the airlock.  Cautiously I peer around the corner to view through the circle window of the lock. In between the two entries is a small shallow space for sanitation and de pressurizing. On the other side is a long narrow hallway that comes to a left or right pathway. The hall from what I can see is empty and lined with white LED lights in an oval shape. The lights are attached to rows of metal columns that have three palm sized holes in each one clearly cut to see through. Maybe for hiding behind and shooting I conclude. 

I try to open the airlock but the door is locked. A passcode is required and I don't know it, or have a way around it. Frustrated I grunt and look around to try and find another way. Come on Z you need to hurry, you're taking too much time. As if the universe had read my thoughts, I hear two voices step out of the airlock. Using the fighters and cruisers as cover I  maneuver around getting close to their position, ready to pounce on my prey. Sprinting out from behind the fighter, I come up behind him gripping him tightly around the neck with my arm, twisting his right arm behind his back. The reptilian soldier cries out in agony. 

"I don't have a whole lot of time and I am not f*****g arojnd, so just once I will ask, where is the girl?" I tighten my grip even more to maintain dominance over him. Pulling tighter and tighter on his arm, one simple jerk with muh hand and I could break it. 

"They have her in the ISO room, second floor," he hisses out trying to catch his breath.

"Good boy, now what is the code to the airlock?" 

"Seven, eight,four, four"

Squeezing his neck until he falls unconscious I type in the numbers just as he said. The airlock slides open and closes behind me, the light turns a dark red and a cloud of smoke feels the lock. Shortly after a blue light takes over and the smoke whisks away. Opening the door to the other side, I make my way further and further down the hall until I find an elevator.  Sucking in the air deep through my nose, her scent becomes overwhelmingly strong. Emily..I am so close hold on. Leona I grant you permission for full transformation. Granting permission to my Lycan spirit pushes my spirit back behind my brain. 

My white arms begin to turn a furry dark black color, my face changes and a muzzle forms in place on the center where my normal human form nose and mouth would be. Canine teeth lengthen in muh mouth and I grow taller than my normal self. My eyes shift a radiant golden color, my chest is covered with white fur, my tail protrudes next. Every feature that showed me as norm was now gone, I was in my full Lycan state and I was ready to kill. 

Emily P.O.V.

My body is cold and weak. My face is blue and I lie there lifeless. There is no pulse, no heart rate...no life. I am far from life and close to death, and yet I am still here. Outside my own body unseen by these evil bastards. Invisible to them, I am still here. Hovering over my body they poke and prod removing some soft tissue and blood from my arms, sides and neck. Dripping small droplets of blood on a small glass slide one of them looks under a microscope. 

" It lives within her!" He cries out. 

The others stop what they're doing by dropping their tools on the table. Walking over they each peak into the microscope. 

"Perfect, Solarious will be thrilled, the bioweapon is within grasp. Harvest the girl's organs, we must get as much of this virus we can."  

Leaving the room, the others begin gathering more tissue and blood samples from my body. Anger swells within me. I have failed, I wanted to be a cure and help and these monsters have turned me into an expendable corpse used to remake specimen x. If only I could have fought harder or maybe stayed behind none of this would've happened. Now no one will know, I am dead and the others are straight back to square one. The innocent people won't know what hit them and it is all my fault. 

Watching them working bit by bit trying to crack the code of specimen X. Horror consumes me,death may have welcomed me but resting peacefully,  seeing my family again will forever be out of reach. Despair shadows over me and all the light I feel in my soul is draining from me. Slowly I feel this cold and emptiness take its place. Just as I am close to giving in to this entity, the door is cast open.

Blazing in and growling so loud bearing white pearly teeth and piercing golden eyes, pitch black fur with a beautiful white chest. This Lycan is taller than any average human. The size of this beast would put legends and so called pictures of bigfoot to shame. The hands are three times the size of a mans. Long claws run past the fingertips. What, who could that be? Surely it isnt Z. She never really liked me or cared for me, so I don't even see how it could be her. 

The reptilians freeze in their place, shocked and with their mouths agape, it is a stare down. They look at one another and charge all at once. With one hand the Lycan grabs the yellow reptilian by the throat snapping his neck. Another swift motion sends the lizard and other reptilians soaring across the room denting the wall behind them. Turning its sights to the table the lycan sees my lifeless body and freezes. 

Z P.O.V.

Feeling the one reptilians neck snap between my paw brings me much pleasure. Knowing that I could feel the pain,it won't match what they have put Emily through, nothing will ever match her pain. I toss the others across the room with one single swiping motion, these weak creatures are no match for my strength in my lycan state. I look across the room and see a woman's body on a metal table. Blood drips from the edges onto the floor. Her body is blueish color. I swear at that moment I feel my heart sink to my stomach. Agony sweeps over me and I can feel tears well up in my golden eyes. I cannot move. I am frozen at the sight. Hoping ever so much that this body isn't that of Emilys, that maybe it is someone else's. Yes that is it , it's another girl they had taken one who can morph and shape shift to look human. 

' Z you know who it is, do not try to fool yourself' Leonas words make me cringe. 

'No, it can't be her...it..it just can't' I respond back to my Lycan. 

Pushing back to the forefront of my mind I allow Leona to keep her presence however. We walk slowly towards the table. There she lies, young Emily so lifeless so pale...Holes cover her sides and arms from deep incisions they had made to extract tissue, blood and whatever else these fuckers could think of. Picking her head up in my left arm,she is as cold as ice and limp. 

Still in shock I keep examining her lifeless body. I am too late, I couldn't save her. I failed her. All ilI ever wanted to do was protect her and help find a cure for the disease that ran full course through her body. This is why I stayed away from her and kept my wall up. My past has not had any good come out of love. I fail those who care about me and I them. No matter how much the connection was there, I had thought keeping away from her at arm's length would be enough to soften the blow if I ever lost her. At this very moment I am most definitely and have been severely wrong. The pain I feel right now is unbearable. My heart splits in two. Agony inches into my muscles and my bones. Falling to my knees I let out the most horrendous growl. They will f*****g pay they will all f*****g pay for what they did to her! They will all die!
