Chapter 6 - A Mishap

Nova was explaining how bad they are stuck in a situation but Zet was all calm and composed .

Zet spoke " I know Cesar quite well he was my teacher at the time of training , I know he has set cctv cameras in your house and this place is in reach of guards that's why I have arranged the necessary requirements ."

While speaking Zet bought out a pair of jammers out of his pocket and said " we will have a bit more time to escape now , he couldn't see us through cctv as they are network connected .But he will soon find out that something is wrong and will arrive here soon . We will get out of here through the window . I'm planning to go to the underground tunnels and hide in the nearby common peoples colonies "

Nova :- "that's quite a plan , so I guess I have enough time to explain you about your present condition . In simple words your immune system is enhanced so much that it can easily counter the virus . Not only that but it repairs your muscle tissue very quickly if they are damaged . Moreover your body will improvise every time it gets damaged . You can really surpass average humans if you continuously train yourself"

Zet :- " well that was quite satisfying to hear . I almost forgot to thank you doc ,you saved my life .

I was also thinking you could try that on other people so that everyone can move freely outside ."

Nova explained " No it isn't working we tried it on others. The results were disastrous. We…."

Before she could speak further Zet interrupted " they are close we have to move now quick "

Nova and Zet then quickly moved to the kitchen and got out of the window ". As they were jumping from the window ,they could hear the sound of door breaking .

Intruders were forcing their way into the house . Nova asked Zet "how did you know they were coming ".

Zet answered " I have sharp ears "

Due to Zet's previous encounter with the Hounds his senses had grown sharp .He is now able to listen to minute noise and can smell things from far away distance .

They got out of the headquarters and moved towards the colonies of ordinary people.

(FISHKERS Laboratories)

Kraken has created over more than 20 humanoid monsters . He had kept them lock in their shells . They were grawling like animals . As the guards were keeping a watch over them , one of the monsters was looking constantly at the guards . He was different than the others , he was smaller and was almost similar in shape to the humans . Unlike others he wasn't grawling and was constantly giving a smile to the guards . After a few minutes the guards got frustrated they went near his chamber with shockers that could produce high voltage electric shocks .

One of the guard said "guess you are having too much fun inside the cage let me increase your enjoyment ". He began inserting the key to open the lock , the other guard warned him "don't , he might be dangerous ".

The other guard laughed saying " this one is a weakling it won't be much of a task ,lets teach him a lesson "

(FISHKERS control room )

Kraken was talking to Caesar over phone ," I have created 21 of the specimen till now , the latest one has shown interesting result . It still has its consciousness like human . Not only that but his body's ability to mutate and adapt to surrounding is fascinating I think he is even more powerful than Zet .

Cesar replied " that's a good news but I will still prefer the ones with low IQ . It would be much easier to control them . Anyway right now I'm pursuing Zet . He played smart that's quite unusual of him . I thought he is the same reckless kid that he was earlier .Guess I was wrong.But it won't be long before I catch him . The doctor has also fled with him . "

Saying this Cesar cut the phone and told the soldiers "shoot them at sight and make sure no one knows about Zet or doctor ."

(FISHKERS Laboratories)

The guards entered in the shell the 1st guard went right to him and gave him a high voltage shock. The humanoid mutant screamed "arrgh " .

Guard laughed and spoke " see I told you I will wipe that smile right from your face ". The second guard was standing at the door and was looking around the room , he spoke up " hey his no is 21 , I think he is the 21st number experiment "

Guard 1 spoke " so what ,this one must be a weakling " and again gave a high voltage shock . This time the mutant doesn't scream although the voltage was very high . It kept quite with its head bent downward .

The guard spoke " what happened you dead already , I will keep tormenting you till you are dead " " ha ha ha " and he again gave him a high voltage shock .

This time the mutant lifted his head up and gave a creepy smile . The guard was stunned as he could clearly see the electricity flowing through its body . Before he could speak anything the mutant moved his hand and the guards head flew off his body .His headless body fell down on ground . The other guard was frozen at that moment .The only thing he could think was 'run' but his legs weren't moving properly due to fear .The guard 2 was standing beside the door so he lifted his hand to shut the door . But it was too late the mutant extended its thin arm like a vine and it passed right through the guards heart.

Kraken was looking at the past reports of his experimental subjects , he read them all and took a look at the live CCTV footage of the experimental lab cells . His eyes widened as he saw that all the chambers were empty .He hurriedly recapped the footage to find what had happened 5 minutes ago. His head got numbed for a minute .

He began analyzing the situation ' it's been 5 minutes ,. with their abilities they can reach the storehouse , or to the main centre of FISHKERS headquarter from that place they can go to all the places . Worst case situation they will reach the colonies .If they reach there thousands will die .'

The first thing Kraken decided to do was to call Caesar to give report on the situation . The only possible thing now was to either kill or catch all the mutants . Kraken was pretty sure that Cesar would want them alive so he informed all the guards to catch the mutants (monsters) alive . But the problem was , he has no idea what kind of drug will put them to sleep , their ability far exceed than that of a normal human .

He made the call to Caesar…

(Parking lot )

Zet and Nova ran through the window and reached the parking lot to find an escape but Cesar's soldiers were already there . They began firing and , Zet and Nova took cover behind a car .

Zet spoke "there are four of them I can take them out I just need a gap ."

Nova :- " I will be the diversion ,you will shoot them in that interval "

Zet:- " ohk fine we will start on count of three, one , two ,three"

From left Nova ran to another cars back as they were firing relentlessly . On that time Zet got out from right and shoot two of the soldiers on their legs . The other two began shooting towards him continuously .Zet again hid behind the car . He waited there for a minute and then concentrated " he could hear one of the soldiers approaching the other was standing behind giving him backup .

Zet rolled a smoke grenade towards the soldier and the whole area began filling with white smoke . Zet threw his gun up , as it fell down and made sound the soldiers began firing towards it . Within that time Zet had reached behind the guard standing at back . Zet knocked him down and rendered the other senseless by hitting behind his head .

As the smoke cleared Zet went towards Nova , to his surprise she was on ground and the area was filled with blood . Zet hurried towards her and picked her up . A bullet had gazed her stomach when she was acting as diversion .

Zet :-" are you all right , hey can you hear me "

Nova spoke in a feeble voice " the bullet's not stuck in my body but I'm loosing blood too fast . You have to get out of here .

Zet:-" we are going straight to the hospital , I can't let you die like this ,. You had saved my life before now its my turn ".

Zet could hear footstep approaching .Caesar was arriving towards the parking lot with two other soldiers .

Zet picked up two guns and walked with rage towards the entrance….
