"I demand to know where Subject 029 is!" A green haired micell with glasses slams his hands on his desk.
"We're trying and doing the best we can!" a grey micell's knees shake.
"Then try harder! She's been missing for 3 hours now! What do I pay you imbeciles for!?"
"S-should we tell the city that she's missing, so we have a better chance of finding her?"
"No, are you crazy! This is not something you can tell other people about!" The green haired micell grabs a comb from his box and grooms himself. "I must not have my image destroyed by an event like this! Hurry and find her!"
"Yes, sir!" The grey micell hurries and rushes out the door."
"Ugh, where has she gone! She couldn't have gone far" The green micell rapidly starts to bite his nails. "If he finds out...i'm dead"
While the he was pacing back and forth, the door was abruptly opened by a champagne haired mouse with scrubs.
"Doctor, we have a patient that needs healing"
"Ah yes, i'll be right there. Did you see what they were wearing?"
"He's wearing a strange cloak with a mask, so I couldn't see if he had anything"
"Did you see what race he was?"
"I think he's a micell... When I looked at his mask he had the same snout as one."
"Hm, interesting.. Did you lock the door?" he grins
"Yes sir"
*************
A creature with green fur, wings and an antenna has been revealed to Cyrus. Some people would think she looked like a small pretty butterfly with two arms and big eyes, but to Cyrus she looked like an evolved roach.
"Ah! What are you doing!?" The weird creature looks outside the locker left to right and then quickly closes the door.
"My bad, I guess you're staying in. It's quite weird for someone to talk from inside a locker don't you think?" he laughs
"I have my reasons... Anyways, you need to leave! I was barely able to escape from that awful lab!"
Before he responded to her, Cyrus did a little background check on her and activated clairvoyance.
*********
•Subject 029•
HP: 225/300
A creature made from a combination of animals
Has wings
***********
Cyrus turns off clairvoyance, 'The skill was actually a little helpful this time... Not!' he rolls his eyes
[What do you want to do? Are you going to help her escape?]
'I'll think about it.' he lightly shrugs. 'I need to focus on healing up first. If I had the right medical supplies I could have done it myself.'
The creature knocks on the locker door from the inside, "Hello! Are you listening to me?"
"Yeah, yeah sure" Cyrus limps back to the bed and sits down.
"Fine, your loss! You're gonna wish you listened to me!"
"Why are you in a locker anyway?"
"I-It was the closest hiding place from the lab and the nurse kept walking down the hallway. I'm going to wait here until it gets dark"
"Have fun with that"
After their conversation, the room was silent for 5 mins until the door was finally opened.
The doctor strides inside the room happily "Good Afternoon Sir! Would you like me to hold your cloak for you?"
"No I just need you to heal my leg"
"Got it! What's wrong with it?"
"It got pierced when I was fighting a beast"
"Oh a hunter! Amazing! Then let's get started shall we?" The doctor walks up to his cabinet, takes his keys out of his pocket and unlocks it. There are bottles of different shapes and sizes inside. He starts searching through them and picks out one particular bottle with a blue liquid inside.
"What's that?"
"One of the rarest healing potions in the world"
Cyrus's eyebrow raises "And you're going to use it for my leg?"
"W-well yes! All of our patients only deserve the highest quality of medicine!"
"How much is this going to cost?"
"Not... that much! Usually everyone is able to pay it!"
Cyrus feels something is off, but he ignores it. Since he was always on the street, he's never paid for anything serious like a doctor bill. 'How expensive can it be?'
"Let's heal you up." He walks up to Cyrus with the potion ready to pour. When Cyrus raised his cloak revealing his injured left leg, the doctor's mouth dropped in horror. 'No wonder he's wearing that cloak! He's hairless! That poor soul... I would too'
Cyrus's becomes confused by the doctor's expression. 'Why is his facial expression full of pity?'
The doctor tipped over the bottle making one drop come out and fall on Cyrus's leg. Slowly but surely, the holes in his leg started to disappear as if they were never there in the first place. Although the healing was working efficiently, Cyrus was wincing the whole time in pain. 'Is it supposed to hurt?'
"All done!"
"Finally"
The doctor rubs his hands together. "Right.... So, now I need the payment"
"How much is it?"
"1,000 kolons"
Cyrus starts to cough a bit from the shock, "Excuse me, what?"
"1,000 kolons" The doctor makes a big grin.
Cyrus starts to sit up "For only a drop of the healing potion?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" The grin from the doctor starts to get even bigger.
Cyrus immediately activates clairvoyance on the potion.
************
•Healing Potion• (Poorest quality to have)
Left in bottle: 60/100
used for minor injuries
*************
'The highest quality my a*s! No wonder it was hurting!' Cyrus clenches his fist.
"So are you ready to pay up?"
"Nope, cause i'm not paying"
"E-Excuse me?" The doctor adjusts his glasses
"Did I s-s-stutter?"
"Ah... you see that just won't do." He chuckles and snaps his fingers. Swiftly, Four huge Ratman teleports inside the room. "You see... I was going to do this anyway, but I wanted to save it for a better moment. Oh well, this will have to do"
"W-what? Pl-Please don.. don't hurt me!" Cyrus covers his body
"Yes, that's the reaction I should get!"
"I'll do anything! I'll pay!"
"Nah, that's okay. You should have done that when I aske-....." The doctor couldn't finish his sentence because for some reason the two ratmans that were next to him were now without a head. Their bodies are still standing while their blood sprays everywhere in the room.
"W..What? What's going on?"
While the doctor was talking, Cyrus had formed two swords in his hands during his 'scared' facade. Once they completed, he automatically aimed for a high cut towards two ratman's neck without giving them a chance to react.
He points at Cyrus "How dare you! You two get him!" The other Ratman took out double handed swords and charged towards him.
Cyrus gets into a ready position and prepares to parry their attacks. Left to right, swords are slashing against each other making Cyrus step back a bit since he's being double teamed.
"How do I get out of this situation?" The more he parried against them, the more he struggled because of the power imbalance.
Cyrus then decides to duck down and slide back resulting in the ratmans attacking each other by accident.
'Let's get this over with' He sighs and switches out his two swords with two handguns. Immediately he fires them towards their head and torso, but they were able to dodge them while rushing towards him again.
'D*mn they're pretty good' As they were running towards him, Cyrus decides to run away from them.
"What's wrong? They're too strong for you?" The doctors mocks.
He ignores his comment and continues to run away from the Ratman. However, the room isn't that big so Cyrus is heading straight for the wall. The doctor thought it was over for him until Cyrus ran up against the wall to get behind them and shot them in the back. Both Ratman grunted and fell to the floor in extreme pain.
Due to the intense pain, they couldn't get up so Cyrus shot them till they were dead.
The doctor raises his hands towards him "Wait! It was not supposed to go down like this!"
Cyrus started to shake his head "Oh, how the turned tables"
"I.. I!" The doctor busted out the room to escape from Cyrus's wrath. Luckily for him, he didn't chase him because he thought that the doctor wasn't worth the chase or time.
"I was hoping for more of a fight from them, but this is ok" Cyrus starts to stretch and walks up to the cabinet to take medication for himself. There weren't many that caught his eye, so he stopped searching and got ready to leave. He almost went out the door until he remembered something.
"Hey roach, do you want to leave or not? The doctor is gone"
"What did you call me!?" She busts out the locker.
"Nothing" Cyrus strides out the door and exits the building.
Once she confirmed he left, Subject 029 takes out a device from her fur and starts to call someone. A person with a deep voice answers it.
"Update"
"The doctor failed the test and a strange micell in a cloak came in and easily defeated the ratman you gave the doctor."
"Hm.... Follow him for now"
"Yes sir"
