"Is there anything else coming from that crystal?" Ally asked
Luke in front of her points the crystal to the left, making it glow brighter, he kept walking with Ally and Damien following behind her, Luke stopped hearing footsteps draw near them, and he pulled his arm out,
"What the matter?" Damien asked
"They are moving in, ready your arms," Ally said
They went past Luke and stood in front of him, they aimed their weapons toward the hallway entrance and Ally move past them all, with her hand raised, before they turned the corner one of them yelled,
"We mean no harm,"
Ally motion her hand to stand firm, they stopped before entering the hallway,
"We need to know you won't shoot at us," The male said
"Then place your weapons in front of us and surrender yourselves," Ally said
One gun was thrown at them by one of their coworkers grabbing it for her, the man stepped out to them and asked,
"Are you Ally?"
Ally stepped towards the mam, but Damien follows her, she stopped in front of him and stared him down,
Damien touched her hand with his, and she glanced at him, a soft smile lay on her face until she looked back at the man,
"Yes I'm Ally, what is your game?" Ally asked
"I'm not playing any angle, ma'am, I came here because Avalon told me to look for you,"
"What did she say?" Damien asked
"She told us to find Ally and bring her the inner working of this place," He answered
Ally glanced at Damien who stepped towards him and made the man step back feeling imitated,
"Do you have anything that could convince us that you're telling the truth," Damien said
He nods at Damien and puts his hand into his pocket, one of the soldiers tried to raise their gun at the man only to be stopped by Ally, who placed her hand on the barrel and glares down at them, the man glanced at them, but he pulled out an axe with gold engravings,
"Marcello," Luke whispers
Damien slowly takes it and looked at him, he placed the axe on his hip and Damien turned to Ally.
"Let them in, they are with us," Damien said
Ally stood down the soldiers, the man went back to his allies and brought them out, some of them walked past Ally talking to one another, the man walk back to Ally and bowed his head,
"My name is Clayton at your service ma'am," Clayton said
"Good now, where are your central command, your artillery, and your secrets," Ally said
"I will show you, but the person we left behind is of concern," Clayton said
Luke moves past Ally,
"What does that mean?" Luke asked
Clayton watched them move closer to him, he could see the concern between of two of them, but Ally only had one of fear and suspicion,
Clayton clears his throat and spoke softly,
"The woman that was with us, is not what she seems. We don't even know her,"
"You don't know her?" Ally said
"Yes she showed up just today under maxims watched, she told us that she was the boss's other hand, and was going to guild us on how to deal with the infiltrators," Clayton said
"After that, there were teams made, unfortunately, I and they were part of that team," Clayton said
Ally stared at him,waiting for the real punch as Damien listened to him with Luke,
"She leads us to them, some of our team foolishly fought your friends and paid for it, one of them was killed by your brother, but Avalon left us alive," Clayton said
"Is that all?" Ally asked
"No, that woman is not alive," Clayton continued
Ally is taken aback by this, but Damien remembers a crash sit Marcello told him about, he wounder back then what it would mean in the future, well it seems to have been found but not by him,
"Maxine has been trying to keep it under wraps about her, and kept telling us to trust her,
but that woman, she's a threat to your friends back there," Clayton
Luke turned to Ally,
"Ally, what do you think?" Luke asked
Ally looked around her, eyes watching her, waiting for her answer, Ally felt energy calling her, telling her something and Luke felt the crystal heat up in his hand.
"We do what Avalon asked of us," Ally told them,
She turned to the people behind her and bold yelled,
"Are you prepared to take this base down,"
They cheered at Ally, making her feel the energy from this, she walked to Clayton and placed her hand on his shoulder,
"Go forward, show us the way to end this mob, I wouldn't want to be the person to tell them otherwise," Ally said
"This should be the way to his safe spot," Brielle told them,
Brielle walks in front of them, leaving Avalon and Marcello behind her,
Marcello watched the woman, glaring at her. Avalon noticed this and asked him,
"Marcello, why are you glaring at this woman?"
He watched the woman she stopped near a corner before walking past telling them to follow her, he glanced at Avalon,
"The man that grabbed my arm before he left, he…" Marcello said
"We're here," Breille briskly said
They stopped at the door, noticing a door panel next to it, Brielle went to it and starts to bypass the panel, she glanced at Avalon and a hidden bush showed not to Avalon's eye,
but Marcello noticed. Brielle opened the door as quickly for Marcello liking,
"There it's open, who wants to go in first?" Brielle said
Avalon pulls out her sword and walked in first, Marcello stopped next to Breille and said,
"You go first, I insist,"
"If you insist then," Breille said
She walked in before him, giving him a few glances, He walked in as well, finding the room with soft lighting shining upon large test tubes covered in clothes, Marcello kept looking around, finding a panel as he went by it, and was about to touch it before hearing Breille talking to Avalon,
"Avalon? Avalon, move away from what you don't know…"
Avalon pulled off the fabric covering one of the tubes, and what she saw started her,
a woman in water with hoses attached to her, and she twitched with red vines growing around her, Avalon went to the tube and looked at the panel in front of the glass, Marcello jogged to them and stood next to Avalon placing a hand on her arm, he took a glance at the tube but was more concentrated on Avalon care, he has seen it before.
"Avalon, are you alright? I know you're not with seeing this…" Marcello said.
Avalon cut him off by saying,
"It's a food source for him… I've seen this before, Marcello,"
"Where have you seen that?" Marcello asked
"This is how he makes his aura stronger by feeding off other people," Avalon said
Avalon went to the tube next to her and pulled off the fabric, and it shows a male half decaying in it, half of his scull is burnt with the red line moving through it, with this, the red is on most of the body, causing it to start disintegrating in front of them,
"He feeds off humans?" Marcello asked
"Yes feed off them and the aura takes their energy and makes it his own, making his master stronger," Avalon said
Brielle stood away from them, watching them, she moves slightly behind Marcello and stayed quiet not wanting to draw their attention, Avalon stood tall and looked away from them noticing Blake's energy drawing near them.
"He draws near," Avalon said
"Blake? Well then bring it on," Marcello said
A black mist moves over the room, reminding them of a past foe. the mist circles above them and screams erupted from it, making Avalon snarl at him. The mist above them vanished, making Blake appear above them,
Blake looked down at them until his eye languor on Avalon and then laid a painful smile,
"Have you come here for my destruction?" Blake asked
"Yes, we have," Avalon snared
Blake looked away from her, darkness filled his eye, his aura flared behind him and made Marcello step towards him aiming at him,
Blake scoffed at him and his eyes turned to behind him, then Blake's voice yelled out,
"Now!"
Brielle pulled out a knife and swiftly moved behind Marcello, catching him off guard, and he tries to move away in time, Brielle smirked, her knife inches away from Marcello's back.
"Did you think that I would let you hurt him in this way?" Avalon said
Blake shivers at her voice. He remembered how wrathful she can truly be,
Brielle felt a radiating heat come from her jacket, making it burn her. Brielle moved back and clutching her right side,
"You are wrong,"
