Sakura's POV
NO!! *Raised by my hands to erect a barrier to block the Energy blasts.*
Sakura Song, Age 22, Female, has a PSI-Level of 5. Her skills are Scouting, Advanced hand to hand combat, Versatility, Telekinesis. Her weapon Specialty is Pistols, Rifles, anything that dual-wielded with one-hand. Her PSI Power is Spacekinesis. Her roles on the team are Scout (Exploration), Powerhouse (Intense combat), and Juggernaut (Tank).
I need... to keep the barrier up, that AI... although its mission is to stop us from leaving this station because we are infected. That does not mean we will stand by and let it kill us. The team fired at the drones while I continued to erect the gravitational barrier; we needed to get out of the area and fast. I concentrated the energy from my barrier and push it back toward a group heading our way, but more are coming this way.
"There are too many drones swarming around us!" Mark said while firing at two drones.
"From the stars the above..." Jenny-chan tore open a wormhole into the stars. "My eyes gaze upon the sea that it goes from..." her voice increasing in rising tension. "As the big dipper comes to us from the ocean that swam from into it world itself!" That is our cue to be ready to be out of the area. "LET US RIDE TO THE SEA OF STARS!!" she shouted as we teleport out of the area.
Breather
After taking a deep breath. I went to the doctor and asked her: What were you thinking?! Why did you say no, you were safe from the AI Targeting protocol and you are...
I've looked at her with her smile on her face as she is no stranger to danger. Perhaps her stories aren't farfetched. Still... It will be a matter of time before the A.I. finds us again, we must be ready for the storm, I enter a PSI trance to steady my mind for the battles ahead.
"Sakura... I-"
"Please, understand that you could have just returned the data," I said, speaking to her in my thoughts, I am a mute but I can speak my mind via my thoughts if needed. "But now your privileges have been revoked, and without that, we can't go any further."
"I'm alright with that, you forget I can hack into security programs when needed." she responded.
"Okay, Lady, why didn't you tell me about the AI trying to kill us sooner?" Mark said while grabbing her collar.
Mille headbutts and disarms him of his weapon recoiling from the impact.
"First off, I didn't know! Second, I am trying to help you and you are wasting time that you should use to move to the 2nd floor.' she said, keeping his weapon trained on him." I know a place where you can talk freely, but you need to-" she choked as she grabbed her throat.
"First off, you got guts to headbutt me in the face." he said as he recovers from her butting him in the head."But you didn't tell me about the Hazmat suits. You trying to set us up for getting killed?!"
"Dad... that is enough!" Skip said, but Mark remained focused on Millie, intending to kill her. "I said... THAT IS ENOUGH!!" he fired an energy bolt.
"Oh! Gonna try to fry your old man now, huh?!" he blocked the bolt with his hand. "Feeling like a man, huh?!" he gets closer to Skip, who stood his ground.
I stand there watching the two of them, standing off against each other, but this is not the time to be fighting among each other. As I was getting ready to step in...
"Huh? You want to be a tough guy, you son of a bitch?" he shouted in his face. "You going to stand there like -"
"Enough, man! We need to focus here!" Joe suddenly got in his face. "Your son is tough, I'm cool with you getting all riled and pissed, but this is ain't the time to fight each other."
"He is right, we have an AI trying to kill us for being infected, an infected talking to us about joining them for god knows what and you trying to fight your own son?!" Jenny stands to his face.
I stood there reminding him: This is not the time to fight among each other, if we do, we might as well let the AI kill us all already since you have a dangerous habit of letting your temper getting the best of you. You are our leader. We need a cool head right now.
I glowed in PSI energy; it radiated through my body and craned my neck: I would prefer not to step in and crush you, Boss or not. We need to stay alive, save the fighting when we will not die here in this place.
Mark realized that he almost lost his head by venting his rage at Millie. He regrets that he almost started a fight with his teammates. Before we can say anything, we heard an announcement.
"Intruders are in Hall A-7, Spread out, and end the Infected," AI said.
The AI found us... Here they come.
"Defensive Formation, Team!" Mark said as we headed into our formation.
With the enemy coming in huge numbers, my telekinesis was far more powerful than the others, second to Jenny. Manipulating Gravity allowed us to take shots at the drones, but I am seeing them adaptable to our tactics in rapid session.
"ADAPTING... ANTI-GRAVITY PULL ACTIVATED," one of them stated.
Even stopping them with Gravity will not work, forcing me to make myself dense where I can hit harder to turn them into scrap metal. Skip took as many shots as he could while focused on staying alive, I gravitated toward the ceiling, I can freely move with the power of Space, shooting, levitating, or slamming drones on the ground. However, I can feel that I am hitting my limits, my nose is bleeding.
"Sakura... Hold on!" as Jenny-chan blasted the enemy with an array of magical spells. "With the sweetness of cane sugar... Pour freshwater... Let the Bubbles burst with joy... Let the soda REENERGIZE!!" she said as she called forth soda and threw it out the enemy like it was a hockey puck and return to its owner. "Cherry pop! Quick, take a sip!" I caught the soda, and I quickly took a sip of the soda, it ... it is good which also it replenishes my energy, allowing me to keep going like I been well-rested.
"Ladies, we need to end this now, we cannot fight them off here!" Boss barked at me. "Jenny, Sakura! Send these fuckers packing!"
With no hesitation, we both stomp the ground with such intensity that debris flew off.
"From the earth that made you, from the dust that you came!" I held them in place while Jenny distorts reality." Come from the queen that gives you nectar... Come to the queen that needs you now!" I saw that she was sending a swarm of ... Arciat Bees?! These things can melt through metals, and their poisons are very lethal to humans. "Go! Spread forth throughout the 1st floor. Destroy my enemies and nest inside their metal & wire! GO NOW!" she commands them to attack the drones.
It'll buy some time before the AI adapts. Before I left, I noticed some nanobots pouring out into one drone and making 2 more of them in its place.
"Mark, we must hurry while those bees keep the drones busy. It won't last for long, A.D.P.E.N can adapt to each situation." Millie urged him.
"To where?" he asked.
"2nd Floor. Workman's quarters." We all followed her to the 2nd floor.
As predicated, A.D.P.E.N had already adapted to the bees and began slaughtering them like fly swatters. We arrived on the 2nd floor and headed quickly to the Workman's quarters. Jenny this time made the room resistant to everything.
"Oh, mighty river..." she danced and claps her hands. "Come, let us part ways... open the way to the ancient sea below, the heart of the endless river of time, let it stream forth!!" she is dancing harder like a ballerina. "Go now, go back... IT MATTER NOT! As the river falls..." I heard a flood sweeping throughout the 1st floor and the 2nd floor, "Tear down the walls ... LET THE RIVER FLOW AGAIN!!"
As soon as she finished those words, the floods swept through the area. And below, we can hear from the door.
"Guys, the flood is up, let's see if that bitch can adapt to that!" she said as she got up. "Although, I am not sure how long it will stay that way."
"Everyone, we have a plan on dealing with the AI," Millie said.
"Our plan?" Mark asked.
"Yes!" she states it bluntly.
"Hey everyone! Check this out." Skip showed the information he got on the data-pad.
