Renji continues into the next hall to find Storm Shadow waiting for him,his sword drenched in blood
Storm Shadow removing his mask said"I have score to settle with you."
Renji with smirk asked"You think,you can go against master.Just because you were trained by him."
They spring at other meeting in the middle of the hallway as sparks fly. Their weapons ring out a frenzied drum roll of steel on steel. Neither giving an inch. Evenly matched in skill and ferocity. Locking together for a moment.
Storm shadow sweat pouring as he strains, attacks, defends and attacks again.
Both quickly jumps away,while Storm Shadow drops his blade and take out his Kusarigama.
Renji laughed and said"Your brother favorite weapon."
Renji jumps over them, twists mid-air and ducks low beneath Storm Shadow's swinging chain as
he stumbles back on the polished floor, blocking the swings attack, but Storm shadow gets a loop of chain around the blade and locks it tight. Both men spin in their sudden embrace,faces inches from each other.
Renji seeing the fight Isn't as easy as he thought it would be yelled in anger"I should have killed you,when I had the chance."
Renji's finger trips a hidden button on the sword.
The blade retracts back through the handle and a yard of steel jolts out from the hilt of his sword. He moves to slam it into Storm shadow's side...but Storm shadow flips over him, holding onto the hilt and as he lands he drives the steel into Renji's heart,who looked shocked by thr outscome.
Renji slowly stumbles back and falls over the edge of the Shaft and down into the freezing turgid waters.
Storm Shadow quickly run and looks down the Shaft to find freezing water.he narrows his eyes and looks down to see if he surfaces... He doesn't
Storm Shadow wasn't sure,if tell bastard was alive or not,but didn't have the time to check.
While on thr outside the Joe craft SHARC's desperately weave and dodging incoming enemy.The battle was raging on with other enemy driving Mantis Attack Crafts were submersible vehicles.
Inside Anna,Kage and Giselle were making there towards McCullen and the Doctor.The whole thing was getting more and more tense by the minute.
When they rushed into so called Lab they saw McCullen with Doctor and another person he was slightly old male he had his lower face covered with some sort of mask.
Kage noticed The Doctor seems to not move and was standing like some sort of robot,that when it clicked he was under nanomites control.
The stranger with raspy voice said"Welcome Ana and Kage,we have been waiting for you."
Kage was confused asked"Who are you?"
The stranger with amusement replied"I am the Doctor Mindbender,the former head of Nanomites projects at M.A.R.S. Industries,I worked with James McCullen."
Kage didn't know want to think questioned"You should be dead?"
The person now revealed as Mindbender nodded and answered"Yes,I was supposed to the die with with Ana's brother Rex Lewis."with that he removed the mask of the Doctor,it shocked Ana and Mage.The Doctor was none other than Rex.
Doctor Mindbender explained"Rex and I survived the blast,but even though he was curious about Nano technology, his love for his sister got the best of him and at the time he was already my proxy,I had found a technology to transfer by consciousness into Rex,
I knew if I needed to further my research I need to be an unknown and no one should question where this research came from this technology was something created by me to did cause certain issues.But that was small price to pay.Also don't worry Rex was able to see everything from my mind,he is just locked inside himself."
[A/N:I thought of making Cobra commander some sort of immortal person through mind transfer tech.]
Kage was angered by this said" You sick bastard... you made Rex do that to his own sister? "
The real Doctor with grin said"I created this Nano technology not our enemy. In fact,I was hired by our very own government to create it. When it was deemed too unethical, they sent people to kill him.I almost didn't survive the blast.But Rex here wanted to return to his sister,which is something I couldn't allow as he was important to me.You see I needed his body to move unnoticed.But now I've perfected it."
Ana was angered hearing about everything this bastard did to her brother.But thankfully Giselle made sure to calm her down.
Gisele questioned"Why work for McCullen?"
The Doctor Mindbender shrugged and replied"He saved my life, for starters. Now to mention infinite resources to work in the field of my choosing."
Kage called it out"That's bullshit."
The Doctor Mindbender simply said"You can't play nice with science, Kage. It's sometimes necessary to experiment, to fail, even to destroy to attain a goal. It's a fact that McCullen has the guts to embrace."
The Doctor Minderbender lifts his PDA, finger on the "TERMINATE" button.
The Doctor continued"If I press this,Rex dies.Everyone put your weapons down.Your choice,Put it down!"
Rex who was standing their emotionless was able to get control of himself for a second and tried to push him causing him to drop the PDA.Which Kage quickly caught,while the Doctor with his raspy voice in shock said"I didn't think it could. I've never seen anyone defeat the programming, even momentarily.
McCullen was discreetly drawing steel hose out from his sleeve.McCullen suddenly lifts the steel hose in his right hand-A burst of flame tears out at everyone,but Ana reflexively fires the pulse pistol at it. The intense air blast from the pulse pistol catches the flames midway between them and blows them back onto McCullen. McCullen screams as his face is literally burned off. The Doctor freaks and drops the PDA, then yanks McCullen out into the way.
