Chapter 10 - Chapter 7 - Infiltration

Some security guards are currently sipping on their coffees as they check the cameras as they do everyday. When suddenly,

PFFFFFFFFFFFFTT

A security guard spits out his coffee as he sees a random man standing outside the gate of the military base where they're working,

"What the hell? Who is that guy, how'd they get in!?", they ask themselves in shock as they immediately set the alarms and signals.

Meanwhile, Gavin stands outside in the rain, looking around trying to find a way in looking like an idiot, when suddenly, the alarms go off, as Gavin starts to panic. He starts running around, looking for a place to hide, when turrets on the rooftops start to appear, as they begin shooting at Gavin, Gavin's peripheral vision quickly catches this, as he quickly begins to run, dodging every bullet in his way. He eventually manages to find a crack on the wall, taking advantage of it as he begins to climb the wall, still dodging bullets as he pulls off some inhuman moves while on the wall trying to dodge.

The security guards catch all this as they begin to record all this,

"What the fuck is this guy, spider man or something!?", they ask themselves in shock as they watch Gavin easily ascending the wall.

Gavin then quickly runs to one of the turrets, getting behind it and quickly manipulating it to shoot the other turrets instead, as he quickly takes down all sources of danger. He then quickly takes out the last one by pulling out its wires, causing it to deactivate. Gavin quickly catches his breath, when suddenly, the sounds of soldiers can be heard below. Gavin looks down to see a platoon of patrol soldiers below, already on their way to look for Gavin, as helicopters and drones are already flying above looking for him, he quickly begins to hide as he tries to avoid the sights of the flying sentry units.

Gavin walks back, looking for a place to hide while keeping an eye on the flying drones and helicopters, when he accidentally falls back into a ventilation system, as he lands, he makes a loud bang, causing the soldiers inside to immediately be alert, aiming their guns everywhere they can, looking around to find the source of the sound, but eventually giving up as they find nothing. Meanwhile, Gavin lays in the vent, covering his mouth, trying his best not to make a sound as he prays for his life. After a bit, Gavin eventually lets go to take a breath, as he makes his way through the ventilation system.

Eventually, Gavin ends up in what seems to be a janitor's closet, as he quickly gets down from the vent. He gets up and fixes himself, closing the vent just in case, as he looks around to make sure of his surroundings, before making a plan of what to do next.

After a few minutes, Gavin walks out of the closet, now dressed up as one of the janitors as he begins to explore the base, whistling and pretending to clean casually as he looks around. As he goes around, some soldiers pass by him, as Gavin quickly hides his face,

"Yo, Willis! Didn't know you were here... Thought you were sent to another kingdom or something", one of the soldiers greet Gavin, as they seem to know the person he's currently impersonating,

"cough Oh, yeah, about that, I actually changed my mind and decided to stay, hehe...", he says awkwardly, trying to act casual as he goes back to pretending to clean as he whistles and walks away,

"Oh, uh... O-okay, dude...", the soldiers reply awkwardly as they also walk away, when they then pull out a radio phone, "We've found the intruder... Located in Section B Hallway 1, over", they report as they quickly turn back to chase after the man.

Gavin quickly realizes he's being chased, as he quickly begins to run. The soldiers chasing after him immediately pull out their guns as they try to aim and fire. Gavin manages to dodge every bullet that comes in his way, as he continues to run away from them.

Eventually, he manages to get out of their sight, as he then hides behind a wall pillar, as the soldiers pass by, Gavin quickly uses his arm as an obstacle, as Gavin manages to lock one of the soldiers in a headlock. The other soldier tries to aim and shoot at him, but Gavin uses the other soldier as a human shield, which makes the other soldier hesitate a bit. Gavin then takes this chance as he immediately breaks the soldier's neck, before tackling the other one and punching him until he's knocked out.

Gavin then gets up, panting in exhaustion after what just happened, as he looks down at the bodies of the people he just took out. He then hears more soldiers coming in, as he quickly takes one of the soldiers' key card and ID card for later. He then makes a quick escape through a vent above, barely managing to avoid the incoming soldiers' sights as he shuts the vent door.

Gavin begins to crawl through the vents once again, as alarms continue to sound in the areas around him, as he watches from the vents above as soldiers are now all over the building trying to search for him.

Meanwhile, back in Courtney's cell, she's still chained up, now all beat up, bleeding and bruised in her entire body, covered in burn marks as well as her clothes are also torn. Suddenly, the alarms sound, as an announcement is heard,

"Attention to all soldiers in the facility, an intruder has been identified, please report any suspicious person or activities ASAP", the announcement explains, which causes all the guards to be alarmed as they all leave the prisoners alone.

Courtney also hears this, as she has a feeling that she knows who it might be, and she prays that she's right, as she continues to kneel in her shackles, crying and sobbing heavily that Gavin will come for her...

Meanwhile, Gavin gets down from the vents once again, as he manages to break into the security office. The guards see him as they begin to panic, they try to make another alarm and announcement, but Gavin quickly takes care of them, beating them up and knocking them unconscious, as he then takes their key cards and ID cards as well. He then takes the time to look through the maps and cameras, trying and hoping that he finds where Courtney is being kept.

Eventually, he manages to find where the prison area is, and quickly locates it on the map, as he takes note and memorizes where it is, before preparing to go out once again. Gavin takes their uniform and puts it on, as he then uses the key cards to unlock the security room doors, which are apparently also locked on the inside. He then exits the room, to immediately see hundreds of soldiers in groups marching through, just to find the intruder,

"Jeez... Talk about an overreaction, is the shit here really that important...? Ahh what the fuck am I saying, of course it is, I'm in a military... A government facility!", Gavin thinks to himself as he hides his face, walking through the crowds casually,

"D-don't mind me guys, I'm just going on a coffee break... Go find that intruder!... Hehe...", he says nervously as he somehow manages to make it through the crowd of soldiers,

"Tsk... That idiot is always going on coffee breaks, even at a time like this!", one of the soldiers say with a scoff, as they point out the bad aspects of the security guard, who Gavin is impersonating,

"Yeah, I don't even get why he works here? He barely does shit! And I don't get why he isn't fired...", another soldier continues as they continue to converse, distracting themselves even more, as meanwhile, Gavin continues to make his way through the military facility, towards the prison area as he gets ready to finally free his one and only love.

Meanwhile, in a huge, old mansion, the general is seen sleeping in his bed, as suddenly, his phone rings. The general gets pissed, as he immediately destroys his phone, smashing it to bits along with his nightstand,

"Goddammit... Let me have some fucking sleep for once...", he mutters as he goes back to sleep

Suddenly, another one of his phones ring, as he immediately covers his ears with some pillows and a blanket, then one of his telephones in the other room, then his radio phone starts to static,

"...Sssir...ssir...uurgentt newsss...", the radio phone statics as the people on the other end try to contact the general.

Eventually, the general gets up and angrily stomps over to his radio phone, as he grabs it and answers,

"WHAT!?", he shouts angrily with his lungs as he answers the radio, almost crushing it immediately,

"Sssir... S-sir... There's an intruder at base, it looks like...", the call continues, but the first word is already enough to infuriate the general, as his face immediately turns red with rage, his eyes burning as steam blows out his nose, or smoke, since he's literally lava.

The general destroys the radio phone, as he immediately and quickly makes his way to the military base, not taking the time to get in his expensive, fancy and exotic car, instead he uses it as a jump pad, as he launches himself into the air, destroying the car as he flies in his lava form towards the military base, only thoughts of rage and destruction on his mind as he continues flying over,

"How dare someone weak even have the balls to infiltrate MY domain, I'm gonna kill that man... I'm gonna kill everyone!", he thinks to himself angrily, gritting his teeth as he continues making his way over.

Back at the military base, Gavin finally makes it over to the prison area, which weirdly has no one guarding it, as he then sees the heavily locked, near-invincible metal gate.

"What the fuck... This thing has like, 5 locks, a passcode, handprint requirement, and two keycard and ID card requirements... Perfect", he says with a sly smile, as he pulls out his multitool,

"Finally, I get to use this... Looks like I didn't waste money after all", he says jokingly to himself, as he begins to unlock the locks, which are somehow just normal locks, despite being in such a high-security place. He then moves on to the ID and key card requirements,

"Damn, two for each... Absolutely perfect", he then pulls out the ID and key cards he took from the soldier and the security guard, as he quickly finishes that,

"And done... Now two more problems... Handprint and passcode, hmm...", he says to himself, as he decides to start with the passcode,

"Alright, so it looks like it's 4 digits, I guess we'll have to go trial and error, assuming that those soldiers don't get here by then...", he says as he begins to think,

"Alright, let's start with the easy, most obvious ones... 1234?", he says jokingly, since there's no way that such a simple code could be used in a place like this...

BEEP

The passcode turns green, as it is accepted,

"...what", Gavin is in shock, disbelief and confusion, "What the actual hell?", he asks himself, wondering how this military base is still up like this. He then just shakes his head, as he moves on to the last thing in his way, the handprint,

"Damn, where am I gonna get someone's handprint...", he thinks to himself, as he rubs his chin, thinking of what to do to deal with this. When he rememberer,

"What a goddamn minute, I'm wearing someone else's uniform... And it has gloves!", he says, as he then removes the gloves, turning it inside out as he starts to apply the glove over and over to the scanner, praying it eventually gets accepted and it doesn't go into a suspicion lock. When eventually,

BEEP

Once again, the scanner turns green as the handprint is accepted, as the heavy door finally opens. Gavin sighs in relief, as he falls to his knees, happy that he finally made it through,

"Yes... Finally, Courtney, don't you worry any longer, I'm on my way...", he says with a determined tone as he enters the doorway, shutting it close in case anyone manages to get back.

He then runs through the hallway, as he reaches a corridor, holding doors leading to different other hallways, as he makes his way through,

"Courtney! Courtney!", he starts to yell through the different doorways leading to the different corridors.

Meanwhile, Courtney continues sobbing in her cell, still hoping that she'll one day get out of there, when suddenly, she hears a faint, but familiar voice, shouting in the halls...

Courtney! Courtney!

It can barely be heard, but can be heard just enough to be understood. Courtney immediately tries to go towards the voice, but once again can't, as she's chained to the wall, with no way to break free. Courtney continues to pull, as she starts to scream back,

"I'm here, I'm here!", she yells as her voice echoes through the halls.

The sound continues to bounce off the dark walls of each hallway, as it goes through the awfully dangerous, yet quiet hallways of the prison, eventually reaching Gavin. Gavin also hears the voice, as he begins to chase after it,

"Courtney! It's me, Gavin, I'm here to help!", he yells as he starts to run through the halls,

"Gavin? Gavin! Come here quickly! I'm here, just follow my voice!", Courtney yells back as she begins to guide Gavin through the halls.

Gavin starts to run to different doorways, screaming through each one,

"Courtney!!", he yells each time as he then waits for an answer,

"I'm here!", Courtney would reply, as Gavin would notice it's not there, as he leaves to continue following the voice. They continue the same process over and over again, until eventually, Gavin hears one of Courtney's replies in one of the doorways,

"I'm here, I'm here!", she yells, as Gavin unlocks the door with his multitool, he then opens it to see the long, empty hallway of darkness, holding more doors that lead to the cells of different prisoners and criminals,

"Courtney, are you here!?", Gavin yells through the hall as he once again waits for a reply,

"Yes, I'm here!", she replies, as Gavin goes over to the cell where the voice is heard,

"Courtney! Oh, I'm so glad... I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?", he says to her reassuringly as he begins to unlock the cell door,

"Yes... Open it... Free me...", the voice suddenly starts to distort into a more deep and creepy one, as Gavin realizes something is wrong,

"C-Courtney...?", he asks as he stops unlocking the door, as the man inside the cell door starts to growl,

"WHY DID YOU STOP!? C'MON, UNLOCK THE DOOR AND FREE ME!", the man inside shouts, causing Gavin to fall back, as the man starts to laugh,

"Hahahaha! You really thought I was your little girlfriend?", he says with a grin as he chuckles, "I am everyone, boy...", the man says with a shifter voice, now sounding like Courtney, as Gavin crawls back in fear.

"I'm your girlfriend, I'm you, I'm the general, I'm that one soldier, I'm even Johnny Sins!", he says as he continues to shift his voice into multiple different people. It seems that the man has a voice mimicking power, with the power to mimic anyone's voice perfectly as long as he's heard of them before, as he continues to laugh and cackle as he makes fun of the boy,

"Listen, boy... In prison, we criminals, we're dangerous... Of course... And we will take any chance to escape, especially from this hellhole. I'm just reminding you that prison is not a good place to be...", he says, as all the other criminals also cheer and laugh, as Gavin starts to panic in fear. Gavin quickly gets up and begins to run, as the other criminals reach their hands out to try and catch and grab Gavin,

"That's right boy! Run, run away, run from the place you'll never be able to escape!", the criminal says in Courtney's voice, as he chuckles and laughs like a demon.

Gavin eventually makes it out of there, closing the door shut as he falls to the floor, panting heavily in fear, panic and exhaustion, the cheers and cackles of all the criminals still hearable behind the door...

"Gavin, are you there!? Where are you!", Courtney still continues to call for Gavin, as Gavin snaps back into reality. He wipes off some sweat, before taking a deep breath and going back to what he was doing, as he runs through the halls, shouting,

"Don't worry, I'm still here, Courtney!".

Meanwhile, the military soldiers all around the base had finished clearing the entire base, as they stands outside, confused, still unable to find the intruder.

"Where the hell is this guy!?", they ask each other in confusion,

"Yeah, we've checked all over, and we just cleared the more unchecked areas like the vents and the pipelines", another soldier says as they continue to panic in confusion.

Suddenly, a huge meteorite looking object crashes outside the base, causing a huge explosion. All of the soldiers immediately come out to check on it, as they point their guns at it, before immediately putting them away, as they salute in fear, as the general has finally arrived. The general walks towards the military base, as his body starts to reform from a blob of lava back into his human form,

"Where is he?", he asks angrily, grumbling as he looks around at the crowd of soldiers, who're all already looking very nervous as they look at each other,

"So!?", the general starts to yell angrily,

"We don't know sir...", a soldier replies, finally breaking the silence between the soldiers, as they immediately make way to the soldier who said it, as he gulps in fear,

"What...?", the general replies, asking him with a pissed off tone, "Did I hear that right?", he says as he starts to walk slowly towards the soldier, each heavy step burning the grass below as he does.

The soldier then starts to tremble, as the general makes his way towards him, he continues to stand his ground as he continues,

"Well, sir, general, sir... We've tried countlessly searching every inch, nook and cranny of the facility, but he's nowhere to be found!", the soldier exclaims, as the general stands in front of him, looking down at him as he attempts to intimidate him, but the soldier stands his ground, pissing him off.

"Are you talking back against me?", the general asks him angrily,

"Wha-, n-no sir! I'm just trying to say-", the soldier tries to explain but the general cuts him off,

"You dare, disrespect, ME!", the general shouts angrily at the soldier as they argue,

"B-but sir!", the soldier exclaims one more time, before the general then puts his hand over his head,

"SILENCE!", he shouts as he uses Aura Release, knocking down every soldier around him, as he then crushes the soldier's head with only his hand, killing the poor guy.

The general then scoffs, as he wipes away the blood from his hands,

"Ugh, disgusting... You see men, this is what happens to those who disrespect, and talk back against ME!", the general shouts at all the men, as they only stand there in silence,

"Now then... Tell me, where, Is, THAT, INTRUDER!?", the general shouts, asking one more time to all of the men, who only continue to stand there in silence out of fear, which only pisses off the general even more.

"Oh, so that's how it is... FINE THEN!", the general says in annoyance, as he scoffs, turning away as he decides to hold back for once. He then stomps away into the building, deciding to find the intruder himself,

"Now then... I'll need one of you guys to accompany me inside, are any of you able to do that?", he asks the soldiers, but yet, they still decide to stay silent, which finally strikes the last nerve.

The general then screams angrily as he throws a tantrum, as he then throws a lava attack at one of the soldiers, hitting them right in the head as their faces are melted and burned to death.

"I SAID, WILL ANYONE COME WITH ME INSIDE!?", the general yells angrily at all the men, as they quickly stand straight and salute,

"SIR, YES, SIR!", all the soldiers reply out of fear, as they switch back to their default setting and immediately follow the general's instructions with fear.

Dozens of soldiers then follow behind the general, as they enter the military base once again, to find that intruder.

Meanwhile, back at the prison area, Gavin continues to follow Courtney's voice,

"Baby? You still there?", he continues to call through each door,

"Yes, Gavin, you're almost here!, Courtney replies, as Gavin goes ahead and continues to follow the voice down the hall.

Until eventually, Gavin arrives at the last door,

"This has to be it... It just has to be...", he says to himself, panting out of exhaustion after running and calling for so long.

As Gavin opens the door, he once again goes through the dark hall, where various different criminals and prisoners sit in their cell, glaring at him as he passes by.

"Courtney!", Gavin shouts one more time...

"Gavin! Is that you?", Courtney's voice can be heard loud and clear at the end of the hall,

"Courtney!", Gavin shouts, a smile slowly showing on his face as he starts to run,

"Gavin!", Courtney shouts back, tearing up in joy as she smiles happily, as she sees Gavin running up to her cell.

Gavin finally arrives at Courtney's cell, as he falls to his knees in front of the bars, while Courtney also tries to get as close to the bars as she can,

"Courtney, baby! I thought I'd never see you again...", Gavin begins to tear up as well, as he reaches in to cup Courtney's cheek, caressing her face gently as he wipes her tears,

"Yeah... sniffles Me too...", Courtney replies as she sobs, crying as she saw her boyfriend for the first time in a long time,

"I've waited for you... It's been a month, yet I kept waiting, and I'm glad I did...", Courtney says with a smile on her face, sniffling as her tears slowly vanish, "I miss you so much, Gavin... I love you... so much...", she says softly as she once again begins to sob.

Gavin then gets up, as he looks for the cell door, quickly unlocking the triple locked cell with the handprint, the multitool, and the key card, as Gavin enters the cell and hugs Courtney tightly,

"There, there, I'm here now, baby... Don't you worry...", Gavin says with a soft, reassuring voice to Courtney as he holds her tightly, her face buried in his chest as she sobs all of her pain out, as Gavin gives her soft, gentle, endearing kisses on the head.

After a bit, Gavin goes ahead and focuses his attention to the chains on Courtney's wrists,

"Now c'mon... Let's get you out of here, shall we?", Gavin says with a smile, as he unlocks the chains and shackles keeping Courtney's powers sealed, as she is finally capable of using her powers once again, as she then blasts away the cell bars and door,

"Finally... After so long!", Courtney says excitedly, feeling great after finally getting her powers back, no longer feeling like the weakling that she just was and once was, as Gavin stands there, watching her proudly as she becomes happy again for the first time in a while.

The other prisoners around them are shocked and in awe, as they watch Courtney escape for the first time,

"Woah... She did it, she actually did it, the first prisoner to escape here, ever!", a prisoner cheers, as all the other prisoners around them cheer as well.

Courtney and Gavin then walk out of their cell, as the prisoners around them applaud them and cheer for them, when suddenly, the door at the end of the hall can be heard opening, as the sounds of men rushing in can be heard. And there they appear, a dozen men, pointing their guns at Gavin and Courtney,

"Freeze! Put your hands in the air, and don't move, or we will fire!", the soldier in the front apprehends them, as Gavin and Courtney follow as planned.

All the prisoners around them start to boo the soldiers, as they throw whatever they have at them,

"Silence!", a soldier shouts as they fire their guns, at a few of them, injuring or killing a few as they do.

"Back to you guys... Y'all better stand down, or we will fire!", the soldier warns them once again, as Gavin and Courtney only look at each other and grin,

"You ready for this?", Gavin says to Courtney, as she only smiles excitedly,

"Hell yeah...", she replies, as they both turn back to the soldiers, as they prepare for one hell of a jailbreak.
