Chapter 50 - Ljuska

Ada quickly dives away from the door into the prison as something comes crashing down, digging into the building. She turns around to see some guy in torn up prisoner's clothing. Both their forearms are gone, being replaced by large blades made of bones. The skin is gone around it is gone, the exposed muscle pulsating and dark shades of red and purple. A crater in their ċhėst exposes their beating heart.

"How in the hell did he you make you?" Ada mutters to herself as she grabs her gun. Ljuska makes a muffled grunt and puts its blade arms to its sides as if angered by her comment. Not wasting anytime, Ada shoots at Ljuska in the heart. It quickly reacts, bringing up its arms to shield itself, however one bullet managed to hit, causing it to step back. Ada goes to shoot its head, and Ljuska raises its arms. She quickly shoots one of its feet and it tilts forward a bit as it almost loses its balance. Out of bullets, she quickly backs up as she reloads her gun.

Ljuska takes this chance to go on the offensive, suddenly charging at her with, closing the gap between them in seconds. It jumps up, lunging its right arm at her. Ada dives to the side, bȧrėly avoiding it. She quickly falls back down onto the ground to avoid its second slash. She rolls to the left as it plunges its right arm down. As it tries to free its arm from the ground Ada reloads. She grabs a flash from her bag and chucks it towards Ljuska. It rolls between its feet and goes off, blinding the creature as it pulls its arm free. It stumbles around, flailing about its arm wildly. Ada aims carefully, before shooting at its heart.

Ljuska stumbles back a bit, Ada taking another shot. It falls to the ground, completely motionless. Ada carefully walks up to it to get a better look and make sure its dead. As she steps within a few feet of it, it suddenly jumps up, slashing at her. She does a backflip to avoid getting her legs cut up and quickly unloads the rest of her clip on it when she lands to keep it from charging at her.

"Smarter than Krauser, I'll give you that much," She comments. She reaches into her bag to grab her knife as she drops the empty clip from her gun. As she hoped, Ljuska comes once more attacks her. It swings its left blade at her which she avoids by jumping back, the space between her and the wall closing in. It swings at her with its right and she ducks. Its blade hits the wall, digging into it. She quickly rolls to the side as it thrusts its left blade at her. Both arms stucks, Ada goes behind it and puts her right arm over its shoulder, plunging her knife into its heart. She keeps stabbing it over and over, until Ljuska breaks free, the force causing her to fall backwards onto the ground.

Ljuska turns to her, knife still in its heart, before promptly falling to its knees then face first into the ground, the knife digging deeper into it.

"I take it back," Ada says as she gets up and catches her breath, "You're just as dumb as Krauser," Before she heads back inside the prison, she gets an alert on her phone.

"WARNING: POWER PLANT OVERHEATING. THIRTY MINUTES UNTIL MELTDOWN EVACUATE THE LAB IMMEDIATELY"

Just great.

Ada puts her phone away and heads back into the prison. She heads for the office, hoping to find something that could get her off the island. Opening the doors she's greeted by a nȧkėd Derek.
