Chapter 9: The Pursuit
"I hope you all like my gift. Activate Dash..." Zeras muttered as his body blitzed forward in the next second appearing before a cage.
With lightning fast movement, Zeras swiped the card on the cage as it slowly opened but he was already on the fourth cage after that.
Blitzing around the place, he opened all the cages, releasing all the genetically modified beasts that are present within.
Zeras arrived at the last cage as he opened it when he suddenly felt powerful beastly snarls behind him.
Looking back, gigantic beasts could be seen, with the smallest about 2 metres in height. This were genetically modified beast which were more than three times stronger than they were before.
He saw them immediately close in on him as if wanting nothing but to rip him apart, causing Zeras's face to change as he hurriedly swiped the card on the iron gate immediately exiting the place while the gate shut down with a bang as sweat poured out from his face.
Right in front of him was a large claw severed by the gate's closing, no doubt dealing him a fatal damage if the gate had closed any sooner than it did.
"Phew, now I just need to wait here and let the beasts do their job." Zeras muttered with a mocking smirk as he sat down on the ground, waiting.
This was his plan all along, since he couldn't fight all the guards that will be deployed. Then he just simply released the beast who will kill anything on sight and they help him take care of the guard units.
Then he'll just snoop in at the end reaping the benefits of the slaughter that was about to happen.
"Pah, pah, pah, Vroom vroom..."the sound of bullets rang out in the next second as Zeras muttered to himself:
"It has begun."

25 figures, each armed to the teeth with guns and knifes and in durable mettalic armor all moved with co-ordinated speed to lab "4C".
Seeing the body of his team pile beneath his feet made him shudder as the thoughts of death filled his mind.
His team slowly fell one by one as he remained the only one left in less than twenty minutes and faced with two remaining beasts.
Shooting out a beam of destructive light, it accurately moved towards the beast's heart killing it on the spot, but trying to shoot the next one, he figured out the gun wouldn't shoot. It already ran out of energy.
"Shit.." he cursed as he immediately brought out a dagger from his pocket and held it tightly staring at the gigantic lion-like beasts.
A powerful face down occured between the two before they both pounced towards each other as the man fought bravely slashing around the beast body but he was also dealt damage as he was repeatedly slammed around by the beast's claw causing him to spurt out blood.
The battle was extremely brutal and crazy, but the man was unrelenting as even though suffering more damage, he went for a suicide attack as he allowed the modified lion to bite his shoulder while he used the opportunity to stab the lion at its chest as they both immediately separated.
The Lion-like beast delivered a painful roar as blood spilled out from its chest before collapsing on the ground, dead.
The man fell on his two knees as he breath out hardly no doubt one step into the grave.

Zeras felt the gun shooting slowly calmed down and eventually stopped. He waited for about thrity more minutes just to confirm everyone was really dead before swiping the card on the mettalic door and walking out.
Right in front if him was the dead body of beasts and humans with different part of the body reaped apart into different pieces and guts spilling everywhere, but he was shocked when he saw a man in his knees amidst the dead body.
His body was brutally disfigured with his entire arm torn off while all his armor had been ripped off him, with some part of his skull and ribs showing.
Walking towards the man, Zeras stared at him from about 3metres away.
Alex stared at the foe they were chasing after, and managed to reduce his entire squad into nothing without even fighting them physically at all, but he was shocked when he saw it was a kid who was no doubt under 18.
A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Zeras before muttering:
"To think, I, Alex Mercer, will fall to a kid. But for some strange reasons I'm very happy. You have limitless potential boy, I'll have died happily if I get to train you personally but unfortunately, you'll be dying too and soon come meet me in hell." The man said with a sinister smile as he slowly fell down on the ground with a thud, dead.
