《The Roseguard's Odyssey: The tale of the hunted》Chapter 72 - Chimera Trading Company - Part 4

"Where is our backup!" Suvorian roared, "Someone message Treese and tell him to send more men here now!"
All of them suddenly felt a large explosion coming from the outside. All the doctors and nurses panicked as they looked out the window to see a masked assailant annihilate three full companies of guards and a fully armored convoy. "Where did that thing come from?"
"The guards said it came out of the chemical vats."
"Which one?" Suvorian approached the nurse who spoke. "Which one?!"
"From the venom vats, Doctor."
"Captain Brody, tell your men to get the chemical tranquillizer guns and fill them with suppressor sedatives in the next room! Sonny, connect the fire suppressant systems to the sedative tank! The water will make it less potent, but it should saturate the area and affect the attacker long enough for the captain to take it down!"
Everyone did as they were told and once the scientists finished connecting the tank, they turned on the fire system, and the whole interior of the compound was drenched with the sedative. The guards set up another firing line inside and prepared an ambush against the attacker.
Aysha ran inside and passed by them all as she told the guards the attacker was coming. They ushered her upstairs to where the rest of the scientists were, then turned off the lights and waited in darkness. When the masked killer came in, the sedative was still pouring out of the sprinklers, and slowly it started to take effect. The attacker’s skin, which was bright red, began to cool down, and Captain Brody fired his tranquillizer dart straight at it.
He was surprised when the dart landed on the attacker’s skin and let out a loud scream of pain.

"It’s vulnerable! Pour it on him!"
Every single one of them fired and landed darts all over the attacker. The darts stood on its skin like quills as it roared and screamed in pain. It started to work, but not fast enough, as it still had the energy to rip them apart and kill every single guard in the room.
Brody fired five more darts straight into the attacker’s chest and arms, but it still managed to get close to him, grab him by the neck and crack his windpipe, killing him. It roared in anger when it finished killing every single guard on the lower floor.

Suvorian and the nurses heard a loud roar coming from the floor below them. There were forty people in the room, and ten of them were guards armed with the chemical guns as well. They barricaded the door once Aysha ran in and set up their last defensive line behind it.
"Something is wrong." Suvorian said. "I can’t hear anything."
Suddenly, the door was rammed, causing the barricade to buckle. The scientists huddled as the guards tightened their grip on their guns. It was rammed repeatedly while the scientists tried to find another exit off the second floor but found that they were trapped. One tried to jump off the building, but it was too high and he only killed himself as he fell.
The door burst open, and the masked murderer came in. The attacker was covered in darts and charged at the guards who held their ground. It started to slow down as the effects of the sedative finally kicked in, and the guards noticed this as well. They repeatedly fired more darts into the attacker, which finally seemed to stop it in its tracks.

Elizabeth was still bound to the steel bed. She watched as all the doctors and nurses panicked around her as they barricaded the door. It was rammed from the outside, and when it finally broke open, she saw it.

Elizabeth will never forget the masked murderer that killed Jasper and Kinney.
She remembered the mask that was shaped like a human skull with sharp fangs instead of teeth and eyes that were darker than coal, with its head crowned with two horns. It was the one who killed Jasper and Kinney, and now it is here to kill her.
The child screamed with all the strength she had.

Luna almost regained her senses. Her body was incredibly stiff and even walking alone burned her mind and muscles. The moment she rammed through the door, all her senses painfully surged into her. When she saw Elizabeth in the middle of the room, surrounded by doctors and nurses wearing Chimera emblems, and attached to a fiendish looking machine, her nightmare and her past flashed in her eyes, and Luna lost control.
She charged blindly and mortally struck down everyone around her. In her eyes, all she saw was blinding crimson and white. The doctors and nurses pleaded for their lives, but Luna showed no mercy. Raw anger and maddening hatred blinded her as she violently killed every single person she could get her hands on.
=0o0=
Aysha quickly freed Elizabeth from her restraints while the attacker was distracted.
"Hurry this way!"
The exit was blocked when the attacker threw a large device in front of it. All Aysha could do was hide Elizabeth in a corner behind some crates which only the child could fit through. Aysha managed to conceal the child before a metal spike came out of the nurse’s chest. She was impaled at the back and was thrown by the masked assailant across the room like a ragdoll. The masked killer continued its rampage and executed every single person as violently as it could. It threw one doctor across the room and straight at the crates where Elizabeth was hiding.
=0o0=
By the end of her slaughter, the room was covered in death. The gamey smell of blood flooded the room. The walls were coated with crimson, pulpy masses of organs on every surface. Luna heard a noise coming from a metal locker. She violently pushed it down, and Suvorian was thrown out of it.

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.

The deep timber of the man's voice rings out through the still night and my body shivers in fear and disgust. Suddenly another man is at my side, twining his fingers through my hair. I can't see either of them clearly in the dark. The man, Bennett apparently, leans down close to me and takes in a large lungful of my scent as well. My knees begin to shake in terror and a low growl rumbles from his chest."She does smell good. She's pretty too." He says, pecking a kiss to my cheek. My face crunches in despair as I try to pull from their hold. "Let me go." I beg and the first man chuckles. "Awe. The little human is nervous." He says, amusement evident in his voice. A sob breaks from my lips as I try to pull my arm from his grasp."You're hurting me." I say, tugging my arm again."Let her go, Rowan." Bennett says, making the larger man grunt."Don't get attached to her. You know what happened to the last one."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
