0006 - Escape

The time was here, it was time to escape. No one was expecting anything. Vito already had everything in place, he was going to 'snitch' on one of the more rebellious cliques. He was going to meet Sergeant Jay at the opposite side of the facility. But something happened before he could do that. 'BOOM!' An explosion happened. The fireworks were set off before it was time.

Vito had cold looking eyes as he rushed out before he could meet any guards. Something happened forcing Scott to detonate the fireworks before it was time. Vito needed to see what happened. The guards were alerted and began to run towards the explosion with Vito. Zack and Maya who were talking were stunned, Maya acted immediately and found Scott. He looked at her and nodded.

Maya nodded back and grabbed Zack to run to the courtyard. Where their plan would be enacted. Vito had three guards with him as he ran. But suddenly, Joel. The leader of the clique Vito wanted to frame, appeared. "You. You wanted to frame me." Silver tentacles shot out and killed the guards before they reacted. Vito looked confused, who spoiled the plan? Only the four… damnit. They betrayed him. Vito clicked his tongue. He should've known. But there was an underlying gut instinct…

Oh well, that's fine. If they betrayed him, why should he care anymore? Vito decided to play with them before he betrays them. He still needed their 'assets,' since they are still powerful combatants. Vito with a callous look in his eyes, switched from Training Regime, to Dagger Proficiency. Joel was one of the greatest hand to hand combat clones on here. But he was third to Vito and second to Jeff.

Right now, fist combat wasn't too keen on time and effort. He'd rather use a knife. Vito grabbed a dagger from one of the dead guards and their gun. Joel merely watched as Vito pocketed the bullets and raised his knife. Joel raised his hands and the battle began. In a different part of the facility. Zack was arguing with Scott. "We should go find Vito." Scott disagreed. "He's probably already dead by now."

"How can you say that!? He was the one that devised this plan, I'm going back." Scott clicked his tongue in annoyance, but in reality he was seething with joy. Since he wants to go back, why doesn't Scott make a little 'accident' happen? After all, since Zack wanted to go back, he'd experience an accident at his own risk. Scott grit his teeth and said. "Fine, but I'm telling you, he's already dead."

"I refuse to think that he's dead." Zack said to Scott coldly as he ran off. Maya and Scott were forced to join them. Along the way they fought with several different escaped zombies. Scott smiled sadistically under his façade, knowing that his plan worked wonders. But for some reason, it seemed to them that Zack was getting stronger the more he killed. They were unaware that Zack's Supreme Human King bloodline would passively make him stronger the more enemies he killed.

'Ting! Tang!' Vito used half his strength to send seven cuts towards Joel. Two were blocked by the metal under his clothing. Vito may not know everything about the facility yet, but from what he saw in the storage rooms? There was no metal armour. Even the metal plates there were mainly used for building or were easy to cut through. Plus, how would Joel have gotten access to the storage room? He was the Rebel Leader, self made name by the way.

So there was something wrong with Joel. The child he was cloned from was the son of a famous technological company CEO. Vito suddenly narrowed his eyes as five new cuts were made on his body. A sort of silver like liquid appeared over the wound and healed it completely. Not even a scar was left. It wasn't too overpowered as the cuts were merely a centimetre deep. But even so, it was impressive. Vito had no idea what they were.

But he wasn't going to let Joel stop him from gaining his freedom. Vito with cold eyes began to use all his strength and stamina. Over the period of three seconds, three areas were attacked five times over. His neck, his heart, and his brain. Joel was unable to defend them all, so he chose to move and make sure the wounds weren't too fatal. However, he was unable to guard his brain so he ducked under. But this was his worst mistake.

The line between death and life was thin here. As he ducked down. Vito suddenly changed to Insectoid Body and hit him in the chin. Before changing back to Dagger Proficiency. With Joel unbalanced and stunned. Vito went in for the killing move. Vito used a lot of his strength as he directly pierced Joel's brain, killing him instantly. Vito breathed in heavily for a second before returning to his neutral state.

He needed to deal with Zack's group's betrayal towards him. 'First clone has been felled. Racial talent achieved. [Metabolism Acceleration]. This talent allows for never being able to gain weight due to faster metabolism. And also for an enhanced regenerative factor, doubling one's regeneration.' It was a good power for resting situations. Plus, after Vito escaped. He'd need it badly. His current body was really damaged, Joel hit hard. But the Ember Pulse had a new reaction.

'Era Lord killed. Taking a golden finger. [Nanites]. A very tiny piece of technology can heal, strengthen, and create. You have enough nanites to cover your entire body in a three centimetre suit of armour.' Era Lord? Vito didn't know what an Era Lord was, but it seemed powerful. The fact that it gave Vito an entirely new talent, and a powerful one at that, was proof of its importance. But right now he had no time to waste.

Twenty guards appeared and aimed their weapons at him. He was outmanned and would die. Fortunately, something new happened. 'Era Lord defeated... +1 talent box. Five new species have been killed... +1 talent box.' Vito thanked whatever God of Embers there was in the world. He equipped his new three talents. Dagger Proficiency, Insectoid Body, and Nanites. Suddenly, the same reflective silver armour appeared on him. But in greater volume and power.

A volley of twenty pistol bullets were shot at Vito. If he had Hunter's Sense, he still wouldn't have been able to see how he was shot. But right now, the nanites covered his entire body. The bullets were reflected off of him. The guards were stunned. But Vito wasn't. He took this chance to end this large force. In the entire facility there were only sixty guards. With extreme speed, Vito appeared at the guards and started to slice and dice.

But even so, many of them were trained and started to back off while shooting. However, Vito was faster. Three died the moment he made contact with the blob of soldiers. Another three died as Vito hunted them down. But the injuries were accumulating. He was bleeding profusely and even with his regeneration and nanites. It was still not really great. But he didn't really care, his heart was the first priority. No matter what.

It wasn't long for twenty dead corpses to pile up. Most of them already fired their bullets, but Vito grabbed another pistol and their bullets. He had a stockpile of forty eight bullets and two pistols. Vito saw that the dagger he stole was already broken. He went through five guard daggers killing them all somehow. It wasn't good quality. But Vito remembered something. Create...

Suddenly, a dagger made of nanites appeared in his hand. It was much more powerful than the guard's daggers. But a huge chunk of nanites were used. His right hand, the one with the dagger, lost all of its nanites up to its wrist. But even so, it was probably good. Vito then decided to put up a helmet. He didn't use a helmet when cutting them up. So it might be a good time for it.

The helmet was a reflective, dark silver colour. His hair was tucked in nicely and a thin glass like screen was made for his vision. Vito used some of the nanites that were supposed to form on his head, and sent it to the hand. The glass like screen used a lot less nanites than other limbs. So a new hand guard was made. And Vito disappeared to get the hell out of here. He really didn't want to stay here any longer.

Coco knew something was off. The red sirens were blaring and everyone was panicking. Countless zombies, insectoids, and moon wolves were released. Funnily enough, none of the children died and even fought back. But Vito was missing. Coco shook her head and destroyed another zombie's head, gaining a little bit of nature force from her gem. She decided to go find Vito now.

Scott, Maya, and Zack were all looking at the twenty four dead corpses. Zack clenched his fist and needed to find Vito now. He was probably injured, or dead. But Zack wanted Vito to stay alive. After all, while he did have a different personality. The dead child's personality lingered with Zack. The previous child was a caring, kind, and nice person. And it was engraved within Zack's genes. "Let's grab the infant and find Vito..."
