Chapter 9 - Garden City Part II by Millia Vargas
had reached the center of what once used to be the Garden City in the capital Zoniana. Now it was just dead buildings and skyscrapers and abandoned. The weather and the rain falling, only served to make it look more gray than it already was.
Garden City was the closest to the old center, where only the wealthy had the option to purchase homes. Despite his name was not a city, but rather a complex of skyscrapers and subways multifunctional self-sustaining and sustainable. Rarely saw people entering or exiting the Garden City, mostly because people who lived, lived and worked there. Fara was how he could remember before the attacks venomianas forces.
of the tallest buildings there was almost nothing more beautiful buildings, a pile of rubble of his home, only a memory.
"Welcome to my home," Fara said, pulling a ring with a single key from his pocket. Fox could not help noticing that Fara called this place home from home. But it did not ask, the answer was obvious enough just looking outside.
"You live here?"
"Say yes, it is my duty to protect the base while others intend to work on the false basis" replied Fara de facto. A Fara did not like this place, but nobody knew it better than her. After all, spent his childhood in these streets, I knew each one as the palm of your hand, even amid all the destruction. Fara
gently turned the key and the large glass door opened wide with a crash, the rails needed oil.
was a large entrance hall, typical of the skyscrapers that once exceeded the 500-story, however, ruined hopefully exceeded twenty. The roof of the hall hung a huge and incredibly dusty crystal chandelier. At first glance, the single frame could easily hose weigh a ton. Each of their glass beads, like water droplets, were tied together by countless spider webs. On the ground, could see thousands of droplets scattered and broken. It was as if the rain had moved out and solidified inside.
The walls were recorded, fresh, and overalls of various designs, shapes and sizes. Fox could only imagine how beautiful it was this building in peacetime. Never seen anything like it. His shocked expression and lack of words were sufficient indicators of print status.
Fara sighed, glanced he saw as Fox faltered. Hoped to avoid a transfusion of blood. It was too risky to conduct such operations in a place like this. And apparently, Fox was equal to all other men he had known. Extremely proud, or extremely stripped him. Fara expected to be the last before the first.
"Over here" Fara Fox led the bottom of the hall. A simple view was a wall like all the others, however, as they approached they could see better, a great door hidden among all the decorations and frescoes spent the wall.
Fara with the same key opened the door. Unlike the front door, this door was pushed open. It was expected that the systems of a building like this, after the damage suffered during the Resistance, were not fully functional. Fara Fox helped with the task of pushing the heavy door as best he could. The same was done to close it once they were inside.
door wearing a long dark corridor, down a staircase that creaked with each of its steps. A shiver ran up the back of Fox, for some strange reason felt coming down Valley Lont stairs again, a sigh of relief escaped her lips as she bottomed out after a short period of time.
Again, another door in his way. This door was normal however, Fara just opened by hand, in the same way they used to open the doors before the mass of the motion sensors. This was, perhaps, a kind of cupboard or room cleaning time. That was all that Fox was entitled.
Fox's eyes still trying to adjust to the darkness of the room when they crossed the portal. This room was much smaller than the central hall. That was the feeling that was. Shortly
little, Fox began to distinguish the silhouettes of the furniture through the white light emitted by a small hatch in the corner of the room that led outside. I could only say that his cave was more welcoming Papetoon this room. Damaged furniture, broken table, a chair abandoned. He was impressed that this "house" had kitchen. "Fara lived here? Alone? He could not. Would have nightmares every night, he had gone mad. Even he thought he saw a rat prowling around. Such
base
went completely unnoticed. But how such a large organization such as search engines could work here? Why Why this place?
"Sorry, we do not have electricity ... would be suspect in an abandoned building like this, have electricity, I mean. But when you get used to, this is really a very aco-"
"This is your base? " Fox asked, skeptical about the whole thing. Fara
put his hands behind his back and looked at him innocently.
"Yes" Fara answered proudly. "Just look more closely." Fox
stared for a moment as if it were a joke. But seeing that Fara was not laughing, made a last effort to shape his view. Suddenly, it seemed see a millionth of a second a small fluorescent light coming from the refrigerator.
Slowly, almost insecure, Fox began to approach the kitchen. Looking to stop the old refrigerator. Had not seen before, but gradually became visible, were small interfering lines, and were all around. Over the furniture, walls, even the rat had moved again. Again the same fluorescent flash from the refrigerator. Releasing a moment his wound, Fox extended his left hand touching the surface of the refrigerator with the tips of his fingers.
As if by magic, all the walls of the room disappeared. Could only watch Fox surprised. The furniture that before were old and about to collapse, were actually modern seating, table and chair were only an illusion. This was a room at least five times bigger than it seemed at first and the refrigerator was nothing more than a small part of a large computer screen that took up half the wall.
When Fox withdrew his hand, the room returned to normal.
"Có" How ...?" Fox was dazzled. I had no words. Bases such as this, were only comparable to the GreatFox.
"Johann designed holograms "
At the mention of the boy, both Fox and Fara, smiled sadly.
" Nobody will have died in vain, Fara. I promise. "Fox said, holding back his side.
Fara came to his side.
" Ven. In my room I have the first aid kit. Not be much, but at least stop the bleeding. "
Fox followed. Stop the bleeding was more than enough for him. Especially because I was starting to feel too cold.
" Computer, I need hot water. Fast "Fara said as he hurried toward the door to his room on the left wing of the hall, passing through false wall generated by the hologram. "Enable Emergency Mode" added. They had reached the end of the room where the door was opened into his bedroom.
" emergency mode activated . Hot List." A male voice, but clearly virtual answered from a location that Fox could not decipher.
"Thank You" Fara sighed, turning the handle to open the door. "The computer is powered by solar panels installed in the parking lot, myself, the program carefully to Fara observed, apparently, very disoriented fox. "Are you all right, Fox?" Fox just
watched. "You could say ..."
had so many questions, yet had so little time.
Fara Fox opened the door for the first time since he entered the building, he felt that there was nothing that surpasses it in emotionally. Inside the room only had a bed and a wardrobe, the unpainted concrete walls and a door on the right that probably led to the bathroom. Fox declined to comment on anything. Something in this small and simple room will warm the heart.
"I do not like the sumptuous" commented Fara, a little embarrassed. It was not an everyday thing to bring a male of the species to their bedroom. Indeed. If you put try to remember who was the last person who came into his room ... probably the drunk who was to run at full speed bathroom to vomit in the middle of the night, when he was about to reach the seventh dream. Oh yeah, it got the go this time. Fox
simply said, turning to the bed.
"Catch" said Fara, Fox throwing a bottle with liquid inside. "Take off your clothes and put two drops of fluid in the abdomen. Inhibit any odor coming from your body." Fox
obeyed turning around and facing the wall, her cheeks flushed.
"It was not what he said was the way he said it 'was the mantra that Fox said over again in his head, after all, was not an everyday thing that someone, say female, asked to undress. Transvestites who had met in the street after school once lacked. Fara
meanwhile, was giving back. He thanked the heavens that his voice had not broken in the middle of the last order. Necessary. The odor inhibitor would be worthless if Fox brought their clothes on. Clothes already impregnated with their scent. These clothes should be incinerated as soon as possible.
"You can have the underwear," said Fara quickly. There was about to give one of their panties to a stranger just for fear of seeing their children clothes ... or rather, lack thereof. He went to the closet to get a pair of blue glasses and carefully placed them. We followed a pair of latex gloves and a huge white bag. "Ready?"
"Yes" Fox was lying facing the sky, a spider was doing very interesting activities in a corner. Suddenly, he felt heat. Fara had covered with a blanket to put around waist and legs with warm water bags. A sigh of relief escaped his lips involuntarily. Fara
smile.
"Are you well, no? "Fara asked, letting a small laugh and giving one of the bags. Fox simply nodded and held the bag of warm water with your left hand to hold her against his chest. I could feel his body recovered part waste heat.
"You know what to do?" Fox asked, a little sleepy
"I hope. Try to keep your eyes open, okay? "Fox nodded. Fara was right, if for some reason he fell asleep, it could very well not wake up again.
" Computer. Activate the CT scan, "he murmured Fara as he drew from his pocket keyboard plasma.
" On. Installing help monitor level 3. Please follow the instructions "
began entering data through blue glasses that Fara had been minutes before. His eyes moving in all directions trying my best to read and memorize all the data entered at full speed .
"internal damage Checking ...
Aorta. Checking.
Cups 2, 5A90, 78B1-0, 81B13-9 checked.
There are no external pathogens within the system.
Please proceed with the disinfection and retention abdominal trauma.
"Civilians are being prohibited the sale of anesthesia. Please, hold this," pleaded Fara. Fox clenched his fists and closed his eyes.
[Dementia ]
Under a pile of rocks, concrete, wood and glass shattered, a shadowy figure emerged. Deformed and torn. Dust fell and gathered around him, but no matter. He did not need his eyes to know where she went. Growled as he stood more and more. Bones creaked and fit into place again. One would think he was the spitting image of Lucifer emerging from the destruction.
Fortunately, no one was around. Panther had lost what little sanity I had and was able to kill anyone who approached him ... Anyone.
His hands were shivering. A nasty smile crossed his face. Your dog stained with his blood.
did not see nothing but red. No one else smelled that he . Its delicious prey. How delightful it would be from their fragile bones. How delightful it would swallow your bowels. Step by step and slowly resumed its path Panther he .
could not hide.
not for long.
believed that this little pump would stop him ... Panther!
" How wrong they are! " screamed her lungs out, sure that Fox would hear the angry roar.
A seizure invaded his body destroyed, tons of blood evacuated from his mouth again and again, the floor of their copper color dyeing.
blood meant nothing.
pain meant nothing.
His eyes were hidden behind shadows. Never ceased to go to that place.
The place where his prey.
breathing of one of the soldiers caught her eye. Slowly approached the place where he lay his crushed body. Stooping, Panther looked with indifference. Clenched his fist tightly and heavily hit the soldier's head, literally bursting. The blow killed him instantly, Panther fist had broken and pierced his skull, scattering his brains and blood in all directions. Panther stood up again.
Who needed a fucking squad following him weak and mortal fools! He might kill himself. Did not need anyone, he was more than enough.
had his loaded rifle. Panther
paused a moment to look closely at the weapon in question. His hysterical face disappeared for a few seconds to be replaced by one of disgust. Without another thought, Panther threw the gun into the rubble of the collapsed building. The smile returned to his face.
could not stifle her desire to kill. With his own hands.
A frantic laugh escaped her cracked lips and stark.
"McCloud ... You can hide your scent ... but the blood ... own smells blood! "
He laughed slowly, while planning to do after killing the fox. Do not kill the fennec immediately. First I could play with it a bit. Then kill your lifeless body.
could not hide. Nothing and no one would escape from their hands. He was a symbol of perfection. He was a machine of destruction!
A beautiful red rose had blossomed. Their spines were ready to kill.
True Andross building was loose.
"I'm telling you, Peppy. I can not know where Fox The configuration of this place changed a lot since the attacks ..."
"It is better that I return airhead motorcycle. Whole!" Slippy could only sigh for the thousandth time. Falco was seriously affecting your patience. In fact, why did to endure all the time? Slippy ended transmission and radar relit his pocket. "I guess we'll continue on foot."
Falco nodded. I did not want to admit it, but uncertainty about the welfare of Fox put him on edge. However, Arwing would see a full of pigs to admit that out loud . Of course I also loved his motorcycle, he had designed ... yes, I loved her as much as the first electric guitar he bought when he was a kid.
was also concerned about the welfare of the boy beside him. Since he was commissioned to monitor the monitors had not taken off head of the screen. They were shit. Where are the missions that used to do before? And since when do you many favors to the army Cornerian? Sure, sure, a little extra cash does not hurt anyone, he was not one of those who complain about things like that.
A shiver ran up his back. Something in this place did not like, maybe it was the partial destruction of all the buildings around it or maybe it was that stinky smell of malice and madness that was in the air.
"... A panther ..." Falco muttered in surprise.
"Did you say something?" Asked Slippy. I knew what was the shortest route to take. But as always, was good to have the views of colleagues. Especially when they had better sound, smell and vision than you.
"Yes I think the sooner we get, the faster we go."
"Did you know that what you just said makes no sense at all?" Slippy said, looking askance.
"You will know when we get" Falco replied.
"Does this mean that we will take the landfree?"
"Yes, but we need a plan. We can not use these streets if we want to go unnoticed" Falco began something in this situation reminded him a lot the previous day. Were not Slippy and he looking for Fox Valley Lont, grinding monsters and destroying caves to save their skins? Slippy
sighed again, then I had problems.
Heaven, Garden City looked more beautiful and safe postcards.
"Checking ...
Asepsis confirmed. Procedure completed."
Fox was sweating. The hot water bottles had been thrown out of bed, some even burst on impact with the wall. The mat, arabesque designs, completely ruined due to moisture.
much pain was second only by crashing into an Arwing. I still had the feeling of being burned from the inside out. Only not to show weakness is swallowed each of his screams of agony. He did not realize that Fara had taken his clothes, and without even asking, he had thrown into the incinerator was in the bathroom.
A large explosion from above caught the attention of both. A little light came on, illuminating the dark red room for a few seconds to back off.
"That light means that something bad is happening, right?" Fox asked trying to sit.
"Can you walk?" Fox
nodded.
"How's your arm?" Fox
right arm was observed. The bone was completely crushed.
"has seen better days ..." Fox said, trying to smile despite the pain.
"Well," Fara said, sounding very serious, "because we have to leave this place as soon as possible. Panther is true that now we can not smell, but we can follow up here."
"This place reeks of us," Fox
complemented Fara nodded, glancing at Fox pants.
"I hope not throw under your other clothes"
Door the front had literally exploded into thousands of fragments due to the impact force exerted by the iron grip of uncontrollable Panther.
"Here. This is" Panther panting body shook with each burst of laughter that exploded from his mouth. "This place will be your grave ... HEAR ME! " Panther
went straight to the door camouflaged among the frescoes. His bloodied nose sniffing loudly. Suddenly he stopped, his pupils dilating. In that exact location was a spot of blood. Your blood. Probably left there when Fox tried to push the door.
Panther did not bother to do that, just backed away with his whole body began to knock on the door that separated him from his prey. Just enough to hit the door twice before the timber yield to its power. The beautiful gate beautiful frescoes had been reduced to mere splinters. With unchanging countenance, Panther went on their way to Fox
Slippy sighed, was waiting at the landfree, just where Falco had told him to wait. And it was boring. Sighing again, Slippy the driver's seat leaned back, resting on both legs landfree midfielder, looking to the sky partly cloudy, medium gray that rested on him. A few birds flew over his head 'as if they felt the danger was in the other direction. " A chill invaded his body, he dared not make any other sound, for fear of being discovered.
actually expected Slippy Falco this plan work. Had great faith in his friend, but could not deny that Falco used to always take the violent path. Well
. This delay gave him time to think more about your situation. This monitors was great-not more than that. Together only so much technology was made in Corneria. But he did not like. He did not like at all. I was always worried, especially when some of the team was not present. I wanted so badly to stop seeing this screen, but I feel very responsible if any of her friends something bad will happen not only have been watching the monitors.
was complex. Have the lives of your friends on your computer, depending on him and he noticed only the slightest change. Change it meant the difference between life and death.
'I'll never be anything Beta-tester'
Slippy thought, frowning and making a small pot.
"We can not go by where we come in," said Fox, worried.
"I know," answered Fara, a drop of sweat running down his forehead. "Computer, open the closet door. Please watch, you will need."
The computer did not respond, but nearly silent engines began to function under their feet, it felt almost like the purring of a kitten. The closet began to move left to rebel a huge hatch instead of a simple wall. It was round, about two feet in diameter, very similar to the hatches of the submarine. It was obvious they would have to go on all fours. Fara went to the hatch, opening with one hand and bowing.
"Please, you go first," said Fara.
This produced a reaction Fox immediately
"YOU first go before a woman goes against all my principles," he said frowning. NOTHING would make him change his mind.
"Will you go and is final." Fara said Fox beginning to push into the hatch. "Do not go looking at my back during that tour," said. A small headache was beginning to form with this whole situation.
"HOW!" Fox yelled surprised actually that was the last thing on his mind ... Well, maybe not the latter. But definitely not in the list of per-making at a time like this!
That little lack of concentration by Fox was all he needed to push Fara completely inside the hatch.
Panther was down the stairs and was in the room of holograms.
If the room was dark before, then this kind of darkness had no name.
only thing Fox could infer from the touch and hearing was that they were in a tunnel, the walls around a lightweight, yet strong. Probably low density concrete. As an old disused pipe. Judging echo, it was a plumbing system. Fara probably knew the route that would take them out.
