"Looks like someone turned the power on.?
They had been running up tunnels and through doorways and stairways to only find nothing. Reijin had assumed that with some of the rooms being keycard accessible that there was some form of backup generator. He had been looking for it, but then while searching for the glowing figure of Gabriel, he had seen a light shining from a doorway. The first light he had seen in some time. "Looks like Brim and his lackeys fled the scene,? Kami grumbled.
Uub scanned the room, but couldn?t see anything offhand that might be of use. "Think something went wrong?" The room appeared to be some form of a conference room, but what attracted them was that all the lights and power were on in the room.
Reijin, however, was looking elsewhere. "Check this out," he called to them. Lifting his hand, he waved a diagram in the air. "Looks like the map Vejita had. But this has some extra locations."
The others gathered around the Saiyan to see the truth in it. According to this map, they were in Brim?s personal conference room. Reijin was pretty sure that this was a room that they were never to know even existed. Pointing out a few locations on the map, Reijin tried to piece together everywhere that they had been.
?Other than all the normal shit outside of the buildings, it looks like they have some of their personal buildings on here,? the Namekian announced. He jabbed his green finger to the paper. ?Think Brim might have headed to this staff camp??
Reijin shrugged. ?Personally, Brim is not an issue in my eyes, at this moment. I think that he has his hands full trying to get his shit back under control. If we attack Brim at this moment, I?m very sure that we?ll run into nothing more than a large number of guards, while he drops into random secret escapes that even this map and most of his own personnel know nothing about.? He casually fingered another location. ?Here is the storage facility. I think that either the angel could be there, or something else of use. Perhaps equipment or something. Gabriel can take care of Brim, I?m sure of it.?
Uub gave the raven haired youth a glimpse. ?You don?t really think like a normal Saiyan, you know that??
Giving him a side glance, Reijin shrugged. ?It?s a product of training. I didn?t exactly spend my life growing up on Vejita-sei. I have a very strong bond to the Saiyan race, but I?ll be the first to admit that while our race is of course the fiercest and most competent race in the universe, it is also the most headstrong. And from my training, I know that rushing into things without having thought them through can get you killed, regardless of how skillful you are. That is what puts my abilities above that of my opponents.? He flashed his trademark smirk.
The Namekian bypassed the conversation by pulling out a chair casually and taking a seat. ?Just wake me up whenever you guys have come to some form of solution.? Looking more into the situation, the human had a feeling that Reijin wasn?t one to really talk about his past much, or delve into it with just anyone.
?I say that we go to the storage facility. Brim is probably at the staff camp, or some other hideout that even this doesn?t list, and we are already in the production facility, from what I?m seeing,? the Saiyan interrupted his thoughts. Uub saw that he had taken a seat next to the Namekian in the conference room, so he pulled up a chair next to him, turning it around and straddling the backside of it.
?I have no objections.?
Reijin nodded at the human and then turned to Kami. ?You??
The green warrior simply smiled. ?Lead on, Captain.?
?Then its settled. Let?s go.? Reijin stood from his seat and gave the map a good scan while holding his earlobe. After a moment, he smiled, and then rolled the map up, placing it into his vest pocket.
Kami gave him a look. ?What was that all about??
?I was imprinting the map onto my LENS database, just incase something happens to it,? Reijin replied.
The other two fighters nodded, and then Uub spoke up. ?The Three Musketeers??
Reijin?s disgusted look quickly shot down that idea. ?What about the KRU? You know, like Kami-Reijin-Uub? Like it? Yeah, its settled.? He quickly walked towards the door before anyone had a chance to respond.
Uub received another level look from Kami as the Namekian whispered to him, ?That name is nearly as lame as his idea for ?New Vejita?.?
The human shrugged. ?You?ll have to tell me about that one some time. I dunno. Its kinda catchy.?
?Its also not up for debate. Let?s get moving,? the Saiyan?s voice carried throughout the room. The other two sighed, pushing out their chairs and walking towards Reijin.
Uub swiped his keycard through the doorway and bowed as the door slid open. Reijin bowed as well, motioning to Kami. ?Ladies and asexuals first.?
Kami gave him the finger as he stepped into the hallway, listening intently for any sounds from around the building. Hearing nothing, he waved them in. The two warriors joined their third member and then began to walk down the hallway. ?Too bad that map didn?t cover how this building itself is laid out. I?d love to get the hell out of here so we can be on our way,? the Saiyan proclaimed.
?No kidding,? Uub agreed.
Kami looked down the hallway and saw another elevator shaft in the distance. ?What about up and through the roof??
Reijin shrugged. ?Not a bad idea, if we assume that this roof is possible to be blown through.?
Kami beamed. ?Only one way to find out, eh??
The other two nodded, and then began to run down the hallway toward the shaft. Skidding to a halt, they looked both ways around them. There were doors on every direction around them, a few of them strangely half open. Through one of the doors, a faint shuffling could be heard. Reijin motioned to his lips, and then stepped quietly to one of the doors. He peered in and saw a man in a security uniform holding onto his bloody leg. He was locked behind another small door, in a glass room that looked vaguely like some form of recording studio. Reijin turned and looked at the others.
?There is a man here. I really don?t care about his well being, but he might know of a way out of here,? he theorized.
Agreeing, Uub stepped past him pushing open the first door to enter the main room. Upon doing this, the security guard in the second room began to point at them, screaming as he began sliding as far from the doorway as he could, holding up his gun shakily. Reijin saw that his bloody leg was actually severed at the knee, and that most of what had appeared to be leg was nothing more than blood soaked pants ripped at the knee. ?Poor guy?? Uub couldn?t stand to see the man panicking so much for no true reason, and he turned back to the others. ?This guy is apparently terrified for some reason.?
Reijin suddenly slammed his foot into Uub?s chest hard enough to send him reeling across the room. Uub?s eyes opened wide with shock as the Saiyan and the Namekian burst into the room, tearing apart the zombie that had been about to bite Uub. Uub hit the ground next to the glass door, and quickly leapt to his feet, in time to see the headless zombie drop to the floor as his two partners wiped their hands on their clothing. Reijin gave him a level look. ?You can thank me later.? Uub?s retinas were the only warning that Reijin had in his moment of arrogance, and the Saiyan suddenly found another zombie wrapped around his body from behind.
The Saiyan felt the familiar soaking wet feeling of fresh blood cover him from behind, and felt hard undead teeth bite deeply into his shoulder. He yelped in surprise, even breaking his own normally calm composure, and shoved his elbow back, striking the zombie in the gut. The mindless mass didn?t even appear phased by this action, and continue to chew in place. Kami grabbed the creature from behind and pulled on it, managing to pull the creature off of Reijin only by the creature?s arms breaking off, still wrapped around the youthful warrior. Reijin grabbed at the arms and snatched them off, hurling the bloody limbs across the room and spinning around.
The armless creature had twisted around, gnashing its unloving teeth at the green battle hardened warrior hungrily. Kami slammed his forehead into the creature?s own, caving in its skull and dropping it in its place. He looked over to the Saiyan and gave him a thumbs up. ?You ok??
Reijin nodded, pointing at his bite location. ?He didn?t get anything but my armor, so I?m good. I have a feeling that damn thing would have ripped right through my muscle tissue before I could have gotten him off of me.?
Uub jabbed his thumb at the glass door. ?I have a feeling that?s what happened to this guy. He?s scared shitless, and has his pistol out. I guess he holed himself up in there to keep away from those things.?
?Well, lets not keep him waiting. After he tells us what we need to know, he can go back to holing himself?? Reijin jumped as his words were interrupted by the sound of a gunshot. He turned around quickly and saw that the man had put the gun into his own mouth and pulled the trigger. All that was left of the man?s head was his own brain tissue splattered across the wall inside. Reijin gave the new corpse a grave look and announced his opinion with a dry comment. ?There?s always that option, I guess.?
Sighing, Kami pointed back out of the room. ?Think the other rooms are like that as well??
Reijin shook his head. ?I?m pretty sure that most of the zombies came in here to attack that security guard. So unless someone else has attracted their attention?? His voice trailed off and he began to walk of out the room, gingerly stepping over the bloody corpses littering his path. The other two followed, and a quick check of the room revealed that the rooms were indeed empty, albeit littered with the freshly dead.
Uub repeatedly tried to swipe the keycard through the elevator pass code to no avail. Reijin heard him cursing and turned around, walking over to him. ?It says that there is a system malfunction,? he announced his findings.
Kami slid his hands in between the two elevator doors and gave them a look. ?That?s where I come in.? With a strained effort, he slid the two doors apart, then quickly stepped back at the sudden rush of wind from inside the empty shaft. Signaling to the others, he reported to no one in particular. ?There?s no elevator. Just the shaft. The wind is fierce in this thing. I think I see a hole somewhere near the top? There?s no elevator even at the bottom though, and we are only a few floors up.?
Reijin gave an acknowledging grunt. ?Its hydraulics. Most people think that if an elevator were to break that it was crash down into the ground at a hurtling speed, but they are idiots. The elevators run on hydraulics, which keeps them from suddenly dropping if the power goes out.? He gave a flourishing arm wave around them. ?There is a lot of pressure in those systems to keep them from crashing into the ground, and the elevators are not necessarily pulled up by those cords. They are pulled down by them.?
?Ah, I get it. So if those cords were to break, then there is nothing to counteract the air pressure in the hydraulic system and the elevator would rush up at breakneck speed, crashing through the roof,? Uub concluded. The Saiyan nodded, confirming his theory.
Kami crouched down and looked over his shoulder. ?Either way, when you guys are through with your science lesson, feel free to follow me.? A burst of energy surrounded him and he leapt into the shaft, jetting upward. Reijin and Uub leapt in immediately after, the human adding a swan dive to his flourishing entrance, and then they both quickly flew up the elevator shaft with increasing speed. A few floors showed open elevator doors, and once they even saw a man firing his gun repeatedly as three zombies were ripping into him, pulling his intestines out in strings.
Finally, the trio burst out of the elevator shaft at the hole in the roof, ascending into open air and looking down at the large production building below them. They could see the enormous dome, along with the even larger building itself that towered the landscape. They also saw the elevator lying on the side of the tower, hanging only by a piece of metal that had wrapped around a side of the building. Uub quickly burst off towards the elevator and looked inside the structure to find nothing inside. He then rejoined the rest of the group as Reijin pointed off into the distant sunset. ?The storage facility is that way. Those zombies might be crawling this place when that sun sinks below the horizon, so I think we?d better get going.?
Kami gave a toothy smile. ?Boys, we are off to find ourselves an angel.?
