The Shadow Runners (thriller/horror) PG-13

[Farewell]

"I'm fine." Zaida huffed as she was on her knee's. The Serynx had a cut on her arm and some bruises as she had fell on her side, getting to her feet she brushed it off. She ran a paw through her hair before giving a soft sigh. "Does it really matter how many of us are here? I don't appreciate being lied to as well" she looked at the unconscious fox "this scientist better know what he's talking about... I'm already getting frustrated." she said coldly. "This better be worth it, some of you almost got killed and Velox taught not to **censor** around..." she finished with a hiss.

[Draak_Tand]

"Oy, Scientist, Rogue we need medical attention over here!" He said as he winced and limped up to them. "Make sure she gets attention first." He said pointing at 11. "I'll be fine for now." He said steel in his face from emotions and pain.

[PO5ID3N25]

"Fine come over here and sit down" as I pull out bandages and other medical supplies "I'll patch you up"

[Farewell]

"No need to waist material. I don't need medical attention, I'm perfectly fine." She said soothingly "The damage is like falling off a motorcycle. I'm sure I'll live." she said crossing her arm over her breasts.

[Draak_Tand]

"Thanks but ill be fine." Tand says "but 09 needs healing."

[PO5ID3N25]

"He will be fine just concussed possibly a busted ear drum I checked him earlier" moving over to sit 09 up "okay this will wake him up" popping a ammonia packet and wafting it under his nose "come on buddy wake up"

[Jacob Hail]

Aaron sat on the ground and held his face in his hands, running his fingers through his fur as he shook with adrenaline. Jacob knelt beside him, taking a look over his shoulder to glare at the other runners before turning back to the husky. "Pull yourself the **censor** together, we need to find a way out of here. I just need to get my rifle back and we are getting the **censor** out." He mumbled, taking one more glance back as he thought up a plan.

[Draak_Tand]

"What *censor*  was I doing trusting, 09 its like I was n a trance." He whispered to himself, "It was probably because he knew 99." Never trusting anyone I don't know to well again, except people who haven't lied to me, he though about 11, 17, 23. He gets up "Welp, ima go see I its still out there."

[Trinity_Zane]

As the door slide shut behind them. An ominous sense of claustrophobia hit. Trinity was slowly recovering from the concussion, the room spun as if it were on a platform. The false mirror was replaced with a window which gave a visual of their laboratory. Down below was the scientist, she was concocting a new experiment.

Ripley saw the room rotate and eventually made her way up to the room. Her lab coat was long enough to drag on the concrete floor. Upon closer inspection they had realized this used to be the old hanger the Air Force used.

She slid into a chair and rolled over to look at Trinity. Not a word left her mouth just an obvious sigh of frustration as she played with the hair in his face.

"Taero. Get me a shot of that Dilaudid." She pointed to the syringe on the metal table.

After a moment of administering the medication she happened to glance over at 17, 23, 01 and 11. Her eyes stayed on 11 as if a slight jealous of her.

The Labrador-Ripley, stood up her high heels clicking as she moved over to the holographic image hovering over her main desk.

She collapsed the hologram and returned her tired, jade eyes to them "Do you know what this is?"

A piece of wreckage sat in the middle of her desk. There were wires all hooked up to it and at times glowed.

"This is what remains of our physics observatory in Port Station." Her eyes kept on it and they could see almost vicariously how many hours shed spent before hand like she did now....just looking at it.

"These beings aren't what you think they are. They're not aliens, they came from our world."

Trinity by now was starting to wake up and groan.

[PO5ID3N25]

Stepping to his side "are you okay sit up easy not to fast" as I help trinity up turning to Ripley "I offered them medical care but they refused" gesturing to the wounded runners

[Farewell]

Her glowing eyes met the scientist. However ignored, not fond of her as well, and wasn't much of a competition...but the faster this goes the sooner the Serynx can leave, all she wanted was a bit more information.
Zaida crossed her arms over her breasts as she listened leaning against the wall. She stayed silent however she knew a fair amount about the shadow creatures that lurked around the world.

[Trinity_Zane]

She was walking over to Trinity, holding him up as well "Get this one the cell reconstructor." Ripley grabbed 01's arm and led him to the bench opposite of Trinity.

The scientist returned to Trinity, leaned over his her hair tickling his face "I'm sorry. It was a mistake. All of it has been a mistake."

Trinity sat up, his paw resting on her cheek "What? What's wrong?"

"The Slayers..." She couldn't look him in the eye could only look away "...we just didn't know."

A distressed tear rolled down her face and she hugged him tightly "Dr. what do you mean?"

He dangled his feet off the bench, wrestling through the dizziness the Arch-Runner watched the chunk of electrical conduit on her desk.
The fox limped over to it pushin her gently aside, the scale reading the activity off it beeped and flatlined irregularly.

"Back when I was a member of the board we were measuring physics and they're reaction on a molecular level. At a base near Port Station." She cradled her head and sobbed.

"We had set up an abnormally large current of electrical magnetic energy to splice an atom. The day I left there was an accident. The entire operation was shut down because of an explosion." Trinity held the wreckage.

"With that amount of electromagnetic energy science can't even begin to explain what happened. It fried the molecules in the atmosphere and combined them to create a physical mass. One not easily visible to the naked eye. However it blew gravity out of the equation and the energy was able to bond."

The Arch-Runner felt a heartbeat through his gloves coming from the metal conduit, he dropped it onto the table and turned to Ripley horrified.

As he looked down at it the same noise interrupted the radio on his waist just like the Slayer "We did it. Trinity. We created them."

09 pulled out his gun and shot the block of metal until it disassembled "That's impossible!"

[Draak_Tand]

"WHOAH STOP YOUR DAMN SHOOTING!  THAT COULD RICOCHET!" Tand yelled, worried more for his companions safety rather then his own. "Jeez is it really impossible? No it isn't, think about it." He said knowin full well it coulda happened. "Now put the gun down, and ill feel safer."

[Jacob Hail]

Jacob walked up to stand next to Tand, jabbing a finger at the scientist. "YOU created these things? Oh man, well isnt this **censor** GREAT." He growled, his paw gripping tighlty around his knife. "The whole world is gone, and has become a living HELL because you couldnt keep your paws off of something you shouldnt of been messing with!"

[Draak_Tand]

"Well ain't this dandy," Tand says walking towards the door. He opens and here's a screech. "Your children don't seem to like you." He reloads his shotgun, and cocks it, "So how do we kill these things?"
