ACT Ⅰ - REPRIEVE ~ SCENE 1 - Chase And Catch
"Squads. Radio in. Let me hear an update. We, Squad 1, have surrounded the entrances to the buildings. Have any of the squads made progress, over," the Commander spoke into his radio.
"Yes Commander, this is Squad 5 - First Class and Second Class, we've silenced the guards at the east perimeter, and are heading to the meet up point, over," a Chaser spoke into his radio.
"At the west perimeter, this is Squad 3 - First Class with the Layman, we've taken out the guards here and breached the fence. We're currently proceeding with vehicle immobilization, over," another Chaser radio-ed.
"Squad 5, get your asses over here now, Squad 6 - Elite has already finished with the entrance at the southern perimeter, we're waiting on you. Squad 3, finish the job quickly. Squad 4 & 2, what are your reports," the Commander voiced into his radio.
"Sir, we've taken out the watchtower guards. This is Squad 2 - Second Class, we've blocked and surrounded the back entrances of the buildings in the north, we're ready on your command sir," a Chaser responded.
"Be ready for my command then Squad 2. Squad 4, update. Give me an update," the Commander almost shouted into his radio.
"Yes sir, this is Squad 4 - Second Class with Layman, we're sorry for the late report Comma--," a Chaser started.
"Like hell you are! You better make sure none of your Laymen were killed! Now give your report!" the Commander sneered lowly into the radio.
"Yes, we've succeeded in taking control of the control room with zero casualties and have closed all the gates, Commander. Ready for action, over," the Chaser reported.
"Yeah, you and all the squads should be. Now do what you were hired to do for this mission, intercept and capture the targets! Proceed with the plan of action! Squad 3, you'd better shoot anyone that comes out of the building trying to get away in the vehicles you should have already fully immobilized! Squad 2, nobody should make it out the back, eliminate them before they reach even two steps out the backdoors! Squad 4, keep those gates closed! I don't want any escapees, or I'm having a talk with your superiors who let you join this mission! As for Squads 1, 6, and 5, we're entering the buildings on my command! Part of Squad 5, split up, you are to guard the entrance and make sure none try going out this way either. Squads, you are to exterminate the criminals! Get rid of them, but don't kill all of them! Do you understand!" the Commander demanded.
"Yes sir!" All the squads radio-ed in.
"Good, you all have your orders, now follow them! You were all given the details of the mission, you should know you won't just be shooting at adults and you should be prepared for that! Now Engage! Capture the criminals, Chasers!" The Commander ordered.
--------------------------------
[ Through the entrance doors the Chasers burst through and into the main building.
It's time to run, the Chasers are here. ]
"This Is The P-A-C-C! Any And All Occupants In This Building, Have Been Pronounced CRIMINALS By AUTHORITY Of LAW! STAY STANDING Where You Are! HANDS UP Where We Can SEE THEM!" yells the Commander, as he and the rest of the Chasers burst into the main building, fully armed holding weapons and suppressors in their hands.
Startled, many of the doctors freeze in place before making a run for it, despite the clear warning.
Some doctors dive between the desks or run out of the main building room and into the other room entries. Others duck down as they rush to the back of the building trying to get out the back exit doors. All of them are hoping for a quick escape, but the Chasers are on high alert, they know what to do.
"Open fire!" The Commander shouts, "Get after them!"
The Chasers do exactly that. They chase after them, running with guns in their hands and restraints at their sides. Some search the rooms, while others tackle down the doctors. They open fire on any doctor that doesn't surrender. And those who ran out the escape exits at the back were immediately shot down.
A few doctors were taken down by them, but many of the Chasers were taken down by doctors who had run out of the main room and had come back with weapons to fight. Some of the doctors carried physical weapons, like guns, some even had metal pipes, but that wasn't all. Just as they were briefed in the meeting before the mission, there were other weapons in the doctors' control.
Those weapons, they come in the form of young children being controlled.
Some doctors who went into the hallways and were getting chased by the Chasers go into rooms and grab screaming children out of beds and use them as shields from the Chaser's bullets, warning the Chasers that they'll kill the children if they continue to shoot.
Only a few doctors come out of the rooms they go into and bring a child out hand-cuffed to themselves. They order the children to fight the Chasers, and those children obey.
Some Chasers go flying into the walls and the ceiling, others only have their guns fly out of their hands and smash onto the floor.
But as each child uses their "advancement," they faint onto the floor after throwing a handful of Chasers and crushing their guns into pieces, leaving the doctors defenseless. Still handcuffed to the children, some of the doctors surrender, while others inject the child and then themselves with a needle, most die on the spot.
--------------------------------
One Chaser runs after a doctor who went out a different way then all the others. He keeps running towards the doctor until they're in a long hallway. The doctor heads straight down the hallway, running as fast as he can, with the Chaser on his trail, chasing after him.
The Chaser follows the doctor out an unmarked door, and into another separate building that isn't too far away from the one they just left. He follows the doctor into the building and they continue down another hallway.
The doctor takes a left turn when at a fork in the hallway, and then another, and another, and then he takes a right into an open, no door entrance, with the Chaser not too far behind him, shooting at the doctor as he's running.
Then, the Chaser sees that after entering through the entrance, there're wide, but long hallways in front, to the left, and to his right, different from the narrow hallways he had run through. He turns his head to the right, and sees the doctor run into a room, one out of two of the only rooms in the right hallway.
The Chaser hides behind a wall just in case the doctor comes out with a weapon. And he himself quickly reloads his weapon in the meantime.
Suddenly and soon, the Chaser hears a muffled scream. He thinks: Too quiet of a scream? A grown man's scream? That room. There could be a child!
He runs towards the room, weapon in hand. But lying a few feet from the front of the door is the doctor he was chasing. The doctor is lying face down on the floor, his eyes are wide open. The body is illuminated by some moonlight coming through a single high window.
There are visible holes in the back of the doctor's shirt, that reveal a specialized bulletproof vest. [Explains why he wasn't going down], The Chaser thinks.
Then the Chaser gets closer to inspect the body further. [Not a single drop of blood?] The doctor is undoubtedly dead, and the Chaser leans down a bit near the doctor's head and sees something sleek glistening near his mouth. There's a small pool of blood on the floor that's formed near his mouth, due to blood running out of it, barely visible without the moonlight.
He quickly gets up and takes one more closer look at the body, then lifts his head up and stares straight into the poorly lit room. [what killed him? ] As his eyes adjust with the help of the moonlight, he sees a mound of something, and his eyes widen curiously. He walks closer to inspect the mound.
In front of the dead doctor's body, only a few feet away,...are a bunch of pillows, different sizes and shapes, probably different colors as well, but not enough moonlight to see clearly. Feeling a sense of calm, the Chaser turns his head right and left, surveying the room. There is a small stool to the side, and a large desk and cabinet to his left.
The man stares for a few seconds, then snaps back and runs towards the body to check its pulse. He thinks: [Nothing. Definitely dead. So then who?] Then, as if on cue, he hears a rustle behind him.
With no hesitation, he turns, spinning around towards the pillows, gun held in both hands, ready to shoot. The Chaser doesn't fire immediately though, for what he sees atop the pillows is a small arm. Still on alert, he moves closer to the mound of pillows, and in between the pillows he spots some hair, some curiously dark red hair is revealed by the moonlight. Quickly, the Chaser moves away the pillows.
Grabbing his radio securely strapped to his side, he shouts: "Sir. Report from C506Bird, a CHILD! Yes! I've found an unconscious child!" Into his intercom.
He gets a relay message back saying to come back to the meeting ground immediately with the children. "Don't wait for backup. Get back immediately."
He picks up the child, and carries the seemingly still sleeping red haired child, already wrapped in a blanket and holding tightly onto a small red pillow, in his arms.
As he's heading out the door, he is stopped by something pulling at his leg.
He quickly spins around and points his gun.
Another child. A blue haired child with a worried expression, clutching onto a small pillow. [He is probably the one that screamed], the man thinks. He asks the blue haired child if he has enough strength to run, as he thinks the boy was the muffled scream and that he must be frightened. The boy nods in response. He glances at the red haired girl the Chaser is carrying, and quickly drops the pillow he'd been clutching onto.
The Chaser, believing the boy has decided to leave the pillow behind, takes hold of the blue haired child's hand with his free hand and walks out of the room and into the hallway.
Quickly, remembering the situation they were in, he drops the boy's hand and takes up his weapon, his aim at the ready. Motioning to the boy to run forward and follow him. With his weapon aimed at the front, carrying the light weight child in his arms, he starts running and heading towards the base with the blue haired child following at his side.
Timidly, the blue haired boy clings to the red haired girl's hair as they run at a cautious but quick pace. Following the Chaser outside the building, out into the cold air and the falling snow, they are leaded towards the Chaser's comrades waiting inside a large, armored vehicle just outside the main building.
"Let me through, it's C506Bird, I have the children," the Chaser yells to the squad guarding the vehicle. They let him through, and he receives some slaps on his back as he makes his way towards the vehicle's entrance. "Great job out their Chaser."
"This is the Bvs10 kid," the Chaser tells the blue haired kid as he hands over the red haired girl to another person in the vehicle. "Get inside, these people will help you," the Chaser explains as he lifts the blue haired kid up into the vehicle.
The blue haired kid stares at him for a moment before heading in. "Where are you going?" the blue haired kid asks in a small whisper as a Healer inside the vehicle places their hands on the kid's shoulders to keep him from leaving the vehicle.
"I'm gonna go get the rest of the bad guys kid. Stay there, the Healer's will take care of you," the Chaser says, nodding to the Healer as she starts to lead the boy inside.
The boy freezes and turns his head around to face the Chaser once again. "Don't worry, we can talk when I get back," the Chaser tells the boy before walking off with a wave. "Catch you later kid."
