6 Chapter 5: Retaliation

Healing himself as Asmodeus watches him in amazement, Lucifer shocked everyone in the world with how strong his imperium was. Being able to heal all the wounds on his body within less than three minutes, his ability was as good or even better than Jack's immortality. "We just need to get his blood now. And then we can conduct all the research we want to and don't care if he dies or not" Asmodeus thought as Lucifer was still strapped on to the chair, head down and motionless. Asmodeus started to become a bit worried, before he dismissed it since he can't possibly have died when he can heal himself. Asmodeus walks over to Lucifer and lifts his head by his hair. As he looks at his face he realizes that he had just fallen unconscious so he asked everyone of the soldiers to gather in the room to make sure Lucifer doesn't break out by any chance, as they still didn't know much about his imperium.

As Alex looked around, he noticed the soldiers outside the door leaving in a hurry. "Guys the soldiers... They ran off somewhere. This is our chance lets go!" Alex said, informing the others that the facility is probably in the middle of a crisis, not knowing that they are going to where the seven planned on going as well. "Before we go out we're going to have to break these bracelets on our ankles. If we keep them on they can track us down" Jack said, lifting his pants a bit and revealing the bracelet on his ankle, seemingly a tracker. Alex walks over to Jack and uses his ability on the tracker, Fulgurkinesis which is the ability to use and control electricity to break it. Afterwards he proceeds to destroy the trackers on the other four and then himself as well.

As they prepare to go against all the scientists in the facility, Elisa walks up to the door and uses her ability as well and breaks the door with ease. Her ability, Omnikinesis allows her to control all forms of matter. Taken by scientists and frozen in time by them, Elisa has been subdued here due to how strong her ability is and how much of a threat it can be to humanity itself. As they broke down the door, trying not to make any noise whilst trying to be as quick as possible they ran through the hallways hoping to by some chance run in to the room Lucifer was inside. As they step outside and in to another room in the facility, they see a window that looks outside. "Wait... How long have we been waiting.? It's already been a day!?" Layla yelled, realizing they might have already been a bit too late to save Lucifer from the pain and suffering they had to go through already, not realizing what he went through was much worse than anything any of them had to deal with.

As they ran through more and more hallways they kept opening all the doors they could find, still trying not to get detected whilst moving around, hoping that the soldiers and scientists notice their disappearance after they find Lucifer and send him out to freedom. But as they ran through one of the hallways, hoping to find the room Lucifer was in they opened up a door, revealing three scientists inside instead of him, shocking them with fear whilst they try to prepare for a fight.

Alfred, Ali and Zion walk through a different hallway, wondering what they should do know as the person they were suppose to keep watch over and take care of is now under someone else's care. "I can't believe he just came in and took him with him! Like it was OUR job to watch him!" Ali remarked. "I can't lie you're right about that. I know he is a superior to us but still, taking over our projects is too much" Zion answered with a calm voice even though his face said otherwise. They walked inside a room and sat down, a drink each of their hand and all of them in a bad mood. As they drank, Zion sighed as he asked Alfred. "So what are we going to do now sir? Our project just ended, and who knows what he's doing with Lucifer. You know how he is..." he said, reminding the two others of how horrendous Asmodeus's methods were. As Alfred sat, pondering on what their next move should be, the door to the room suddenly swings open.

As the door opened, it revealed the seven from the confined room, taking the three scientists and even the seven of them by surprise. As they all stayed staring at each other in surprise of seeing each other, the seven got ready to fight. Activating their imperium's and getting ready to attack till Alfred notices their imperium's and what they look like, finally realizing who they are. "What are you seven looking for?" he asked them, taking not only the seven but even Ali and Zion by surprise. The seven escapees look at each other, trying to figure out if they should trust the three men or not. In the end agreeing to get information out of him, they ask him where Lucifer is which while it takes them by surprise, gave the three an idea. "We will help you save Lucifer and also get out. We just want one thing in return" Alfred answered, with a plan in mind and a smile on his face.

A bit confused the seven wondered on what it could be that these men could possibly want from them. Jack though, who didn't wanna take any type of risk in the whole plan, stood ground and asked Alfred. "What is it that you want in return? Someone like you who has all the freedom they want." he asked with hatred in his voice, as if he was ready to kill the three men any second. "I will tell you what we want. We want you to kill Asmodeus" Alfred answered without hesitation as Zion and Ali smiled as well, realizing Alfred's plan.

As they hear the words uttered by the mouth of the scientist before them it takes all of them by surprise. Hesitant to agree, thinking that it is all just a way to fool them to betray them when they want to, Jack doesn't know what to believe. But just then Historia walked forward, as if they were taking over for Jack. "We agree to do so. We will take care of Asmodeus if you help us find Lucifer" she said, putting the six others in to a state of panic before she explains herself. "Calm down all of you. You know my imperium. They're trustworthy so let's keep moving." she told the others without any form of doubt in herself. So they decided there, that the seven escaped test subjects of the laboratory will team up with the three scientists. Not only so they could find and save Lucifer from this hell of a place, but now also so they can find and hunt Asmodeus down, so they can kill him...
