Chapter 2: escaping the screams(pt 1)

BLANK'S POV:

Today's the day I will escape. I have it all planned out. I'll wait for that one bigger-one too pull me out of the void, than I'll have to put him in the void. And that's the first part. As for the second part of the plan, well, I don't know. I'll just have to hope that I can escape.

EXPERIMENTALIST REN'S POV:

I am unique. Graduated from one of the most prestigious schools on this god-forsaken continent with a degree in magic-born physiology. So why am I working under some useless old fossil who fancies himself as intelligent like professor abi? I don't know. But I do know that once I finish this project I'll be able to kick that incompetent piece of trash out of chimera and take his place as the leader of the bioweapons department of chimera. Imagine that. Professor ren. But no matter, Right now, I must finish the mana decay test on blank #035. Blank #035 is a weird one, for sure. I mean, he's one of the most successful specimens we have so far, but most of us just call him kenos, which is void in the the ancient tongue. We call him that because he seems void. Void of personality, he shows no reaction even when we augment him, whereas all the other blanks start screaming. This however, makes him one of the prime subjects for that disgusting king of jiren. He thinks he is smart, but he is just a tool for the the outer continents to unify the continent, making their takeover all the more easier. Useless bastard. Well, enough of that, Let's just get the test over with and go take my lunch break.

KENOS'S POV:

It's Time. I need to get ready, I can feel myself getting pulled out of the void. I can see him. I'm all the way out now. I just need to wait for an opportunity. I can see him turning around to grab a needle. 3… 2… 1… now! I jumped up, pushed him with my foot, and grabbed a needle and jammed it into his throat pulling my hand back I got ready to stab him again, but he was already falling on the floor. I stared at him, stunned for a moment. It was that easy? That easy to hurt these people that always hurt me? After thinking about this for a few minutes, I heard another one coming around the corner. I jumped out of my cot and ran to the wall right next to the doorway with the needle still in my hand. "Ren, where are you? What's taking you so long?" He said. "What, where i- *STAB*. As his corpse fell down I jumped over it and ran down the hallway. As I stopped at the corner and checked, I saw two people, one with a sword on his hip and the other with a spear in his hand. Let me think about this. A spear is for long range, but a sword is better at close. So, I need to throw this needle at the sword wielder while running at the spear wielder. Ok ready… and… now! As I ran towards the spearman I threw the needle at the swordsman but… It missed. Shit. I dodged the spear but just as I was about to get to him, I felt something, turning to the side, I saw a sword coming towards me. I knew I couldn't dodge. "Well, I guess this is it" I thought. But at the last moment, I tripped. Yeah, I tripped over the spearman's foot and the swordsman cut through the spearhead and got his sword stuck in the spearman's leg. With no time to think, I grabbed the spearhead and ran towards the swordsman, stabbing it into his throat just like in physi-magic arts class. Then I grabbed the spearman and somehow dragged him into a closet down the hall.

Just as I threw him into the closet and shut the door behind me, I heard a blade whistling through the air and just as I turned the sword was only two or three inches from my face but I somehow managed to block with my arm, grab the blade with my other hand, and smash it into his arm. I can't kill him yet. I need to know how to get out here, and lucky for me, I have a way right here. However I have a problem, how am I going to get rid of this guy once I know how to get out? Well, he keeps staring at my hands for some reason. Maybe… I'm a combination of all the best traits in all the best species right? Well maybe I… looking down at my cut hand, I flex my fingers and small claws come out. Hmmm… so they are retractable huh? Well know I don't need a weapon, at least for the time being. I slowly started pushing out the claws on the hand that's choking him "tell me and I'll make it quick." He nodded no huh? He seems more stubborn than I thought. Wait, when did I get this used to killing people like me? Are these people even like me? I'm going to have to check my appearance later. But I don't have time for this. "Tell me NOW!!" He nodded no again. "Hmm… this is getting annoying now" I said aloud "might as well give him some motivation." I flexed one of my fingers on the other hand an stabbed it into his shoulder *SPLAT* blood splattered on the ground, making a disgusting noise. "I said 'TELL ME AND I'LL MAKE IT QUICK!!'" FINE! Fine! I'm sorry, I'm sorry ok? I'll guide you. Is that fine? Hmm… I don't really trust this guy, but I have no other choice. Grabbing his neck with my hand, Oh?!?! The cut in my arm has already regenerated? I guess i have a pretty good body then. I'll have to figure out all the advantages later. I grabbed his neck from the back and pulled him to his feet." Pretend your escorting me." I whispered he nodded and I withdrew my grip from his neck and put on claw right behind his back, ready to stab him at any time. We met a few other guards like him Along the way m, but everything was going well until we met the one that seemed to be the leader. "Professor abi, the boss," the guard told me. I thought he was the leader because he was always telling other people what to do. Well if he's the leader, than I'm screwed. "Huh? Soldier; what are you doing with ke- I mean, Blank #035?" "I am taking him to experimentalist Ren's room sir." Hmm… I see." He said. "Well go on your way then." "Yes sir. Thank you sir." But as he rounded the corner, professor abi said to his assistant "sound the silent alarm, make sure those two don't leave this building!"
