So begins chapter 4 of our small tale. The best thing is that I only talked alot about nothing but people last time so I don’t have to remember as much.

 

 

After hearing of the people that Tyrant was talking about Billy tried to reason with Tyrant saying “but those people are a threat to everyone”. Tyrant simply said that he had friends in there, and one of them had to have set him free. Billy quickly said it was him that did it. Tyrant just laughed at that and said  " you look like you couldn’t hurt a fly that had its wings ripped off, how could you stop the hole center" Billy said” I bypassed the cpu and power systems, but if you want to get them out you better hurry its set for 3 hour intervals. (See told you it would come into play so neah): countdown time 2 hours 10 minutes: Tyrant said “what do you mean I’m not going in there you are”. Billy surprised said “you can break down doors and walls, why the hell do you want me to go" because Tyrant said" you can get in and out without being noticed, for some reason a 6’8 monster such as myself  sticks out in a pack of nerds." “Thanks for giving me some positive reinforcement” so with Tyrant treating to kill him, Billy went back into the center. All he saw inside was destruction. There were fires, broken walls, and dead bodies littering the hallways. Billy was horrified by one man who was impaled on a flag pole. He then sees a man who seems to sucking water out of a body. As soon as he noticed Billy he hurled a large round puddle thing at Billy who quickly said "I know Tyrant". The puddle thing stopped almost 6 inches from his face. The man said” if you know him then I want proof" Billy soon told him of his account of Tyrant coming out. The man soon said his name was ray. Ray told him that he saw 3 of the some of the surviving original 10 members die. Most of them crushed by parts of the ceiling. The only ones he knew that were still alive were him Tyrant, Alex the energy user, and Mark. So Billy asked him where Alex was. Ray soon told hi he is off in the top floor looking for mark.

 

Billy said "wait tyrant has already looked up their it was mostly offices and meeting areas” Ray said "well that means either they moved him to another area or he’s down in another part of the facility Billy heard a sly voice say” well of course he’s either not here or down stairs Ray, what not you capture a scientist I can fry.” “Nah he’s some guy that Tyrant found to help us out”. Tyrant had gotten bored and came in surprisingly most of the scientists and soldiers were gone the facility was basically empty. He met up with Billy, Ray, and Alex and they had a nice happy reunion.   So they all started searching for an entrance to a basement. Tyrant ripped up floor tiles and Ray and Alex who had nothing mainly just wandered around looking. Alex was basically powerless without the power. Ray was still trying to find enough water to get himself going. Tyrant in a fit of rage started hurling desks or anything else he could get a hold of.  He eventually smashed a section of a wall that dented and rang out almost like a gong. So Tyrant started pounding on the wall which eventually broke off and revealed a short staircase. :countdown time 1 hour 20 minutes: All that was in the area were halls lit with small yellow lights and a calm alarm was sounding, Alex tried to get some power from them but they were on a low current so he just zapped the lights more than anything else. There was however a large door at the end of the hall. It would have normally had defenses set up but with the power down nothing was running; Tyrant smashed the gun batteries and said “we don’t want these to give us any trouble now do we”. The door itself was not powered at all it was sealed and air tight. Tyrant couldn’t event put a dent in it, they were ready to give up when suddenly lights started to come on. Ales smiled and said “stand back I haven’t felt this good in a long while”. He glowed with energy and shot two bolts of lighting at the door. It looked as if it were withstanding the attack when it fell right out of its hole. They stared to hear things snapping, things unbuckling. Then they saw Mark standing there smiling with the most chilling smile one could ever see. He said “my friends you have released me from my prison I am so happy I could just die” Tyrant told him not to worry things were about to change for the better.

Mark Smiled and said “I know”
