Tyla: Seven straight hours of torture, and she's not talking. The Zero Police force have decided to take to extreme measures, and have fetched a series of drugs, with the Red Horse virus sitting at the end of the extensive chain. First is Opal, or Hycephamitamyn-η. It is like crack-cocaine, and is dropped or injected directly into the eyes, or absorbed through the skin in powdered form with the aid of a solvent. While initially developed as a hallucinogenic sedative, it has become popular as a recreational drug, with users often experiencing an intense, often religious, state of mind. One man lifts her head while the other carefully slides the syringe into her eye, and injects the tar-like liquid. Soon after injection, she begins to jitter and speak in tongues, then scream in pain. Soon, the high ends as the dosage wasn't like it normally was. She still refuses to talk.
Tyla: Next is Anphylox. A drug that is very similar to methamphetamine, though is marked on a more extreme level. It causes the person to have small seizures, and go through large waves of pain. After the main stage of the drug, the person will walk around in a zombie like state, mumbling out all their memories, sometimes in different languages. Lucky for Tyla, she's abused many drugs in this time, and is speaking pure gibberish as she fights against the drug. She was released from the metal chair and is simply walking around, babbling things about animals. How fish cannot breath on land, how most animals can drown if they fall in water. Things that generally don't make sense or have been heard many times before. "Jesus was crucified for witch-craft! He died because he was a monster, not a hero!" As the brain shrivels and pulls away from her skull, she falls over and begins to tremble, a bit of white foam coming from her mouth. This is natural when the drug is taken.
Royce: Seven hours Royce had spent looking for his stolen friend. He knew the Zero Police must have gotten her. He had begun to travel towards one of their bases hours ago. The Zero Police traveled much faster than him and Tyla was already out when he had awoken. He had grunted in annoyance and set out to find Tyla. He stood hidden before the base, Patrols of guards were seen all over the place. Royce sighed and pulled out two pistols. "You better thank me after this Tyla, these are my last few rounds." Royce glanced up again and steadied his breathing. Behind the twisted and wrecked car in which he hide behind he wait for a pair of guards to turn their backs to him. Once they did he bolted out from his spot and towards the gate. Of course Royce wasn't stupid. He had picked up a few rocks and had just now thrown them over at a pair of guards on the other side of the barrier. They were distracted in that once instance of confusion and Royce used it to slip into the compound as a truck was [c]
Royce: exiting. He hid in the shadows, breathing still even. "They would keep her underground most likely." He murmured to himself before slipping from wall to wall. In the base there was a large bunker, and many ruined yet still standing buildings. The entire place looked like a small town. Royce held both pistols up as he turned a corner. A dog barked at him and he groaned. "Shit." Was the single word before a Officer round the other corner, complaining about the dog before noticing Royce. In a split second Royce had his hands around the mans head and twisted it painfully. A large crack sounded and he let the man crumple to the ground. Royce took off for the bunked. No doubt counting the seconds until they found the body. He reached the door just as an alarm sounded. "Well here goes nothing." Royce bust open the door in classic video game style to find...No-one. He raised a brow and quickly closed the door behind him, locking it and stepping lightly in the place. He looked for what could[c]
Royce: for what could be the staircase down to an underground facility. No luck. Just as he was about to give up a loud banging on the door in which he entered was heard. He grunted and hide behind a wall. More loud banging and then the crack as the door broke. Royce turned out to face the door and pulled the triggers on his pistols. Two shots rang out and then the shit hit the fan. Gun fire exploded out from the doorway and Royce was quick to hide behind the wall. When the shooting stop for just a moment Royce leaned out and started firing. This would go on for a few moments, Royce was hit three to four times. Two of which the bullets were still in him. He coughed and finally disposed of the last Soldier. "Damn. Now lets see who's alive." He said, picking his way through the bodies before discovering a young soldier. He picked him up with one hand and smiled. "So, do you know the way underground." It was all the soldier could do to nod and point to a painting covered in blood and bullet [c]
Royce: holes. "You've got to be shitting me." was Royce's response. He looked at the painting for a moment before taking it off the wall. The moment he did a 'Ssssss' sound was heard and a metal door opening from the wall. He stepped into the room. Or the elevator and began his decent into the belly of the base. "Lets hope their more challenging than the bitches up here."[e]
Tyla: Time had flown by for Tyla, and they were to the virus now. The red horse virus. the Red Horse virus is a "hardy" biological agent "presenting many of the same symptoms of the Ebola virus without the attending fragility one would expect of Ebola." A video on Red Horse Vector shows the effects of the Red Horse virus on Jed Mather, a U.S. diplomat kidnapped and killed by Algerian terrorists. They squirt a bit of the liquid onto a rag, which turns blood red, and quickly put it over her muzzle. She starts to immediately freak out, thrashing about in her chair as she takes deep, panicked breaths. Soon enough, they took the rag away and left the room, once again freeing her from her chair. Tyla began to look around, everything glowing red to her. This was the first stage, and it would last about five minutes before the next stage would begin. Soon, she'd start to sweat profusely, and would soon begin to sweat her own blood. [e]
Tyla: [c[]*
Tyla: The sweating stage would continue along as she would become increasingly aggressive, lashing out at anyone who was still in the room with her. Royce now only had about thirty minutes to get in, save Tyla, and bring her to medical where the cure was. The vaccine was called The Copper, by local street gangs. The vaccine does have some side-effects such as having orange colored body secretions, having a copper scent, paranoia, aversion to bright lights, and skin sensitivity. Withdrawals from the Copper are reportedly fatal in all species known to man. Including man itself.[e]
Royce: Royce had reached the bottom. And when the door opened he was facing about thirty or so soldiers. He had no time for this. Putting on a fake smile Royce raised his hands. In one he held a hand grenade. "Well lets see what trouble I can get up to." He said growling and pulling the pin on the grenade in one swift motion. He ran forward dropped it in the middle of the soldiers which had started shooting and jumped into another hallway. "Boom." The grenade exploded sending soldiers flying and blood spraying all over Royce. He grinned through it all. Picking up a soldiers weapon he ran down the hall. He searched through each room. At this time he had about 15 minutes to find Tyla. He swore, still searching for that one door, for that one place where Tyla was. He passed by a medical wing. He paused and then peered inside. On a computer screen was Tyla, pacing around a room and blood soaked and seemingly mad. "That's..." He grimaced. He glanced around the place, before looking through the [c]
Royce: cabinets. Soon enough he found the vaccine. Royce had a knowledge of drugs, probably better than most, though Tyla beat him in that field as well. He took the drug and looked at the monitor. It displayed one thing in the top right corner. -Subject 5 room, D wing.- That was all Royce needed before heading back down the hallways. " A...B...C...Oh..shit." He said as he rounded the D wing corner and was face with more armed soldiers. However these ones looked much more trained and dangerous. Royce aimed but was shot in the leg. He grunted as his steady shot wavered and he released a round straight into the wall. He growled, aiming again and shooting into the squad. Shots rang out and Royce was fired on repeatedly. He crawled out of the hallway. Coughing blood and clutching his arm. A chuckle and Royce peaked out to find a masked man. "Ah yes your precious friend will soon be joining the millions which have died." Royce narrowed his eyes. It was just that man left. A grown white wolf. [c]
Royce: Royce grinned. "Shall we see who is the better?" Royce said standing up and getting into a fighting stance. They began. It started with Royce landing a few punches before he was kicked in the gut by the other. He couch and retaliated. His more primal side coming out. His eyes burned with fury. He bit the other wolf, digging into the mans neck, through tendons, flesh, and other vital parts. After he finished he spit and opened the door. He had about two minutes to get the Vaccine to Tyla. He saw only one more door. He opened it and blinked. Tyla looked completely different and as he entered he had a feeling she was going to lunge at him. He made a dash forward and held out a syringe and aimed it for Tyla's arm, or really any part of her body. This was going to be interesting.[e]
