TI: RotGF Chapter 6

The Incredibles: Rise of the Galeforces - Chapter 6: Hunter and Hunted

Metro City, 5:00 PM, Sunday, March 9, 1980
[Vi:] I slowly opened one eye, and then the other. I was in some kind of cell, similar to the one Stratogale and I had been caught in two days ago. "Welcome back to Aperture Science," said GlaDos. "We have been expecting you."
Where was I? Oh, right. I was in Metroville again... But wait. Why was a familiar figure bound in a containment cell directly under GlaDos's head?
[Chell:] I was bound and gagged, helpless to watch Vi about to be tortured. Obviously, I'd had a score to settle with GlaDos for a long while. I couldn't speak as I struggled against my bonds, trying to break through the glass.
[Vi:] I started to wonder whether Chell had recovered or whether she'd just made up that excuse.
Whatever the case, I'd have to ask that later. I needed to get us out of here before...
The tickly cables returned, brushing against my heels and insteps. Well, here we go again, I thought as I tried to hold in the giggles.
[Chell:] I managed to rip off the gag with my teeth and started to scream at Vi at the top of my voice. "VI! DON'T TELL HER ANYTHING!"
[Vi:] Fortunately I was rendered incapable of speaking as the cables tormented my poor feet. "Hehehehehehehehehehehehe I-I'll nehehehehehehehehvehehehehehehehr tahahahahahahahalk!"
"You will, this time," said GlaDos. "And this time we will make sure of it."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEELLLLLLLP MEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEE!!!"
[Chell:] I couldn't bear to see her tortured like this. I started feeling anger and hate for GlaDos as I punched at the glass trying to get out.
[Vi:] I was glad I could barely make out any words through my laughter. But someone had to rescue me soon. Where was Adam, or Sarah, or Dash when you needed them?

[Sarah:] I had soon found my way to the house of mirrors and into the secret passage with the others.
[Dash:] "What took you so long?" I asked as Stratogale caught up.
[Stratogale:] "Had to go back for Mom, Dad and Uncle Thunderhead." I replied as I floated next to Helen. "they'll catch up soon."
[Helen:] "How did you find the entrance, though?" I asked as we hid in a corner alley, keeping an eye on the nearby turret.
[Stratogale:] I smirked at her as the turret came into view. "a hummingbird at the park told me."
[Megamind:] Upon seeing the turret, I aimed my dehydration ray at it before blasting it into a small blue cube of dryness. "all clear."
[Helen:] I hoped the coast WAS clear. But Aperture was definitely ready for us by now.
[Pluck:] As we headed down another hall, I noticed something. "Hold up!" I said, making everyone stop.
[Kate:] "What now?"
[Pluck:] "I think they know we're here. They're bound to set up traps for us. Hold on, let me be sure of this..."
I set up a Buckbot, and then loosed it onto the floor ahead. It walked forward for a few seconds... and then was vaporized as a pair of phaser rifles blasted it to ashes.
[Stratogale:] I was just thinking we'd never get though, a hole in the ground opened above the rifles, and a jet of water sprayed them, followed by a lightning bolt which connected with the water and distryed the phaser rifles.
Then the pieces were picked smashed into pieces by a flying Companion Cube. And Uncle T.H. and Dad dropped in.
[Thunderhead:] "you guys ok?"
[Splashdown:] "Hi honey, sorry I'm late," I said. "What did I miss?"
[Apogee:] "Careful! You could sound the alarm if you do something wrong. By the way, what happened to that pteroda - er, Adam?"
[Splashdown:] "He's taking care of DD right now. Where's Vi?"
[Dash:] "Rekidnapped by Aperture. Looks like we'll need to save her." I said. "I just hope she's OK."
[Helen:] "How the heck did you know that?!"
[Dash:]"Sarah told me."
[Helen:] "So we have to go and fetch her?"
[Kate:] "Obviously. Aperture must be SERIOUS about getting whatever they want from her..."

[Adam:] I'd finally managed, after half an hour of frustration, to calm DD down. It was lucky that I'd managed to placate him (for now). He was being relocated to the Metro City Zoo under maximum security. Unfortunately, Vi was gone. Gliding back to where I'd left her, I saw the open manhole and understood.
I transformed into my human form for a moment to slip down the hole (my beast form wouldn't fit), and then set off to find her.
It wasn't long before I heard the laughter...
[Vi:] "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
GlaDos had started playing dirty... Using most of her cables to pull my toes back, she had forced several feathery saw-blade-thingies into my arches, driving me nuts.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEELLLLLLLLLPHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
[Chell:] I managed to create a HUGE chip in the glass with my feet and jumped out of the canister! "Leave her alone GlaDos! Torture me insted!"
[Adam:] I knew instinctively what was going on. Transforming into my beast form again, I smashed through the door and swatted GlaDos's tickling tools aside, at the same time slicing through Vi's bonds with my razor-sharp teeth.
[Vi:] "EEEEEEEEEEEEK!" I screamed, initially terrified at the beast that had saved me. And then I realized who it was. "Oh, it's you... I forgot you could transform like that."
In the meantime, however, GlaDos had already turned on Chell for busting out. The cables had wrapped around her ankles, tripping her up, and started tormenting her bare feet...
[Chell:] I began to scream with laughter and helplessness as my poor feet were tortured. "HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHELP MEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!"
[Adam:] 'With pleasure,' I growled in prehistoric language (Vi and Chell could only hear some kind of reptilian hiss). Baring my teeth and claws, I pounced at GlaDos. While those cables still held and tickled poor Chell, the rest of her was now focused on trying to dislodge and kill me. Razor-tipped tentacles lashed at my chain-mail-like skin, trying to pry me loose.
[Chell:] I began to cry with laughter as I was tickle tortured; now I knew how my colleague April o'Neil felt in situations like this. "I HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHATE YOHOHOHOHHOHOHOHOU GLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHADOHOOHOHOOHOS!!!!!"
[Vi:] "Hurry up!" I screamed as several more cables started slithering towards me. "She's closing the gap!"
[Adam:] I hissed angrily. Swiveling on my perch I aimed a bite at GlaDos's face, but ended up slicing through the cables instead. The shock screamed through me and I fell. The razor cables lunged, tearing into my underbelly. Violet screamed! And then Chell noticed her portal gun nearby...
[Chell:] That was enouth for me. I grabbed the gun and fired it at GlaDos.
[Adam:] The cables fell lifeless as GlaDos revealed a massive gun and aimed it straight at me. The portal opened up directly below GlaDos's body.
[Vi:] "Chell!!!" I cried. Our only hope now was that she could fire another portal and direct the blast back at the machine...
[Chell:] That's just what I did, and with a blast of the gun, I blasted a portal at the direction of GlaDos's eye, just as the shot was fired!
[Adam:] I leaped out of the way just in time. The blast missed me, but went straight through the portal and struck her instead. Her speaking short-circuited. I screeched in panic - "RUN!!!" and scooped up Vi and Chell, and both sets of boots, fleeing the room just as GlaDos exploded in a tremendous fireball.
[Vi:] Once out of harm's way, we all collapsed onto the ground. Adam resumed his human form.
"Thank you," I said.
[Adam:] "Whatever you want, Vi," I replied.
[Vi:] I did the only logical thing... I kissed him on the cheek.
[Adam:] And I blushed. "Ooooookaaaaaay... Now what do we do?" I chuckled.
[Vi:] "We find the rest of our family... and bust out everyone we can."
[Chell:] I looked at the room and raised an eyebrow. "Sooooooooooooooooo, this is the end of GlaDos?"
[Vi:] I remembered the one back at Metroville. "I don't know," I said. "She will be back in some way or another soon. But right now, we've got bigger problems to worry about..."
[Bob:] I soon found the others and soon found vi, Chell and adam. I was so happy to see my daughter ok after when Helen had said, that I pulled her into a huge hug. "Oh my gosh, Vi! Are you ok?"
[Thunderhead:] I flew in after him and smiled. "I wouldn't worry too much Mr. I." I said. "She's a real fighter your girl."
[Stratogale:] I came in followed by Helen, Dash and my parents.
"She's more than just a fighter." I said hugging her. "shes mt friend."
[Dash:] "and my sister." I added joining the hugging.
[Helen:] "Whomever you are," I said to the young woman with the portal gun, "thank you for saving my daughter."
[Adam:] "Hey! I thought that was me!"
[Chell:] I blushed a little. "Awwwwww, no prob, Miss I." I said. "You can call me Chell."
[Dash:] im looked up at her in awe of her slim body. "Wooooah. So YOU'RE Chell?"
[Vi:] "Oh! Everyone, this is Chell. I befriended her a long time ago."
[Adam:] "She's nice. But you..." I gazed into her eyes lovingly. "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my..."
[Vi:] "Thank you, and I know, we can talk about that later," I said. "For now we've got some stuff to - "
I was interrupted by a warning siren. "Intruder alert. Intruder alert. All units to interrogation facility."
[Helen:] "Great! Now what do we do?"
[Apogee:] "To the storage center! We've gotta get everyone out before Aperture notices us!" (turn(
[Stratogale:] "You got it mom, theres bound to be loads of dead heros that Aperture cloned!" and I flew to the storage room.
[Dash:]"Hey, wait up!" I yelled, following her. there was no way I was gonna miss out on this.
[Thunderhead:] "Uuuuum...yeah." and I stompeed after them too."
[Chell:] Knowing they would need help, I followed all three. I hoped the portal gun would come in handy at some point.
[Adam:] Transforming back into my pterosaur form, I followed the others with Vi, her parents, and Sarah's parents close behind. And then, we all came to a halt. Something was terribly wrong.
[Vi:] "What is it?" I asked. And then I saw them. Three of the resurrected heroes were rising out of their holding tanks.
I recognized Dynaguy, Phylange, and... Macroburst! This was bad... very bad.
[Stratogale:] The moment I saw Wendell in his Macroburst costume, I was terrified. "No...t-this can't be. N-not...Wendell..."
[Adam:] I had barely enough time to shout a warning when Macroburst turned to face us. His eyes glowed an eerie red.
Macroburst leaped towards us and fired a cyclone straight at Sarah!
I managed to yank her out of the way just in time.
[Vi:] "Stratogale!" I cried. Macroburst was obviously proving to be a formidable opponent. We had to do something about the other two, though!
[Stratogale:] As I was dragged out of the way by Adam, one of that perverse bastard Phylange's sonic screams almost hit me. I knew at this point that we were all going to die unless something was done. "Dad, please do something!"'
[Splashdown:] I lunged straight at Phylange, knocking him to the ground and slamming my hand over his mouth.
[Apogee:] Firing a gravity bolt I pinned him to the ground for extra measure. "Get the device, and FAST!" I cried to my ex-husband.
[Splashdown:] I tried to rip the device off his back, but he fired another sonic beam at me, just missing the top of my head.
It was going to take more than one person to beat this guy...
[Megamind:] I had finally caght up with the others, and I had brought Minion with me for back up. When I saw the fighting, I knew it was a job for Megamind. "Don't worry guys! Minion, take the singing one, I'll take the nerdy one with the long neck." Lunging at Macroburst, I wrestled him to the ground and blasted at his device.
[Vi:] I barely managed to dive out of the way of his psionic blast. But Macroburst wasn't so lucky.
The blast struck the device directly in the back, destroying it.
[Adam:] As Macroburst tried to hit Sarah, I yanked him away with my teeth and slammed him into the wall.
[Wendell:] With a jolt, my eyes snapped open as I fell to the floor. The giant flying monster reared up before me, screeching angrily, and instinctively I yelled and backed away.
"Wha! What's going on?! W-where am I and... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
[Sarah:] I ran up to wendell and smiled at him. "don't worry, Macroburst." I said flying up and giving him a smile. "he's with us."
[Wendell:] "S-Stratogale?!" I cried.
[Vi:] Then I screamed. Dynaguy swooped towards us and fired his death ray!
[Adam:] I barely had time to leap out of the way. The beam struck a nearby turret instead, which exploded.
[Vi:] "GUYS! DO SOMETHING!!!"
[Thunderhead:] I knew what I had to do to protect everone. within an instant, I made a small ummmm...what's it called? Oh yeah, blizzard.
Anyway, I fired the blizardy thing at Dynaguy, hoping he'd get frozen.
[Helen:] As I watched, Dynaguy's back became frozen in ice and he fell over. I lunged and smashed through the ice... but found nothing. No device.
"Oh no," I gasped. Then Dynaguy turned and fired his death ray at us. It missed again but hit the ceiling, causing it to crumble and collapse!
"Bob!" I screamed as the debris begain raining down upon us.
[Bob:] I got there just in time and managed to stop most of the ceiling from falling on everyone. while Sarah picked up the rest of the debris.
"Nice one Sarah!" I called.
[Stratogale:] I would have thanked him, but before I could Dynaguy got back up! "Oh, great!"
[Minion:] I managed to grab one of the turrets and hurl it at Dynaguy.
He smashed to the ground and rose to his feet, his eyes glowing red as he prepared to attack again.
[Apogee:] "What happened to you?!" I cried. "I thought I trusted you! We were supposed to be friends!"
[Dash:] I was horrified at what Aperture had turned Dynaguy into. this man had once used those gadgets for good, but Aperture had somehow turned him evil, WITHOUT the use of a device.
I was scared, I didn't know how I should tell anyone, but one thing seemed to be true.
No matter how you looked at it, Dynaguy needed to be destroyed. "GUYS! IT'S TOO LATE FOR HIM! WE NEED TO TAKE HIM DOWN!"
[Thunderhead:] Listening to Dash's words, I knew he was right. no matter how much we loved Dynaguy, he was now under Apertures kooky brainwashing forever,
I aimed a lightning blot at his boosters ans everyone elce hid behind me.
"I'm...sorry dude," I said, my eyes leaking a little as I hit the rocket boosters.
[Vi:] I gasped in horror.
Dynaguy screamed as the lightning bolt struck, destroying his boosters and causing a tremendous explosion.
As I watched, some kind of metal pod fell to the ground. A hologrammatic image of the original Dynaguy appeared.
"Whomever you are," I said. "I am so sorry. But I cannot continue living with you like this. The lawsuits, the stress, everything was too much for me. I must choose the side that would give me the life I wanted, a life free of pain."
"I wish I could stand by the rest of you, but you are a lost cause to me. You can live your heroic lives as you always do, but from here on, you are on your own."
The hologram faded out. I could only stare in horror at what had just happened.
[Adam:] That left only Phylange to deal with. He'd just risen up from the rubble, free of Apogee's gravity, and readied himself to attack us.
But I was faster. And I could fly. As he aimed a sonic beam at Splashdown, I lunged, slamming his head to the ground and ripping the Aperture device off with my teeth.
[Phylange:] I shook my head and massaged my throat. all I can remember is getting blasted by the omnidriod. then I looked around, and saw allot of people. a
A lot of old Supers...including splashdown. "W-what happened?" I asked.
[Bob:] I couldn't help but smirk. "Welcome back, Yodel Boy." I said.
[Stratogale:] "Great." I said sarcastically. "Now when can the womanizing sob leave?"
[David:] "Just when I thought I'd actually get to like this new life..." I muttered.
[Kate:] "Don't worry," I said, patting him on the back. "Now is our chance to make up for what happened LAST time..."
[Pluck:] "Uh, can we do that later?" I said, backing away in fear...
[Vi:] I was about to say something when something growled behind us. I turned... and screamed. It was a dinosaur, similar to DD... but not like any I'd ever seen before. This one was smaller, about as tall as I was, with long arms and legs with razor-sharp claws, and a long snout full of razor-sharp teeth. And to top it off, it had mechanical armor, blasters and blades. And behind it, a dozen more flashed their claws, preparing to pounce!
[Adam:] I recognized the sound at once... and the logos on their breastplates. "Ingen!" I screamed. "Ohmigosh, no wonder Aperture's been cloning - They've formed a merger with InGen!!!"
[Dash:] I winked at Splashdown. This looked like a great time for another electro-water combo. "Umm, I know that this isn't exactly the right time to ask.." I said, "but, what is InGen?"
[Adam:] The dinosaurs, which we would eventually come to know as Deinonychus, stalked forward, ready to pounce. "Several years ago, a certain genetics company, the one I speak of, formed a daring plan. Under the leadership of a certain John Hammond, they intended to clone dinosaurs as a tourist attraction."
Aperture saw the potential, and they proposed a partnership with the company. That's how they were able to get the DNA for both me and these Turret-Raptors. Aperture's headquarters is one head of the threat - the other is in Isla Sorna, aka Jurassic Park."
[Dash:] "Oooh, interesting," I said as I made a charge so powerful, the thing would be reduced to dust.
[Thunderhead:] Wanting to help the kid out I decided to join in. "it looks like you have things under controll kid, but I feel like helping."
[Dash:] As I waited for splashdown to make his move I asked, "Adam, how do you know this?"
[Adam:] "Suffice it to say that you can learn a lot when you've lived in a holding tank for fifteen years," I said, ready to transform again. "Get everyone else out of here! These guys are MINE."
[Vi:] "And don't forget the rest of the cloned Supers as well!" I said as I watched Adam transform again. "Stratogale, give Adam a hand! We need a diversion!" [Stratogale:] "got it!" I called and called a small handfull of crows that had wandered in to help. instantly they pecked at the raptor while I looked at whichj heros were trapped with vi.
[Adam:] I spread my wings, revealing a dazzling pattern of iridescent blue and red markings. 'Want them? Well, you're gonna have to get through ME FIRST!' I cried in Saurian as I took to the sky.
The Turret-Raptors proceeded to shoot bullets at me, but I flapped my wings once, and the resulting sonic boom deflected them all! I swooped, grabbing one of the raptors and lifting it into the air before hurling it into another canister! It smashed to pieces, and more bullets came flying high, taking out three more at once.
[Neo:] I collapsed out of the canister, trenchcoat billowing, guns out. I knew instinctively what to do, because I was seeing the whole thing the whole time.
"Adam!" I cried, seeing something that Adam did not. "Behind you!"
[Adam:] I took the hint, whirling in mid-air and smacking a leaping raptor with my left wing.
[Neo:] I raced forward, the raptors charged. Within seconds they had piled onto me, a whirl of claws and teeth. But an instant later, I forced them all away with a powerful energy pulse.
Two more raptors fired at me, but I leapt backwards in a reverse cartwheel, dodging them all with ease and kicking a third raptor so hard that I broke its neck.
[Adam:] But another raptor came descending upon him. I swooped and just before it hit, I managed to impale it upon my beak.
But more of them were coming. We needed help... and FAST! (Dash or Sarah)
[Chell:] I could see that everyone was in danger and if you think I was gonna be sidelined, think again.
[i quickly created a portal between eveyone and the dinosaurs, then blasted another portal to the basement.
[Neo:] I looked at Chell, then the portal, then the raptor horde, then Adam. A plan started forming in my head.
The raptors charged. One of them knocked into Adam, clawing at his flesh, and slammed him into the empty canister.
[Adam:] This was the one I'd been trapped in for fifteen years. Until now, I hadn't noticed the label. But now I made an unpleasant discovery...
The label read "Stratogale #1."
I was a clone of Stratogale! Geez! And if someone didn't do something quick, she was going to lose her older brother!
[Pluck:] I didn't stop to think. I raced into the basement, and dug up my old Stompybot.
Gassing it up and hoping for the best I charged back out, scattering the raptors.
"EAT THIS, GRANNY!" I cried, firing one of my homing missiles at the raptor tearing into Adam.
[Adam:] The missile caught the raptor in the chest. It was thrown back fifty feet with a scream and exploded in a huge fireball.
[Pluck:] "You okay there kid?" I asked in my Stompybot.
[Adam:] "Barely," I said, pushing myself back into the air and swooping towards the bot, just in time to return the favor with an aero lance through another raptor coming at him from above.
[Neo:] All the raptors were charging at us now, a single super-predator with hundreds of bodies. I needed to do something quick, before all of us were killed!...

[Dash:] MOST. AWESOME. BATTLE. EVER!!!
Thunderhead and me were holding off the raptors real easy. For someone who was supposed to be borderline stupid, he was doing surprisingly well as we attacked the raptors with our powers combined.
[Thunderhead:] Both my storm powers and his electric powers were frying the dinosaurs like Thanksgiving turkeys. "Nice one kid." I said. "Looks like you know how to use those blots good."
[Phylange:] I was holding off the fort with Megamind and Bob. "YODELYODELYEHEEEHOOOOOOO!" I cried, loosing a Sonic Lance at the nearest dino proceeded to go splat on the walls. "So much for "super yodeling" being useless huh, Mr. ?"
[Mr. Incredible] I rolled my eyes as I juggled some of the raptors. "You got lucky that time pal."
[Helen:] "Still, nice work with the Sonic Lance," I replied as I deactivated one canister after another. "You've obviously been practicing."
[Megamind:] Whomever said being a superhero would be easy? Obviously not the guy who was supost to tell me that!
My dehydration ray was on it's last legs as I blasted raptor after raptor with it. "I hope everone else is having fun!" I snapped.
[Stratogale:] I was having fun alright. I would summon my crow friends to lift the raptors into portals Chell created and they would be dropped right into them.
[Chell:] Raptor after raptor screamed as one by one they were dropped into the basement to rot. "Hows the progress there guys?" I called to Vi, Adam, Neo & the others.
[Vi:] In defense of my boyfriend, I'd held up a forcefield around us, but it was sinking fast!
"Not so hot," I said. "There's too many of them!"
[Neo:] "Someone needs to blow up this place, before it gets overrun by dinosaurs," I said as I dodged a spray of bullets from another raptor, and accidentally blundered into one behind me.
"Clever girl," I muttered, just before it pounced upon me and attempted to crush my head in its jaws.
[Pluck:] Just in the nick of time, I threw one of my Buckbombs into the thing, knocking it away. Neo leaped onto my Stompybot just as the Buckbomb exploded, taking out the raptor with it. "There's a weapon store down there somewhere!" I cried. "If we can ignite all the armory stuff then the whole building will explode!"
[Chell:] "Done deal, KFC!" I called as I launched a portal to the weapon store. "launch a bot down that!" (cluck)
[Pluck:] "Way ahead of you!" I cried, tossing one of the Buckbomb eggs into the storage. "We've got only two minutes before the whole thing goes boom! Get everyone out of there!"
[David:] I needed no telling twice. But before I could do anything, one of the raptors launched itself onto me and slashed at my chest, leaving a deep bleeding gash!
[Phylange:] I'm not too sure why I did what I did next. Hell, David had lost me a huge chunk of cash back in the Golden Age. But did this thing I did... I let out a soprano blast at the raptor which left a huge hole in the wal, as well as one in the raptor.
[Stratogale:] That was our chance. "EVERYONE OUT!" I called and followed by Dash, Chell, Mr. Parr, Megamind, Phylange and Uncle Thunderhead, we flew the coop.
[Vi:] The problem was that all the canisters were still there.
"Megamind!" I cried. "WE STILL NEED TO SAVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE!!!"
[Adam:] I swooped back down and shifted back to my human form with an awkward two-point landing.
I got to my feet. "Chell, toss a portal outside. Then if anyone has telekinesis, send all the canisters through the portal with it!"
[Megamind:] I didn't need to be told twice by her. as soon as I could, I could I used my telekinetic brain to pick up the canisters. "NOW CHILL!"
[Chell:] "It's...oh never mind!" I said as I blasted a portal into the wall, holding steady in case the raptors decided to get through.
Then, as the canisters were all taken outside, I closed the portal just in time.
[Adam:] Thankfully, everyone made it through the portal and out the door. Well, almost everyone.
I was just about to follow, but one of the raptors leaped onto my back and crunched into my skull! As the horrible pain of a huge killing claw ripping my back open coursed through my body, I thought I was going to die. But thankfully, the Buckbomb exploded.
[Vi:] I watched in horror as the entire building blew up in a brilliant orange fireball. Adam was the only one who hadn't made it out! "ADAM!!!" I screamed in horror.
[Stratogale:] In blind panic I rushed back to see what had happened. I lifted up a wall and...(turn)
[Vi:] I gasped in horror. Nothing was left of the building but smoldering ruins. Adam was gone.
"No..." I sobbed, collapsing to my knees, tears running down my face. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
[Helen:] "Oh, poor Adam..." I said, trying to console her. "He lived a great life. And he helped a great deal."
[Stratogale:] As all this was going on, a figure walked out of the rubble. That figure belonged to me, and in my arms... was Adam, unconscious.
[Adam:] I was covered in burn marks, bleeding, a deep gash on my back, bloody tooth marks on my temples where the raptor had bitten me. But I was alive, just barely.
[Vi:] "Adam!" I cried, rushing up to the two of them. "Adam! Please be okay, please be okay, PLEASE BE OKAY!!!"
[Kate:] "What's going on?" I gasped.
[David:] "Adam's hurt, bad," I said. "That explosion must have taken quite its toll."
[Pluck:] My eyes widened behind my goggles, horrified. I guess that Buckbomb must have been a step too far.
[Bob:] Picking up Adam in my arms and seeing the pained expression on Vi's face, I knew we HAD to get him to a hospital or something.
"Helen honey, find a hospital for Adam." I saids handing him to her.
"Sarah, vi. follow her to the hospital."
[Stratogale:] "Got it sir." I said, and dragging vi, we made our way.
[Adam:] I coughed a few drops of blood as my eyes slowly opened.
"S-Sarah," I said in labored breathing. "There's something I wanted to tell you..."
[Sarah:] I looked back at her as we flew along side Helen. "What is it Vi?"
[Vi:] "No, I think that was Adam!"
[Adam:] I coughed again. "I'm your long-lost brother," I said. "It was your DNA they used to create me alongside the Pteranodon material."
[Sarah:] I swallowed in shock. For the past 15 years since my death, I had had a test tube brother. "A-a-adam....Why didn't you say anything?"
[Adam:] "I was too busy trying to save myself," I said, indicating the bite marks. "I was going to tell you after the chaos, but I got caught in the blast front. It was lucky the raptor was on top of me, or I would have been incinerated instead."
[Helen:] We got in the car, with Vi and Sarah holding Adam in the back seat.
"Shhh, don't strain yourself," I said. "Let's get to the hospital to patch you up first."
[Sarah:] I began to sob as we got into the car. "My...brother," I said to no one. And I burst into tears ans we drove towards the hospital.
But there was more to fight. We still had a long way to go before Aperture was destroyed. But it wouldn't be but a few weeks before the world saw the rise of a new Super family... the Galeforces.
