I have never seen more genetically positives in my life! Lasers, bullets,

flames, ice, water, glass, you name it everything is flying at my shield. Over a

hundred humanoids are present in the 500m distance between us and the

checkpoint.

The helicopter explodes behind us knocking my shields strength down to a

level I’m not comfortable with. The normal soldiers with us don’t even stand a

chance against this chaos.

Even with my shield dulling much of the noise, I can still barely hear Elaine

giving orders, even though she’s right beside me. I have to rely on my ear piece.

“Push forward to the communication tower, we’ll break up and start clearing

the area. Kim report shield status!” Elaine bellows in my ear.

“Not good, we have to hurry, I can’t hold it much longer!” I answer.

“We’ll be fighting from all directions Elaine! We’re surrounded!” Helena

fires back.

“Then we attack from all directions!” Elaine yells.

“We’re gonna die.” I whisper aloud.

My shield prematurely breaks and we run to our small defence line. The

soldiers are almost instantly picked off, but we make it to the cement and metal

shields provided. Without words we begin arranging them in a circle while

attacking our fellow experiments.

Helena grabs a few electric explosives and flies above the battle, dropping

them on our foes, electrocuting them in the process. It shouldn’t kill them but they

won’t wake up for a while. We decided no killing anyone, they’re just
experiments who didn't ask to become a meat shield for Syndrome.

Elaine stands on our cover firing her crossbow at anything that moves in the
legs. I stand outside the compound keeping them as far away from the

communication station as I can.
