The Last Of His Kind: a story of Rage
Part 6
By John Davies
10/28/2000
The expression on Rage's face was one of sheer terror. "Why have you brought me here?" he screamed. "Take me away from here, now!"
Altyu sighed yet again. "It is important we be here, Rage. You have learned the consequences of reacting to your emotions, now it is time to learn just what has changed those emotions since that day."
The cold walls and floors of the Enclave headquarters assaulted Rage's senses. He had tried to put this place behind him, but to no avail. "Please! I do not want to experience this again, you must take me away from here!"
Altyu was not prepared for the look of sheer terror on Rage's face, it was something he thought he would never see on the fearless creature. "We must do this Rage, I have no control over what you experience, I only set this event into motion, what is brought to us, is controled by whatever it is was that deemed that you need to learn from these experiences. I am only a a pawn in this, like you are. Please, we must continue. Remember, while we are in this state, that little girl in the real world is unprotected."
Rage was torn between his urge to run, and his urge to help the little girl he had saved from the caravan. His sense of honour inevitibly won out. "Let's just get this over with as quick as possible."
"You are the one who controls this now Rage, all you have to do is let go of your fear, and we will move on to the next step."
"Let go of my fear? You do not understand Old man, They mutilated me! They performed experiments on me! They made me a guinea pig! I am not even one of my kind anymore! They changed me into this hideous bastard breed!"
"If you cannot deal with your fear, then use it. Use it to pin point in on the memory, so that we can move on to it, and get out of here!"
"All I can remember about what happened here is the face, that face that always seemed to be in my vision, I remember nothing else about this place but fear!
"Then focus onto that face, let it draw you to the person it belonged to."
The visage of the face was stuck into Rage's memory, every detail, from the bald head, to the grim determined expression, even the mole on the person's nose, it all was clear to Rage.
Altyu smiled as the air about them shimmered. They were now standing in a laboratroy.
The fear rage was experiencing grew at an alarming pace as he looked around, the sights and smells of this place were reappearing into his memory. "I have to deal with this!" he thought.
Vials and canisters filled the tables with every liquid imagineble, medical instruments accompanied the vials on top of the table, some were basic scalpels, while some were in the range of death instruments, with every concievable type of blade possible. But the prominent object in the room was a twelve foot tall tank, filled with blue liquid, and a humanoid form.
Altyu walked up to the tank and studied the form inside. It appeared to be a deathclaw, but smaller, and with slight variations of appearance, and a more humanlike face. "So, this is what they did to you" He said to Rage.
"They altered my gene's to change me into a half breed, one part human, and one part Deathclaw. I was an experiment!"
"For what purpose, I wonder."
"What does it matter! They did it, and I will never be the same."
Voices coming through a small door in the room caught both of their attentions.
"Ahhh, I see that the chosen one has arrived to speak to the doctor, if my estimates are correct, this place will be destroyed within fifteen minutes.
"How do you know this?" Rage asked.
"Because, the chosen one was guided by one of my kind, although she did not know it. I know all that happened on her journey. But that doesn't matter, if we are still in this place when it is destroyed, we will not be able to return to our reality."
"What do we need to do to escape from this? I do not see what it is that I was sent here for."
"It will come to you. But, for now, we have to wait, until your former self awakens. As I recall, you weren't all too happy to find yourself here.
******
Rage and altyu waited until a voice sounded over the intercom. "Warning! reactor core critical, core meltdown in ten minutes. All personale must evacuate."
A person came running into the room through the door, he ran around the laboratory collecting pieces of paper and various items off of the table, he then walked up the tank."
"Ahhh, my pet. I am sorry that you will not survive, you were my greatest creation!"
The body in the tank stirred,
"You may want to turn your head if you have a weak stomache old man." Rage said to Altyu.
The eyes of the body in the tank opened, all it could see, was the face of the man standing before the tank.
"How is this possible? You are not supposed to be able to awaken yet!" The man shouted.
The eyes of the figure in the tank gleamed with pure hatred. It raised one of it's arms, and sent it's fist crashing through the glass of the tank, straight into the man's head. Gore spllattered on everything in the room, as the liquid of the tank spilled out, along with the figure.
A tremendous roar erupted from the former Rage as he groped around the floor, unaccustomed to his new body.
The voice over the intercom sounded again. "eight minutes to reactor core meltdown, all personel procede to escape ships.
Recognition of danger dawned upon the former Rage, he raised himself up off the floor, and stumbled to the open door.
"Come, we must follow" Altyu said to Rage.
The two had to run to keep up with the now quickened pace of the former Rage.
The two were running through the blood of the enclave guards that tried to get in his way, trying not to slip on the blood soaked floors.
They eventually made it to the top floor, where they heard gun shots ringing out into the air.
"The battle between the chosen one and her enemies is coming to an end. She will win, but at the cost of her friends."
Screams filled the air, accompanied by the sounds of bullets ripping through flesh.
"Four minutes until core meltdown, all personel must evacuate."
The noise of battle ended, all was quiet.
The former Rage hesitated for a moment, and then ran through the open doors into the lobby of the base, with Altyu and Rage following behind him.
"Warning, core meltdown in 2 minutes, all personel must evacuate."
Rage skidded to a halt as he entered the lobby, blood covered every inch of the floor, accompanied by at least eight bodies, one appeared to be the largest figure he had ever seen, covered in grey metal armour. Two were humans, and another was what appeared to be the shattered remains of a super mutant. The four other bodies were clad in Power Armour.
"Such loss, this place was not blessed by anything good." Rage said. "But I don't understand, what are a super mutant and two humans doing here? Why were they in this battle?"
"They were the chosen one's companions, they died here to help save the world."
"Where is the chosen one?"
"She left for the ship Rage, she had to leave them behind, they chose to sacrifice themselves for the greater good."
"But how could she abandon her friend's bodies like this? They will be here when this place blows up, that is no proper burial!"
"Let me ask you this, rage. What is the point of sacrificing your life in the goal of burying your friends, who willingly sacrificed themselves?"
"But, it is not right... I didn't leave Sela when she needed me!"
"And look what happened because of that."
Revelation struck Rage like a well placed punch. "Sacrifices must be made for the greater good, this is what I am here to learn."
Altyu smiled. "It is time to leave, you have learned what you need to know."
The air shifted as Rage and Altyu began the travel back to their reality.
To be continued...
"I am the bringer of death, and the cry of sorrow, I am the one who... ah hell, I broke a nail."
