Chapter 3: Chapter 3:Base A12

4 years ago

"She is losing control!", a girl with green hair shouted, her voice trembling, eyes filled with panic as she stared ahead at a room through a glass wall.

There wasn’t much inside the white room except for technical machinery hooked with wires, the other end of the wires were hooked on to the girl’s body who was laying on the ground.She was curled up in pain, pupils dilated, her fingers were bloody as she tried to dig them deep into the ground because of the pain, hoping to relieve some of it.The wires were fluctuating rapidly with high energy and the girl’s breathing quickened more and more.

Alarms started to ring, turning the white room bloody red with the warning.

The tips of her light white colored hair were turning black as she gasped for air. She seemed to be drowning deep as she hoped for even just a light breath of air.

The girl with green hair outside grew more panicked. She turned her head around to ask for help but saw the woman in white looking through the glass wall with solemn expression on her face.

"Miss Honey….please..do something she….",the girl with green hair begged.

The woman in white frowned but she just stood there without moving, looking straight ahead, not saying a word.

Boom!!

Suddenly the machinery exploded inside the room, sparks and debris flew with smoke crowding the room. The wires sparked with energy for a second before it dimmed down. The girl’s white hair had turned completely black as she who was struggling calmed down and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead.

"Star!"

She was panting slightly as she squatted on the edge of the rooftop of the two story abandoned building. The white bandages wrapped around her body were dyed red with blood. Her light colored hair swaged with the wind as her cloud-like eyes stared straight into the eyes of the wild beast.

The body of the wild beast was covered with gray fur and a few patches were dyed black with blood. The wild beast was almost 10 feet tall with horns and claws so sharp it could rip apart anything with a slight touch. The beast let out a roar as its hungry eyes stared at the girl on the roof. It pounced on the girl with its claws but the girl didn’t run away. She jumped forward towards the pouncing beast and before the beast could rip her apart, the girl’s hand sparked blue as she pierced straight through the beast’s chest. The giant beast paused, its eyes widened as it stared into those cloud-like eyes. The girl took her hand back and the bloody heart of the beast followed out of it.

Thump-

The body of the beast fell down heavily on the ground. She held no emotions as she crushed the beast’s heart turning it into ashes.

These kinds of beasts were huge and tall but their weakness was their heart which was just a little bit bigger than a human heart. It would take advantage of its huge size to scare the enemy and hunt them with its claws.

She flicked her bloody hand and approached the girl with green hair who let out a huge sigh.

"Rose. I told you to hide. What are you running here for your death?",she said with her low voice.

"I was worried. You’re hurt. Let’s treat your wounds." Rose grabbed her and urged her inside an abandoned building.

The inside of the abandoned building was filled with dust and things piled all over the floor. They found a clean corner and sat there. Once they settled down Rose took out some medical supplies from her backpack.

Star was leaning against the wall as Rose took her right bloody hand and started unwrapping the bandages. As each layer of bandages unwrapped her pale skin was seen exposing all the scars and wound holes all around her skin.

Her right shoulder was scratched by the beast. Rose cleaned the wound and applied some medicine. Star did not let out any noise nor did she say whether it was painful or not but Rose thought it must have been painful just like ....all those other scars.

Rose grabbed a new clean roll of bandages and tried to start a conversation as she wrapped it from her shoulder all the way to her wrist, maybe to distract Star or maybe to distract herself from looking at those pale skin covered with scars.

"Are we really going to base A12?",she said.

"Hmm…", Star looked a bit distracted but she still replied.

"Why don't you want to go? Isn’t it too late to say that?"

Rose shook her head,"No. I will follow you no matter what. I just ….didn’t expect Miss Honey to actually allow me to leave with you."

Star 'hmm'-ed and didn’t speak. Rose finished wrapping her hand and looked at her. She was looking at the ground, her long eyelashes dropping down. Her face was very pale and there was a slight blush on her cheeks maybe because she was fighting earlier. Rose gaze wandered from her face to her hair and she couldn’t help but say,

"Your….braids are still black."

Star’s hair wasn’t long but a small section of her hair on the right side was braided. Her short hair was a beautiful white color except for that braided hair which had turned completely black.

Star seemed to have come back to her senses as she said,"Don’t worry. It won’t turn back white anymore."

"Oh…", Rose knew she shouldn’t talk about this so she returned to her previous conversation.

"I gathered some information about base A12. The situation there seems kind of hectic."

"What’s the situation?"

….

Base A12 being the largest base was abundant and resourceful. When the number of wild beasts began to overtake the civilized creatures, base A12 was one of the first bases formed to live in somewhat safety. Everyone living there was given a Id card which could be used throughout the whole base.Those who wanted to leave the base required the Id card or else they wouldn’t be able to get in and out of the base. Base A12 had one of the most intense security systems as the base itself was surrounded with thick walls on all four sides, army guarding the base with weapons from those wild beasts.

The very first few 100 years of base A12 after it was built were peaceful allowing everyone to live without any issues. But as the creatures were said to be selfish by nature, more and more wanted to live in base A12 as it was the most resourceful and powerful among other bases. Due to this conflict began to rise among the living. Those with high power rank began to take advantage and soon the base was thrown into chaos. Those with low power rank began to struggle and began to fight back raising their voices but the base government turned a blind eye to them as they were busy modifying the base and conducting research. 

When the situation got out of control the base government finally made their move. The government made a law that no one was allowed to use their power inside the base unless they were training their power during military training, of course not everyone followed the rules.The base army began to train all those with high power rank and started forming teams to go out to venture outside the base in the wild whether to collect resources or to send and receive materials within other bases. Of course the situation wasn’t fully solved. Even in the base army, many held competitive nature but rules were rules as they held themselves back but only inside the base. While those army teams formed were sent out for missions not all of them returned back. It was clear that going out for missions was dangerous but it wouldn’t stop the selfish nature of the living. Those who lost their family members during their mission slowly started to realize something was wrong and started to question the base army but they would either get ignored or told that their family member died while fighting those wild beasts. Neither side had proof and those family members couldn’t do anything but stay silent. It was made clear that if someone died outside the base, the base would not take responsibility.

So, although those living in the base were safe from wild beasts they weren’t safe among themselves.

…..

"The base …security is very high. How are we going to get in? Will they take us in?",Rose wondered a little worried about the situation.

Star listened to the base situation and replied,"Don’t worry I’ll find a way. Once we get in you don’t have to follow me. I’ll find a place for you to settle down and lay low."

"No. I want to follow you. How are.."

Before Rose could finish her word Star spoke,"I’ll join the base army. They would surely want someone with S rank power. Those with S rank are hard to find. You don’t need to follow me. Your power rank is only C rank. The base army isn’t safe for you besides I’ve to do other things. I won’t be able to always keep an eye on you."

Rose suddenly grabbed Star's hand and said,"No. I have to be with you. I can’t rest assured without being by your side. I will join the base army with you. Although my power is only C rank, my special ability is very useful. I can use my special ability to get in."

Star looked at Rose’s determined face and asked,"Are you sure?"

"Yes."
