Gary and the rest that were with him had stopped in place when they had heard the alarm. Following Kanu rather than running straight ahead, they had decided to circle around to the back of the courthouse and went toward the exit there.
Not many of the prisoners had decided to do this; a few did, and this was a good and bad strategy because it meant they didn’t have as much chaos to go through.
Right after hearing the alarm, though, they also heard the announcement with it.
“Come on, we need to keep going, we can’t slow down, otherwise we’ll get caught up in the mess!” Kanu answered.
The group continued to run across mainly gravel on the floor. Out from one of the buildings to the right, a large number of White Rose agents had come out, and their bodies were already starting to transform.
They leapt on the other prisoners and were engaged in combat, trading blows, but the prisoners were almost quickly dealt with because they were being overwhelmed.
“Kanu, we never talked about this, what would happen if we were seen with them as well!” Sadie asked.
“Well, what’s there to talk about, we said we would break these guys out, so if we need to fight against other agents, then that means we’ll fight against other agents!” Kanu suggested.
Sadie would have much preferred the original plan. To sneak into the prison, take them out, and pretend they were escorting the prisoners around the White Rose base, but with the situation how it was, now it was putting everything at risk.
Right in front of the group, they could see a squad captain along with his group of ten or so agents come out and stood in the way of Gary’s and the others.
“Everyone be careful, that’s a squad captain!” Kanu shouted out.
However, Gary had kicked off from where he was, sprinting up ahead, he had leapt over the captain, grabbing him by his head and flipping his body, slamming it onto the ground before the captain could even transform.
He quickly punched one of the members in the face, sending his body spinning in the air, and kicked another in the stomach, sending him flying and his body hitting a tree.
Right after that, Gary continued on running.
“Hurry up, we’re getting out of here!” Gary shouted, turning back.
Blackjack, and Ice were doing the same, a plan of an attack and move, and they did just that. Hitting the people in a way that would result in them not getting back up again and moving.
Then it was Kanu, Sadie, and Frank’s turn, but they each only had one opponent to deal with because of the others, and swiftly carried on running with the rest of the group.
“Crap, the prisoners really are strong, did you see what they did!” Frank said with a wide smile on his face.
“I don’t think it’s a good thing that we are complimenting the prisoners' strength,” Sadie replied back.
Although Kanu kept quiet, he was thinking the same thing. These prisoners weren’t your standard run of the crop. They were able to deal blows to other Altered agents, and not only that, the one that had impressed him most of all was Gary.
He had taken out a squad leader so quickly, his movements, his strength, among other things.
‘He wasn’t this strong in the AFC, right? I knew he was talented that time, and that he was keeping an eye on him, but to have this much strength.’
‘I guess I know how they were able to take out the Warden now,’ Kanu thought.
Just up ahead, the wall could be seen along with one of the entrances. It was reinforced with steel, but not the entire wall. With his claws, Gary was sure he could easily scale it, and from the looks of things, there were only two people standing by the gate.
That was until, the sound of cutting air was heard from above, and going right past them was a helicopter. As it reached the gate, a large thick man had jumped down from the helicopter, landing on the ground.
He had a large beard with grey hair, and he wasn’t the only one that had jumped from the helicopter. Two squad captains along with a team of twenty people, ten from each squad, had all jumped from the helicopter and stood in the way of the rest of the group.
Immediately, Kanu stopped, skidding on the ground along with the rest of them.
“What’s this?” the large man said. “I can’t believe it, our White Rose agents are working with the prisoners in their escape? Now we know why things have turned out this way, no wonder they could get past the Warden. I can’t believe it, of all people it was you, Kanu!”
The man with the large black beard, Gary had noticed him when he was being transported into the courtroom with the others, he remembered his badge, this was Chief Jones. When seeing him before with his squad leaders, Gary had felt fear back then, but not this time, he didn’t feel the same fear.
“Crap!” Blackjack said to himself. “We were so close to the exit as well, and from the sounds of things, everyone really is on the move.”
Blackjack was right, all of the agents had come out from their buildings and were protecting the wall, stopping anyone from leaving, and even now behind Gary and the rest of his group, there were Altered agents behind them as well.
“Just give yourself in!” Jones shouted.
One of the White Rose agents' arms extended out, it was swirling and had turned into a black pointed end like an arrow. Right at that moment, Gary grabbed the pointed end, and with his other hand, he grabbed onto the arm and pulled the agent forward.
The agent was seen in the air flying with the strength of him pulling him forward. As the agent’s body came towards Gary he threw a fist down, punching the agent right to the floor and causing gravel to explode in the center.
Through the dust of the gravel, Jones could see Gary’s red glowing eyes, and when it settled he could see his agent defeated on the ground.
“I’m leaving this prison no matter what!” Gary shouted. “If you want to chase me, and take me down, then you're going to have to bring your whole f*ckin army!”
