Ghost's N' Stuff

In Austarlia, there was a facility/lab that had a computer containing information on the spy called "Ghost". Though it contained more about what happened to him and whats happening, then his past days.

The Facility has two floors, its pretty good condition. Its in a side of a mountain, it has two metal doors, though one is hanging of its hinges and just barely, looks rusted through. On the first floor is three rooms, The greeting area with two security cameras and a dying light that flickers, it contains a desk with a broken computer ans tile flooring (the entire facility has tile flooring). Then in a hallways is the second level with two rooms right off next to the stairs, one is a chem room with tons of acids and not fun stuff. The other room is an old lunch hall with turned over tables with a counter that was made to serve food. In the back of the lunch room is a kitchen and a stair up to the second level.

The second level is a bit bigger and has four floors. The first is an empty barracks containing empty gun racks and files on a multitude of agents, including a certain french man. the other two are offices with details on lab experiments, accounts, etc. The last room though is a office with a file in a drawer, this file is about Ghost. The entire building is bigger then it sounds with tons of hallways leading to dead ends, ment to confuse the enemy should they break in. The lights in the facility are dying and constantly flicker.

Ghost sits in the Lunch room (in his suit) coughing black stuff, his soul pounding with rage as it coughs more. His fingers grow into claws, his face begins to melt, he begins to hunch over, rage over taking him. Though he sits there, bearing the pain as he slowly transforms. He knows something is wrong and thats why he came, but he never thought this was happening. He never felt such pain...or rage, so much rage and anger...so much.

The last time Bliss made her way to Australia, she almost left in the custody of the Australian government thanks to the unwelcome intrusion of a certain animal mimicing superhero. Bliss turned him over for good measure, but the two of them made nice and Bliss left- without her phone, but she left. This time, Bliss expected just as cordial of a welcome, but hoped to leave on better terms.

A few days ago Bliss and her fiance, Ashley helped stop a grand larceny during the national cheerleading championships that Bliss would never want to talk about, but at least the greater Australian area was not destroyed by, well, anything. Bliss had other reasons for coming to Australia though. Reason she kept to herself and kept from the rest of the team she employed, other than the one person she trusted enough to confide in. So, the two of them made their way towards the abandoned weapons facility under the guise of a formal outing.

A formal outing of the rather well known tech giant couple made their appearances out in the streets of Australia, but they did not stay there. Under their formal dressing, Bliss in a blue dress that ran just halfway up her thigh with a pair of black ankle high boots and Ashley wearing a stylish black dress that twisted around her waist with a pair of heels, the duo prepared for an infiltration of a nearby facility hidden within a mountain. After a well deserved meeting, the duo made their way back to the limo. Bliss outfitted it with an automated driver. While it began diving, Bliss slipped into her blue body suit while Ashley fit into a form fitting pink version. The two of them outfitted themselves with some tech gear, while they waited for the limo to stop at the precise light they waited for.

Once the limo hit a stop a perfect stop, Bliss opened a hatch in the bottom of the limo and Ashley slipped down and removed the manhole cover. The two slid down, and the limo drove off. No one suspected the departure at all. The duo made their way down the hall with only the buzz of the lights in their wrist watches lighting the way.

"What's wrong?" Ashley put her hand on Bliss' shoulder.

"What? Nothing. We've got a ways to go." Bliss shut off and moved forward, prying closer to her goal.

"You haven't talked about anything real in years. You've fought cults, been kidnapped by tons of people, and continue to fight, but you never talk about it. Why?"

"Maybe, I don't want to talk about everything bad in the world, and everything bad that happens to me. Maybe, I don't want to think about what bad things could happen to you. Sure, jerks capture me from time to time, but I can get out, and I can stop them. If they get you them-"

"Don't think you're so tough, or you're protecting me. I've bailed you out enough to know I'm just as tough as you. Maybe more so."

Bliss dropped her eyes in annoyance and almost spoke in her defense before Ashely put her finger on top of Bliss' upper lip. "I think we're here. Or Australia needs to update more of its facilities."

"No. This is it." Bliss took the computer off her wrist and plugged it into the wall mainframe. "Let me figure out what this place looks like and if it still has power. Once I do that, we'll go in."

"Don't worry, Bliss." Ashley pulled the flashlight from her wrist and activated the laser gauntlet on her left hand. "I can handle the recon while you dork around. For god sake, doesn't Abby do it all the time."

"Well yeah, but I hardly care if Abby dies at all." Bliss rubbed the bruise she got from Abby kicking her in the side of the head. "As a matter of fact, if you find her dead in the next few days, you know where to start."

"Love ya." Ashley sparked her taser and moved into the first floor of the facility while Bliss dabbled with the computer work outside.

"I'm right behind you."

Rage, the only thing Ghost thought about was rage, rage, and rage. Anger about his life, about the company that did this to him, about the people who get in his way, everything, everything should just go away and die! Black gunk begins to leak through the holes in his mouth as he slowly gets up and lets out a scream of pain as he holds his face, still trying to control the rage, but is quickly overwhelming him as he gives his last will to hold back. Anything alive thats close to him would suddenly have all of his thoughs rush through there heads.

Ghost, after his scream begins to leave the lunch room, up the stairs. He isn't holding his head anymore. He simply wanders up the stairs without a sound, sticking to the shadows.

A couple of old codes ran by Bliss' face. Looks like no one updated the place in a while; this could take a while for her to reconfigure. "Hey Ash. Keep you eyes open; these codes are tough. It's like reading Latin."

"Isn't that language of love?" Ashley shined her light through the greeting area before heading towards the back of the floor.

"If dead things no one cares about after fifteen hundred years are lovely, then I guess it was love at first sight."

"Oh who say sight has anything to say about love?" Ashley explored a deadend hallway before turning back. "Sometimes, you just hear the voice and fall in love."

"Yeah, we'll I'm not loving this code. We used to call it Lascaux, after the images in France when I took- well you-"

"Yeah, I know. When my dad taught you about computers. He was never as good as you though." Ashley kept moving towards an open area. Files lining the room. "He never said anything bad about you."

"Was that expression mutual?" Bliss kept working away to update some of the older code to the format she created for quantum computing.

"You know how much I love you right?" The files looked peaked through for some point, but no lights in the area other than Ashley's flashlight gave any more insight.

"Now? Yes. Then, I was in the dark." While Bliss opened the coding up, she gave a very good insight into where she was. The code came to life and began to change many fixtures on the bottom floor. The lights remained off, but within a few minutes, Bliss would have full access to the entire building. "Why the interest in the past? Weren't we talking about Latin?"

"Yeah. Latin." Ashley began to look through the files, casually blowing Bliss off.

"Earth to Ashley. Are you still there." Her fingers tread quickly over the keys manifested from her gauntlet as she tried to get Ashley's attention from the files before her.

A scream echoed out through the halls, but neither of the girls took a lasting focus on it. They stopped for a moment, but the silence fed them a complacency.

"I guess it's nothing." Ashley said as she set some of the files labelled Ghost down and picked up another.

In the cameras, you might see white eyes slowly creeping down hall ways, but then dissapear.
Ghost would roam around, until he came to where Ashley was, he then put his fingers on the doorway, making a klink sound as he looked in, A feeling of unease would began to settle as ghost crawled closer, though instead he began to climb on the ceiling like a spider toward her. He would stop right above her. He would then try to drop on her. feelings of rage would draw upon her as he got closer. If he got the drop on her, he would try and claw her with his claws, while dripping his black gunk. On the way to her, she would hear drops, like water droplets coming closer and closer, but its very faint.

"I think I found something good." Ashley felt something hit her on the shoulder. She looked up, but saw nothing. A slight drip of water impacted on her shoulder, but she could not find the source. "Remember Ghost?"

"Ashley, I can barely make you out at all." The coding started to look more like Bliss wanted it. No more archaic coding filled the monitors, but instead a pair of whit eyes ran across the screen. "Ashley. Something weird is near you."

A static shot through Ashley's headset. "Bliss, I can barely make out anything you are saying."

On the other side of the monitor, Bliss managed to get a hold of the layout of the facility. The blueprints, the doors, and more importantly, the cameras. There, Bliss made out the form of Ghost stalking the room. Bliss felt her heart drop. Her words meant nothing. The call into her headset was met with no response. She felt her only response come as she yelled into the corridor, not knowing how far down Ashley was, or how much she would need to yell to warn her, but knowing she needed to get Ashley out of trouble. Bliss started to move as her wristband calibrated with the systems, and then she took off down the halls.

Hope on her side she was not too late.

Ghost would hold her by the neck with his clawed hand as he would tilt his head and stare her as his other hand would slowly come foward for a final jab, but ghost still had some fight to resist. He would fling her instead, it would be harder then usual.

Ghost would then hold his head in agony. He didn't want to kill, he didn't want this! He wanted to sleep...so tired, but he had a mission, though he never wanted the person called "Bliss" and her gang to show, now he would have to deal with them all...and they would di- NO, but..the rage...rage.

Ghost would scream his Banshee scream if Bliss ran in, he would then lunge at her with a jump, claws aimed right at her, his eyes stareing into hers.

The room in front of her did not show any sign of Ghost. Nor Ashley. Bliss kept pushing forward. Each one of the halls turning into a deadend, but Bliss not want to think of that. No way would see say the word dead again in regard to that. "Ashley?"

"Hey, I can hear you." Ashley put the file down and stepped away from the files.

"Ashley. Get out of there." Bliss kept her endeavor to find Ashley, her wrist locator finally kicking in.  "You need to find somewhere, and just, I don't know, stay safe."

"Safe from what?" Ashley felt the drop fall on her again. This would not just be an anomaly of the air conditioner. "How did Ghost capture you that one time Bliss?"

"Don't bring that up." The door knob moved in an odd way as Bliss grabbed a hold of Ashley's arm and started to pick herself off the ground.
"You were always stronger than me. You work out and it shows."

"Maybe the view is better from down there." Ashley lost track of the danger she could not spot as she reached down to help Bliss up."I told you to come along with me to the gym."

Lost in the transaction was Ghost's presence. It only lasted a moment, but the shriek he gave out deafened the duo. Bliss tried to put up a defense as a mobile telekinetic shield, but knew with how close Ashley remained to her, it would hurt her just as much. Bliss instead went for a more focused attack to try and force Ghost off, but his scream kept her accuracy from slamming Ghost into the wall. At best, her attack would hit him in the side and possibly keep him a little off target.[/color]

Ghost would slam into the wall and got up slowly as he stared at them, he would them began to slowly run at them and then jump toward them, especially going after Bliss.

Ghosts suit would take some damage but not much, just chinking the frame a bit. You would notice that he moves slower, and stealthier but stuff drips from his mouth, hes hunched over, and he has long claws instead of fingers.

Ghost felt more rage soon as he was thrown onto the wall, but only one person could do that, her name was Bliss, he hated her, she kept stealing stuff that he needed. She made him suffer..the pain, he wanted payback, he wanted to bring all the pain he suffered on top of her and watch her fall under the weight. Even the normal part wanted revenge. Now was the time to take it as he lunged at her, dripping black gunk all the way toward her.

The claws felt sharp in every way except in her flesh. Bliss felt the goop drip down upon her, but it did not burn. It did not parallelize. It did not phase her out of reality. Maybe a feint, but for sure, Bliss missed her attack, otherwise, Ghost would not have her pinned down.

"Bliss! I got this!" Ashley tugged at Ghost from behind, hoping to pull him off of Bliss. "Hey! She's mine!" Both of Ashley's hands fell to her side, anticipating the attack Ghost would send towards her more than Bliss did.

While Ashley gained her stance, Bliss tried to get back to her feet. No way could she let Ashley fend off this threat for her again. Not after the last time when Ghost left Bliss bound and gagged to a chair. Or the time Ghost left Bliss simply bound to a chair. No way would she allow this to go without indictment. "You and me."

"Don't worry. He's tough, but I remember to avoid his touch." Ashley sent out a blast of energy to try and drive Ghost back.

"He's got more than that. Those claws are serious business, and that shriek is something else." Bliss may have let out more than she should have in that moment. While the claws could easily be seen as an advantage, the shriek still remained to be truly tested. After Ashley let out a blast, Bliss would try to erect a shield to keep Ghost at bay from closing the distance while Bliss would try and pull Ashley out.

Ghost would be blasted back, but he recovered quickly as he snapped a socket back in place. He would charge and jump, trying to make it past the shield as he jumps he would say "Bliss...coming for you." is sound smooth for once, but it sounds wispy and darker, demonic like so to speak. Gunk would spirt out of his mouth when he says his words, its kinda like an actual ghost speaking to you.

It wouldn't be obvious, but to a careful examiner, it seems like ghost is guarding the information on him, he would stand there for a minute, trying to see what they would do while slowing crawling forward on all fours, if they go to run, then he would chase after them as fast as he could. If they try to go past them, then he is prepared for energy or some charge of sort.

"He remembers you." Ashley put her hand against Bliss' chest and pushed her back. "That's not good."

"You think I don't know." As the momentum pushed Bliss back, she could only try to regain her stature in emotion as he physical stature fell back. "Hey! I saved you from this guy."

"I know." Ashley pulled Bliss forward with a telekinetic grab and kissed her upon the lips. "Now, we're going to make it harder for him to chase us." Ashley fled to the left, pulling the files she found towards her.

Bliss watched as Ashley fled. Her kissed lips turned from surprise to a smile. "Tough luck." A force shot out to try and throw Ghost back as Bliss took off towards the right. If he wanted to get Bliss, he would have to let Ashley make off with the files.

Ghost would tilt his head as he watched them split. He then had to decide, hate or reason, hate or reason...so much anger, so much. Ghost would take off after Bliss after he narrowly dodged that bolt of hers.

While chasing her he would scream and run after her. If he caught up he would go to lunge at her, bring her to the ground, then shred her to bits.

In his mind, Ghost was trapped. In a cage, made of hate and rage. But he was breaking out, slowly, but he only needed a couple more bars. Then he could think rationally and free himself from this mess. It was his only hope, before he butchered Bliss...though a part of him wanted to, it was never good to hurt women.

Ashely had the files, but it felt hollow. For a few minutes no one followed her. No one contacted her. A tracing device would show her where Bliss headed off to, but Bliss started to move off away from the entrance. If she took that trajectory, then no doubt Ghost took the bait to go for her. She kept the files. "Bliss. I'm good. I'm heading to the exit. I'll hide the files before coming back." Nothing came from the other end.

Bliss ran straight into a dead end. Her hands felt the cold ends of the wall. Her particles blast put a dent in the wall, but it would take more than a single blast o make its way through. A second and third blast even did nothing. No steps followed, but Ghost did not leave those behind. He always stalked, but always gave a pair of haunting eyes to give himself away. "Let's have at it." Bliss tightened her fists. Ashley would not help her, but Bliss preferred it that way. No one could take Ashley hostage and Bliss could not hurt her. Bliss took a deep breath and waited for Ghost to come towards her, keeping a shield up to break if he came at her from behind.

Ghost would peek around the corner and would quickly move his head back just in case Bliss sent a unwanted blast towards his head. He would instead began to climb on the ceiling, letting gunk drip from his mouth, though he was very very slow as he was getting closer to resisting the rage.

If he got close enough while trying to stealth towards her, he would then drop right on top of her, like a cat while saying in his new found whispy dark voice "I have you.". He would try to hide his eyes by looking up but if some one looked up then he would be found. If that happened, then a desperate leap towards her from there. Though he sadly couldn't hide his unnatural presense or his feelings of rage.

Ghost was almost out. Almost through the blasted cage. He needed just one more bar, just one more before he completely butchered her, dosn't help that her friend probably took his file and now putting it some where. Just one more bar and he can recover...just one more.
