The Vordox

Chapter 21

Everyone was with me on this. They came up closer to the rocket one after the other. The rocket had almost cooled down I said, "now for the plan...... we are billions and they are just a few hundreds. We can do this; we have our weapons and we will succeed this time" everyone cheered "we are going to divide ourselves into 3 categories.

The first one is the alpha team everyone who is 20 years or older, fit and can take on other people. You guys stand to my right with weapons and if you don't have a weapon you can take weapons from other people too"

as soon as I said this the whole crowd started parting and there were more people than expected "if you have anything like a cloth with you which is red in color or with any other person or either get it from your homes. Take a strip of it and wrap it around your head or your wrist so that you could be identified as the alpha team.

Now in the middle people who are highly energetic and can run a few laps in your hover boots or the hover boots borrowed from some other person mostly teens stand to the middle. You guys will be the beta team and I want a few engineers and doctors in this group even if you are a part of the alpha team and you are a doctor or an engineer stand with the beta team and don't take off the red band you will follow the alpha team and try to barge in the headquarters and get all the basic resources like the engineers will be doing the atmosphere fixing and disabling the lazar weapons, cutting the power supplies and a lot more on the other hand the doctors will play the role of medics and help anyone who is hurt.

The last sub division will be the gamma team. Where old people, children and pregnant woman stand. They will stay in the cities and give supplies to the beta teams like masks, guns, bullets bandages, medicines shots or anything that the beta team asks for. They will stay in cover and as soon as you find the thing beta team had asked for bring it back to them. Who will give the stuff to the alpha if they need it or keep it for themselves.

The beta and alpha team will be in communication all the time as well as the gamma and beta and yes don't be afraid to break into every shop and find the resources to give. When I come back, I don't want any shops door or glass not broken." I smiled and some laughed. They had parted themselves perfectly. I got off of the rocket and we all geared up and were ready to attack but we needed a plan. We went in the open, to the big square where everyone could hear us and convey messages to others who won't be able to hear me. A kid laid a map on the table. They told me form where they had done their previous break in's and from where the walls were broken. We made a plan of going in from the same position they tried last time, because there was already a broken wall there and not much to expect from the WWO's. We gathered ourselves, ready to leave. Everyone was carrying their own weapon and a load of bullets with every second or third person ready to jump in.

We were standing right outside of the headquarters on top of the shattered pieces of the wall of injustice. I gave them a signal to which the beta team reacted. Some of them were on the other side of the headquarters creating distraction by throwing stones and light firing and from this side people charged in. The air was loaded with bullets flying in all direction aiming at the headquarter which was everywhere. We had a few bullets coming our way but we had perfectly dodged them. I with other 2 men from the alpha team rushed in the base without being noticed. We took down the people who were guarding the entrance and rushed in. We saw a big hall which was like a control room. It had glass walls and we could see a man standing in it. We slowly sneaked up to the glass door making sure no one was in the building checking the upper floor balconies. We were right outside of the glass door. I made them stay I told them, "you guys be here, guard the door and I'll go talk to him" the alpha team members were standing right outside of the door and I walked inside it was chilly inside the conditioning was turned on. I was pointing a gun on him, the man looked familiar he was tall not like the people on mars but average he had a good body structure and he was relatively fit he was standing there with his back turned to me. I had no clue who he was. I noticed something odd I saw him once again and looking at his head. I saw he was wearing a weird metallic helmet like the ones used to measure brain waves but this seemed odd. It seemed that it had a receiver but no transmitter.

He said with his robotic voice, "ahh I see you finally made it here Harison" I was shocked. I almost dropped my gun to the floor where I had dropped my jaw but I kept the gun pointed at him steadily. My hand was shaking a little, maybe it was the adrenaline or the conditioning, "who are you. And how do you know my name?" "I'm glad you asked.... I" He was about to continue when suddenly I heard a loud glass shatter followed with an aware voice. It said, "get away from him Harison" a thought ran in my mind am I famous? Or does everyone just happen to know my name? I didn't lose aim from the old man but I saw someone's hands rising up from climbing the stairs. Surrendering with her hands in the air I saw Isabel. She was alive? I was shocked it made sense that she was involved with them. I knew it she couldn't be trusted. Isabel had her hands raised she said, "don't shoot anyone Harison. I'm here to help trust me" "how can I? you were down on earth with the 67 infected people to fight off how did you fight them off alone and happen get a rocket to come here on mars? And where did you get a rocket. You are involved with them. I should've know. When I left the Italian base and reached to your base till then, I had encountered none of the infected. But from when you had showed up, they weren't backing off. Without you I had encountered none infected, but as soon as I was with you there were so many happenings because I knew you were giving some kind of signal away" she looked at me and said, "I am not involved in the WWO's plan trust me" she took a step closer to me I suddenly aimed at her and said, "don't take another step just stay where you are" "there were no 67 infected people I had to fight there were only the three" "what do you mean?" "do you remember when we left my base to go to the Chinese base. I had shot 3 people stepping out" I said, "yes I do remember you shot them with the tranquilizer and sent them to the zoo" "yes that... well no, when we slid them in the suction pipes, they got jammed in the middle and in few hours the effect of the tranquilizer was over. They somehow managed to break the pipe and jump inside of the zoo. They were the ones making the big loud noises and banging" I was a little bit convinced but then I asked again, "okay there were 3 infected people but not 67 that doesn't explain how you got here" I walked a step toward her aiming it on her head. I didn't notice where the man went but he suddenly pulled out 2 guns from under the desk and pointed it on us. I turned and suddenly pointed my gun on him "I got here on the rocket with you. You didn't notice but do you remember the big screen showing that panel a was open? And just before it showed the "panel open" there you heard a loud band" "yeah..." "that was me. I swung on with the pully gun and managed to open the panel right before launch and when I was crawling in you had force closed it if you had force closed it a few seconds earlier. I would've been cut in half by the panel door." It was clear I guess Isabel was not a part of them there was silence for about 2 minutes and then Isabel spoke again, "I was in the panel trying to get to you, to break it to you that I was alive and I'm coming with you but it was locked. The panel door was locked and I didn't know the password, it was with my sister. She was working on the rocket and she was only missing one piece, which you had brought from the Niger base. That only chip which she had gone looking for the day she was infected and I lost her" I asked her, "how did you get in here?" she said, "when you were busy giving that speech of yours, I sneaked in. The WWO's were trying to get a source from where your speech and plans could be heard. They were trying all the cameras and didn't pay attention to the other cameras so I sneaked inside through the underground sewage. It was a long way here" what all she said did make sense to me and also I trusted Isabel with my life but when she said "the man standing in the metallic device.... he's my dad" had me all confused.
