Trigun Fan Fiction ❯ It's Passion That Keeps Gunsmoke Interesting ❯ Freedom ( Chapter 1 )

Alarms screamed through the building and red lights flashed continuously as men in lab coats and fighting gear charged down the hall in one direction. Above them speakers shouted, "Warning! Warning! Malfunction on floor three, Plant Five. Warning! Warning!"

"What's going on?!" a man shouted as he caught the arm of another man running in the other direction. He looked up and saw dozens more running toward them with terror on their faces.

"I-It's the Plant! The energy it's emitting is soaring! It won't stop! We gotta get out of here before this whole place blows up!"

"How'd this happen?! Tell me!" the man roared.

"I-I don't know, sir! C'mon! We're wasting time!" The man sneered and shoved the other back and watched him run with the crowd. He turned to the few men standing next to him, confusion and uncertainty written on their faces.

"C'mon!" he ordered and ran up the two flights of stairs. He kicked open the door to the empty control room and ran over to the control panel. He looked over his shoulder to issue a command only to find that he was alone. He let out a string of curses and started pounding on keys and pressing buttons all over the place.

"God! Why'd this have to happen now?! WHY?!"

Because I want you all to die.

The man jerked his head up and whipped it around, trying to find the source of the voice. Then he found it was from inside this head. Sweat broke loose on his brow as he watched the energy rating on the flashing computer screen continue to gradually escalate.

You humans deserve nothing. Not even the gift of death, but one must sacrifice a little.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" the man screamed. He shook his head and ran for the door. There was nothing he could do now but save himself. The door suddenly slid closed and he crashed into it. He started pressing the buttons on the keypad next to it. Nothing happened.

Hahaha! Foolish, so foolish you are you rotten bag of filth. You should have listened to that man and left with him. Now you will be destroyed along with everything else.

The man spun around and leaned heavily against the door. He glared evilly at the computer screen that was now flashing red with DANGER blinking in the middle.

"You'll die too! Along with the other plants!" he shouted, hoping the voice would respond.

On the contrary. I will live. As for my sisters, well yes, they will. They didn't want to partake in this glorious event. The event where I will finally be free and be able to search for the other two plants that walk this miserable planet. I will soon be able to walk with my own kind!

"You're mad!" he screamed, squeezing his eyes shut.

Maybe so, but you would be, too, if you were trapped inside such a small amount of space with your life force being sucked out of you for nearly a century and a half! Rot in Hell you sticking HUMAN!

"NO!!" The man's eyes widened as the floor shook violently and as the bulb on another computer screen glowed brightly soon followed by a shattering explosion.

Yay ^^ First chpt of the sequel. How'd ya like? I liked it. I didn't want any real outside conflict, jus the stuff between Kale and Knives, but I decided that it wouldn't so bad.

Since I love all you guys who loved Humanity: Torn Between Loving It and Hating It, I'll let you decide on what this female plant's description should be. I mean, Chu-Chu13 was the first one who gave me this idea, I think I should give everyone a chance. Oo

The first who sends me theirs will be placed in it. You can make up a name as well. But if I don't get one before I decided to write the next chpt, I'll have to make up something myself. Laterz! ^^
