Escape
The two of you went over the plan over and over and over until it was all you thought about.
Freedom.
Freedom was coming, and it couldn't come soon enough.
At long last, it was time to put the plan into motion.
Percy was smart--a genius, one could easily say--and you were confident that the two of you could escape this hell together. She had crafted two suits of metal armor that would protect you against the tranq shots and gave you the ray gun. It was your job to clear the way while she hacked into the systems to open the path to the outside world.
The forest you had been staying in for the last several days was nothing more than a fancy terrarium, and that became even clearer to you when you saw the door to the facility open. As soon as two anthropomorphic dog-men came through the room, you lunged at them with a growl. You knocked one unconscious with a metal-armored fist and zapped the other with a ray gun.
You didn't want to kill anyone, but you would if it meant securing freedom for yourself and for Percy.
You ran through the door and attacked anyone who happened to be in your path, sometimes waiting up for Percy, who hobbled behind. Most of the people in the facility were unarmed scientists, so they were easy enough to knock out and move forward. You often stayed behind to guard Percy as she hacked door after door, wondering how she knew the facility so well.
But that didn't matter right now.
The fighting continued for a long time, and once you reached the last gate, alarms were blaring everywhere. You heard an announcement that the two of you were to be captured or killed, and armed guards began to flood the halls.
Percy, though, had a trick up her sleeve. She tossed a smoke bomb and blinded everyone--including you--as she opened the final gate. "Come on! We only have a few seconds! If we can get out of here now, we'll be scot-free!" She pulled you along and you picked her up, tossing her on your back before you dashed out of the facility.
You ran and ran and ran and ran, feeling as though you could run forever if it meant never having to see Arcadia Facility again.
Finally.
You were free.
