Chapter 26 - chapter:26 The Gilded Cage!!

He began to run through the halls, heat signatures, he could easily pass them, but who knows what would happen. He fired off his Aegis Shots, all of the shots perfectly lined up against the people, each shot caused one person to die, he wasn't fighting for his ideals now...he was fighting against them…

But…

His ideals...fall short of his priorities, his sister...was far more important than it. He needed to set her free, they were too long hidden from the real world. The male then found his sister's heat signature, she was being escorted by...that's a lot of guards...he needed to find his weaponry. Luckily, he knew exactly where they were stored from his blueprints. He did place some mystic codes to find them if he ever broke out, was he that stupid to not make them his mystic codes?

He broke into the room by the hall of metal walls, the equipment he needed…

Heh, it has been a while, since he was sent on duty. He picked up every single weapon he needed and he could, he can't carry all of them, even if he is superhuman, he has his own limits. Things he took. His hidden blades. His dagger. His bandoleer of kunais. His crossbow and his italian long sword.

Old-school weapons have their uses afterall.

He came out of the room and dashed to find his beloved sister, who was getting farther and farther away from him every moment. He was several levels beneath her, having to go through stairs.

No matter, he had to do something about his sister. He began to go through the stairs, unsurprisingly, guards began to come down, he had his own uses, he began to go down as he went slightly lower and got both his Hidden Blades unsheathed. He was one floor from where he should be, apparently somethings are more important than him, probably the testing rooms to actually create more monsters like him...

He stood silent before a guard tried to go downstairs and received a neck blow from doing so, a mistake must be pointed out by death. He began to get up the stairs, his infrared eyes finally pinpointed his sister's signature by her heat signature, a lot of guards were by his cell's floor level. Sad he wasn't there...he began to go up the stairs a few levels up, a few guards in the way, nothing a good Italian long sword couldn't cut through. A Mystic Coded one as well. He finally reached the level where a lot of the guards were escorting his sister.

He reached the floor before he grinned at making his entrance, he got his guard's hat to actually cover his identity before he got in front of the guards.

"What is it, do you want, lad? We are escorting this specimen for safe-keeping." Liam smirked.

"Oh nothing, I just want my sister back." The guards quickly notice of my appearance as they took out their weapons, the escort looked frightened as the Weapon smirked at the guards.

How petty.

Liam brandished his sword before he took them on. He ducked under a guard's attempt to deliver a devastating blow to his head, but failed as his side was cut by the italian long sword. The second tried to hit him horizontally by the stomach area, which Liam dodged by twirling before he took out his dagger and stabbed him by the spinal cord's fatal spot. The third was no more of a challenge, he had tried to deliver a blow vertically going down towards Liam's head, Liam responded with an italian sword blocking it before he swung the sword in the same direction, causing the guard to take on the momentum of his actions, Liam delivered the final blow with the help of the momentum and sliced him in half.

All done in under twenty seconds.

"Nii-chan!" A young girl with rich brown hair, similar to his with blue glowing eyes and fair skin exclaimed with relief and joy. She wore nothing, but a ragged top, a piece of cloth to keep out the cold breeze and a ragged skirt. Her hands and feet were cuffed with her neck given a collar to keep her in line.

"Hold on, Leah." Liam took out his kunai and broke off the cuffs and cut of the collar. The girl hugged her pseudo brother out of joy.

"Thank you, thank you, nii-chan!" She gleefully yelled before her gleeful voice turned into a sad and grim voice. "I...I thought you were never going to come…"

"That's going to happen when I die. Understand me, lil sis?" Leah nodded.

"Good, now let's get out of here." Leah nodded at her brother.

"Sounds like a plan." The voice tone still sounded sad, but it lessened, compared to the previous, she was recovering from the tears.

"Good, halt." Liam used his infrared vision to find multiple guards about to go through the door. Liam took out three smoke grenades and threw them on the ground, making immense amount of smoke. "Follow me, alright?" Leah nodded before Liam got a few some canisters that held some toxic smoke, pulled the pin and tossed it by the hall, making a smokescreen, which also intoxicates the guards slowly, but mostly to just distract them and confuse them, he was never fond of using 'just smoke'. There were a few minutes they could use to utilize the smoke.

But considering the amount of soldiers and his space, he wasn't going to get out of here alive if they were all trained and hardened veteran magi, even if he was a Perfect Weapon, he would be outnumbered, Leah has never gone through actual combat. He had to retreat the fast way...this was just a memory, but it felt more of a memory simulation of what happened in the past.

He was not going to be a hero, because of this...

He began to run to the other staircase that was placed in the whole facility or fortress. He took a guard uniform of a woman, nearly fitting the young demi-human, but it was enough for the girl to wear. "Follow my lead." The girl put on her new outfit before she began to follow her bigger brother. The two went up the stairs, the older Designer Baby got a hold of his dagger and offered it to his sister. "Use this."

"F-For what?"

"Self-Defense, you thinking of something else?" Liam mused as his sister shook her head before taking the dagger and the sheathe. The two began to walk up the stairs to the upper stairs.

"...How long?" The sister asked as they went up the stairs, the brother didn't respond. "Brother..."
