Break Out (6)

Running through the hallways of the Arraign Asylum, Kaylan leads Trey towards his freedom. Kaylan had short circuit the main power grid and broke into the institution. To get into the building he simply smashed a window. To reach Trey’s room he destroyed every robot in his way until he knocked down Trey’s door. As they ran through to the exit they pass a junk yard of robots. Trey scans each one quickly remembering how one would tazer him when he screamed in his dreams, other robots that sedated him with drugs when he raised his voice. A sense of joy went through him as he saw the deactivated machines that kept him locked up for the past five months.
As they are about to reach the broken window Kaylan had entered from Trey gets knocked to the ground. Kaylan turns around to see Trey lying bruised behind him. Towering over Trey is the Tusk Alien. With the power grid down the Tusk was able to break down his sealed door as Kaylan had broken down Trey’s.
“You’re in my space human!” the Tusk mutters at Trey. It clasps its hands together and raises it above its head ready to strike. Kaylan charges towards the Tusk and in one quick move tackles the huge Alien to the floor. The ground quakes as the Tusk falls. The Tusk is triple Kaylan’s size yet it cannot push Kaylan off it. It throws some punches at Kaylan from the ground but Kaylan blocks the attacks. He grabs the Tusk by the head and in one quick move snaps its neck.
Trey is shocked at what he just witnessed. Kaylan gets up and walks over to Trey.
“Shall we go?” Kaylan asks as he takes his hand and leads him out of the Asylum.

Reiken waits for his brother outside the Arraign Asylum walls. He did not assist Kaylan in the break out as he knew his body’s limits. If he had gone into the asylum and was attacked by an android he was defenceless. He would have most likely been killed. So he waits, not knowing whether the stranger Kaylan was going to free his brother.
It had been twenty minutes since Kaylan had jumped the large wall that surrounded the Arraign Asylum. Reiken was starting to get worried. Reiken heard something coming from the other side of the wall: it was Kaylan.

Kaylan and Trey had reached the wall, the last obstacle in Trey’s escape. The wall was three metres high.
“What now? You don’t expect me to climb that do you?” Trey asks panting, he is out of breathe from all the running.
“Just trust me,” Kaylan replies. He picks up Trey in his arms as if a groom was carrying a bride over a threshold. He bends his knees and pounced. In one giant leap, Kaylan jumps over the wall holding Trey in his arms. Once Kaylan lands he looks at Trey as they exchange glances. Kaylan smiles and puts him down. Reiken approaches his brother.
“Are you all right Trey?” He asks concerned. Trey looks at Reiken and hugs him.
“Thank you,” he whispers. He lets go of his brother and turns to Kaylan. “And thank you.” “My pleasure,” Kaylan smirks. “It was fun… Now let’s get out of here.” The three jump into Reiken’s car as they head to safety.
