NTR Rogue in the Apocalypse-Chapter 190: Subject B-24 Part 3

John stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Julia’s face.

"It’s me. I’m here," he said softly.

Her pink eyes narrowed slightly, and she opened her mouth, her lips twisting.

"Don’t bother," one of the scientists said, "she won’t even recognise you."

Julia’s eyes were beaming with life, but at the same time, her gaze was hollow, empty and almost cold.

John was about to leap towards her and stop her from hurting anyone when she disappeared from sight in a flash.

The group blinked and she was standing a few metres away, a thin blade materialised in her hand. She lunged forward, slashing at John.

John’s eyes grew wide but his instinct reacted fast and he ducked, narrowly avoiding her glowing blade.

As John fought Julia, he tried to remain calm and collected, but a part of him knew that he needed to take control of the situation.

She jumped back, dodging his attacks and slashing at him relentlessly, her eyes glowing with a deep fire.

Once more, Julia lunged at John, her blade glowing crimson under the flickering lights.

John clicked his tongue and the clang of his Venomlash blocking Julia’s blade resounded throughout the room.

He was sweating, his hair stuck to his face, and his muscles aching from the constant battle. John tried to think, but he could only fight defensively, struggling to find an opening.

The scientists simply observed and ordered the soldiers to stand by. This was a prime opportunity to observe their subject’s powers.

Outnumbered and cornered, John gritted his teeth and his Dagger Aura rippled and expanded, covering his entire body.

Zara saw the opportunity and lunged forward, her swords flashing in the light as they flew towards Julia. However, Julia was faster, and she dodged them with ease, flipping and somersaulting around Zara’s strikes.

With the mutagen still fresh in her system, her strength was incredible and her agility was beyond belief.

John’s figure blurred and streaked through the room, appearing next to Julia as he thought, ’Shockwave!’

The blast sent Julia and everyone who was standing behind her flying. The wall cracked and the glass shattered, sending shards flying everywhere.

"Everyone! Keep fighting!" John shouted as he stared down at Julia.

"Get up!" The scientist cried out.

Julia rose to her feet, her skin pulsing and her hair glowing a deep shade of green. She was still struggling to adjust to her new form, but her speed and strength had increased exponentially.

She disappeared in a blur, and John barely had time to react.

"Shockwave!" He shouted and Julia was sent flying once more, but he was quick to react this time and lunged while Julia was still disoriented.

Their blades clashed in a flurry of strikes and counters, and John was forced to use every ounce of his skill to keep up.

Behind them, Dalia and Mikal were fighting the Luminar soldiers, their bodies moving in perfect unison, as if they had fought together their whole lives.

John was growing tired, but he noticed Julia’s eyes which were glowing pink were starting to lose their shine.

’Just a little more,’ he thought.

John’s daggers glowed crimson and his body crackled with energy. He lunged at her, his hands a blur as he attacked relentlessly, his strikes quick and efficient.

Julia staggered back, her movements growing sluggish, and she stumbled, falling to her knees.

John stood over her, his blade raised high above his head.

Julia struggled to raise her hand to block the incoming attack, but the handle of the Venomlash hit the back of her head and she dropped to the ground with a thud.

John had hit her hard, but not hard enough to kill her.

The scientist and the Luminar soldiers charged forward, but they were no match for John’s team.

Dalia had made quick work of the guards and Zara had cut down the scientists, but John’s team was exhausted and beaten.

They were bleeding and bruised, their clothes torn and dirty.

"Let’s go back to the ship, quickly," John said as he picked up Julia in his arms.

"Come on, let’s go."

"Alright," everyone murmured and they hurried down the hall.

The corridors were empty, and they could hear the sounds of machinery echoing off the walls.

Dalia and Zara led the way, and they emerged from the building and made their way towards the ship.

Julia’s body was limp and heavy in John’s arms. She was breathing, but she was unconscious, and John couldn’t stop a shiver running down his spine.

She looked beautiful, but she was not the same Julia he had known. She was mutated, and her eyes were glowing with a deep pink light, and she had transformed into something else.

Dalia approached him, noticing the melancholy in his eyes.

"You alright?"

"Yes, I am."

"What are we going to do now?"

"We are going back to the base. We need to find out more about Julia’s condition."

Dalia nodded and turned away.

John carefully carried her inside the ship and they climbed in.

The team was silent and tense, their thoughts running wild, but nobody spoke.

They arrived back at camp and John left Julia for Myers and Edwards to examine.

John sat down next to the fire, his eyes fixed on the flames.

Dalia approached him, a glass of whiskey in her hand.

She put it down next to him and leaned against a tree, her gaze fixed on the flames.

"What happened back there, John?"

"Who knows? They were using her as a test subject for something, but for what purpose? I don’t know."

"Well, at least we saved her. That’s something, isn’t it?"

"It is. I’m glad we got to her in time."

John sipped the whiskey, feeling the familiar burn on his tongue and in his throat. He didn’t say anything, his mind wandering off.

The sound of footsteps drew their attention and Mikal approached.

"John, can we talk now?"

John looked up towards Mikal, "I’m taking you and your people to Earth as I promised, you don’t have to worry."

"I know that. I want to talk about the Luminars, John. I have information that might interest you."

John straightened up, his interest piqued.

"What do you have for me, Mikal?"

"There is a rebellion forming, John. A group of Luminars is planning a coup to overthrow the current administration."

John quirked an eyebrow and couldn’t help but wonder if this had something to do with Nova.
