Shout Out!!

Chapter 14 - The betrayal
The gates blew open. The guards, rifles at hand, turned their attention to the fallen pile of rubble, but it was too late. A dark black shadow zoomed past them, slicing their weapons in two. Before they could put off more of a fight, a huge piece of wood appeared behind them, and knocked them both out cold.

Jing Kiat stooped low, and looked at the wielder of the weapon. Bee looked back and smiled.

'Ok... Lady armed with a huge wooden stick... Not what I thought of as an escape plan.'

'Haha... Very funny. Now c'mon.'

Jing Kiat took a last look at the fallen guards, and followed Bee out towards the night corridors.

*********************************************************************************
'Gahhh!' Bin Li was thrown aback from the force of the blow. A moment ago he was busy knocking Cheng's workers of the bridge. Then out of nowhere he was struck from the back, and it felt like he was hit by a truck. A couple more mortars hit the shoreline, sending more green-uniformed soldiers flying into the air. The seabed was now soaking in blood.

Bin Li got up. To his surprise, the bridge was empty. And silent. He looked around, but no one was to be seen, except on the both ends of the bridge, an army of red and green. Then, he heard a faint sound, and dodged, only barely, a viper like strike to the head. Before he could identify his assailant, he was missing again. Bin Li stood up, cautious.

Then, it came again. This time, Bin Li didn't dodge, but instead, just stood there, and closed his eyes. Before the attack hit home, Bin Li caught hold of his assailants hand, and deflected the dagger, off into the sea. Before him, Chee Heng looked at him, and smiled viciously, his arm tigtly gripped within Bin Li's grasps.

'I won't do that if I were you...'

Before Bin Li could react, he felt a suddn surge of pain. He immediately let go of Chee heng's hadn, only to find that he just grasped onto a purple liquid that burnt his hands. Acid.

CHee Heng laughed histerically. 'Heh heh heh!!! We meet again, old chap! Heh heh!! After all these years....'

Bin Li clutched his hand, and stared back at the crazy-looking figure.

'Then you must have a poor memory. I don't recall seeing your scum-like face anywhere.'

Chee Heng suddenly stooped low, and then, vanished. As if he was never there. Bin Li sudenly felt another attack, this time from above, turned and lifted both his hands, just in time to block another two daggers, inches from his face. 'What speed is this....'

Chee Heng laughed. 'Heh hehhh!!! You sure you don't remember?' Chee Heng suddenly jumped off Bin Li, crouched and charged at him. Before Bin Li even had time to react, he was hit square in the chest, and sent flying backwards, tumbling onto the bridge. A splatter of blood escaped his mouth.

'That move.... Cough... It cant be...' Bin Li tried to get up, but he knew it was too late. Above him, the shadowy figure was already charging downwards directly above him. Quickly, he turned to one side, drew his knife and managed to block the attack on his left side, but not his right, as the dagger pierced his shoulder.

'Garggghh!!!' he shouted in agony as Chee Heng leaped of him.

'You remember now don't you.... Captain?'

Bin Li clutched his wound. It can't be. 13 years... 13 years. He thought they were all dead.... His entire team of 6 people was supposed to be dead. He saw them all shot to death.... How did...

'It's over, captain....' as the shadowy figure had appeared behind him, dagger on Bin Li's throat.

'You... were dead....'

'I noe......' then, without remorse, he swiftly cut Bin Li on the neck. Then he stood up. 'The Black Ops was never supposed to live till now, anyway.'

*****************************************************************************
Jessica looked on from the other side of the ridge. Hot tears were streaming down her cheeks, and she was screaming. Screaming for him to come back. But he was gone. Lying on the ground. Motionless. The air became still and rigid. Bin Li was dead.

Chee Heng stood up, and laughed. 'Blehhhhehh!!!! Heh heh heh heh!!! The captain is dead!! Dead!!! My job is done!!!'

On the opposite side of the ridge, Siew Li clutched her katana tightly.....
**********************************************************************
Jing Kiat almost laughed his hearts out. The security guarding Block B was too light. Most of the troops must have been sent to the battlefield. That Siew Li was really the brain. Around him, Lightly armed guards were either knocked unconscious or basically helpless to do anything, as he and Bee headed for the main gates.

As they approached the end of the long corridor, a shadow of a man suddenly appeared before them. Jing Kiat drew his katana.

'Stand behind me.'

Bee oblidged.

'Move aside and let us pass. You cannot win.'

The shadow didn't move.

'I said, move aside.'

The shadow started to come closer.

'For goodness sake how many more guards do I need to...'

Bee suddenly held him tightly . 'Wait...'

Jing Kiat looked at her. 'What?'

'Oh my god...'

Jing Kiat took a closer look, and let Bee's hand go.

The shadow came closer into the spotlight, and Yee Hong stood there, one arm wrapped up.

'Siew Li told me you were here.'

Tears came down Bee's cheeks, as she raced towards him. Jing Kiat withdrew his katana, as he watched the two of them hold each other tightly. After all these times.

Jing Kiat came closer, and saluted. Yee Hong saluted back. 'How'd you know...'

'It was Siew Li. She planned all this right from the start.'

'What? What do you mean all this?'

'Bee's kidnapping. Your death. She's didn't sell us out to Cheng. She was trying to get to Cheng and open up a back door for us.'

Jing Kiat suddenly looked grim. 'That girl.....'

Yee Hong put a hand on his shoulder. I'll fill you in on the way. Right now, she's with Cheng. They already know the location of our base. We have to hurry.'

'What!?'

'Don't worry.' Yee Hong said as he helped Bee get up his motorcycle. 'We still have Bin Li.' Jing Kiat smiled, took the nearest bike, and together they raced out of Block B, and into the sunlight.

*****************************************************************************
Chee Heng was too busy laughing to notice what happened next. There was a swift move, and in an instant, he was knocked back. He turn to the ground, only to find Bin Li standing before him, his thorat bleeding. 'You... you can stand?!'

Chee Heng charged at Bin Li again, but this time, he noticed something different about him. His movements were faster, dodging his every move. This is insane! He slit his thorat, yet he was faster than before? Then, just as they were near the edge of the bridge, Bin Li deflected one more hit, and knocked a direct blow straight to Chee Heng's face.

CHee Heng fumbled to get up, but another blow to his chin made him soar into the air. He fell down and the impact made him feel pain he had never felt before. He looked up, and there was no mistake. Bin Li. Bleeding on the throat. Bin Li came forward, and with one hand, picked Chee Heng up.

Chee Heng tried to move, but his arms were broken. 'This... can't be... I killed you.... I killed you!!!'

Bin Li lifted his hand and curled it into a fist. 'You cant kill me.... Because I don't feel pain.' And with that, struck Chee Heng hard on the face, sending him flying backwards.

'I saw you dead, Chee Heng... How did you come back?!'

Chee Heng smiled again, and Bin Li struck him again.

'ANSWER ME!!'

Chee Heng let out such a loud and maniac-like laugh that it echoed around them.
********************************************************************************
Jing Kiat and Yee Hong together with Bee raced downwards from the mountains.

'We should be there anytime now. Keep a low profile. I don't want Cheng to know we're still alive.'

Jing Kiat suddenly stopped his bike. Yee Hong saw that, and braked as well.

'What's wrong.'

There was silence for a while, before Jing Kiat spoke. 'Listen... Y.Hong. There's something you need to know.... It's... It's about Block B...'

Yee Hong started at him.

'The secret about Block B.... we can't win this war.'

Yee Hong got off the bike and came closer.

'What do you mean?'

Jing Kiat looked at Yee Hong, and stared him in the eyes.

'They're cloning.'

************************************************************************8

Bin Li let the dead body go. He couldn't believe it. All these years. All those sacrifices. All the people they were fighting to protect.

He turned back towards Cheng You, and shouted over the ridge.

'What's wrong with you!! Why!! Why do you have to do this?!!!'

Cheng You looked back at Bin Li. Then, it was he who started to laugh. 'So what? So what if I made a few clones?! How'd you think I controlled this school? How'd you think I made everyone learn to obey the rules?'

Bin Li clenched his fists. 'You're insane!!'

Cheng You drew his blade, and pointed it at Bin Li. 'I know... You know too much. Now you just have to....'

He felt the cold tip of a blade at his throat. Around him, several Vanguards were already pointing thier rifles behind Cheng You.

Siew Li had a bloodthirsty look in her eyes, as he drew the tip of her katana closer to Chen You's neck. 'Nobody move. The war is over.'
