Retrieval 

Quantum's doorstep

Werner returns to the cultist base holding Azalo-G, Azalo-K, and Castiel. Though only a single cult member remains amidst the rubble. “Use your words carefully. What happened…” Werner questions the cultist. “John Quantum came by; he had three AASS soldiers, and he took them. He said it was for the Azlan project.” The cultist answers through painful groans. Werner chugs an unmarked glass of Jack Daniels before venturing off to the mainline facility chain. He was over with this world's hierarchy.
Werner roams open fields, setting foot on the property line of a large facility. Though it wasn't John’s, it held information. Werner presses his hand against the heavily armored door, winding a punch and shattering the 6-inch reinforced steel. The guards quickly draw weapons, expecting some dumbass kids with C4 or a terrorist. They lay eyes upon Werner as he enters, cleaver slung on his back. Werner shifts the door aside, leaving the entrance wide open. “Where’s John?” Werner questions, his tone fierce and unwavering. “Y-you’d have to find… His facility. He d-doesn't come by others…” One of the soldiers answers hesitantly. “Give me the location of his main facility, and I might let you live.” Werner bargains coldly, leaving the guards with no further choice.
Werner leaves the facility, wiping the blood off his cleaver as he heads to John Quantum's main facility. Hours of roaming led him to Quantum Labs. Werner approaches the facility, and multiple guards open fire on him. Two heavily hazmatted guards atop a mountain fire the Quantum gun at Werner. Werner senses the round even before it fires, spinning around to haymaker the bullet. The bullet, along with Werner’s right arm, is shattered; the difference being that one can heal. Werner leaps at the guards with the Quantum rifle, grabbing both their heads and slamming them into each other. Werner walks up to the main door of the facility, tearing the 20-ton steel door from its reinforced hinges. The smell of filtered air hits him as he walks through the facility, tearing off every containment door he sees. Werner stops by a door, it's heavily reinforced with a 10-inch-thick sheet of pure bulletproof glass. “What the fuck is that thing capable of?” Werner questions under his breath, walking away from the chamber. Werner soon finds the facility manager, grabbing him by the throat. “Where. Is. John.” Werner questions. “At the Azlan project facility. Prepping…” The manager says, through groans. Werner’s grip tightens. “Where,” Werner says with little room for bullshit. “East from here, about 200 miles…” The manager spits out before his head is separated from his shoulders. Werner continues to roam, soon landing in front of the Azlan project's main facility. Werner takes out a black glass orb, shattering it with his grip. Azalo-E appears behind him. “Here for your sacrifice, what may it be?” Azalo-E questions. “Round them all up,” Werner says, tossing her his cleaver. “Hefty sacrifice for a demand you could so easily do yourself.” Azalo-E points out. “It's not anymore,” Werner replies. Soon, John Quantum, the lead contractor of the Azlan project, and 4 AASS appear across from Werner. “Give them back, now,” Werner speaks, his tone fierce but strangely different.
“And if I don't?” John replies. Werner stares at him, his expression truly showing how over he is.
Soon, another person walks out of the facility, dressed in sacred robes with a strange theme. “Meet the Mindflayer, your true counter,” John states before leaving with the Azlan project’s leader.

Unworthy massacre

Two Soldiers retreat, the other two staying to help the mindflayer. Werner shatters another black orb. Azalo-E returning. “Two in one day? Thats new.” Azalo-E states. “Give my cleaver back,” Werner demands. “Not how that works, big guy.” Azalo-E points out. Werner just stares at her. “Fine, just take it.” Azalo-E hesitantly says while tossing him the cleaver. Werner picks up his cleaver as Azalo-E leaves again. Werner directly rushes one of the two AASS, grabbing him by the collar and throwing him into a nearby hill. Werner sighs before turning to the Mindflayer. The Mindflayer fires a strange pink bolt at Werner, which he blocks with one hand. The Mindflayer activates his magic at Werner’s contact with the bolt, attempting to control his mind. “Y’know, I didn't know what your ability was till you decided to do that. Retard.” Werner says before rushing at the Mindflayer. One of the Super Soldiers blocks Werner’s strikes. Werner knees him in the crotch, backhanding him into the same hill as the first soldier. “Well, I can't control you. But I can control your friends.” The Mindflayer says as Castiel appears behind Werner, knife wound back for a quick stab. Werner lightly elbows Castiel, just enough to stun him before throwing him away. Werner turns to the Mindflayer again, seeing Azalo-G directly rushing him. Werner backhands Azalo-G away, “Do not.” Werner roars firmly. Werner charges directly at the Mindflayer, slicing downward with his cleaver. The Mindflayer sidesteps, kicking  Werner multiple times. The first Super Soldier body slams Werner, attempting to bring him down. Werner falls backward briefly, getting into a handstand and twirling himself on his hands, kicking both the Mindflayer and the AASS away from him. “See, I'm a ballerina,” Werner says jokingly, though no one laughs. The second Super Soldier rushes Werner again, stalling him out as everyone recovers. Castiel appears out of dustwalker behind Werner, taking a few stabs at him. Werner pushes the second Soldier off him, shoulderbashing Castiel away the next second. Azalo-G charges at Werner, great sword in hand. Werner grabs the greatsword, snapping it in half and continuing that with the next 4 weapon conjures. “If you're going to control them, at least get their fighting styles right,” Werner states as he shoves Azalo-G away. “Well, I can't read their shit, controling world renown martial artists is hard.” The Mindflayer says, kicking Werner in the head. Werner grabs his kick as he pulls away, slamming him into the floor. Both super Soldiers rush Werner, throwing two right hooks. Werner throws the Mindflayer away to block both sides, leaving himself open as the Mindflayer swiftly recovers to rush in and tap Werner’s shoulder. “Tell me your worst secret!” The Mindflayer calls. “I don't keep secrets; so nothing to give,” Werner says as the Mindflayer spits out some blood. “Right, you have no dignity.” The Mindflayer says through a light groan. Werner punches both the super Soldiers away, hitting Castiel with a palm strike to stun him.
“Just give them back. I’m growing annoyed with this.” Werner asks, oddly politely for someone like himself. “You think I'm dumb? No.” The Mindflayer answers firmly. Werner sighs, getting into a running stance. One of the Soldiers grabs Werner by the arm, attempting to leg lock him. Werner kicks the soldier off him, picking him up by the legs and whipping him into the other soldier to stall. Werner takes a tungsten ball from his Alice pack, throwing a piss missile directly at the Mindflayer. The Mindflayer quickly ducks for cover, the ball missing him by mere inches. The Mindflayer attempts a counterattack, the sound barrier breaking along the ball's path, forcing him to play defensively. Werner rushes, dropkicking the Mindflayers' mana shield and shattering it. Nearby, Azalo-G conjures a large javelin, throwing it directly at Werner. Werner stands up with his hands, perfectly catching the javelin with his legs before returning to his feet, flourishing with the javelin momentarily. Both of the Soldiers rush Werner, one quickly being pinned to the facility walls with the javelin as Werner starts hand-to-hand combat with the other. Werner ducks the left hook, following up with a liver shot into a knee to the face. The soldier attempts a swift retreat, Werner grabbing his collar for a shoulder throw. As the Soldier hits the ground, Werner throws a strong jab to his prone form, shattering the soldier's skull. Werner grabs the soldier by the feet, throwing them straight up, then jumps up to follow and grab the soldier out of the air. The soldier attempts to grab Werner back, using his own strategy against him. Werner meets the grab with a jab, breaking the soldier's arm, then grabs his legs and throws him straight to the ground. Werner lands above the soldier, watching his eyes lose life. Werner turns his vision to the other soldier pinned to the facility wall, walking towards them. The soldier tears the javelin out, freeing himself as Werner retrieves his cleaver. Werner throws his cleaver to the left, running in an arc to the right. The soldier chucks the javelin at Werner while sidestepping to dodge the cleaver. Azalo-G pulls his chaingun, firing 4 shots at Werner. The soldier rushes at Werner as Azalo-G fires, attempting to lessen his dodging routes. Werner grabs the soldier as he closes the distance, using him as a body shield. The soldier struggles out of Werner’s grip, Werner ripping his arm off and throwing it directly at Azalo-G. Castiel throws his serrated knife at Werner for a quick distraction, allowing Azalo-G to dodge and recover. Werner tears the knife from his shoulder, using it to decapitate the soldier swiftly and discarding the knife shortly afterward. “Give them back,” Werner commands. The Mindflayer stood there for a few seconds, processing how fast Werner dealt with two AASS, even with disruptions. “What are you?” The Mindflayer questions, true wonder behind his words. Werner seemingly teleports in front of The Mindflayer, “Wouldn’t you like to know.” Werner whispers as he crouches down to his level. As the Mindflayer tries to process what just happened, he feels Werner’s hands clasp around his head, crushing his skull in less than a second. Azalo-G and Castiel are freed from the Mindflayer’s control along with his death. “Where is Azalo-K?” Werner demands. “I overheard their conversations. Azalo-K is dealing with the QS-33 infection, since it's spread mainly through physical contact; sending the guy with foresight made the most sense.” Castiel answers through heavy breathing. Werner groans, slamming the ground with his fist. “WHERE!” Werner roars. “We can find the coordinates inside the facility. They have it stored somewhere.” Azalo-G specifies. “Fine, I'll do it myself,” Werner says through a long sigh, walking to the facility.
