Skoliro shook his head and again tried to motion to the tape on his mouth. What was with this girl? Couldn't she see his mouth was covered in duck tape. Then an idea hit him, maybe the blood wouldn't help with his powers disabled like this. Maybe it had gone into his human stomach. Just then a sharp pain hit him in the stomach. Damn, the one time I drink and I can't use it. Looking out the glass he noticed the blood dribbling from the dead body. He had a sudden urge for blood, he wanted to jump trough the glass and drain the corpse, but he couldn't, not yet.

Kaine walked out of the cell taking a left and headed off alone the unusual fabric of the uniform irritated his skin as he jogged.

He took a quick right and encountered a group of about 10 soldiers 2 in Grey uniforms 1 in blue and the rest in pink.All of them carried M4 assault rifles they looked like they were heading to wards the surface. The officer in blue stopped as the rest kept running. Kaine thought back and remembered people in blue were high ranks Kaine quickly through his hand up into a salute "Sir, What are your orders my radio is defective"

The office looked at Kaine and said "Soldier this is no time for salutes the base is under attack by the scourge on humanity, the mutants Look take my key go to the armory grab a rifle and head for the surfaces"

Kaine caught the key the officer threw at him and said quickly "Wheres the nearest armory?"

"Damn it i don't have time for this 3rd door on the left down that corridor" The officer pointed down the corridor to the right and jogged off in the opposite direction

Kaine drew his tranquilizer gun aimed at the back of the officers neck and pulled the trigger the dart span through the air at great speed the gun made a quite noise of the CO2 discharging .

The officer turned slightly as he heard the noise as he did this the dart hit him in the throat just below the chin the dart made a blood droplet run down his neck as he fell to the ground rasping for air a trickle of blood run from the corner of his mouth onto the floor.

Kaine dashed to wards the armory running inside the key he had looked like some sort of a master key from its shape.

Kaine stood in the armory the walls were lined with assorted rifles and other weapons Kaine even saw a RPG but that wasn't what he was looking for. Walking forward slightly Kaine saw what he was looking for within a heavy locker Kaine grabbed a black bag and filled it. He had filled the bag with about 10 medium size blocks of C4 and the detonators he would need to prime it plus he took 5 smoke grenades 4 flash bang grenades 6 High explosive grenades and a coil of wire Placing the box of vials in the bag.

Kaine then put the bag on his back and sprinted off to wards the nearest cell.It took Kaine about five minutes to get to it and when he reached it the door it was protected by a fingerprint scanner so his key would not work .Kaine tried to go through the wall in his shadow form but his powers didn't seem to work when he got close to the door.

Kaine thought back to his time in the army and knew how he would do this taking a grenade and a coil of wire from his pack he run to the end of the corridor tying one end of the wire to a pipe and the other to the grenade to make a rudimentary mine doing the same to the other end of the corridor

Taking a block of C4 from his 'bag of tricks' he placed it on the door with a timed detonator which he set to 30 seconds he engaged the timer and ran round the corner he heard the bag and looked around the corner

It had worked the door lay in the corridor bent and distorted smoking in the corridor. Taking his gun out slowly he advanced around the corner stepping over the wire carefully.

Entering the room his gun was pointed out, he swept the room with his eyes quickly making sure it was clear it was difficult because the room was pitch black "hello any one in here?I'm here to help taking his zipo from his pocket he lit it and saw the one person he would never have expected to see here

"Sis" Kaine said gulping his voice had gone quite and shaky "Sis wake up "Kaine said grabbing at the leather manacles that chained her to the bed tugging at them they came undone picking her up Kaine threw her over his shoulder and ran to the armory as fast as he could. Kaine kicked the door shut and pushed one of the many gun cabinets over in front of it. brushing a table clear of ammo Kaine gently placed his sister down onto it.

Taking the automatic syringe from his bag he placed a vial into it and placed it against her arm and squeezed feeling the needle piss her skin and administer the antidote striate into the blood stream.

After about 15 minutes she began to stir on the table and begin to regain consciousness "Sis,sis are you all right, thank god, what are you doing here your not a mutant are you?"

She replied in a groggy voice "Kaine is that you is it really you, you saved me something you haven't done since you were a kid" Even through her groggy voice the resentment was still audible "And yes Ive got your curse just like you except i can manipulate light. Now what are we going to do how are we getting out of here"

"I don't know Ive got to help more of these mutants look stay here I will come back for you. Do you know how to use a gun?" Kaine said passing her a handgun from the floor and checking its clip to see its fully loaded

"Of course I do" she said taking the gun and loading it expertly "And I've heard that before and you better come back this time."

Kaine said "I will no lies this time" Kaine turned and prepared to run out into the corridor through the wall

"Good luck Kaine" His sisters quite voice said with a tear in her eye

"Good luck Sarah" Kaine said hugging his sister his eyes two began to swell with tears as he turned and ran through the wall into the corridor and back into the war zone quietly saying to himself "I Love you Sarah and i wont leave you again."

Kaine ran back past his sister old cell over the improvised mines and turned left and entered an elevator.

(the serum is supposed to counter the tranqs and poisons.)

"You did fine." Daria whispered to Emmy as Fusionist lowered himself to the ground. Daria's arm still hurt but she wasn't giving up that fast.

She stood. "I should kill you right now." she said through gritted teeth.

"No." Linda said. "Leave it to me. He's my brother." the words were bittersweet coming from her pretty lips but with one swoop she hit Fusionist in the head with the butt of the gun she'd taken from him before. He fell to the floor.

((With Desiree unchaining him I'd assume he could remove the tape himself.sorry.))
Riruki kindly removed the tape for him although Desiree had removed his chains.

"Drink? Or inject?" she asked with her japanese accent.

"Cool....can I go to bed now?" Emerald said in a groggy tone, eyes opening and closing. The syirm was starting to kick in. 'Because....night....song.....mama...sings....playing..." Emmy had a galzed off look in her eyes as she began to hum a tune that was mixed with rock a bye baby and twinkle twinkle little star.

((Fusionist is not dead for everyone who is wondering))

Voyant glanced up at the observation window as Kilala banged on the shatterproof glass. She grinned to herself. Locking the door was going to give her the time to finish her modifications. She turned back to the monitor and punched a few more keys on the keyboard, and watched as Raphael’s eyes shuttered underneath his eyelids.

“Son of a bitch!” She uttered, head snapping around as the door cracked open. She cursed Fusionist’s security again. “Close the door! Lock it again!”

The aid she shouted out jumped from his chair and ran up to the door and tried to slam it closed, and shrieked as his hand caught in the field that Kilala had put up. Voyant cursed again and quickly pounded at the keyboard.

Voyant heard the man fall to the ground, then looked up at Kilala as she spoke to Raphael, then fixed her gaze on Voyant. “Right. All your’s. I’m done with him anyways…” She punched a button and the monitor went blank, then raised her hands and merely scooted away from the table where Raphael was strapped down and the equipment she had been using right up until Kilala had arrived.

Raphael’s mind began to clear as soon as Kilala spoke. As the machinery working on his mind shut down he came to. Groggily at first, then slowly things came to focus. He let out a soft groan, looked around the room, watching Voyant roll away from him, then settled his gaze on Kilala.

“’Ey…. Finally, a friendly face…” He muttered, and let his head fall back onto the metal table with a metallic clang. “Be… glad to join you…. If you’d cut me loose… Might… Might be a bit slow though… I feel different… heavy…”

He lifted an arm half an inch before it was stopped by a restraint. He let his limb fall heavily back to the table with the same metallic clang that his head had made as his knuckles wrapped across the metal table. “Thanks…”

Kilala put a hand on Raphael's head in comfort and nodded over to Tristan as she cut his restraints. "This is T.K. He's part of the rescue team."

"Hey, man. We'll get you out of here, don't worry," Tristan said to Raphael as he helped the mutant off the table. Kilala shot the scientist an evil look as she put one of Raphael's arms over her shoulders and told Tristan to do the same. They lifted Raphael up to his feet and felt the heaviness of his body.

Kilala looked back over to the female scientist. "If you move, I promise it will be the last time you do," she said and grabbed the vile from her pocket, putting the glass to Raphael's lips. "Drink this. It may help."

Tristan noticed the male scientist was coming around and gave him a swift kick to the stomach. "Get over there, now!" The man did so, crawling to the female scientist. "How many more mutants are there?"

"I honestly don't know. None of us know...We work on specific mutants only. We don't just circle through the test subjects," she replied in a cocky tone.

"TEST SUBJECTS?!" Kilala screamed, but Tristan shook his head to her and they helped move Raphael through the door. As they stepped out into the hallway carrying the injured mutant, Kilala closed the door and saw there wasn't anyone around. "Let's get moving."

Daria sighed, wondering why the anitidote hadn't affected Emerald.

With Fusionist knocked out Linda walked over to the two girls.

"Your Brother?" Daria repeated.

"Gee, you only sing a one note tune, huh?" Linda mused.

"I just don't see how that's possible."

"It's a long story, and it isn't one that I have time to tell right now. Why don't you get Emerald to the emergency Vehicle so she can get treated."

Daria rolled her eyes.

"And you know, when you have the chance, you're arm is bleeding since you got shot and all..." Linda said sarcastically.

Daria groaned and disappeared. Linda smirked and ran back to find other mutants.
*********************************

"How's Mike?" Daria asked as the doc looked over Emerald.

"No where near awake." The doc answered sadly.

Daria's face twisted into an unhappy expression.

"But no where near dead either, Daria. Let me look at your arm."

"It's fine." Daria said teleporting the bullet from her wound and putting in the metal tray by the doctor. She grabbed a bandage and wrapped it around her arm.

"Daria..."

"Just look after the others." Daria said teleporting back to the facility.

Emerald groaned as she woke up 29 minutes later in the van, "Rahhhh. What happened." The wolf girl questioned, looking around the van. She saw Mike looking rather Immobile and she also saw Jamal and Ruby in separate hospital beds, lying side by side.

Docproff looked down at Emerald with a surprised look on his face. "Fusioist injected you with a mixture of Ketamine and other animal tranquilizers. Thats why the antidote didn't work because that he used a different chemical compound...but how did you awaken so fast?"

Emerald clutched her head siting up, despite the Doc's protests. She looked at her hands and realized they where drenched in some kind of blue liquid. "Doc what is this?" Emerald asked, showing the substance to the Docproff.

Docprof swabbed a bit of it off Emerald's hand and put it in a scanning machine the results were printed and he looked at them with wide eyes. "Its the same chemical compound that was injected into you body. How could it make its way through you bloodstream and then secrete out of you hands so quickly?" He asked

Emerald smiled softly, "My mothers body did the same thing, I guess thats another quirky trait I inherited from her. So Can I go now?" Emerald asked suddenly feeling the pain of her broken ribs.

"No you left rib cage is almost all the way broken. I will not allow a patient to leave until they feel fully better."

"You let Daria go!"

"She is older than you!"

Emerald shifted her body back to a laying down position. "Its not fair." She pouted

((Fyi Sapphire is not an NPC))

"I'm afraid I cant let you do that," A voice said from the shadows, a small dark hole appeared in the floor before sapphire materialized in front of Skoliroo's cell.. Her black hair flowed behind her as she looked at the two people in the cell along with the prisoner.

"You where in a cell before weren't you? Wow, the security around here stinks." Sapphire rolled her eyes. "Well I could just use my powers to kill the other wolf girl over there, knock you both out and put you in separate cells. Or since the boss is out cold I could accidentally let you go free so I can go and get on with my life. Decisions decisions."

Sapphire stood in front of the door so there was no escape unless one went around her or through her.

(( I love evil sapphire))

Desiree growled, turning into full were wolf form.

"Watch it girly, we ain't gottime for games."

Riruki stood by, ready to fight. She concentrated in case she would need to attack.


Daria was just out of the way, she hadn't stumbled upon the scene nor was she capable of being smelled at the moment.

((OOC-OH CRUD! I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT POST! I'M SO SORRY!))

Skoliro held up the vile, nodding to the girl.

Bottoms-up.

He drank it quickly, hoping it would work faster. A calming rush ran through him, and he flapped his wings.Reaching around with his mind he felt smaller ones, all rats, and a few bats too.He glanced at the corpse. Reaching up he scratched the back of his head. Motioning to the body he shrugged and spoke, his British accent quite obvious.

Do you mind, m'lady?

[/color]

Riruki was too busy concentrating but Desiree answered for him.

"No, whatever it takes for you to get geared up, kid, get to it." she grinned and growled at Sapphire.

"And are you gonna let us go or do we have to fight our way out?" Desiree asked.

"Girly? Oh come on now Dessire you have to be able to think of a more educated insult that that." Sapphire chuckled lightly, enjoying the look on Dessire's face.

"How do you know my name?" The wolf woman asked with a snarl.

"Well you see my dear woman while Fusionist was off doing who knows what at the other side of the laboratory, I was in charge of everyones experiments while he was away. So I preceded to extract some memories from your little friend over there, duplicate them for my own uses and put them back into her mind with the machine. All while she was dead unconscious, Sapphire replied smugly.

She looked down the hallway for a moment before stepping aside. "I grow bored with you, go on and get out of here. I just go a transmission saying I need to pick up the master." Sapphire rolled her eyes before disappearing again.,

Kilala and Tristan continued carrying Raphael along the hallways. Somehow the electricity was now on the fritz, making the lights dim on and off every few seconds. Raphael was falling in and out of consciousness as the others tried to keep moving in an effort to bring him to the mutants who were healing the wounded outside.

"We could sure use the teleporting X-man," Tristan commented softly as they continued down a hallway. "Where do you think she is?"

"I have no idea. Come on let's keep going," replied Kilala, as they placed Raphael against a wall to take a momentary break from running. "Alright, let's go." They put their arms around his waist and his own over their shoulders, turning a corner.

A sudden sharp pain in her right shoulder and thigh made her suddenly weak. She cried out softly and then heard Tristan do the same. Kilala looked down the hallway and through the blinking of the lights, made out a few soldiers at the end with their guns pointed at them. The pain caused Kilala to fall to her knee, as Tristan hit the wall and slid down. Raphael slumped to the floor as they lost grip, but Kilala quickly caught his falling body and collapsed with the weight. "Tristan!" 'We've been shot...' she thought and ducked behind one corner, dragging Raphael with her, as Tristan did the same. "T.K. are you alright?"

"Yea...you?" He replied. Kilala looked over and saw he was pulling out darts in his stomach and chest. She watched him close his eyes and concentrate, no doubt using his healing mutation. Kilala pulled the darts from her leg and shoulder, shaking her head of the blurriness the contents were giving her. 'I'll have to thank Daria again,'. Kilala noticed one dart hit Raphael in his side and she yanked it out quickly.

"I'm fine, but Raphael is still out cold. Looks like we'll have to find another way..." Kilala turned Raphael over onto his back and checked his pulse. It was slow, but it was beating.

A sudden heavy and direct voice echoed the hallway adjacent to them where they were just attacked. "I TOLD YOU IDIOTS, the darts DON'T WORK! USE FULL FORCE!" Kilala heard the sounds of guns loading.

'Dammit...we're sitting ducks,' she thought, knowing they were at a stand off for now. The soldiers could come running down the hallway and turn the corners, killing all three of them easily. Her forcefield wouldn't be able to stop the bullets very long and even if they got around them, she and Tristan wouldn't be able to take the soldiers and look after Raphael at the same time.
