Experimentals

Zed looked at the peyhone, he glances at glances at Half, Half smiles at him and does a quick little nod. He hesitates to take the phone at first, 'Leah, my sister is on the other end. I wonder if she still sounds the same. How about if she denies me, hell I don't even know my own name. What if I have forgotten something important. Something she keeps cherish. God damn it, stop thinking. Focus, its just a phone, your just going to talk to your sister, and catch up what she has been doing. Well, you already know that, just take the phone.' Zed reaches out and takes the phone out of Half's hand carefully. He places it against his ear and hears a faint voice calling out.
"B-brother?"
He starts to speak, but pauses. 'Shit, what am I suppose to say?'
*Gulp* "Hey, sis."

 

"Then by all means lead the way. But do keep in mind we are suppose to be the ones asking questions. But seeing as you are actually answering we can fill you in, but we will keep it short and vague until we arrive at your place. Now let go"
The man starts leading us to his home as we talk about the current situation
"Let's start with how we are 'free-living' as you put it, Blaze care to join the talk any time now?"
"Don't really see why, you are the one wanting answers for what ever reason but if I must.."
Frost only stared at me with a glare while walking
"You were right on one thing when you said that they are forced to stay at the labs, but not everyone one is too happy about being a 'guest' there. Myself included in that"
"So, we escape. Run, hide, force our way out, anyone who wants out tries something. Then we play a game you are used to Hide and Seek. We hide, they Seek. Sometimes it's Kras police, others it's one of our type. Working for the labs as hunters, but you know this stuff first hand hiding her."
Frost paused for a moment, seems she was done answering for now and was going to ask questions her self
"What is crystal's story? Picked up from the labs, raised in the city, or..... was she born in the labs"
Born in the labs? Where did that come from, as i ask my self these questions i see Frost taking a close look at the girl name Crystal. She is examine her face very closely....

Hmmmm no, no she doesn't have the same face... not big enough cheeks. They could have made alterations to hide her or even the chemcials the labs use to make the clone could have changed looks during the production. I'll wait to hear the story before I get to far ahead f my self...

 

Frost was silent for a bit, staring at Crystal.

So....... she isn't a clone, just seems the silver is a coincidence then. That's a weight off, but..... it means they are testing no, have been testing on children as well. What are they doing, do they even know any more..... I guess i shouldn't be surprised. 'Anything for science sake' right father... Well might as well answer them.
"No, the story you told us had the answer i wanted. As far as her power..." I make a pair of ice claws form to show the family
"If it is any variation of Cyro-kinesis, she could freely make ice and much more. With a little practice I'm sure she could have her own set of claws. Blaze show them what you can do"
"Okay i don't see the point since her power is more like yours than mine"
"You never had a problem showing it off for a fight"
"Fine" Blaze the makes a flame appear in the palm of his hand
"Unlike Frost mine is Pyro-kinesis, a completely different beast. But i guess... you could look at it as being the other side of the same coin. Fire and Ice, both have their own unique properties but share some as well. Heck i picked up a trick by watching Frost"
"Which is why I think Crystal should be allowed try her abilities. If not should there come a time when she needs them, they may not be within her control" I ended of my speech on that note but Blaze adds one more thing
"As for if it was a good idea to have her go out and play, which do you prefer: The Bird or The Cage?"
Huh? Bird, Cage what the hell is he talking about.......
"Would you rather her be free to wonder with a the chance of her being in danger or rather her stay locked away in solitude way from the world but safe? If you stop and look you end up becoming the very thing you try to keep her from"
That idiot, don't insult how they are keeping this girl safe, It's work up till this point......Bird or Cage which one is right, if either....
"But don't get me wrong you made it this long without running into trouble. If it wasn't for Frost I'm sure I would have been found out or caught with all that's been going out around us haha-ah~"
Idiot.....

 

OOT- So much development, I must play catch up!

Flair ran several blocks away from those suspicious girls. After making it to a familer junction on the road she turned around to make sure she wasn't followed. The coast was clear. Of course, no one could keep up at the pace she was running. She turned towards the alley that leads to the backroom of a local bar. She frequents this place for work sometimes as a part timer and to make contact with an insider to the labs. Today she needed to speak with that insider.

"Oh Flair! Are you looking for some work tonight? I got to tell you the customers love you, tell them the fabalous Flair is working tonight and everyone goes home drunk and happy."
"Sorry Noel, not tonight. I need to speak with my son."
Of course Flair didn't actually have any children. The portly Noel didn't actually know that.
"Sure thing, my cousin just told me that he's moving up in the world. Says your boy got a big promotion in that corporation that he works at. What's it called again? Plama? Plumatech?"
"PlasmiumTech. Seriously Noel don't you read the news? They just got permision to build a military research base in your city."
"Oh right. Well I don't pay much attention to that stuff. Anyway my cuz will set up a meeting between you two. I'll call you when he gets a date. Seriously I don't understand why you don't call him yourself."
"It's because-"
"I know, I know. It's because you don't want to embarrass him at his work. What kind of man would be embarrass to talk to his own mama. Why my mama would always call me, tell me to close up shop real good and don't let the ruffians run rugged in my bar. Ah god bless her soul."
Flair said nothing. She wondered just how much more use she can get out of her contact. Now that her husband was on the loose he would be harder to track down. It was time to ask one last favor from her "son"

 

"Brother...is that really you? Are you really my brother? Where are you? I want to see you. I-I don't remember anything and maybe if I see you I can remember"
Zed was speechless, 'She, She does not remember? She has forgotten what her life was like before this. Maybe that's a good thing, her life was not really the best thing I have ever seen. No, it was the worst, its best if she does not remember, it might just make her really depressed. Or even worse traumatise her.'
"Please I need to see you"
Zed closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
"Sis, do you trust the people with you."
"Do you trust them enough that they will let me see you?"

 

OOT: I have returned from parts unknown! Real life stuff had me worn out for the last few days so I haven't been up for roleplaying as much. But with the 11-hour sleep I got last night I'm feeling pretty good, so let's get this ball rolling again, shall we?

Claus seemed genuinely impressed, something that did not happen very often. He gave Zach a quick nod.
"Doubtlessly. Well done, I hope that feat was not a one-time spectacle."
As they made their way through the halls, dealing with some minor threats along the way, they came to a hallway where Claus could hear some very distinct sounds nearby. He motioned for Zach and Stalk to stay back for a moment as he peeked around the corner. He saw an empty hallway, but there was definitely the sound of human voices nearby-- no doubt coming from one of the rooms. He motioned for the others to follow closely and they inspected the rooms one by one until the came to a room that was sealed off. The voices were louder than ever, no doubt meaning that the people inside had barricaded themselves in to keep away from the "local flora." He called the others closely and whispered quietly.

"It seems we have a decision to make. I'm sure the people inside this room could tell us something about whatever experiments led to this situation, but of course there is no guarantee that they will not be armed. However, I believe it is worth the risk. Even injured, they could be a valuable source of information, which we are sorely lacking at the moment. Of course, we might as well knock first on the off chance that they might be feeling a little more...cooperative under the circumstances. Any objections?"

 

HAH love the bioshock infinate reference. One of my favorite games. @ThatRandomGinger Also am I sensing a Raildex refference in crystle. Heh original younger clone huh huh. Or coincidence.

 

Throne nodded, encouragingly. "If you have the inclination to see him, tell him to come back with the men I sent. We'll have the pair of you reunited in no time at all."

Half and Gevaudan watched Zed closely for any signs of tension, stress, sudden moves.

"Knocking would be a waste of time." Stalk straightened his tie. "I have a certain... gift with people. Just keep them alive. That doesn't necessarily mean in one piece."

 

OOT: @Locks Yeah the Bio reference was intentional but as for crystal she is ella's so ask her on the story, i've already introduced clones earlier attacking Doomguy while he was trying to leave. Also IMMA RIP YOUR HIDE FOR BLOWING UP THAT HOUSE! Kinda made the bringing of the ship pointless but se la vi

Someone better to protect.... I wouldn't say better but we at least handle our selfs....
I see what he's trying to do, the resistance isn't a place for a child but they are right time is against them. I look over and my eyes meet Blaze's, he is thinking the same thing...
"Tell you what...... Let us leave and go back to our own home, we have a few other members like us there. Well more than a few actually several groups of experiments in truth. We will talk it over with them, and be back for crystal if you think its alright...But I will give this warning, up till now it's been hiding from the labs. We, our little group that is, takes a more aggressive approach. Hurting the labs but working from the shadows, there is never any gaurntee we won't attract attention or get out without a scratch."
After Frost gets done explaining what's going to go I look to crystal who has a panicked look on her face from putting out the flame i made.
"Not bad, even thought you hadn't tried to you froze the flame" I guess Ice really is a weakness of mine. I hadn't intended for it be be large but i wasn't expecting it to be put out so easily.
"Now is there anything else before we start to head out?"
Frost asks Crystal's parents while getting up from her seat.

 

I had a puzzled look on my face at her question. Mad, no surprised by it yes.
"No i'm not mad, why would i be?"
As i say this to Crystal, Frost seems to be making something in her hand. A closer look shows it to be a clear crystal made of ice, she then walks over and hands it to Crystal
"Now i have a small task for you, I want you to keep this from melting till we come back. It won't melt fast but if you don't keep an eye on it, it will be gone before you know it" After handing the ice crystal to her Frost looks to her parents
"We will be back if our group agrees, may take a day or two depending on their thoughts of this"
After saying this Frost and I head out, it had apparently been a while as the sky was now getting dark and a few stars could be seen.

On the trip back home i had several questions eating at me, I could no longer take it so i started bombarding Frost with them
"I thought your ice doesn't melt or break unless it's under alot of heat or force"
"Ah so you caught that.....yeah that crystal i gave the girl won't melt any time soon. It's more of a practice tool, get her to think about using her power. If nothing else it can me seen as a toy to keep her mind off of the coming move. She would be more worried about keeping the ice in tact than worrying about where she is going and what's going to happen to her parents"
"I see...." She thinks that far and deep about her actions, she even managed to pass it off as nothing more than just a simple giving of a gift.
"Why... why where you interest in the girl in the first place?"
"Well you played along with me for this long, I guess you earned a bit more of an explanation" Frost took a breath and then sighed
"My experiment was done for Cyro powers, obviously, but what was the over all point? Why give subjects powers in the first place, why wasn't testing done for new cures or discovering diseases. Why make almost super-human subjects?" Frost answered my question with a question of her own. I had long wonder this my self, if the point was to test if humans could have powers after the first couple successful ones what would the point of keeping them alive be? I then remember all the weapons and other armaments, i remember one of the companies involved and may have well started this mess, it was a weapons corp. Thus the reason behind us would be...
"Weaponizing humans.."
"Close....... perfecting one particular 'power' then using the subject who showed strongest in that as the base plan for something larger..."
The realization hit me, they weren't try to weaponize one person, they were getting a blue print for a perfect human-weapon. Once they have that the could mass produce it like and other weapon......
"Cloning"
Frost face held a bitter smile, one that was happy i managed to piece it together but incredibly sad at the fact that it was in fact the truth
"Yes..... I was afraid that girl was the successful clone of me. Before i escaped the labs they showed me a living clone, she looked, sounded like me but she didn't have any powers. Something didn't work out, when i saw the girls silver hair i thought they had done it....."
Frost was silents for a bit as we walked our way to the foundry, she finally spoke up again
"But, seems they still weren't able to do......" Frost stopped mid-sentence. She had froze up as if seeing a ghost, I look to see what has got her like this and find something neither of us would expect.
In front of us was a beautiful woman no older than my self or Frost. She had Spiky silver hair that was shoulder length, and eyes of an ice blue. She had a tank top on and black pants on, an outfit worn by a certain someone. The woman was staring us dead in the face, she looked exactly like Frost. Her face, body, everything was the same. Anyone passing by would assume they are twins....
"Hello, Original" That was all the woman who looked like Frost said

 

"I don't know."
Zeds right eye brow start to twitch a little, 'She's not sure, if it is a good idea to trust them or not. You've got to be kidding me. What did they do, to make her just follow them?'
"I'm to tell you that if we want to see each other that you are to go with the men she sent so that we can be reunited"
He looked at Half and Gevauden, the two stared into Zeds soul with such intent. Their eyes about to pop out of their skulls. 'Why, the, hell are they staring at me like that. I have to follow these two freaks to get to my sister?' He turned and stared at John, John looked back at Zed at let out a light sigh. He puts up the thumbs up as if he knew what Zed was asking. Zed looked back at the floor and closed his eyes. He starts to take deep breaths, 'Two options, follow the two and reunite with my sister, well to the girl that has the same voice as my sister. Or to not go and break this girls heart. I don't like both of these options, mostly because I don't really trust the guy that took my finger, but I also don't like breaking hearts.
*Sigh* "Okay, We will follow the two you guys sent us, I will be seeing you soon."
He held the phone in front of him and ended the call. He tilted his head and looked at the two beasts.
"Shall we go?"

 

Rektor grinned happily at the screen as he watched L001 stand idly in the office. Xavier, Locks, and the girl Grace were having a discussion. He was supposed to show up and officially begin his partnership with the other facility. But screw all that. This way would be much more fun.
"L001, order 81."
"Order 81, confirmed." Loot said calmly. She drew her weapon as the others turned to stare at her.
"Checkpoint saved." Rektor said with a laugh as he pushed a button on his console. The free space of the office shimmered as though a great heat was under the floor, then doors of static appeared and a group of young girls dressed in white cloaks with optic goggles over their eyes stepped through and raised their rifles. They opened fire the moment they were fully corporeal. The bullet storm killed Xavier, he was too surprised by this turn of events to dodge. Locks dove to the side and Grace hid behind the desk, hands over her head. Loot walked up, shoved the tip of her sword through Locks stomach and twisted.
"Health 0%, Game Over." Loot said dispassionately and cut Locks stomach open spilling his organs onto the ground. The spekopz units moved forward and riddled his body with bullets, severing tendons and destroying muscles. As a group they hoisted him up onto the desk. Pushing aside the panels of the drop ceiling, they tied part of his large intestine around a decent enough support, put the other end around his neck then made him stand on the desk. Loot cut his legs off and they watched as he was asphyxiated.
Duty done, the static doorways reappeared and the legion stepped back inside. Loot paused at the threshold.
"What about the girl?" She asked Rektor.
"Leave her. What harm can she do?" He asked with a laugh.
"Understood, Master." Loot said and stepped through the doorway. It closed behind her, leaving a bullet riddled office, one body partially hanging out of the destroy window when his chair was blown backwards by the force of the impacts; the other body spun lazily from the ceiling, held in air by it's slowly tearing large intestine. Hiding under the desk cowered Grace, kneeling in the puddle of urine she had made when fear made her void her bowels. She sat in her own filth for a long time as her mind refused to come out of panic mode.

Syn watched the woman leave, then hoisted the sack with the struggling ghost onto her shoulder and slowly trudged from the warehouse. She called for a pickup, hopefully it wouldn't take too long before they got there. She was doubtful of the sack's ability to contain the aberration.

.................................

 

I know I told you to be as gruesome as you want but did you seriously have to have her piss herself!!!

 

hey, it's scary stuff. And yes. Yes I did.

 

"Excellent," Half said pleasantly. "If you'll just follow me then, we will return to our vehicle and get you to her poste-haste."
Gevaudan raised a clawed finger. "Though, it's gotta be said, I see one sign of you getting a bit antsy... I hear shadows are low on calories," he growled threateningly, and followed as Half led the way back down the path towards, of all things, an ice cream van.

Throne smiled gently, taking the phone back from her and placing it in her pocket.
"You must be very excited. Is there anything you would like before you see your brother?"
