Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

[Serris]

"Well..." Dr. Kerzach began, ignoring the gunfire around him. "Well, Aedelwulf has been experimented on for starters. I've been promoted to team leader and we got some new equipment," he said.

"Speaking of which, what's the plan?" he added.

---------------------------------------

Cobalt Leader and the Mongoose Cobalt soldier were picking off the armored vehicles with stolen "Picador" anti-tank rocket launchers.

The ground behind them was littered with thousands of small plastic balls.

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters were on their last rounds of ammunition as they shot at the Dragonstorm troopers.

---------------------------------------

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey, Zachary, Neville, Hans and Werner were with Crimson Squad.

"Vic! We're going to enter the Lab 101 trailer itself. Can you hold them off for us?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

Zachary reloaded his rifle as he shot an onrushing Dragonstorm trooper.

Neville gasped as a jet of fire passed over his head. He was thankful that as an Iguana, he had scales and was totally hairless or else his "near miss" would have been quite serious.

He turned around and saw a small fireball hovering in the air. "Guys, it's a Dragonstorm experiment!" he shouted.

Dr. Zanasiu reacted immediately and shot the creature. To his horror, the slug tore into the creature's chest with no effect. He suddenly remembered what Shelton said. "Guys! Hit the neck!" he shouted, diving out of the way of another fireball.

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

"?dulwulf?" said Shelton, scratching his head. "The former commander of the Pelvanida sublevel guard? What does he have to do with anything?"

He looked around the generator. "You have a switchblade, right?" he said. "I think I remember what wires Kagetora cut--"

"Achates?" said a voice behind them.

Shelton whirled around. Commander Ajax, leader of DS-2, jabbed his thumb at the exit. "We're leaving. Get moving."

"Wait! We weren't going to sabotage the generator!" Shelton exclaimed wildly. "I meant...something else!"

Ajax narrowed his eyes. "What are you talking about?" he asked. "We have a new mission. All surviving DS teammates have to report to the parking lot for a briefing."

"Oh." Shelton looked at Kerzach. "Can Ker-er... Dr. Gallo come with me?"

"Doesn't bother me," shrugged Ajax. Then he started for Lab 101, with the air of one expecting to be followed.

Shelton glanced back at Kerzach. <If you cut the cable where the generator sends its energy out to the rest of the base, and damage the control panel, that should temporarily disable it well enough for this fight. Then if you want you can catch up with me, and we'll see what this new mission is.>

[Mirumoto_Kenjiro]

As the experiment appeared, Vic took heed of Dr Zanasiu's notion of weaknesses in the Dragonstorm projects.  "You heard him!  Go for the neck!"  The members of Crimson Squad armed with rifles fired in unison, Erin obviously being the most accurate...

----------

Ivory Squad reached the other end of where the trailer is kept, dispatching any guards that were near.  Though most of the unmanned copters were destroyed, the ground vehicles remained a menace...

"We need to take these things out fast!" Ivory Leader shouted over the gunfire.

One of his squad members, a robotics expert, looked around the corner.  "Interesting," he began.  "It seems that either they are under a remote-control systems like all unmanned vehicles, or they have some sort of-"  He never got to finish that sentence when a fragment round exploded in his face, killing him instantly.  The blast almost struck another soldier...

----------

Hearing the monster's ranting, Azrael watched the attack planes leave, probably to refuel.  He picks up his phone.  "Dr Branston, this is Azrael.  Come in."

[MrDrake]

Jayden stepped back when the Dragonstorm experiment appeared and opened fire on it along with the rest of the group before moving into cover to reload "Can this day get any better?" he spoke, rather sarcastically though as he continued to fire upon the experiment still.

***

Aimee on the other hand, had folded her arms somewhat as she glanced around, it was a little too quiet than what it should be "I don't like this....it seems a little too quiet, almost as if....something is....watching us...." she spoke, taking another look around again, stepping back a little bit as she heard some sort of creaking nearby, her ears twitching upon hearing said creaking.

"Why do I get the feeling that we're being watched?" Aimee asked Alfred and the others.

***

Shakila jumped out of the back of Alfred's truck, a wrench in hand as she moved along the side of the truch, glancing over to Agito and Slash, seeming to tell them to be quiet as she glanced out from the side of it.  A Dragonstorm experiment was there, one that looked to be a Hellhound as it gave off a howl.

Shakila looked to the wrench she was holding, then back over to the Hellhound, realizing that this wrench was going to be useless against the experiment as she moved back into the back of the truck to get something more effective, since the Hell Hound had not seen her as of yet.

The Hellhound gave off another howl as four more arrived on the scene, to make it a total of five all up as she looked back out before popping her head back in again "Five of them now?" she asked herself as one of the Hellhounds rushed towards the truck, jumping up onto the roof, having caught the scent of Shakila.

It walked along the roof of the truck and growled lightly as it looked inside to see Shakila there, growling a second time as out from its mouth dripped, what seemed to be molten lava, buring the back of the truck, to which Shakila just gasped, moving back as far as she could.

Something was different about these Hellhounds, part of their face was clearly metalic as well as this one growled at Shakila once again.

***

Subject 19 was ranting some more still "So come on! Give me a real challenge! Give me a fight against a God!" she roared out as she walked forwards through the streets, seeming to have stopped caring for the fact that Azreal and his bodyguard was still watching her "Give me something powerful to face!"

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

Shelton was following Ajax when they came across a body. "Sixteen!" Shelton gasped, kneeling over him.

Ajax looked over. "You knew him?" he asked. "I don't even recognize him."

Shelton didn't answer. Patting out the remaining flames, Shelton took 16's coat off and placed it over his face. He'd only known the old man a couple of days, but he felt like they'd shared something that he didn't get from most of the other group members.

Ajax tapped his athletic watch. "Simpson, he's dead! We have to go!"

Shelton slowly got up and followed Ajax towards the parking lot.

[Serris]

Dr. Kerzach looked at the generator. He knew that cutting the energized wire could get him killed not to mention his switchblade could not cut cable or wire, so he settled on the next best thing. He waited until he was sure that no one was present and drew his switchblade and quickly cut the fuel and coolant lines. For good measure he destroyed the control panel with a shotgun blast and ran after Shelton. His high running speed meant that he could cover ground quickly.

--------------------------

The armored vehicle that Dr. Branston disembarked the APC he was riding in and entered the seriously damaged control room. "Azreal, this is Dr. Branston, what do you have to report?" he asked via radio.

He glanced behind him and saw some Dragonstorm troopers shooting it out with the invaders.

--------------------------

Alfred looked around. "Something's here but I can't see it or anything," he said.

--------------------------

Dr. Zanasiu's team was at the "front door" of Lab 101.

Zachary shot the Dragonstorm experiment in the throat, temporarily incapacitating it.

Neville cried out as a Dragonstorm trooper shot him in the chest. He collapsed to the ground and braced his rifle and fired, striking the trooper in the head and instantly killing him. "Medic," he gasped out.

"Vic, can you tend to Neville? I'm going to lead the rest of my team into Lab 101," Dr. Zanasiu said. He pulled the door and to his surprise the door easily swung open. And the it appeared to be completely deserted.

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

Shelton could see the parking lot in the distance. There were a fair amount of people in the parking lot, but not nearly enough to account for every DS Reconnaissance Team.

"Where are the rest?" he asked Ajax.

"We've taken heavy casualties today, trying to defend the base," Ajax admitted sullenly. "Almost every team has lost two or three people; 3, 8, and 9 are the only teams with more than half their men alive, and Team 7 has been completely lost."

"How is your team? Team 2?" asked Shelton.

"No losses yet. Only team that can say that."

Shelton didn't really know how to reply, so when he saw Kerzach running over, took the opportunity to focus attention on him. They were almost at the lot.

[MrDrake]

Aime's ears continued to twitch as what sounded like music begun to play as she took another look around "Music?" she asked as she tried to lock onto where the music was coming from.

She looked to the rooftops and saw a figure standing there, playing on, what seemed to be a flute "Alfred, over there" she spoke, motioning to him, only to watch the figure leap backwards and off the rooftop.

[Nick22]

' Lets keep moving forward " Aisha said, not noticing the figure above them.. " What is taking the other guys so long anyway?
_ they're trying to destroy the Lab' DR Landon said, ducking as a bullet richoteted over his head, just missing his ear.

[Serris]

Cpl. Stern had been assigned to Alfred and Aimee's group. His submachine gun was out He figured it would be easier to use than his full-sized rifle in the close conditions of Zenarchis's lab. He had fired some shots at the mysterious figure but missed.

"I'll get him later," Alfred said. He suddenly saw the doorknob turn. Reacting immediately, he fired several shots through the door.

He then kicked the weakened door so hard that it literally flew off the hinges. He charged in with his shotgun at the ready. The body of a thin Human, riddled with buckshot, lay in front of the doorway. Other than that, the office was empty, save for a computer, a desk, a chair, a water cooler and an empty gun rack.

"If this is the head office, where is Zenarchis?" Cpl. Stern asked.

It was a good question; the office was completely deserted.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the opposite side of the lab.

Alfred and Cpl. Stern trained their weapons towards the noise. A massive Nile Crocodile, who stood a little taller than Alfred, appeared. He carried what appeared to be a double barreled 4-gauge shotgun and several shells in a bandolier across his chest, which was bare save for a green vest. Several old bullet wounds were visible on his chest and one was even on his head.

Cpl. Stern prepared to fire when the stranger spoke.

Alfred, where have you been?!" the Crocodile said heartily, lowering his shotgun. He had the faintest trace of an East African accent in his voice.

"Gustave? Is it you?" Alfred asked.

"So you know this man?" Cpl. Stern asked. He was not exactly trusting of him, even if Alfred knew him.

"Know him?! He's one of my oldest friends! Everyone, I'd like you to meet Gustave Chiumbo, aka 'Iron Crocodile'!"

"Hello, Mr. Chiumbo," Cpl. Stern said.

"Pleasure to meet you!" Gustave bellowed, taking Cpl. Stern's hand and nearly crushing it in an enthusastic handshake.

---------------------------

Dr. Kerzach arrived at the parking lot. "So Simpson, what are we planning to do?" he asked, making sure to use Shelton's assumed name.

[Mirumoto_Kenjiro]

"The situation here in Southport is getting dire," Azrael said.  "The experiment has injected itself with perhaps the same stuff that turned this town to hell.  It has lost the ability to heal, but it's still strong enough to rip the local army to pieces.  There's no subtle way to kill it now..."

----------

Vic grabbed Neville from the ground and dragged him around the corner to treat him.  "We'll keep your exit covered," he said to Dr Zanasiu.  "Take Aiko and Tank with you, so they can find a way to take down these tanks!"

Tank and Aiko stood next to Dr Zanasiu's team, ready to follow...

----------

With earshot of the gunfight, a Dragonstorm trooper hurried to his jeep, when someone came up behind him and snapped his neck.  Standing above the corpse was Project Breathtaker, whom later took the dead man's clothes and sped off in the jeep...

[Cancerian Tiger]

Meanwhile, Anne was still trying to figure out exactly what Subject 19 was.  She wanted to follow the weird creature.  However, too much mayhem had broken out in the city, so she stayed put as she searched the building for survivors.

[aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato)]

They reached the parking lot. Shiny black armored vans sat in rows, untouched from the shooting going on elsewhere.

"We're about to find out," Shelton put his finger to his lips as Ajax addressed the assembled DS teams.

"All right," Ajax bellowed, his voice echoing metallically off the sides of the vans. "Here's the rub. Dr. Branston, acting commander of Dragonstorm, was temporarily captured by the enemy forces. Luckily, DS teams 2, 3, and 5 made a daring rescue, and he's safely returned."

The other DS teams clapped.

"The best part is, he got the location where a large amount of the attackers are holed out," continued Ajax. "And that's where we're going. We're hitting them where they're the strongest, annihilating them there, and then we're going to circle around the base perimeter and pick off the rest of them."

He stopped facing and crisply turned to face the group. "We, like every branch of Dragonstorm, have taken losses today. We've lost more DS team members in the last 5 hours than any day since the evacuation of Pelvanida. But now, we're going to give them the same heavy casualties they've bestowed upon us. And we will be the saviors of Dragonstorm!"

The cry rose through the ranks.

"We are the best that Dragonstorm has to offer!" Ajax roared. "And they haven't faced anything like us yet! Let's see how they're doing when we've got a van and a turret for every two footmen of theirs!"

The men cheered and rushed for the vans. Shelton barely managed a glance at Kerzach before being swept up in the ranks and dumped into the back of a vehicle. In unison, every engine in the parking lot roared to life and the convoy rolled out around the camp's perimeter, guns sticking out of every window.

[MrDrake]

Aimee arched her eyebrow towards the crocodile that met Alfred and how he was rather friendly as well, to which she folded her arms "So, you're a friend of Alfred's? Then....what are you doing here at this place?" she asked him, sounding a little confused as well.

***

The Hellhound growled at Shakila some more before its ears twitched somewhat as well upon hearing music, the same music that Aimee had heard earlier on.  It growled at Shakila some more before leaving the van and running to the other four Hellhounds, to which the five of them rushed to the edge of the lab where the figure was standing.

He stood there, flute in hand as the Hellhounds rushed to his side, to which they turned around and growled in the direction of the lab. He placed the flute to his lips again and played another little tune and nodded in the direction of the lab, to which the Hellhounds howled and rushed off towards the lab.

Hailey looked over to the figure and heard the flute "Is it....him?" she asked and looked over to see the figure "What's he doing here?"

Kiara looked over "You know him?" she asked curiously.

"Yeah....I do actually, it was when I was with Trinity, I met him...." Hailey replied back as she motioned for Kiara to stay where she was, to which she approached the figure.

***

He continued to play on his flute still before stopping as he watched as Hailey approached him "Long time no see"

"Yeah, nice to see you too Drake.....what are you doing here?" Hailey asked him.

"Helping out the cause, Lab 101 needs protection after all" Drake answered back to Hailey "What about you? I heard that Trinity Facility was destroyed....so what are you doing here?"

Hailey however, went quiet, as she didn't want to say anything about what she had been though, having joined the good guys as she looked aside.

[Mirumoto_Kenjiro]

Dr Joe & Walter raced back to the laboratory with the briefcase, but Dr Joe went alone inside to put her safety suit on...

----------

Ivory Squad remained pinned down by the umanned ground vehicles, which have now stopped to create a barricade...

----------

Soon, the escort helicopters achieved air superiority over the area around Lab 101, but they've spent much of their armament on the enemy, and a growing number of blips on their radar meant that enemy reinforcements were coming.

"Crimson Base!  This is Escort Leader!  Air superiority has been achieved, but we can't maintain it for long!  Commence Operation Long Reach!"

----------

It was not long for the Utah base recieved the message.  "Crimson Base to Escort Leader.  Operation Long Reach is commencing.  Maintain air superiority over the target..."

[Serris]

"Kill it by any means possible. If Southport's gone to hell, no one is going to miss it when you level the place," Dr. Branston replied.

-------------------------------

Gustave looked around. "I am really ashamed to say this but I found out about Dragonstorm during Pelvanida's reconstruction and I enlisted as a guard," he said with a sigh.

Alfred clenched his fists. "But why!?" he demanded.

"I needed money and the construction work wasn't paying enough."

"Listen to me Gustave, Dragonstorm has a near total disregard for morals and life. They care only about money. It is in your best interest to sever all ties with them. Go ask PFC Reynolds what Dragonstorm did to him because he failed the mission."

Cpl. Stern shook his head. "Alfred's right. Dragonstorm literally left PFC Reynolds's fate at our hands. Fortunately for him, we decided to simply apprehend, rather than kill him," he said.

Gustave sighed. "But the-"

"Gustave, what is worth more, the money or your life?" Alfred asked icily.

Gustave sighed as he thought for a moment. "Alfred... I"  

"Gustave! Have you killed the intruders!" a voice barked from somewhere in the office.

-------------------------------

PFC Reynolds had gotten another "Picador" antitank rocket launcher and was assisting Cobalt Squad in holding off the armored vehicles.

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters slithered away to the armory to get more ammunition for their pistols.

Cobalt Leader noticed that the boulder they had taken cover behind was severely torn down by weapons fire. "Guys, once Crota and Masters get back, we'll need to move," he said.

As he spoke, weapons fire tore the air above him. He retaliated with a quick burst of fire from his rifle.

-------------------------------

Dr. Zanasiu nodded. "Thanks, Vic," he said.

He then led the way into the lab. The lights were on but the halls were completely empty. But a single table was overturned in the nearby kitchen

"Strange, where is everyone?" Hans asked aloud.

As if tempting fate, someone shot at the group from behind the overturned table. Dr. Zanasiu dove behind a counter while Hans and Zachary darted outside and returned fire.

The table proved useless against their rifle rounds.

"So now what?" Werner asked, reloading his pistol.

Dr. Zanasiu thought a moment. "Dr. Bailey, you head to the control room with Aiko and Werner. See if you can hack into the system or something. I'll take Tank and the rest of the group around the entire lab,"

Dr. Bailey pulled out his container of pepper spray. He sighed, it was a joke compared to the firearms that everyone else wielded. "All right, Aiko, Werner let's move," he said.

He then headed down another hall, which had a helpful indicator pointing to the control room.

[MrDrake]

Drake looked to Hailey for a moment and just let off a light sounding, soft chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Hailey asked him.

"All this time, and you have not changed a single bit" Drake answered as he looked over to Lab 101 once again "But do amuse me on why you are here if Trinity and Kain are dead, do not tell me that you've joined these.....Anti-Dragonstorm people.....it would just break....my....heart...." he smirked to her.

Hailey again, looked to the side again "Aimee's with them....and she's the reason I joined them mainly...."

"Aimee? Friend of yours I take it?" Drake decided to ask rather curiously.

Hailey gave off a nod back "Yeah" she paused for a second, looking back over to where Kiara was still standing.

"Such a shame too, I thought that you had such potential helping out Dragonstorm too....you were going so well with them" Drake then placed his flute to his mouth and started to play on it a little bit again.

"That's what I thought at first, but then seeing what they really did....I just couldn't handle it anymore, that's all, I had to get away"

Drake stopped playing for a moment "You are one strange girl, you know that?" he chuckled softly again "Perhaps you might change your mind and join Dragonstorm again at a later date....but at the moment....there is still unfinished business that needs to be done here....as I do hate to say it, but your friends....they do have to die for opposing Dragonstorm like this"

"No...please...please don't...." Hailey told him rather sadly.

"I'm sorry it had to come to this, but I do have my orders after all....kill any who do oppose Dragonstorm" Drake told her softly still, his voice not even changing in tone as he went back to playing on his flute again.

And that's when Kiara had approached, having overheard a few things, but enough to decide to interviene "Kill us all?" Kiara asked him and pulled her gun on him.

Drake just sighed a little as he saw what Kiara had just done "I wouldn't advise that if I were you" he spoke as he stopped playing once again.

"Those Hellhounds....I saw what you did, controlling them, call them off" Kiara practically ordered him.

Drake however, just remained calm still "I'm afraid that you are in no position to give orders" as he begun to play on his flute again.

Kiara was indeed, ready to pull the trigger on him, however, her feet started to tap, the music was starting to control her by that point and before she knew it, the music had taken hold of her and was causing her to....dance.

Hailey looked to Drake "Stop this....please!" she called out to him.

Drake just ignored Hailey as he continued to play and control Kiara, to which Hailey hessiated for a moment, to which she retaliated to try and punch Drake with a swing of her fist.  However, as she swung her fist, Drake moved slightly and used his flute to stop Hailey's punch and in turn, swung and struck her with his flute, slamming it into her face before swinging and actually cutting her cheek with the tip of his flute.

Kiara was free from the dancing of the flute and had seen what Drake had done to Hailey and was about to fire at Drake, only to be struck herself by Drake's flute, to which he struck her in the knees, causing Kiara to fall to her knees as Drake swung again, still using his flute to knock Kiara's gun out of her hand and turned his attention back to Hailey once again.

Hailey was grabbing the side of her cheek, his was now stinging in pain from the cut she had recieved as she glared to Drake and again, tried to punch him, only to be struck across the face by the flute again.

Drake in turn, struck Hailey in the stomach with the flute, which in turn, caused Hailey to fall to her knees as well, grabbing her stomach in some pain as Drake just stood there, placing the flute back to his mouth and begun to play once again.

The two females were beaten just then....by a guy....who used a flue as a weapon....something they didn't even expect themselves.

[Serris]

One of the survivors in the building that Dr. Williams worked in was currently trapped in her lab. She was a rather muscular but still feminine looking Holstein. A name tag on her lab coat gave her name as "Dr. Pauline Wayne".

She tried the door only to find out that it was jammed. Luckily, her lab was equipped with an emergency station that included tools, including a fire ax.

She opened the cabinet, grabbed the ax and started hacking away at the door.

She hoped that someone friendly was nearby.

[Mirumoto_Kenjiro]

"I'll call in the satellite to fire something powerful to take out the entire city...  Azrael out..." Azrael hung up and pulled out an electronic pad with speaker.  "Azrael to DS-1.  Status report."

"PROPULSION SYSTEMS STILL UNDER REPAIR.  WEAPONS SYSTEMS REPAIRED AND BACK TO FULL POWER..." came the reply.

"What is your most powerful payload?"

"THERMONUCLEAR ORDINANCE."

"Do you still have Subject 19's DNA code in your system?  Track it."

"TRACKING...  UNABLE TO FIND TARGET PROJECT..."

"Nevermind...  Just send one of your payload to Southport.  You'll get the target anyway."

"INITIATING THERMONUCLEAR LAUNCH SEQUENCE.  TIME TO LAUNCH E.T.A. 10 MINUTES..."

Azrael hung up, and heard some sort of rythmic banging underneath him...

----------

Vic kept himself calm as he worked on Neville's wounds.  "Just keep your eyes open and your breathing calm.  You may be messed up, but you'll live if you stick with me..."

----------

Aiko followed Dr Baily and Werner to the control room...

----------

Tank followed the rest of the group.  "Let me know the best spots to put some charges," he said.  "I got enough gifts to level the whole damn place!"

----------

Suited back up, Dr Joe entered the main lab, where Dr Falco & Dr Bjerling still continued their tests, with the suitcase and set it on a nearby table...

[MrDrake]

"Okay....okay....what the hell just happened?" Kiara asked Hailey as she glanced up and over to Drake who was still playing on his flute before looking over to Hailey, but found that she wasn't even answering her. "Er...Hailey?" but still no answer.

Hailey was looking over to Drake, yet, she was just silent....especially since that was at least the second time that had happened to her.  She could hear Kiara calling out to her, but was just ignoring her as she had something on her mind at the moment.

Kiara groaned a little bit and grabbed Hailey, pulling her up to her feet and looked at her "Listen, snap out of it, I don't know what the hell is going on here, on who he really is, but you seem to know him quiet a bit....so you mind explaining a few things?"

But again, there was no answer that had came from Hailey, who was still looking at Drake, to which she then looked back to Kiara for a second only to then walk past her rather silently.

Kiara growled a little and walked off after Hailey, grabbing her by the shoulder in order to stop her with a little bit of force behind it as well.  However, what she didn't expect next was to have Hailey turn around and actually strike Kiara, right across the face.

Kiara growled once again when Hailey had struck her and watched as Hailey just walked off again, to which she looked back over to Drake, who in turn, was just chuckling to himself rather lightly.

"You should learn when to stop trying to help others, least that happens to you" Drake told her with another little chuckle as he stepped forward to her "Just give it up, she's already a lost cause as it is....her mind's being torn apart by two clashing factors, if she should stay on your little team you have going on here, or if she should rejoin the ranks of Dragonstorm"

Kiara just gave off a glare to Drake before turning around and heading back to the truck where Shakila was still waiting around.  She would've attacked Drake once again, however, she was still rather concerned for Hailey, whom indeed, at the moment, had a bit of a fragile mind.

***

Subject 19 had indeed, taken care of the rest of the army and gave off another loud roar, to which her wings extended some more, her mind had gone back to Azrael as she took to the air....she just wanted him dead now....believing that at least he might be able to give her a challenge of some sort.

She landed on the same building as he was on as she looked to her claws before speaking to Azrael some more "So, tell me something....how does it feel to be staring death in the face now?  Because I can assure you, by the time that this day is over....you'll be dead" she smirked as she stepped forwards towards him.

***

Aimee looked to Gustave "Go with what Alfred had said, Dragonstorm is not a place you want to be working with" she spoke as she showed him her metal arms "They did this to me.....you want something like this done to you? Cause I can assure you that it's not pretty....Subject 16, a normal human being....Dragonstorm practically gouged out his eyes because he apparantly, saw too much, myself, who they loved to call, Subject 17, this is what they had done to me....Subject 18, I have no clue on what had happened to him or her, as I had not met 18....but Subject 19, a proper Dragonstorm experiment.....she has claws that could probabally slice you limb from limb...."

She paused for a moment as she stepped forward towards Gustave "Do you really want any of those things to happen to you?" she asked him before jolting her head around at the voice that had just called out before looking back to Gustave again "Make the right desicion.....don't throw away your life like this...."
