Aria got up from the ground and was about to go over to Dom to show her appreciation for doing that but she disappeared and Aria didn't know where she went but then Dom reappeared but this time she had the guard, that put the bind back on, with her.

Aria was surprised that Dom would do that for someone she didn't know but was shocked that she even suggested that Aria was the one to decide what would happen to him, so Aria walked over the guard and kneeled down to his eye level, "Could you please take this off?" Aria asked kindly, the guard glared at her, "You don't want to die, do you?" Aria threatened, but still got a glare from the guard.

Aria grabbed the guy's hair and slammed his head to the ground, not enough to kill him but enough to give him a killer headache, "I'll ask you again, Can..You..Take..This..Off? Please?" Aria said menacingly, the guard did what he was asked and was released but non too gently either.

Aria sighed and got up, she looked for Dom and found her walking with Edward to a girl in all black, Aria ran after Dom calling out her name.

Millie says nothing as she plays with her feather. She can hear no thoughts at them moment. She is glad, no one is screaming out to her. She's glad, last night she shared someone's night mare. It was sad. Even if the person saw her in the dream, they wouldn't recgonize her now. She looks like her old self. Sometimes she wishes she could go back to her old self. Other times she can see the advantages of being the way she is.

She releases her dark purple wings and closes herself in it as she hears a Halo guy coming towards her. His thought screams at her. "27- VY- P9..." He looks at her in her 'cocoon' She doesn't even acknowledge him. He gets mad at being ignored, "I have to put a mental inhibitor on you."

I'd like to see you try it.

She waits for the reaction she knows is coming. He shoots at her wing, afraid to touch it. She winces as it falls limp. He pulls her head up by her hair. He's pulling to hard. She makes no noise and he tries to force it on her head. She knocks him back telepathically. She better make it look good. Here they come, reinforcements. Two more come to restrain her. She pretends to put up a fight but the win. So conviencing. They put it on her head, it looks like a metal headband. She looks at them and does not even try to take it off. She's tired, so they think.

"Take it off and we'll have to sedate you." Empty threat... it doesn't work on her. They know it. He must mean try to beat her up. She shorts it out. She's naughty for not telling them about her electricity.

She sits down rubbing her wing, it hurts a little. She then watches it heal. It's really quite interesting to her at how quick it is. Under a minute now that they aren't poking it. She stretches her wings and sighs silently. She goes back to playing with her feather. The mental inhibitor is now a true head band keeping her hair out of her eyes. She does not hear another thought for a little while.

She looks straight at Edward, he called her mentally. She's very sensitive to that sort of thing. When he decided to introduce himself to her, and because they're in such a close area. She heard him call her. People do it it but she concludes that only someone telepathic can pick up on it.

She watches as the two walk over to her, deciding not to read their minds. She looks to see Aria run after them. She has been released from the bind. She stands up and sucks the poison from the feather by sticking herself with it and draining it. She then holds the harmless feather.

She looks at them and smiles at them. For the first time since her transformation she tires to talk. She is not successfully. Nothing comes out. She holds her throat for a moment. She had not even thought about her voice. She may not have one anymore. She should try to laugh or something to find out. She will have to do that later.

"And so I am ignored, oh well that's for the probably best. I'm more suited for the subtle leader role anyway." Fox sighs He perks up and runs over to be were everyone else is. He stands back silently waiting for the bird-girl to introduce herself after she dose and everyone else gives her their name Fox steps and introduces him. "Sorry to do this now but I am Jonathan "Sly" Fox." he says "We're all in this together now aren't we? I guess we'd better make friends.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right outside the door Adrian and the newly released James were talking, err, yelling. "Look you little dumbbell," yells Adrian "I don't care how I treat those freaks! I'm just following orders, now Millian and Isabel said take them to the weapons lab so I am. But not about to treat like they’re human, one of them is f***ing animal!"
James pushed his glasses up and scowls "They could disembowel you with their minds, (OOC: Any ideas anyone?) you fool!"
"Oh big whoop, disemboweled by a fox a good three feet shorter than I am!" argues Adrian "What are they going to do? Kidnap us and use as barging chips to get out? But wait, puny man, here's the killer....They do NOT turns us over and in fact keep us around should Millian go after them? HA! Like they would do that!"

Adrian opens the Courthouse door and pushed James inside. "I'll be sure to avenge your death should they kill you." he said laughingly.

((I appologise for the short post.))

Millie looks at them for a moment. She can't speak. She smiles at Dom and Fox. She is not trying to read their minds but certain thoughts are getting to her. She holds her throat a little confused.

I am Millennia Sadios. Please call me Millie. Don't give it away that this thing on my head isn't working.

It seems right now that telepathy will have to be her only means of communication until her voice comes back. If it ever does come back. She nods to Fox. They are all in this together. She is grateful that they are friendly. She is not going to read their minds just yet. Milliennia senses two new minds in the nearby area. She looks to the door before it opens.

The fear coming from the man that walks through is screaming at her. She reads his mind and knows his intentions. The poor man seems so scared. She looks away as Dom talks to him. She looks at Fox for a moment.

What do you want to be called? Fox or Sly? She asks him.

Her wings rest on her back. She realizes after a moment and pulls them into her body. She wouldn't want anyone to accidentally touch them. One of the scientist that experimented oh her forgot to put on her gloves. She will never make that mistake again or any other. Since then, Millie has learned how to concentrate the poison. Still if someone touches it by mistake they will get sick.

She looks to Aria, she still wonders if she can use poison to numb the pain. That is something she will have to figure out. She wonders for a moment about why everyone mutated in such ways. She is brought from her own thoughts by someone's disturbing thought. It's not really that disturbing but it's very dark. She looks in the direction of the one responsible for it.

Aria smiled at Millie, "It's nice to meet you." Aria said, her tentacle was somewhat wagging like a tail and it caused some of the acid that was dripping to fly in different areas, Aria grasped her her tentacle to stop its swing and tried to control the acid from dripping.

When Aria was able to somewhat get it controlled she heard Fox introduce himself and looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Was that just coincidence?" Aria asked really wondering if that was his actual name.

Then the door opened and a scared man in came in looking like was about to have a heart attack this very second, Aria saw from the corner of her eye, Dom walking toward the scared man and talking to him, so Aria walked over to Millie and sat down next to her, her tentacle coiling afterward, "I wonder who he is." Aria said to herself.

Trixee woke up more confused than she had ever been in her life.

I remember hearing Kira tell me about Star...but then what happened?

Trixee rose up and looked around. She was in a cell surrounded by other cells with frightened, furious, and otherwise sorrowful creatures. They obviously weren't human, and their appearance startled her at first, but their demeanor, their actions, showed many similarities. It was at this point that a thought struck Star.

Oh God. Am I different too?

She stood up and looked down; she wore the exact same clothes she was wearing before, but then she saw something flash beside her: a black line. She ran around herself until she caught her black, cat tail. She stared at it in horror and then she felt the top of her head. Surely enough, there were furry, pointed ears there. She screamed.

As her mouth closed, she bit her lip, which had begun bleeding a little. She licked her teeth.

FANGS?!

Everything was so overwhelming that her knees gave out and she dropped to the ground, putting her face in her hands and sobbing. Then she heard the sound of footsteps get closer to her. She saw three men, one of them, a scientist.

"Z-13XY-L! Stay where you are! Put your hands in the air!" one of the men, carrying a large gun, yelled at her.

She did as she was told, but asked,"Sir, where am I-?"

"Be quiet! This is an order! And stop crying!"

With her hands still in the air, the scientist approached her. "Ah, Z-13XY-L, I see you've mutated."

"You say it like it's a good-."

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" the man yelled even more loudly this time.

The scientist continued,"I'm sure you are very confused. Allow me to explain. We are experimenting on people to see the effects that mutation has on them."

Trixee, no longer scared, but furious, asked, "Without their permission?" She showed her teeth, her FANGS.

"Ah. Fangs. When I saw you grow a tail earlier, I expected you to get fangs as well. Would you follow me?"

Trixee rose up, still holding her hands in the air. She followed the scientist and the guards, frightened, furious, a mixture of emotions. After a few hallways, they came to a courtyard, filled with other mutated humans. The guards gave her a push; she lost her balance and fell. When she got up, all of the creatures were staring at her.

Edward started to feel like he was being ignored by the others and decided to inspect the surroundings, try to look for some kind of exit other than the door. If he stayed longer he would probably be in trouble for impaling that guard. "I wonder if he's dead?" he thought to himself.

Suddenly another person was thrown into the pit (As he comes to call it now.) she was a small girl, who looked awful lot like a cat. He couldn't help but imagine how great her and Fox would get along. but something bothered him. She looked at him and around to the others as if they were creatures or some kind of animals, he didn't like this look.

Nevertheless he was friendly. He didn't like being a prick to others before actually getting to know them. He didn't know what she's been through or how early, she's changed. "Hi. My name's Edward." he said, his face stopped bleeding. The barbs were stronger this time, before they couldn't penetrate his skin, was it a new metal? He wiped the blood away and smiled, he didn't look threatening though, it was an inviting smile despite the eye patch and barbs retracting into it.

Adrian watched as yet another freak joined the gang, he looked over to where James was having a polite conversation with the devil girl. Tapping a button on his helmet he brought a clock into his field of vision. It was 12:45. Darn. Though Adrian I need to get these guys over to the lab before Millian turns me into one of them.

Adrian walked into the courtyard and with a new de-watered blaster in hand he shot into the ceiling. "Look," he shouted "I don't give a rat's ars how much of good time your having meeting frightened cat-girls, talking to the scientists, or generally relaxing. I've got this thing set to 'kill' and if so much as see one of you freaks not following James to the Weapon's Lab, I will personally see to it that you never walk again."

A light threat, but an effective one, James formed a line Dom right behind him. Adrian waited for the rest to get in line and he brought up the rear, his blaster pointed right as Edward's head. Fox was in front of Edward. During the walk Fox turned to Edward and said "Looks like it’s that time for Mr. Halo, eh?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a different part of Area Nero, Millian and Isabel were standing in front of a giant cage, several of them actually. Millian had a hand to his ear listing to Adrian give a report. When it was over he turned to Isabel and said "Adrian and James have arrived at the Lab with my Test Subjects, after they receive their weapons you will release Supernaughts J-9k, M-45, Cat-Fz2, and Prototype-DJ. James and Adrian are not to know that their release is not accident, and the Subjects must make it out with both of them for the test to succeed. To I make my self clear?"

"Crystal, Sir" she answered. Millian nodded and walked off, leaving Isabel far behind. Millian had an un-eventful journey to his office; it was in his office that he received an event. A man clothed in a black cloak that obscured every detail was sitting in his chair. "I didn't expect you back so soon." he told the man.

"Neither did I," said the man "I was called here by a force beyond even my understanding...............I believe you about to test the next batch?"
"Yes, I am. But what-" started Millian.
"Absolutely nothing. I was just wondering, but don't push them to much. I need them fresh if they are to survive my test." said the man.
"As you say, this is after all your party, I'll be gentle." said Millian

"Good."

Before anything could be said or done a nob-jockey security guard came in blasting his squirt gun around telling everyone to start moving. As everyone started to leave, "Looks like it’s that time for Mr. Halo, eh?" Fox said. Edward laughed and as he did he was butted in the gut by the halo imitator. "Thank you sir may I have another?" Edward said smirking. "Little Punk." he said hitting him again. "Little... I'm taller than you." Edward remarked again, which he then got hit once more for.

"I think you missed a spot." he said getting hit in the head this time. He could feel laughter from some of them and the annoyance of the guard. "Godamn are they ever going to find the dead guard in my cell?" He thought walking through the door, still sensing the amusement from the others.

Millie smiles at Aria
He is James. He used to work with Dom before she was turned into what she is now. He's nice. He didn't want this to happen either.

The ability to read minds come in handy. She knows about their past because that is what they are thinking about.

Adrian walks in and Millie knew every thought in his head before he even stepped through the door. She ignored him for the most part. Adrian was harmless to her. Her mind so clear and able to read him. She was being receptive looking for a chance to leave. That's how she heard Edward's thoughts without trying.

His mind on the dead guard in his room. He seems a little crazy to start something violent here. Millie wants to leave but knows this is not the time. She's waiting for it though. Eversince she woke up and could hear all the voices. It's been difficult for her to think straight. They've calmed now that she has some control. She wishes to get complete control soon. She's kept a few of her abilities secret just for that. This mental inhibitor is now a head band and they are none the wiser. She will keep it that way until it's time to leave. She just wonders where she will go. Where any of them will go. She definitely has no where to go. Her family wasn't really there for her before this. And they won't be now. Best to leave them to their new lives.

She follows the line. She knows where the weapons lab is and what they will be given. Adrian and James' mind telling her everything.

(I appologise for the short post))

Aria heard Millie's answered and looked back to Dom and James, "That's interesting." Aria said to herself. When that Halo dude came in and started ordering everyone to get in line, Aria got up, keeping her tentacle coiled and kept the collar loose so it doesn't look like it was ever off and then went into the line behind Millie.

On the way to the lab, Aria trying not to laugh when Edward was ticking the guard off with his antics and had to cough to cover it up. Wen Dom threatened the guard, Aria and everyone around knew she wasn't joking, 'That's sweet of her.' Aria could help but think.

Little was said in the Weapon's Lab, it had this unnatural aura hanging about it. It was the worst parts of the horror that is Death, and the stench of malice. It was quite an uncomfortable place to be. That is untrue......Only those sensitive to the Otherside would notice, but James and Adrian? No.

Adrian rushed them inside and said "All right, just pick and choose; I don't care what you take, for in order to survive the General's tests you'll HAVE to be good at what you do."

James presses a button on the side of a wall and the other walls move up and out to reveal hundreds of weapons contained within. A small target comes up out to the floor. "Grab your weapons and use them on the target, Subjects!" orders Adrian He points his gun at Fox and says "You first Animal."

"Fine, don't blow a gasket!" Fox walks up to the wall directly opposite from the door. He grabs what looks like a flamethrower and a magnum from the wall. He turns to the target and holds up the magnum. "Wait." he said "This isn't a normal magnum is it?"

James shakes his head no, and then backs away quickly and says "What ever you do, DON'T hold down the trigger for very long." Fox just stares at the man with his mouth wide open. "Perhaps the Flamethrower then? He heheh." He put the magnum in a holster he took from the wall, and removes the flamethrower from the strap across his back. He set it up and then fires.

But instead of flames some kind of blue energy rises out of Fox's body and goes into the flamethrower, it turns a pale blue color and then a blast of ice shoots forward from the flame--Icethrower. "You know, I don't think being mutant is half bad with powers like these!"

((OOC - Sorry about the cruddy post, also Krisu Sakakamie [or whatever it was] as opted out of this RP))

Edward witnessed what fox had just done. He was excited now, was he going to get such an awesome weapon as well? "Ok your up next." the guard said to Edward. "He didn't even get to try the other thing." he thought to himself and simply shrugged it off. He picked out his weapons a strange looking gun and some kind of round device. As he inspected the collar, it opened and latched itself around his neck. he was startled until he found that it didn't actualy try to strangle him.

"Ok now hit the target." the guard said. shrugging he aimed the gun and shot. A black beam came out and almost looked like a liquid at one moment. It was a glowing darkness and as the beam hit the target had a hole blown right through it.

"I love this gun!" he said, "Hey whats this do?" he twisted a something on the gun, the gun straightened into a sword and a beam was projected along it "SWEET!" he said awing at it and walking off. Needless to say the guard weren't too happy about this.

Millennia is very quiet and stays out of the way as the others get their weapons. She is reading the mind of every Halo guy around her. She stays one step away the hole time. She is not in the mood to be hit. She watches each of her companions, that's what they are now, as they picked out their weapons. She can tell each weapon was mad specifically for them.

Millie keeps her main focus on the guard watching her. He seems to be a bit confused by her. She is too well behaved he believes. She's just reading his mind. She looks to see what weapons might be for her but she is distracted by the others. The boys seem to be enjoying their toys. She could have guessed that would happen with out her ability. She did actually, not reading their minds at all.

Dom is having what seems to be a hard time. Millie will not read her mind but she can tell by the girl's behavior. Millie wants to go help her and moves to do so. The Halo guys are always to rough. As soon as she moves her guard hits her with the back of his gun. She was focused on Dom. She rubs the back of her head, making sure not to move her 'inhibitor'.

"Your turn." He says and pushes her towards some weapons. She frowns a little as she looks at them. One catches her eye and she picks it up. It's a viper blade. She used to love to play with Ivy in soul calibur, so she recognizes it instantly. She looks at it and wonders how it would work. She looks at the target. She is twenty feet away. She reads the guards minds and then Adrian's and James minds. She finds the information about her weapons. She picks up the mini laser cannon and shoots it at the Target. It does what it's supposed to do.

She sees a staff and picks it up. The guard chuckles and she reads his mind. It's an Electromagnetic Staff. She gets the basic info on it. So, it can emit and electromagnetic pulse. She just needs to charge it up. She wonders to herself. She has not told them about her electric powers or her telekinetic ones. She no one knows about it. She made sure to hide them well. This weapon seems to be have made though for just such a person. She then reads the minds of the two scientist. It's a prototype.

"Stop playing with that and get in line" The guard says to her. She doesn't listen to him and slightly moves over so that he misses her. She holds the staff generating a small electric pulse to it. The staff reacts to it. It's charging up it seems. She keeps it low so that no one will notice her. The guard is [censored]ed off at her and comes at her. She puts the staff down and straps her viper blade to he waist. It's small, almost a short blade but will work effectively when she use it. She puts the mini laser cannon, the size of an average machine gun, on the other side. Sword on the left, cannon on the right. She then picks the staff back up. It's an inch or two shorter than her. She could use it well. She wants to keep it.

"Put it down." She holds it close to her like a little kid with their favorite toy. The guard hits her with his gun and knocks her to the floor. He points it at her, "That is not for you." Her wings sprout instinctively and she covers herself with them. The Halo guy grabs her wing and then steps back. Her left wing huts a bit now. The poison is very potent and is eating through his armor. He steps back confused for a moment.

"Let her have the thing, Not like she can use it." She hears another guard say. She hears a little quarreling and then gets her way. She is content but knows she will be punished. The think it's harmless because she will never figure out what it is and she can't charge it. She then feels a sharp pain in her wings. She let it happen but it still hurts. She has to make them believe they have some control over her. It's just like with her parents.
She uncovers herself and looks at her right wing. The blood and poison dripping to the floor. Hmm, that's weird. She thought it was poison but mixing with her blood, there's s stranger reaction. She's never had the poison this potent before.

She touches it and it eats through her glove a little. He skin is fine. She looks at the floor, the floor is getting a hole were her blood is. Some says what she is thinking. "Hydrochloric Acid?" It can't have done that? Her blood mixing with her strongest poison can do that? She has to find out if it's true. She will not now. She holds her wing to stop the dripping as she heals. She slowly walks to the line. Her tail holds her staff close to her. It's wrapped around it tightly.

Edward fired a spike to startle the guard and it did so not without angering him though "If you want to hit someone, you can hit me. But she doesn't deserve it. None of them do, so if you want to hit something, hit me." He said growing out another spike and walking up to the guard. "I'll take whatever you can dish out." he said.

Almost instantly he was hit with the butt of the gun. Looking back at the guard with almost emotionless eyes he calmly said "Had your fill?" and was immediately hit again and again. While the blows continued he couldn't help suppress the thought that he shouldn't be here. He was in a bar ready to commit suicide, he even had the bottle of pills in his pocket when they had ran in. He thought how he didn't deserve to live, for being so selfish as to kill himself. He was still alive, regretfully and accepting the punishment for others can be the only way he could now counterbalance that selfishness he had before.

Every strike reminded him of his lowest point and drove him to accept even more in hate of himself. The strikes stopped and Edward looked up "Had enough?" he said. And walked back to the line.

Millian sat at his desk, slowly counting down the seconds until Armageddon. While he was counting couldn't help think that maybe releasing the Supernaughts might actually be a bit too much.

But then he remembered what that cloaked idiot said before leaving. "You think your monstrous pets are too much for them? That may be true but Destiny and Fate have even tougher challenges for them. You'll have to beat the sh-- out of them, tease them some rest, and beat them again. It'll be all the worse for them if you don't."

He swore under his breath, he cursed his life and the events that made it what it was. He played the part of uncaring devil; he secretly used Militrix to target people, and stole them away and inflicted painful tests upon them. Millian cried in his heart for the lives he wasted, he cried in his heart that this was the only way, he cried in his heart that some his employees were actually the heartless monsters he was pretending to be.

Millian stopped counting, he made his heart suck it up and hardened his resolve, if what was about to happen, happened then---- No he would not think about. Millian leaned for ward and pressed an intercom button "Super-cell override code Gamma-beta-zeta, Inhibiter Protocol........" he stopped "Release test subject inhibiters, all."

He leaned back and closed his eyes as red lights when up and a siren alarm sounded. Millian had opened the Supernaughts cages and given the test subjects the tools to fight them.

God help them
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All right now Animals, you got your weapons now--------" Adrian was cut off in mid-sentence when the alarms when up.

His face and James turned into that of absolute terror; Adrian just froze too scarred to act. James looked around at the others, faces filled with confusion, fear, and excitement. Well, one had excitement. James called for silence; among the Subjects when they settled down he gave them this message.

"Look people, I know you are confused and frightened but I'll need you to stay with me. Right now a few floors both above and below creatures codenamed Supernaughts have escaped confinement. They are hunger incarnate and will destroy anything to get to meat. Guards will be busy with those monsters so now is the perfect time to escape!"

"Escape!" yelled Adrian "Like crap you----" Adrian fell forward, his declaration stopped by a stun-blast from a small pistol James pulled on him.

"Someone carry him, I'm getting you out."

As Fox hefted Adrian over his shoulder he said “Well look at who finally grew a pair! Come on guys lets get out of here.”

((So it took so long. -MGT))
