Hey guys! I decided to write this story and I really hope you enjoy it! It's an AU so a few characters might act slightly different than they usually would. The beginning might be a little confusing but it will be made clear later on in the Story. So let's start

The alarm went off. I pushed open the door and ran as fast as I could. The guards were trying to follow me but luckily I had a headstart, so they wouldn't reach me within the next few minutes.
"Do not let him escape!!" I heard them scream almost catching up as I reached the exit. The doors flew open and the elelectric fence came into vision.
"HURRY YOU FOOLS!!" The fence! Great! Now there is no way to get out anymore ... unless ... I remembered the file in that horrible room 'Abbility: Fire' maybe there was a way out!
They couldn't get through the fire, they just couldn't! I started running again until I ended up near a few houses. I was right in front of a doorstep when all the energy left me and I fell to the ground. Then everything went black.

Lloyd's POV
"Get up kid it's time" the door to my room opened and I opened my eyes slowly, as soon as everything was focused I rose to my feet and walked over to the guards. This was a usual day in my life: Waking up, running tests, going back to my room, eating food, more tests, dinner and going to sleep.
That meant now we were going to run some test again. The Hallway was completly white and empty, you always heard the echo of your footsteps and it freaks me out.
There was the door to the lab, another cold and white room but I've been there a lot and it seems to bother me less over time. "Get inside already" the guard on my left pushed me through the door. They never used my name for anything they either call me something like 'kid' or 'child' or dont bother to say anything at all. I hated that but I learned a long time ago that you better not talk back nor complain.
As soon as I entered a doctor came in as well. "Good morning" he said and I replied "Hello". Talking much isnt really a thing I like because those people here always seem odd, I dont know why though.
The test were simple: I get a few pictures and I have to say what it was, most things were easy at first but I just can't reconise a lot of what they show me now. "What is this?" the picture showed a small animal that I reconised as "Squirrel". The doctor wrote some notes down and looked at me with a fake smile, I could tell it was fake because no one in this place smiled friendly. Ever. "Alright now I will give you the normal dosis okay?" He walked away to get a syringe, the dosis he meant was a clear liquid I got everyday. After a while I forgot what it was for and never bothered to ask again.
It never hurt, my arm was used to it by now. After that was done the two guards came in and we walked back to my room. Just before I wanted to enter I saw another person walking with two guards. Another person! I can't believe it! Someone that was not a guard or a doctor! He had redish-brown hair and wore a blue and white striped shirt. Thats all I could see before I was forcefully pushed back into my room.
"You will recieve your food soon" I nodded as a response and sat down on a small bed I had. My room was really empty to be honest. I had a small bed a sink to wash myself and a small table with a chair next to it. The room was, just like everything else, white. The door next to my bed let to a small bathroom that was currently locked.
About 10 minutes later, I had to guess, I had no clock, my food was brought in and they unlocked the bathroom door so I could take a shower after finishing my food. I dont know what my food was but I ate it anyway. Food never tasted good here, I dont even know if you can call it taste because it didnt really 'taste' at all.
When the second tests were over and I ate my dinner I went to bed. Something kept bothering me, I wondered who that person was and what they were doing to him, maybe the same weird test they did with me? Suddenly a wave of nausea hit me and I passed out.
The next morning was the same as yesterday but my head felt really dizzy and I dont know what happened last night. "Ah, hello kid" There we go again ... The doctor was the same one I had before. "Did you feel dizzy yesterday?" Yes, yes I DID!! I wanted to scream but I rather said "Maybe" I hate talking to those people. "Yes, I gave you a bit more dosis than you would usually get" Wait what?? I am starting to get the feeling something is really odd. Also I dont want to get that overdosis ever again.
"Let's continue with the pictures" the picture was showing a small animal and I swear it was the exact same from yesterday but I couldn't remember its name! I just can't! "I- I don't know" I whispered and the doctor wrote a few notes down. "Alright let's give you the normal dosis again" he was going to get the syringe but forgot something important on the desk beside me. I quickly took it and hid it in my pocket. He came back and gave me the weird liquid without seeing his important item gone.
As soon as I was alone in my room again I decided what to do: I was going to break out and by any chanche take the person I saw a while ago with me. Maybe he knows what they are doing with these tests. And I know exactly how to get out of here ... The thing laying on the doctors desk was my ticket to Freedom: Keys
The guards left quite a while ago, which meant my plan started now. I used the keys to unlock my door and quickly peeked around the corner, if any guards were here. I silently made my way through the hallway, as footsteps echoed nearby. I entered the next room and closed the door again.
I turned around and saw at least 50 computers with different files on it, above each one a number. I randomly started to read one: Number 16
Name: Jay Walker
Age: 18
Abillitys: Lightning
Memory: almost erased
Training: not started
Important: Escape 21 seemed to have retrieved memorys; process restarted
I am so confused!! What is this all about?! Are they removing peoples memories? Thats probably what that liquid is for, the pictures are testing our memory! I have to find my own file. I tried to find a number that might fit, I scanned the files until I reconised a number that was written above my room: Number 43
Name: Lloyd GarmadonAge: 11Abillitys: UnknownMemory: half erasedTraining: not startedImportant: Will be tested on powers 3 times; 2/3 doneMy name ... Lloyd. I can't believe it! I remember now! My name those weird test, my-my family!! I want to leave! Right now! I rushed through the room "24, 23, 22, 21" I counted down while walking towards the door. "Wait! 21? Didnt it say something weird about that Person?" I stopped and read the file.
Important: Escaped while check upStatus: NOT FOUNDAbillitys: FireWhen Found: Earse memory, bring back, DO NOT let escape againWow someone escaped already?! I have to hurry now. I rushed out the door and through the exit, the guards started to realise what happened and ran towards me. I saw a fence and quickly jumped on it starting to climb up. The electric shots hurt but I didnt care anymore. I jumped down on the other side and the guards tried to follow me.
I ran, sirens behind me and cars starting to race towards me. After a couple of minutes they came dangerously close so I ran towards a village where they needed to stop the car because the gate was to small. I knocked on the nearest door possible and a man opened. "What are you doing here in the middle of the-" I cut him of scared: "Please let me in I have to hide before they catch me!!" The man looked confused. "Why would I ..." he eventually saw the men getting out of the cars "Come in hurry!" He stepped aside and I rushed inside. "Hide in that room and dont come out until I tell you to. Got it?" I nodded and ran into the room.
The door was closed but I looked through the keyhole and heard knocking on the door again. The man, who let me in, opened the door again. "Can I help you with something?" , he sounded annoyed. The guards didn't seem to notice "Have you seen a small kid running by?" I was scared that he would tell them that I was hiding here. "No, but if he's running from you, he probably ran into the woods, don't you think?" I sighed in relief but held my hands over my mouth short after. I dont want them to find me! "Alright, good night Sir" They were leaving! Finally!
"Wait do I know you?" Suddenly one guard came closer to him and he quickly shook his head. "No you don't and now I would like to go to sleep if you dont mind, it's past midnight!" He tried hard not to yell, but gritted his teeth anyway. "Ah, yes excuse me" Then they left and the man closed his door.
"You can come out now" I slowly opened the door again and finally saw how he actually looked like. He had spikey brown hair and light brown eyes. On his left eyebrow he had a scar. "What's your name kid?" Oh yeah my name ... "I am Lloyd, Lloyd Garmadon" When I said my last name his eyes widened in shock "Garmadon?! Wait ... I think I know your family" My family!! I was so happy! I want to see them again so badly! "Can you take me to them please?!" I just remembered that I never knew his name so I asked. "Im Kai, let's take you to your family tomorrow alright? You should get some sleep first" I agreed and he showed me a room were I could stay. And tomorrow I would finally see my family again, this night I slept great.
Thats it for the first chapter, also I am sorry for grammar mistakes, English is not my first language. Hope you like it anyways!
