"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Lighthalzen Laboratory grand opening" A man in a lab coat announced, it was the opening day of an underground lab, a lab directly under the Rekenbar Corp. building. People from all over the city, a bunch from Yuno, and a group from Einbroch, as well as adventurers from the Rune-Midgard Kingdom, mostly Alchemists and Biochemists. There were Pronteran Knights as well, helping the Lighthalzen guards keeping out any thieves, they had more experience with the Morrocan Thief guild, but the Crusaders had refused to come, along with the members of the Church, they wanted nothing to do with the scientists of the Schaltzvard Republic or the Al De Baran Alchemist Guild. Food was served on a luxurious dining room. None of the guests believed it was a lab, it looked more like and underground mansion. "Before we eat", the man continued "I'm sure you will wish to see the rest of the lab" He said, and lead the guests deeper into the lab where it slowly faded from a luxurious mansion to a form of study, there were rooms with desks and chalk boards, a school type room with a stair case style row of long benches a desk in front of it, much like a college. "Here we will teach any students who show the capabilities of being a scientist, much like the Sage Academy in Yuno" the man said looking towards a group of sages from Yuno, one being a Scholar, and lead them away. Finally it began to look like a lab as they reached what looked like an environmental room. "Here we will be able to monitor monsters in there own environment" the man said and lead away from the room and to bunch of dorm rooms. "Here students will stay should they wish to live on School grounds" the man said and lead them to a stair case. As they descended it began to really look like a Lab, Testing rooms could be found all over. "Here the main experiments will take place, underneath the academy above" The man said, gesturing to the upper floor and lead them to a long room with beds on the edges. "Here any scientist working on a top priority experiment may stay for the night, should they realize something in the middle of the night and not have to run all the way down here, and worry about leaving there I.D. at home in there urgent rush and unfortunately forget there reason for even rushing down here" the man said making a lame joke and lead the way back to the upper floor and the dining room, purposely avoiding the third floor, dismissing it as a storage room when a nosey Payonese Archer asked about it. The man had made a mental note to take that one when it was time, simply because he could have ruined everything with that question. As the scientists and the guests began eating, the Archer snuck off and met up with a young Morrocan Thief. "Hi, Wik" he said as they walked towards the storage room. "Hello Kav" she replied and headed to the storage room, avoiding any of the Lighthalzen guards. "They look like firemen" the boy said and they reached the door to the storage room. "I saw you sneaking around earlier, trying to steel something?" Kav asked, wondering how she managed to get past both, the Lighthalzen Firemen looking guards, and the Pronteran Knights. "You got it" Wik replied sneaking in and screamed before she could stop herself. "What is it?" Kav shouted looking in and went pale. A mage was strapped to a large metal table and two scientist were doing something to him while he struggled and screamed, his face twisted in pain. "Get them!" a Scientist yelled and a guard grabbed Kav under the arms while another reached for Wik but she was gone in an instant. "What the hell?" the man asked bewildered then shouted in pain and surprise as she reappeared in the same place and stabbed him with a dagger dripping with venom. Wik then dashed for the one holding Kav when a two handed sword swung past her face, she had barely managed to backslide in time. "Why are you attacking me?" Wik shouted at a swordsman girl in confusion, then dodged another attack then stabbed at the girl but missed and took a blow in the side of her head from the hilt of the swordsman's sword and fell unconscious. The swordsman girl had bashed Wik in the head, knocking her out and the guards dragged her onto another table, right next to the table Kav was being strapped to. An Acolyte walked next to the swordsman, watching passively, the guests upstairs completely unaware of the twisted experiments bellow.
