Chapter 2: Aura Bonding
At the middle of the night, the kids were sleeping. Vida was checking her bullets in her pistol. They'll reach the mines in two days since it's a long drive. Vida sighs and looks at the sleeping kids and wondered about their futures of them being involved with her being a huntress. Then her phone vibrates. She answered, "Hello?"
"Vida," a male computerize voice said, "I research about Perfection."
"Spill 6.9," Vida asked.
"A Bio-Chemist named Cletus Poffenberger and some other scientists were making weapons during the war in Vietnam. It was hidden somewhere in the mountains. Their company is called Proudfoot. They have this chemical compound that allowed the genetic blending between different species to be possible which the scientists named Mixmaster." 6.9 explains, "The compound was truly amazing as there was nothing in the animal kingdom or even the plant kingdom for that matter that Mixmaster couldn't mix up to produce amazing and fantastic hybrid species. The only thing Mixmaster couldn't affect was humans as even the Lab had some sense of ethics."
"Is that all?" Vida asked.
"There's actually more." 6.9 said. "Rumor has it that one of the scientists kidnapped a child and tried to experiment here with Mixmaster and an unknown animal DNA."
"Oh my God…" Vida mutters, "Where's the location of the lab?"
"Searching…" 6.9 said. "Location: Unknown."
"What?"
"Even though Mixmaster was a great success however these endeavors never bore fruit as the government closed down Proudfoot's operation when it was discovered they were selling their inventions to the enemy and the lab and everything in it was either seized or destroyed. Mixmaster, or rather a barrel of it, was left behind most likely forgotten and managed to survive the lab being buried for many years."
"I see…" Vida mutters, "Thanks for the info 6.9."
"My pleasure Vida," 6.9 said before ending the call. Vida sighs as he looks at the time. It was ten pm and the kids are still sleeping. Then she felt a presence outside. She turns to the door and saw Impossible Man waving at her.
"Hi~" Impossible Man or IM sang.
Vida smiles softly before opening the door. IM enters happily, "Welcome back, IM. How was your day with the Hulks?"
"Oh it was fabulist!" IM said cheerfully, "I had a splendid time with them but I missed hanging out with the kids."
Damien woke and saw IM, "IMPY!" He grins causing the others to wake up. They were surprise to IM back. Gray was amazed to see a real life alien. He asked him thousands of questions about him. Vida notices Val looking at a distance. "Val, is there something wrong?"
Val looks at her and nodded, "I feel something on that mountain." She points at the mountain on a distance, "I could feel someone alone."
Vida looks at her and the mountain. 6.9 told her about a secret lab there. Nodding, Vida went to the drivers seat, "Kids, buckle up. We're taking a detour." The kids shrugged but nodded and sit down while buckling up. IM sits next to Rocco as Vida started the bus. "Val, tell me where you feel the presence."
Val nodded and points at her right. Vida follows her direction and drove over to an abandon gate. Val points straight a head and Vida follows Val's direction. It took a while but they reach to a mountain. Vida parks the vehicle and turns to the kids, "Stay close," Vida readied her pistol, "Who knows what creature is lurking inside."
The kids nodded and got up. Val took out a red wagon under the seat and placed Flora the mutant plant on it as well as Monica. Vida opens the door and they all went out. They look at the rocky wall of the mountain.
"Why are we here?" Quinn asked.
"There a secret lab here." Vida said, "It's hidden in the mountain." She touched the wall and uses her sixth sense to find it. "Hmmm, it appears to be a hidden door here."
"If there's a hidden door…maybe there's a secret button that can opens it." Gray suggested.
"Or maybe there's a password." Gem suggested.
Damien waves them off, "No problem." He then spread his arms, "Open Sesame!" he yells but it didn't open, "Abracadabra!" Damien wiggled his fingers but nothing happens. Damien yelled out, "Shamalamadingdong!"
The others minus IM stared at him blankly/strangely. Quinn sighs in annoyance and Gem rolled her eyes as Damien continues, "Make a mecha hi mekka hiney hiney ho!" Damien then did jazz-hands, "Comecomecome Ilya!" The door still didn't open as he did another on while doing a goofy dance, "I want a little wop wop bamboo!" Again, the door still didn't open. He turns to his friends and shrugs, "I got nothing."
"Of course you don't." Gem mutters out. "And where did you learn those ridicules passwords?"
Damien glanced around before saying, "The Internet." Gem face palm in annoyance.
Val was tapping at the walls with her little fist. The others were trying to find a way to get inside. When Val touched it, her sapphire blue eyes flashed into gold for a few seconds before returning back to normal. A small spark came out and the ground started to shake. Everyone braised themselves as the wall started to open like an elevator's door. As it opens, everyone was surprise to see that.
"Didn't see that coming," Vida said. "Stay close to me." She readied her pistol as she turns on a flashlight. They went inside the dark spooky lab. Val pulls the wagon with Flora on it and Pluto. Celestia follows besides Val with Cuddles. Rocco was riding on Damien's shoulder as they walk close with Vida.
"Man, it's so dark in here." Damien said. "Hey, Aggie, do a spell that can make the room brighter."
"Can't," Aggie said, "A'm still learning the basic."
Then Val suddenly trips and her hands sparked on the ground causing the lab's lights to turn on. Everyone was surprise to see the lights open. "Wow that was weird." Damien mutters. Val stood up dusting her hands clean.
"Let's find some clues in this old lab." Vida said.
The kids nodded and search the old lab. They found scattered papers on the floor and some broken lab equipment. Damien picks up a paper and saw picture of a deer mixed with a snake, "This is like a science horror movie where bunch of kids found a secret lab and got eaten by a zombie scientist and his experiments."
Val hides behind Gem with Arsenica on her shoulder as she shakes in fear. Gem gives Damien an annoyed look, "Really, Damien, really?"
Damien shrugs, "What? It's not my fault me and Rocco watched a scary movie marathon all night that Jay doesn't know about."
"Jay doesn't know that you and Rocco watched horror movies all night?" Quinn asked as she looks at some papers.
Damien grins and nodded, "Yup!"
Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzz!
Damien's phone rings. He looks at it and saw a text message. Damien reads the text and his face turned blank. "What is it?" Gray asked. Damien shows him the text and Gray reads it out loud. "Damien, I know you were watching horror movies all night with Rocco and you are grounded for one week, yours truly: Jay."
Val tilts her head, "Jay knows?"
"How does he do that?!" Damien yells with his fists in the air.
"Because he's smart," Quinn said.
As the others look around the old lab, Damien was complaining about being grounded. Val, on the other hand, was walking around while pulling her wagon with Flora on board. Celestia, Monica, Pluto and Cuddles followed her by her side. Summer flies above them as the little girl saw a metal door that is slightly open. Curios, Val went to the door, she let's go of the handle of the wagon before pushing the door. It was really hard to push so Celestia, Pluto, Monica, and Cuddles ganged up and help Val push the door open. With their combined strength, they were able to push the door open. The room was a bit dark since there was some light. Val saw some chalkboards with papers attached to them and drawings. She then saw a tube like bed. It has many cables attached to it and saw something glowing inside. Curious, Val went to it. She couldn't see it since it was too high and she was short but she did grab a nearby stool and uses it to let her see what or who was inside. Val gasps when she saw an teenage Asian girl. She has pale skin and long black hair. She wears a short sleeveless white dress. Val notices her arms and legs were coal black and she appears to have a black bone like tail with a blade. Val could tell she was still breathing since Val could see a small fog on the glass whenever she breathes.
Val turns to Summer the Phoenix, "Call the others." Summer nodded before flying back to the others. Val looks at the sleeping teenager. Even though with the arms, legs and tail was scary. The girl looks very beautiful. Summer came back with the others as they went towards Val and saw the sleeping girl.
"Those psycho son of-" Vida contains her anger before letting out a sigh, "I can't believe they did this to her."
"I know…" Damien looks at the sleeping teen, "She's hot." Everyone minus IM and Rocco looks up and turn to him. Damien looks at them, "What? She is."
"You're flirting on a girl that we just found?" Gem asked in annoyance.
"Hey, it's not my fault she's a 'Sleeping Beauty', eh, eh?" Damien spoke with a grin. The girls, minus Val, rolled their eyes before looking at the sleeping girl.
"I wonder how long she's been in there." Quinn mutters out.
"Probably years," Aggie suggested. "She's been alone here all by herself."
Val saw the label on her dress, "1R3L1A…is that her name?"
Vida looks at the label and said, "More like a code name, Val. But it does say Irelia."
Val then touched the glass as she could feel the girl's heartbeat from the outside, "She wants to be free."
"How are we going to free Irelia?" Rocco asked on Damien's shoulder.
Vida saw a computer attached to Irelia's tube bed and went over to it, "Hmm…this computer looks old. I wonder if it's still works." Vida press the tuned on button and it opens but it needs nine letters passcode, "This is going to be tricky."
"Yeah, I mean, if you were a crazy scientist, what would you write?"
Vida taps her chin and mutters out, "Scientist always wanted to make a point…" She then got the idea and smirks, "One thing that scientist like." She types in the letters E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N, "Evolution," Vida whispers out. Then the computer accepted it and opens to reveal a file of Irelia and the animal DNA that is alien.
"No way…" Vida mutters out, "Her DNA accepted Mixmaster and it was fused with-"
"Xenomorph DNA." Damien spoke in shock.
They all look at him, "You know what alien DNA it is?" Vida asked.
"Yeah, i do and Xenomorphs are the fifth deadliest alien species. They're aggressive, super strong and they are like bees, angry bees!"
"How did they get their hands on Xenomorph DNA?" Vida mutters, "And why her?"
"Can we just wake her up? I'm getting tired of this." Rocco whined. Vida gave him a death glare causing him to shrink on Damien's shoulder, "Shutting up,"
Val looks at the sleeping Irelia as she placed her hand on top of the glass. Irelia was breathing steadily as Val could hear the hybrid's heartbeat. "Can we set her free?" Val asked.
Vida looks at Val before looking at Irelia. She doesn't know whether to wake her or not since Vida doesn't trust people easily well except for best friend's friends. Vida looks at Irelia and sighs, "Okay, let's wake her up." Vida types something in the computer and saw some words and was able to open the pod. The pod slowly opens, letting out white smoke, and Irelia gasps before letting out a sigh. She slowly opens her eyes to reveal acid green eyes. She slowly sits up and slowly looks around. She saw the others and blinks at them.
"Hello," Vida spoke gently. Irelia blinks at her, "My name is Vida and you are Irelia."
"I…Ire…" Irelia tried to say her name but it ends up like a hiss.
"Okay…that didn't turn out so well." Damien said.
"Maybe she forgot how to speak." Gray said.
Vida offers her hand, "Either way, we should help her." She said before looking at Irelia, "Come with us, you'll be safe."
Irelia hesitated but when she saw the innocent looks of the kids. She accepted Vida's hand. Vida helps Irelia stand up since she has trouble walking. "IM, can you give her a wheelchair?"
IM saluted, "Aye, aye!" With a snap of his finger, a wheelchair appeared. Vida helps Irelia sit on it while avoiding her tail. Vida pushes the wheelchair as Irelia enjoyed the ride. As they made it outside, Vida left a tracking device at the door when it closes so that her people will find the lab and gather all the information that Proudfoot did. It was still night time so they can still sleep in the bus. Vida helps Irelia get up and slowly help her get in the bus. IM made the wheelchair disappeared.
Gray notices Damien wearing a wrist seismo like Jodie and Nancy have, "Damien, where's you that?"
Damien lifts his right arm and said, "From Jodie's store."
"You stole it while I wasn't looking?" Vida asked annoyed.
Damien scoffed, "No, there was no price tag so it's free." He said. "And besides, we might need it."
"For what?" Gem asked. Then there was a beep from the wrist seismo. The kids looked at each other before looking at Vida. Vida nodded and the kids get on separate rocks while Vida, Irelia and the dogs made it to the bus. IM was with Gray and Damien while Celestia, Cuddles, and Pluto went to the rock with Val who picks up Flora and Gem helps her up. Quinn and Aggie got on a different rock farther away from the others. They felt the ground shake and heard a roar from bellow.
Irelia was confused on what's happening until Vida whispers, "It's a Graboid name El Blanco and if I were you, I stay quiet." Irelia understand and slowly nodded. As El Blanco shook the ground, the kids hanged on. After a few seconds, the ground stops shaking. Everyone thought it was over but when Damien was about to get off until Flora fires a single bullet seed on the ground and suddenly three tentacles with mouths appeared and Damien withdraws himself from the ground.
"He's still here!" Damien yells as he and Gray backs away from the ground. Aggie hugs Quinn as the blonde girl summons an orange sword with her bracelet. Val hugs Flora's pot as the mutant plant hissed. Pluto and Cuddles hide behind Clelestia as the baby dragon hissed at the tentacles. Monica and Arsenica were perched on Gem's shoulder. They watched as the tentacles searched for something before returning back to ground.
"How are we going back in the bus?" Gray asked.
"I know!" Damien got an idea, "Aggie, use your transport spell and take us back to the bus."
"A can't!" Aggie said, "A hae to dae it one at a time and it'll cause vibration when we land on the bus."
Damien groans and slumps on the rock. Val sets Flora on the flat part of the rock. "Impy, can you try and take us to the bus?" Gray asked IM.
"I wish I could but our little friend there is too close to the bus." IM said. Damien groans again as buries his head with his hands. Val blinks at them before she sits on the rock and looks at the sand. She could feel El Blanco from the sand, waiting for them to move. Celestia nudges Val's arm and lets out a cute chirp, saying she was hungry. Val grabs her satchel and took out a bag of beef jerky. She feeds Celestia beef jerky and the little dragon eats happily. Then a piece of jerky fell on the sand and a tentacle got it and brought it down. Val and Celestia saw this and the little girl drops another piece. Val and Celestia watched as the tentacle mouth grabs another jerky and brings it down. Giggling, Val drops another jerky and it grabbed it again. Val watched as the tentacle mouth came out again, expecting for more. Val slowly puts the jerky on his tentacle mouth and let go when the tentacle mouth grabbed it before going back down. Val then saw the tentacle mouth popping back up but it was close. Val was curious on what's going on but she could feel something about El Blanco. Val slowly hover her hand above the tentacle mouth and slowly pets it. She felt the tentacle stiff for a second but soon calms down as Val continues to stroke it. Val could feel the tentacle's sticky saliva. She withdraws her hand as the tentacle retreats back to the ground. Val backs away a bit and watched as El Blanco brought his head up and lies himself down.
His action causes Rocco to scream like a little girl and jumps at IM's arms. The kids backed away while Val stayed put and looks at El Blanco. Then she was in a dark void of space with no stars or planets just El Blanco who was covered by a red aura while Val's aura is blue mixed with gold. Val could her El Blanco's heartbeats as she looks at him and whispers in her mind, "We don't want any trouble we want to. Please let us go."
El Blanco, surprisingly, understands. His aura turns into a light blue meaning he is calm. Val was back in reality as she looks at El Blanco's calm form. Val turns to her friends, "It's safe." Val said. Her friends didn't believe it's safe since there was a giant worm in front of them. Val decided to show them. She steps on the ground before Gem could even get her. El Blanco didn't move a muscle as Val picks up Flora and gestured her little friends to get off the rock, "Come on." Celestia, Cuddles and Pluto jumped off of the rock and went to Val's side. El Blanco still didn't move.
The kids slowly went off of the rocks and slowly went to the bus. Vida opens the door as the kids went inside quickly. Val puts Flora on her wagon and pulls it to bus before she waves at El Blanco. Surprisingly, El Blanco uses on of his tentacles to save back before going back to the ground. Gem helps her cousin to bring the wagon inside while Val holds Flora. Vida closes the door before starting the engine and drives away. Val sits down with Summer and Chloe. Quinn was behind them with Aggie as the blonde girl said, "How did you do that Val?"
"Aye, it's like ye were talking him telepathically." Aggie added.
Val shrugs, "I don't know, I felt like I was in a dark place with me and El Blanco only. I was covered in a blue and gold light while El Blanco's was red before turning light blue."
Vida heard this and glanced at the mirror to look at Val, "Did you hear his heartbeat?"
Val nodded, "Uh-huh, it's like I could understand him and he understand me," Val looks at the huntress, "Vida, do you know what that was?"
Vida looks at the road as she drives, "Yes, it's a rare ability called Aura Bonding."
"Aura Bonding?" Gray asked, "What's that?"
"It's an ability that can calm anyone who has uncontrollable rage. The one with Aura Bonding can see the aura and hear the heartbeats of the other. He or she can calm the angry aura with words, reasoning or song. Only few people who has it and Val is one of them."
"Gem can talk and understand animals, how come she doesn't have it?" Gray asked.
"Gem gets her powers by the necklace and the necklace cannot do the aura bonding. Aura Bonding is born during a full silver moon, which only appears every two years."
"Wow that sounds awesome!" Damien grins.
Vida said, "It can be but Aura Bonding takes time to master and it can be very dangerous if not properly use."
Val looks at Vida, "Do you know someone with this ability?"
"Sorry, Val, but it is classified information." Vida said, "Just rest, it's a long way to the mine." Everyone nodded and went to sleep. Irelia didn't sleep. She just looks at the window in awe.
Next part is the Shriekers! I'll post it soon and Gabriel in Mira the Quick, Devil's Chick93 and I made already an Oc boyfriend and he's hybrid.
Irelia's voice actress: Megumi Nakajima
