Okay, remember that promise I made a few chapters ago? The one about stuff blowing up? Well, I hope what's to come will satiate your thirst for blood dear readers. (But, it might not be as blow upey)

May the odds be ever in your favor!

The Xeno:

Dr. Nina Frey stood in a white room. Nina was a slender woman in her forties, with black hair and piercing green eyes. Along the center of the room ran a long conference table surrounded by men and women. Some wore the long jackets of scientists, some the fine fashions of the elite, and some the uniforms of the military and government.

Nina sat down at the head of the table, across from Aaron Fleck. She started.

"Hello. For those who are new, I am Supreme Director Nina Frey. Across from me is Director Aaron Fleck. Thank you for coming, please enjoy the champagne."

Four of the fifteen people at the table took drinks of their glass. A minute later they were dead. The rest had been informed of the poison by Nina, and the ones who hadn't were traitors. Erasers entered the room and took away the bodies. Nina smiled and resumed talking.

"Now that's out of the way, let's begin. We are a group dedicated to the betterment of humanity and creating weapons of war. We are currently focusing on DNA hybridization. Bring in number Fifteen."

A small girl stepped in, her raven curls falling around a sweet and innocent face. She was around eight, and was wearing a long hospital gown. She spread long brown and white flecked wings.

"Fifteen is two percent avian (song sparrow). She can fly, is very strong, smart, and has extremely high endurance. We've also been working on unlocking parts of the brain, allowing the use of "abilities". Fifteen, please show them."

The girl raised her hand, and slowly the table rose with it. She set it down. Next she raised both her arms, and her eyes glowed blue. A orb of blue light surrounded her, and she sat down. A guard pulled a gun and shot at her. The bullet touched the light, and disintegrated. Nina smiled.

"Fifteen can create a force field strong enough to hold two hundred pounds of weight and is able to charge the force field with enough kinetic energy to destroy almost anything. Take her away, and bring out One."

The Eraser nodded, their eyes slightly lighting up with fear, and exited. Small gasps drifted through the air, most of the tables inhabitants eyes widening. A figure stepped into the room, towering above the group. It was giant, around eight feet tall, and had off-white skin, and beady black eyes. It appeared to be male, and wore a large hospital robe like thing (Number One was so large that they had to stitch together multiple gowns to create one that fit). Nina nodded to Aaron, and he took over.

"One is what we call a meta human. He is not from a donated egg, but was purely grown from a few samples of dna. One is able to lift up to twenty thousand pounds of weight, and is a literal juggernaut. He also is highly intelligent. Plus, One is virtually emotionless, allowing him to complete missions a normal soldier would hide in fear from. As you may have heard, we recently had a breakout. Why we invited you here, is because we have a proposal. In the group of escapees, are two very valuable pieces of property. Bring them back, and we will reward you with One, Fifteen, and a parcel of twenty Erasers."

The crowd muttered and took their notes, some pulling out small laptops and writing. Nina smirked, laughing in her head at the gullibility of the people at the table. None of them realized that there would be no reward, and that they would just be doing the dirty work for her, and that their "reward" would be an unmarked grave in the forest (One and Fifteen were Nina's property, and Nina had never liked sharing).

She smiled and raised her hands with a flourish, bowing quickly.

"May the hunt begin!"

Phoenix's P.O.V

I woke up suddenly, the sound of footsteps ringing in my ears. I bolted up, ready to fight. A boy stood at the edge of the small meadow they were resting in, the rising sun illuminating his bruised face. He spoke, a pained voice ringing out.

"Help me. Please."

Then he collapsed. I rushed over, seeing the blood seeping through his gray shirt. As I lifted his shirt to try to find his wound, I noticed something. He was one of us. Large leathery bat-like wings protruded from his back. I yelled, waking up Six, who ran over.

"What's going on? Why the hell did you wak-, oh, it's a person."

"Yes, it's a person. Obviously. He's hurt, bad, and I need your help. He's one of us."

"Okay. Move, I need to find the wound."

I scooted to the side, and watched as Six searched. Eventually she found it. A long cut trailed across his stomach, leaking blood. Six grabbed a bottle of water and washed the wound, then grabbed two smaller bottles.

"What are those Six?"

"Ones rubbing alcohol I swiped from the house, and the others spit."

"Oh."

First she poured a small amount of the alcohol on it, the boy squirming but not waking up. Then she poured some of the saliva over the gash. I winced as the wound sealed, his breathing evening out.

"Don't you ever get grossed out watching it heal and stuff?"

"Nah, not really. I've seen so much blood in my life that it doesn't weird me out. One time Nine sliced his hand open by accident, and it bled so much."

I shrugged and looked over at the boy. He had straight black hair to his shoulders, and dark olive skin. He probably had a thirteen foot wing span. He was around 5'5", and had a long pale scar on his left forearm. I was about to go wake up the rest of the group when I saw his tail. It was like a cheetahs, but halfway down was bent awkwardly. I showed Six, who went to work.

I woke up Nine and Dre, and I settled back in bed.

?'s P.O.V

I ran through the forest, the pain getting stronger, my vision blurring. Just a bit further, I told myself. Then through the trees I saw a clearing. As I came to the edge, a blond boy stood up. I yelled to him, using the last of my energy.

"Help me. Please."

Then it faded to black.

I woke up later, the pain in my stomach gone. A girl sat next to me, curly black hair falling around her pale face, and she had a interesting silver streak in her hair. She had deep gray eyes. She smiled, and spoke.

"Your awake! Here, drink some water." She held up a small water bottle, and gave it to me. I drank eagerly, the water soothing my parched throat.

"Who are you?"

"My name's Six."

"I'm Silas."

"Nice to meet you Silas. Don't worry, were alike."

She spread pale gray wings, the feathers edged in black, creating a scalloped effect. I gasped with joy, I had found others like me! I looked around, noticing the others. Six motioned for them to come over.

"This is Ash, Nine, Noreen, Dre, Phoenix, and Albany." She pointed to each of them, saying their names.

"Hi, I'm Silas. When did you guys escape from the School?"

Nine tilted his head, confused

"What do you mean, the School? We escaped from the Xeno."

"What? Your not from the School? What's the Xeno?"

"Its where a bunch of scientists do terrible experiments, and its where a lot of hybrids are."

"Wait, I remember reading in a file about the Xeno. It's the Schools top competitor"

"Interesting. Who was the main white-coat?"

"Jeb Batchleder. He's a terrible person. He gave his own children to be experimented on."

"Ours was Aaron Fleck. He's Nine's and Noreen's dad. I don't know if he's evil, or just a delusional megalomaniac."

I yawned, getting sleepy. I had lost a lot of blood, and needed to rest. My eyelids fluttered as I struggled to stay awake. Six told me to rest, and that she would wake me up in a while. I was about to fall asleep when I remembered.

"No! We have to go, now! There were Erasers chasing me, and they'll be here any moment now!"

Then Dre yelled.

"Guys! We got company. Get up and go!"

I sat up, my feline ears alert. I swung my head to the right, a slight sound bouncing in my ears. A twig snapped, and it began.

Fourteen Erasers poured from the trees, already fully morphed. I leaped to my feet, and joined the others, who were standing in a small circle, back to back. Phoenix and Ash raised their hand, fire dancing across their palms and fingers. Dre reached down at her feet, and shockingly, pulled away part of her shadow, forming a wicked black sword. She made two and hardened them, passing one to Albany.

Noreen dropped her left hand to her waist, and pulled out three knives from a pouch. Six shifted her feet, sliding into a fighting stance. I gasped when Nine transformed, turning into a giant red wolf. I readied myself, my fingernails lengthening into razor sharp claws.

The Erasers came at us, drool dripping from their toothy maws. I slashed at the one closest to me, slicing through their shoulder. Fire and bullets flew through the air, and blood fell upon the dew heavy grass. Soon we had brought the Erasers down to eight, but not without pain. Nine was limping, and had reverted to his normal body. Ash was laying unconscious on the ground, Albany and Dre guarding her.

Then a strange hum started, the sound getting louder by the second. We all looked up at the approaching helicopter. It was one of those military ones, and it had Xeno printed on the side. As it lowered down to land, Albany yelled to the rest of us to come to her.

Once we were with her she spoke.

"We have to go, now. Six, Silas, and me can fly. But, you guys can't. Nine, I need you to turn into a horse. You'll have to carry Phoenix, Dre, and Noreen. I can carry Ash."

Nine shifted into a large red-brown horse, and Phoenix and Dre got on him. Albany told them to go west, and that we would be right above them. I spread my wings, stretching them out. I took a running start and kept into the air, Albany and Six right behind.

The wind whistled through my hair, and we flew, the rising Sun at our back. Every now and then I would look back, checking on the others. After about ten minutes I looked back, seeing Six and Albany looking extremely tired. I was about to ask them if they needed to rest, when gunshots started ringing out.

I spun around, trying to see who it was. Then out of the clouds swooped twelve winged Erasers.

Six's P.O.V

I was tired, so tired. I willed my weary wings to flap, and hoped that I wouldn't fall from the sky. This was the longest I had ever flew, and it was exhausting. But, it being my crazy life, stuff just got worse.

Gunshots rang out, and I turned to see twelve flying Erasers drop down from the clouds. Great, the Xeno decides that my life didn't suck enough already, so they make freaking flying monkeys (well, more of flying wolf people). I grimaced, my wings aching, making me want to drop out of this god-damned frozen sky. I swung around, my feet swinging into an Erasers stomach. He doubled over, dropping down to the forest below.

Silas punched one right between his wings, and the Eraser also dropped. I flew over to Albany, and tried to guard her. She was carrying Ash, and wasn't able to fight. I held off the Erasers for a little while, but soon it was to much.

My mind was separated between fighting, flying, and a ton of stress. I felt a vision coming on (they seem to pop up more in times of stress, so basically at the worst possible times.) Everything went black, and I fell. The last thing I remember was an Eraser grabbing me, and seeing more grab Albany and Ash out of the corner of my eye. Then I slipped away.

Nine's P.O.V

We had stopped when I heard Six scream. We looked up to see them surrounded by Erasers. Six started to drop, and an Eraser caught her. They rounded up Silas and Albany (who had Ash), and flew down back to where the helicopter had landed. A few minutes later I saw the helicopter fly off.

I shifted back to myself, falling to my knees. They had taken them. Tears beaded in my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. They had taken her. Noreen came over to me, her ginger hair flopping in her eyes, and knelt next to me, placing her hand on my shoulder.

"We'll get them back Nine. No matter what, even if we die trying. We can't give up, we're strong. We're a Family, and nothing will pull us apart. Now get up and let's go, let's get them back. We'll get her back."

I nodded and stood.

"Come on guys, we got a plan to make, and some Xeno jerks to beat up. Let's get our family back."

So, there wasn't much blood, but we got some drama. What did Six see? Can they save them? And what is the Xeno planning? Find all the answers next time! Thanks for reading! (God, I sound like a commercial)

The S.Y.O.C is still open, but some male or bi/lesbian/trans people would be great. I seem to have a abundance of girls (I know, you can't help it, being that we are awesome).

See you awesome nerds next time!
