Chapter Nine
Eight
"So we all know why we are here right?" Kurt asked once everyone was in the rec room.
"I am here to help avenge my parents," Lix responded.
"Hello there Ms. Lix," commented a man new to the experiments, he was presumably Hugo. "I am Hugo von Darke. I am sorry that I didn't do that good of a job at protecting your parents."
"You kept us alive long enough Hugo," Lix thanked him.
"Yes about your parents," Kurt stated. "When I had told them about the experiment's return they were overjoyed. So overjoyed in fact that your mother gave me something that has been passed down in your family since you ancestors who fought in the secret war." Kurt presented it to her. It was just a normal ballpoint pen.
"It is just a normal pen," Lix commented on it.
"Uncap it," B.W. explained. Lix did so and it turn from an unassuming ballpoint pen, into a glowing sword.
"Woah!" she exclaimed.
"If you lose it will return to your pocket in pen form," Kurt explained. "Also by placing the cap on the hilt it turns into an uncapped pen."
"What does this inscription say?" Lix asked.
"Παλίρροια," Kurt replied. Upon seeing her confused look he elaborated further, "It means Riptide in Greek. It was your male ancestor's from your mother's side, and before that it was Poseidon's."
"Why did they give it to you though?" Seven asked. "Why not just give it straight to Lix?"
"Great questions," Tri replied. "Well from what they told us, they had a feeling that they wouldn't have a chance to give it to her."
Kurt then pressed a finger up to his ear. "Amazing and Battlefront just told me that they were done scouting the area where you guys were briefly trapped," he told them. "It is 100% connected to the Labyrinth. They also said that von Light's stench was everywhere around the area. They are taking first shift of watching that place. Tri and Black Op you two will take the next shift in about two hours."
"You got it Kurt," Black Op replied in his monotone voice.
"Porfirio I want you to go to the med bay. The doctor bots are waiting for you," Kurt commanded.
"Okay," Porfirio responded. "Embry can you help me there."
"Sure," Embry responded.
"Okay I want the rest of you to go train," Kurt commanded. "Grant, you and I are going down to the lab."
"Why?" Grant asked.
"Eli's ramblings have gotten worse," Kurt explained. "We need to help him before he goes into complete madness. Also this potion should help Tac control her giggling."
"Finally!" the other experiments exclaimed.
Side Note: Eli is based on one of my real life friends. Amazing and Battlefront are two of my friends from Youtube/Twitch. Check out their channels at Amazinguy123 and Battlefront_Network respectively. Also Hugo doesn't get a character profile because his backstory ends up being fleshed out eventually.
