Fire glared at the door in front of her. She snarled and rammed into it. The metal bent slightly, but didn't budge. The wolf girl howled in protest before walking backward a small distance and kicking it. The door bent more but still didn't move.
Finally, the guards came running and foolishly opened the door. She grinned as she ran forward and smoothly slit their throats, "Thanks boys." Fire said cheekily, giving their dying bodies a salute. The crazed wolf girl ran down unfamiliar hallways until she ran into a lab. On the wall at the back was a tube filled with weird liquid, but it was a dead end.
"Shit...I knew I should've taken that turn at-" she cut herself off when she saw what was in the tube. It was a woman, pale skin shining in the lit up ice blue liquid, long black hair floating around her and wearing a black jumpsuit like herself, only instead of blood red circles and lines, the designs were a dark blue.
Fire's ear flicked when the thundering of feet echoed down the hall. The black flamed wolf hybrid looked back at the tube with a shrug, "Worth a shot." She reeled her fist back and punched the glass causing it to shatter in to a thousand pieces.
The woman came out of the tube with the liquid, coughing and sputtering as she came out of stasis. She opened bleary sapphire blue eyes and seen the red headed woman, with the same black jumpsuit she wore, signaling that she was a part of the so called 'volunteers' as the madmen liked to call them. She took in a breath, pushing herself onto her knees with her wavy black hair framing her shoulders and arms before give the standing woman a cautious look.
"Who are you?" She asks, her voice rough from disuse.
Fire snorted, "Hello to you too." She held out a gold clawed hand, "Name's Fire Wolf. Who are you?" She snarled harshly.
The girl narrowed eyes, not caring for Fire Wolf's attitude before snorting, "The mad scientists call me Project Moon, but I prefer Luna." Luna finally becomes alert enough to notice the two dead guards and the blaring alarm, smirking slightly as she asks, her voice smoothing out, "You must be a trouble maker huh?"
The wolf girl in question gasped in fake offense, "Me? Never." She waved the hand she used to slit the men's throats in dismissal, the blood easy to see. "They called me Project Wolf, by the way." She huffed, "So original."
Luna laughed a little before it turned into a hacking cough, her throat still rusty from not talking for so long. When the cough goes away, she noticed voices coming closer to the room and grinned, a dangerous gleam entering her eyes as she stands up.
"It's been a long time since I was able to have any real fun," The air crackled and her blue eyes turned solid white, both women's hair whipping with the energy Luna was giving off. "What do you say we have a 'girls night', I've wanted so desperately to have one, since I came here five years ago," She turned her grin on Fire, a sharp edge to it as she says, "Let's show these fools a good time shall we?"
The wolf girl grins, baring her razor sharp teeth as her eyes turn completely red, "Oh, I've been waiting for a night like this." She stretched her arms and back as her flames flared up while ice crackled in the air around her. With a content sigh and a few cracks of her back she smirked slyly, "I wanna go first."
Luna nods as white energy surrounds her hands, returning Fire's look as two men appear in the door way guns raised, "You have freed me from my sleep, it is only right that you do. Just make sure you leave some for me, I have my own vendetta to complete after all."
Fire laughed sharply, "Get in line. I've been here for two years longer than you." The guards held up their weapons, but the wolf girl just calmly walked to them, "Hi!" She said cheerfully. Her tail moved with her hips and when she was halfway to them they shot her. Luna's eyes widened slightly but she didn't move from her spot as the guns turned to her. The wolf girl stumbled, holding the wound in her stomach with a grin, "Wait!"
All eyes turned to her, "Who said I was done?" She snarled lowly, her eyes turning a darker red. Fire laughed, throwing her head back, "This is our night!" She looked at them with twisted amusement as icicles shot out of the ground the turned them into living shish kabobs. "You didn't play fair."
Luna snorts, walking over to the door and checking for more guards, "This place is too cramped, lets go somewhere with a bigger stage shall we?" She glances back at Fire and grins, trying to pull off innocent but ending up looking savage and a little crazy.
The wolf girl smirked back, "I think I might know just the place." She scratched the back of her head, "Well, I might know. They recently changed my cell because of my 'good behavior'." Fire used air quotes around the last part with an indignant snort.
Luna chuckles and steps out of the way, "Lead on."
The wolf girl cracked her neck and walked out the door, going down on all fours, "Can you keep up?" She asked, glancing up at Luna.
Luna smirked and began levitating a couple of inches off the ground, "If I had water I'd probably be even faster, but I believe I can handle the challenge."
Fire purred lightly, "Well then..." She growled, moving her feet as she got ready to tear down the hall. "Let's go." Her legs pushed off the floor so hard and fast that it cracked. With every step the floor was set ablaze and she howled in delight. Luna zoomed after her, the wind she was creating in her wake putting out the flames. She cackled loudly, probably putting most witch's to shame as she easily caught up.
Fire glanced at her with a smile, "What's that old human saying? Run like the wind?" Her feet moved faster and she pulled ahead with a smirk. She shifted her weight and turned right, running on the wall so she wouldn't crash but wouldn't have to slow down either.
Luna cackled again and turned the corner with her, the raven catching herself just in time before she went into a wall. Along the way several more guards and a couple of scientists appeared, only for the force of Luna's flight to cut them to pieces and kill them before they knew what happened. Seeing this, Luna twirls through the air, laughing like a child who was simply playing tag on the play ground while crowing, "The sky is my home, the sea my carpet! These morons will rue the day they took the moon's sun away!"
Fire was splashed with blood during that little show, "So overdramatic! It's only been 5 years for you. Give or take a week." More people stepped out into the hall and she grinned, "My turn!" Fire swiftly flipped in the air and sent out a sharp blade of ice out before running again. It didn't seem like it had done anything. The people all stood there for a moment. Then, their heads slowly slipped off their shoulders and the bodies fell all at once.
"There! See?! Not nearly as messy!" Fire yelled, picking up even more speed and going left. "Almost there!"
"Lovely work!" Luna called back her smile widening even as she caught up to where she trailed just behind the wolf girl, "And I admit, not some of my best work, but you can't blame me when I have been forced to sleep for most the time I've been here. Unlike you, I wasn't always the best behaved when awake."
Fire nearly fell over herself laughing, "That good behavior was me stuck in a drug induced coma! When I was somewhat lucid I was too tired to do anything, let alone get up to fight." She snickered at the thought of actually being good for the mad men. "I was moved recently because they ran out of drugs to give and I kept burning them off too fast."
The wolf girl smiled devilishly, as she went faster, going straight to a metal door. "Here we go!" She rammed head first into the metal, but not a sound was made. A perfect Fire shaped hole was in the door. The wolf girl was on the floor laughing, "Oh, Xena loved cartoons, that's for sure!"
Luna gently came to a stop, eyeing the hole in the door before closing her eyes, searching. She suddenly smiled and raised her hand, and a low moaning and creaking was heard before water burst out of the wall behind her. She pulled her arm back before slashing it infront of her, the liquid following her movements and forming into a razor sharp blade and cutting into the metal door. Luna did this two more times, the metal screeching in protest before she released the power and the water blade joined the rest, the end result being a larger hole as Luna floated through.
Fire blinked and sat up. Recently hardened metal was scattered around her as she stood up and shook the still liquid metal off of her.
"Good job for making the entrance bigger, but I like my way better. It's a lot more fun and I didn't make any noise." The wolf girl smiled smugly. "You're noisy and messy. Time in the tube did wonders!"
Luna shakes her head, tilting her head and cringing. "The ocean is very seldom truly silent." She says self deprecatingly before shaking it off, "The tube did not help, I'm sure the mad doctors told you that you were to be used for war? I technically don't need to be silent, it's not in my 'programing'." She says using quotation fingers, her voice mocking.
The wolf snorted, "Yeah, I heard that." She dusted herself off, "I was made for silent kills. Covert missions and stupid shit like that."
The room they were in was the cafeteria. No one was there yet, but the wolf had a feeling that they would be soon. "Good stage, dearest Looney?" She asked with a fake accent and a bow.
Luna frowned at the nickname, pain in her eyes before it went away as quick as it came. She snickered and looked around the room, "It could be bigger." With that, her eyes glowed bright white and the room lit up. When the light disappeared, so did the tables and anything else, leaving the room bare. The roof seemed to have disappeared as well.
"Much better," She sighs, putting her hands on her hips and giving Fire a smirk. Just then, a commotion reaches their ears and Luna's grin widens, eyes becoming solid white again as energy gathers in her hands, "Let's get this show on the road shall we?" She says.
Fire snorted, her red eyes darkening, "You must have a thing for showing off, but at least you were quiet this time." The wolf girl stomped on the ground, clear ice crawling from where she stood to cover the whole floor. "I hope you know how to ice skate." She said with a cheeky grin.
Luna raised a brow as the ice covered the floor, "I can't be the only one who has a flair for the dramatic." She watched the guards come in, only for them to slip on the ice and land on their backs with yelps of surprise. "Heheh, though that right there, that was good," She said chuckling in amusement, "Now watch this!"
She summoned a gust of wind around her, a visible force swirling around her and whipping her thick black hair around like a cape, another flash of light, and a Staff made of polished black wood with a silver crescent at the top appeared in her hand. She twirled her staff and with a mighty slash, cut through the guards like paper before they could recover.
Fire snickered and rolled her eyes, "I suppose I do." Project Wolf charged forward, skating across the ice at a fast pace, the blood adding some color to the picture she was carving on the surface. In a flurry of shaved ice Fire skidded to a halt, "I think that's a nice picture of you."
The wolf girl didn't even look over when she threw her knives at the new guards just coming in. They sliced through the air and went straight through their necks, cutting their brain stems and killing them instantly.
The picture she'd been talking about was of Luna's face while she'd been inside the tube. Her hair, represented by the blood, floated around her face while a serene expression made the slumber look peaceful. Luna rolls her eyes, at the wolf woman, "Oh please, looks can be deceiving."
More guards come in, this time avoiding the ice as they aimed their guns at the two women. Luna pointed her staff at the guards and said only one word, "Suffocate."
The men gasped, their guns falling to the ground as they began clawing at their throats. They dropped into a pile at the entrance with out another sound. "That would be for putting me in that chamber the first place you retches." The raven says, her face carefully blank even as loathing sparked in her eyes.
"My my, quite a performance Project Wolf, Project moon."
Fire stiffened and spun around, growling at the bald man in a lab coat that was standing there. He had a self assured smirk on his face and all she wanted to do was tear it to pieces. Her twisted playful demeanor fell like a stone in water as she growled, "You."
Luna stood still as a statue, her eyes glowing so bright it could be blinding, "Murderer..." She hissed.
The man chuckled, that self assured smirk never leaving his face, "Now now, Project Moon, let's not make this any more difficult than it needs to be."
"Oh yes, I'm sure it will be difficult when I rearrange every part of your face and leave you incapable of having children!" Luna snaps, her mask dropping and showing nothing but rage.
Fire's muscles twitched as siliva dripped from her mouth. She clutched her head as her teeth grew out and flames ignited around her feet. Scratchy laughter tore from her throat as her eyes turned a red so dark they were nearly black. "You did this to me." Gold claws grew out while chilled air whipped around her like a cold blanket. Rage filled those dark orbs as she slowly got down on all fours, looking like some kind of twisted hound from hell.
Though, Luna didn't look much better. Her hair whipped around her wildly as sharp fangs grew from her mouth and talons grew from her fingers. Large black leathery wings teared out of the back of the jumpsuit she wore, shredding the back out of it. Her skin turned a strange blue-green color and small black horns cut out of her forehead, causing blood to drip down her face. Plate like scales rip the rest of the suit off, leaving her in what looks like silver armor. She looked like a demon, for lack of of a better word.
Both woman grin sadistically as the guards on either side of the doctor begin to tremble. The doctor however continued to grin, acting like a patient parent who's children were having a temper tantrum. "I believe I've let you have enough fun, let's begin shall we?" He pulled out a strange remote and pushes a button, and the two monsters let out a horrendous roar of pain.
Fire fell and curled into a fetal position, "No! Not again!" Nine sharp spines tore through the skin on her back along with her suit. Her claws gripped the black fabric like a vice. Her eyes remained the same color as before, her black flames seeming to darken while black ice crawled around her form, making spikes around both her and Luna.
Luna fell to the ground, screaming as the wind howled around them, water pipes burst and flooded the room, some freezing from the force of Fire's power. White light radiated around her, making her seem like a ghost.
"You fool! What have you done!" One of the guards shouted in alarm.
The doctor continued to grin, a crazed gleam in his eyes as he watched Fire and Luna's power overwhelm them. A large meteor shot down from the sky, crushing the men present as more came falling.
"Let the purge begin..." Were the Doctor's last words as black flames rose up and sky fell. Fire's breathing became ragged. This was it. That stupid man had gotten what he wanted. Fire's eyes flashed silver for a split second as she looked up at the moon, insanity momentarily gone.
'At least...I get to see...the moon.' When Fire saw the meteors start falling she tried laughing but nothing came out. 'What a pretty sight...'
The last sane thought that Luna had was, 'Solara...forgive me...' before a demonic howl and a deranged cackle pierced the night air.
