CHAPTER 11: "Mission IXX"

Kay stared off into the tight sealed room of steel. He could see the men who made him in there experimenting with their method of life. It had been how long, about five years since he breathed life again. Kay was born in 1409 and died in a war defending his country, a country that no longer existed on the earth now. His body was found by one of these scientists and they stole his DNA and gave "rebirth" to him with their technology. He was given life from the same men who were in that room now torturing their newest "result".

Kay ran a hand through his dark brown hair and sighed. It was an incredible change, breathing again, it was almost terrifying. Then Neo appeared to him and tested the Dark dragoon spirit on him. Kay was accepted and brought into a new light with a new purpose to perform. Had now served under Neo and fought for a strange cause. No there was no cause except to conquer and that was what Kay lived for. He had learned the sweetness of victory and power. Neo had promised it all to him.

A loud shrill scream pierced his dark tan skin and ears. He looked up and saw through the small window on the steel door light and darkness at once.

"They said they'll be done repairing our spirits in about two days." Blaine said jumping from the top level of stairs. He landed on his feet on the ground and stood up straight. "But of course that could take too long."

"Of course it'll take too long." Kay said taking his eyes off the door. "Any time spent is time wasted."

"Look it's not like we can stop time." Blaine said agreeing with him in a weird way. He leaned his arms against the railing on the metal bridge that split up into many paths that went to different rooms. The whole building was hidden deep under ground and was dome shaped. Levels were built within levels of the building and tall and long staircases separated them.

Kay smirked and turned around and walked away. Blaine followed him and they both walked around aimlessly.

"You know they're going to follow us here." Kay said.

"They can't find us here."

"Don't underestimate the enemy. They stand as a threat and we should be weary of them."

"You worry too much. As soon as we're all healed we'll track them down and blast them off the face of the earth."

Kay chuckled.

"And you worry to little." He said rolling his fist around on Blaine's head like an older brother would do. "There now you're Mister Static." Blaine groaned and struggled to smooth out his hair that was standing on its ends.

"Me and my electricity." Finding that it wouldn't go back to normal Blaine went to the nearest water fountain and soaked his head and fixed it again. There weren't many drinking fountains since the human that worked there might as well have been robots.

Kay chuckled again and stopped short. When was the last time he had laughed like that? Too long.

Suddenly the room that held an experiment suddenly glowed a dark purple, yellow and blue. Kay watched it silently. The shrill scream pierced the silence of the building again. Scientists ran from their offices and stared from where they were. The little room glowed brightly and Kay could hear the power that was charging inside.

Air ripped through his hair and he could feel the anger and hatred from it. The walls shook and human screams were heard along with a roar of fierce contention. The walls of the room collapsed and blew into the staircases. Kay stood not moving staring at the giant beast tangled in cords in front of him. The monster roared and leaned close to Kay and he could the star light eyes glow in thirst for blood.

It would've attacked him if the scientist didn't retain it with cords and sleep darts. Blaine quickly appeared and let his mouth drop at the sight of the monster in front of him. Kay stood expressionless, staring at it until it was out of his sight and into the detainment tank.

"That must be Mission IXX?" Blaine asked. He shook his head in confusion. "But how could it be a?"

Kay said nothing and continued to stare into space as if he were still staring at it face to face.

"My gosh. " He murmured. "They've brought him back."

Jett hopped from the ramp of the ship and onto the fresh sand was beneath his feet. He pulled on his white baseball cap and put on his sunglasses. He was in a black tank shirt and blue jeans.

"Shouldn't have worn black." Christa said passing him. "Black absorbs heat."

"But it makes me look skinnier. Besides you are." Jett replied.

"I have nothing left to wear." Christa replied with a frown. Erica and Daphne stepped off and looked around. The port was in a small town that might as well have been a ghost town. Only few people walked around the sand streets that were slightly paved for the few cars that traveled there.

"This place looks like a two from the old west." Christa remarked. She looked over the place and saw a wine bar a couple blocks away. "We might find something useful in that bar, over there." Erica agreed.

"If there's anything going on in this town we'll find out soon."

They quickly passed the buildings of the town and entered the bar like angels descending from heaven, because that's what it looked like when the bar doors were open long enough to emit four people at once. All eyes that were in there were immediately focused completely on them.

Christa and Daphne looked back at the male eyes that gazed over their lovely faces and strange attire. Erica and Jett walked over to the bar tender and ordered water and lemonade, being that neither people in the group drank. As soon as the glasses went to their lips and the bar went normal again.

Christa and Daphne took their seats at the counter.

"You guys must be new here. I haven't seen such clean faces in along time." The bar tender remarked.

"That's right. We're here pursuing two men." Daphne replied. "They're quite different like us. Have you seen anyone like them?"

The bar tender shook his head and cleaned a glass.

"I haven't ever seen anyone looking like you people and I've been working for ten years." His eyes went to Christa and Erica and then at Jett. "Are all three of these girls yours?" Jett smiled.

"I wish." Daphne sipped more out of her glass. Jett winked. "Cept her, she's my sister." The bar tender nodded.

"I see." He looked again at all three women. Christa and Erica acted as if they hadn't heard him. "Well like I said I haven't seen anyone like you before."

"Has anything weird happened around here then?" Christa asked. "Any UFOs come down and kidnap you?" The bar tender chuckled and shook his head.

"Nope, nothing like that anyway. Any orders?"

"I'll take a root beer." Daphne ordered.

"'Like that'?" Erica questioned.

"Well now that I think about it, something weird things have happened." The bar tender gave Daphne her glass and he put up the cleaned glass and took another one down and polished it. "I heard from some passing travelers that is dam not too far away from this town. Well that dam is what supplies us with our fresh water. But lately the quantity has dropped lower then it ever has been in fifty years."

"Do you know the cause of this problem?" Erica asked.

"No and all kinds of people have been up to look at it and they can't find anything wrong. Everything seems to be fine and in working order. Maybe aliens have landed." He looked up at Christa as he said this. But she didn't see it because her Dragoon spirit glowed briefly. Jett saw it and stared at it for a moment.

"We should probably go up and check it out." She said to her companions.

"Oh you can't just go up there. It's owned by Hawk Glint, and you have to have his permission before you even enter his property."

"Then we'll see him." Daphne said finishing her glass. She laid down a few coins on the counter.

"I'm afraid he's a member of a popular motorcycle group and right now their holding their championship down in Floyd. It's a must see event. I plan on going down there myself." He finished cleaning the glass.

"I've heard of that competition, isn't it called the Devil's War?"

"You're pretty good with names, yes it is. Anything else I can do for you?"

"No and we appreciate your help." Erica said. The group left the bar and stood outside.

"So we go to see this guy, Hawk?" Jett asked.

"We need to in order to look in that dam." Christa said reasoning.

"But Floyd is along ways away from here." Jett said swatting a fly.

"All the better to get there as soon as possible." Erica finished.
