Chapter 1: Escape to Freedom

She sat in a white, pristine cell, looking out the only barred window in it. The light casted from the three moons shine through and caressed the features of her face, including her slitted eyes. Her long brown hair reached just over mid-back and was braided loosly. Some of the strands of her hair framed her face and some was tucked behind her slightly pointed ears, which have tufts of dark hair at the point.

She sighed. Only one more to go, then I'm so out of here.

She looked down at her right ankle and read the number on the ID band for the millionth time. It read 5201, her ID number and the only thing that she's called by. It was also tatooed on the back of her right shoulder, which was covered by the white pajama top. 5201 moved her white pajama pant leg to cover her band.

5201 stretched out on the bed that she was sitting on. Her legs stuck off the end a good foot and a half, for she was seven feet three inches.

To explain the abnormality of her obvious unhuman characteristics, 5201 is a genetic experiment. She never had a family to love and care for her, only the scientists that kept her locked up and allowed her out only to do tests on her. The scientists altered her DNA by deleting some of her original DNA and adding in the DNA parts of three different species. One being of a wild sand tiger, that changed the shape of her pupils and instead of having nails on her fingers, there were slits that allowed a cat- like claw to come out whenever she needed it. This DNA also made her jumping ability twice as good as a normal human and her canine teeth being slightly larger than of a human. The second DNA was that of a venemous spider, she didn't gain the poisonous venom, but the quick movement and being able to climb up walls. The third and final DNA added was that of the power-giving plants, somehow they got some of the plant's DNA and wanted to test it on a human. They hypothesized that it was the plant DNA that gave her the endurance, speed, strength and most obvious, her height.

But this is all for a reson, to try to create a being that is capable of destroying or capturing Vash the Stampede. They never mentioned when they are going to actually let this being, in other words her, out to do what she is made for. She got tired and she wanted her freedom and she was going to get that tonight.

She sat back up as she heard the sound of a vehicle. Looking out her barred-window, she saw the last scientist leave the facility. Finally, the only people here are the guards, she thought. And they'd never expect me to do what I'm about to do. 5201 stood, revealing her tall frame and thinness. She was this tall since she was about 2 years old, and was walking and talking when she was about one. The scientists were astonished at this phenomenon and kept trying to figure out what could have allowed her to be this tall.

5201 didn't waste much time to stretch, she padded over to the door, which was made out of iron bars. She took out a bobby pin from her hair, which allowed a lock of it that wouldn't stay in her braid to fall into her face. Easily picking the door open, 5201 waited for a moment, then left her cell and the area that her cell was in.

Padding down the hall, she came up to a supply closet. There, she found a pair of shoes that'll last the trip to the next closest town, a pack and some foods stuff. She placed some food into her pack. Standing up, she realized that she is going to need some money to get a lot of new things, clothes, boots, maybe even a gun. 5201 knew exactly where to go. She walked away from the closet and to the vault where the scientists kept the money that people gave them to do certian projects. She never quite understood why there was a vault in a science research facility, but she never questioned it.

The vault door had a combination lock on it. She closed her eyes to remember the day she followed one of the scientist to the vault through the air vents at night. Remembering the combination, she moved the dial to the right numbers and opened the door. 5201 grabbed a pile of money and shoved it into her pack. She closed the door again and headed for the garage area.

In the garage area, there was a lot of space left from the scientists that left to go home. But there was a special area for vehicles that have been created by the scientists to try to 'save the environment.' One of the vehicles was a motorcycle. It was a dark, ugly green color, but it was a sportster type. 5201 liked it, but it definately needed a paint job when she reaches the next town.

Walking over to the motorcycle, never noticing the little red beam for security purposes as she walked right through it. She gasped as the alarm went off, alerting the guards to her presence. Quickly, she placed her pack in one of the saddlebags on the bike and turned it on since the key was in the ignition. Gaurds appeared at the exits as she blasted out of the parking spot the bike was in. Swerving by the guards, she passed them with ease, hit the sand and was off into the night. The guards followed a few steps, but stopped to fire their guns at her in the night.

One of the guards ordered the others to stop firing.

"Someone get a hold of Dr. Locheski, his experiment escaped."

*****

Freedom, she enjoyed the feel of it as the air brushed against her cheeks and through her hair on the motorcycle. 5201 left those guards in the dust. And for once in her life, she won't have to worry about what those scientists want with her any more. She left out a whoop of joy, only to have to quickly regain control over the motorcylce.

She was glad for one of the genetic alterations. With the DNA from the sand tiger, she was able to see well in the dark. She blinked her cat- like eyes against the wind as she shifted gears on the motorcycle and continued to drive into the night.
