Me: okay, I'm bored! What to do?

Pheon: How about you write another fic?

Me: what section?

Pheon: Shinzo! You've been having loads of ideas about that section. So use your ideas; don't waste them! Or I'll write one!

Me: *slaps forehead* Fine! Your fics would be about death and decay and the like. Okay, oh smart one; who should I write it about, then?

Pheon: *whispers something in my ear*

Me: *grins*Why not?! Start the fic!

"So, we all agree?" Lord Mushrambo boomed out amongst the court, and all the courtiers nodded. He nodded satisfactorily, as a servant rushed in, startling the Lord and nobles. He barked at the girl,

"Alicia, what is the meaning of this?!" Alicia, trembling slightly, turned her head towards the floor and quietly stated,

"The guards, my Lord... They found a young girl near the labs, sir." Mushrambo raced out, passing the servant girl as he went. All was silence in the court, as Alicia walked out. Down by the labs, where the young girl had refused to budge from, Lord Mushrambo interrogated her.

"What were you doing? What were you going to do? How did you get in? What's your name, brat?" The girl they had caught looked at him with her silver, electric-blue tinted eyes as if she were confused.

"I don't know what you mean. I just woke up, and was here. I swear that's the truth. I have done nothing wrong, my Lord." Her golden hair swayed slightly, the silver highlights flashing in the light as she turned her head to get a better look at the enterran. Standing about 6'6", and with murky green hair and purple eyes, he was an impressive sight. His black, dragonish wings contrasted strongly with his almost white skin. She lifted her head and looked him in the eyes, casually commenting,

"My name's Sylvanon, Sylva for short. What's yours?" He growled deeply at her.

"I am Lord Mushrambo, the Dark King. You must've heard of me." She growled before remembering her manners... and her plan. Screaming in what sounded like Pheonixian, suddenly five blurs sped by her. Sylva grinned at the shock clearly plastered across the guards and, taking advantage of the slack fingers, slipped in after the blurs. Inside, the walls were lined with huge tanks filled glowing green liquid. One of the others stuck their head from round the corner, and whispered,

"Sylva, come in here! You won't believe this!" She followed as the girl stuck her head back around the corner and disappeared. As six more tanks appeared out of the gloom, each glowing blue, Sylva gasped. Six forms of Mushrambo, in tanks? Being kept in these prisons until _he_ wanted to absorb their cards and become more powerful? Just being kept alive because they might serve a purpose? Sylva tried to imagine life in the tanks, and shuddered at the very thought. 'At least they have clothes on' she thought. The girl called,

"Come on Sylva!"

"Coming, Azura!" Sylva ran down the dark hall. She found Azura sitting with four other girls. Sylva nodded and seated herself between a tall, pale girl with plum coloured hair and indigo eyes, and a tall, black haired, green eyed girl with tanned skin.

"Talon, Calico, Dana, Rain, Azura, how are you all?" The girls focused on Sylva, who shrank down in her chair immediately. Calico spoke first.

"We're alright. Not good, nor bad, Sylva. How about you?"

"I'm ok. What's going on?" Rain now spoke; a girl with turquoise eyes, and midnight blue streaks in her sky blue hair, and of many talents.

"Those enterrans in the tanks are really strong. I've been checking out their stats on the lab computers and those boys are rated extra dangerous. We'd better be careful if we're gonna let them loose." The girls fell into silent thoughts, of how to free the boys and keep them from killing them. None of them noticed Sylva and Azura walk out the room. Sylva stood in front of a Black Mushrambo; he best suited her personality, she felt. Azura, meanwhile, had stopped in front of the golden one. 'Ah well, can't argue with that,' Sylva thought. 'a peaceful one is good for an equally peaceful person.'

She stood to one side of Black Mushrambo's tank, and slowly slid down it to sit down. Azura had gone back into the room and suddenly, without her realising it, Sylva was being watched. Hearing a knocking coming from the tank she was leaning on, Sylva tilted her head right back, to look into pure, clear, vibrant green eyes, rested on her. She started, realising that he had been watching her the whole time. She whirled round. All of them were watching her. 'Okay... I hate people watching me!' Sylva panicked in her mind, but just as quickly she calmed down. Hearing him knock again, she turned to Black, seeing him smile, she reached out a hand to touch the glass.
