[Escape from Sloth's lair]

"Trespasser in sector 14!" A voice boomed on the intercom. I suppose I really was a fugitive now. I was an escapee. My feet grew tired, but I kept going. Jangelius would be mad, but he would have to deal with it.

I found my way out of the lab, having to stop and feast on a few of the guards on my way out. From here, I... was lost. I looked around. My foot sunk into the earth as I stepped on it. I spread my wings and hovered for a moment before choosing a direction. I suddenly realized that I had no cloak to protect me from the sun. I would burst if I stayed out here. Suddenly, something dropped over me. I thought it was one of Sloth's minions and began to push away from whatever it may be.

"Calm down. You'll burn up if you stay in the sun!" Someone caught hold of my arm and hissed. I could not recognize the voice.

"Jangelius?" I asked, hoping it would be him.

"No, no," I heard from above me, "Jounouchii's the name!" He sounded rather cheerful.

"And you are?" I asked.

"I've told you!" Jounouchii laughed, "Jounouchii!"

"No, no," I said quite annoyed with his cheerful disposition, "What are you doing, I mean."

"Helping you of course."

"And why would you be doing that?"

"Can't say. Just seems like the right thing to do, plus, I wanted to get away from there."

"You were being held there too?" I asked, interested in the one who had chosen to help me, "How long?"

"Two years. They finally got to me with their experiments yesterday. Pf!"

"Wait... Then you must be.." I paused, "A perfect experiment!" I wondered how they could have done it. In all the time I was there, not one experiment proved successful.

"My friend Kanusi," Jounouchii continued, "Was also being held. He, however, escaped yesterday." I nodded and felt Jounouchii's grip loosening. "It's our stop!" he yelled as we pushed our way out of the moon's gravity system and into another. Jounouchii and I both landed face first on the ground, knocked out cold.
