Eve:... Y'know. I really wanted to make a comedy.

Mike:... No, I like this story, NO DESTROYING IT!

Eve: I'm not going to destroy it... simply make it funnier.

Mike: No!

Eve: Why?

Mike: 'Cause that's my job, on with the fic!

James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter raced down the hall, following Cota's instructions as he used the computer to open doors for them. The last room had computer terminals everywhere. Two huge monitors displayed data in, bright, neon green letters and numbers. The metal walls were covered in memos, monitors, machines, cables. All the terminals faced the wall and swivel chairs lined up behind them. On the opposite wall from the door, there were hundreds of cables, connectors, plugs, and wires. Towards that wall was a large, metal chair, surrounded by wires. Sitting in that chair, motionless; was Kira. Wires and cables emerged from the sides of the helmet and a loud buzz echoed from the machine behind her. The machines connected to the cables seem to be powered by her, reading her, testing her, recording information. Peter took a step back, terrified. Remus let out a gasp of horror. Sirius growled in rage. And James simply stared, his little daughter looked sorrowful, hurt, as if all the light in her was gone. He moved forward and more metal tubing blocked her from him. Thick cables surrounded her and connected to her in a jungle of electricity. James took another step and a barrier dropped infront of him. James broke through the traps, barriers, and cables. He stood infront of his daughter.

"Kira? Kira can you hear me?" He asked, pushing his way through the wires.

She was dressed in some strange uniform and a black helmet covered her face. All the cables and wires made her appear dead, as if they'd tortured her to death!. Before James could move, a shield was activated and he was blasted away by a wave of electricity. The chair dropped through a trapdoor below it and Takai apeared in it's place. James fired 'Avada Kedavra!' at him before anyone could even blink. However, the spell traveled straight through Takai.

"Stupid, fools" Takai sneered. "You cannot kill a hologram. You probably don't even know what a hologram is"

"Shut up!" James snapped. "Tell me where my daughter is!"

"Tsk, tsk. A lab created specimen cannot be anyone's daughter" Takai responded, laughing slightly as if the very idea itself was highly amusing.

"Shut up you slime!" Sirius barked.

"We know she's here! You can't tell us that what we saw was a hologram" Remus growled, walking forward.

"No, but good luck reaching her. She doesn't know you're here. She is under MY control, and will act as I tell her to-" Takai stated.

"-You son of a-!"

"-Ah, ah, ah" Takai shook his head and looked at Sirius out of the corner of his eye. "You don't want me ordering her to kill you, do you? What would you do? Fight back? Stunning spells won't work against my shield and if you try and touch her, she'll blast you away"

"I'll kill you!" James threatened.

"Careful, it's not my fault you think my lab experiment has a soul-" Takai stated, crossing his arms, and peering down his nose at them.

"Enough! She has a soul. You'd be stupid to believe otherwise" Remus said.

"The point is, you stole my experiment, and I reclaimed it. Now, leave and I won't have to kill you" Takai stated touching his fingers together.

"Kill us? How are you going to do that? You're a hologram. If we can't touch you, you can't touch us" Sirius stated boldly.

"Idiot" Takai hissed, glaring at Sirius as if he had just uttered the most stupid words the world had yet to hear. "I'm here at the base, but all you see is a hologram. Meanwhile I'm sending guards-" Takai snorted.

"-I don't care if you're sending dragons!" Sirius snorted back.

"We'll fight them-" Remus stated.

"-We'll win-" Peter nodded.

"-And we'll find her" James stated in a voice that proved there was no doubt in his mind.

"The four of you, maybe. However, there is a lad in my control room that won't. You see, there are five vents running up and into that room. They all give different types of gas. You can live when there are three on, they neutralize the others. However, if I were to , lets say, cut those off, the air will start to change colors. Then it will go into three, dark, final colors, blue, green, and red. Red, to put it simply, is like breathing acid. Green and blue are both very heavy. Like being a mile or so off ground. Green is almost enough to make your head explode, but that would be far to easy a death... well, for me to watch anyway" Takai sneered.

"Cota, will leave when the air starts changing color" James growled.

"Will he?" Takai paused, amused. "No, I don't think so. He will stay, and unlock doors for you. You see, I can close them at will"

"Basterd!" Sirius bellowed.

"Watch your tongue" He said the words slowly and glared threateningly at Sirius. "You're already trying my last nerve. I'm allowing you to leave, something I really don't have to do-" Takai stated as if he was being the most generous human being in the world.

"We are not leaving with out Kira!" Remus spat.

"Tsk, tsk. It's a pity. I admire the boy's skill at computers. To bad he has to die" And with that, the hologram was gone.

James bolted out of the room and into the hall. "Cota!" He called.

"Yeah? What happened, the camera for that room said the image was being transferred and I can't get it back-" Cota stated.

"Forget that, listen, do you know where she is?" James asked.

There was a long pause. "There is something one floor down. Short. Might be her" Cota stated. "Down the left hall, then take another left. To the east is a small alcove that has a stairway leading down" Cota said as they ran through the halls, following his directions.

"Thanks, but listen, you gotta get out of there! Now!" James yelled.

There was a pause. "A-alright" He sounded confused, they could hear the typing stop and a soft hiss. The door infront of them slammed shut, and locked with a click.

"Alahomora!" James casted. The door blew open, but there was another one behind it. This one dropped from the ceiling and acted like a wall.

"Alahomora!" Remus casted. Nothing happened.

"Alahomora!" Sirius casted. Nothing.

Alahomora!" They all tried at once, still nothing.

"It's acting like a wall, not a door" Remus stated, as Sirius pounded against it with his fist.

"Then we'll blow it up!" Sirius stated, a menacing tone in his voice.

"No! Don't do that! If you blow up a door the security system is activated!" Cota yelled from the intercom.

"I told you to get out of there!" James yelled back.

"I remember" Cota said quickly. "But the security system is an unavoidable red laser. You'll be cut to shreds before you even step through the thresh hold" More sounds of rapid typing. Cota was a fast learner. He had taken computer classes a lot during his life. His uncle was adopted. The uncle was a Muggle, so Cota learned a lot from him. Cota's Uncle Lan, loved computers, and had a high paying job working at different institutes that dealt with computers. A lot like N.A.S.A actually. The door opened and they ran through, down the hall, to the east and down the stairs. "Okay... where...? Oh, there! She's over in the next hall to your right. A door opened to their right and they rushed through. James was the first one out into the hallway. He saw someone short, walking down the hall, away from them. Wearing a black helmet and a uniform.

"Thank Merlin" James breathed. "Kira!"

The girl paused and turned around on her heel. She stood as still as a statue as James trotted up. He knelt down infront of her.

"Kira, are you alright?" James asked.

The next moment he was on the ground and could feel electricity pumping through him. Sirius sprinted over, seeing James fall to the ground in a flash of light. "James!" He yelled, screeching to a stop next to James. The girl turned around and continued walking away.

"Oh, no, you don't" Sirius said and reached out to grab her. Why would Kira hurt James? Takai must be controlling her somehow. Sirius snarled at the thought of Takai and vowed to punch him in the face the moment he saw him. He grabbed her shoulder and she stopped. Remus ran up and grabbed her.

"Kira? Kira can you hear me?" He asked. She was still. Then, fast as lightning, she jerked away from his relaxed grip, backfliped, and kicked him in the face. She stood, poised to attack. Remus opened his eyes again and clambered to his feet. James was already to his and they all stared in disbelievment. When no one moved, the girl turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened.

"Wait, Kira!" Peter cried, trying his luck, but staying far away from her. The girl stopped and turned around. "Umm" Peter hadn't expected her to actually listen. "W-where are you going?"

"To my chamber" The girl answered, her voice was cold and emotionless. "As procedure after an alarm"

"Um, wait, uh. We, we are here to help you" Peter stated.

"...Repeat that"

"We want to help you" Peter explained.

"... Inadequate response"

"What?" Peter asked.

"I don't think she knows what you're saying" Remus said, his voice a whisper. "We want to take you home"

"... Inadequate response"

"We want you to come with us" Remus stated.

"Who issued that order?"

"She's afraid of us" Remus whispered.

"What?" James asked.

"Watch" Remus took a step forward and the girl took a few steps back. "Takai, issued that order"

Sirius snorted loudly.

"Proof?" She asked.

"Proof?" Sirius sighed. "Meanwhile, Cota is choking on gas. C'mere" He lunged forward and the girl ran.

"Please administer new orders" She said as she ran, but it was clear she wasn't talking to them. She was talking to Takai, but how?

"Sirius!" Remus growled, running after them.

James ran forward and jumped infront of her. "Understood" She said. James didn't have time to wonder what she had meant, because before he could even think about it, she bowled him over and jabbed him in the ribs. James went down and grabbed her on his way. She felt a sharp burning in his neck, and then everything started going black. He released his grip and she ran, leaving him to endure the blackness that was slowly making it's way over his entire world.

'Kira?' James shouted as he ran down the long, white hallway. 'Kira!?' He called. This hallway was strange somehow, it wasn't as sterile and eerie as the others. James hurried down it, repeatedly calling his daughter's name. Then he heard laughter in his head. He stopped and turned towards a door. The laughter continued, gentle, and happy. James put his hand on the doorknob, turned it, and the door slowly crept open. There was a smell of roses and a bright light. When James was able to see again he was amazed at the sight. The room was pink and teddy bears lined up all over. There was lavender lace streaming across the walls, supporting stuffed unicorns and pastel balloons. There were posters of unicorns, tossing their heads cheerfully and running free, mermaids, swimming and waving friendly waves, of faerys, dancing about, and of a gryphon, smiling and ruffling it's wings. In the corner of the room was a poofy bed with tons of colorful pillows, stuffed animals, and blankets. The comforter had twinkling pink hearts and pudgy pandas, playing about. In the center of the room, stood a little girl wearing a uniform and a helmet. She turned around to face James. The laughing continued and seemed even more cheerful then before.

"Kira?" He asked.

She spread her arms out and tilted her head. James rushed forward and kneeled infront of her.

"Thank Merlin" James breathed, hugging his daughter. "I missed you so much, are you ready to come home?"

"Inadequate Request" Said a robotic voice.

"What?" James started, but in a flash he was blasted away and blood streamed from his head.

James opened his eyes and was alone. He could feel his heart pumping in his chest and hear Cota's voice, faintly, over the intercom.

"She's going left... no, Peter. Your OTHER left!"

"I only have one left!" He heard Sirius yell.

"Hey, I'm watching from a security camera! It's hard to know what angle or direction the camera is facing sometimes!" Cota retaliated.

"OW! Damn it! That hurt!" Sirius growled.

"... she's waiting to ambush you" Cota's voice said feebly.

"A bit late for a warning don't ya think?!" Sirius barked.

"...Sorry..." Cota's voice was small.

"What the hell did they do to her?" James asked no one as he rubbed his head and stood up.

"Takai is controlling her. She can't understand what you want, and has been taught to attack anyone she doesn't recognize" A voice to his left said. James turned and looked at the woman who had spoken.

"What?" He asked.

"She doesn't know you. The helmet is the key, it's how he controls them from far away" The woman explained.

"Wh-what?" James asked as the woman ushered him into another room.

"He has a unique gift for controlling his creations" She explained, pushing him though the room and into another, then up a staircase.

"Why are you helping me?" James asked as she pulled him into yet another room.

"Irving asked me to" She said.

"T-thank you" James said, recognizing the name.

"Go, quickly now. You need to hurry" The woman stated, pushing him onto a moving sidewalk.

"Thanks" James said quickly regaining his balance "Wait, who are you?" He called back as the moving sidewalk rushed him down the hall.

"My name is Dima!" She called back, smiling as the door he had just went through closed.
