James wasn't prepared for the shock that this room would reveal. He retched
at the sight of corpses littered with chemical burns. James brought his
hand up and did his best to cover his nose and mouth with his sleeve, as to
lessen the stench. He pushed on and saw many cages with odd colored water
running into them and strange creatures he had never before seen. At the
other end of the room there was a man, standing with his back to James. The
man was hunched over and taking notes on something he was watching on a
T.V. James stepped slightly to the side so that he could see what was on
the screen. James let out a gasp as he saw it. It was his little girl! HIS
little girl! Locked in a cage and crying! James looked beside himself;
there was the cage, but no Kira. James snorted, his eyes locking onto the
man like a search and destroy missile, he imagined the sight of a riffle
scope locking onto the back of the man's head. Sirius stepped down,
followed by Remus. They both followed James's gaze. The man seemed to feel
three pairs of enraged eyes on him, for he turned around.
"I think she's coming along. She can't speak anymore, as described in her file. In a few more weeks she-" He stopped dead when he saw the three marauders glaring death at him.
"Hello" Sirius said in a pleasant, you're going to die, voice. "This is Kira's Daddy" James stepped forward. "And Godfather" Remus stepped forward. "And me?" He pointed to himself in mock surprise, "Hell, I'm their voice of reason... and I'm shutting up now"
The man gulped loudly and began sweating, as would anyone in this situation. Now as the fight begins I'm going to just pull a curtain over it, because we really are too young to see it/read it. Now, folks, you can do a lot of things in life that aren't exactly good. You can push someone smaller than you, you can pick on some poor kid at school, you can steal, lie, and cheat. But whatever you do, never, ever, EVER piss off three marauders who want nothing more then your head mounted on a stick they can use as a club to play quidditch. Never mess with a marauder's child. Peter stood outside the door wincing as the screams of;
"HELP!" Scientist.
"GET BACK HERE!!" Sirius.
"THAT WOUN'T HELP YOU!" James.
"THIS IS FOR THE FIRST SECOND OF TORTURE" Remus.
"YOW!!" Scientist. You get it.
"This is for the second"
"OWWWWW"
"Third"
"GAHHH!"
"Fourth!"
"OH GOD!"
"Fifth"
"REMUS! STOP!"
"YEAH! I WANT A TURN!"
"JAMES!?"
"What, Sirius?"
"...oh, whatever, ATTACK!!!"
"DIE!!!"
"Remus? Did you just yell die?"
"... Correction: expire, pass away, kick the bucket, push up the daisies, live 6-feet under-"
"Okay, okay... oh look, five of his friends have come to the rescue"
"You know what this means, right?"
"Uh hu"
"EVERYBODY DIE!!!!!" NEVER, EVER piss off a marauder.
"Five against three? THAT'S NOT FAIR!... Maybe we should give them weapons or only use our left hands" Ever.
"Okay, but I'm ambidextrous"
"...ATTACK!!!"
Sounds of glass breaking, people screaming, cheering coming from a few cages, then the sound of when a D.J. stops a record and pulls it back a bit, then silence. "...excuse me. Did you just prick my best friend with a needle?" Sirius asked.
James was hoping to God that he didn't get infected as he stared at the needle, which now held his blood.
"Umm.... I, uh" Babbled one of the scientists.
"I'm just asking so I know who gets to DIE!!!" Peter could heard the sound of a little girl scream, followed by the sound of Sirius lunging at someone. Actually both sounds were at the same time. The lunge and the girly shriek. (Mike: *Laughing* *Snort* I-it's sooo funny. Eve:* Laughing while typing, causing crazy letters to happen every now and then and have to be deletwed*)
"Here ya go" James said as he shoved a scientist into a cage with one of the experiments, which turned out NOT to have a deep love for the man that had been torturing it. Strange. Only two scientists left. The sound of a door opening- "DON'T RUN!" "COWARDS!" "P-... where is Peter?" The sound of a door rabidly closing. "FINE! LOCK YOURSELF IN A CLOSET, SEE IF I GIVE A DAMN" Sirius howled.
"AFTER YOU SEE IF HE GIVES A DAMN, COME OUT AND SEE IF I DO!" James demanded.
"...We are in a room filled with chemicals, and they're locked in a smaller room with nothing" Remus stated.
"...IDEA!" Sirius announced.
Peter stuck his head in. "Guys, as fun as that sounds, isn't someone missing?"
"No, I'm watching" Cota stated.
"Not you" Peter said, briefly looking at the security camera.
"...There's acid in the cabinet to Sirius's right!" Cota announced, not wanting to be completely left out.
"SCORE!" Sirius cheered, lunging for the cabinet.
"...Peter's right" Remus interrupted.
"I know, it's just... they hurt her and I want to make them pay for it" James grumbled as Sirius and Cota talked in the background about the best way to give the scientists the lovely gift of acid.
"I know, but it's more important to get her out" Remus advised.
James nodded as Peter grabbed the file that the scientist had been writing. Remus flipped a switch so that the test subjects' water would actually be water, not drugs. It wasn't their right to choose if the experiments lived or died, who were they to play God. Remus jammed a pole into the switch so it couldn't be changed as Sirius looked suspiciously at a barrel of acid, and a security camera seemed to be nodding encouragingly.
"Sirius, let's go" James called, running down the hall now. "Aw" Cota sighed. Sirius looked from the barrel, to the security camera, to the door James had left through.
"You basterds are lucky" Sirius growled and sprinted off after James, Remus and Peter. He turned the corner and nearly ran into Remus. Everyone was at a dead halt. Sirius looked over Remus's shoulder to see what everyone was staring at. He saw No name standing at the end of the hall, limping slightly. She had her helmet back on and was punching in a code on a key pad.
"... Takai must be down here somewhere" Peter whimpered.
"Or Hatchel" Remus whispered. (Eve: Funny, Whimpered, whispered, by changing one letter you can change a personality)
"Let's go" James lead the way, striding over down the hall towards No name. The door infront of her opened and she stepped through. James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter soon followed. The room they entered now was huge, like a warehouse. They watched her with cautious eyes as she slowly descended the stairs. James was the first to step down, No name stopped. James froze as she turned like she was going to turn around, but she stared at the railing, then started down again. The marauders slowly followed, then Peter sneezed. No name whipped around and Sirius, James, and Remus rushed forward. No name backed up and looked to one corner of the room. Sirius leapt forward and-
"GAH!" The next thing he knew he was laying on his back. James looked toward him and saw a little girl wearing the same uniform as the one they'd been following... and this one had a red visor over her eyes. She had leapt down from a small platform above them and now stood infront of them in attack stance. Sirius groaned painfully and looked up as she brandished a rapier in her right hand. She was making it blatantly obvious that there was no getting past her. The other girl was still staring at the corner, but it was obvious that Takai was using his power to communicate to No name and not worrying about the other girl.
"What did they do? Make clones?!" Peter squealed as No name lashed out at him, missing by only centimeters.
"AQUOR!" Remus cast, but No name dodged, just in time.
The second girl just stared at the closed gateway. "Stay there!" No name barked at her. The girl looked at No name, then over at a large machine on the right. The machine hummed to life after a few minutes. Peter took out his wand and No name lunged at him. James tried to petrify her, but spells just seemed to bounce off. A battle raged, but No name was quick and knelt over Sirius with the knife to his throat.
"Time to die" She growled. She raised the knife and smashed it into his throat, but James wasn't about to let that happen. As she lowered it he fired, his spell was liquid fire and melted the blade away clean before it even touched Sirius. No name jumped up and went to attack Peter, it didn't seem to register that her weapon was useless. Peter, however, seemed to agree with her and fell to the ground when the non-existing blade was swung at him. Remus grabbed her arm and she leapt up, dealing a sharp blow to his neck, that would have snapped it hadn't he been prepared for it and moved. However, once again she didn't seem to realize that no one was dead, for she turned to James and prepared another deadly strike.
"She has nothing but a life of pain here!" James tried reasoning.
"Pain is weakness exiting your body" No name answered. "She's not allowed to be weak"
"So why are you protecting her?" James asked.
"The angel is fragile" No name answered.
"What? You said she wasn't allowed to be weak" James stated.
"Weak is different from fragile"
"Explain"
"Weak- the inability to fight. Lacking in physical strength, energy, or vigor. Incapable of handling stress. Lacking the ability to function correctly. Lack of power. Fragile- frail, delicate. When she is fully trained I am to be her body guard"
"Nobody can be a weapon all the time. So they give the weapon a side kick that protects her" James understood now. He had never known something evil to go it alone. Voldemort and his cohorts, always followers. Evil always had supporters. No name nodded. "I'll end it now, Lord. Cannot you send for him? The one that brought her back here in the first place?... I understand Lord. I shall not let him live" She said. James knew she was talking to Takai, and he saw her brandish a second rapier. Could he fire on a child? Yet as he watched he didn't see her as a child. This robot only killed and caused suffering. He wasn't going to die for that. James fired and No name fell to the ground, mid leap. She tried to stand up, and he saw the red stripe flicker and dim. She stood up, unharmed, he had only hit her with a shield. She stood up, grabbed her weapon, took a few steppes, and collapsed as the light went out completely. Sirius, Remus, and Peter joined James. No one could figure out what had happened.
"...I..." Cota stuttered.
"What? What happened?" Peter asked.
"The visor flickering is her energy running out... she was drawing power from the generator on your left. I found a way to over heat it" Cota explained.
"Who's running the generator?"
"...Her" Cota said. Everyone's eyes went to the second girl. 'Specimen: Kira Tenshi, is too powerful to walk the halls unattended' James reminded himself, then... was Peter right? (Eve: Gasp! Mike: Stop) were they making clones? The girl looked away from the generator and James stepped forward. The girl backed up and her eyes went back to the right corner. She stared at the closed gateway and backed up against the wall as James walked towards her.
"We aren't going to hurt you. We jus-" He stopped as a thunderous crash echoed from the right. The girl ran towards the gateway, towards the sound, and the gate opened. James turned to go after her... Then it came. It charged into the room and let out a tremendous roar that shook the ground. It had a furry body like a mammoth, yet sharp spines and a lizard like tail. The head was like a bull and huge tusks stuck out of its mouth, curving around. The creature was crimson and stood at 12 feet high. Probably weighing more than an elephant. It stopped infront of the girl and lowered its head, scooping her up onto its right tusk. The girl sat on the tusk and held on to the part that curved upward. The creature turned to go back into the gateway and James could hear rushing water. His friends heard it too and they rushed ahead to try and stop the massive creature. They fired upon it and it swung its whip-like tail at them. Remus's shot hit the eye and the creature tossed its head as it spun around to face them, throwing the girl. She stood up and ran next to the creature. When it turned to face the marauders she drifted to the side and stood against the back wall. Remus prepared to hit the other eye, however the girl held one of her arms out in front of her and gracefully swung it horizontally with the palm facing forward and the fingers spread. Remus fired, and his shot was blocked by a force field. She was protecting the creature. 'Specimen: Kira Tenshi, is too powerful to walk the halls unattended' 'I am to protect Kira Tenshi' these word echoed in James's head as he looked at the beast, the beast with glowing purple eyes. (Mike: wha! Plot twist!) No, it couldn't be... No! James shook his head. He'd seen her on that tape... but how long ago was it recorded? Why was she in the cage? They said she couldn't speak anymore...No. It wasn't true. They wanted their angel, not a wild beast. James flicked his wand and fired a shield again. Kira knew that spell, out of the corner of his eye he watched the girl, she didn't move and the spell hit the creature. It couldn't hurt it, so nothing happened. James smiled and a battle started against the monster. They used stunning charms and Despell to lower the shield enough to fire through it. (Mike: Tired of fight scenes. Eve:... okay) There was a massive fight scene, which won't be typed, and then-
"Ahh!" The girl was hit! James spun around and saw that it was Peter that had fired the shot. James gave him a look that demanded an answer, however, it was Remus who gave the answer by firing a stunning spell that hit and knocked out the creature. The girl rose to her feet and stared at the fallen monster in disbelief. The turned and fled out the door behind her, with James quickly following. When the marauders arrived she was gone. They looked around this new corridor in bewilderment they had been sure they had ran around everywhere in the base... yet they'd never been here before. They walked down the hall and saw a door at the end. James prepared to open the door, his caution rising.
"Open it" Cota urged, the security camera nodding frequently.
James shrugged, figuring they could handle anything that popped out at them, and opened the door.
"I think she's coming along. She can't speak anymore, as described in her file. In a few more weeks she-" He stopped dead when he saw the three marauders glaring death at him.
"Hello" Sirius said in a pleasant, you're going to die, voice. "This is Kira's Daddy" James stepped forward. "And Godfather" Remus stepped forward. "And me?" He pointed to himself in mock surprise, "Hell, I'm their voice of reason... and I'm shutting up now"
