Mad Scientists – Part 2
At The Lab Where Rens Being Held-
Ren opened his eyes feeling drowsy and heavy; his entire body felt numb yet weighed down. When he tried to lift himself he discovered why he felt so weighed down, it was because of the straps on his wrists, legs, neck and forearms. He blinked because of the bright lighting all around the room he was in. He squinted so as to see where he was. All he could see was white, the walls were padded and white with a white chair bolted to the floor and the bed he was attached to was also yes again white. It was like he had been put into a looney bin. He managed to twist his head around enough to see that one wall at the far end was glass but lead to another white padded room with 2 bodyguards stood either side of the door leading into the room Ren was in. He recognised them because they were the ones he saw before he was knocked out by the dart put in his neck. Ren wriggled trying to free himself from the table but it didn't look too good. He looked at the ceiling and listened out for anything. He could hear a buzzing noise from the corner of the room and immediately wriggled so he could see what it was. It was a camera watching him and moving along with every move he made. Ren got annoyed but kept quiet mainly because he wanted time to think and the longer the guards didn't notice he was awake the better off he would be. This called for a sneakier approach but the hopes of that were dashed as the straggly Mr Mad came through and was let into the room with a bunch of other scientists. He looked smugly at Ren and then began telling all the other scientists on his successful experiments and the discovery of a pregnant male. Ren wasn't going to let this nerd Mr Mad talk about him like he was his little science experiment.
Ren: Hey! If you value your life get me off this table. If I have to get off this table on my own you will be sorry!
Mr Mad: I see experiment R3N is awake the subject is also known as Tao Ren (Pushed his glasses back up his nose that resembled a rats, whiskers and all)
Ren: If you know who I am then you know you had better let me go right NOW!
Mr Mad: Fascinating the subject seems to suffer from anger problems
Ren: (Tugged and pulled at his straps) I DON'T HAVE ANGER PROBLEMS!
Mr Mad: The subject is approximately 6 months pregnant. It is unknown whether foreign seamen was introduced or the subject back fired making himself pregnant
Ren: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BACK FIRED? ARE YOU A COMPLETE NUT?
Mr Mad: I think Experiment R3N needs his shots, Humpty you hold him Dumpty you give him just enough to calm him (He is talking to the guards which I named after an egg)
Humpty and Dumpty: Yes, Dr Mad!
Ren: KEEP AWAY FROM ME! (The two held his arm and gave him an injection) GET OFF ME YOU! You y-ou… (The drugs kicked in and he was drifting asleep again)
Mr Mad: night, night… Now where was I oh yes the subject will remain here through out the experiment so we can monitor the pregnancy then I myself will birth the two freaks err I mean miracles from experiment R3N, we must first find out who else these children belong to so we can question and examine him or her if indeed there is another
Meanwhile-
It was now dark and the street lamps were on lighting the roads. They drove up next to the fence surrounding the building and turned out all the headlights. Morty got out his little light and his laptop so as to look for the best way inside. Yoh offered to teleport but who knew where they would end up. Yoh brought a bag of tools to get the job done. Morty told them the best way around was through a certain part of the fence that was not electrified. Horo, Yoh, Chocolove and Morty went and cut a hole in the fence slipping in and running over to the building so as not to be noticed by the men walking around wearing sunglasses and things that looked like hearing aids. Morty was now faced with a dilemma, he didn't know how to get in from where they were and huge bodyguards closely monitored the only other ways into the building.
Horo: Why do they always have to be huge? Why can't they ever have small guys to guard buildings?
Yoh: I don't think that it would do much good having little guys guarding a building
Horo: Morty, how we going to get in?
Morty: Hold on, I need to see which way is best
Chocolove: I feel like a spy hey what do you call an underwater spy? James Pond (laughed at his own bad joke)
Yoh and Horo: (Smacked him over the head) knock it off!
Morty: Shhhhh do you want us to get caught?
Horo: Have you figured it out yet?
Morty: I think so but the problem is… It's that doggy door there (Pointed at a door located just on the corner nearby to them
Horo: Well I can't fit through there you go Yoh
Yoh: (Shook his head) No way I couldn't get through there either… Chocolove
Chocolove: Do I look like a dog to you? Wait don't answer that, I can't fit in there not in a million years
Everyone looked at Morty with evil eyes
Morty: Me! No way! What makes you think I could get through anyway?
Yoh: You're the littlest so you should go
Horo: It's all to save Ren and my twins so do it or else!
Morty: But…
Horo: Now! (Shoved Mortys head through the dog door but he got stuck there)
Morty: Ow Horo what did you do that for?
Horo: Just get your but moving
Morty: I cant I'm stuck
Horo: Now what?
Yoh: (Tried the door handle and found that the door was open) I think we can get through this way
Morty: What! The door was open!
Yoh: Yeah, you mean you didn't try it before?
Morty: I didn't think it would be so easy
Horo: Come on let's get him out of there and save Ren
Yoh: Okay all together now… Pull (Everyone pulled on Mortys legs and he went flying out on top of them)
Horo: Why did I bring you guys along again?
Yoh: (Shrugged) Why did you?
Horo: Never mind let's just go save Ren
Morty: Just like old times, like when we saved him from his uncle
Horo: Less talk more action
They all ran through the door and avoided the cameras thanks to Mortys directions. He also had a tap into the security cameras so he could see where they were; he came across that while looking for blueprints. They weaved through the maze of halls making sure not to get caught. First things first they needed to find out where in this building Ren was and the best place to find that out at was the security headquarters where the cameras would be located. They rushed around to find Ren and all Horo could think was how much he hoped Ren was alright, he quickened the pace trying to get this rescue mission complete.
In The Room Ren Is In-
Ren was just waking up again to see scientists leaning over him with their clipboards and pens out humming and ah-ing at the situation. Ren didn't get a good look at all the faces but most of them were young women or very attractive. Ren couldn't really speak yet his head still swam and his body still numb. Those drugs they used on him messed him up bad. He could hardly move but still attempted it. They had him dressed in a full white outfit with white trousers and a big white shirt that fastened at the back with several ties. He fidgeted and then was noticed by these girls who gasped and began talking. He tried to remain calm but Ren and calm do not mix so he ended up trying to shout at them
Ren: Get me out of this now! I will destroy you all! I am not asking I'm telling you let me out
(Random Science Chick 1) RSC 1: Erm… I don't have authorisation to commune with the Experiment
RSC 2: Me either. Should we listen?
RSC 3: You fools record everything it may come in handy. That will make Dr Mad happy
RSC 1: Yeah, we might even be allowed to engage in conversation with the experiment if we do
Ren: I AM NOT AN EXPERIMENT! YOU IDIOTS KIDNAPPED ME!
RSC 2: We did not… Did we?
RSC 1: I don't know, Dr Mad said it was his experiment
RSC 3: Don't listen he knew what he was getting into when he agreed to be the experiment now he must live with it
Ren: I did no such thing, that crackpot you call Dr Mad took me from my home and stuck me in here
RSC 2: How awful, should we let him go? I'm not sure if he is telling the truth
RSC 3: Hello pregnant male here! We must research into it
Ren: YOU DOLTS!
RSC 2: That's not very nice
Ren: I will slaughter you mad scientists, your all going to have my kwan-doa shoved up your… (Interrupted by RSC 1)
RSC 1: Is he even a he or is he a she. He looks so girly
RSC 2: Yeah how do we know?
Ren: (Offended beyond belief but had an escape plan all he had to do was swallow all his pride) Well what do you think?
RSC 3: But Dr Mad said…
Ren: Hey, I'm a girl there now let me go (Embarrassed beyond belief)
RSC 3: No it has to be a boy
Ren: …No I am a … girl (Made a face)
RSC 2: How do we know he err she is telling the truth
RSC 1: She must be look at those hips they are so perfect… some girls get all the luck (Ren shuddered at her comment)
RSC 3: There's only one-way to figure this out… girl's drop them
RSC 2: Drop what?
RSC 3: What do you think? The pants (pointed to Rens pants)
RSC 1: Okay
Ren: WHAT? No! Keep back haven't you ever heard of privacy or decency or-Hey!
RSC 2: (Looked down his pants) Wow!
RSC 1: What? Let me see
RSC 3: Well boy or girl
Ren: Get away from me! You all are sick and perverted!
RSC 2: It's so big
RSC 1: Guess he is a boy… amazing
Ren: Take a picture it will last longer!
RSC 3: Good idea, proof of his masculinity
Ren: HEY! (Flash of camera) You weren't supposed to take that seriously! (Blushed madly, the two other RSC's put his pants back in their rightful place) I'm tied down to a bed, how much more perverted do you people get! (Interrupted by the door)
Humpty: Ladies your all wanted for a private meeting with Dr Mad. If you do exactly as he says big things could happen for you all
RSC 3: Come on girls let's go get us a promotion
RSC 2: Wonder what he wants us to do?
Dumpty: He's up in his private quarters
RSC 1: Wow sounds secretive
Dumpty: Sure it does now run along and leave the expected mother err I mean father to his thoughts
Ren: I WILL KILL YOU ALL DAM IT! ONCE I GET FREE!
Humpty: Sure you will sweetie (Closed the door)
Ren: Kisama! (Insulting way to say 'you', look it up)
Ren lay still for a while but felt a buckle dig into his wrist. He felt its sharp corner digging into his skin almost drawing blood, he wriggled it causing his wrist distress but at the same time digging it into the leather straps holding down his arm. It slowly began to tear up but it was going to be a while before he got through it.
Back With Horo And The Others-
They were whizzing through the corridors and had managed to avoid the cameras but they had to leave an unconscious cleaner in a janitor's closet along the way. Horo peered around the next corner only to see two guards in front of the door they needed to go through. The game plan was Chocolove was to distract them then while they crept into the security room. Chocolove was pushed out into the corridor and seen. He waved to them then ran in the opposite direction to everyone else. Horo Yoh and Morty went into the security room getting the attention of a fat man sat in the chair but he was silenced by Horo hitting him in the head with a fire extinguisher. He brushed off his hands then let Morty do his thing.
Morty: Wow this is a really complicated piece of work. There's cameras scattered randomly all over. This was a rushed project; they don't even have any cameras operational in sector 4. That's the direction we should escape by. It will lead us back down to the door we came in at
Horo: Yeah, yeah where's Ren? (Looking frantically over the screen)
Yoh: Oh look there's Chocolove hiding from those guards (Hears voices from the unconscious mans head set so picks it up and puts it to his ear) Hello
Guard: Hello, who is this? Where did Bill go?
Yoh: Err… he's not feeling too good right now
Guard: I bet it's all those doughnuts he ate… okay tell me where the intruder is heading
Yoh: Erm I thinks he's err in… the bathroom
Guard: The bathroom!
Yoh: Yeah, the girl's bathroom right down the far end of the building (Giggled)
Guard: Okay… I'm on my way
Yoh: Good luck (Took the head set off)
Horo: Who were you talking to?
Yoh: (Shrugged) Who ever it was I just sent him to the little girl's room to look for Chocolove
Morty: Yeah, I see the guards there they are heading for the bathroom right now. Chocoloves making a dash for the get away point
Horo: Right now where is Ren?
Morty: There (Pointed to the screen)
Horo: What room is that?
Morty: Room… 33
Yoh: Typical
Morty: Hey if you take one of those headsets you can keep in touch with us. I used to have some like them when I was little
Horo: Okay now time for me to swoop in and save the day
Morty: Looks like Ren trying to escape on his own (Watches Ren get the first buckles undone and slowly work off the one around his neck and other wrist)
Horo: That's my Ren
Horo: Wait I have something I want you to do (Whispered his plan into Yohs ear)
Yoh: Okay I'll wait with Morty and you go get Ren
Morty: I'll guide you through till you get out then we will follow keep the head set on, do not take it off!
Horo: Got it, ya know you can be pretty bossy Morty
Morty: Really
Yoh: What next Captain Morty
Morty: …Well, save Ren I guess…
Horo: (Left waving good bye) See you all later
Yoh: Good luck
With that Horo left putting on his headset and being told where to go. He was taken right up to the opening of room 33 but he noticed a few guards in front of it. Yoh grabbed the other headset that Bill had been wearing and told the guards that were outside the room the intruder was nearby. Yoh lead them in random directions and Horo opened the door to room 33. He was met by two large looking guys also known as Humpty and Dumpty.
Dumpty: Where do you think your going little man?
Humpty: No visitors (Cracked his knuckles and tightened his fists)
Horo: Wow you guys must have eaten your greens
Humpty: No more chitchat. Now we're going to pummel you!
He went to hit Horo but Horo held up a fire extinguisher so his fist went into it puncturing it and spraying him in the face with cold foam. Ren was half way up with his wrists and neck now untied. The other started chasing Horo around the room but Horo was always quick. He got a few punches in but this guard was a heavily built monster who looked like he had taken an over dose of steroids, so did the counter part who now stood up but was still blinded by the foam. Horo saw a table full of needles full of something but he didn't know what it was. He ran and picked one up so that the next time the brute went to hit him he could stick it in him. Sure enough the brute did throw another punch and got a needle in his side. After about 30 seconds of staggering he fell to the floor sleeping like a baby.
Now there was one, down one to go. Ren was unbuckling his legs watching his husband through the glass wall. Horo picked up another sticking it in the rear of the blinded one so that he wouldn't bother them for a good while either and luckily he had the keys to the door. Horo grabbed the keys from the guard's belt and unlocked the door leading to the white room Ren had been imprisoned in. Ren was actually glad to see Horo but he wouldn't let it on.
Ren: (Watched Horo stumble through the door to his aid) about time you showed up, I though I would have to do it all on my own
Horo: Ren are you okay? Are you hurt, did anyone hurt you? How did you scrape up your wrist like that? Did they do anything to you? What abou… (Interrupted by Rens soft kiss)
Ren: (Broke away) yes, no, no, the buckle when I was escaping, they drugged me up, kidnapped me and about the twins they are fine. Anything else
Horo: No that about covers it (Smiled with relief)
Ren: Let's go before the guards wake up or more come (Tried to stand but his legs just wouldn't hold so he nearly fell flat on his face but Horo got him)
Horo: Looks like you can't walk
Ren: Just give me a minute, dam those drugs
Horo: Looks like you need a lift
Ren: Oh no Hor-o (Horo picked Ren up bridal style with the intension of carrying him out)
Horo: Better
Ren: No! Now put me down
Horo: Sure… when we get to the get away car
Ren: Oh no, I need to find the guy who did this
Horo: Don't worry as soon as I give the signal Yoh will go get him to bring with us. See how he likes being kidnapped (Smiled widely)
Ren: Where do you get these ideas? (Me of course duh Ren)
Horo: I don't know they just kinda jump out at me. Ready?
Ren: …Fine…
Horo: Okay then I'll give Yoh the signal (Turned to the camera and stuck out his tongue to the camera)
Ren: Baka!
Horo carried Ren off with Morty laughing down the head set at the fact Ren was being carried like that. Yoh meanwhile had the culprit tied up ready to be carted off. The only thing for Morty was left to do was lead Horo out to sector 4 to leave through the doors they entered in. Yoh was already there when Horo arrived and it was only a few minutes later that Morty arrived. Morty flashed his little light out to the darkness a few times then waited… a set of headlights flashed a few times in response. They all headed for the headlights and climbed under the fence. By now Ren was walking but he had to lean on his Ainu for support. The rat like man that had caused all this was screaming and crying but his gag stopped his cries from being heard. They climbed into the get away car, with Ryu as the driver they zoomed off into the distance heading to Yohs place for a snack prepared especially by Tamao and to see what they will do to solve this problem. Ren had to sit on Horos lap because of the lack of space but ad least Dr Mad was still tied up and gagged in the boot. Ren wanted to kill him so badly but that would all be in vein if they couldn't fix this so the weasel lived… for now.
On Arrival At The Inn-
The car pulled up in front of the Inn and Ren was taken in so no one saw him. Yoh and Chocolove grabbed the good doctor and shoved him into the house head first so his head banged off the hard wood floor. Anna heard the thud and came out from her room where she had been researching this problem. Mr Mad was hauled into the dinning room where everyone was now sitting eating all the treats baked and prepared by Tamao. Ren sat on the sofa getting fussed over by Horo who wouldn't stop cuddling him or nuzzling into his neck. Ryu removed Mr Mads gag and he was placed opposite them then everyone gathered around to see what happens now.
Mr Mad: Please, please don't kill me. I'm too young to die! (He cried and sobbed for his life begging like the worm he is)
Ren: Why shouldn't I?
Mr Mad: Have mercy
Morty: Boy is he talking to the wrong person
Ren: I don't know the meaning of this word
Horo: Usually I'm against such violence but you kidnapped my Ren and my unborn (Horo pouted and glared if that's possible, child like to the end)
Mr Mad: …You're unborn… does that mean you're the father of the experiments
Horo: They are not experiments!
Anna: If I could intrude for a moment I have a suggestion on how we can approach this situation (Sarcastic of course)
Yoh: Sure the floors all yours (Didn't pick up on the sarcasm)
Anna: I was being sarcastic Yoh; I'll do as I please especially when you're all in my house (Cold as ever)
Yoh: Sorry Anna
Ren: Can we move on with this?
Anna: As I was saying I have an idea. There's a spell I found or should I say charm that will lock away all memories of this but there's a catch
Horo: Aint there always
Anna: Shut it… I can make a charm or talisman in which all the memories can be sealed within but if it's ever broken people will slowly start to remember but if you're lucky they will just think they are crazy. The real catch is that it only works on normal people it does not work on shaman
Morty: Does that mean I'll forget?
Yoh: Sorry buddy
Morty: It's always the little guy (I really hate doing this to him… oh well)
Horo: Hey we can tell you about it later
Anna: I'll start on a charm but you two are going to make this up to me. I need help with some re-decorating next week and you both can help
Horo: Oh but Ren couldn't possibly do any of that in his condition
Anna: Hmmm you're right so you can do double to make up for him
Ren: You put your foot in it this time
Mr Mad: Can I go then seem so I won't remember any of this…
Ren: No! You're staying and you're getting dumped in the desert in a very small suitcase!
Mr Mad: Wait! No please I get heat rash and I burn easy and I … (Cut off by Chocolove who stuffed the gag back in his mouth
Ryu: I'll be glad to stick him in the trunk of my ride until you finish with what ever you're doing
Chocolove: I'll help. Hey Ryu did you hear about the kidnapping down the street
Ryu: No how terrible
Chocolove: I know his mother didn't wake him until 3pm (giggled at the funny he made…
Ryu: I don't get it…
Chocolove: wouldn't wake him till 3, it's a kid that's napping get it
Ryu: NO (disappeared with Mr Mad who was laughing unbelievably at Chocoloves joke)
Yoh: Is it just me or are his jokes getting worse
Ren: His jokes are getting worse
Yoh: Oh… Okay
Horo: What now?
Anna: We get back to the matter of my payment
Horo: Anna err… you know I would but… Ren needs me and I don't want to leave him alone in his fragile condition
Ren: (Whacks Horo over the head) He'll do it. To watch him suffer the back breaking labour will be interesting
Anna: Okay I'll be done in about 2 hours
Anna left to make this charm so that all memories of the miss-hap would disappear and be locked away. Horo still fussed over the now annoyed Ren but Ren had to admit it was sweet to be rescued heroically by Horo, even if it did contradict his masculinity. The two hours were almost up and Anna was near completion of the charm when cars and trucks pulled up front of the Asakura residence. Yoh saw them from the window and then shouted back to everyone 'REPORTERS'. A battle sequence was arranged doors were locked and blocked, windows closed and covered and all access to the house denied but still persistent reporters fumbled over the fence into the garden and spring. One reporter managed to get half way in the bathroom window shouting and screaming his questions out to try reach Ren who beat him off with a toilet brush until the pest was back out the window. A piece of board was put over the window and nailed there. The reporters were all awaiting the miracle of nature to be shown and started to do newscasts on the situation. Ryu flicked on the TV and watched the news, as the house they were in was being broadcast worldwide. Ryu sat and looked at the pretty woman doing the news report then an idea hit him, one so pathetic it was shocking. He opened a window and stuck a sign up reading in big letters 'anyone out there interested in being my shaman queen'. He was pushed and pulled by the newscasts that wanted desperately to get in. Horo saw and pulled Ryu in and shoved the other people out locking the window once again and then turning to beat up the cause of the fuss.
The reporters were close to breaking in at this point with their bashing at the door and they're tugging at the windows to try pry them open. Some were heard on the roof but Ren stayed calm or as least tried to look calm. He sat on the sofa cross-legged and cross-armed and his eyes closed trying to think of anything else but the people outside trying to make him a worldwide science exhibit for their own amusement and curiosity. The door hinges were heard giving way as people rammed into the door with a large log or something. Again and again the bashes made the door another inch away from coming down. Horo, Yoh and Chocolove went to try keep them from breaking in but it was too late the door came down and people all rushed in. Horo ran out to where Ren was grabbed his wrist and took him to the room Anna was working in. She turned to them annoyed until she saw the people chasing them, she stood and gave one of them an extra hard left hook then a threw the deserving idiot into the crowd gathering at the doorway. She closed the door to seal out the meddling news crew. Horo held the door shut with a little help from Ren. They got desperate and Anna finished off the charm. She sprinkled it with jasmine and dripped 3 drops of water on top it then handed it to Ren. He stared at it then at her, all she could do was roll her eyes and command him to read the incantation off of it three times. He read it through once then opened his mouth to start his chant. He said the weird jumble of words once, then twice and then started a third time when the door crashed down and reporters crowded around him. Horo held Ren into him protectively trying to force back anyone who came close. Ren froze for a moment looking at his protector. Horo looked determined to keep Ren and his babies safe, Ren finished the words from memory causing a ripple affect. The entire crowd in front of them disappeared right in front of his eyes, they were there then... they weren't. It was amazing it actually worked. Ren looked around to see the room was back to its former glory with the door on its hinges and the rug un-trampled. He looked up at Horo who still had both his arms slung around him like a shield protecting him from all harm. He looked down at Ren then smiled letting go of Ren to let him explore freely around. Ryu came out of the living room with a certain Mr Mad dragged along side him
Ryu: This dude didn't disappear like the rest do you think he still remembers
Horo: I don't know… Ren, do you think he remembers?
Ren: I don't care if he does or doesn't I'm still sticking him in a suitcase and dumping him in the desert
Ryu: That is cold short pants
Ren: Don't worry I plan to give him a bottle of water… after I add all the salt I can find to it
Ren had Mr Mad locked up in a small suitcase leaving a gap in the zip so he could breathe but not enough for him to easily escape. Ryu was more than happy to drive Ren and Horo out to the middle of the dessert and then kick the good doctor out the car screaming to be let out. Ren threw the bottle of water out as well right next to the suitcase that was small and black making it harder to escape from and with the black colour it absorbs a lot more heat. Ren smiled as the car went off into the distance and the ordeal was over finally…. But not entirely with out its bumps
One Week later-
Ren was sat in front of the TV leaning into a sleeping Horo who was tired after all the work Anna made him do on the Inn. There was a special news bulletin. The newswoman came up talking about a body found in the desert.
News Woman: Yesterday a body was found a short distance from a black suitcase and an empty bottle. The autopsy shows the man died of dehydration and exhaustion. Also oddly the body's salt intake was way higher than normal, the bottle contained traces of salt believed to be where the mans salt intake came from. There are no witnesses or clues to the culprits of the incidence. In this news reporters opinion this is a sick way to kill someone. Next up on the news we have mass hysteria as many cannot remember events from last week (TV was switched off)
Ren snuggled into his Ainu husband and smiled. He put one hand on his stomachs feeling brief movements from the twins then fell asleep peacefully (Who would feel guilty for killing that prat Dr Mad) Time continually passed by and the clock ticking down to the time when the twins would be born. Ren had hopes for the time but he also had issues to resolve as Ran had called him up and requested he and Horo to come over to the Tao mansion sometime soon. This made Ren uneasy; to be back at that place and at a time like this was very, very low on his list of things he would do. He refused to go back without his guardian spirit who had been with his little crush Kororo in the swamplands looking over the minutions. He had a jet prepared for he and Horo the following week, they were to make a stop in Horos village then pay a quick visit to China and to the Tao mansion…
There you go I hope it was all right, I got a little stuck in the middle and at the end but I loved killing Mr Mad woooo!
Rock-On!
