Unwilling & Forgotten Prisoner

Genki woke early, before dawn, unable to sleep because of the nightmares that plagued his mind. Becoming restless laying next to Holly he rose and found a spot a little ways away from the group. He than began to go through some training exercises silently, his movements fluent. Before long he was wrapped up in his training oblivious to almost everything else including his spectators. Pixie and Big Blue watched from near by finding him interesting in how he changed.

"Looks like the kids more of a fighter then before, man he moves quick."

"Mhm..." Big Blue nodded just watching. By now Holly had noticed Genki was missing and was looking for him. She walked up next to Pixie watching Genki with some interest too.

"Well you certainly found a fiery husband, Holly." Holly turned crimson.

"Pixie we aren't married yet." Pixie smiled she loved throwing people off balance especially Holly.

"Yet it the key word there." Genki began top do push up then sit-ups. "What on earth is he doing?" Jax landed near them having jumped down from a tree startling them.

"Training exercises" he walked up the hill to Genki "we have company." Genki nodded and walked back to the others, smiling to Holly. "Looks like their finally coming get yourself ready." Holly nodded as Pixie glanced at them both. "Looks like you found a handsome husband who can teach you some things as well." she smirked as Holly changed colors again and jogged after Genki. Pixie and big blue followed after them smiling. * I knew you were touchy Holly but not this touchy. *

Numac and Strum lead there fully armor troops towards the rebels in jeeps or on foot. Numac figured Genki didn't have more then the truck they stole and a few guns. A firefight ensued within moments but Numac had been wrong and his men were paying the price for it, explosions from the tank and grenades blowing his men to pieces. Holly was aiming for guns but finally decided to just kill them since they were trying to kill her. Genki mowed down the troops without a second thought. The alpha squadron did the same as Genki not caring about those they killed like Holly. Pixie along with Tiger and Greywolf fried some soldiers while Big Blue and Golem hurled rocks and trees at them. The other monsters shot men as the came in for attacks. Finally Genki took on Strum and Holly took on Numac. Shifted Holly was much stronger but Numac was fast. He made on error and held her from behind whispering something in her ear he eyes narrowed.

"Don't you dare touch me." She froze his feet to the ground and punched him as hard as she could. He doubled over holding his stomach as she powered up an attack.

"He changed you well…" Holly's eyes glowed and icy blue as a ball of cold energy built in her hands.

"Aura Beam!!" the energy flew towards him freezing him solid then shattering his form. Holly panted heavily and turned to watch Genki fight.

Genki landed many punches on the over sized Oozaru. He was much faster then Strum and he knew it.

"How dare you rape her you monster!!" Genki's wings caught fire as he powered up his own attack. Holly watched knowing he was furious about her being raped; it hurt him almost as much as it did her, and she could see it in his eyes the night she told him.

"Holly are you alright?" Tiger and the others came up to her.

"I'm fine…" she never took her eyes off Genki. Unfortunately for Genki, Strum had anticipated a move a beat him up a bit.

"Your a fool Sakura"

"Am I?" Genki took to the air his wings a flame gaining altitude he dove straight at Strum. "Phoenix Inferno!" his body was covered in flames his form disappeared leaving a flaming creature that took the form of a phoenix. He passed by Strum using his claws, who fell to his knees gripping his stomach unable to breath. Genki soar back up into the air circling his phoenix flames disappearing and gathering into a giant ball of intense fire. "Solar Wind Destructor!" he threw the fireball straight at Strum, who was incinerated almost instantly. The rest of the soldiers took off not wanting to be next as Genki landed falling to his knees gasping for air. Holly ran over to him in shock.

"Are you alright? How did you do that?"

"I'll… be…fine…I…can…explain…later..." Holly helped him up supporting him while he caught his breath. After he stopped panting he stood on his own looking around at them all. "Lets get going, we have to keep moving to stop them from getting a foot hold in this world." Holly watched him very concerned.

~ …Genki what is wrong…I know there is something bothering you… ~ He looked over at her for a moment.

~ …I will tell you later love I promise… ~ She smiled nodding. "Pixie and Big Blue you go with Kattana. Everyone else let's go." Genki, Holly, and Jax all went to the jets as Hare and sky took two choppers. Kattana got the rest in with her and took off in the cargo chopper.

At a military base 120 miles away…

A young woman was chained to a bed, her blue eyes widened as a figure stepped through the cell door.

"You're a foolish girl. Just tell me what I want to know and you won't get hurt." Her face was stoic not a single emotion showing, she had been caught off guard when she first saw him.

"Mike why are you doing this? We are friends."

"No, we were friends Sergeant Ziahtenu" he stepped forward into the light his body was a large cats the fur on his sides and back was spotted like a leopards, on his legs and face is was tiger stripped, and his belly and tail were pure panther black. His face was built like a leopard's, while his body was built like a tiger's in musculature. She studied him for a moment.

"So they turned you into a Striker." Her voice as blank as her face.

"Yes, and it's a beautiful form don't you agree?" he smirked, she refused to respond to him. "Now give me the blue prints."

"Not on you life. I will not give you what you will misuse." He voice blank again. He smacked her across the face.

"You should reconsider." She remained silent staring firmly into his golden eyes. "Very well then." He sat on the bed next to her stroking her dirty blonde hair. Her slim figure stressed to break the bonds that held her but to no avail. "Your only 22 it'd be a shame to have to torture such a beautiful creature, Dianna." He smirked; she closed her eyes refusing to answer him yet again. He punched her jaw, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. She remained stoic almost as if she felt no pain. Sergeant Dover slammed his fist into her stomach this time returning a response of her crying out breathlessly, the pain to great to ignore. "Now lets get your torture started." He grins sadistically.

Mean while…

The rebels were close to Dover's base.

"Holly time for us to drop down over."

"Alright over." As they descended and came in for a sweep of the base a siren went off and the men scrambled to get to their jets. Genki destroyed several on his sweep Jax doing the same. Holly destroys many jets trying to avoid the people. 8 jets had managed to get off the ground and now the 3 were locked in a dogfight with them. Kattana landed her chopper while Hare and Sky took on the ground crews. Once landed the monsters geared up along the rest of the Alpha Squadron and started their assault on the ground crew.

In a locked cell…

Dianna lay beaten and tired on the bed still chained, Dover was still torturing her but she had zoned out on him not feeling any of the pain he was causing. She just wished this could be over with. He had already blocked her ability to shift with some form of drug and now he was having his fun. * He seems to love torturing people…and here I thought he was a nice guy. Evil has seized his heart and blinded him. His sister must have been the last thing holding him together * her body tensed as he tried a new form of torture hoping to affect her mentally and not just physically. He failed to reach her mind though and stopped after hearing the ruckus leaving her in the cold room. Her mind drifted into unconsciousness from the physical pain now.

Out side…

Genki, Holly, Jax, Hare, and Sky had all landed and geared up. They all fought their way into the base now taking many hits along the way. Genki and Holly shifted and used their powers to prevent any further injuries. Finally, Genki saw Dover waiting for them.

"Sergeant Mike Dover… It's be awhile."

"That it has Lieutenant Sakura, too bad you're on the wrong side this time. Oh by the way, I have an old acquaintance of yours here. You remember Sergeant Ziahtenu, right?"

"Let her go Mike. You have hurt her enough! All she did was try to help you."

"I never needed her help but that doesn't matter now. She belongs to me Genki." Genki roared with rage scaring the others, who had never heard him so angry before. Dover roared in return but Genki was louder.

"She is not your possession Mike!!"

"Well that's your opinion." He threw a gas grenade at them. Genki tried to get rid of it but was over come like the others and fell to the ground out cold. With his men all gone Dover took Dianna and left to find a place to hide.

In a cavern 2 miles away…

Dianna woke to find herself bound and shifted. All that remained of her clothes was some really short shorts. Her hands were behind her back and her feet tied to near by stalagmites, even her wings are bound. Groggily she glanced around to see Dover, she had hoped he would be gone. He smirked and walked behind her and pressed a knife to her throat. "On your knees" she didn't move till he began to cut into her. Then she obeyed getting to her knees despite her bindings. "Good my little kitten"

"I don't' belong to you Mike." Her voice emotionless.

"You do now." He then gagged her before she could respond. She tried to break her bonds finding that impossible. She heard a zipper open behind her and the click of a gun….

At the base….

Genki was the first to wake, coughing like mad at first. Once he regained his breath he shook the others awake. They all coughed as he had. The Alpha Squadron shifted and picked up Dover's scent leading the rebels straight to a cliff.

"He's up there in the cavern." Jax pointed up the cliff side.

"Geez what a coward." Suezo commented rather tired.

"I'll go alone," Genki stated.

"But Genki we…"

"Holly, he's afraid of me because he can't win in a fight. He knows that as well as I do. Just make sure he can't escape." Holly sighed.

"Alright." He spread his wings and flew up to the cavern's ledge landing there. The Alpha Squadron climbed up after him but took positions surrounding the cavern. Once everyone was ready Genki entered the cavern. Immediately seeing Dover holding a gun to Dianna's head.

"Mike don't make this any harder then it already is."

"Like you can do anything about it."

"She won't die from a shot to the head and you know it."

"Maybe, maybe not." Dianna studied Genki trying to figure out who he was.

"Mike would your sister want you doing this? Would she want you to hurt your friends?" Dover tensed, frozen; he looked shocked for some reason like he had forgotten his sister. "Mike I know she wouldn't want you hurting us like this." * whoever he is he knows Mike and his family *

"She wouldn't?…" his voice was now shaky.

"No, mike she wouldn't. You know she was always there for us all no matter what. Always trying to help not hurt. She would never want you treating Dianna as a possession either." * he knows me too? * Mike fell to his knees.

"I broke my promise…" he pointed the gun to his head.

"Mike no don't!" *Bang!!* The shot echo through the cavern and outside. Genki saw Mike's veins turn purple and blotch with the poison that had been inside the bullets. * He could have killed her or me * seeing as he could do nothing for Mike now he walked over to Dianna. Carefully untying her and pulling the gag off. "You alright?"

"Yes, who are you?" he raised a brow.

"Its me Genki Sakura." Her eyes widened in recognition.

"It's been awhile Genki." He voice monotone as usual. He shook his head smiling.

"Can you fly?"

"Sure can."

"Good, we'll treat your wounds later." She spread her dove's wings testing them and putting her feathers back in their proper positions. Genki smiled "The forgotten angel a very beautiful and powerful form, one of a kind."

"Your destroyer form is the same."

"Yes, but you don't look as mismatched as I do and I'm not one of a kind anymore." He gave her a wink. She shook her head. Her body was of a large cat's, her short and thick legs were of a snow leopard's with a tiger's musculature her head was also of a snow leopard's but with and artic fox's ears. Her tail was of an artic fox with the length of a snow leopard's. Her sides and front limbs were spots but her face and rear legs were striped like a Siberian tiger's. With a pure white tail and belly of the artic fox. Her wings were pure white of a dove making her look angelic. Her icy blue eyes contrasted her fur well. "Lets go" she nodded flying after him gracefully, she noticed Holly's form immediately * he must care for her and visa versa * only when she landed did she realize how much damage Dover had done. Genki caught her before she could fall. "I thought you said you were fine?" he raised a brow. She smiled weakly and he shook his head. "Siren can you find her some clothes please? Holly can you help me with her wounds?" Siren ran off as Holly went over to her small pack to get the medical supplies needed. Genki held Dianna while Holly treated her wounds. Dianna grimaced a little at the pain of the antibiotics, but soon the grimace faded to a face of stone. Holly finished bandaging her up and Siren gave her the clothes. Genki spread his wings and Holly did the same as they helped her dress. Though for now she was covered by fur she wouldn't be soon. After this Genki hosted her onto his back. Dianna looked like she was about to protest. "Don't even think about it."

"Fine" she stated in her usual monotoned way. * He knows me too well *

"Lets go we should get back before night fall." Unintentionally, she fell asleep on his back. Holly walked beside Genki rather concerned.

"Looks like she fell sleep on you Genki" Suezo commented.

"Not surprising. He tortured her she's probably exhausted."

Within about 30 minutes they arrived back at the base where their stuff was. Genki sat her down by a large elm covering her up with a blanket.

"When she wakes I'll still need to tend to a few wounds." Holly stated softly.

"Alright"

"I don't think you should be there." She hinted as to why with her look.

"I understand don't worry Holly." Mocchi and Hare had a pile of firewood built already both shivering from the cold a little. Genki snapped his fingers sending a fire blazing to life.

"Thank you chi"

"Your welcome Mocchi." Genki sighed and grabbed the cooking pot setting it in the fire. Jax brought him over the water and he poured half in the pot and half in a kettle to make some tea. Holly put a tea bag in and brought over some vegetables. "Hang on a moment Holly" she gave him a confused look as her jogged off to the supplies returning with some jerky.

"What on earth is that?"

"Its beef jerky. Basically it's dried out meat. Is keeps longer this way. I'll re-hydrate in water." She shook her head and cut up the veggies. Adding potatoes, carrots, and some spinach to the mix. Genki threw in a chuck of the jerky, which was pepper seasoned and hickory smoked. Soon a wonderful smell filled the air a smell that Dianna awoke to. She glanced around at the others studying them and holding the pain in that she felt as she sat up. "Hey your awake. How you feeling?" she looked directly at him.

"I've felt better." Her voice monotone, her signature style of speaking. Holly was unsure of what to think of this at the moment.

"Well now that your awake I can finish treating your wounds."

"That's not necessary…miss" she said for lack of a better thing to call Holly.

"My name is Holly. I know you can regenerate but it will still speed up the process if you wounds are not infected." Dianna looked to Genki who nodded.

"Go ahead then we can all eat when you get back." His voice soft and gentle. She sighed and nodded. Holly got up and motioned her to follow. She slowly got to her feet and followed Holly into the cargo plane. Genki smiled and took Holly's place of stirring the stew.

"So how do you know her?" Hare asked.

"We were child hood friends. She was the only girl to ever speak to me at school. Most considered me weird."

"You were weird…" Pixie interjected. Genki gave her a halfhearted glare.

"Anyway I knew her father quite well and we had similar interests."

"Personally I think she's weird talking that way." Suezo commented.

"Suezo her father trained her to never show emotion as a child. She has only showed her emotions around me that I know of. She trusts me but she will learn to trust you too. Just give her a fair chance. Never judge a book by its cover."

Holly and Dianna soon returned both looked tired to Genki's trained eyes. He looked at all the others studying them. * I may be pushing them too far. The soldiers can handle it but my friends cannot. * Genki moved as Holly took her seat and tested the soup. Nodding to Genki he grabbed the bowls holding them as she filled them up then passing them out. Making sure to give Dianna hers 4th. Holly and Genki got theirs last eating slowly and enjoying the soup both could feel a larger hunger but would not feed it now. Dianna finished and watched the others not sure if she wanted to talk with them or not.

"Do you want seconds?" Pixie asked making the attempt to be gentle.

"Yes, please." Pixie took her bowl and refilled it then returned it to her. "Thank you…"

"My names Pixie. And you're very welcome" Genki and Holly didn't say a word, not wanting to discourage either of them, and Holly shot a glare to both Hare and Suezo to reinforce her decision with them. They both gulped and kept their mouths shut other then to eat. Genki stood stretching.

"We should get some rest." Everyone nodded. Pixie stayed near Dianna drinking her tea as Holly got her own tea and walked over to Genki who was laying out there sleeping bag. She handed him a mug. "Thank Holly." She smiled and sipped her tea and he sat down next to her knowing she wanted to talk.

"Genki how did you do that fire attack?" He looked down as if debating on how to word it or something.

"When they started this Beast Soldier program the stem cells they needed from a creature that already had the power…they came from me…the phoenix took over my body after the final battle, too weak to maintain its own body any more. It's the phoenix's power that allows me to attack like that not the beast soldiers. Your power is of a phoenix too one that was dormant for years. The blue phoenix was a phoenix of ice. There is one other I know of but I have not seen it." Holly looked at him in shock. "This whole thing was my fault."

"No, it wasn't you didn't know all this would happen. And together we can fix things." He looked over at her unsure of what to think or feel. He finished his tea and walked over to the sleeping bag and climbed in. Holly was worried now; finishing her tea she climbed in with him snuggling with him. "What's wrong love?"

"I feel a lust in side me all the time now, Holly. Nothing satisfies it except to rape and murder. I have been fighting it so long but I'm not sure how much longer I can fight it." Holly rested her head on his chest.

"Then rape me Genki, just don't hurt anyone else. I would rather have you do this with me then others. I feel a lust like that too but I ignore it. We can help each other together."

"I won't hurt you like that. You've already been through enough rape, Holly." She learned up and kissed him. He slowly calmed down and she broke the kiss.

"We can get through this together. We'll leave the others for some private time soon, alright?"

"I guess." He cuddled with her closing his eyes to sleep Holly smiled and was asleep almost instantly. Pixie sat next to Dianna still they were the last two awake.

"Dianna, Genki says you were childhood friends."

"That's right we live in the same apartment complex."

"From the look you gave Holly you like Genki am I right?" Caught off guard by the question she looked at her raising a brow.

"Genki and I were like brother and sister. I did not feel for him that way Pixie. I just want to make sure he doesn't get hurt like before. He was rather devastated when Christina left him. He ended up staying with me for a little while trying to recover from that. I did what I could; I just don't want to see him in that type of pain again."

"Ah I understand. I'm sorry I took that the wrong way. Holly won't hurt him she's too gentle and worried about others feelings for that." Pixie sipped her tea relaxing against the elm. Dianna watched her for a moment then glanced at the others.

"Don't worry about that."

"The monsters and Holly are trust worthy Dianna. Other wise Genki would not have us around. And his old friends over there must be trust worthy too though I don't know them yet."

"I'll trust Genki's judgment then. He's never led me astray before." She lay down and covered up.

"Sleep well Dianna"

"You as well Pixie" she mumbled before drifting off. Pixie smiled and walked over to sleep against big blue.
