Solomon looked through the observation room at the tanks. The only two survived the attack at the Regent's estate. If you want to call it surviving. Both survivors were too dangerous to ever let them to gain consciousness. He watched as they began to seal the tanks. They will be shipped to Vorschlag Industries for biotech testing.

"Sir, how do we need to list them in the database?" The assistant asked.

"List them as deceased." Khan took one last look and left the lab.

It had been at least 20 years since the specimen where brought to the facility. The Jade Emperor was now the new Regent. He consolidated all of fractions and killed of the leaders. He took an underworld operation and made it a military application. The research on orbo and the human genome was taken one step further.

The Jade Emperor took the information and began to create the ultimate soldier. He was able to fuse humans with non-human DNA to create the perfect solider. The United States was the first to pay to have the technique used on select soldiers.

The field tests were successful. However the soldier would die not to long after an assignment.

That was to be expected. The US continued to fund the research. And helped the Jade Emperor detain select witches for the military application. Solomon HQ was relegated to monitoring witches. That did not set will with many of the superiors but could not do anything about it.

The Jade emperor ruled for 20 years and he made Vorschlag Industries the world leader in biotech equipment and military application of genetic research.

Dr. Hamilton looked up from the original tanks with the source of genetic material for their project Genesis. The life signs had weakened over the years but they still were alive. The project Genesis was almost ready for phase 2 but Julian Sanzo has held it back. He did not think the current risk levels was acceptable and made them rework some of the research using his information. That upstart bastard. It pissed Dr. Hamilton even more that the young man was right. It won't belong before you will be in one of these tanks Julian Sanzo.

It had taken years just to get this far.

Amon was smart to keep her out of the killing of Regent. Her mind was sharper. not that she had also experimented on herself many times but on others. Secretly. Nothing took them away.

Alexie had tried to help her.

To escape the 'death' that awaited her and Amon and Bastian. Amcreva's heart ached for all that time as well. Her front at home was one of an old woman trying to live the glory days. Inside finally she got somewhere where her powers always where in use. Where she was the most powerful person.

She led her research to become appointed where HE was. Nights she had cried because she made mistakes. Misreading the visions that her gods sent her. Because of him she regained control and had something... Someone in reality to hold onto.

She owed him her life.

He owed her nothing.

It was the board meeting. She tapped into the Bosses mind. he mentioned the new interns and some other mindless crap.

Inside she knew finally this day had come. She had been on assignment where The holding tanks where. She knew witch one they all called 'Snowman' Because more than once he had frozen the inner glass of the tank. Twice they sought to rid of him. Twice... Something just told them not to.

Amcreva had no plan to get him out. The brother was next. Her priorities where with Amon.

The boss had sexual relations with Amcreva as well. Since she knew what he liked and what got him off. She just knew these things. She deserved this newer job. This one of great importance.

Amcreva and him deliberated after each day. He mentioned it. She took it no questions asked. As norm she would be his little whore at night.

In Amcreva's mind she knew she could not be forgiven for this.

6 months later.

His tank was frozen again. Amcreva had come up with a special kind of glass that not freeze and become brittle. It was all a ploy. she had used a little manipulating when it came down to it. that's all it took. He had heard her voice. his body floated but the beeper went off. "Why won't he just give up?" Amcreva shook her head. "Maybe he still had something to hold onto in this life." Amcreva in her heart really didn't know. Why he did. The vats of Orbo stopping her from looking and knowing all about her... what was it she felt?

In the six months she had been able to lace up some nodes, forge paperwork and manage to lie her way into everyone's hearts. Even some of the scientists hearts. It was soon. It was so soon.

The nodes she had been lacing up exercising the muscles, The mind. To bring them out of atrophy. Hopefully they would work. It would take them only a few weeks to become the normal... they both remained the same within the tanks.

Didn't they remain the same?

It was time the witch had been transferred. The gun lay in her pocket. Her military contacts managed to scare some of her 'co-workers' to co operate. She could hide she had done it for years. So imbedded, so perfect. His limp body fell across hers. Perhaps in that 20 years the Orbo sucked his powers out. Her gun was out, shoot those who she hadn't converted to her cause. The elevator opened with her other men and woman consorts. Amcreva said coldly as they put them in the back of the van. "I will have the money transferred into your shadow accounts three days from now." The men tossed the linens on Amon and Bastian. It looked as if they hardly aged. The Orbo couldn't extend life could it? She drove with her face mask on. The scanner took her card. Scanning the pupils of her eyes. The front opened with a soft male voice, "See you tomorrow Elena Avanttez" Her hands remained calm. Austin helped the best he could to put them in separate beds. Hopefully they would wake soon. and hopefully the electrodes Amcreva had been using worked.

She waited beside the bed. Checking them, heartbeats and pressure.

"Amon... Wake up Amon."

She wasn't going to tell him about Austin. Because Austin didn't know either.

"Amon, You've slept for long enough..."

Several Scientist headed towards the tanks. They were talking about the latest gossip.

"Did you hear that the Jade Emperor has a daughter? From what I have been told she is a looker." The assistant said.

"But I thought he was sterile." The second assistant said

"Shh don't even talk about it. That could sign you death. JE may want his daughter to have children and that is how he will pass on his billions."

"Speaking of passing on, Julian Sanzo has gone AWOL. It is said that he had thing for JE daughter and now they are both missing. On top of that the major portion of the project Genesis is missing. We were told to go forward with the field test anyway. It seems that there is trouble brewing in the Middle East and we will be sending 40 modifieds into to battle."

The superior said with excitement. "Just think we used the DNA patterns from our two veggies in there."

The scientist walked into the room that held the tanks and saw that they had been opened. One of them ran and hit the alarm. Lock down immediately occurred.

Jade Emperor sat at his desk when he got the call from his executive.

"Emperor it seems that both CMS03 and CMS04 have been taken."

JE was silent. Then he spoke in a calm voice. "I want you to kill everyone involved in this disaster. Find out who did this. Use what ever means necessary to bring those specimens back.

Amcreva heard the convosations and the words. Her fists clenched. They may be witches but they where still living things. No one had the right... To assign numbers. No one. Austin and her had packed everything up. Just in case. She went over to Austin and touched upon his shoulder.

"Kadassa," She spoke softly looking into Amon's eyes. Passed flawlessly to Austin. Her head rested on his shoulder. "I should have told you the danger I put myself in when I started this. I didn't and there are many things that I have failed to tell you. You will know soon. But for now." She picked up the last box in her condo. "I must run now. I am a target, And I know that JE will not forgive me ... Unless I strike up a deal with him. But I will not willingly sit down and allow him to deal with Amon and Bastain as if they are things... toys to be experimented with. I'll go to hell and back but I will not tolerate his slime. He is Worse than Regent."

Her anger swelled she wanted to kill him. Rip out his Neck and feed it to him as he sucked in his own blood and drowned on it. She would watch as he faltered and his eyes clouded. Untill the last rip of death raced into him. Than she would lick his blood off her hands and laugh like a mad woman. For she had indeed gone mad.

Austin looked darkly at his mother. "Mother, I know your hate spreads for all who do not appreciate life. Have no fear my cases are dealing with JE"

Amcreva nodded. She passed the box to Austin. Promise me you'll be safe. Even though I know no one knows of your bloodline to me and ..."

Austin smirked "Amon?"

Amcreva was taken aback. "Yes..." She looked down. "I didn't want to know of his fate. I didn't want to know of the horrors that faced us. It seems so hopeless. I should be happy for you. You where born with this burden and you never complain. Only when you had nightmares. I love you Austin . I love you as a mother only can. I wanted the best for you but my curse will pass to you and even you know we will lose it... We will lose control one day. My time was long overdue. Amon kept me here as you did."

Austin Embraced his mother. "Just because you passed something that was passed to you unwillingly doesn't make it your fault. I know what Regent did to you and I know that Amon is my father. It's in the shape of his face. He looks very much like me. Enough he may have been my brother..."

Amcreva nodded and kissed him. "Now get going. I have to see if I can rouse them."

Amcreva entered the room the only thing left was the ratty blankets on Amon and Bastian. The twin beds looking much to small for them. There DNA had been extracted and they had been in there for too long. Amcreva heard Amon's breathing. Bastain however breath seemed scarce.

Like he was in deep sleep. She lay a hand on Amon, Prying into his mind sending his the sun and cool rain upon him. Dark nights of passion and light of the full moon. Calm and cool. Her eyes bare into his lids of his. She wanted him to look at her. Take her breath away with the stunning depthless eyes.

She looked around. Seeking his dark seeds. His mind fought in her intrusion. "Why don't you love Amcreva?" She asked him in a masked voice. The dark seeds throbbed.

She pried them. "Let me in..."

Amon was dreaming a never ending nightmare of harsh voices and rough hands. Silence and believable silence. He relived the betrayal of Solomon, after they took down the Regent. The shock on Bastian's face when they tranq them before the reinforcements came.

At first he could hear Bastian's words in his head. He remembered how furious the doctors had been and increased the drug level. For a while he did not hear Bastian's voice in his head. Then he hear it, it was faint but there. He latched on to it trying not to go insane.

Amon tried to fight the best he knew how. He actual liked Bastian. He risked his life. Flashes of bright light broke up the never ending darkness. He could feel the needles dig into his skin and the shame of being helpless and naked to people who only saw him as a tool to be used. When he began to freeze the glass casing everyone panicked. Bastian kept removing the bolts that held their tank together. He also affected the amount of drugs flowing down the tubes. That all changed when a Dr. Nii came to visit. Blackness and silence that is all that was left.

Now someone kept yelling at him. A voice he did not recognize. He hurt. He wished they would stop yelling and let him die. Out of irritation Amon spoke. "Will you stop yelling at me I am not deaf?" His voice from years of non-use cracked and was barely audible.

Amon's voice cut into her like a razor. Amcreva hand went up and she fell back on the floor, the chair clattering beside her. "Amon, Amon!" Her eyes where large. "Your Alive!" She stopped.

It wasn't the right response though... But he told her to stop right? He had fought all this time. No way he had to be insane now? He couldn't have lost it in her time of sending him all the things that had changed, had taught him and struggled with him to show him what had been happening.

Her eyes where cold and she knew that time was running out. "Amon wake up you git! You know me. It's ... It's..."

Her hand showed him, Her head moved in and she kissed him on the lips. Demanding he respond to her warmth. Her softness on his. He showed him what they shared, Hoping that he remembered. Dreaming it was real.

Her hands grasped at his biceps. "Amon, I am being hunted. I cannot stay. Please open your eyes."

The voice became more instant. Who did he know was that irritating? Amon brain seemed to be slowly functioning as he tried to place the voice. Amcreva? But he told her to run. Why she can not follow simple instructions.

But that can not be right.

His external senses began to fire up. He could feel tingling in his fingers and toes. Then a touch on his lips. A kiss. He slowly opened his eyes. Things were fuzzy and unclear. As he focused he realized it was a woman. A middle aged woman. She looked a lot like Amcreva. Amon whispered. "Where am I?"

Everything was on fire and hurt. He turned his head and saw Bastian. He tried to reach him and felt the spark. He was not dead. Amon called his name. There was a response. Amon sent to him. We are free.
