Layla was in the simulation room in some workout clothes that Lexi let her body, which fit her a bit tight and small. Her hair was up in a way that it didn't look like she had anything hidden in her hair, like her feline ears. They didn't go to Layla's place to pick up some clothes like they did for Luna. However, that meant some of the guys were oogling over how her body looked in it.
"Alright. We already put in a microchip in your arm to see what your powers could be while you fight. I'll put it in the easiest setting just in case," Tech said as he was setting up the simulator. Layla nodded with a smile.
"No problem. I'll try my best! This should be pretty fun," she said with a smile. Tech turned on the simulator once she was ready.
"Ready? Go!" A figure ran over to Layla and aimed to take her down. Layla quickly bent down a bit before giving a side kick at it and making it fly a few feet. She got back into starter position as another figure ran to her from her other side. She quickly gave a hard jab at it as it could her arm and used the motion to take her down. Layla was surprised a bit before she gave a hard kick at its legs, making it fall and disintegrate. She was keeping up on her own despite seeming like an amateur. After a few more minutes, Tech ended the simulation and the figures disappeared. Layla was panting a bit as she then walked over to the entrance. Lexi handed her a towel to wipe off any sweat.
"You did pretty well there," she complimented.
"Thanks. I learned some of those moves from work out videos I have a home. They're kind of the easiest kickboxing moves to work out," Layla explained. "That and I was in short flags in high school."
"You were in short flags? I had tried out for cheerleading , but they didn't think I was good enough."
"I'm sure you were too good for them anyways. They were probably jealous."
"She's right? I've seen some of your fights on TV and I can tell you incorporate some cheerleading stunts into it," Luna said as she walked over.
"Thanks you two," Lexi said with a smile.
"Speaking of fighting, where did you learn to fight, Luna?" Ace asked as he walked over.
"Oh. I had learned self defense when I was little," Luna explained.
"I see. Anyways, it looks like we're done over here. Why don't you goils take a break while Tech analyzes the data?" The girls nodded with a smile.
"Definitely," Lexi said.
"I need a quick shower since I sweat a bit from the simulation," Layla said.
"I'll lend you some clothes," Luna said as all three girls left. Slam, Rev, and Duck had left behind, leaving Tech and Ace alone.
"Tech, anyting on the data?" Ace asked before turned to him walked over to him.
"Same as Luna. Super strength and restrain on another power. Seemed like that was more controlled in hiding, though, because I was hardly able to detect it," Tech explained, showing his data to Ace.
"I see. Our two new recruits are quite interesting indeed. We have to inform Zadavia about this and see if she can check on anyting else on them."
"You got it, chief." Tech saved the data they gathered and started to head over to the hologramer to talk to Zadavia. Ace left as he thought about how he could get the girls to lower their defenses.
With Tech in his lab….
Tech had called Zadavia and had informed her of everything they gathered and had sent the files to her as well.
"This is indeed unbelievable," Zadavia said thoughtfully.
"No kidding. All I could notice is that the farther back we went, they looked just a little younger each time. Almost like they aged slowly. The average human lives up to their 80s. The ones that live up to 100 or a bit more is a miracle, but they're aged extremely, not young," Tech explained.
"Hmm…..there is one plausible reason for this…"
"You know something, Zadavia?"
"Well, I think I know what could be the reason they have lived for so long, but I'll have to look into it to be sure. Make sure they don't leave your sights and keep the appearance that nothing is out of the ordinary. Find the right moment to take the sword Luna guards all the time."
"Got it. I'll pass the word on to Ace."
"Good. Zadavia, out." With that, Zadavia's hologram disappeared and the room went back to normal. Tech then headed out to inform Ace on what to do.
In another location…
There was a large room that was darkly lit with a man at a desk, looking at many large monitors behind him. All that could be seen from him was his silhouette from the lighting of the monitors. On each television showed different scenes: some of the Loonatics with Ace on it, and on others were a few of Luna and Layla in many different disguises before meeting with the Loonatics. A man walked into the room and headed to the desk, the silhouette turning in his seat to him. "You called for me, sir?" he asked in a detached tone.
"Yes. How was the capture of Waning Gibbous and Crescent?" the silhouette asked. His voice was deep and intimidating, his figure intimidating as well.
"I'm sorry to say, sir, but both captures were a failure. It seemed Waning Crescent didn't catch the warning you sent and escaped with the help of three unexpected people. Waning Gibbous keeps moving location and threw us off even if we have the equipment to nullify her illusions. According to some of our agents that were able to tail Waning Crescent, both have taken refuge at Loonatics HQ," the man explained straightforwardly.
"Hmm…interesting….seems like this will be quite the interesting reunion, don't you think? Two of our escapees meeting a retired agent…Looks like we'll have to get in contact with him to get what we want. Hack into their systems with the Night Baron virus so they can't detect us and find a way for us to communicate. Make sure only 'he' gets our coded message and deciphers it. You're dismissed." The silhouette turned back to the monitors as he examined the scenes, the man leaving after a bow. "Looks like your days will have to go back to the past, little one." The silhouette let out a deep dark chuckle that could send chills down one's spine.
