Chapter 2: Carried off
"Torn! Could you hear me! What the hell's going on! Is it the Metal Heads again!" Ashelin yelled through the communicator. Keira and Ashelin were running through the streets as Tess was riding on Keira's shoulder, the crowd were going inside the buildings for shelter like all times, and the Freedom Guards were running at the same direction they are going.
"No, there's a new threat that passed the two defenses outside Haven City, Ash. I tried contacting Spargus City and Kras City, but something's blocking off the communication. Be careful, Ash. These are not ordinary shits we are going to fight." Torn said.
"What do you mean?" The governess asked.
"Have you ever fought others that have feathered wings?" Ashelin and Keira stopped, and the three girls yelled.
"WHAT!"
"What do you mean 'feathered wings'? They just fly in the sky while fighting on the ground?" Ashelin asked.
"Exactly. That's what my men reported. Be careful, Ashelin. They looked like they will fight whatever it means to get here. They already broke through the two defenses outside of the city. I already sent Jak out in the battlefield." Torn warned before the communicator turned off.
"Damn." The she-elf cursed and took out her pistol. Keira had a worried expression on her face for her best friend. Ashelin looked at the blue haired she-elf and smiled.
"Don't worry, Keira. Jak and I are going to be fine. You and Tess should find a safe place until they are all gone." Keira sighed and nodded. Jak and Ashelin could take care of themselves, so Keira didn't worry about them too much. However, she is still worried about them because of the new threat. She cautioned Ashelin.
"Be careful, Ash. You and Jak better make it in one piece, or the kids and I will be very angry with you." Keira turned around and ran the opposite direction. She searched for any buildings around the area that were not too crowded. Tess and Keira were still searching for a vacant place as Keira ran faster.
"Keira! Slow down! I can't hold on!" Tess yelled as she gripped on the cloth for her life. Keira slowed down to a stop and helped her furry friend back to her shoulder.
"Sorry, Tess."
"Keira!" The two friends looked where the caller's voice came from. It was the woman who was taking care of the five orphaned children. Tess and Keira looked at each other and nodded before they ran inside the house. The woman closed the door and locked while the five children were surrounding Keira.
"Keirry! What's happening outside?" One of the young elves asked. Keira shook her head.
"I don't know."
"Where's Ashley?" One of the young she-elves spoke. Keira turned her head to the one who spoke.
"Ashley will be fine. She's out there driving away the bad people with Jak and the others."
"Keira..." The blue-haired looked up to the woman who wanted to talk to her. The she-elf looked down to the children.
"Kids, your mother and I need to talk now. Don't go anywhere." The children nodded as Keira walked to the woman.
"What is it?" Keira asked in a whisper to the woman.
"Keira, what's happening outside?" Keira shook her head.
"I don't know, but there's a new threat outside that passed the two defenses outside. I can't give you all the details, but there is a new enemy outside."
"Is the governess outside to fight these new enemies?" Keira nodded.
"Yeah." Then, they heard the start of massive shooting outside. They also heard men yelling and woman screaming.
"Oh... Mar..." Tess gasped. Keira turned her head back to the woman and the children. She grabbed the woman's hand and dragged her to the basement.
"Everyone! Go down to the basement!" The children nodded and ran to the door nearby. Keira opened the door and let the children go first, then the woman, and finally herself inside and locked the door. Keira turned to her precursor friend and whispered.
"Is everyone here?" Tess turned around and counted. Yep, everyone was present.
"Yeah. All six are present." Keira sighed in relief but held her breath when she heard the gun shots coming closer. There were crashes, screaming, and yelling that she couldn't hear. The only thing she could hear is "Push them back while we search for her," "She's not here," and "Search thoroughly of the inside of the buildings." Keira cursed and ran down the stairs. She looked everywhere for another passage for the adopted family. She found one and grabbed the rug to be tossed aside. There was a trapped door beneath it, and Keira grabbed the handle and held it up.
"Everyone, get inside!" Keira ordered. She knew that she couldn't fit inside the trapdoor with the others, but it was worth it to save a family. The woman and the children were looking at her with concern. The children disagreed and wanted her to come hide with her.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." Keira smiled at them. They nodded in defeat and trusted her as they jumped inside the trapped door. Before Keira could close, one of the youngest elf held out a pinky.
"Keirry?" The blue-haired she-elf looked at the little elf.
"Promise me. Promise us... that you'll survive this." Keira smiled and grabbed his pinky finger with hers.
"Alright. I promise." They both let go, and Keira closed the door before she covered it with a rug again.
"Tess." The female precursor looked at the she-elf.
"Hide somewhere."
"What?"
"Hide somewhere."
"I'm not leaving a best friend behind!"
"Tess, do not make me say the same damn thing. I would not let anyone in this house or in my life be captured or killed." She almost had a whiplash when the sound of the door was crashed open and stomping sounds were heard from above. She sighed and clenched her fists.
"If my sister was here, she would.. she would tell the exact the same thing and risk her life for me." Tess was amazed of how courageous the blue-haired she-elf is. She was risking her life for the children's future and others. Tess sighed in defeat. She whispered before running to somewhere safe around the basement.
"Don't die on all of us." Keira gave Tess a small smile before putting on her determined face. Then, the door was smashed open as the bright light blinded her. She shielded her eyes with her arms from the lights as three large figures shadowed over her. Keira looked up and noticed the figures.
They were elves like her, but they were wearing white armor on their body, a helmet with the two strange wings that was colored black and the other outlined on the front of the helmets. They were carrying guns like the other Freedom Guards, but they also had an electric shield that emitted black electricity. They had white masks with one eye hole on either the right side or the left side. The only thing that was separated between her and the enemies are the wings. One had white wings while the other two had black. She was frightened by this but didn't let her stubborn expression facade. They walked down the stairs like normal elves but didn't lose eye contact with the she-elf in front of them. They stopped where she stood and surrounded her. Keira assumed that the white winged elf was the leader of this group.
"Is this the one?" One of the black winged elf asked. The white winged elf held his forearm out and pressed a button to reveal a hologram of the image. The hologram shuts off, and the white winged elf spoke.
"Kayt Hagai..." Keira's eyes widened to hear what he said.
"What did you call me?" She asked. However, the elf ignored her and continued.
"Capture her." He ordered the two black winged elves. One of the black winged elves rose his gun behind him and hit her hard between the eyes by the end of the gun. She only heard the children and the woman screaming out her name before she blacked out.

"Wake up."
"..."
"Wake up, Keira."
"..."
"Oh! For the wuv of- Wake up, squirt!"
The vision started to be blurry at first. However, the vision became a little clearer. The back ground was a tree filled with white flowers. She was looking up in the sky and felt grass blades on her bare arms and legs. She met a young girl with blue hair with green highlights that was put up in two pigtails. She was smiling as her emerald sparkle with joy.
"Keira! You woke up!" She smiled even more. Keira wanted to cry and yell out her name, but she couldn't speak in her normal language.
"Kay!" She blurbed out. Keira wanted to be wide-eyed but now giggled instead as her mini hands reached for the older girl. Wait... mini hands? She was back into a baby once again! She felt tears coming around her eyes and streamed down to her baby fat cheeks. Kayt panicked around before picking up the baby Keira.
"Shhh... don't cwy. I'm hea. Also, mommy is wif us." Keira stopped crying and felt Kayt hug her. She wanted to cry so bad to be so happy. She wanted to hug her sister for missing her so much. However, she felt larger and slim hands picking her up from the side. She saw the upper image of her sister. Kayt was wearing the same thing that was in her locket.
"Were you and Keira having fun, Kayt?" A feminine voice soothed through the background. Kayt just smiled and bobbled her head up and down.
"Yep! Keira's the best wittle sista I eva have!" The woman's giggle was like a lullaby to her.
"Do you also swear to protect her?" Kayt just smiled wider.
"I told you. I'll pwotect her wif my life." Keira felt the arms switching to carrying baby style. She looked up and saw a long blue haired woman with one eye that is emerald and the other purple. Keira smiled and whispered.
"Mommy..."

Keira stirred from her dream and shook her head from the dizziness. She didn't know where she was, but the breezed around her body indicated that she was in some sort of lab since it was lukewarm. However, the chilliness from the breeze made her shiver. She realized that she only had her bra and panties, and her feet and hands were covered by something metallic. Her vision was blurry, and the throbbing pain on her temples were making it worse. She squeezed her eyes shut before slowly opening them. She finally got to clear view and observed where she was.
Surrounding her, the bright lights blinded her eyes a little but made it clear on the dark background. She noticed that she was in a dark lab because glowing Dark and Light Eco were contained in tubes. Her two feet were standing and caught by a machine that looked like she was stuck to the ground. Her hands were held onto her two sides by handcuffs and chains. She looked up and gasped in fear and recognition. The laser, the mechanic hands, and the other related machine that were used reminded her something that happened two years ago. It was a similar place where the Baron and the racer, Errol, experimented Jak on Dark Eco. However, she was going to be tested on some sick experiment in whatever place they are in.
"Ah... Kayt Hagai has woken up." The she-elf looked up and growled at the three elves that were descending down.
"I am not Kayt!" She spat out in anger. "How the hell do you know her!" She struggled to break free and beat the shit out of them, but the chains were getting tighter by each moment. The three winged elves looked at each other and shook their heads in disbelief.
"Now, now. Don't lie, Kayt. We know how deceivable you are. Also, we don't want our project ruined again by your futile resistance. We all carefully have planned it out for you." A black wings covered his sides as the black haired elf smirked. He had his hair slicked back and tied into a low ponytail that reached to his shoulder blades. His green eyes were cold as ice. He was wearing a black trench coat, black baggy pants, and black combat boots with three black straps. His bare chest was muscular with a large scar that was slashed from the top left down to the bottom right.
"Be careful what you say, Ragis. She's still an important experiment." A strange winged elf crossed his arms and glared at Keira with his violet eyes. He had one white wing on his left side, and one black wing on his right. He had his brown hair spiked up while two strands of hair were down above his eyebrows. He was wearing loose pants that were gray, black traveling boots, white buttoned, long sleeved shirt, and a black vest that has many pockets on the front.
"Even though she is important, she is still dangerous, Zenif," growled Ragis.
"What do you think we should do, Gan?" Zenif asked the white winged elf. He was wearing white chest armor, white gauntlets with a sky blue gem on top of his hand, his black pants were tucked in his white armored boots. His brownish blond hair was long to his neck with the dark red eyes. He glanced to the elves and then to the she-elf. He turned around and walked away.
"You better not hurt her. You know how much I detest this damn project." He said in a monotone voice. The two elves looked at each other and shrugged. They focused on the she-elf who was struggling to break the binds.
"Let's start." The black haired elf smirked wickedly as he pushed a button. Keira screamed as she felt shocks and burns around her body. It was so painful that she felt like her body would explode from the injections. Yes, injections. At the same time, the Light and Dark Eco were injected in her body like getting chemicals inside the system. Her tears streamed down as the pain was growing on her body.
I'm sorry, everyone. I can't take it. It's too much. Please, forgive me... Torn, Ashelin, Daxter, Tess, Daddy...
Her eyes were slowly closing.
Mommy...
Her eyes were a few millimeters from completely closing.
Jak...
Dammit, squirt! You better not die on me or on your friends, or I'll havta kick your ass! Fight for them! Survive all the way! An older woman's voice boomed through her mind and woke Keira up. Keira realized about surviving this hellhole and returning to her friends were her first priority. Whoever insulted Keira and threatened her to live through this pain gave her hope.
Thanks. I owe you one, sis.
Keira gritted her teeth as she both tried to receive what they were putting in her and stay conscious at the same time. The pain started to die down as the experiment was coming close to the end. Keira panted from the excessive screaming and struggle through the torturous experiment to keep herself awake.
"Damn. She has more resistance than we anticipated." The black haired winged elf growled in defeat. The black and white winged elf nodded as a beeping sound was heard through his communicator from his left arm.
"We'll continue this later. Right now, his Majesty wants our asses up to report him about the capture of Kayt Hagai and the continuation of the 'Angelus Creation Project.'" The brown haired elf said as he shut off the communicator.
"Fine." The two elves left the she-elf alone in the lab. She felt her conscious slipping away as she thought of the reason for her abduction.
Angelus... Creation Project?

It was dark in the new city. It was almost like Haven City, but there was one huge difference. Above the sky, there were winged elves. There were many civilians and a few winged guards in the sky. There were mostly blacked winged and white winged. There were some elves have both colors. On the ground, there were normal elves walking with their two own feet. A woman was walking down normally and holding a package under her left arm.
She was wearing a brown chest armor that was covering her chest, her mid-back, and ended an inch below her breast. A red-brown shoulder armor attached to the right side of the armor, and two straps were connected from her mid-back, over her shoulders, and ended on the front sides of the chest plate. Under her armor was a navy blue tank top that was a half an inch above her bellybutton. She was also wearing a tight brown skirt that was two inches above her knees with a white line on the elastic that was holding onto her waist and her two sides. She was wearing a knee high navy blue combat boots and light brown gauntlets with a green gem on top of both of her hands. She also had a sleeve warmer on her forearms. She had a blue and green striped scarf around her neck twice as one of the end was hanging on the front of her chest and the other flying behind her.
The scarf covered her mouth to make her image harder to be recognized, even her sunglasses that were covering her eyes from the bright sun. Her earring on her left ear was a blue shard. Her mid high blue ponytail swished side to side. The she-elf sighed like she was relieved but still in distressed. Something vibrated on her left side and flashing a small red light. She sighed as she got out her mini communicator and attached a headphone with a mini speaker attached. She put the mini communicator back to her side and pushed a small button that was behind the speaker.
"Talk to me." She spoke as she found her destination and walked toward the door.
"I know." She stopped by three feet from the door when she heard yelling from the door.
"You need to get her out of that hellish project as soon as you can... ... ... what? The codes were randomized?... ... WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY!" She yelled. The yelling ceased from inside.
"Listen here, buddy. I don't care if the hellish project is heavily guarded. I want her to be safe and alive! Those two jackasses are so going to be turning into shits if they do that!... ... ... Do you know how many codes are placed in that damn palace you are living in? Do you know what is the ratio for that?... Wrong! There is like one out of a freaking million codes in there! It would take a freaking two and a half years to crack the code." She stopped yelling and listened to the other side. She sighed in frustration.
"Fine. Get Vin online, and I'll get her outta there. ...Why? You want to know why?... She's... very important for this world, and this is a very important and dangerous mission. Make sure that she survive in less than two and a half years. If she dies, I'm gonna kill you." The woman pushed the button again to hang up. The woman took her mini communicator and searched for a name to ask. She found it and pressed the call button. The door slid from the right side as the woman brushed off her highlighted hair bangs from her face and entered inside the building.
"Hey, Sig. Long time, no talk. What's up?"
