Where am I? The words seemed to echo through Wales mind. He couldn't see due to the cloth tied around his eyes, but he could still speak; yell for help. But no matter how loud he seemed to call out, it felt like felt like they just bounced off the walls going un-heard to anyone. He knew where he was, somewhere inside the institute he'd sent Lucas to. He couldn't move his hands were tied behind his back and chair. He was scared, not for himself but for Lucas. He didn't know why Doji had him here.
Wales sighed, decided there wasn't anything he could do to get out his restraints. Perking up slightly he heard a door open and footsteps approaching him. "What do you know about Doji's plans?"
Groaning slightly in pain Rex opened his eyes, though it was too dark to see anything. Lucas was still passed out next to him. He sat up rubbing his head and looked around. They were in a small space with din tinted windows and two doors behind him locked. "Were in a van?"
"Why does my head hurt so badly?" Lucas asked with his face buried in his arms still.
"I think it might have something to do with that weird chemical stuff Doji released."
"Come on where is Kuro?" The two males were pacing in the small room. "
"Too bad there isn't like a microphone thingy we can talk to people through the cameras like in the moves." Rex pouted, "Why'd we get Kuro to he's taking forever."
"Be patient." Lucas sat back on the table with a sigh. Not long after the door was unlocked and someone stepped in "Kuro?"
"No, no children" Doji stood in the door way.
"YOU! Let us out of here, and stay away from the others."
"If I do that how am I supposed to go through with anything?"
"Dammit, tell us what going on!"
"You see Mr. Addams I have been working to perfect an old friends experiment. Do you have any idea of what a Chimera is? According to Greek Mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing creature of Lycia and Asia Minor. Composed of the parts of more than one animal. The Chimera is the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of monster such a Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra."
"Yeah so?" Rex asked.
"Well, I'm sure you heard of the Human-Chimera experiments that occurred a few years back."
"What?"
"The Human-Chimera experiments were dangerous experiments that scientists and professors practiced illegally with an organization called Hades Inc. The mastermind behind the whole thing was Dr. Ziggurat, a former professor at HD Academy in Japan." Lucas began to explain quietly, "When Dr. Ziggurat was interviewed and put through questioning by the FBI he simply stated that his goal was to create a Human-Chimera. He also stated that he had already perfected five other Human-Mythological beast hybrids. A boy named Damian Hart, and supposedly Dr. Ziggurats son, was Cerberus. A boy named Faust was the Lernaean Hydra. Zeo the Teumessian Fox. And Jack the Orthrus."
"What? How come I never heard of this?" Rex was shocked and a little weary about believing this.
"But there is so much more behind his reason to do it more than what the FBI discovered and what was shown to the general public. Have either of you boys heard about The Stone of Sythini Dismer?" Both boys glanced at each other in confusion. "You see Angels of Mythik was a clan that resided in the City of Ezal, A city that was believed to be associated with the Greek Gods, but the residents were mortal warriors and Fallen Hero's. There in this town there was believed to be a group of six Protectors of a stone called Sythini Dismer. This stone supposedly had the power to destroy the gods, the protectors of mankind, and grant the user the power to rule the world."
"Okay…What do we have to do with all this?"
"Well the stone still lays locked in the City of Ezal. And the prophecy of that once great city tells of the six Guardians return to reclaim this magnificent city. Not only will the Guardians will return, but also will the six Protectors of mankind."
"There are twelve of us here at the moment…so that means six of us are the Guardians and the other six are the Protectors…" Rex looked down still thinking."
"Good Job Rex, good to know you can count." Doji chuckled, "But now that you know what is really going on I cannot let you warm the others." Doji set a metallic silver box on the table before heading to the door. "I wish you luck."
"What does he mean?"

"Lucas the box thingy is realized some weird purple gas stuff." Rex back up, bumping into me.
"What?" Sure enough a dark purple gas was spreading through the small room. "Rex cover your mouth!"
"Oh, no! What's going to happen to the others!?" Rex gasped.
"I'm more worried about where he's taking us." Lucas sighed.
"My name is Akira Cross, Kuro's older sister." Akira has pale skin with bright crimson eyes. She's thin with straight/wavy snow white hair that falls near her waist and bangs brushing onto her forehead. She wears a black sweater over a red tanktop, a black knee length skirt with red and black striped knee socks with black boots going up to below her knees. Also a silver chain necklace with a crescent moon attached to it.
"Well," Wales started to say something before Akira stopped, turned to him and help a badge to his face.
"I'm with the FBI." She stated in her monotone voice. "We don't have time for questions. We have to get the children out of here and to a safe place before Doji can hurt them."
"But-"
"I told you no time for questions!"
"Guys! Guys!" Kuro ran towards the others, which were all in the dining hall for dinner.
"What is it Kuro?" Blaze asked.
"We have to get out of here, RIGHT NOW!"
"Whoa, what are you talking about?" Evei cut in.
"DOJI KIDNAPPED LUCAS AND REX AND DID OTHER BAD THINGS AND TEMPEST IS IN ON IT AND WE HAVE TO LEAVE BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO US!"
"Calm down will you" Yami said from across the table.
"Now Kuro I suggest you stop yelling and you all follow us, Doji's requested you all in the lab right this moment." Nami and her twin brother Namu walked in with Tempest not far behind. At the sight of Tempest everyone laughed.
"What?" He asked sounding angry. "Dammit you little brats better tell me!" he growled.
"Why do you have a mustache drawn onto your face!?" Namu growled.
"What?" He glanced at Kuro. "Kuro you little brat you did this when you stole my key!"
"I'm working with complete idiots…" Nami sighed. "Never mind him and get to the lab!"
"Wait kids don't listen to her!" Wales and Akira ran in, Akira had he gun in hand. "FBI, now discard all weapons on you and get on your knees you three" She growled, "People like you disgust me, kidnapping, illegal test, all that shit. Beating up this poor boy!" She referred to Lucas.
"I'm the same age as you!"
"Shut up." She said.
"Selene, long time no see. I haven't seen you since a few years back, when I was working with Ziggurat."
"That's not my name. Now get on your knees!"
"1, 2, 3 Now!" Both Lucas and Rex ran and broke through the vans back door. They both hit the dirt road. The van kept driving off until it was out of sight. "Come on were not far from the institute, we have to get the others out of there and figure out our next move once were all safe. The two boys began the long walk, but was stopped by a figure in the road. She had long raven hair tied back with intense green eyes and pale skin tone. She wore beige cargo shorts rolled up to her knees, a black tanktop and combat boots. She had a gun in her left hand.
"I am Aki Cross, FBI." She stated, raising the gun to Rex in the process.
Bang!
A gun went off in the dining hall. The bullet grazed Tempest's left shoulder and got Nami in her leg. "Step aside of I'll shoot you." A pink haired girl with tan skin and emerald green eyes stood behind the three. She was wearing white jeans, a brown vest over her white long sleeved shirt completed with white running shoes. An FBI badge was around her neck.
"Echo Simms, I had this all under control!" Akira shouted, clearly mad.
"Relax partner" She said in a calm voice. "Now let's get everyone out of here and to safty."
"But what about Rex and Lucas? They went missing last night." Frieda said with worry.
"Hey where's Aki?" Echo looked around "She was behind me while we were walking here."
That's when everyone heard the gunshot from outside.
