AN: This chapter is back in Cameron's point of view.

Chapter 17: Their Ours!: One more

I only remember bits and pieces after I was knocked out, I was put in a car and had a bag put over my head. There was a lot of road time and at one point I heard someone talking. The next thing I remember was being drug out of the car and pulled somewhere. Once the bag was removed I realized I was in some kind of underground complex.

"Where am I?" I asked, the man next to me chuckled

"You're in our base and factory, we kept back ups of our copyrights here just in case we lose them or they are stolen, this is also where the prototypes were built." HE said

"You are rather open for this being a secret base." I said, he chuckled again, that was gonna get old fast. Suddenly two things dawned on me, one they still had the copyrights and b the Enforcer and it's sheath were missing. "Where is the Enforcer?" I asked

"Enforcer? You named the knife you were carrying?"

"Yes, now where is it?"

"It's being held onto by some people for you." He said.

"Sniper without a knife." I grumbled under my breath, we arrived at what appeared to be a long hallway of cells.

"Put him in with the inactivateable one." The man said, the guard that was with us dragged me down to the third door and tossed me in. closing and locking the door behind me. The room was small, it had a bed, sink, toilet, and a small window. The door was solid save for the small window in the upper portion of it. I noticed what appeared to be another person huddled in the corner.

"Hey, are you ok?" I asked walking over and shaking her shoulder. It was then that I realized that this girl had speakers for arms and wasn't breathing. My mind flashed back to what the man had said. "So you're a Vocaloid to huh? Well isn't that nice." Now I have seen and helped Mack run maintenance on his girls that I was pretty sure I could fix this one. I rolled her over on her stomach and opened up the back panel, there were no visible problems from this angle, however there must be some reason it isn't running. I closed the back panel and opened up the chest and stomach area panels, her power source was glowing, a condensed ball of blue energy trapped in a slotted ball of metal. I looked around and saw that a vast portion of wires were missing. "So if I replace these it should work, now if only I had something to cut the wires of the light bulbs electrical sockets, and unscrew them, with." I said out loud, as if on que I heard some shuffling above me. I looked up and saw that there was a grate in the ceiling. I could hear people talking through it.

"Hey, what do you want to do with that prisoners knife?"

"Just toss it, he won't be needing it anymore, besides by the time the week is up he'll be so brainwashed he won't even know his own name, simply the Directors orders."

"Aren't you glad we don't have to go through that."

"Ya. Ugh the nearest metal incinerator is two floors away."

"Just drop it down that grate over there. It leads into the water system I think."

"Alright." I heard one of the guards coming towards the grate, I quickly hid against the wall and then decided it would be best to hid under the bed, which I did. I heard the grate open. "Hey man this goes into one of the cells. You sure I should just drop it down here?"

"Is the prisoner in there?"

"No."

"Then why shouldn't you?"

"Alright fine." He said dropping something it hit the floor and bounced before landing right next to the bed, it was the Enforcer. "Come on lets go get something to eat." The guard said, closing the grate and walking off. Once their footsteps had faded I crawled out from under the bed and grabbed the Enforcer, pulling it out of its sheath I checked the blade, impeccable as always. I went back to examining the Vocaloid.

"Alright so I need a section of wire about 2 feet long and then another section about one foot long." I said standing and walking over to the light fixture on the wall, quickly unscrewing the cover and then the socket and fixture I was able to expose the wires beneath. "So if I take about this much out I should have enough for what I need with some surplus, which is always good to have." I said pulling out a grandiose amount of freshly cut wire. Quickly reattaching the light and such I tried the switch, strangely enough only the fixture on the other side was the one that didn't work. Suddenly I heard a door opening in the hall. Quickly sheathing the Enforcer and hiding it and the wire under the bed and closing the Vocaloid back up I sat on the ground staring at the Vocaloid like I was trying to figure out why it wasn't working. The door was unlocked and I stood up as instructed, placing my hands above my head.

"So, I see you found the unusable one, Iroha." The man said.

"Yes I did, whats wrong with her?" I asked, hoping that the Director would know so I would be able to fix it by focusing on a specific problem first and then fix it overall.

"No idea, it has just never worked." He said, then signaling to the guards I was escorted out of the room.

"So whats on the agenda?" I asked

"You are going to be strapped to a chair and be forced to listen to a variety of different soundwaves for about an hour. Then you will eat your dinner. And then you will go back to your room relax, keeping in mind that you will be getting up at 6:30 tommorow."

"Sounds like I'm going to be a busy man." I said, he nodded and we walked into a room covered in a variety of speakers with a chair in the middle. I was walked over and shoved into the chair which had automatically activating restraints. After that everyone left the room and then next thing I know be doused in cold water.

"You did quite well." The director said.

'Yeah that's cause I fell asleep dumbass!' I thought to myself. We entered a room full of guards, the mess hall I was once again walked over to a specific location, given food and told to eat, which I did with little difficulty because I was hungry and I'll eat just about anything you put in front of me. Once I finished I was marched back down to my cell and locked in with a reminder of when I was going to be woken up the next morning. It was only 7:30, plenty of time for me to work on the newly identified Iroha. I grabbed the wire and the Enforcer from under my bed, opened her back up and began working. Using the heat generated by her 'heart' I was able to heat the ends to the point of being meldable once I was done with that wire I hit a bump in my plan, the second wire that required a longer cord was farther away from the heart and not long enough to reach it. I grunted as I tried to get it closer, I shifted the arm around a little hoping that the wire was in it also and would be moved closer if I moved the arm, it didn't work. So I grabbed and forcibly pulled the cord out so I could get it close enough to melt it a litte and the melded it with the wire patch doing the same on the other end. "Well let's hope it doesn't have any issues with what that is attached to." I said, closing the panels up and pushing the start button… nothing happened, I began looking around inside her again and that was when I spotted it, the cord I had yanked on had come unplugged from its small socket. I reached in and quickly plugged it back in. there was a faint whirring noise as she powered up. I closed all the different hatches on her and she sat up looking at me there was a slight pause before her eyes widened as she realized she didn't have any clothes on. Next thing I knew I was laying on the floor staring at a girl wrapped in a sheet.

"Why were you staring at me… pervert." She said, blushing.

"I am not! I was making sure that the whirring and sitting up wasn't a fluke."

"Yeah right, like I'm gonna believe a pervert like you."

"Would you rather I take my jury rigging back out of you so you go back into permanent shut down?" I asked, she shook her head, the sheet getting shaken loose in the flurry. It fell and I got clocked upside the head by a… speaker floating next to her, as a matter of fact there were two speakers floating next to her. "Why are there speakers floating next to you?" I asked, she looked at them.

"They are all part of my sound system." She said "Project Subwoofer." My eyes widened, so she was Project Subwoofer. "However until I am binded I can't actually use them to do any singing with." I sighed, then it dawned on me. Haku was a badass ninja, could this girls speakers possibly be used as weapons. I looked at my watch, 11:05, damn it.

"Alright let's continue this discussion tomorrow I am gonna be a busy man at 6:30 so I need some sleep."
