Simon said "I can help you help Lucy."

Claude only answered "And lead us to an even bigger mess? Forget it! I'd rather just rot in here than listen to you!"

"You'd be experimented by then!" Simon explained. "Sitting here won't help. You know that! It's not too late!"

"Hmph!" Claude try to ignore Simon as if he were lying. "How can you help me?"

"Not only can I help you escape but, you are her friend right? Otherwise more than a friend?"

Claude though about this. He thought of when Lucy rescued him from falling in Summer's lair. He'd remembered asking why Lucy rescued him from near death and Lucy answering "Because we're friends silly! Frankly, I've spent more time around you than any other student, even though it's by chance half the time!" Those words that time opened up his feelings for her somehow but kept them secret ever since. Now Lucy was a precious friend to him and he must get her back.

Claude went over and opened up the drain. "Alright, I'll follow you, but I want no funny business! Lead me to Lucy and quickly!" He dove down the drain.

…..

*Meanwhile*

Lucy was lead through a hall toward the room which turned every kid sent to the windmill into nonhuman beings that lead a similar life to an engineer of excreting steam from their backs, have skin with stitched patches on them, and have different color eyes from genetically normal.

When they entered the room, Lucy could smell more than just rusting metal and other objects, she could've sworn she smelt blood and other decomposing parts. The next thing she found herself strapped down to a table. "Put her to sleep. Then commence the operation!" She couldn't escape and the worst part was she didn't have Dino with her somehow….

…..

"Oof!" Claude landed after sliding through the twists and turns of the enormous pipes the drain lead directly to. He looked at his surroundings. Around him were series of steaming machines, glass capsules with some living things already in them, and other contraptions. The place he was in was huge.

Claude finally spotted Simon except that he now was dragging a ball and chain.

"Simon? Where is this?" Claude asked.

"This is the storage room where the engineers put all of us failed experiments."

"Failed experiments huh?"

"Yes." Simon concluded.

"What do you mean by us though, is there more?"

"There are thousands of us now. Miss Weaver and the engineers have been working on some sort of secret project for eighty years. Since the school opened!"

"You don't mean…" Claude began. "Every kid they've sent to the windmill so far they experiment with them like some sort of lab rat?"

"There.. There is a machine in Weaver's tower." Simon said. "They hooked me up to a machine and almost all my memories went away.. Went away for good! N-now there's hardly any of me left! I'm a pile of remains held together by stitches…"

"I Don't know why but obviously that can't be good." Claude said. "Not only do we need to find out the reason why that old hag Miss Weaver is doing this but first we gotta rescue Lucy before it's too late!"

"Agreed!" Simon approved. "I know where that room is, that turns us into stitched beings and drains our memory. We have to get their quietly though for we don't want to wake the others or get ourselves caught."

"Right." Claude agreed. He follows Simon through the room. Eventually Simon finds the exit (which he can fit his ball through) and they go through there. Little did they know some of the other experimented kids were awake. They watched them exit the room not knowing what to do next until an experimented kid named Meg who turns out to be Claude's sister sent to the windmill says "Follow them! No one supposed to leave here!" With Meg leading the mob, they follow Simon and Claude.

…..

The surgery was complete. Lucy looked different than her original self. She still had her flaming red hair (looks orange to me ._.) and she still looked the same except that her skin was patched with stitches and was a pale green in color. The engineers have odd colored patched skin. She was no longer wearing her school uniform for the engineers either threw it away or put it somewhere else for she was wearing almost the same type of clothing like Simon did. Lucy wasn't awake yet due the anesthesia they gave her. It put her to sleep but somehow the pain of the surgery was still felt. (I guess they either put her to sleep didn't give her a pain killer or the engineers are plain jerks) Lucy was still alive and normal but she would never be able to notice the machine the engineers hooked her up to. This is the machine made to drain her memory and soul.

Miss Weaver came in making sure the process was going well and not heading off some negative direction. She ordered them to activate the machine. After she left, the engineers in charge of this part of Miss Weaver's cruel project did so as told. After adjusting the contraption's setting and all that crap, the machine sent an electrical charge through Lucy's body and began to take a fraction of her soul and memories.

….

Claude and Simon were rushing towards the direction the room where Lucy was in. Both of them knew if they didn't hurry, Lucy would've of lost all her memories or worse. Miss Weaver's experiment would've been another success (like how Francine's body would already be possessed by Miss Ricketts)for Miss Weaver would be the one to possess it (and I can't imagine Miss Weaver as Lucy running the school! O_O).

"There it is!" Simon said.

They finally reached the room. The engineers spotted them and tried to stop them. But Simon used his ball to knock the engineers one by one unconscious. Claude was having a bit of difficulty trying to shut the machine off. (idk what type to put in here, like the machine requires password or what!) While trying to figure it out, an engineer is about to catch Claude but is then knocked out by Simon. Finally all the engineers were unconscious and Claude was able to shut the machine down.

Claude caring about nothing else ran to Lucy who remained unconscious on the table. Claude noticed the stitches and the clothing. She was still alive for Claude's relief but what about her memories? Claude shook her awake. Finally she opened her eyes. Lucy's eyes were no longer blue. They were as red as Miss Weaver's and the other engineers. Lucy slowly sat up showing steam blowing out her back. She had two hole on her back but only one did not blow out steam.

"Lucy?" Claude said worriedly. "Do you remember me?" 'Oh god no!' He thought. 'Please remember! They better not have taken all your memories already!'

Lucy looked at Claude. Claude expected to be saying "Claude is that you?" by now. But all he got for her reaction was a confused and blank looking stare. This was obvious….. Claude was too late.
