Maurice's p.o.v.

My head hurt from when that bang went off and my vision was blurry. I could make out the fact I was in a small space and it's moving cause I could feel the swaying. After a bit, my vision cleared and when I looked around, I found that I was in my cage again. My ears perked up and I frantically looked outside of the metal bars to see some soldiers were taking me somewhere. I curled up into a tight ball as I watched them come up to a building that I immediately recognized. It was the building I escaped from. The soldiers walked along the halls I only saw from my escape and dream until they came up to large double doors made of metal. They pushed the doors open and there was a desk sitting in the back with a bunch of weird gimmicks. The whole room had pictures around it with a few bits of furniture but the one thing I kept my eyes on was the chair behind the desk. That very chair was facing a huge window and when the double doors closed, my cage was set down on the ground.

"You finally caught him?" a voice I immediately recognized and hoped to never hear again asked.

"Yes and it was fairly easy but Project Shadow might come looking for him." one of the soldiers said and the chair turned around revealing Master. He looked older and had a smug smile on his face.

"Let him come. By the time he gets here, he won't be leaving at all." he stood up and walked around, coming to stand in front of his desk. He moved some of the stuff off to the side and sat down on it. "Leave us be." the doors were opened and I was still in my cage looking up at him. "Its been a while, hasn't it Weapon?" I stayed silent as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Speak." I felt like his command didn't have any meaning to me so I glared at him instead. He raised an eyebrow but stayed staring at me. "You became rebellious. Must've been when you escaped." he walked over to me and crouched down so I could still see his face. "Either you start talking or you will be punished." I didn't like the sound of that so I growled. He frowned and hit my cage causing me to yelp in surprise. "Looks like I need to put you back in your place." he stood up and I glared at his back.

"What do you want?" I finally asked causing him to turn around in surprise.

"Huh?"

"What do you want, Human." I dripped my voice with venom knowing how much I could get in trouble but didn't care. I want OUT and NOW. He narrowed his eyes.

"I want you to serve me without question."

"No." I blankly said as he glared then turned around to sit in his chair. He pressed some weird button on his desk causing the doors to open and the same guards that brought me here came back.

"Sir?" one of them asked. "Should we take him back to the room?" the other guard picked up my cage just as my used to be Master shook his head.

"No. Take him to the lab. I'll meet you there."

"Yes Sir." they took me away but I could see that he had a devious smirk on his face. They took me back down the halls and when the doors to the lab came into view, my eyes widened. I didn't want to go in there. The last time I did, they did some weird things to me that was unspeakable. I looked around and without a second thought, I rammed into the side of my cage causing the soldier holding it to let it go and I was able to get out. But I didn't get far until I was pinned down. I don't understand. I should've been able to take off like a rocket but why couldn't I do it now? As I was forced onto my feet and when I was pushed towards the doors, I tried my sword but even that failed. I felt all energy leave me as I was carried into the room. There was a lot of electronics such as computers and other stuff but the biggest thing that I saw was a huge pod. I was shoved into the pod and it locked me in. I tried banging on the glass but it wouldn't budge. I stopped moving as I saw my used to be Master come in. I growled and glared at him while he smirked at me.

"You know Weapon, if you never escaped in the first place, then we wouldn't have to force you to do anything." I stopped growling and raised an eye ridge.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I placed my hands on the glass. He chuckled and turned away from me, facing all the screens that showed weird readings of different sorts.

"This won't hurt the slightest bit." he pressed a black button and I perked my ears at hearing a strange hissing sound. I looked up and stepped back as black smoke began to fill the pod I was in. I held my breath not wanting to know what this strange smoke would do to me until I heard him laugh. "Once the process is finished, I'll have my perfect puppet to use however I please." I could just barely make out his crazy smile through all the black smoke and was able to hold my breath for quite a while. That is, until my lungs screamed for air. I tried using my hands to help hold it in a while longer until I couldn't anymore and and gasped for air. I felt all strange on the inside as I breathed in the smoke. Everything started to spin and I found that I couldn't move my legs or arms. I swayed on my feet as my vision became blurry. I couldn't take much more and fell onto my stomach and the last thing I saw... was Master smiling at me...
