"Hey, what are they doing?" Red pressed.

"Was is something about Kayen or my dad?" Denum pleaded.

The King started issuing more instructions.

"They are bringing your father here," Quarrel informed, taking a seat.

"Then they're going to go get Rathi, right?" Aireio pressed, glancing over at Kamariya.

"...Q?" Red scooted closer.

Denum looked relieved.

When Q continued to remain silent, Aireio moved away from them and rushed over to Kamariya.

"I can't say I'm surprised," LiSen whispered. "After all... they left you in The Facility for fourteen years..."

"I wont let them," Q whispered, looking up as Aireio tried to take Kamariya's hand. "I wont let them keep Rathi... we have to help him..."

"Then lets get get him." Red said- putting his hand on Q's shoulder.

"I know what you're going to say." Kamariya told her- her tone as down at Q looked.

"We're gonna get him back," Aireio promised, squeezing the other girl's hand. "I'm not gonna let them keep him! LiSen will help too, and Denum if he does... and I can bully Red into doing it and you know Q will if Red does, its obvious he likes him... don't give up, okay? We got out of there once..."

"They will not let you go." Kamariya said before she nodded. "If you can get me inside to him..."

Aireio looked over at her brother, who gave a small nod. "When the party leaves to get Denum's dad," she whispered. "We'll go."

Luda was awoken from a drugged state by loud yelling and banging.

There were a group of men trying to hold down a young boy who was fighting them desperately. He was small - maybe a preteen - with black hair that somehow stayed in perfect ringlets, despite his struggles. His skin was pale and almost a sickly grey color, but it didn't look bad on him.

One of them injected him with the purple dampener, but he continued to fight, even though it was hopeless. It was something Luda found himself admiring - it was obvious the kid wasn't going to give up, even as they shoved him into one of the tubes and locked his wrists in with the chains.

Luda let out a bubbling growl and moved closer to the other tube, glaring at the doctors. The act of even thinking clearly was so trying and painful with all these drugs coursing through his system. No wonder they could keep that little bastard locked away for fourteen years down here. He watched the new boy carefully and how the scientists were manhandling him.

He kicked at them wildly until they had to chain down his feet as well and still continued to try as they shoved needle after needle into his arms - many times his movements ripping them out, causing the doctors to have to do them all over again.

Eventually they managed to get all of them in as his strength disappeared. He tried to keep his eyes open as the oxygen mask was placed over his face and the door closed and locked. They opened back up in alarm however as the tube began to fill with liquid and he tried to struggle to get away from it.

"Ah, Luda," Mister Gale chuckled as he watched the brunette watch the struggling boy. "I see you're awake."

Calm down...

Luda did everything he close to try and force the message to the other boy without Gale noticing or the drugs interfering. He glared at Gale and shifted over to the man- is fingernails raking the glass and leaving scratches on the crystalline surface.

"Does he look familiar?" Gale pressed, smirking a little bit. "No, I'm sure he doesn't... but he's like you. A half breed. We're hoping his DNA isn't dirty like yours... or we'll have to dispose of him."

Another burst of bubbles from the edges of the mask as Luda growled angrily at the man. He looked over at the waste bin and saw Dolly there. Glace...Glace was still outside the tubes!

"Oh, right, the doll!" Gale chuckled. "I'd forgotten! Thank you, Luda."

He moved over and lifted her up by one rainbow-colored dreadlock, smirking a little bit.

"Really... you're a little old for toys," He commented as he pulled a lighter from his pocket and lit it up, moving it toward the toy.

Suddenly Gale cried out in surprise as the lighter went flying from his hand and Dolly was pulled away, floating in front of him.

Glace, open the tubes!

Luda banged on the glass.

"Dose him, he's projecting outside the chamber!" One of the other scientists cried out in alarm.

They scrambled for the buttons but to their surprise the controls sparked and went dead, the holds for the tubes unlocking automatically.

The doors cracked open and water began to spill out, making Gale trip and fall.
