Flashback
Lilly and Vincent came out of the woods near what they hoped was the last lab they would need to search. Lilly had long ago become disgusted by the atrocities committed by the scientists. Looking up at Vincent she could see this hunt they had embarked on was wearing on him. With every lab, it took more effort to keep chaos contained within his body as the demon screamed for the blood of the men and women who had disregarded life so callously.
As they walked up to the facility, they became aware of the cold silence coming from its interior. Walking through the doors, they saw an empty guard station; it was the same with every room in the lab. Apparently, the scientists had been warned and fled; fearing what would happen if they stayed to protect the facility.
After they had raided the first lab, Lilly had gladly burned the facility. The people and animals they had experimented on had all died and the ones who were caged were released. With every lab they had confirmed the bastard Hojo was behind every experiment that had taken so many lives and that his cyber self was not in the mainframe. This was the only facility listed in the last labs archives that Vincent and Lilly had not destroyed.
Entering the document room, Vincent walked to the computer to begin his search for anything relating to other labs, as well as any indication Hojo was still alive and Lilly began her search of the building. She entered a room lined with multiple Mako tubes. The sight sent anger burning through her veins. Walking to the first tube, she checked the vitals on the being inside. Deceased. Checking the file, she frowned. ‘experimental failure 23821 given Tributame for euthanasia on 8/12/0008, to be disposed of on 8/14/0008.” every tube she went to had the same information. The whole room was filled with people and animals that had died because some heartless scientist had deemed them a failure. She laid her hand on a tube that contained a beautiful large black cat as tears welled up in her eyes. Leaving the room, she entered another, again seeing walls lined with occupied tubes. As she checked each individual, she was given the same information.
In the next room, only four tubes were occupied. Lilly looked at the first tube where a little girl floated, her dark hair fanned out as the liquid circulated around her. She placed her hand on the glass as a mixture of anger and sorrow crushed her. Then the little girls eyes fluttered, Lilly stopped breathing as she put her other hand on the glass. The girl’s eyes fluttered again then opened slightly. Gasping Lilly grabbed her chart scanning it. She had been scheduled for euthanasia tomorrow. Hitting the release button Mako drained form the tube and then it opened. Lilly pulled her coat off and wrapped it around the little girl’s body as she picked her up. Her eyes looked up at Lilly and she smiled a little smile before she passed out, her little body sagging in Lilly’s arms.
“Vincent!” Lilly screamed as she looked around the room. The last three tubes were filled with animals; she looked up as Vincent rushed into the room. “She’s alive check the others.” Lilly ordered.
The last three were alive and after a moment of hesitation, Vincent released them knowing he and Lilly could easily subdue them if them proved to be aggressive. There were two dark cats and a reddish brown looking lion like animal. The reddish lion was the first to open his eyes, with an audible moan the lion slowly rolled onto its stomach and began trying to get to its feet.
“Easy.” Vincent said as he touched the lions shoulder.
The lion looked at Vincent as if he understood him and pushing up into a sitting position; the lion looked at the others, as they lay unconscious on the floor. He coughed as swayed slightly from the force but stayed sitting up.
“Where am I?” The lion asked.
Lilly felt her jaw drop open as she heard the animal speak. Surly it was a figment of her imagination. Vincent chuckled at her as he turned to the animal.
“You are in a lab in the southern mountain range. What is your name?” Vincent asked.
“Nanaki.” the lion answered. “I had a pack-mate sent here long ago is he still here?”
Lilly felt an intense pain in her chest from the question, looking down she brushed the girl’s hair from her face. Lilly wished they had been able to locate this lab sooner, maybe they could have saved the life of Nanaki’s pack-mate and the lives of the others suspended within the Mako tubes.
“You are not scientists, what is going on?” Nanaki asked as he tried to stand.
“No we are not scientists.” Vincent said, “We have been hunting down the labs operated by a man named Hojo and destroying them. We have only arrived here today.”
“Were are the scientists I need to know where my pack-mate is.” Nanaki’s apprehensive voice sent another wave of ice through Lilly’s veins.
Lilly looked up at Nanaki with sad eyes. “Nanaki,” she said softly, drawing his attention, “this place is a crematorium for failed experiments, you are the only four we have found alive.”
Nanaki blinked as if not understanding her and then his eyes closed, throwing back his head he let loose a pain pilled cry that tore at Lilly’s heart. Dropping to the floor Nanaki continued to cry and sob over the loose of his pack-mate. The other two were now awake and watching Nanaki with sorrow in their eyes as they lay on the floor. One of the cats crawled close and nuzzled Nanaki with its nose whimpering softly.
“What will you do with us?” The black cat said from beside Vincent.
“You’re free to choose your own path.” Lilly answered.
“All we ask is that you do not hunt down the scientists that have done this to you. Some of them may have been forced to do the experiments they were involved in.” Vincent added, looking at Lilly in question. She looked like she would object to his statement but she snapped her mouth shut and turned away to hide her anger.
Nanaki raised his head and pinned Vincent with sad eyes, studying him closely. Then he said, “You were once an experiment too.”
Vincent looked at Nanaki, “Yes. Lilly and I were both a part of the man named Hojo’s experimentation.”
“Where is this Hojo?” The female said from beside Nanaki.
“To our knowledge dead.” Vincent answered.
“You are not sure?” The black male asked, cocking his head to the side.
“No. He had somehow digitized his spirit, entered the computer mainframe, and then entered a human host. When the host died we hoped he died as well.” Lilly growled.
“I see. That is why you are hunting down the labs.” Nanaki said, rising to a sitting position, “You are searching for him.”
“Yes.” Lilly said in confirmation. Nanaki watched the two before him. He could sense there was more to these two than he could see with his eye.
“Where do you go from here?” Nanaki asked the two.
“First I must scan the computers for any information on Hojo and if there are any facilities we have not located. Then we will destroy this one.” Vincent said.
“May I join you?” Nanaki asked.
The two black cats looked at each other, the female nodding, “We would like to join as well.”
“Do you promise to follow our orders?” Lilly asked. When the trio nodded, Lilly said, “Than you may help us.”
