Torturous Chimera

Disclaimer: While I don't own Gundum, I do own the Kids. E-mail me at Chynarose8@hotmail.com if you want to use them. Now for the number crunching: 2x1, 3x4, 5x6, 1-2, 4-3, 6-5-13, R-6, 1/R, 2/H, 3/C, 4/D, 5/S, 6/9, 13/11, 13/6. What does this all mean? Aside from being an algebraic nightmare, it means that there's yaoi, implied/perceived het, implied/perceived yaoi, and genetic contributions. I feel that it's only fair to warn you that this is one weird story. These kids (well most of them) scare me - and I'm the one who came up with them. But when you consider who's kids they are… If you find yourself getting squicked, back away from the computer, sit down with your head between your legs, take some nice deep breaths, and then hit the back button. Flames will be used in a psychology paper.

Prologue

Lunar Base 5; Sea of Tears AC 197

The Preventer known as Wind stalked silently through the corridors of the dark research facility. So far, he had found nothing to confirm that this place was what it was suspected to be. But then, he had only begun his search. If the information was correct, Wind would find what he was looking for.

They had, a week ago, gotten wind of a rumor about a lab that preformed unethical genetic experiments. This lab was rumored to have been in operation since before the Zodiac War (as the war in AC 195 had been dubbed. Exactly why it was dubbed that, and who was the first to do so, remains a mystery) yet it remained unheard of by any of the factions involved, which struck some of the Preventers as odd. If such a lab had truly existed, surly someone would have heard of it before now. Yet due to the supposed nature of the alleged lab, it still had to be looked at. But just so be safe, they were also investigating the source of the rumor.

The silence closed in on him ominously. His footsteps echoed in the empty hallway; loud in his ears. Oh sure there were the sounds common to any lunar facility - the hum of computers, the whir of the ventilation system - but Wind had learned to tune that sort of white noise out. As he worked his way deeper into the complex, he kept his ears open for any change. He was listening for any sing that he wasn't alone. Aside from the fact that he was looking for living outcomes to genetic experiments, he also had to deal with the possibility that there were guards roaming around. So far, he was lucky that he met nothing.

Wind ducked into a nearby room in order to check it out. He hit pay dirt. The soundproof walls were lined with tanks and cages of all sizes. Each held a mystical beast that by all right should not exist; many were in bad condition to boot. He began transmitting what he was seeing to Preventer Headquarters. The rumor had been right. An animal that looked like a cross between a lizard, a snake, and a chicken stared at him. It's scales were dull, and it's feathers were missing. Its bones could be plainly seen.

Once he had gathered enough evidence, Wind continued on. He still had to locate the computer's mainframe. Now that the genetic experimentation had been confirmed, the scientists' notes had to be copied and then deleted from the lab's computers. Hopefully the data could be utilized to help deal with the results of the experimentation. The creatures, though monstrous in appearance, were the innocent victims here.

As he descended further into the bowls of the facility, he kept his guard up. There was still a chance that he could run into trouble, or more of the 'good doctor's' sad experiments. True, he didn't have to look for other experiments, but he felt he owed it to the creatures. If the group he had found was any indication…

He thought he heard a noise in one of the rooms he passed. Nothing much; maybe a muted thump. Wind frowned. He couldn't be sure he had heard anything, but he couldn't just ignore it on the basis that he might have imagined something. He didn't want to end up like Vinnie after all.

Upon opening the door, Wind was rendered speechless. None of his training, or what he had seen in the wars, had repaired him for the sight before him. Five children - little more than babies - stood huddled together in the middle of the room. On the floor lay the body of a man. Even from where he stood in the doorway, Wind could tell that the man was dead.

"Are you getting this?" Wind asked as he transmitted the horrific tableau before him. Ten small eyes watch him intensely. He knew that he had to get them out now; forget the computer.

He began to approach the children; intent on getting them the hell out of there. They watched him wearily. As he approached them, a black haired boy stepped in to block him. Wind stopped and waited. The boy obviously was trying to protect the other children from him. Before he could make any attempt to assure the children that he was not there to hurt him (as other adults apparently had been), one of the three girls (the smallest) put her hand on that of the boy; effectively holding him back. She then made her way over to Wind and silently asked him to pick her up. As Wind picked up the small girl, the other dropped their guard and surrounded him. It was time to go.
