《The fallen will rise》A new friend? 2

I look her right in the eyes and shake my head slowly. She sits her head in her hand and sighs slowly.

“Your that new huh?”

I nod.

“Okay, well first things first.” She opens a drawer and plucks a small flat piece of metal out before shutting it closed again.

She places the metal plate down on the desk and puts one finger on it. It glows slightly before letting out a very soft *ding*.

She removed her finger and the plate opened up to reveal a thin piece of circuitry. I watched her as she turned her fingers into a pair of tweezers and picked it up.

‘She is like me!’ I thought to myself.

She winked at me before holding it up and explaining.

“This is a new device that was created here. I cannot explain everything now as we are a bit short on time. I don’t know which chamber you escaped from, but they are going to notice your absence soon.”

‘Wait, what?’ I wanted to correct her, but I still lacked the ability to talk. So, I just sat there and listened to her.

“This device will monitor your growth and provide you with some useful functions. I added a couple small programs designed to help our kind out, you will find out about those later. Now, stay still while I apply it. Don’t worry it wont hurt.” She brought the electric wafer to my body and pressed it to my side. It melted into my skin and disappeared. I mentally looked inside my body, but I could find no trace of it. I give her a funny look I hope will make her explain more.

She chuckles at the look I’m giving her.

“Now, Now. This will only benefit you. It will take a while to get used to your body before activating. Okay, now here is the situation.” She takes a deep breath before she continues. “This is an illegal lab that has been kidnapping people and preforming terrible experiments on them for years. We and those like us were created from some of those experiments. With our powers we would’ve already gotten revenge and stopped them by now, however, they all have what I just gave you and it has made them tremendously stronger. There was an attempt at the overseer’s life a year ago but it failed and now they know of our existence. We must be more careful now or they will exterminate us. We used to let the younglings like yourself get stronger here in this world. But they have had much success finding us lately, so we are changing our strategy. One of the head scientists working here created a device that lets him open holes into alternate realities. I am going to send you to another world until you are strong enough to join the fight. It is the only way for our kind to survive now. I will be able to contact you through the implant I just gave you.”

There was a knock at the door and she jumped.

“One minute!” She said. Turning back to me she sighed sadly. “I was hoping for a little more time. But we have to go now. Don’t worry, Ill make sure you get a nice world to grow in.” She gave me a warm smile before picking me up and hiding me in her lab coat’s pocket. I try to look out of the pocket but my view is blocked by the fabric on the pocket. I can hear clearly though and I just listen as she opens the door.

“Yes?”

“Ma’am the new project needs your attention. We are about to access a new portal.”

A very deep voice came from the door way. He sounded huge, glad I’m hidden in this pocket.

“Perfect timing” She took a couple steps forward and I heard the door closing behind her “Let’s go”.

Once again I was being carried around and once again I had nothing to do. I was still trying to process what she told me.

‘I was created from an experiment? But I have memories. I definitely remember going to classes and studying with my friend.” I was trying to figure everything out but I decided I would get stronger. Not just to help out those like me but to find out more about my past as well. She must know more about what is going on. Maybe she will tell me after I activate the implant.

She and the guy that knocked on the door had a long conversation as they walked through the facility. They mostly talked about boring stuff or stuff I didn’t understand. Something about special project E.G.M.A being near completion. It seems really important to the man judging by how he was talking about it. They stopped talking about interesting things after a while and I started to tune them out. Instead I practiced my shapeshifting for a while. I was also paying attention to what I could tell about where we were going. I felt her walking down a long hall for a little bit, before we got in a elevator and went down for what felt like forever. She finally got out of the elevator and walked for another 10 to 30 minutes. Turning seemingly at random down what I assume to be more halls before finally stopping

‘Just how big is this place!?’

I stretch a tentacle with one of my eyes up and out of the pocket to see what is going on but as soon as my eye leaves the pocket she stuffs it back inside. I did get a glimpse of some huge doors in front of her though. There was a person talking to one of the guards on either side of the door. That must have been the guy she was talking to this whole time. He was huge with some weird metal things on his arms and head. I couldn’t get a good look at what he was wearing though, I could tell it was dark green. Maybe military camouflage or something. I also noticed that one of the guards was carrying a sword. That can’t be normal. Why doesn’t he have a gun?

*CREAK*

*SCRAPE* *SCRAPE*

*THUNK*

I didn’t need to look to tell that the huge door is open now. I could feel the woman start walking again and she resumed her previous conversation with the man as we passed by the guards. I go back to practicing shapeshifting until I notice their conversation stop.

The woman had stopped walking and said

“One sec I have to visit the ladies room.”

He didn’t respond but I heard his clothes shuffle a little so I assumed he nodded or something. She walked into a room, closing the door behind her before grabbing me and pulling me out of her pocket. I struggled for a little bit before I realized she wasn’t hurting me. She was holding me at eye level and watching me struggle. When I stopped she finally spoke.

“What the HELL are you doing in there. Why have you been moving so much? Are you trying to make this harder on me than it needs to be?” She took a breath.

“Stop Moving, the humans already like looking at my chest. I don’t need them asking why my pocket is moving.” She started at me for a minute like she expected me to answer. Since I couldn’t talk, I just raised a mouse paw, grew a thumb and gave her a thumbs up. She looked at me and nodded before stuffing me into a lower pocket and exiting the room.

“Sorry about that rufa-“ She began but she never finished that sentence. I heard some metallic clicking around us and a weird *SHINK* sound.

I heard someone walk forward and stop just in front of us.

“Ma’am, I need to see your ID card and need you to submit to a bio-scan.” The man said.

I heard the woman curse under her breath.

“Shit, and I really liked this form too.”

She stepped forward and I could feel her pull something out of her other jacket pocket. She must have handed something to the man because all he said next was “Follow me.”

A short walk later and we were in a very bright room. I could see the light through the lining of the pocket I was in. I heard two people walk in behind us and a door close. She sat down and leaned forward, almost crushing me in her pocket. Before I could try and avoid being crushed by her ample busom, She reached in a pulled me out. As soon as I was out I realized that the arm she was using to carry me was coming out of her abdomen.

‘She really is like me!’ I was wondering how she got so good at shifted but her hand grew a tiny mouth and spoke to me.

“Climb onto the man directly across from me, I will create a distraction and he will head for the place they lock up their expensive gadgets to try and capture me. When he gets in that room wait until he leaves Do not attack him! he is one of the most powerful men here and he will kill you easily. You need to look for a device that is about as small as my hand. It is a blue circle with a yellow strap. All you need to do is activate it and type in CX-8009. It should take you to a world they use as a dumping ground for their failed experiments. Do not let the device get damaged, it is the only way for you to get back. Be careful youngling.” I was still trying to process this when she absorbed her arm back into her stomach and dropped me on the floor.

She really talks fast, the man in front of her had not even begun to speak before she was finished. I shrunk down and climbed up the man’s leg. I hid inside his pocket and waited for him to finish talking. He was speaking very softly, and I had trouble understanding what he was saying. Apparently, he didn’t have much to say and we were out of there before long. I expected the lady to attack him or transform into something and rampage around but she didn’t appear to do anything. I think I heard her say something to the man before we left the room but that was it. I thought it was weird but she hasn’t given me any reason to not trust her so far so I’ll just follow her instructions for now.

_____________________________________

After she sent the youngling off she relaxed a little bit. The man across from her was the commander, he worked directly under the overseer. She was expecting him to call her out, try to find out her plans and if there are any more of her kind and who they are. But what he said threw her off quite a bit. She was waiting for him to speak and was getting ready to turn into a rhino and start rampaging when he started talking.

“Ma’am, im sorry for this but you have been here all night and one of the night guards reported a disturbance in john’s chem lab. Have you noticed any disturbances or anyone wandering around where they aren’t supposed to?” He said in his very soft but stern voice.

She was surprised but tried to hide it and simply shook her head. He nodded and got up and left. As he was leaving the door she asked “So, can I leave?”

He nodded again without looking at her or stopping. She also left the room and walked to the lab she was going to in the first place. Before she stopped and cursed at herself. She had just sent the newest youngling with the commander and she had no idea where he was going.

She couldn’t do anything about it now. She had to just keep on going and hope the youngling can survive and escape. She reached the lab she had been heading to in the first place and Rufas was waiting by the entrance. She just nodded at him and followed him inside the lab. Things like that happen all the time at this facility, not normally with the commander though. He looked worried and curious but he didn’t ask what happened. The inside of the lab was buzzing with activity, people in white lab coats speeding through the room trying their best to not run into each other. They all had deep bags under their eyes and had bloodshot eyes. Rufas led me to the only scientist in the room that was standing still fiddling with a device on the table. The very same device she had just sent the youngling to get. She deeply sighed and walked over to the table to see what jack wanted with her.

‘Well, I guess that youngling is dead. I have to go through the list of candidates again to see If I can make some new ones…’ She thought to herself as she approached jack.
