Chapter XVII: For Lack of a Better Title… ~Kaia

Kaia looked around her “room”. It had been her room since she could remember. The smell of chemicals seemed like any other “homey” smell that any other person could relate to. She had just been told by many of the other people at the lab that there was an escape route planned out for them, and to meet them in the Rec Room. Her job was quite simple. She had to go to the Rec Room, grab one of the younger children, go through the secret corridor and fly over the fence. It sounded pretty easy, but the security in this lab was so incredibly hard to breach, this would be no simple task.

I guess these wings do come in handy, even if they are a pain in my butt.

She looked at the clock. Ahh time to go. And so she set off to help free a child.

Kaia opened the door to find--surprise of surprises--about 5 guards at her door. Oh, and I thought this would be easy. *sigh* “Ok boys. Just going to the bathroom. Don’t freak.” They just nodded, and let her pass. I didn’t know that guards could be so stupid. Kaia snickered at that thought.

Kaia headed toward the Rec Room when the head scientist stopped her. “So how do you like the wings and added sight?” he said.

“Oh they would be great if I ever got to use them.” What else could go wrong?

“I want to run some tests on you right now, so could you come with me to the lab?”

I guess I shouldn’t have asked that question. Groaning, she followed him for some distance, and right before she went through the double doors of the lab, she turned and bolted toward her original destination. As Kaia ran, she felt herself being drawn to the ground, and as she looked down, she saw herself go through the floor as if it were water. Her last thoughts consisted primarily of: What the hell?!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When the blackness had subsided, Kaia opened her eyes to see a vast body of water, and to realize that she was rapidly falling toward it. I believe now would be a good time to learn how to fly. And thinking so, she spread her wings and flapped. Hey it worked!!!! Ha! Ha! Who is good?! Just then she began to fall again and she decided now would be a good time to fly away from the water and search for some life forms.

After flying for about two hours, Kaia thought she saw another person. No wait…another group of people and…things, which looked like small friendly dinosaurs. Ok…this is a little odd. Oh well, better see if they’re real. So she nose dived to the ground, accidently lost control, and fell right in front of who she would come to know as Mazzic 36. He somehow reminded her of all of the men who “escorted” her places.

Dammit! I thought I was rid of these guys! I guess I didn’t get as far away from the lab as I thought.

Hopping up she assumed a defensive stance and shouted, "You'll never take me alive! I'll take you all"

Though disturbed greatly by this outburst, all Mazzic said was, "I'm Mazzic36, nice to meet you too."
