Interrogator: "Performing experiments you say?"
Annalise: "Yes. And he was doing it with mutagen as well."

The girls had arrived home from their mission. But they could not rest yet. Osore took a breath. "Alright. Let's focus. Master has everything down in the basement--"
26Please respect copyright.PENANA3m2w5sDycr
"Of course it's in the fuckin’ basement," Tsunami scoffed.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA8Lolmvjosm
Osore rolled her eyes. "We need to investigate and see what the hell he's doing with all that mutagen."
26Please respect copyright.PENANAu3z5K8ElQ7
The girls prepared themselves to uncover the secrets hidden beneath the surface. As they descended into the darkness of the basement, they knew that their journey was only just beginning. When they got down into the basement, the sight sent shivers down their spines.... Hybrids, werewolves, werecats, dragons...he was experimenting on them...The girls snuck around carefully, trying not to bump into anything.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAPeRE64DQER
Nova came across a testing tube holding a hybrid. It was an African teenager with curly hair crossing her arms over her chest. She was wearing a tight suit. She had white wings with golden webbing, white fox ears and tail. Alice looked at the label. It was a lightning dragon, with a mix of Arctic fox. Alice tilted her head in curiosity.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA6IsCpzf9CI
As the girls walk around, they see more and more hybrids that were affected by the mutagen. Ivy looked at the creations with a face of disgust.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAfCXZk2xHri
"Hey girls, look at this" Osore called.
26Please respect copyright.PENANADSzjHdewj3
The girls walk over. "It's a plan of some sort..." said Osore. Osore stared at it for a moment. But suddenly her eyes were wide with fear.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAqr4wk8E49M
"Let me see!" said Nova.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAw82cuy0Pid
"No," said Osore.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwdaJri7hTQ
"Why?" Nova whined.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAWOUfytnoCk
The girls froze as they heard a loud hissing sound. They turned around. The lightning dragon. She had been released. But by who? The lightning dragon looked at them with golden yellow eyes that sparked with lightning.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAHYgZQ5Rynd
"We're doomed..." Frost muttered.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAYxQqIt584f
Without hesitation, the girls ran for dear life with the lighting dragon running behind them. And boy, was she fast...terrifyingly fast...The girls sprinted through the dimly lit basement, their hearts pounding with fear as they fled from the lightning dragon hot on their heels. Each step echoed loudly in the confined space, the sound of their panicked breaths filling the air as they raced towards the stairs leading to safety.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAKGEnHBCL4j
As they ran, Osore's mind raced with possibilities, trying to piece together how the lightning dragon had been released and who could be behind it. But in the chaos of the moment, there was no time for answers, only the urgent need to escape before it was too late.
26Please respect copyright.PENANANoGN0Uk9if
The girls reached upstairs, still being followed by the teenage girl.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAYua1Cx9p70
"Quickly out the door!" Ivy exclaimed.
26Please respect copyright.PENANASG4HEniGKz
The girls run to the front door and outside.
26Please respect copyright.PENANABOJ0sfryke
"I just hope she's not as smart as she looks," Nova said on the way out.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAGQGeB97saY
When the girls were out of the house, they stopped to take a breath.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAzbcNDAYyZe
"We should be fine... for now," Osore said in between catching breaths.
26Please respect copyright.PENANADKJAmMvuaF
"I feel very bad for her," said Nova.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAPyXN00tKzX
"Why the heck do you feel bad for someone that just tried to kill us?!" Tsunami hissed.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAyyyDyY32Qm
Nova sighed. "It's just...Being experimented on like that... it's not right."
26Please respect copyright.PENANACogzOQdelW
Tsunami shook her head in frustration. "That's no excuse for trying to attack us," she argued, "She made her choice when she was let loose!"
26Please respect copyright.PENANAiDrzgx87sV
Frost remained silent, her mind was filled with questions and uncertainties, wondering what other secrets lay hidden in the depths of the basement.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAqnMAPSYkBQ
Osore took a deep breath, her gaze focused and determined. "We need to find out who released her and put a stop to whatever plans they have," she declared.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAtXyI3KHhqc
The girls looked up as they heard creaking from the roof. The lightning dragon. It was there. The girls scattered in different directions.
26Please respect copyright.PENANACUmkJAF2iM
Osore ran through the streets of the neighborhood, her mind racing with thoughts of strategy and survival as she navigated the maze-like streets with determination.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA3FAsMVztfw
Ivy jumped over fences and raced through backyards. Her eyes darted around, searching for any sign of a potential escape route or hiding spot where they could regroup.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAnJoaCUbwnG
Frost and Tsunami sprinted down the street, their breaths coming in ragged gasps as they pushed themselves to their limits in a desperate bid to evade capture. Their minds raced with thoughts of their friends' safety and the need to protect each other from harm as they raced towards the safety of a nearby park.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAlSUpWve0IR
As for Nova, just as she had started climbing a tree, one of the branches snapped. Nova could feel her heart beat out of her chest as the lightning dragon walked closer. There was a loud screech, making Nova's fear rise. Another dragon landed before Nova and she fainted from the overwhelming situation.

A few seconds later...
Nova's eyes slowly opened, her vision was blurry for a moment, before finally looking around and seeing Phantom in his human form, cradling her in his arms. Nova didn't know how she should react. This was an assassin holding her. Should she panic? Should she remain calm? As Nova gazed up at Phantom, her mind raced with questions, her instincts urging her to flee, to escape from the clutches of the enemy.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwEba8irtvb
With a shaky breath, Nova forced herself to remain calm. "W-What...what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty. Nova's voice quivered as she struggled to comprehend Phantom's unexpected presence, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and curiosity. She searched his eyes for any hint of his intentions. Phantom's gaze softened slightly at Nova's question.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAR5NFxNaVJv
"I came to...to protect you," he admitted quietly. Nova's breath caught in her throat at his words, her mind reeling with disbelief. As she lay in his arms, Nova felt a wave of conflicting emotions wash over her.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAZXubYSxTib
"I...I don't understand," Nova whispered, her voice barely audible above the pounding of her heart. "Why are you doing this?"
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwnRlRqYPYf
"Because...because I need answers," Phantom confessed.
26Please respect copyright.PENANASKit4PjBbV
Nova shook her head. Where is home? This has to be a trap. Nova rolled out of Phantom's arms and sat in front of Phantom.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAhYrcOnRiSH
"What do you want to know?" she asked.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAQfDPyMFpwa
"Why did you try to find me?" Phantom asked.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAQg6Uoqo8ZF
Nova shrugged. "Dunno. I guess I was just being dumb."
26Please respect copyright.PENANAgb5AIL5mC9
"No you weren't," Phantom said firmly, "you were curious. You wanted to know more, just like I did."
26Please respect copyright.PENANAqqjTo2UYdY
"So why did you back away," Nova asked, "why did you hide?"
26Please respect copyright.PENANAH6hoWa8xxc
Phantom was silent for a moment. "I..I I was...scared," Phantom stammered.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAaZWFtSzcdK
"Don't like people seeing you as a weak lizard, eh?" Nova questioned.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAyH1WSTEuXo
Phantom chuckled softly and scratched the back of his head. "Well, if you wanna put it that way..."
26Please respect copyright.PENANABTCxdRDVDN
"So I guess you're not as brave as everyone makes you out to be," said Nova.
26Please respect copyright.PENANArbqrvc25e4
"I guess not," Phantom admitted.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAolG35KLCvD
Nova looked around as she heard Osore calling for her. Phantom stood and helped Nova to her feet.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA6CeCCbTfnf
Phantom gave a small smile. "Stay safe, trickster."
26Please respect copyright.PENANA6f0MkjRPIo
Nova returned the smile, giving a playful giggle, before running off to join her friends.
