Chapter 24: Abduction "Should I bunch up my hair inside my helmet or just let it out?" Alexis asked, fingering her silver hair gently. "Maybe you should let it out. It looks nicer that way." I replied. "Really?" Alexis checked a mirror. "Why are we even bothering about looks if we don't go out anyway?" I sighed. "Good point. I think I'll let it out." Alexis shrugged. Right now, I was wearing a white tank-top coupled with a black skirt. Alexis was wearing a pale blue dress. The house was rather quiet today. Lacus and Lopez were out shopping while Roy and Mei Ling were working. Roy was recently hired to guard someone on the Orbis ship, and probably would not be back until tomorrow. "Lacus shouldn't have fixed the bra on me." I grumbled. A tag on the bra read Sticky Elastic Inflatable Joke Bra. "Which idiotic pervert manufactures these anyway!? I can't get it off!" I tugged at it. It stuck to me like glue. Suddenly, there was a noise behind me and I whirled around. The door was open. "Did you close the door?" I asked Alexis. She nodded and the next thing I knew, there was a piece of wet cloth around my mouth. "Wha...... th...." I started to feel woozy. Some sort of concoction in the cloth. I felt the gas flow into my nose, ordering my brain to shut down. It complied. I fainted. ...... I awoke to find myself in the back of a car with blacked out windows. I was tightly bound. Alexis was also beside me, but she was asleep. "Let me out!" I poked the car door with my horn. It seemed to be made of some kind of reinforced plastic! I tried poking the windows, but they held. The back of the car was isolated from the front by a reinforced glass partition that seemed to be soundproof. The ropes binding us were too tough to break through. When the car finally stopped, a passenger door was flung open. A Bandit that I recognized as one of the people that I beat up while rescuing Sevin stood outside, smiling. "Hello there." he grinned and grabbed the scruff of my neck and dragged me out of the car. I was dragged roughly along the ground and so was Alexis, by a Warrior. The back of my skirt was torn as the Bandit pulled me along the pavement. He stopped at a wall and bent down. "Open up!" he banged on the wall. The wall......swung open on hinges and we were dragged in, bumping against some stairs leading down. "Hey! Let me go!" Alexis had woken up and was struggling. "Quiet!" the Warrior slapped her cheeks. She fell silent. A few minutes of dragging and bumping on steps brought us to a few steel doors, which the Bandit bypassed with a card. Another minute or so of dragging led us to an expansive underground lab, much larger than the one we broke Sevin out of. "Good, good. You have been of great help to me, Kon, Leo." Hugo Fidelo came running with a briefcase in his hand. He passed it to the Bandit. "10 million mesos for such an easy job. Piece of cake!" Kon grinned and patted Leo on the back. They both left. Seemed like it wouldn't be easy to escape this time. The cage bars were lasers and Hugo had inserted some sort of pill into my chest. I noticed that he made sure to touch me. Pervert. "Remotely-activated sleeping pill. Hugo just has to push the button and you'll drop to the floor." the Phoenix analyzed it. Getting out really would not be easy. The back of my shirt and the back of my skirt had been torn so much they did not exist anymore and Alexis's dress had multiple rips in the back. "Now we'll be able to finish the genetic mutation project." Hugo said gleefully as he held up a syringe full of blood. My blood! How had he gotten it!? I stared at the syringe in surprise. Someone reached a hook into the cage and latched onto Alexis's dress. She whirled around and lunged for the guy, but the laser bars held her in. Her dress was yanked off. "Why does this happen every time we come here!?" I complained, sitting sullenly in a corner of the cage. It was only a matter of time before they completely stripped us anyway. "Hey, sexy. Take off your bra." someone challenged me. Those perverted people had repeatedly tried to yank off my bra, but thanks to the sticky stuff, it wouldn't come off no matter how hard they pulled. "I can't." I replied. Alexis's bikini was yanked off and she tripped. "Okay, the DNA injector is ready. Who wants to volunteer as a test subject?" Hugo Fidelo smiled. Everyone shrank back from the cage. Someone managed to pull off Alexis's bra though. "No one wants it? Maybe I'll just pick someone...... Hey you!" Hugo pointed at a guy standing in front. He shrank back. Someone pushed him out and Hugo grabbed his arm, forcing him into a strange cylinder-like machine with a glass door. As he was pushed in, Hugo pressed a button and the glass door revolved into position, settling in a special groove for it. The guy inside banged on the door, but Hugo just chuckled and pressed another button. A pink gas wafted into the cylinder and the guy was covered in a couple of seconds. "Now, let's see what you look like." Hugo smiled and pressed another button. The glass door opened again and the pink gas flowed out, immediately getting sucked into a ventilator. A strange coughing sound came from inside the cylinder and a naked figure stepped out. It looked almost exactly like me! Except...... it had no horns, no wings, no tail, no silver hair. The men 'oohed' and 'aahed' when they saw it. The figure pressed a hand to its chest and felt around. "I have big boobs." it muttered. "What?" Hugo was surprised. He stared at the Artemis-clone and then at me. "I want the horns and stuff!" he exclaimed. The fake Artemis left the facility, naked. Someone else stepped forward from the crowd. "I want that body!" he ran into the cylinder. More people quickly followed. "Perverts, the lot of them." I muttered under my breath as Hugo pushed the guy out. The rest of the day was spent trying to take my blood again. Apparently, some degree of protection had worn off from the armour and my body wouldn't absorb physical contact anymore. All of the attempts to add my horns, wings and tail to people failed for some reason. "These powers don't come from your DNA, they come from your armour." Jakito chuckled lightly as a red-faced Hugo flew into a tantrum as another Artemis-clone without all my special body features stepped out from the cylinder. |
