Deep in the frigid heart of the frost covered Alps hidden along an old Roman road stands Baronick, the Ano Organisation headquarters. Its towering black stone spires pierce the sky like a blade as a blizzard kicks up hiding this ancient gothic fortress from the world. As the blizzard rages on three pairs of bright yellow lights pierce through the icy veil heading toward Baronick. Soon the lights stop at the ebony gate and the storm slowly lets up revealing three long silver painted limousines. A few moments pass the doors swing open and 3 figures dressed in black step out of their respective limousines. Soon the blizzard that had abated itself comes back with a vengeance stinging their fur with its icy kiss. The three furs quickly make their way into the stronghold away from the biting cold. They enter the foyer and servants from every species from golden retriever to mouse hurriedly removes their heavy coats and other accessories to reveal the three figures in their full black suits. One figure, a brown furred mouse with amber eyes fixes his collar and says with a soft shiver.

"Gentlemen, I welcome you to Baronick. I hope your stay here will be an enjoyable one." The two other figures nod respectfully. One of the other figures a radiant white and black spotted snow leopard with deep sapphire eyes replies calmly. "I'm sure everything will be satisfactory Eledin. Wouldn't you agree Zheng?" The last figure a stocky and imposing black tiger with fiery orange stripes says nothing as he peers down the hall until finally turning his head and bowing respectfully to his host Eledin before rising and saying deeply with power.

"I agree Saval, but before we settle in. I would like to see them in person if you don't mind." Eledin nods and snaps his fingers having the servants disperse from their presence heading back to their normal duties maintaining Baronick. Three pair of guards enter from an open door wearing grey and white camouflage armour carrying heavy assault rifles with their own particular bladed weapon resting upon their hip. As the guards fall into line their faces and species masked by their masks the three gentlemen proceed down the hall. The interior of Baronick is a labyrinth to anyone who hasn't been exposed to the inner sanctum of the fortress. Multiple passages way seeming to lead to nowhere while some leading to ever more doors and hallways. Disorienting to any intruder that would dare attack it or try to steal its secrets. The facilities inside Baronick are on the cutting edge of scientific advancement. The first shielding mechanisms where developed by Ano scientists and have been now reversed engineered and are beginning to spread around the world to most major advanced countries. The hallways take on a similar appearance of that of marble tilted floors and painted steel walls to give the illusion to its workers that it isn't a fortress on high alert. The body of furs turn a corner and there at the end of the marble tiled hall stands a single elevator. They proceed down the hall and Eledin, Saval, and Zheng enter the elevator and it shuts behind them. Inside the golden elevator the done is much more relaxed among the colleagues as they rest on the holding bars feeling the soft cushion of a scarlet carpet on their shoes. Eledin takes out a golden key and sticks it in its respective hole and twists it right. The elevator jerks softly as it slowly descends into the bowels of ancient fortress. There is silence for brief moment until Zheng says coldly.

"Are you sure you captured him Eledin? My government does not like being led on and have told me that if this is a joke I am to cut our investments." Saval quickly adds on. "I am also in accord Eledin; we may be old college friends but I can only push my board of directors so far until they begin to bite back."

Eledin chuckles softly at his old friends flicking his tail about as he does until he replies.

"My old friends do not worry; I would not have called you out here to my family's ancient stronghold in the middle of a blizzard if I didn't capture them." Soon the elevator dings as they reach their destination. The doors slowly slide open and the three furs are greeted by another row of guards standing at attention ready to accompany them. They exit the elevator into a vast cavern hollowed out into the very rock. Gazing upward are hundreds of circular platforms coiling around holding cells for the organisation's prisoners and most hated adversaries. The three furs walk up to hexagon plate. It pulses and lifts off the ground with ionic propulsion. The plate slowly ascends up the central shaft along every platform stands at least 4 guards for every cell. Each cell has itself an erected a shield holding the prisoner inside. Every cell is dedicated to hold their respective prisoner. Locking off their major strengths and weaknesses. No one has ever escaped Baronick. The hexagonal plate stops about 7 rows up and attaches itself to the platform. Two guards stand on opposite ends of the shield and salute as the three furs approach. They peer inside the cell and see a grey and off white furred wolf wearing a black gi with red trimming and a red martial arts belt. The gi had multiple symbols etched in white as one major red wolf symbol etched on the chest. The wolf is bound to the cold steel floor his hand and feet paws bound in spherical orbs metallised to the ground holding him in place. His purple eyes gaze up and begin to glow. The crackling of lightning begins to be heard until the spheres glow as the wolf grunts in pain until eventually the crackling stops and his eyes revert to normal. The automated voice of the cell activates and says.

"Prisoner 857, Name Lang Shu, birthplace China, province, Henan. Species known as Langren. Abilities: superior martial arts skill, Lightning Generation, and Soul Sensation." Zheng gazes at the prisoner with contempt giving a low but audible snarl.

"I'm impressed my friend. My government has been looking for him for quite some time." Shu hears Zheng's words and lurches forward but is instantly brought down by the sheer pain of the spheres digging into his fur and flesh. "Yes Lang Shu, you will be brought to justice along with the rest of your miserable tribe."

Shu grunts in pain as he leers through the shield his eyes glowing with rage and malice as the trio walks away from his cell going to the next one. They stand before another cell and peer in. They see what can only be described as an orange furred Kitsune with white and black tailtips and deep sea blue wings with cyan celestial markings upon his arms and face. He wears a black robe upon his body. His cell was specifically made to keep his abilities neutered and weak. His tails were spread apart and the tips bound in a special silver that absorbs his natural abilities. His arms are held up by chains on the ceiling of the cell. The chains emitting a faint scarlet metallic glow that stings and cuts his wrists. His legs bound in the same spheres that hold Shu in place. The automated voice activates.

"Prisoner 935, Name Zenion Infinitium, birthplace unknown, Species Phoenix/Kitsune hybrid. Abilities: Baguzang martial art prodigy, master Bo staff user, magical abilities of the phoenix, and multiple cases of different forms of elemental magic and cosmic. Upon his person, his staff and 12 orbs were stripped and placed in another part of the facility for safety reasons." Saval looks at the hybrid and rubs his paws happily giving a soft chuckle.

"Excellent, I'm impressed you captured him Eledin. He's been evading the Pentagon Organization for quite some time. Now I can return with him to the organization and we can properly have our way with him. I'll take his orbs and staff when I take my leave." Zenion growls viciously upon hearing his orbs and staff taken away as he snaps.

"Give me back my orbs and my staff or I wil!-" The chains around his wrist sear his wrists causing him to cry out in pain as the spheres constrict crushing his legs. He groans and winces in indescribable pain as Saval laughs at the misery before him seeing the beautiful blue wings hang low in defeat. Eledin turns to his compatriots and says completely giddy with the news he will soon share.

"Now to show you both my favourite prisoner." They take a few more steps and stand before the last cell in this row. They peer in to see another hybrid. A tan and cream furred spider/stoat hybrid with a pink Mohawk and bright emerald wings forcefully held to the ground with titanium spheres his neck forced to stay upright by a shackle as his entire body is bound in a special mesh suit that seems to contract and crush him if he makes a move. They see the flicker of a flat screen television with images of other spider hybrids being slaughtered in loop either in picture form or full video of Ano soldiers slaughtering families of spider hybrids in droves. The automated voice activates and says.

"Prisoner 101, name, Crown Prince Silvian Elbar Spidaria, birthplace, Rome, Italy, species called the Spidix, his sub species known as a Spidoat. Abilities: Prodigal Fencer, Darkness manipulation, and a demigod, a child of Hades."

Eledin sneers happily as Saval and Zheng raise and eye brow at this prisoner. Saval is first to break the silence and says.

"The crown prince of your families most hated enemy. Your ancestors must be looking down with pride." Eledin composes himself and replies. "I know they are. The Ano family lost everything to these monstrosities and abominations. Now with their crown prince in my paws they will have to respond and when they do, I will rid the world of these creatures and any other unnatural hybrid or creature that rears its head against the natural order." They hear a faint laugh emanates from the cell as they see two glowing emerald eyes leer at them. Eledin crosses his arms and flicks his tail about annoyingly.

"Do you have something to say fallen prince?" He asks coldly. The laughter ceases and Silvian's fair yet dark voice snarls.

"One day every single one of us so called abominations will break free and when we do, we will tear you and your family and then your entire organization. Just like my family did hundreds of years ago." Eledin laughs off the threat and retorts. "That day will never arrive and for that comment you can watch the video of your mother dying to our troops again." Silvian snarls and thrashes about as his fangs drip his red venom onto the ground as he seethes with rage knowing he'll be forced to watch that horror over and over again.

"Gentlemen, I'll transfer your prisoners over to you within the following week, but you two have to catch the next flight out of Italy and you must get down the mountains before the next major storm." A German Shepard servant walks up with a case and a long black tube and hands them to Saval, he knowing completely what they are.

"Excellent." He says happily. "Well Eledin thank you for your service to us both we will take our leave now."

They shake each other's paws and return to the hexagonal plate and vanish from their prisoners. Silvian, Zenion, and Shu watch the lights of the elevator rise back to the surface above. Soon the lights with the Cavern turn off and the only thing seen is the soft blue illumination of the shields barring the prisoners and the bright neon orange head visors of the patrolling guards. Hours go by of constant patrolling and agonizing isolation that is the hallmark of this dark dank despairing prison. Shu turns his head to the left and right whispering a soft prayer in a language unknown to the modern world as he looks up seeing a pine coloured cloaked figure standing before the shield. He looks for the eye shine of this fur, from its body type he could tell it was canid but no species could be identified. The figure raises its arm and clicked a few buttons on a mechanism on its wrist and the spheres that were holding steam and unlock themselves splitting in half falling onto the ground with a small thud. The blue shields softly hum and flicker before vanishing. Shu shakily rises to his feet paws wincing from the pain endured by his body his eyes still firmly locked upon the cloaked fur. The cloaked fur bows to him respectfully and says in a soft whisper almost inaudible with how quiet it is.

"You don't have much time, I give you this small chance, do not waist it." The figure turns and walks out of vison. Shu hobbles to the entrance of his cell and sees his two guards oozing life upon the ground their throats sliced open. Shu's ears flick about hearing distinctive sound of heavy boots on steel as a patrol of guards have been sent to assess the situation of two guard visors disappearing. Shu takes a calming breath and his purple eyes begin to glow readying himself for the fight. The clanking of boots getting ever closer Shu takes a final breath as the patrol of four guards stop immediately assessing that their fellow guardsmen have been slain. Shu hears the clicking of the guns signalling they are ready to fire it is now or never. With a deliberate hard step Shu turns the corner and drops into a distinctive horse stance his paws crackling with an aura of electricity his eyes fiery with an almost zen like calm. He punches forward sending an arc of lightning forward striking the captain of the platoon in the chest sending him flying backward his gun discharging as his finger squeezes the trigger out due to the muscle spasm of the lightning coursing through his body. The bullets of the discharge wiz through the air one hitting the control console of Zenion's cell causing it to circuit and fail. The shield drops instantly as the sound of the mechanisms' holding Zenion begin to unlock. Immediately the other three guards begin to open fire upon Shu while one guard yells into her ear piece to the guard station which was built on the ceiling of the cavern giving it vison over every row of prisoners. Shu jumps back into his cell avoiding the bullets whizzing by him. He hadn't been in a pitched battle in quite some time, his heart was beating furiously as he kept his zen like calm. His left ear lifts up hearing the scream of a guard falling to his death and more gun fire. He peeks out of the cell seeing the other two guards wrapped up in the nine tails of Zenion. He snarls and throws them off the side of the row to their deaths. The two furs walk up to each other slowly each one assessing the other if they are an enemy or not. After a few moments they nod in understanding that they need each other to survive this. After a few moments a piercing high pitched siren rings throughout the cavern as the general alarm is sounded throughout Baronick. Eledin now sitting in his homely brown carpeted office surrounded by the luxury of being an ancient family. Ancient pictures of ancestors looking nobly down over all whom enter the room, on pedestals ancient relics of marble and gold. Build into the wall a massive fireplace was build it now providing the only heat of the room. In a second of finishing his final report of the day he hears the siren. For a moment he thought to himself that's impossible this fortress is impregnable. No manner of creature could break free of their holdings, every employee has been rigorously tested both mentally and physically to brainwash wash them into the Ano Cult. A few more seconds pass which felt like an eternity he answers his screaming phone and snaps orders into it hoarsely.

"Lock down the perimeter let nothing escape this fortress! I want them alive if able, if you can't destroy them!" He slams the phone down as he growls in annoyance and frustration. He pulls the right sleeve of his suit up and whispers into the watch.

"Ready my jet for take-off and message Saval and Zheng about the predicament."

Back down in the cavern Shu and Zenion are pinned inside Zenion's cell poking their heads out every now and again firing a bit of lightning or fire as the soldiers throw hot lead at them. Bullets ricocheting around them and singing as the strike the steel. Shu holds his paws together forcing the lightning into a condensed ball in his palms. He turns to Zenion and growls.

"Im going to zap their weapons giving you a second to roast them! You ready?" Zenion grits his teeth and growls his tails flicking about as embers form on the tips. As another barrage of bullets whizz by them Shu slides out of the cell and from his paws tendrils out whips of lightning striking the guns of the soldiers.

"Now!" Shu barks as Zenion jumps over his fellow cell mate his tail and paws unleashing a torrent of orange flame. Cries of agony ring throughout the cavern as the guardsmen of the row burn away. Both prisoners stop their magic and pant softly from the fatigue of being locked up. Shu's glowing eyes returned to normal and said.

"Thank you for your help. Zenion is your name correct?" Zenion turns to him and replies.

"Yes my name is Zenion and yours is Lang Shu correct?"

"Indeed it is, but you can call me Shu for now." Both furs exchange a firm paw shake, but soon they hear dark terrible thuds coming from down the row. They peer down the dark hallway seeing a heavily build silhouette making its way toward them. They both steady themselves getting into their preferred fighting stances. Shu's being that of a unique style only found within his tribe while Zenion beside him drops into a formal Baguzang stance. His right paw extends into an open palm while his left paw down by his hip in a similar fashion. The silhouette marches its way toward the two until it becomes visible within the low light. This guardsman is different, it is tall and broad. Its suit appears to be augmented with tiny rounded rods pocking out from its metallic suit. Its helmet gave off that this guardsman is that of a bulky hyena with a twisted smile in eternal perverse laughter. Zenion and Shu shift for a moment at the ghastly sight. Shu's eyes glow again and strikes the air forward sending a lightning bolt toward the hyena. The lightning cracks and seems to flow over the armour like a wave as the bolt strikes the rock wall across the open chasm of the row to the other side of the cavern. The hyena begins to chuckle and then laugh madly as it begins to charge at the two furs. Zenion reignites himself and hurls one or two fire balls at the hyena hoping to burn It away. The rods of the armour seem to click and extend making a blue personal shield around the hyena protecting it from the fiery assault. With a mad cackle the hyena brought his shoulder down and rams into Shu sending him hurtling through the air back toward his cell. The massive brute turns and back hands Zenion into a cell console. He cries out in pain as it zaps his back with a few volt surges he slumps to the ground as the brute makes his way toward him. As it got closer another bolt of lightning surges over its armour. With mad revelry the hyena charges over toward Shu now standing up his eyes glowing brightly in furious anger ready to fight this horror. Zenion slowly stands and spreads his wings making sure no muscle had taken too much injury. He feels a paw grasp his shoulder, his body tenses up until he hears a heavy pained voice say to him.

"Thank you... Zenion." His eyes turn to meet the now freed Silvian his emerald wings tattered and ruffled. His robes look tarnished and slashed as if he had been stabbed and attack before his capture. His emerald eyes faintly glow as he breathes softy regaining his strength. Their holding cells had drained them of much of their strength. Silvian sees Shu duelling the monstrosity alone holding firm for now. Silvian's white fangs extend in a furious anger as he balls up his paws into fists. He turns to Zenion and snarls out.

"We cannot defeat this thing one on one. That armour is designed to provide the ultimate protection to its wearer. We have to strike it all at once so that the armour doesn't know which to defend the most so that one of us can deliver the killing blow." Zenion nods and yells out to Shu.

"Shu disengage and come to us!" Shu growls in frustration as he jumps over the beast and runs back toward Silvian and Zenion. "Get ready to fire a bolt."

"But it doesn't work against the armour!" He snaps turning to Zenion and his new ally. Silvian turns to him and snaps.

"We don't have time to argue now do it!" Shu snarls at being ordered to but begins to form a bolt of lightning in his palms as Zenion reignites himself. The hyena laughs uproariously slamming his paws upon the ground seeming to go feral running on all fours toward the trio. "Now!" Silvian shouts and the three furs blast the creature with their magic. Bolts of lightning crack outward as the flames set the beast ablaze while the darkness of the cavern seems to dance at the command of Silvian lashing out light tendrils ripping at the armour. The hyena's armour begins to defend its wearer as best it can. The Hyena holds up his paws as the lightning arcs around the armour as the shield begins to waver, as it goes down for a moment a wisp is heard as a shadow slides over the armour and a loud gurgle is soon heard from the monstrosity as it slumps to the ground with Silvian standing over the corpse with a dagger forged of shadows and darkness in his paw dripping with the blood of the creature. They stare as they were taken aback by gruesome death of the hyena. Silvian lets go of the dagger as it wisps away into shadows.

"We can all talk later, but can't stay here." He says noticing the two furs staring at him. They nod cautiously and look down as they see the elevator coming down depositing more soldiers into the cavern and see them slowly stand on hexagon tiles rising up to them. Silvian dashes over to the wall and extends his left paw and makes a circle into the earth as darkness coalesces into an oval doorway. He motions with his head for them to follow as he runs through. Zenion and Shu look at the shadowy door with anxiety then back at the soldiers coming to give them a quick death. They gulp and rush through the door and they appear outside in an abandoned living room of an ancient Roman Insulae. The doorway closes behind them as they all pant lying on the old wooden floor.

"Where are we?" Shu pants looking around the old dusty room. The room was small and untouched by time it seems. Ancient mosaics line the ceiling and there was one window showing that it was dusk outside. Overhead they hear the roar of jet engines over their heads going south toward Rome. Silvian stands and turns south looking at the jet vanishing into the sunset and says.

"This was the house of Spidix rebellion which led my people to freedom. We are safe for the moment." The two furs stand next to Silvian watching the jet vanish. Zenion thinks for a moment at this uneasy alliance of the trio. They needed each other they all thought. They are being hunted by three of the most powerful organizations of the world. They will be companions for some time might as well relax in each other's company. They sit down in a circle and begin to introduce themselves to one another. Shu is the first to begin.

"My name is Lang Shu, I am from the Henan province of China. I am the chief of my tribe the Tiantang de Liao Ya. I have been on the run from the Chinese government for quite some time for my so called crimes." Silvian and Zenion bow courteously to him as Silvian begins.

"My name is Silvian Elbar Spidaria, I am the crown prince of Spidaria and the Spidix race. I am one of the last of my kind." Shu and Zenion bow to the crown prince courteously then Zenion states.

"My name is Zenion Infinitium and I don't rightly know where I am from nor what country I belong to but I am also hunted, and my family has been taken from me." His voice trails off looking down at his paws. Silvian and Lang put their paws on his shoulders. Shu looks at the two of them and says sternly.

"We will get what has been taken from us and I make this vow to you both, I will not rest until everyone is free of this oppression." A small here here is roused from the other two furs as they stand up looking toward the door. Silvian smiles and takes the first step forward and turns the ancient knob.

"Time for the resurgence of hope." He turns the knob of the door and the three furs walk out toward the dusty ancient roman road going into the country side with light hearts eager for the adventure ahead.
