With that said Let's start Chapter 15 of Highschool Life.

It's been about seven months since anything really interesting happened and everyone's getting ready for spring break. Genetech didn't try to cause trouble for me or my friends, and Kloree couldn't find any new information about us. It seemed almost as if everything was just waiting. Waiting for what I don't know, but waiting is what it seemed like all of us were doing. I walked into the highschool with Kloree, Shandi, Dwayne, and Ayrean. She was the shortest a long in her pregnancy and the others were all exempt because of it. Ms. Rianna was also out of school, and I was in deep shit with every party involved. The doctor said that Dasher was do in about three days, so I planned on dealing with any trouble today and making sure that any effects stayed away from her and the others. Reina had already given birth to a pair of wolfox twins. One was a hybrid like me, and the other was a wolfox anthro. I pulled myself out of the thoughts of Rianna and the others as Rodrik walked up and said "Hey Jake, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that your brother doesn't want to kill you, the bad news is Genetech employees are all over the school."

I growled softly and said "I don't know what they're looking for, but I have a feeling it's not good. So it looks like we'll have to interfere with whatever they've got planned. Rodrik, go get some of the others, tell them to be ready for a fight, and meet me at the gym in half an hour." He nodded and ran off, while Kloree and Shandi looked at me questioningly, and I said "Do whatever you guys want, I have to go to my car and get ready." They nodded and I headed for my mustang figuring I'd grab my weapons out of the trunk, then head to the gym like I'd told Rodrik. Ayrean and Dwayne walked alongside me while Kloree and Shandi headed their own ways. A part of me wanted to ask them for help, but I pushed it down and decided I wouldn't ask them unless Rodrik couldn't get any volunteers. I glanced at Dwayne and Ayrean then asked "Why are you two coming with me? Don't you plan on heading to class?" They shook their heads and I sighed then pulled out my keys and popped open my trunk. They watched over my shoulder as I started moving around the veritable arsenal of weaponry in my trunk until I found my sword, bow, and quiver. I put my quiver and bow on my shoulder. II slipped my scabbard onto my back then shoved my sword into it with the hilt of it within reach of my right hand.

Ayrean reached in then glanced through my stuff and shook her head growling. I blinked and glanced at Dwayne who smiled slightly and glanced at me with eyes that glowed with an inner power. She pulled a katana that was larger than most I'd ever seen out of thin air then pulled a pair of morningstars out of her bag. I blinked and started to ask how something so small could hold those and everything else she had when I heard a voice say "Dimmensional pocket." I blinked and let it go then started for the gym deciding I'd let the girls do whatever they wanted. When we got to the gym I glanced at Ayrean and said "In your condition, I don't think you should be doing this." She growled at me and I held up my hands then said "Speaking of which, when are you do?" Her growl turned into a slight smile as she said " Two weeks, until the last week before I'm fine." I sighed and let it go deciding I wouldn't let anything that could harm her close. Then decided the same went for a few others who were to stubborn for their own good including Sheila, Sam, Kitty, and Liz.

I growled softly as we got to the Gym, because Tam and Jordan were standing there. I walked over to them, my hand resting on my sword hilt, and asked "What the hell are you two doing here?" Jordan smiled slightly in embarrasment then pointed at Tam and stepped back. I growled softly and said "I should bloody well neuder you. I promised your girlfriend, you'd stay at my place and look over Dasher." Tam smiled while waiting for me to cool down. My growl intensified in level when Sam, Liz, Ayrean, Dwayne, and Kitty walked up. Argo, Rodrik, Jasper, Jonas, and Caine followed them. I glanced at Rodrik and he shrugged his shoulders trying to hold back a look of surprise at seeing Sam, Tam and the others there. I sighed softly letting my anger slip away since I knew that it wasn't going to do me any good and said "Sam I thought I asked you to stay home, same for Liz and Kitty." Ayrean smiled realizing that she and Dwayne weren't being included in my tirade. I turned on her and said "You should head to class, I don't want you to get hurt by the enemy or a friend in the dark." She stared at me and I guess she saw the concern in my eyes because she smiled then patted me on the cheek and walked a few steps away.

When Tam saw I wasn't about to yell at everyone he said "I would have stayed at your place, except that Dasher is well guarded by Brandon and Ronny. Sam said she was coming here, then Kitty and Liz agreed with her. What could I do other than come a long and make sure that you weren't worrying about them to much. Jordan agreed with me and the two of us drove over here. Does that answer all of your questions involving me little brother?" I growled softly and pointed at my sword with my left hand then he pulled out a large claymore that ended in a sharp point. I raised an eyebrow curiosity shining in my eyes and he said "I had this made last week. It came to me in a dream that I'd need it to protect those I care about." I nodded in understanding since I put a lot of faith in dreams myself then glanced at everyone else. The girls growled at me and I sighed then held up my hands in resignation.They nodded as if that was the only thing that would happen and we walked into the gym. I silently grumbled under my breath about the girs being extremely stubborn. Everyone glanced at me and I shook my head slowly, both trying to calm down and clear my head, then held up a hand for everyone to stop.

They glanced at me and I motioned for them to come closer. As everyone walked over I studied the layout of the gym then went through the map I'd seen a few days ago and said "Alright this is the only school gym I've ever heard of that has three floors. I think we should split into three groups and that each group should take a different floor. Anyone have a problem with that?" Everyone other than Rodrik shook their heads. I glanced at him and he smiled slightly then said "Just one, I want to lead one of the groups." I nodded holding back a slight smile and said "You, Tam, and I are are going to lead the groups. We'll each take our own team. That alright with you two?" Tam and Rodik nodded then Tam started for the doors of the first floor while Rodrik headed for the second floor. I sighed and muttered "Looks like my group gets the basement." They walked back over when they saw I wasn't going to dispute their choices and I said "Alright, now we need to decide who's going with who." Rodrik and Tam both smiled. I sighed softly and said "You two already haver your choices in mind, don't you." They nodded and I shook my head thinking "Why the hell do I even bother trying to take charge, when it wasn't really necessary for this particular situation." I stretched out slightly and said "Take your pick then, I'll take everyone else and we'll meet back here when we're done." The nodded and started calling off the names of the people they were going to take with them.

Rodrik chose Argo, Jasper, and Steve, who'd walked up and heard our plan while we were outside. Tam took Mac, who'd walked up with Steve, Shandi and Kloree, who'd just walked up carrying their own weapons, andCaine. I smiled slightly and said "I guess the girls are going with me." They nodded and we started for the basement. I noticed that Dwayne was deliberately giving Argo the cold shoulder and thought "Remind me to never make her this pissed at me." I pulled out a couple of flashlights and handed one to each of the girls. They glanced at me and I said "I don't know if they have lights down here. If they do, then the flashlihgts aren't important, if not then at least we're ready." They seemed to think about it for a while then everyone other than I Ayrean nodded. I glanced at her and she tossed it back to me then made a thin orb of light appear over her hand. I sighed slighly and she asked "What have a problem with the subtleties of druidic magic?" I shook my head and kept my mouth shut wondering how to explain what was going through my mind. She glanced at me and seemed to know I was having trouble expressing myself. She smiled slightly and said "Why don't you wait until we get done here, before you try to explain." I nodded and the other girls gave her dark looks.

I sighed softly and went down the stairs first letting my eyes adjust to the darkness until I found the light switch. I tried to turn it on, however it didn't seem to have any power. I sighed softly, then whistled for the girls to come down and leaned against the wall. They walked down slowly and I closed my eyes to block out the beams of the flash lights since they were waving them back and forth studying the area. I pulled a pair of sunglasses out of my pocket and put them on then glanced at the others to see that Ayrean and Sam were leading, with Dwayne and Kitty right behind them, while Liz and Jordan guarding the rear. I glanced at them and Ayrean asked "Why are you wearing sunglasses in a dark room?" I smiled slightly and said "It'll preserve my vision if we pass into a well lit room. I don't trust Genetech, and I really don't trust the fact that this part of the basement has no power yet I can hear the hum of a generator. If you don't believe me, then everyone be quiet and listen." She nodded and motioned for everyone to be quiet then we all stood there and listened. After a few minutes I heard that soft humming sound again. I glaned at the others and saw that they were nodding their heads slowly. I followed the sound and everyone else followed me with their lights ahead of us. Ayrean smiled slightly and her orb floated ahead of us, and kept ahead at a distance of about three feet lighting up a small part of the area.

I smiled at her in thanks then ran ahead. The girls let out surprised growl, hisses, and barks, seeming surprised I would leave them behind. After a few minutes I cam to a T junction and pulled out a piece of chalk then drew an arrow pointing to the right tunnel. I figured it would show the girls where I was going, and slowly started down it. I stopped at the end of the hallway, and saw that It branched into three tunells. I growled softly and said "Center, Left, or Right." then closed my eyes and listened for the sound of humming. It seemed to come from the center tunnel and the right tunnel both. I sighed and mummbled "RIght makes right." Then drew an arrow down the right tunnel and followed it. Ayrean's glowing orb suddenly shot out from a head of me and I kept walking figuring she'd called it back. I got to the middle of the hallway and heard voices coming from a head of me so I slipped against the wall and kept going forward at a very slow pace. I tried to be sure I wasn't making a sound at first then realized that the people were arguing so loudly, I had nothing to worry about. I sighed softly and mummbled "All I expected to do was walk down here, find a few old pieces of equipment and convince the girls to go home, then go back and check on Dasher. However we get down here and the place is a bloody catacomb of trouble." I growled softly then walked up to where I could hear the two who were arguing.

I could tell right away that one was male, and the other was female. The male was obviously an anthro because he occasionally switched into more feral growls and barks than english words. The other one was human because she complained about being unable to understand him when he growled. I walked forward a few more steps and heard the male say "........ thinks that the boy is starting to get way to good at escaping those we send after him. He's gotten away from atleast five of our men, and he even managed to change Agent K to his side of the line. If he somehow finds the rebels, we may be unable to stop them from winning." The girl sighed and said "I don't know why their so worried about a teenager. He hasn't even graduated yet, and anyway we have his parents and grandparents under surveilance so if they try to tell him anything, we'll know it right away." I held back a growl and silently thanked my parents for the scent suppressant they'd given me a few weeks ago. It was the only reason that those two didn't realize I was there. The male growled and continued "I know it's important we find a way to control him, but what about the others? Has anyone found all of the escaped experiments like Delta, Gamma, and Valkyrie?" I didn't catch what the girl said because the male ran his hands along the wall and they made a screeching noise. I shook my head and heard the girl say ",,,,,,,,, is the only one who keeps track of all the experiments. He still won't say what the boy was a part of before his 'parents' took him in."

I growled so softly they didn't hear it, but used it to control myself. I wanted to jump out and rip their throats out until the guy said "Do you think we can finally get idiot every thinks is in charge of genetech yet." I heard the girl laugh, then say something I couldn't make out. The guy seemed to be grinning because his voice was extremely cheerful when he said "So by the end of the month we can finally start going through with the plans they've been holding back. Did something change their minds?" The girl seemed to be thinking for a while then said "I'm not high enough on the scale to know, but it appears the rebels are making more trouble, and a new player joined the game." I blinked wondering who this new player was then heard the two of them walking away and cursed. I glanced down the hallway and noticed they were walking into a lighted corridor and realized that part of why they couldn't see me was their eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness. I sighed softly and thought "Well there goes the feeling that I'm getting really good at keeping myself hidden when I need to be." I heard footsteps coming up behind me and dropped down to a crouch then watched as Ayrean and Sam ran up I walked up behind them and covered their mouths.

They started to fight me until I said "Quiet, it's me. It appears that Genetech's been split from the inside, so I guess Caine's dad doesn't know anything about what's been happening at the school. Up ahead are a few of the people who have been causing us trouble, so go take everyone back up to the main entrance, and explain what you found to the others. I'll be there very shortly." I felt them nod under my hands, then I let go and they ran back down the corridor. I smiled after them and walked forward a few steps until I was on the edge of the light and stared into it letting my eyes adjust. I silently chuckled to myself as I thought "If this this the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm dead, then I must have been a really bad guy because this sure as hell isn't heaven." I walked forward a few steps and glanced around the room seeing cages, vats full of strange colored liquids, and a giant computer. I figured this would be Caine and Ronny's dream since they were complete computer nerds. I slowly walked around commiting everything to memory since I didn't have a camera on me. After three circuits of the room I heard someone walking up and ran back out to the hallway I thought I'd come through. I silently thanked whatever beings were listening that I'd worn my sun glasses or the darkness would have completely blinded me. As it was I could make out the walls and vague images of any objects in my way.

Which was good because I had to jump over two such objects as I ran. I ducked under what appeared to be a thing of pipes and realized I'd obviously taken a wrong turn or the wrong corridor. I sighed and kept running then noticed I either had to take a turn or hit a wall. I sighed and thought "Well it appears that my sense of direction was wrong, and since up to now I've been taking right turns. I'll turn right, until I find an exit." then ran down the right corridor. I blinked when I heard the sound of footsteps behind me and put a hand along the wall as I ran, looking for a side corridor. My hand found it and my body followed on instinct. The person ran past and I smiled glad that they were even more blinded by the darkness than me. I waited until I heard their footsteps receding then walked back out into the main corridor and kept walking. I figured that the person who'd been following me had thought I'd run ahead and taken a turn somewhere, so when I came to the first split I kept going straight. After what felt like an hour of walking, but was probably only fifteen minutes, the area ahead of me started getting lighter. I closed my eyes to let them adjust to the light then stopped at the edge of where the light seemed brightest and opened my eyes. I stood their staring ahead of me in shock. The room was full of animals, and creatures that could have been anthro's except more wild and much less humanoid.

I growled in disgust seeing that a few of them were misformed and slowly drew my sword. I walked forward a few steps then jumped as a red beam went across the floor. I didn't know what kind of laser it was, but I had a feeling that it would be trouble for me if I touched it. After a few minutes the beam vanished and I dropped back to the floor glad that I'd been taking lessons from an old friend on how to hang without overworking your muscles. The animals, and the beasts all stared at me and I heard the voice that had mentioned dimensional pockets say "So much like the pits of Nereus, I wonder if these beasts also fear those that wield magic. Why not make an energy ball and find out?" I growled at it and resisted my curiosity which was telling me to atleast try and see what happened. I knew how to do it because I'd heard it in Ayrean's thoughts while we were walking. I was still trying to get used to my ability of reading minds which had only recently manifested to the point where I could hear them all the time. Which was part of why I was having so much trouble concentrating when I'd gotten into this room. I could hear the thoughts of the animals and the creatures, all of those thoughts together were running around in my head. I slowly shook my head and took three steps forward, then jumped back as a blade dropped down where I'd just been standing. I studied it and held back a growl of annoyance realizing that it was made of a black iron.

One of the creatures looked at me and started growling, my instincts kicked in and I growled back. My ears laid back on my head and my tail raised slightly. It looked at me and I felt my canines sharpen then it turned away with a slight yip. I nodded and my ears went forward. I walked past it to each of the pens and studied each animal, and beast. I noticed that some seemed to have more intellegence than others, while some seemed to rely purely on instinct. I walked around studying each and everyone of them and trying to decide if I should let them out or not. Then I 'heard' sound coming from behind one of the walls. It was really my abilities picking up on someone's thoughts, however my mind translated it to sound like my ears would. I growled softly and checked the edge of my sword then sheathed it deciding not to waste the edge on a steel wall and pulled my bow off my shoulder. I slowly put one of my modified explosive arrows and pointed it at the wall then started backing up. I had a feeling that on the other side of the wall was a room that was locked from the outside. I don't know why I had that feeling, but the things I'd heard made me think I was right. I let loose the arrow I'd set to the string, and watched as it blew a hole in the wall. On the otherside was a figure wrapped in robes that were tied to its body. I walked over and untied them to find that it was a dragon fox crossbreed. They snarled at me believing I was an enemy and I jumped back while slipping my bow on my shoulder. I showed them my empty hands and said "I guess you've been held here a while."

Shi nodded and got uip then walked back into the room and grabbed hir equipment. I started to ask hir a question and shi just glared at me then walked off through a doorway I hadn't noticed before. I sighed and glaned at the wall then heard the voice explain how to repair it and let loos my ability on the wall. It was repaired, but I felt as if I'd been running for a little while. Every creature in the room reacted to my sealing the wall differently. Some rushed at me growling, others shied away, and others still just sat there studying me. I nodded, figuring that the people who'd locked hir away would have a mystery on their hands, and walked down an entirely different pathway. I pulled on my sunglasses again since the corridors were getting darker and kept changing which path I would follow when I came to a t junction, or a triple split. I kept resisting the urge to pull out my sword and rush back into the first room then slice all of those abominations to pieces, especially since some of them actually had been begging me to kill them. I loosened my sword in its scabbard again deciding that if anyone made trouble I would see them bleed for what they had done here. I growled deep in my throat letting instinct, hatred, anger, and disgust all mingle with the single syllable sound. I heard footsteps coming my way then heard a voice say "Stop, If you don't stop I have permission from my superiors to kill you." I growled louder this time and drew my sword then ran my hand down it letting it taste my blood and awaken. The figure seemed surprised and said "It appears you're injured, then I guess I'll just capture you and take you in for questioning."

I smiled slightly as they rushed at me and slammed my sword forward aiming slightly below and to the left of where the figures voice seemed to come from and felt my sword meet bone, then metal as I kept pushing until I pinned them to the wall. I soflty whispered the words to make a ball of light appear and made it flash in my opponents eyes as I stared him in the face. He tried to look back at me, but couldn't. So he settled for laughing and saying "It appears one of the prisoners escaped. No big deal, if I don't report in they'll come looking for me." I motioned the ball higher up and stared into his eyes. He blinked and said "You're not a prisoner, in fact you're the boy that everyone is looking for. What do you plan to do boy?" I smiled darkly and he shivered then yelped in pain. I stepped back and studied him, now that he obviously wasn't going to try and do anything. He was a tall lion anthro, which explained his sense of smell, and why his voice seemed rather deep. I growled softly and he shivered then I slammed a dagger into his free shoulder pinning both of his arms into the wall. I smiled slightly realizing that my more primal emotions were reveling in the fear and anger I felt flowing off of him in waves. I stared at him and started to see a blue aura around him filled with red and black streaks. I studied them for a few seconds then pulled out the knife and more streaks appeared. I nodded realizing that some of those aura streaks were pain, others anger.

I stepped back and ripped my sword out of his shoulder then pointed it at his throat and said softly "Tell me who the hell you are, and what the fuck you're doing with those poor creatures and the tubs of chemicals." He smield at me darkly and the streaks of red turned to a strange putrid yellow. I snarled and pushed him back with my blade then kicked him in the stomach causing more black streaks to appear. He growled at me as the tip of my blade drew blood from him bending forward and I pulled it away long enough to head butt him knocking his head back into the wall. He yelled out in pain and I covered his mouth as I laid the side of my blade against his throat. I said softly in his ear "I want my answers, or your life. Your choice monster." I pulled my hand away and he smiled darkly then coughed up a small trickle of blood and rubbed his right shoulder. I watched him for a few seconds then realized I wasn't going to get an answer and the part of me that hated everything these people had done started to take over. I turned to walk away, then turned back around and slammed my sword through his chest up to the hilt. He coughed a small amount of blood into my eyes then said softly "You'll find out soon enough, because my colleagues are surrounding you, even as I breathe my last breath." I ripped my sword out and spun in one quick cut, but only managed to rip open two of my new opponents. I realized at this point there was no reason to keep fighting, and sheathed my sword then waited to see what they would do.

They rushed forward and snapped manacles onto my wrists before I could lash out again, and one of them took my weapons. My sword gave off a soft glow and I shook my head, which told it not to move, and hid the words I was muttering to dispel the orb of light I'd made. When it vanished my opponents were at a greater disadvantage than I, however, I allowed them to lead me back to the first lab where all of the containers filled with liquid were. They threw me into the middle of the room and two figures walked forward to study me. One was human male with heartless brown eyes, black hair like a raven's wing, and a scar running across the front of his throat. The other was a beautiful vixen with strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes that seemed to express some small concern, and a nice figure. I silently cursed myself for being a sex hound as the man walked forward and cut the strap holding my quiver onto my shoulder, then tossed it to his underlings. They caught it and took it to wherever the rest of my equipment was being held, then he grabbed me by the face and said softly "You've cost me three good men today boy, and for that you will pay." I smiled but in the back of my mind the only thoughts running through it were "Dasher I'm so sorry I can't be there. I hope you and the others will be fine until I find a way back to the house." I growled and spat in the guys eye then glanced at the girl who walked up and pulled him off me.

They seemed to have a conversation then she pushed him away and walked over with a slight smile. I sighed and she said "You know, I think my colleague wants to kill you for all the trouble you've caused us." I nodded slightly and she said "What is it about you males that causes you to want to fight each other all the time?" I raised an eyebrow then my tail snaked around and pointed at my ears. She stared at me confused, so it pointed at my fangs, then my hands which had claws on them because of how angry I'd been. She blinked and said "Ah, it's because of your animal instinct that you spat in his face, but why does he hate you?" I pointed at the blood on my face then licked a small bit of it off and swallowed. She stared at me and said "That's different." I sighed and watched her believing that all of it was just an act to force me to let my guard down. I blinked as I caught a whiff of something and smiled to myself realizing the scent supressants must have worn off. I glanced a the girl and heard her think _ "What is that intoxicating smell, it can't be coming from him, can it?" _ I smiled slightly and held back a snicker that would have revealed some of my thoughts to her as she walked off a few steps and started talking to the guards about tossing me into one of the tanks. I sighed softly and had a feeling that I'd be here for days, maybe even weeks.

I blinked as I was picked up by a few bulls, an overly muscled boar, and a dragon then tossed into a jar that was full of a tar like liquid. I kicked my feet until my head reached the surface and tried to spit the tar out, but couldn't do so. I sank back to the bottom and slowly breathed the tar in and out like it was air. I'd noticed while I was on the surface that regular air wasn't passing into my lungs while the tar coated them. The vixen walked over to the tank and tapped on it. I glanced at her and she said "I know you can hear me so I'll try to make this brief, if anyone tries to remove you from this tank before twenty four hours is up, you'll suffocate to death. The ingredients in that tar will bring out who and what you really are, so I'll be back around this time tomorrow to check on you, ta ta." I growled at her as she walked away then closed my eyes and let myself float, deciding I may as well think since I had nothing better to do. As I floated the tar was slowly sending out microbes that flowed through my body and studied me, then found ways to make my body more efficient. I opened one eye and saw the computer across the room which was showing what was happening within my body with a percent meter next to it. I sighed softly and closed my eyes again then went inside myself looking for some place I could be alone.

Instead what I found was a figure wearing leather armor that was scratched up and broken in places sitting passively in a well furnished room. I looked around and he said "Welcome to the inner reaches of your mind, my young friend. It appears you somehow found your way here without my guidance. I'm impressed." I growled softly and muttered "Who the fuck are you to act like you know my own mind better than me." He smiled slightly then motioned for me to sit down and took a drink from a glass of wine that I'd have sworn wasn't there when I first came in. I sat down carefully and he said "I guess you could say I'm the one who's been teaching you since you accepted your feral, dark, and light sides. In all honesty I guess I'm your past, and future." I growled softly and said "Stop with the ancient teacher mumbo jumbo and just tell me what the fuck you're doing inside my head!" He smiled and saluted me with his wineglass then vanished.

I blinked and realized that I was looking across from me at the computer scree which read "95% COMPLETE." I blinked and let out a long breath wondering how I could have been out for almost twenty-four hours. After a few seconds, I realized that Dasher must have already given birth and the others were either back at the house, or looking for me. I silently sent out a warning thought for everyone to wait at the house then started for the top of the tank. It took about five minutes and in that time the computer screen had shifted all the way up to 98%. I sat about two or three inches down from the top until it reached 100% then swam out with my legs and coughed up what felt like my entire lungs, but was really just the coating of tar that had covered their interiors the entire time. I hopped out of the tank and was instantly surrounded by twenty guards holding what appeared to be tranquilizer guns. The vixen and her human friend walked in. She rubbed her nose and mummbled about funny smells while he ran a finger across his throat telling me I was dead. I smiled back baring my slightly bloodied fangs and mouthed the words 'You first.' The vixen seemed to notice our threats and said "Ok, since you can't play nice, Daven you're going back to your men and telling them to look for the escaped prisoner. I'll deal with this one." He nodded slightly, seeming to defer to her then motioned for two of the men to follow him and walked off.

I glanced at the vixen questioningly and she said "I'm his superior, but am by no means in charge here. I'm just the researcher who's been assigned to put you through your paces, and he's basically head of security." I blinked and filed away the thought that security was below research in this place. She glanced at one of the tanks and the men carried me over to it, then put a respirator on my face and tossed me in. It only covered my nose so I sighed and started breathing in the red goop they'd thrown me into. One thing I'd noticed during my last little dip was that my abilities seemed to be more controllable, and stronger toward the end. I glanced at her and she said "This one doesn't sustain the life of the people who breathe it in, so you need an external oxygen source." I nodded slowly in understanding and she continued "In twelve hours you'll be transfered to the next vat, then six hours after that to the last, and then your injections." I sgihed and leaned back against the tank wishing I had something to pass the time then let out a wolf whistle as the vixen walked away. At that point I realized that as my scent returned, my lust also returned and despite being my enemy she was very beautiful. I shook my head growling and forcing my lust down and letting my body adjust to the new fluid as the computer screen started countin down from 11 hours 45 minutes.

I sighed and sat back staring at the ceiling and wondering what was going to happen next. After about five minutes one of the guards walked up to the tank and looked into my eyes. I looked back and I heard his thoughts as clearly as if he'd spoken them aloud. He smiled darkly and I growled softly hearing _" It appears I may be able to kill this kid without any reprecrussions after all. The fox bitch is gone, and my commander is out looking for that escaped dragon." _ I growled deeper sensing his disgust for anthros and thought to lash out at the tank then glanced over his shoulder and saw the clock was only at 11:40. I growled softly and the ground around his feet started cracking and he glaned at me. I smiled slightly and a huge chasm opened under him then fire erupted from it as he started to fall barbecuing him. The ground closed sealing the body away and I nodded then closed my eyes and leaned back. After another ten minutes mister "you will pay" walked back in and looked at me. I raised an eyebrow and he smiled darkly then said "Another day, then we don't need you as you are. Maybe I can convince my 'partner' to allow me five minutes alone with you."

I smiled slightly and nodded thinking how much fun that would be for one of us then pointed at the computer's monitor. He glanced at it and said "Yeah, you'll be out of there in less than a day, so I'll be back when you're done. See ya then kid." He turned and walked away and I thouht about singing his ass with a fireball which made my tail twitch. I resisted the urge and tried to dislocate one of my shoulders. I also worked on dislocating my wrists. I had a feeling that it may come in handy when I tried to get free if I could pop a joint out of place on command. After about half an hour I finally got my shoulder to pop out of place and screamed in pain. I twisted my arms around in front of me and popped my shoulder back in place. I growled softly at the feeling then twisted my wrist until I heard a loud pop and glanced at the handcuffs to see they were lose. I smiled and popped my wrist back in place then glanced at the computer monitor. It read "7 hours."

I blinked and mummbled "Time flies when you're causing yourself pain." I tried to laugh at the irony of that but I only eneded up swallowing more of the green goo. I blinked because I'd just noticed a figure in a buisness suit was standing infront of the tank studying me. I glanced at him and he pulled out a card then handed it to me through the tank. I blinked and stared at him then thought "Oh yeah, I'm starting to halucinate from sleep deprivation." He smiled and said "I'm D. I'm here to give you a little bit of help. You can start by turning yourself over to this group, and letting them give you all the power you could dream of." I stared at him like he was nuts and he said "Or you could ignore them and end up watching all those you care about suffer." I growled ot let him know that if it was a threat I'd rip his tie wearing throat out. He smiled and said "I'll be back, this is just the first time we get to talk." Then vanished. I blinked and glanced at the computer which said that I was able to get out of the tank and jumped out, coughing the goo I'd swallowed up.

The vixen walked up and patted me on the back I coughed up what little goo was still in me then she had me walk over to the last tank and I climbed in deciding it wasn't yet time to fight. I closed my eyes and everything slipped away. When I opened them again I was being pulled out of the tub and was trying not to cough. The vixen raised an eyebrow when she saw I was awake and said "Well it appears you woke up." I nodded holding back a smile then kicked one of my guards in the face and puts my arms around her holding her close. She looked at me confused and before she could react I popped my wrists and slipped the handcuffs off then slipped them on her. I grinned slightly and said "I really need to thank Kloree for teaching me how to do that. Don't send a spy to go after a guy who knows how to convince people to work for him."

I glanced at the guards who rushed toward us then kicked out and knocked one flying back into the tube I'd just been in causing it to burst open and fall ontop of him. He screamed in pain as the glass shattered and I said simply "Thankyou Ayrean and Mac for all the training, wonder if what Steve showed me will come in handy." I pulled the vixen along with me until I got to the edge of the room and said simply "Tell me how to get out of here, and I'll let you go." She nodded and pointed to one of the tunnels then I started down it with her next to me. Halfway down the corridor I let her go and fell to all fours holdign my ribs as pain spread throughout my body from my chest. I let out a long howl as the wings I'd been hiding for months burst out of my back, my tail lengthened, and my ears became even more feral. I shook my head slowly growling softly and glanced at the vixen who stared at me seeming surprised. I smiled slightly and said simply "Dragon wings, a fox tail, and wolf ears. Is this enough or do you bastards want more from me? I can give you talons, I can give you more than my fangs, I can even give you a horn like a unicorn. Tell you're superiors that if they do anything to anyone I trust I will destroy them and all those they love." I turned to leave and she ran up then slipped her arms around me whispering something.

I turned and my ears heard "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." I glanced at her and said "It's not your fault you followed orders." I blinked as someone came rushing up to us, and pushed her against the wall then slipped out of her arms using my wings to hide her. The human Devan ran up and pulled out a large wicked looking scythe. I raised an eyebrow and he said "Tarturus, the scythe of the devil supposedly. I don't know for sure, but I know it's never been stopped by any material, not armor, stone, or steel." I smiled darkly and let out three whistles while thinking of my equipment. It flew through the hallways and landed on the ground at my feet. I picked up my sword which was glowing a welcoming gold. I glanced at his scythe and saw it was glowing with a sickly grey and black aura that emmanated malice. I rushed at him and the tip of his scythe connected with the blade of my sword, then the two auras merged, and I heard screams of pain.

Devan glanced around and I pushed my advantage. He blocked me and I noticed that the shaft of his scythe was made of the same black iron from the room I was in earlier. He growled and our blades locked again and I felt a jarring sensation in my arms. I glanced at my arms and saw that there was a crack in the middle of my blade. I blinked and mummbled "I can't beat him with this sword, it's not strong enough to stand up to a blade like that." I swung my blade at him one last time and it shattered, but even as it did so the shrapnel saved me and the girl by temporarily blinding Devan. I picked her up and flew out of the tunnels relying on my istincts to lead me back to the others. After about twenty different turns I burst out of the tunnel and found myself in the middle of my friends all armed to the teeth and ready to kill anyone or anything who got in their way. I smiled and said "I guess I was missed." I should have kept my mouth shut because everyone tackled me at once, and them combined with the weight of the then un named vixen nearly crushed me. I focused and my wings vanished then tried my best to take shallow breaths as I waited for the others to let me go.

It took about five minutes then they got off me and we headed to the house, where I was dogpiled yet again, this time by everyone who'd only heard something had happened to me at the school. When I was let up Dasher and Reinna nearly took my head off with their claws and fangs while yelling about nearly becoming single mothers. I just ran and kept my mouth shut like a good little puppy. After about ten minutes they calmed down, and I was allowed back in the house. I walked in and mummbled "Now I see why my father refuses to have any more children, women who've recently given birth are CRAZY!" The girls all turned dark looks my way and I smiled innocently then said "I'm going to take a much needed shower. I BEG ALL OF YOU TO STAY OUT OF THE BATHROOM!!!!!! I've had to many incidents in it for comfort, and I'd rather it a place of cleanliness than a place of sex." With that said, I walked into the bathroom and slowly slipped off my pants since my shirt was destroyed when my wings had burst through the skin of my back. I looked in the mirror and realized I'd kept my sunglasses on this entire time. I slowly took them off to see that I'd somehow gotten a scar that now went down my right eye, and that grey rings covered both eyes.

I shivered and mummbled "If this keeps up their won't be much human left in me." I turned around and looked at my back over my shoulder to see two scars exactly where my wings belonged. I shivered and mummbled "Everything was fine, I thought maybe it was all a dream, but there's all the proof I need." I turned on the shower and turned back around then pulled out my razor and started to slowly clear away three days worth of stubble. After my shave I studied my face and noticed that my eyes had also changed color. They were now amber like a feral's, with flecks of silver throughout them. I shivered and climbed into the shower then let the hot water flow over me and tried to relax. It took about five minutes, but finally my body and mind relaxed from everything that had happened recently. However I was so relaxed I didn't hear the sound of the bathroom door opening, or closing. I shook my head after a little while and grabbed the soap then started lathering up, I could still feel the goo on me so I knew this shower was going to take longer than most if not all of my other showers.

I glanced around when I heard the sound of footsteps outside the shower and shook my head figuring I'd locked the door. That was a mistake I'd been making a lot over the last few months, and it usually led to trouble, just like this time. I finished scrubbing myself and let the water rinse me off then blinked as I heard the sound of clothing hitting the ground. I started to turn around when I felt a pair of furry hands wrap around my waiste. I sighed and said "Ok, whoever it is, give me five minutes to dry off and let me get out." I heard a soft giggle that was definently not one of the usual girls and turned around slowly. It was the vixen from the underground compound. She covered my mouth and pushed me back against the wall then rubbed up against me and kissed me. I blinked startled and caught that smell I'd become oh so used to over the last few months. Which was that of a female in estrus. My eyes glowed brightly and I kissed her back then bent down and nipped her neck. A small part of me was still trying to figure out why she'd been sorry earlier, but the rest of me was being completely controlled by my lust. I pushed her up against the wall and started slowly nipping and kissing my way down from her lips to her breasts, while my tail rubbed between her legs.

She murred softly and I gently ran the fingers of one hand around her left breast in small circles while kissing my way down her stomach and between her thighs. I nipped the inside of her left thigh lightly then kissed her vaginal lips. After a few seconds deliberation I kissed my way back up to her lips while my tail gently rubbed over her outter lips, and the tip did small circles around her tail hole. She shivered and I kissed her again then pushed her up against the wall and let my hands slowly roam over her beauitful vulpine body. I stepped back as my tail kept rubbing between her legs and the tip slipped all around her tail hole. I smiled at her and let my eyes take in every glorious inch. She was strange in that her fur was black, blue, and white. Instead of the traditional colors. The primary coat was blue, the socks were white, and the part of her stomach that should have been white, was black. I smiled finding it very exotic then noticed that she had at least a size C bust, and a very nice ass. I moved up to her and kissed her letting our tounges duel in her mouth, then mine.

We pulled back and a thin strand of saliva connected us to each other. I licked it away then started to kiss down her body very slowly, while my tail's tip slipped into her tail hole and my hands stroked her sides. She growled softly in surprise then murred in pleasure as I started to slowly lap at her succulent treasure. She pushed my head forward as I furiously lapped at her labial lips, and gently nipped her clit. She growled and mewled over and over as she got closer and closer to orgasm. I smiled and thought "And Tam said I was no good at oral exams. Shows what he knows." I bit down on her inner thigh and that sent her over the edge. I smiled and licked up her juices as quickly as I could, then she pulled me up and forced me against the wall. The two of us kissed again then she smiled and licked down my chest to my sheath, and my member which was already half erect. I growled softly as my tail rubbed against her tail hole, and she gently started to lick the tip of my cock. I growled softly and blinked as she opened her muzzel and wrapped it around my shaft, then started to gently fondle my sack. I growled in warning and she just looked up at me innocently. I blinked and the only thing I could think was "Holy shit I didn't even ask her her name." I shook my head and that slight haze of lust flew in taking my moment of clearity away as she released my cock and gently suckled on the tip. I growled softly as my knot started to inflate.

She looked at it and her eyes got real big then she started to lap at my cock, and sack like it was water and she had been in the desert for days. I growled trying to hold back my load then she stopped and looked up at me with pleading eyes, which sent my already slightly oxygen deprived brain over the edge. I blew my load into her mouth all over her face, and onto her breasts. She smiled and stood up then I thrust her up against the wall facing away from me and thrust into her deciding the time for foreplay was over. She yelped in surprise then moaned as my tail slipped into her tail hole by about two inches and my hands gently started massaging her breasts. I bit down on the back of her neck hard to let her know who was in charge nad started thrusting at a slow yet steady pace. I noticed right away that she smelled like blood and my internal score keeper chalked another one up on the virgin panel. I growled softly and started thrusting faster as her tight passage starting pressing down on my member. My tail slowly slipped out of her tail hole, then back in, as my hands gently kneeded her breasts, and my tounge gently licked the blood I'd drawn off of her neck. After a little while she started to thrust back against me and I bit down again warning her not to move, then my hands gently ran up and down her sides. I smiled slightly feeling her body react and hearing her let out long moans of pleasure along with soft murrs.

I felt my knot start to inflate again and thrust into her as hard as I could tying the two of us together, then my tail slipped even farther into her and my teeth clamped down on her neck yet again. I let go and licked her neck clean as I thrust into her with short fast jabs that pushed me against her cervix. It appeared I'd grown down in that department as well as everything else. I smiled slightly then howled as my orgasm hit coating her interior walls with loads of my spunk. I sat down with her resting on my lap and she twisted around painfully twiting my knot. I smiled at her and she said "I'm Amber, and you are?" I blinked and burst out laughing, which caused her to start giggling with just how ridiculous her question had been. I smiled slightly when we both had calmed down and said "I'm Jake. The guy genetech has been trying to capture or kill, as you probably guessed." She nodded and I had a feeling there was a lot more to this little vixen than I'd already seen. However that was a problem for tomorrow. She leaned back into my chest and I turned off the shower then the two of us fell into a light sleep.
