Viola blushed upon realizing she had already asked this. She watched the ground feeling embarrassed for asking then when she looked over to him, she felt bad and got the feeling there was more she didn't know. She felt a little curious but kept quiet on the matter, not wanting to cause him pain. "...I'm sorry for that but you have a loving family now." She said gently with a small smile.
She looked at her feet while closing her eyes partially before speaking. "Does...does the name Lysin mean anything to you?" she paused to give Renn time to answer before continuing. "He was like my father after my parents were killed by Lord Dragon. Then I lost Master Lysin to Lord Dragon. Later...I met Silver, Tool and Leaf. I am still hoping to see him again one day or find something to tell me it is a foolish thought to imagine him alive."
Viola looked over to Renn as she came to a stop. "How long do-" she was cut off by the sound of an engine and Renn standing up and telling her to get behind him. She nodded and did as told, moving off the swing and stayed behind him. When she saw the truck her stomach twisted but confusion came when she saw the duo get out and the other driving off.
Fire looked to Tala after eyeing Jesse then nodded in return to the youth. She was confused and looked down before slowly looking up to Renn, feeling worried. She was about to speak but held her tongue and listened to him. She looked to the back of Jesse's head and nodded. "Seems possibly the type..." she muttered softly under her breath. "Who's the guy with her?"
She blinked when asked about 'getting it over with' then when he mentioned Dante she nodded. "We might as well while we're in private instead of in front of the others. I don't want to anger anyone by me being back inside." Fire moved and followed Renn to the place where Dante would be parking the truck. "I'll take your word for it about him being nice. I hope he doesn't mind me being here."
She took a breath and released it to calm herself down before meeting this leader of the group that saved her from Ritzu. I wonder what he knows of me? Maybe he knows about Lord Dragon? Did he see or get the same stuff Creed and Ritzu used to identify me? She still wasn't clear, or couldn't remember at the moment, why Creed had even taken a liking to her to even want to capture her, unless he was hired by Ritzu. Then that made her wonder how Ritzu learned about her as well.
When they would get to the area she looked around and her steps slowed. Fire took another calming breath before nearing closer, bracing herself to meet Dante face to face. Here goes nothing. Please don't let him hate me. She thought and neared, pushing back some hair from her face. She had no idea about the photos of her and the information Ritzu had on her that the group had found. She also had no idea about what Raven had asked of Dante yet was hopeful things wouldn't blow up in her or Renn's faces.
She would stay quiet and speak up when she could to introduce herself but her voice would crack during her lie. "I'm called Ice. It's nice to meet you Dante." She winced at her horrible lie and began to mentally kick herself. Nice going! Now you're in trouble. Viola looked around, scanning the area before scanning Dante carefully. I think I could take him. She thought as her body tensed a little in anticipation of an attack although she tried to stay relaxed so not to seem hostile.
If called out on her lie she would gulp and take a step back with her body further tensing and glaring at Dante. If she wasn't then she would keep trying to get her body to relax although it stayed tense and her fists kept trying to become clutched.

"That's true..." Renn nodded, bringing back the playful grin he often used as a mask to hide his emotions.
The name Lysin was not familiar to him, but he smiled reassuringly at her as he listened to her brief story, "I often wonder if people I knew are still alive, but if you have that Real Feeling, somewhere, like you just know they're still around, then maybe they are?" he tilted his head.
When asked, Renn would reply that the male's name was Tala, and that he was the new guy he'd been talking about before, "There's something...off about him," he couldn't quite put his finger on it, "I mean, the guy didn't even know how to work a television! I doubt he's even seen one before, y'know? Has he been living in a box his whole life?" The last part was to try and make a joke, but in all seriousness, Tala was just one big puzzle to him...and he didn't like people he couldn't understand.
As they approached the building, Renn would take Viola's hand once again, smiling at her reassuringly before leading the way to where Dante would have finished parking up the vehicle. It would be here he would give her hand a soft squeeze before letting go. "Dante?"
The male turned, wiping his hands off on a cloth as he made his way over - as part of protocol, he'd just spent a couple of minutes searching the vehicle for tracking devices. Content that there weren't any that he could find, he flipped the cloth onto his shoulder and regarded the two with a smile, "I trust you're feeling better now?" he tilted his head, analysing the pair before coming to the conclusion Renn had pulled a sicky in order to tend to the female he was now standing with,
"A little bit," Renn nodded, "I just wanted to introduce you to my friend here..."
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ice." Dante stretched out a hand to shake hers, reading her body and reactions silently as he did so. She felt tense, on guard...he lifted his eyes to her face, scanning it silently before drawing back, "Do you like cats?" As if on queue, the male's companion, a black cat appeared, rubbing against Viola's leg before advancing towards its master who picked it up, "His name is Salem."
"Or Lemmie, for short," Renn chimed in, seeing that Dante was attempting to subtly diffuse the tension,
"He loves a good scratch behind the ear," he moved a little closer, shortening the gap between them so Viola could take the cat without fear of dropping him - if she wanted to, "I've had him for years," he cast a final glance into her eyes before turning to Renn, "I hope you've already made up a room for her?" he raised an eyebrow, "If you're gonna be bringing people home, you need to ensure they have somewhere comfortable to sleep and be well fed." he lay an arm around Renn's shoulders and moved to lead him back towards base, allowing Viola the opportunity to follow behind them.
If she hesitated, Salem would give a wriggle and slip from her arms, running with his tail raised to catch up with his master as the gap grew between them. If she chose to follow, he would position himself comfortably in her arms and proceed to purr at her touch.
Dante would already be putting the pieces together, he hadn't viewed everything on the screen, nor had he read all the documents, but he'd seen enough to begin creating a picture of 'Ice' and her past.
If she decided to stay, he wouldn't make any moves towards Viola about her history, or her records, instead, he would remain aloof, allowing her to live amongst them without conflict.
He knew that eventually, when the right time came, he would have to take her aside and reveal what he knew about her and those who sought her out - he felt it was unfair to lead people on when it was clear they knew something was amiss, but for now, until he'd found out everything he could in order to confront her in a civil conversation, he would allow her to stay within the protective wing the group, giving Viola the opportunity to lay low or maybe even assist them if she felt fit.
Dante would wait by the entrance of the tunnel for Viola to catch up - if she had indeed chosen to follow, then he would smile and allow her to pass before walking quietly with her back to the main meeting room. If she had panicked and chosen to instead take her leave, he would wait a little longer, just incase she changed her mind, then he would head inside, leaving something for her to find that would let her know she was welcome to stay if she wanted to.

Viola did giggle at the joke with a nod and when offered a hand, she took Dante's hand and shook it. She would blink, taken aback by his random question until she felt something and looked down. She would nod gently while watching the feline. "Yes, I do. They are adorable but I couldn't have one back home."
She watched and would gently take Salem when handed to her and began to pet him behind the ears, a smile pulling onto her face. He's so soft and so gentle...oh! he's purring~ that's so cute! she thought as she stroked and petting the feline. At this point she was more focused on the cat than Dante and Renn.
She would look up once she noticed the cat's movement. Viola followed after the pair, not wanting to be left behind as she kept hold of Salem and kept petting him, finding this very relaxing and almost therapeutic. She would move in past Dante, nodding her head softly. "Thank you and also I've been staying in Renn's room. Oh um you don't think your other group members will mind me being here, will they? That one woman didn't seem very happy I was here."
She recalled the anger and almost jealousy that Anji displayed. "Logir was very nice though..." she muttered quietly as she continued inside the tunnel to head back with them. She looked to Dante. "I don't want to make um...I think her name was Anji mad or upset. I don't want her thinking I'm pushing her out or anything to disrupt your system you have going."
When they would get back she would slightly linger but stay between Renn and Dante, looking around cautiously before entering the area. She was cautious because she didn't want to get jumped by Anji. She glanced at Dante, looking him over. He is nice but...I feel like he's not as stupid as I was hoping...not after how he eyed me. Plus with the military vehicle, he must know something. She quietly shifted her eyes away to look at the floor. Maybe we can talk later. Renn and he I think will be not so quick to turn me over but Anji or Jesse...I bet they would.
If she was introduced to the group she would nod and greet them back politely. She would hang out with them and mostly listen with answering when addressed. She would do her best to try avoiding Anji's wrath, not wanting to show off her magic if that would be needed. She was making plans to try meeting with Dante later into the night to see if her guess was right and so he knows her past in case one of the Owls was catching on. Last thing she would want is them to get accused of harboring a murderer.
Viola looked to Renn. "Will I be staying in your room again tonight?" she asked softly to try and avoid Anji hearing her, not wanting to get on the woman's bad side anymore than she already had by just simply being there.

"Logir has always been a charm," Dante smiled, pleased that she had chosen to stay, rather than leave them. "You shouldn't feel a threat to anyone though, we're all equals here,"
Dante would enter the main area, immediately finding himself approached by Anji who seemed to break step when she spotted Viola and avert her eyes, knowing she was perhaps in the wrong for flying off the handle at a potential new ally...
"There's plenty of room for everyone down here, so Renn, seeing as you invited Ice here, you will be tasked with setting our new friend up with a new room. And not yours." he knew Renn had an air of laziness when he got the chance and locked eyes with the male who nodded quietly,
After brief introductions to all except Jesse and Tala who seemed to have dispersed to their respective rooms - and an apology from Anji who, once their leader had straightened things out, seemed to adopt her naturally inquisitive self, the group dispersed.
"TV's still free," Renn waggled the remote in Viola's direction before narrowing his eyes as the cat rolled over in the female's arms and began batting at the object as though it were a toy.
"For Ice, it is." Dante, who hadn't quite left yet smirked, watching as Renn's shoulders drooped slightly and he handed Viola the remote as Salem wriggled free of her arms and jumped up onto the back of the couch. "Feel free to help yourself to the food in the fridge, I'll need to head out on a supply run at some point, so leave your requests on the board," he motioned to a small chalk board that hung in the small cooking area across the room, "I've got a write up to do, so I'd better get going." he smiled once again before taking his leave.
Salem seemed to hang around Viola for the rest of that evening, shadowing her when he wasn't vying for her attention and a good scratch, the rest of the group would move about their own business, popping by occasionally to make sure Viola was alright - Anji even made an attempt at a peace offering by baking some fresh cookies and sharing them around,.
Eventually, a lot of the group would retire to their respective bedrooms, this would be when Jesse finally made her appearance - she had decided to show Tala around a little more, returning to the viewpoint just outside the citadel walls before leaving him at the door of his bedroom.
Once he was inside, Jesse made her way down towards the main gathering place, perhaps passing Viola along the way as she headed for the fridge for something to eat.
Should Viola go wandering at this point, Salem would once again stick by her side, drawing ahead of her slightly as they moved through the tunnels and then pausing outside the door of the computer room - here, he would glance back with a "Meow" before entering...
"Hello Trouble." Dante would pet the cat's head as it leapt up onto the table, saving and quitting the document he was working on before closing the lid of his laptop as the cat insisted on being his centre of attention. "Have you brought your new friend?" his eyes lifted towards the doorway and he would smile - almost as though he had known someone was standing there... "Come in, take a seat,"

Viola interacted with the others and was impressed and pleased by the change in Anji. It shocked her some at how friendly the woman could be. She looked to the remote and giggled as Salem played with the remote before gently taking it, laughing lightly again when Dante got after Renn about setting her up a room.
She looked to Dante when he mentioned the fridge and nodded. "Thank you, I'll be sure to remember to do that." She smiled and flipped through the TV stations, letting Salem go when he wanted free. She would nod to Dante and bid him goodnight whenever he goes to bed.
Later she would head to bed, enjoying the cookies she had and one she took with her for later. She had praised Anji on her cooking. It was better than Silver and Leaf's cooking.
When Viola had slept for roughly a couple hours or so, she would slowly wake up. She eyed the dark room quietly and laid still before getting out of bed and creeping out of the room. She made her way out and down the hall, stepping quietly to try avoiding waking anyone. She would peek into area's before noticing Salem and smiled, glad for the company as it was kinda creepy at night.
She began to follow Salem when he got in front of her. Carefully she approached the door and peeked inside through the crack. Is he still working? This late at night? she thought confusedly. Her eyes widened when she heard him mention 'new friend' and she bit her lip. Viola stayed put for a short bit before gently opening the door more so she could slip inside without opening it too much.
Viola looked down then to the screen before to Dante. She then looked around and spied a seat. She made her way over to a seat and took it, sitting quietly. She eyed the computer to see if she could figure out what he was doing then eyed the cat before turning her gaze to him once again. "So...how much do you know?" she softly asked. "I got the feeling outside that you figured out something was up with me so...how much do you know?"
She looked to Salem before speaking again. "And is that even a normal cat? It seems smarter than some cat's I've seen." She commented before sighing. "Also...who do you work for? No way a rebel group could so easily get a hold of military equipment or a vehicle no less. Who pulls your strings and did you report to them about me?"

"Actually not as much as you would have thought." Dante smirked, "Our latest mission was to uncover information about something else, we just happened to find some...other things along the way," Gently moving the cat from its place on the laptop, he reopened the lid and started spreading small documents in clickable links across the screen. "I wouldn't be surprised if you recognise some of these, but then again, it's only a theory that you have anything to do with them in the first place."
Salem gave a soft mew and clambered up onto the male's shoulders as he turned the laptop towards Viola so she could glance through the data and images infront of her. Once comfortably positioned, the cat's eyes locked with the screen, turning with Dante's to focus upon Fire as the male twisted round in his seat to face her,
"As of yet, nobody knows you're here," he tickled the cat beneath the chin as he spoke, deliberately bypassing the question regarding Salem being a normal cat, "And I'm quite content to leave it that way - for the time being at least." He'd been made aware of her quest for Lysin and the man named Creed, "But I will warn you, after drawing the attention of the Owls...and Ritzu, it's only a matter of time before one or both of them come searching...and I can't guarantee I'll be able to protect you..."
It was a sombre note, but with what he'd uncovered, he knew he had to put the gang's safety first... They were his family after all - and with Lord Raven overseeing their duties, it would only take a single act of withholding information to send the entire world crashing down upon them...
"In regards to your request for information, I am willing to loan you whatever means of searching you require to find those you seek..." he scanned her face as he spoke, hoping she was understanding that he wanted to help, but his hands were tied... "As I have said however, our resources are limited due to our close connection with one of the Owls...We can only provide so much without drawing undue attention towards ourselves." Again, he skipped around the question, stating only that he had a connection with an Owl, not specifically whom it was...

Fire was silent and watched as she listened. She looked at the screen once it was facing her and what was found on there. When her eyes spied a couple pictures of an old man she slowly stood and moved closer, her eyes glued to the screen and jaw fallen open. "Who took this?" she whispered softly, unable to take her eyes off the blurred image of motion. She recognized Lysin even in with his cloak covering him, she could tell those eyes anywhere. "Where is this?" she finally tore her eyes off the photo and set them on Dante. "This man is Master Lysin but I'm not familiar with the other citadels."
She then returned her gaze to the screen and looked at the other pictures and information while listening to him. She figured Renn told him about her wanting info on Creed and Lysin. She wouldn't get mad and understood when he explained what they could do would be limited. "...I'm looking for Creed because he is the one that captured me before Ritzu came there and caught me, probably by his orders." She growled softly in frustration. "Plus...he has something of mine and I want it back. He stole it from my bag and it's personal to me."
Unfortunately he's right. They were even looking up info on my parents. Dang it. She sighed softly. "I just want to know if Master Lysin is alright. I'm with Silver's group now and I can't betray him, Leaf, or Tool. I just want to make sure Lysin is alright and safe." She looked over what else was there. "I'm glad you're for now able to let me remain here and be under the radar but I don't want to put you all at risk either."
Viola thought over her next question before speaking up. "...Do you know what Creeds name is? Do you think you can figure out where he normally goes or where I might be able to find information on him?"
She went quiet again, looking at the information again, debating. She could tell him and maybe not stay around too long. She didn't want to put them at risk due to her being there with the Owls and Ritzu looking for her. She didn't even have her guns so her only means of defense was her magic which could tier her easily if she did it too much without her guns to focus it on.
When she finished looking and reading she stepped back and watched the glowing screen. Slowly she adjusted her shirt on one side, slipping her arm inside and moved the fabric so she could show some of the scars on her back. "...Lord Dragon did this to me when I made my move to kill him. I thought I had done it easily but he lived longer than expected. I tried to stab him but he lived and got me....so I released flames to get him off me and fled." She explained softly with her back to him.
"They have booking up information on my parents but they won't find me in their data banks. My father before they died did what he could to make sure I wouldn't have problems or well...it was either then or it was after I met Lysin that I was taken from the data banks....and given the nickname Fire due to my fire magic. I picked to go with Ice because I can also use ice magic as well." She would lower her shirt and put her arm back through the sleeve after giving time so if he wanted to touch the scars he could, wasn't required.
Viola looked to him with a serious expression. "I can use the help from your group to keep away from the Owls and Ritzu. Silver is busy maintaining Delta and I haven't gotten a response from Leaf or Tool so I'm sure they're safe due to Silver being in charge. I just want to know Lysin is safe and to also...I want to take out another Owl to give this land back to the way it once was, before the Owls and before the war that caused the events that tore this land apart."
"That's big talk coming from someone I had to keep from bleeding to death inside of a place as big as a manner or more in size."
Viola's eyes widened and she touched her ear piece after the static voice came through. "What the?! Silver?"
"You know it's hard to get through wherever you are? I had to boost this and track you. Not easy and harder to do without being picked up by any of the others so I'm risking myself as well as Leaf and Tools safety to calm them down. What the heck did you do this time to cause problems?" Silver asked through the occasional static.
"I wasn't doing nothing except getting parts that were out in the open, leaving a mocking gift for the idiot scientist...only um..." She trailed off looking embarrassed.
"Until you got too cocky and got captured by him then captured by a crazed woman and now you're who knows where." Silver sighed. "What are we going to do with you?"
"Silver, don't get in trouble, okay? I'm safe right now. I got rescued by a group in one of the other citadels and they're going to keep me safe for as long as they can. Don't worry."
Silver frowned. "Give their boss the ear piece. I would like to speak to their boss and learn what kind of group you're in. I said I would keep you safe and right now I can't do a thing for you."
Fire sighed and pulled her ear piece out and held it out to Dante. "Silver says he wants to talk to you. He's worried about me and want's to know from you what kind of group I'm currently with."
If Dante took the device to listen and speak to Silver, Silver would wait for a response and speak. "Give me your name and what kind of group you are. Where are you and how is Fire's health? Have any of you done anything to her or for her? Where is the crazed Ritzu and her whip? Does she know where Fire is?"
There would be a lot of questions with concern in his voice. "Can you make sure she doesn't do something stupid? Keep her away from Skylar. He's a good doctor but you need to know how to handle him and she doesn't have the temperament to handle him." He sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose. "I saw his place was burned and I can't find him which is a bother for me if I ever need him. I recognized her handy work, freaking hot tempered girl." He groaned.
If Dante refused it then Silver would be shouting profanity at the man for refusing to speak to him. Fire would then take the item back and tell Silver to calm down that she needed that eardrum.

"Data from the image puts it in Sistan," Dante clicked on the 'properties' section of the picture and it gave what would appear to be a street name and the Citadel name. Unfortunately, as it was just an image, anything more was unavailable without other stock images to link them with... "Also, I'm afraid Creed isn't a name I've heard," he shook his head, "But I'm sure if he has anything to do with Ritzu, then perhaps his name might pop up somewhere - and once we have a name, then doors begin to open," he was glad she seemed to understand that they could only do so much to help,
Dante lifted his eyes from the screen as Viola stepped back, he tilted his head when she began to turn, lifting her shirt, but listened quietly - resisting the urge to touch what looked quite painful when it was revealed.
"So you were the assailant?" he was surprised, but at the same time had to hold some respect for the one who had managed to get so close to an Owl - with ill intentions - and actually survive the outcome of their actions, "Your connections are admirable," to be in contact with the new Ruler of Delta is more than a useful advantage, "As I've said before, I can offer you a refuge, but only for the time being, but to choose to take out another Owl, I'm afraid that task would be up to..." he trailed off as Fire seemed to become distracted,
He would listen quietly when she spoke aloud, his eyes widening slightly as she named the voice on the other side, he would tense when Viola mentioned that the male wanted to talk to him, but took the earpiece without hesitation,
"Hello...?" Dante's eyes narrowed when after speaking first, he was then bombarded with an onslaught of questions, but he could hear the concern in the male's voice and allowed him to finish speaking before answering. "Okay. My name is Dante, I am Leader of a group based in Lord Raven's Citadel of Rydol, Your friend Fire was found by a comrade of mine who claims to have rescued her from Ritzu and brought her back to recover from her ordeal; I am confident to state that she is quite safe with us at present; she has a few nasty scars from what I presume to be past incidents, but she's otherwise healthy." He paused to take a breath, then ended with saying that as far as he knew, Ritzu was otherwise preoccupied and wouldn't have any chance to track her down for the time being...
"Truthfully, I have no idea who that is, but I will do my best to ensure the two don't cross paths," he cast a brief smile in Fire's direction, listening as Silver spoke of the fire that had razed Creed's residence to the ground, he could tell by the tone in the male's voice that Viola might just have made a few mistakes out of frustration in her past, but he was all about giving people the chance to prove themselves. "Is there anything else you would like to know?" There wasn't much more he could say, or promise - especially if things were going to get heated, but the least he could offer was piece of mind that for the time being, Silver's comrade was safe.

Silver sighed thinking. "If you have a spare gun, give it to her. I assume either Ritzu or Skylar kept hers and her dagger. I don't want her going out unarmed." He was hopeful they could do that. "Lord Raven seems to be the most reasonable out of all of them, aside from Lord Wolf." Silver went quiet again as he thought over anything to ask for a few moments before speaking again. "How long do you think you can safely house her before it could put your group at risk? Would there be a way to send her back here to Delta without suspicion?"
Fire looked towards the image and thought about Sistan, thinking about how to find Lysin. If he's there...the citadels are huge so I doubt I could find him but...maybe they could give me updates? No, I couldn't ask them to do that. It would put them in risk of losing their help from Lord Raven. She thought and looked towards Dante. I wonder what Raven is wanting with a rebel group though. That doesn't make sense or follow the normal actions of any Owls.
Silver would speak up once a thought occurred to him. "If you can, look in Ritzu's contact history. I have a bet they know each other or look into Skylar's and you should be able to get info on him to help locate him. But, if she's wanting to find him, make sure she doesn't get herself captured again. She can have a temper and it results in reckless behavior." There was a pause before more speaking. "If or when she goes on her own, contact me so I know. I worry about her and I'll let the other two know she's safe for now at least."
~*~*~*~
Inside, Ritzu had been pondering over what to do before sighing and spinning in her chair. She came to a stop and stood, moving to her computer and sat, going into the system to check for any prisoners in any of the other citadels since there wasn't a good selection in Raven's prison. She scrolled through and sighed. "How come there's no good prisoners anymore?" she groaned softly as she scrolled through the data.
She paused on one entry that was recent. "Hmm...Ngozi huh?" She looked at his mug shot and eyed what she could see. "Hmm....he might work. Nice strong build, good height...I bet she'd be willing to part with him." She looked towards her door to the back room. But I'll need to do the deed there at Lady Tigresses prison so not to upset or traumatize Rosalie anymore than she already has been. She looked more through the system and found one person in Lady Snake's citadel that was labeled under the name of Grandor.
That takes care of two out of the four but who else for the last two? she scrolled through the system more before coming to a stop and leaned back, rubbing her face and eyes. "Ugh I need two more or I'll need to give her up and I don't want to." She groaned into her hands softly. She then looked over towards her desk where she had still samples of Rosalie's blood then looked over and pressed a few buttons to bring up the file on Fire. "Hmm....maybe some of that DNA I could use and try speeding up a couple copies. I could have them turn to ash if done right I think. And it would give the hunters a challenge." She muttered.
While considering this she decided to get permission and set a date for her to come and see the two selected prisoners so she could do the change closer to the date of the Festival of the Hunt. She made her way to the phone and dialed then waited for Lady Tigress or someone to pick up so she could see when she could come there.
If someone picked up she would say "Hello, this is Ritzu with Lord Raven's citadel, I would like to know when it would be good for me to come by and see the prisoner Ngozi. I have use of him by Lord Raven's orders for Lord Wolf." If told a day she would nod. "That sounds good. I just need to see him in private when it nears the time of the Festival. Thank you, goodbye." She would hang up.
If no one answered she would say in her message "Hello this is Ritzu with Lord Raven's citadel and I would like to know when I can meet with the prisoner Ngozi. I have use of him when it nears closer to the Festival by order of Lord Raven for Lord Wolf. Please call me back on this number and let me know when I can come. Thank you, goodbye." And she would hang up then wait for a call back.

"Lord Raven generally leaves us to ourselves, unless he has a mission, then he usually contacts me first for an audience away from the territory." Dante replied honestly, noting that although they preferred to keep handguns to a minimum due to the sound travelling a great distance should one misfire unexpectedly, he reassured Silver than she would be armed with something to protect herself should the need arise. "As for an estimate in regards to housing her without drawing much attention or getting the group in trouble, I would say she's relatively safe with us, provided she knows that lying low and keeping out of trouble is key..." his eyes flicked briefly up to the female in question, then they drifted to the screen as Fire regarded an image in particular, "I'm sure you're aware of a particular festival coming up soon..." he figured it was only wise to broach the subject as his gaze had just happened across a flyer that Jesse had posted to the wall a few days beforehand, "Now I know that our tunnels expand to just outside the citadel walls, but to return her to Delta would require a lot of movement which may attract unwanted attention..." Any vehicles spotted approaching from the wastelands were often swiftly reported to those higher up the chain and then met by guards before they even found the tunnels... "I propose perhaps performing a trade of interests upon the day, maybe during the opening ceremony when everyone is distracted by the festivities?" He wasn't exactly requesting payment for accommodating the female, but had grown so accustomed to making 'trades' for supplies that it was just second nature to attempt to make a deal with the male, "There are usually a good handful of individuals making bets on the winner, so a simple swapping of assets would merely be seen as such should the guards happen to look our way..."He proceeded to listen in regards to Ritzu's contacts, certain Estel might just be able to find something, then he nodded "If anything happens before the day, You will be the first to know...Provided you don't mind leaving me a means of contacting you?" calmly, he turned the laptop screen back towards him, drawing up a window before preparing to take down a number should Silver decide that was the easiest means of contacting him. ~*~*~ "Her Highness is resting, call back later." The reply was blunt when the phone was answered, but as Ritzu mentioned she was acting upon the orders of Lord Raven himself, the bored, female voice suddenly grew a little more attentive...perhaps fearful of the wrath of the Owls? "Ngozi you say?" The sounds of paper shuffling in the background would be heard, then a hushed muttering as though the female was searching frantically for records of such a name, "The Man Mountain they reprimanded a while back? What do they want him for? ...I can organise a meeting within the day if that helps?" she proceeded to type something into a computer infront of her, "We have specially designed cells for private meetings, I'll have him moved to one of those immediately." The closing thank you and goodbye from the female were met with a disgruntled growl once the line had gone dead and the receptionist would then place the phone down with a sigh and finalise the request. Down in the cells, the Behemoth sat in chains, a shackle around his neck gave him only enough room to lie down, whilst manacles kept his wrists close to the ground. His movement was limited, but that didn't stop him as he sat, with a rat in the palm of his hand, feeding the tiny creature a crumb left over from the stale bread he'd been given that morning. The sound of the reinforced gates swinging open drew the man's attention from his 'pet' and he set it down, watching as it scampered away before lifting his gaze as two burly guards approached the gate of his cell. "Don't move you Brute." the first guard snarled, holding out a blade as his comrade advanced, watching as he unlocked the chain from the wall before advancing to draw the second chain from the ground. "You're being relocated." The men said nothing more as they gave the chains a tug and led the man from his cell. Ngozi's stay had been far from comfortable, but he had learnt to keep his rage subdued throughout, there was no point in lashing out in such tight quarters; through height and size alone he struggled to even extend an arm in the slim corridors they now lead him down... The walk would be brief - it was only towards another cell - but this one would be far different from the one he'd spent his lengthy incarceration in... It was lighter, resembling a simple meeting room, with a chair and a table in the centre; it was only as the eyes drifted behind the initial sight that one would notice a cell set into the back wall, they lead him forward, a third man joining their ranks as the Behemoth's gaze fell upon shackles set into the walls themselves... He knew it would be fruitless to struggle, but a brief show of strength just to remind the men who they were dealing with didn't hurt. The man who had joined them suddenly found himself thrown backwards out of the cell, he scrambled for the door, alerting a handful of nearby guards who leapt into action, flooding into the cell as Ngozi floored the second man before being pushed up against the wall. A swarm of hands freed his wrists from the manacles before drawing them apart and sealing them tightly in the shackles. An attempt to restrain his ankles sent another man across the cell whilst a raised knee caught yet another man off guard before eventually, the Behemoth was subdued... Now, his back flat against the wall, Ngozi watched as the men gathered the injured and retreated to the door, he felt a sort of accomplishment at bringing down a few guards along the way, but it had all ended in the same result... His movement was even more restricted now, he exhaled a sigh and returned to the calm state he'd held before the guards had first arrived... He knew it was only a matter of time before things changed, but how they would change was for the future to decide and so he took the time to meditate upon his current situation and wait.

Silver was quiet, listening and weighed the chances. It could work as he could go and attend, placing a bet with Dante on the day of the festival for who would win the hunt would give him a way to see Fire. It would also be a good way for her to get away and come home due to the amount of people that would be there. It would serve as good cover for that. "...What's your asking price I give to you as a bet? Where will we meet up?"
Silver listened then gave him his mobile number so he could be reached directly. "You better."
Fire blinked as she just realized what Dante said about her and trouble. "Hey now! I'm very good at staying under the radar." She huffed.
Silver heard this and rolled his eyes. "Yes, that's how she kept from being caught by Skylar and passed off to Ritzu." He commented sarcastically since it was her cockiness and showing off that got her caught in the first place.
~*~*~*~
Ritzu managed to get some blood of Rosalie's and to get some DNA from her samples she had matching Fire, racing and getting them put into a serum looking thing inside two separate vile's. She was racing to get to Lady Tigress's citadel on time. She had a meeting now set to meet with the other prisoner the next day so she wanted to waste no time. She hated the rushing but had no choice on such short notice. I hope this works. She thought while stepping over and checked on Rosalie.
She was pleased to see her sleeping. She gave her an extra dose and set an extra by her in case she began having problems while she was gone. "Mmm master?" Rosalie groaned sleepily while rising her groggy head and rubbed one eye. "What's going on?"
"Nothing, Lord Raven is sending me on another mission so I gave you a booster just to be safe and set a spare by you in case you start to lose control while I'm gone." She whispered softly.
"Oh, okay." Rosalie yawned wide. "Have a safe trip master. If you see a boy named Tala...tell him I said hi..." she said as she drifted off into sleep once more.
Ritzu nodded and slowly stood, stepping back. "I will, goodnight and be safe yourself." She whispered as she stepped back and left the room. She softly closed the door, locking it and made her way to her table. She quickly packed up a bag with what she needed which included her needles, mixture of what she had as well as other vile's she hoped to fine tune the transformation concoction. Looking around after finishing up her packing she sighed. Should be everything. Now...for a quick stop to try speeding up the growth of two copies.
She made her way out, turning off the light and went to her vehicle and headed out. She took off towards an expansion she had done up when she felt she wanted it. It didn't go far because when she had tried creating it didn't work so she was hoping this time, as well as due to her having more years under her belt, it will succeed or at least for long enough for the hunt.
It would take her about 15 minutes to get there and she wasted no time getting things set up and going. She would leave about 20 minutes later and be heading out to Lady Tigress's citadel to meet with Ngozi, hoping this will all work. She even had tranquilizers as well just in case.
Later when she arrived she'd wait to be allowed in, make her way inside and followed a couple guards to where Ngozi had been moved to. She entered the room and waved them back before looking him over. "You are just as fine as your photo in the system." She said before adjusting her glasses and reached into her bag, mixing up some liquids into a syringe.
If she was questioned to what she planned she would look at the one who spoke. "Going to preform a test by order of Lord Raven for Lord Wolf." She would shake it and flick it, checking and looked to Ngozi. "And this is going to make you a little.....wild." She moved towards the doors and motioned for them to be opened.
If they were opened then she would enter and do her thing, injecting him and back up with a tranquilizer ready. If they didn't and refused wanting more information she would sigh. "Let us just say this is something Lord Dragon has done during his life to at least one prisoner who was wrongly convicted." Then would try to get to Ngozi to try injecting him. She would try staying on her toes but even if she could, the mixture had been slightly off, giving a strength and speed boost which would be something she never planned on. This was her real first time trying to reverse engineer the mix she reversed off Rosalie for the most part.
If things back fired she would try and fight back with her tranquilizing dart but depending on what was going on would determine if it hit or missed. If she was on the move dodging Ngozi then she'd end up missing but if not then she'd hit him. If she missed she would try and get free, not sure what the newly changed man would do to her.

"I'd say a few grand or so..." Dante said this as casually as before, "I should think with access to the late Dragon's coffers, you could certainly help us with a much needed upgrade to our security," The devices he had in mind didn't come cheap, but regardless of what payment they received, it was certain to make a good down payment. He took the number down, then entered it into his own phone as backup before listening once again as Silver's sarcastic remark enlightened him a little further into Fire's personality... "Well, I would like to think that in that case, she's perhaps learnt her lesson?" his gaze flicked across to Viola, "I've got your number and will contact you to arrange a location to meet on the day." with little more to say, he would draw his side of the conversation to a close before passing the earpiece back to Fire - just incase she wished to say anything else to the male before they signed off. ~*~*~ The Behemoth wouldn't react when Ritzu was lead into his cell, his amber eyes were however, narrowed. He watched her silently as she advanced, mentioning about his photograph in the system before clenching his fist slightly... The guard did indeed ask what she was up to, but knew best to keep his distance - or risk becoming the test subject himself - he'd been warned about the scientist by the man he replaced on guard duty and he eyed her warily as he passed her by on his way to unlock the cell door. "How do you sleep?" Ngozi growled, knowing he wouldn't be able to strike her away, "Turning Men into Monsters." He would wince at the sting, locking eyes with her as she drew back in a moment of silence before letting out a pained snarl as the mixture started to flood around his system... There would be no physical changes - at least not immediately - the man would yell as the stinging turned to burning and had he not already been restrained, he would have doubled over in pain, but with his back against the wall, this was not possible... Instead he writhed within his shackles, tugging against his restraints before letting out a roar... His once gentle, amber eyes would change, glowing slightly before adopting a reddish hue... Another roar and he began to tug violently against the manacles, the wall now began to crack where the metal rings held him in place and as he gave a final pull, he would tear himself free. The guards, thinking quickly would lean in, gripping Ritzu by the arms and dragging her backwards as the Man-Mountain toppled forward before smashing the chains that held his ankles... Hastily, they would slam the door and lock it, but somehow they knew it wouldn't hold... "I don't know what you did, but we need to get you out of here and lock down the prison." They had always been trained to deal with the worst, but knowing what Ngozi was capable of without the serum, they feared what he would become now he was empowered... If Ritzu chose to retreat, they would leave Ngozi to fight his way out of the cell, putting the best of soldiers at the door ready to take him down when he broke out, If instead, Ritzu dismissed them, choosing to fight back with the tranquilizer, the dart would hit home as the Behemoth began to bend the bars in an attempt to break free of his cell, it would perhaps take more than just the one shot to bring him down, but eventually he would fall when the moment looked almost suicidal... "Not...a...Monsster." he would land flat on his front, rolling onto his side as the darts began to take effect, the reddish hue leaving his eyes as he would become subdued...

"Alright, I can do that and I look forwards to hearing back later from you for our meeting place." Silver took note of how much to bring with him. When he heard the piece handed over he was quiet then spoke. "Fire?"
"Yes?" she asked.
"Control that temper and ego with feeling like you are untouchable. You aren't and I don't want you getting caught again or getting any of them caught or injured." He warned strongly.
"I won't, okay?" she rolled her eyes. "I'll keep control of my magic and my temper."
"Promise me you won't burn or freeze anyone, right now."
Viola sighed heavily. "I promise not to burn or freeze anyone with my magic." She said flatly with a small groan.
"Please? They are being nice enough to house you and protect you so don't mess it up before the festival."
"I won't. Now I'll see you later." She made a buzz noise. "Oh you're breaking up. Bye~" she turned off the ear piece and looked to Dante confused if he was looking at her with the act she did to escape Silver's warnings and firm tone. "What?" She sighed folding her arms. "I'm not being rude or anything. I just got tired of his constantly reminding me to be nice and to keep my temper in check as well as my rushing into a fight without thinking."
She moved and sat down. "So what's this festival thing?" she asked and as she would listen she was interested but her hands went to her mouth where she breathed out warm air. This formed into a small fireball that she began to handle, tossing it back and forth while listening attentively. She would squeeze and disperse the fireball and breath cooler air into her hands and start to mess with a ball of ice now.
Maybe it was due to Silver getting after her or it was because Dante knew now who she was so felt it wasn't bad to gently use some of her magic. "I heard mention of firearms, right? Only reason Silver would have asked about that is because I can easily channel my magic through a firearm if I don't want to breath it out like normal. It's harder for me to channel it through my hands or feet. Plus it's more exhausting on me to do it aside from breathing it out for me to use one or the other while in combat." She explained calmly. "And why do you need that kinda money? Don't you get paid by the Owl's?"
~*~*~*~
Ritzu looked to him frowning. "Perhaps I don't and this wasn't what I intended to test. Yet, thanks to Lord Dragon before his death, I'm under orders by Lord Raven for Lord Wolf." She sighed, "...I don't have a choice if I want to actually keep someone safe..."
After giving she watched and felt her stomach churn. She held down vomit that wanted to come up from how disgusted she felt towards herself for putting a living creature through this. This isn't what I expected to see in my time after I signed up. she thought then gasped, moving back when pulled but would pull away from the guard.
She aimed and fired, keeping back as she watched the injection from the dart start to take effect as he eventually collapsed. She had a sympathetic and apologetic look in her eyes as she watched him. 'I know' she mouthed before looking to one of the guards. "Bring him to my truck. I want him loaded in the back as I'll be taking him with me."
If she was questioned as to why she was taking him she would sigh. "Because he's mine now. Speak to Lady Tigress if you don't believe me to have her speak to Lord Raven." She would instruct before sighing and moving towards the cell door. "Open the door and I'll drag him out myself if none of you weakling men are going to do this for me." She would wait and if none helped she would move over, take the keys and open the door herself before putting Ngozi's upper body on her back.
If the door was opened she would let the guards get him and lead the way to her truck or she would again grab him and begin out on her own with him. "I have a place where I can monitor and continue with my orders without you or others being put into risk." She would glance back at the behemoth as she pushed her glasses up to hide her eyes with a glare on the lenses. She hated doing this but didn't want Lord Raven using Rosalie in the festival.
If they followed with him then she would lead the way to her truck. She would unlock the back and open it, moving inside and opened a reinforced cage that was like Rosalie's with shackles attached to the floor of the cage. She would let them put him inside and cuff him or if she had brought him then she would put him inside and cuff him.
Once he would be inside and secured she would close, lock and step out then lock the door once any guards were out of her truck. "Now then, I'll be on my way. Thank you so much." She said sweetly which was kind of creepy coming from her and she got into her vehicle. Starting it up she got around and drove off, leaving and heading off towards where she was growing the copies.
She glanced towards the back in the silent cab, her heart hurt for him but she had to shake it off. She couldn't let this fail because if it did, she knew who would be going out there to be hunted for sport. "...I'm sorry..." she said softly, not sure if he would hear her or not in there as she drove across the barren land that was still trying to recover.
It would be later when she would return and she would pull in and park at the other lab. She went around back and paused, unlocking it and went inside with caution, another dart at the ready to sedate him and make him easier to handle. She would approach carefully and looked the cage over. If he was down she would give him another dose just in case and then start to undo the cage and shackles before pulling him out to put him in a new cage.
If he was up then she would still be cautious and watch him and use a gun to fire the dart at a distance at him to avoid from being grabbed or injured. "I'm sorry about this but I don't have much of an option." She would explain and not near until she was sure it was safe and move him out of there and into her lab area to a cage that was strong. She would secure him to the floor by his wrists. Like with Rosalie's cage he had length to move about and the end on the cage floor was riveted so it would hold onto the ground as well.
She would ensure he was shackled whereas with Rosalie she left those off her for the most part if it was a good day or good week. She would go over to the two tall test tube looking things made of shatter proof glass and she looked at the small growing creations. "I hate rushing..." she muttered with irritation before moving to a desk and taking note of how Ngozi responded and would try an altered type for Grandor.
"This is when Skylar would be useful. I bet that nutcase could reverse reverse my curing work." She complained while looking over her previous notes and deciding how to change the mix before her meeting with Grandor at Lady Snake's citadel.

"I know of somebody else that uses that 'breaking up' thing to get out of conversations..." Dante mused, "Whatever he said, he probably only reminds you because its his way of showing he cares..." he smiled, then changed the subject when asked about the Festival. "The Festival of the Hunt is held annually in Lord Wolf's Citadel of Omega," he watched as she started creating orbs of both fire, and then ice in her hands, "Hunters from all over Aphelia gather to take part in the festivities in the hopes of being named Top Hunter at the end..." he wasn't sure if it was wise to draw her attention in, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to enlighten her to what went on, "The Hunt takes part in three stages, sometimes four depending on how many creatures they can wrangle from the wilderness, the first stage usually consists of smaller creatures which are released upon the first gong, these consist of low level monsters, giant rats, goblin-types, those kinda things you could take down easily; The second stage is where it gets more interesting..." At this point, he would call up a page on the laptop, turning the screen once again so Fire could see, "The second stage, we begin to see higher level creatures, once the easily defeated monsters are eliminated, the sound of a second Gong releases the next wave. Naturally, this is where we start to lose hunters, but it's mainly those who are new to the game and are unprepared... Anyone can still pull out at this point, but most choose to go down fighting." He found a video of a past hunt where larger creatures such as Dire Wolves and Bear could be seen charging around the citadel, taking down anything in their sight - of course, it wasn't a vision for the softhearted as the creatures were swiftly dispatched by higher level hunters. "By the Third Gong, most of the weaker hunters are gone and it's up to the remaining hunters to fight for their points," another clip showed the release of stronger, more high-powered creatures, often by this point, they were hybrids or mutations that scored the Hunters more points when eliminated, "Naturally, these are top-level beasties and they're not so easily defeated, this is where even the most experienced of hunters can fall, or even lose their lives..." he narrowed his eyes at this point, clearly not so much of a fan of the event - sure it was a good means of making money, but all the creatures that had been slaughtered by this point were often dragged from the wilderness and riled up in order to put on a good show... "If there is more than one survivor by this point...then we reach the fourth round." he found another clip and set it to play, the sound of a gong resounded loudly at the start of this clip and Dante was forced to turn the volume down... "They rarely hold a fourth round, but this is when the biggest of all boss monsters is released...Think of it as the Mega Boss at the end of a computer game. Regardless of points scored so far, if a Hunter takes down this bad boy, then they score big. Sometimes it's enough to push them ahead of the rest, but sometimes, if they draw level with another, they have to duel it out...one on one." He wasn't presently aware, that perhaps plans to unleash more than just one Boss Beast had been planned for this year's hunt, but that didn't change his views. "The Winner is instated as Top Hunter and the rewards are often Grand. Anything from immunity, to being granted a residence in the grounds of the Palace itself, Mountains of Gold are another reward, items of your heart's desire and possibly even a granted request from the Owls themselves, although the rewards vary from year to year..."He listened when she mentioned about being able to work better with firearms due to her abilities and promised he would try to ensure she had something along those lines, when it came to payment from the Owls however, his smile waned slightly, "Our agreement with Lord Raven is simple...complete his missions to a satisfactory level, then we're rewarded...if we fail, well, he doesn't let us starve, but we don't exactly benefit from all the hard work we put in..." The Owl seemed much more reasonable than the others, so Dante couldn't exactly speak ill of him, but there was some truth to his words... ~*~*~ The soldiers were understandably nervous, but did as they were instructed and clearly struggled to move the Behemoth from where he'd fallen to the ground; they would then follow the scientist outside to her truck, feeling somewhat reassured that they weren't just releasing a Monster onto the Citadel when they saw the reinforced cage in the back. Ensuring that Ngozi was secure, the soldiers took their leave swiftly, eager to disappear before there was any hint of an offer that they might just wish to donate their bodies to science... Clearly word and rumour had passed throughout the barracks that Ritzu liked to experiment on soldiers that failed to do their jobs properly or stepped out of line... It was most likely a horror story told around the campfire, but nobody ever wanted to find out the truth - just in case. Ngozi would stir towards the end of the journey, aware of the scents that filled the air as the truck traversed the wilds, he had thoughts of home and the strange youth he'd met that time before...but his memories were becoming fuzzy...the serum clearly had a hold on his subconscious and although it was temporary, it wasn't going to release its grip so soon... His tired, amber eyes lifted drowsily as Ritzu opened the doors, he didn't move, but did frown as he spotted the dart gun prepped and ready to fire... Would this be his existence from now on...? Maybe he should have left the Boy to the soldiers...? Ngozi would hear her words about having no choice as the light faded and he blacked out again, but his recollection of the events following that would become obscure... ~*~*~ Skylar Creed had been less than impressed to return to his hideout and find almost everything charred beyond recognition...but that was why he'd taken everything he needed and left... It had just been a few knickknacks that had drawn him back...just a hope that perhaps they were still there...in one piece...? Realising there was nothing left of use, he'd taken a stroll into town and now sat observing a young female as she played the violin for passers by... "Such a beautiful melody..." he mused, sipping his coffee before dipping his hand beneath the collar of his shirt. His fingers wrapped lightly around the small necklace he'd claimed from Fire's belongings and he lifted it out to inspect before slipping it back into place. "I wonder how she's getting on?" he had hoped the female had evaded capture, but also knew that Ritzu could be pretty determined when she set her mind on something... His thoughts drifted back to Fire and if she would ever find him? Sure, he'd still planned to return the female's items...eventually, but for the time being, he was 'keeping them safe' Breathing a sigh, he leant his elbows upon the table and rested his chin in his hands, listening to the violinist before letting out a grunt as a piece of coloured paper his him square in the side of the head... "Ooh...?" His eyes scanned the title, "Is that still being held?" He lifted his eyes skyward as he recalled the bloodshed and body count that had once been a great asset to his work, "I wonder if they would still allow me to salvage some assets for my research..." Having found himself a new hideout in Delta and with a down payment already in the works for a hall in Omega, he was well on his way to rebuilding his laboratory and returning to his work as a researcher. Folding the flyer neatly, he pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose and readjusted his scarf before leaving his table and crossing the road. From here, he would approach the female, dropping a handful of spare change into her violin case before making his way towards the station. He was already formulating a plan, preparing the move to Omega would be simple, acquiring the remaining payment for the hall would be more of a challenge, but it wasn't unobtainable...with a little help. Now, he just had to get ready, make preparations and perhaps upgrade that freezer...just in case he needed to store anything away. He chuckled to himself as he drew his phone from his pocket, then he paused... "That's right..." he recalled how Cyrus had refused him access to the boy, how he'd verbally thrown him from his land and told him never to return...at least that was how he remembered it... "...Maybe I won't call him." he scanned the numbers he had in his address book, sliding past Cyrus's name once more before returning his phone to his pocket. He would deal with his new place of work first, then...perhaps he would prepared for the Hunt... The boy wasn't entirely from his mind, but once again, he would have to make do with what he could find...

Viola listened then looked up when hearing typing and clicking. She got rid of the ice and watched. Her eyes widened when seeing the video and her skin paled. She hadn't seen anything like it before and it turned her stomach. As he explained more and showed another video, she nearly felt ready to lose her dinner. She had no comment she was so shocked by what she was seeing.
When he would reach the last video she would gasp and turned away quickly, closing her eyes and could taste the vomit in her mouth but she kept it inside. She would look over once she recovered and didn't hear the video anymore. "That's.....that's barbaric! No, it's worse!" she exclaimed looking pale. "How the hell do they see this as good?!" she questioned quickly. "I know the Owl's are horrible but...but that!?"
She took a breath and tried to calm down while she listened to his other answer. She slowly nodded. "I see....well at least he doesn't let you starve to death but he should still reward you for doing some work even if it's not a success." Viola began to wonder why they would keep working for a guy who didn't even reward them half way for not succeeding. "Have you ever thought of him being dethroned and someone else taking over?"
~*~*~*~
Ritzu went about her business, checking on the copies growth and heading out early after calling Lady Snake to get the other prisoner. She left quickly and didn't notice one of the clones gaining a pulse, a steady heartbeat after just a couple days.
The clone stayed still as its heart continued to beat steady in the once quiet room, giving it sound. Ritzu had tried different mixes on Ngozi and all were temporary and didn't seem to reactivate. She didn't know what she was missing but hadn't wanted to kill him by testing further so she thought he could do some tests on the one she was after now.
The clone of Fire stayed still for nearly an hour before slowly opening her duel toned eyes. She slowly began to move her head and looked around gradually, looking as if she were a wide eyed child new to the world. As she had been grown with the serum put into her she had a beasts tail and some fur around her chest and shoulders. When the clone of Fire laid her eyes on Ngozi she looked to her containment and looked to her arms that were folded close to her chest in her balled up position.
It took her a few moments before she began to slowly move her arms out from her naked form. She looked to the glass and placed her hands on its cold surface. She pushed but had no success, bubbles coming out of her mouth in the breathable water. She frowned and pushed again without success. She kept trying this over and over without anything happening.
This was until eventually she grew frustrated and curled her fingers some so her nails were against the glass. She closed her eyes tightly and twisted her face in her emotions. First nothing happened but eventually ice crystals began to form that glowed red like lava. The system monitoring her went wild as she was doing this and causing the glass to start steaming. The clone of Rosalie stayed dormant in her curled up position.
The glass would shatter and she would fall with a short yelp of surprise. She grunted when striking a wall and shook her head to clear it. She would turn her gaze to look around in wide awe at seeing it outside of her glass housing. The system was going nuts with small alarms ringing. Fire's clone with her two toned hair made her attempt at standing, her legs shaky and she took a few tries before managing to stay up.
Looking to Ngozi's cage she took one slow step then another and made her way over to him, wanting to see who he was and what he was since this so new to her with opened eyes.
When she would make her way over she would fall down beside his cage and stare at him confused. Looking to a hand she lifted one and reached into the bars, reaching out and touching his face gently. She slightly jumped feeling the temperature of his skin but reached and touched again, sort of petting him to try seeing what he would do.
If he spoke to her she would listen silently and if he spoke more she'd tilt her head but open her mouth and slowly move it, trying to speak then eventually get out a soft word. "H-hi." Carefully she moved closer and watched him with worry and started stroking him again. "Do...you hurt?" she managed to get out as her mind was racing and picking up things the original her already knew such as speaking and things.
If he spoke she would listen while eyeing his chains and slowly move a hand to one around his neck. She would grip the chain and try doing as she had done to the glass. Her face scrunched up as she glared at the hand. Slowly after some moments there was was finally a small light and the lava ice began to spread on the metal and would shatter it. She would then reach for one of the chains attached to his wrists, wanting to help him out of his cage.
If he stopped her she wouldn't fight back but look at him confused. "Why stop?" she would question curiously. "I...I want you out here....with me." She would explain not sure why he would stop her. "I...I want to see more. I want to see more than here." She would manage to get out with a hopefulness to her voice, not aware her being naked wasn't the most appropriate thing.
Now if he took her at her request and let her free him, she would go with him willingly and hold onto him, becoming glued to his side like a little sister. If this happened then by the time Ritzu returned she would rush to make another clone then another to have four creations, hoping they would be done in time. She would also send a text to Skylar at the last number she had for him and hoped it was right, yelling t him to keep an eye out for a beast girl and a large behemoth of a man, explaining the girl is a clone of the woman he caught for her mixed with the beast serum that Lord Dragon used on a woman to turn her into a wild animal.
She would continue her hasty work to try and bring about four beasts for the hunt.
By the end of it she would have managed to keep the three clones alive and at least gotten the mix to last for a few hours upon injection on the man. It wasn't perfect but still it would do, she hoped. She would sedate them and make the move to deliver them to Lord Wolf's citadel for the festival that was being set up for. She would look around and take them to where they had to go with the injections ready to go behind the scenes.
~*~*~*~
Silver would contact Dante upon it getting closer to the day and find out where they would meet. Once known he would make note and gather the funds. On the day of the festival he would make his way to the meeting spot and wait for the rebel leader to show with Fire so they could do the exchange, no idea about a clone or anything.
~*~*~*~
Now if they did not escape and the clone and Ngozi would remain there then Ritzu would restrain the clone by force and keep her put while monitoring her, shocked she was awake and moving about on her own so early. She would lock the new man up and get done what she could. She would then take the two clones and the two men with her serums perfected as much as she could on her own to the place of the festival and go into waiting, ready to inject and activate the change upon the right time as it wasn't yet fully stay last like Rosalie's mostly was.
~*~*~*~
If the pair had escaped then the clone would go by any name Ngozi named her, staying at his side loyally like a dog almost and clung to him. She would even spin and admire the clothing he got for her.
~*~*~*~
The real Fire on the day of the festival would follow orders, going with Dante and staying quiet and trying to not draw any eye to herself.
