Into the depths [Danny and Silus]

The return trip to Canada had been a short one, Alpha not wanting to waste too much time in the event that Danny would wake up early. From earlier shown footage, she had little difficulty dealing with two of them, meaning that he could not afford to have her gaining free reign within the heart of their facility.  Alpha had retrieved her phone upon loosing consciousness, looking through the multiple images posted upon Instagram of her beating up on both Gamma and Omega, making sure to delete the images rather quickly, and the ones that had seen it could be dealt with quickly enough. The small phone still was held within his hand, screen upwards even when it was a dark color. ”That was incredibly sloppy work on your part.” He muttered, turning to Zeta and Gamma, who lowered their heads fearing the dark tone that his voice was taking.

His eyes would turn to the footage of Danny sleeping upon a pristine white bed. The entire room mirrored that color however, as the entire lab did, a light shining throughout the room a she would press a button upon the intercom. ”Rise and shine Miss Tamamoa.” He would speak into the intercom, the voice reverberating through the room and hopefully loud enough to make her awaken. ”I'm sorry about the elbow to the face, but you'll find all injuries to be gone.” He would wait for her likely to show her displeasure with the accommodations, though he had been sure to be as cordial as possible. A plate of food had been placed by her bed, a warm looking soup with bread, fish and a drink that Alpha had looked into, one he hoped Danny would enjoy. Whether she would eat the nourishment that Alpha had offered her was unknown, but then again he didn't not care.

”Once you are done with the food, I have a change of clothes prepared. No, I will not turn the cameras off. You've proven yourself not deserving of that.” One could argue he was being cruel, but he could not allow the female even one moment alone. ”I will be awaiting you in the lab, a procession of signs along the hallway will lead you there, though if you do attempt to leave, remember that will only do you harm.” Once she was done with not eating or eating, and dressing in the clothes left for her, the door would open for her to exit out of. While that happened, Alpha would step into his personal lab, one that Danny was to talk to, dressed in white slacks, a matching shirt, a white jacket over that and shoes the same color. As sterile looking as everything else within the place.

He would wait for her, leaning against a counter with a small smirk formed upon his lips, tapping foot softly against the white floor while lights would flash and beakers let their fluids bubble about. Once the door opened, he would welcome her. ”Welcome to my lab Danny.”

"Am I dead?" The entire room looked it. Reading the wall inscriptions among temples from two dozens different cultures all showed Danny death would open before her with arms of white. Sometimes a golden road leading to a gate, other times a door descending to an open abyss, but always a cornucopia. Then she heard the devil talk. "Did I kill you and take you with me to the afterlife?" An answer of yes would actually inspire Danny with happiness. A 'no' would confirm her kidnapping actually happened. "I still want to talk to my friend Dragon Girl." Danny got up and pushed her spoon around the food a little. Waking up with the taste of blood in the back of your throat did a lot to curve appetite. "If I don't deserve privacy I can only imagine the things you don't deserve." Still, Danny located the cameras, but instead of throwing her blankets over them, she just covered herself in the blanket and changed. Her charred and burned school shirt came off first to be overtaken by a one piece white dress with no sleeves. The skirt fell just above her knees and fit herself quite well. If someone rescued her in this, she might actually think about keeping it. She would destroy later, but she would think about it.

The heels barely fit her, but her feet were a little larger than the rest of her frame. She guessed Travis didn't think of everything. "When I get the chance, can I apologize to Zeta and Gamma. It must be really tough to work for a creep and me beating them that badly must have really made you sour." She turned to examine the rest of the lab and what all it entailed. "Where are my relics? If I'm going to be here for your creepfest, I might as well get some work done."

Silus had been hanging around with the other dorks that were part of that Prodigy group. Sure he might as well have been one of them by now, the way Yancey was and all that, but he wasn't exactly invited so he wouldn't really push his boundaries. If he deserved an invitation then one would have been given to him. Granted he thought he was a good little hero, gave up his soul to save his best friend, then gave up his best friend to save a total stranger...granted it was an innocent little girl but hey. Live and learn right? Silus was hanging out with Ryan in particular today. Since Yancey was gone Ryan and Diana were literally his best friends now. He couldn't pick one. But it turns out that today in the middle of their regular hanging out they had accidentally swapped phones.

"I told him having matching phones was a bad idea..." He said. Probably didn't help that Ryan's background was a picture of a cute Cori and Silus' background was a picture of wolf-pup Yancey. Silus would have called Ryan but he didn't know his own number. Silus was actually waiting for his other homeless friend to arrive at the moment, he had a couple of them. Silus hoped that Ryan remembered to show up too, and maybe even Darren Cross. That'd be cool.

Today was definitely going to be a good day. Somehow some way it was gonna work out, and this party was gonna be awesome! Sadly, Silus was currently bored as his Father needed to be at Gene-Tech HQ for something administrative. Silus just followed his dad around, he didn't pay attention tot he dull stuff. Then again that means right now he wouldn't be paying attention to his own life, because that shit was boring right now. Of course everything changed when the fire nation attacked. It also changed when Ryan's phone vibrated, grabbing his attention. He looked down to see who it was, a childlike curiosity now tempting the cat from safety.

Alpha gave Danny wearing the white apparal a cursory glance, unnoticable as he chuckled and brushed off the seemingly scatching response. Despite the fact that he was the one that had abducted her, she had a reason to be angry and so he would permiss such a response for now. ”The relics are right over here.” He said, pushing off from the table and turning to motion towards them laying on a pristine white table. They had been elft in the same state that Alpha had them when the were stolen, not even a single mark added or subtracted. ”No need to be so cold Danny. Our goals aren't as different as you imagine them to be. I'm hoping that I could call you an ally even.” She would be a tough nut to crack for sure, but Alpha had his ways when wanting something.

”That aside, your tablets are in an acceptable condition I hope.” idle conversation more than anything else, Alpha motioning with one hand as a floating monitor would come to his and fingers would type along the keys. Colors flashed along the screen, minor records, nothing that would offer any useful information to anyone that had looked through them. He typed along the keyboard for a few minutes, before turning his attention back to Danny, waiting for her to glean some kind of information from these tablets.

"Nah, I'm pretty hot right now, and I've seen your allies. Not impressed." With no eye contact given over to Alpha, Danny gave a quick look over of the relics. Sure they were old and heavy in weight and markings, but nothing really stuck out. The stone of each relic came from deposits not readily found in the exact area, so either these stones came to one place from different areas, or different cultures created these tablets. "Go get me some water. I might be thirsty after this."

Now what really interested Danny laid just before her. With no obstruction in the way, a bare hand brushed over the relic. Reality peeled away, white walls becoming more livid. The same market she saw in the first vision came back. A throng of people clanged through the streets in front of the merchant stalls flanking the dirt road. A couple of years ago Danny tailed along to an expedition to a dig site in western China. Nothing of the village reminded her of previous expedition, but while in the local town where the surveyors stayed, Danny remembered a dog always sitting on the corner of her hotel. With the same mangy brown hair and a black spot under it's shimmering yellow eyes, the hill the road ran up began kicking back in some memories she conjured up of her previous knowledge.

Across the street from the familiar dog, the same man with the same monkey as before peddled his tricks. He drew a knife and began to press it through his stomach, yet no blood came. Inch by inch the dagger plummeted until nothing else appeared. A wave of his hand and the handle still rested in his stomach. Slowly, he pulled the knife from his gut and placed it in front of himself. A thin line of blood started dripping from the end of the dagger. Danny never saw where the blood originated from, but the pool began to smoke a thin, tiny trail of red dust in front of the man. A cloud formed and in a few moments dissipated, leaving behind nothing but a dagger.

Danny took her hand off the relic. In her right hand she held a dagger.

Silus looked at the phone it was a text message from... "Mr.Atterrius" Wow, seriously Ryan. Who calls him that. It's Zell. Oh wait, Ryan thought Silus was Zell at one point. Okay so now this makes sense. But really though? His dad was like two years older than Ryan, the "Mr." sounds way to formal. Silus decided since it was his dad it was like Ryan was texting his property, so it wouldn't be rude to look at it the texts they had. Silus wasn't surprised to see random cat photo's followed by Zell stating he didn't like cats and Ryan putting in a crying face. Looked like they got along well enough but the most recent texts message was strangely directed at Silus.Huh...

 

Spoiler:

  The texts over Silus eagerly departed, his destination none other than Masters' Pharmaceuticals. He half wondered about those text messages he saw from someone named Danny. Who was Danny? Danny Phantom? That would be sweet. Silus' mind began to conjure up the concept of a super powered friend named Danny for Ryan and he had some interesting results. But whomever Danny was Silus was just glad Ryan had another friend. Who knows, maybe Silus would get along with Danny. If Danny is a friend of Ryan's then Danny must be a swell guy. Silus quickly returned to Gene-Tech HQ and got into a car. He requested the driver take him to his destination, the same coordinates Zell located. He'd get there pretty soon. Hopefully he'd be there soon, and hopefully he'd have a plan...even more than that though Silus hoped this driver didn't turn out to be a troll like Red Tide. He didn't wanna get blown up today.

Alpha and Danny
---
”My allies and my family are two different things.” Alpha stated off handidly, returning to typing something in his mobile data base, a few more images flashing across it. The screen would twist and change, revealing a few camera feeds of different rooms within the facility, splitting into twenty six different screens with each following a different of people inside. Each doing different things, though some were interacting and some were doing their own thing, in the end they were all acting as individuals to some degree. Turning to Danny, he would notice something within her hands, a dagger and a curious expression would paly along his features, turning to the feed of the room and examining it to see where she had produced the weapon, seeing nothing and being even more confused. ”Weapon production, thats a neat trick.”

Zeta and Delta
---
”That was fucking cheating.” Zeta spat, Delta laughing to himself with controller in hand.

”Sorry, I don't speak loser.” He mocked, thinking himself so clever as he leaned back on the overly plush bean bag. ”Don't blow a gasket pryo boy, it's just a game.” Delta tutted, rolling his eyes, Zeta taking  a drag from his cigarette and releasing the smoke through his nostrils.

”Whatever, I want a rematch.”

”Nah, I think we should like go look at the newbies or somethin.”

”I don't. They're young and stupid, keep pullin my hair too.” Zeta grumbled, fingers playing along the buttons of the controller, though Delta only had to press a switch to the turn the entire thing off. This drew an angry growl from Zeta, who shot a curse in another language before sighing. ”Whatever.” He sighed, both standing up and walking out into the white corridor.

"It must be harder than getting me a glass of water." This dagger didn't do her much good right now. It would do some pretty good use in the back of Alpha's head, but that would be later. For now, she just wanted to get into the rest of these tablets. "I'm going to check this one now."

A smooth ivory finish lined the words of the tablet. Some long lost language soon transformed into a living dreamscape. Water poured from the mountains above, crashing against the jagged rocks lining the shallow pool at the bottom outcropping between the mountain pass. Two fires continued to burn from the other side of the cascade. A slit between the water and the wall opened up into a shallow cave. Brushing a calm hand against a piece of metal, fire began forming along the walls of the cave. A fire etched out of stone while a man with a monkey continued to etch out fire throughout the cave. Each marking gave way to a new kindling.

Returning back to the lab, or at least seeing her visions subside, Danny looked down to the markings on her dagger. Looking around the lab and rubbing her fingers across the markings, a fire sparked inside of one of the control consoles. Moving her gaze around the room, Danny sparked four fires to break out. Her bracelet felt invigorated and Danny knew she would be in need of some fighting skills in the next few minutes. "Have you gotten my water yet?"

Silus arrived where he needed to be. He turned around and told the driver he should just go back to the place they came from. It was better off that way, if things went bad there was no doubt that this guy should be safe. Unless he was really a cyborg ninja, then he should totally stay. The Driver just laughed as if he chalked it all up to childish imagination and drove off as he was asked to. Silus questioned how he'd get in. Being just a typical child may or may not have been an issue when walking into a pharmaceutical company. Silus was a little more worried about what happened if he ran into Jason, that would be odd. Oh well, he's waited around long enough. Silus wandered into the facility before moving in and about in relative freedom. He moved in and out, casually peeking into rooms as he did. He was likely to look suspicious, in all reality he wore an over sized hoodie jacket with his hands buried in it.

  "Uhm. Okay. I'm lost." Silus said with a little nod and tucking his lips in, contemplating with a little hum. "Whelp. Random tele-time!" He said with a smile before randomly triggering his void walking ability and randomly landing in a place he wasn't expecting. Well he wasn't expecting anywhere. Okay so he totally needed to find where to go, right now he was just in this white corridor thing, looking about. How was he gonna do that? Quickly he withdrew his left hand from his pocket and he contemplated doing his paint-trail thingy. "Still better than teleporting into that cave with the Zubats." Silus said with a shrug as he looked about, suddenly startled by a curse word in foreign language he knew. It made him cringe as he looked towards the source, an unamused look on his face as two men appeared in his line of sight.

Alpha
--
”No, the water is easy enough to get too.” Alpha stated, the sound of the automatic door opening signaling him to turn to what looked like Epsilon bringing along with him a glass of water. Setting the water down on the table beside Danny, the young male would leave the room and the two to whatever they were doing. All seemed to be going well, until fires started to spark up anyway, making him question the purpose of the dagger. Unless the female had suddenly garnered pyrokinetic abilities, or someone had sabotaged his equipment, then something was going wrong. Still, he had thought this through, contengencies in place in case someone attempted to start fires within the bowels of his own facility.

”I had actually, but setting fires....that's low.” Alpha tutted, sending a signal to the bases personal fire respose systems. Five holes would open within the ceiling, releasing tendrils that moved to the heat signatures, and released a foam until the fires were doused. ”Now while I find you to be useful, the tablets are another matter. I mean you are free to try that again, but next time will not go so well.”

Zeta and Delta
–

”So which way was it to the nursery again?” Delta would ask, Zeta pausing to consider the question before coming up with an answer.

”Level 24 I think, that's like right next to Omega's room anyway.” Zeta answered, the other nodding before pausing, and blinking a couple of times. What he was looking upon was Silus, pausing a moment as if wondering where he had suddenly come from. ”Oh look, I think one got out.”

”Probably some kinda teleporting.” Delta agreed. ”Hey little guy, you shouldn't be wandering the halls like that. You'll get lost, and then Alpha will get....whatever it does he gets.” Delta said in his usual friendly tone before something seemed to catch his attention. ”Woah, nice eyes.”

”Looks like we'll need to bring this one to Omega.”

”Oh, yeah he'll probably want to see him.” Delta agreed, lifting Silus and placing him on his shoulders. ”Next stop, Omega.”

Danny took a sip of her water. "It's hot in here. I thought you told me not be so cold, so here's me not being cold." Fires started sparking up around the room. It didn't quite look like it did the last time she fought Alpha, but it was a friendly reminder back to those days. "Look at all the warmth I have." Instead of focusing on anything external, Danny would start trying to make the fires start inside of computers or other consoles, so the tendrils would need to remove panels to extinguish the fires eating away at critical components of the lab.

"Which one of these computers has the mainframe for the extinguishers? Or the locks on the doors? Anyway to shut down the entire facility from here?" Hopefully her destruction amounted to something good for her, but in most ways, it would only serve to provide minor damages to the surrounding area. To complete the object of control, Danny would spark up a fire on the console just to her left. The rest of the contents of her water glass would pour out to hush squelch the fire. "I'm kinda tired. I could use a nap, and I prefer my own bed, so where's the way out? Or, are things going to get nasty? Cause, I've got a knife and can start fires."

Silus found himself the subject of scrutiny. Not the negative kind, just heavy observation. A nice person made a comment about his eyes, while the other one said about getting him to Omega. Silus didn't know exactly if that was a person or a place, but then again he recalled them saying something about there being something next to "Omega's room" which lead him to believe that it was in fact a person. Still he didn't have to be a genius to know that going to an "Omega" wasn't very friendly sounding. Unless they functioned like wolves...then it was the weakest member who stayed to look after the young. Silus groaned, irritated by how easily he was manhandled by a stranger and set on his shoulders.

"Uhm...Thanks? My eyes are my best feature. And uh... Omega?" Silus asked before contemplating this. Where is his mission objective? Video game style! oh wait, he didn't have a marker to appear through walls and stuff, darn. "I thought I was told to go see Alpha..." He said innocently. Apparently one of the children got out...he might as well play the part, right? He blinked and looked about as he tried to observe all the sights to see and all the things to hear. He honestly just wanted in and out before he ran into his friend, because that would quite possibly ruin friendships right here. He looked around wanting very quickly to meet this Alpha person. He quickly began to try and think of a way out of this situation. He couldn't help but wonder why the heck they needed to meet the Omega person. He couldn't wait to solve this all. Red Lobster was waiting for him.

Alpha
–
”You exceed my expectations yet again Miss Tamamoa.” he said, though one could assume he was joking if his tone was not so bland. Luckily a simple lab did not hold anything as key as consoles that controlled the entire facility, that belonged in soemthing like a control room, such as his personal bed room. The fire remval tendrils would work at full capacity to remove anels, atempting to douse the fires and keep them from causing any damage that could not be rapaired. ”Well if you spent less time trying to set my facility on fire and more time investigating, you might be gone already.” With a motion of a hand, he would lift one of the unread tablets into the air, letting it hover there, rotating slowly. ”I do wonder how much force it would take to reduce this to powder.”

Delta and Zeta
–
”Yeah they're pretty cool.Everyone else justhas the same eyes for some reason.” Delta said, not quite catching the fact that he had offered some evidence, non matter how circumstantial it was.

”Yeah Omega, the guy who's in charge of looking after all you new guys. Well, he does more than that but that other stuff isn't important.” Zeta added, shrugging and removing a small black bit from his pocket, placing it between hi lips and inhaling. A blue tip light up, and after a few seconds he removed it, and released a nearly imperceitble vapor from his notrils. ”If you wanna see Alpha, you gotta ask Omega about that. Alpha is busy with whatever, doesn't like being bothered.”

”Yeah, he can be pretty scary if you make him angry.” Delta agreed as they stepped into an elevator, descending for less than a minute before it stopped and opened out into another hallway. Walking down the hallyway for another rminute or two, they came upon a door that slid open to reveal a male looking onward into a room, fingers typing away at a panel. ”Omega, we found us a run away.” Delta said, removing Silus dowm his shoulders and placing him feet first on the ground.

”A run away?” Omega swivled in his chair, turning to look at the three rather curiously.

”Apparantly he was spposed to meet Alpha, but he's busy.”

”Ah yes, with the guest.  You'll probably need a few minutes before you can see Alpha.” He said patting the seat beside him, most likely inviting Silus to sit beside him. If he did, the floor beyond the window woul be visible, mostly full around hundreds of individuals, all around the age of fifteen, doing various activities. ”So many young ones, but you're the only one with such a strange difference.” He added, examining Silus' eyes with a curious expression. ”Anyway, before I can take you to Alpha, I need to do a small series of tests. Nothing invasive, I assure you but they're sort of mandatory.”

"Again, given your family, I assume you're expectations are low hanging fruit. Also, you're a creep, and I'm glad your lab is on fire." Even with the fires gasping for air and dying, it looked nice to smell something other than the sterile smell of a lab, even if the smell did replace itself with smoke. "I already dug through two and started a fire. I guess the rest will be really interesting." Before she could end her statement, one of the tomes lifted from the table and began levitating menacingly over the ground. "Funny." Danny put her hand on the dagger. "I was thinking the same thing about this base."

After the fires subsided and no new fires sparked up, Danny took hold of the floating tablet. A new scenescape opened up before her within the jungles of a dark part of the world. The same yellow eyed dog she saw in the previous two locations walked into a small out hut built into the side of a mound rising from a swamp fen. A man tinkered with machinations of a primitive design. Copper with some iron made the frames hiding a steel component in the center. He focused solely on the interior and sparked a flame. Similar markings to the dagger began inscribing within the creature. As the inscriptions filled with light, the automaton began to express a full range of motion. A movement of fingers from the man sitting over the small creature ushered it to life.

Pulled back to reality, Danny set the table down and looked around the room at each of the fires she started, and there laid the same marked inscriptions as on the dagger.

Okay, break it down now. Throughout this day Silus had learned many things. Ryan was friends with Danny Phantom, Someone in this huge building thingy is messing up reality, there is an Alpha and an Omega like a pack. Wait wasn't Milla here too? So Milla and Jason are people he needed to avoid. Wait, didn't Milla run away? She probably met up with her stupid boyfriend or whatever that guys was. Silus didn't like that Sheroid guy, he was too quick to kill. Oh wait he was supposed to be meeting this Omega person? They all had the same color eyes? He'd totally have to change them. Of course he wouldn't be able to for some reason, he just sorta spaced it apparently. Stupid glamour impotence. Regardless, he wouldn't need to hide his eyes. They were his best feature after all. Wait, what was he freaking out about again?

He was reminded of what he was freaking out about when this Omega guy said something about a run away. Oh yeah these guys were total creeps! Silly him, how could he forget that? Wait, no...this one who held him on his shoulders... he liked this one. The other two could go to prison for all Silus cared. Omega didn't really help his paranoia either as he kept running hi trap. So first there was a nursery. Run anyways from said nursery, which they seemed to assume Silus was. Some jerk named Alpha who needed a serious attitude adjustment. This Omega dude who needed to run tests. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that child experimentation and examination was going on here. The depth of it Silus had no real idea, but he found himself very uncomfortable and unwilling to take any form of test. "Uhm... yea, I know what Milla told me. I'm not letting you test me." Silus said rather steadfast as he refused to sit. He anticipated an oncoming attack from guy who swears, so Silus turned and looked at all of them. "Milla and I have the same powers but I'm not gonna lie...I thought she was joking." Silus said, pinning things back on them for a moment, if not just to confuse them a moment. With little preparation needed Silus threw up an illusion that the three of them were in total darkness, only able to see each other. Silus flourished his wrist and magically The Wishing Star appeared in his hand. The glowing sheen vanished as he whispered almost inaudibly "I wish upon the morning star. Once the darkness is removed Jason's family will forget all about me." The blade turned to dust and the golden dust settled upon the room. Silus let himself out the door, looking to the hilt of the blade-less sword as the door closed and the Darkness receded.

Silus found himself moving quickly and quietly as he made his way down the hallway. He felt a surge for a moment, was that what a breach in reality felt like? Holy crap that felt cool! He'd have to do it more often! Wait he didn't do that. Silus turned and looked to the door, blinking at it as he stepped towards it, opening it and stepping in before closing the door. Looking over he looked and he saw a very pretty girl. Very pretty which means Silus shouldn't mess with her. Pretty girls can kill. Or was it pretty grills? Whatever, either way she was with the strange person. He immediately froze up and looked around. "SSSSoooo.... are either of you Alpha? 'Cuz I gotta have a serious talk with this "Alpha" dude." Silus said with a blink, looking to Alpha and then to Danny.
