Interrogator: "Performing experiments you say?"
Annalise: "Yes. And he was doing it with mutagen as well."

The girls had arrived home from their mission. But they could not rest yet. Osore took a breath. "Alright. Let's focus. Master has everything down in the basement--"
21Please respect copyright.PENANABFTjIBTrf6
"Of course it's in the fuckin’ basement," Tsunami scoffed.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA54d5vcyl6g
Osore rolled her eyes. "We need to investigate and see what the hell he's doing with all that mutagen."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAaYnYV3O703
The girls prepared themselves to uncover the secrets hidden beneath the surface. As they descended into the darkness of the basement, they knew that their journey was only just beginning. When they got down into the basement, the sight sent shivers down their spines.... Hybrids, werewolves, werecats, dragons...he was experimenting on them...The girls snuck around carefully, trying not to bump into anything.
21Please respect copyright.PENANANF2bbXIZaF
Nova came across a testing tube holding a hybrid. It was an African teenager with curly hair crossing her arms over her chest. She was wearing a tight suit. She had white wings with golden webbing, white fox ears and tail. Alice looked at the label. It was a lightning dragon, with a mix of Arctic fox. Alice tilted her head in curiosity.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAuCA1lgrmxi
As the girls walk around, they see more and more hybrids that were affected by the mutagen. Ivy looked at the creations with a face of disgust.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAKCGgSDciVg
"Hey girls, look at this" Osore called.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAPSiIwTMzWR
The girls walk over. "It's a plan of some sort..." said Osore. Osore stared at it for a moment. But suddenly her eyes were wide with fear.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAqzoNFHkuWp
"Let me see!" said Nova.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA68XDeATjuy
"No," said Osore.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAkqReCb2bwy
"Why?" Nova whined.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAuh1pwSbwcY
The girls froze as they heard a loud hissing sound. They turned around. The lightning dragon. She had been released. But by who? The lightning dragon looked at them with golden yellow eyes that sparked with lightning.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ2MpbIB65
"We're doomed..." Frost muttered.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAexuRAz15fM
Without hesitation, the girls ran for dear life with the lighting dragon running behind them. And boy, was she fast...terrifyingly fast...The girls sprinted through the dimly lit basement, their hearts pounding with fear as they fled from the lightning dragon hot on their heels. Each step echoed loudly in the confined space, the sound of their panicked breaths filling the air as they raced towards the stairs leading to safety.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA3fzdRsoBGM
As they ran, Osore's mind raced with possibilities, trying to piece together how the lightning dragon had been released and who could be behind it. But in the chaos of the moment, there was no time for answers, only the urgent need to escape before it was too late.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAcoIWzshNB4
The girls reached upstairs, still being followed by the teenage girl.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFVGXXZJYlS
"Quickly out the door!" Ivy exclaimed.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA1tRGCPrLXX
The girls run to the front door and outside.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAN0sDAWyomJ
"I just hope she's not as smart as she looks," Nova said on the way out.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnyNDhdQXW0
When the girls were out of the house, they stopped to take a breath.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA4VSOA9KqLr
"We should be fine... for now," Osore said in between catching breaths.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAyjaVt56ERJ
"I feel very bad for her," said Nova.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnUoT0n8w9Z
"Why the heck do you feel bad for someone that just tried to kill us?!" Tsunami hissed.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAL04QbVn7yu
Nova sighed. "It's just...Being experimented on like that... it's not right."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAjnuX4eyCIy
Tsunami shook her head in frustration. "That's no excuse for trying to attack us," she argued, "She made her choice when she was let loose!"
21Please respect copyright.PENANAeb65NRRGAT
Frost remained silent, her mind was filled with questions and uncertainties, wondering what other secrets lay hidden in the depths of the basement.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAMoFl4mSPpq
Osore took a deep breath, her gaze focused and determined. "We need to find out who released her and put a stop to whatever plans they have," she declared.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAxtU1UQkOpG
The girls looked up as they heard creaking from the roof. The lightning dragon. It was there. The girls scattered in different directions.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAJpESpC3CJY
Osore ran through the streets of the neighborhood, her mind racing with thoughts of strategy and survival as she navigated the maze-like streets with determination.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAJx7rkQDon9
Ivy jumped over fences and raced through backyards. Her eyes darted around, searching for any sign of a potential escape route or hiding spot where they could regroup.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAn5U2Ga0s2r
Frost and Tsunami sprinted down the street, their breaths coming in ragged gasps as they pushed themselves to their limits in a desperate bid to evade capture. Their minds raced with thoughts of their friends' safety and the need to protect each other from harm as they raced towards the safety of a nearby park.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA9YzU1Fg8Zm
As for Nova, just as she had started climbing a tree, one of the branches snapped. Nova could feel her heart beat out of her chest as the lightning dragon walked closer. There was a loud screech, making Nova's fear rise. Another dragon landed before Nova and she fainted from the overwhelming situation.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAxC6RaAzfGE
A few seconds later...
Nova's eyes slowly opened, her vision was blurry for a moment, before finally looking around and seeing Phantom in his human form, cradling her in his arms. Nova didn't know how she should react. This was an assassin holding her. Should she panic? Should she remain calm? As Nova gazed up at Phantom, her mind raced with questions, her instincts urging her to flee, to escape from the clutches of the enemy.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAJWbgMMKupl
With a shaky breath, Nova forced herself to remain calm. "W-What...what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty. Nova's voice quivered as she struggled to comprehend Phantom's unexpected presence, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and curiosity. She searched his eyes for any hint of his intentions. Phantom's gaze softened slightly at Nova's question.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwGapjvV8qK
"I came to...to protect you," he admitted quietly. Nova's breath caught in her throat at his words, her mind reeling with disbelief. As she lay in his arms, Nova felt a wave of conflicting emotions wash over her.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnlYiUfHnQg
"I...I don't understand," Nova whispered, her voice barely audible above the pounding of her heart. "Why are you doing this?"
21Please respect copyright.PENANA0lLdfDEqYd
"Because...because I need answers," Phantom confessed.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnQT49sN1iX
Nova shook her head. Where is home? This has to be a trap. Nova rolled out of Phantom's arms and sat in front of Phantom.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAKwYohOyBmv
"What do you want to know?" she asked.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAhB7te9TXga
"Why did you try to find me?" Phantom asked.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFfEDgga5qb
Nova shrugged. "Dunno. I guess I was just being dumb."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAH5GeQqP3fD
"No you weren't," Phantom said firmly, "you were curious. You wanted to know more, just like I did."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAN7MKSceNnH
"So why did you back away," Nova asked, "why did you hide?"
21Please respect copyright.PENANAD2ddBZTDLD
Phantom was silent for a moment. "I..I I was...scared," Phantom stammered.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnWiYCUiKLu
"Don't like people seeing you as a weak lizard, eh?" Nova questioned.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwkKSXhow7C
Phantom chuckled softly and scratched the back of his head. "Well, if you wanna put it that way..."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAuiu629engK
"So I guess you're not as brave as everyone makes you out to be," said Nova.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAnrHNqQQ871
"I guess not," Phantom admitted.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAcZa7KqLTdn
Nova looked around as she heard Osore calling for her. Phantom stood and helped Nova to her feet.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAbjRTRYaZJd
Phantom gave a small smile. "Stay safe, trickster."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUNRFJ04owj
Nova returned the smile, giving a playful giggle, before running off to join her friends.
