RPG-Edge of Reality

Elle moaned in annoyance. Her head was killing her. And why the heck were those men screaming their heads of? She was being pulled throught a corridor. Her eyes were teary. Must be due to the different air. She felt being sitted in some kind of gynecologist chair. Hands and legs being tied up. Someone was ugging her hair. 'Grrr...If he pulls one more time my hair, Im gonna bit him', Elle thought. Why couldnt they give her a painkiller? What was happening? Did she tresspassed somewhere?

"What do you think sir?"

"Indeed...This one is an outstanding one...and deadly."

"What level should I put her?"

"Im not sure yet. I have to examine her...But looking at her she is in no condition right now. Take her to the cafeteria with the others. Tomorrow if there is improvement well begin the tests"

"Yes sir"

During the talk Elle felt something injecting her arm. "What the he-", she tried to protest but it only made her hurt more. Hands again untied her and guided her to a different place.

"Enjoy your meal, sugarlips. It might as well be your last", a guard whispered in her ear and pushed her inside the cafeteria.

Elle was about to turn around and give him a piece of her mind, when she noticed more guards in the room. She decided to let it pass. She scanned the room try to decided where was safer for her to sit.

The bell rung and The goths sighed as the cyber cuffs attached themselves to their wrists and ankles again.
"Guys i'm taking something to Angel we shared the same cage cover me" Uzti whispered. The goths stood around her as she lifted her sleeve up and stuffed the forks and spoons into her arm finally they shuffled over the their Dorm and Uzti slipped into the glass one easily.
"hey brought you somethin' and thanks for standing up for us back there" I huffed.
"No probs do it all the time when i was... Normal" Uzti sighed sitting on her bunk.
"You know there is nothing wrong with being special" she looked up to me her orange eyes gleaming. "i used to think there was but then i realised thats what they want us to think, they brian washing calling us an abomination and treating us like inhuman beings which some of us become if we are exposed to this treatment long enough" Uzti sighed her shoulders sagging.
"I used to have a brother once but he was caught before i was, we where always hiding and he would protect me all the time...

"You must hide Uztiama we must not go to hell we have a life to live we must not be caught"
"But why big Brother why can't we go home? why can't we see mama"
"We just can't we cannot leave our way of exiting was long ago destroyed for now we have to keep unseen"
"Hayamaru why do they want us to go to hell?" Hayamaru sighed his white hair now dyed a disgusting black in hope to stay unoticed but his attempts were in vain.

"Many times we were so closed to being caught but it was alway Hayamaru's quick thinking that saved us" Uzti looked up at the ceiling her eyes smiling in the memory nostalgia. "But one time we were about to be caught when he shoved me into a hole in the wall which hid me but i was able to see them as they captured him shoving him into a net like a Dog!" Uzti slammed her fist into the side of the glass wall. She then calmed down. "from then i tried my hardest to save him untill i formed the best plan i could think of then." she took a pause so long i had to ask.
"What was it?"
"My plan was to surrender and help my brother from the inside" I stared at her my eyes boggling. 'surrender? why would anyone do that?' my thoughts told me.
"hehe yeah i thought the same thing at first but then i came to terms wth my situation i was all alone and finding another group of refugees is almost as dangerous as walking around with a bomb in your hand, my brother my only relative was in a place where our own kind was tourtured for just being different, and i was eight, things weren't looking up for me, at all." Now listening to her i found myself think about how strong she must have been.
"So i dressed up as a goth and came in peacefully." she looked up at me her silver hair leaving only one of her orange eyes visible to me. "They let their guard down to an eight year old" she chuckled "but when i came to the dorm i had found out i had been to late, my brother had been a bit of a rebel and he was killed only five days before just to make space for new Aliens" she laughed a sour, bitter sound. "They Killed Him" She shouted still laughing before it turned into a sob and a corus of tears "they killed my brother... And i miss him so so so much"

Sid got up after the bell rang and she grabbed Koga, who was still a slobbering chili mess.

"Koga, when we get back to the cell, you have a lot of explaining to do, and cleaning also."

"Well, at least say some sort of temporary farewell to your new friends," He said back, licking his muzzle,

'Thank godness I was at a caffee before I ended up here', Elle prayed as she looked at the food. Then a bell rang and she saw everyone sitting up. 'Must be the end of the break...', she thought as she observed the others moving to the exit. Then something brushed next to her leg. As she looked down, her eyes popped out from her face. "Was that a....talking toy?", she ask herself. She felt the guards looking at her so she get in line to be placed in her cell.

Roxie stayed seated as everybody else, Cordelia included, got up to go to their cells.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Look, Cor, I'm going to my cell either way, but I'd rather it be with whatever fight I have left in me. I'll see you in a little while." Roxie gave a half wave and ran a hand through her hair.

Cordelia shrugged and left. A moment later, Roxie heard a cold voice. "Get up. Resistance gets you nowhere here."

"Well, nowhere but dead," A second voice added.

"Go to Hell," Roxie told the boys. It was another duo of her characters, Kyle and Tyler.

"I got some news for ya, kitty," Tyler hauled her up by the front of her black workout jumpsuit. "You're already there." They both laughed at this joke and hauled Roxie's struggling form back to her cell, where Cordelia was already waiting.

"How'd that work?" She asked with a smirk.

"Hw do you think it went?" Roxie growled as Tyler and Kyle stationed themselves by the exit. "Now I have to be watched."

Elle watched with the corner of her eye at the fight between the boys and the guards. 'So, in the end there is some kind of resistance...Not enough thought.', she thought as she start walking. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Not you honey. We have another appointment for you." It was the same guard that called her sugarlips. Elle tried hard not to make her fist meet with his jaw. "Excuse me?", she said to him. "Man, they werent kidding me when they said that you werent bright...", the man sneared and taking her by the hand he guided her out of the room and into a different hallway than the others. Elle made her best to not amke a grimance.
"Sir, Ive brought her."He said when he opened a door.
"Good. You may leave us." A male voice replied. The guard nodded and closed the door behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There you go sugarlips...Your new home. Get used to it."the guard smirked at Elle but she paid no attention. As she stepped inside the cell the door closed behind her. "My my....It seems that the guard fancy you. Lucky you huh? Miss sugarlips?", a voice said from her right side. Elle turned around to see her new rude roomate.
It was a man, probably around 25-27 years old. He had light brown hair tied up in a baraid that was so long that he had to wrap it around his neck like a scarf. He was wearig casual clothing: A T-shirt, torn jeans and black low boots. He had a nice face. 'Probably the local ladykiller', Elle thought kinda indifferent. But what caught her attention was his left side. His left arm was all wrapped in bandages and his left eye was covered with an eyepatch. The starnge thing was that he was moving his arm like it was hurt at all. 'Then why the bandages?', Elle thought.
"My name isnt sugarlips. Its Elle. Mr Smartguy", Elle shot him back. "Well Miss Sugarlips",the man continued ignoring her comment,"the bell had rung a long time ago. So, where were you? How can you walk around that freely considering the fact that you re the new girl?"
"For your information", Elle told him,"I wasnt walking around. They had taken me down for some...tests. I believe tests take a while to be completed, dont they?"
"...Yes...", the man agreed.
"So stop acting like the king of the junkyard and let me take a rest. You have two options here. One: you ignore and I ignore you too, so we can build a nice relationship...Two: you continue this and with the first opportunity Ill take the guard's bat and stuck it right in your @@@!! You wouldnt like that, would you?" Elle finished and enjoyed the expression on the man's face. It was priceless. Probably noone dared to speak like that to him.
"Mphfff", he just said and lied down on his bed.

Vaugne slammed the door behind Koga and Sid, making them both flinch.

"Rolecall's at 6 sharp, so don't be late!"

"Unless what?"

"No meals for two days, alien!"

That was far enough, "Alien?! I turned into one of my OCs when I fell down here! I'd fit in perfectly, ya darn half-blood feline!" Sid snarled at him, causing him to back away and eventually out of the cellblock.

"Great job, Schwartza-wolfy, now they're gonna out you in Refinement." Koga spat angrily

"Refinement?" Then the thought of straightjackets and soft, cushioned rooms hit her mind, "Feh, let them. It'll be great practice for learning how to use my new powers!"

Though no one came to get her, and the day waned and the night came

I sighed sitting down next to Uzti in my hand I held the spoons and forks but they didn't seem that tasty now.
"Uzti i'm, i'm so, so sorry" Uzti looked up at me her eyes full of hope. "This is a horrible, horrible place, and i hate it as much as the next guy so i'll make you a promise" i looked about satisfied with the privacy "I promise that i will get you out of here." Uzti smiled and hugged me.

"Tyler, Kyle, get a life," Roxie groaned. Two hours and they just sat there, teasin her and playing poker. Cordelia was asleep.

"Unless you have something to bring to the table, shut up Alien!" Kyle said.

"First, you're playing on the floor. Second, I'm not an alien and third, you are the most annoying characters I ever came up with."

"Did you not hear Kyle? Shut up!" Tyler growled.

"What if I have something to bargain?" Roxie asked.

"Whataya got?"

Roxie held up her right wrist. "Bracelet. Pure white gold. Three hundred dollars. I win, I keep it and Cordelia, me, Sid, Koga, Cia and that chick who started the fight earlier go free."

"No way in hell," Kyle shook his head.

"Fine. Extra food and excersize time for a week," Roxie said, leaving no room for argument. The boys looked at each other and nodded.

"Way deal," Tyler grinned.

Roxie smiled a feline smile. She was an ace at poker.

It was late at night, Sid, normally, was dead out of it. Nothing could wake her at this time.

But Koga, on the other hand, was a very light sleeper, and awoke at the sound of keys jangling.

"Uh, Sid?" Koga tried waking her, "Sid?!" He bit her tail, but he realized he didn't have any teeth. "SIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!" He yelled into her ear.

"Yiiiiiiieeeeeppp!!!" She jumped up, sending her airborne for a few seconds, and then falling back down onto her side. "Koga!"

"Shut up, canines!" She heard Vaugne yell at them, "You'll wake the cranky ones, and your release will be overturned!"

Release?

"Who set us free?"

"Apparently there was a chain. Two guards being told byt the chief to let you guys go. Now get out! Before I change my mind!"

Sid and Koga got out of there fast.

"Chill, I'll come quietly," said Cia as she exited the lunchroom and Mura appeared flashing out a hand. "I can throw a punch, kick, and bite, but I'm not very strong. Have you seen my arm? The muscle jiggles when you tap it." Mura laughed at this and now merely pushed Cia along.
"For an evil alien fish-girl, you're not half bad," said Mura. "I find it a strength in some people to admit when they are weak and need protecting."
"I'm not evil," said Cia. "Mura, the people who created you, the Foot, Shredder, Bishop, they're evil."
"Where did you learn my name?" asked Mura.
"I created you," said Cia. "I wasn't a fish-girl till I woke up in my cell with Wheeljack hovering over me. Moments before that I had tripped trying to bring I picture I had drawn back to my house. I was a normal girl, not fish features or nothin'." Mura stood in shock for a minute then laughed.
"HAHA," the techno-organic said, "What a h*lluva weird dream, Fish Girl. What's your name?"
"Cia."
"Well then, Cia, it's a shame you're an illegal alien," said Mura as they arrived at Cia's cell and Mura opened the door and Cia walked inside, "Because we would have made great friends, but since you are an illegal alien, don't think I'll go easy on you if you try to escape. This will only make it harder." Mura locked the cell. "Night, Cia, see ya tomorrow."
"Good night," sighed Cia as Mura walked away. Where was the Autobot inventor? Was he planning on taking his good sweet time rescuing her?

"Four of a kind. Aces. Take that, suckers!" Roxie pushed her cards through the bars of her cell. "Read 'em and weep! I'd say a victory like that deserves to be set free!" She said triumphantly. 'Not to mention, I hid the aces up my sleeve and the two, six, queen and four are in my inside coat pocket.' she thouht.

"Fine, that was some win, kitty." Tyler drawled.

"Almost unbelievable," Kyle agreed.

'Believe it,' Roxie prayed.

"I'll issue the order for the aforementioned people, you set Kitty here and hre pretty friend free," Tyler said, and Kyle took out his keys. "Time for a chief imitation that will make chief himself shiver," Ty grinned.

'I thank myself for making them stupid,' Roxie thought in relief as she and Cordelia waited for Kyle to turn the lock.

Looking around I saw the poker game and laughed when I sensed the trickery from the panther girl.
"Nice set of cards you got there you play very very well but you would have won even with out the fake set their set was lousy anyway" I said in the panther girls head, a power I had discovered I had.

(Just to make it clear the only powers i have are ableing things around me to hover but only with help of the halo being able to speak to others in their mind but only with the halo. fly, and I can't get hurt that easily so my mayjor powers can only come around with the halo, dammit!)

Koga and Sid walked out and joined the group. Koga was the first one there, since Sid was still a bit tired.

"So, how's everyone at 3 in the morning?" Koga said happily

"Tired. But I love Poker!" Roxie said. "I'm guessin you're right though," she turned to Angel as Kyle unlocked the cage. "I probably had the best hand no matter how you throw it," She winked.

"Well, I'm tired and I want to leave." Cordelia said. Roxie flicked her with her tail and smiled.

Tyler walked back, whistling happily. "I am so happy! Chief'd be turning over in his grave if he could ear that impression!"

"Chief's dead?" Cordelia asked.

"Nope. I just liked saying that. I'm lucky, Vaugne goes for my impression every time." Tyler grinned, then went back to his guard attitude.

"Now get out before we change our minds and lock you all back up!" Kyle threatened.

"I'm already gone," Roxie startedd running down the hall.

"Psst...Hey!! Miss Sugarlips", a voice whispered at Elle. She tried to contrlol herself and not go lashing on her stupid roomate. "For the zillionth time...its not Sugarlips! What the heck do you want?", she finally answered annoyed as she lifted her head from the pillow. The man's braid appeared first from the bed above her and then his head. "Whatcha doing?", he asked as if he had never seen somebody lying n a bed before. "Well, I was hoping in getting some peace and quiet...but seeing this wont be my fate toninght...Speak! What do you want?", Elle barked.
"Ho! Easy, dont bite...I was thinking...what is your speciality?", he asked her.
"Huh? My what?", Elle asked
"Why did you get imprisoned for? What's abnormal with you? How much of a freak are you?", he showered her with cunning questions.
"Im not a freak!! And why should I answered to your questions? I dont even know who you are!!", Elle wiched she could punch him.
"Right!! Where are my manners. Im Cal...Cal Marker", the young man finally introduced himself.
".....Elle....", Elle simply replied.
"So tell me? What your fresky part? As I see you you seem pretty normal to me...By the way, why are you wearing sunglasses inside here?",Cal tried to take Elle's sunglasses off.
She immidiately slapped his hand away.
"Dont you ever try to take off my glasses..."she growled. "And as a matter of fact, by the time I woke up in here, everything was all but normal...Firstly my hair..."she said and pointed at her hair. The truth is that they have grown way too much. Now they missed the floor by few centimeters. And their color changed too. She used to have red curly hair. Now it was violet. She just hadnt realised it before.

"C'mon, Sid!" Koga tried shaking her awake, "We'll find a hotel once we're out, now come on!!

Sid opened her mouth in an annoyed yawn and got up to run.

"Youbettergetonmybackoryoullgetleftbehind..." She slurred

Koga obeyed and she took off in a drunken run.

I looked up as someone unlocked my cage, i stood up protectivly over the sleeping Uzti.
"Hey wings some one over there got your freedom outa a poker game 'owa 'bout you leave 'efore we 'hange ou' min's"

I nodded before waking up Uzti "She's comin' with me" he shook his hand dismissivly "whatever" and I ran from the cage with Uzti waking in my arms.

"Guys, look we shouldn't try, there are more of them, most probably stronger..." said Cia.
"Well," said someone coming out from the shadows, "You have the brilliant Autobot inventor to help out now."
"Wheeljack!" exclaimed Cia as she shot the bars of her cell so they disintegrated. "What took you so long?"
"Got a little held up," he said. "Like my new Disentagraton 2.5?" He held out the laser that had disintegrated her cell bars.
"Let's just hope it doesn't blow up," said Cia. "Let's go!" With a robot on her side, she was now more confident.

"Is everybody out who needs to be out?" Cordelia asked Tyler.

"Well, everybody that kitty bargained for." The boy shrugged dismissively. "Now hurry, it won't take too long for Vaugne and the other guards to know they been had."

"You're a piece of work, you know that?" She asked.

"Runs in the family." Kyle slapped his brother in the arm. "Good luck with the outer guards, they less believin' in us den the inna ones."

I ran up to the Panther girl and gave her a questioning glance "You bet on our freedom? well that was a large bet" i smiled remembering how the panther girl had made sure she would have anyway.

"I designed Kyle and Tyler to be oblivious poker playing idiots. It was no big. 'Sides, they love shiny stuff," Roxie held up her wrist. The bracelet shimmered.

"If we could move? We're gonna have to be hella stealthy to get past the outer guard. Roxie?" Cordelia loked at the panther girl, who focused on te enery signatures outside.

"Twenty guards, five blind spots, one broken place in the fence.... it'll involve some jumping, strength and alot of stealth, but it is so doable," Roxie smiled, shifting muscles until she was more feline than before.

I followed the girl, i sighed "the girl" i didn't know her name but i guess exchanging pleasentriess would have to wait. "I'm Angel" i said again in only her head hoping it would distract her "Don't worry about me i can't read your thoughts i can only speak in your mind, uh do you actully know where to go?"

"Hm. Name's Roxie and yeah, I can sense organisms and landscapes... well, that what I can do so far. Anyway, it's like a blueprint in my head. Just follow me," she ran around a corner and then jumped, grabbing a ceiling light and swinging herself onto a balcony above.

"Wait a minute...Are you telling me that just now you realised that you re not normal?" Cal asked Elle and sneakered. "Man, youre not that bright, are you?"
"If one more person commented about my inteliggence Im gonna rip his head off. And for the record, I was completely normal this morning! By the time I woke up here I sensed that something was off...", Elle said putting her guard up again.
"....I see...", Cal said still not convinced about her story."And why did they took you there?"
"They aked me what is my abnormality...but I couldnt answer them, cause simply I didnt know. So they decided to run some tests on me to find out...", Elle answered
"..And? What did they find out?", He was dying to know.
"That, is personal info.Im not going to tell you." Elle stopped arguing with him as she perked her head up. "Hey, do you listen to that?", she asked him.
"Huh? What?"
"Shhh. Listen...It sounds like many people running...."
"A prison break? Here?"Cal asked. They both stood up from their beds and went to the bars of their cells to watch outside.
