"Take
that, fiend!"
"Genis, be careful! He almost cut your hand
off!"
"Lloyd, I'm fine, quit talking and fight!
Genis
and Lloyd were fighting, as usual, with enemies. These weren't just
any enemies, though. These were a pair of mysterious humans, but
with claw-like spikes growing out of their wrists.
"Who ARE
these people!" asked Lloyd.
"The only way to find that out
is to come with us to our base!" said the male human.
"No
way!" said Genis
"What are you, scared?" asked the female
human.
"Don't make us kill you!" said Lloyd.
"Like
you could. We own a bigger arsenal of weapons than you could ever
dream of" said the male.
"Fine, we'll go to your base and
kill you there." said Lloyd.
"Let us go,
then."

"Wow,
what is this place?" said Genis.
"This is a development and
testing plant for some of the most demonic weapons and armor in the
world." said the man.
"Wow… This place is huge!" said
Lloyd.
"Well, it has to be. We make the weapons and armor in
the forging room, we keep all the weapons and armor that we haven't
tested yet in the armory, and we have an individual room for each
weapon of piece of armor. Any questions?"
"Yeah. This
reminds me of Czerca cor---"
"SSH! We'll get sued! There
shall be no mention of that in here!"
"Well, anyway, who
would like to see some of the equipment being tested in here?"
said the woman.
"OOH! ME! Please pick me, lady! Please pick
me!" said Lloyd.
"Why don't we just take both of you?"
said the man.
"This is going to be so cool, Lloyd!" said
Genis.
"The first weapon you will see, if you turn to your
right, is the Tri-Blade Flame Dragon. Cool, huh?" said the
woman.
"What the Hell? You're torturing him! Let him go!"
said Lloyd.
"No. He is a test subject. We must use him to see
how powerful the blade is. Once we are finished testing with this
weapon, we will use his soul to make another weapon stronger or some
armor tougher." said the man.
"Déjà vu…"
said Genis.
"What is this, an Exsphere manufacturing plant?" said
Lloyd.
"Uh… No, this is not. I don't even know what an
Exsphere is!" said the woman.
"Whatever. Let's get out of
here, Lloyd." said Genis.
"You're not going anywhere."
said the man.
"What the Hell? Let us go!" said Lloyd
"No.
You two are to become test subjects. Pronyma, decide what weapons or
armor these two will be assigned to."
\What the Hell? Pronyma!
She was one of the five Grand Cardinals, but she's dead! How is
that possible/
"Let's see… Yes… the older boy shall test
the Dragon Scale armor, and the younger boy shall test the Death
Shadow Dagger."
"Um… Might I ask how exactly we're
supposed to test this equipment?" Genis asked, quivering.
"Well,
for the weapons, our professional fighters use the weapon on the
'tester' to see what is needed to do a certain amount of damage.
And for the armor, our pros use basic weapons on the 'tester'
while he or she is wearing the armor, to see how much damage can be
done to it." said the man, grinning evilly.
"Now follow us to
your testing rooms. Quickly."
"Lloyd, there's no way out of
this, is there?" Genis said, almost too scared to talk.
"Not
right now, there isn't, but I'll think of something, Genis."
Lloyd said.
"And don't try any sneaking out, or anything like
that. There are alarms
everywhere, and if we see you trying to
escape we'll shoot you with some of the most deadly weapons made at
this plant. Watch."
Genis and Lloyd watched as the man fired
what he called a 'gun' at the wall, and the instant he pulled the
trigger, they say a smoldering circle burned through the wall.
While
they were walking, Lloyd noticed dozens of humans being tested on
with weapons, and in a couple rooms, Lloyd saw what appeared to be
the professional fighters taking the souls of the dead
humans.
\Disgusting./ he thought.
"Here we are. Room one
eighty-six. The Dragon Scale armor room."
Now Lloyd, too, began
to feel scared.
"I hope I see you later, Genis." He said.
"I
hope so, too. Bye." Genis said.
"Keep walking, boy! You're
room is just ahead." said the woman.
"Fine, whatever." Said
Genis.
"Here's you're room. It'll be you're home until
you die. Have fun." said the man.
"I sure wish Raine was here,
so she could get me and Lloyd out of here." he whispered as he
walked into the dark, evil-looking room.
"What are you waiting
for? Let's get started." said a man whose voice was coming from a
robe sitting on a little mat in the corner of the room.
"Go
ahead. Do what you wish. There's no way I'll get out of here
now." said Genis.
"You know, I wouldn't mind breaking out of
here myself. I've been stuck killing people here for ten years now.
If you wanted to, you could help me break out." the man said.
"I'll
do it, but how will we pull it off?"
"Right underneath us is
where they keep the bombs. We can just set one to go off, then get
out of here."
"Yeah, sound's cool, but I have a friend in
here, also. How will we get him out?
"We can just stop by his
room on the way out. Later I will tell you the plan, and tomorrow we
can get out, as long as everything is exactly as we need
it."
"Alright."
