Date Unknown.....

I had one of those "Last Time On..." moments. Trying to figure out how I ended up here. Trapped inside some weird lab, with some sort of nurse-shark hybrid. The images of the Elder stating the existence of the "others" on CNN and MSNBC apparently FOX News din't wanna endorse the existence of non-humans, that sure was a shocker. There I go again with my inability to stop my sarcasm. Images and screams of clairvoyants being burnt at the stake. The screams of the innocent and not so innocent humans dying at the hands of the enraged Were's.

A blow to my stomach brought me back to reality. "What the hell was that for!" I said panting as another blow struck the side of my face. "I'm going to break both of your hands Nurse Sharky once I get out of here." I tried to put as much hate as I could into my words, the fact that I couldn't remember how I had ended up here worried me. It did more than worry me it made me afraid. I had managed to charm the locks open on the shackles that where keeping me defenseless only to find out that I was trapped inside a power circle. Where I was more defenseless, than when I thought that my only problems where a crazy man with bad teeth and my hands tied to a wall.

Being inside a power circle meant most of magic was going to be useless. Any low magic like my little charming the locks trick would work. But nothing that could really get me out of here in one piece. I had to somehow get Sharkboy to break the circle but so far all I had managed to achive was an array of what would end up being colorful bruises, without even getting shark-freak to step one foot inside the circle.

"I can smell you fear, little worm." Sharkman hissed as if tasting the air for something. I assure you it was a lot more disturbing than the most disturbing image your mind would be able to conjure.

"I'm not sure that's fear your smelling. I had beans for lunch." I taunted and pressed me body tightly against the wall. I had to get him to come closer. If I could managed to pull him into the circle I could use him to break it. "So is super smell your shark-evil-villain power? Bad teeth and super smell. I bet you get all the ladies."

Sharkman did not even flinch at any of my comments He just continued to rummage the table. "So really, Sharkboy how you get your teeth? Or even better where you leave Lava Girl? Get it? Gods I crack myself up-oh come on, you aren't gonna ignore me are you? Trying to ignore me is only going to encourage me more. Ok fine, I'll tell you what. Break the circle now and I wont have to break your hands, I'll just rough you up a bit. I mean, really you don't think I'm not going to find a way out of here do-"

"Shut up!" he yelled. His face turned a beat red.

"Oh, oh, shark rage incoming?" I chuckled out still tightly pressed against the wall. If he was going to try and slap me again I was ready for it and after I kicked his ugly ass, I would break the circle using his unconscious body as a giant magic eraser. That must have been his snapping point because he rushed me at a speed I would never associate with someone in a lab coat. It would have startled me if I wasn't used to the unexpected and it turned out that thanks to my weird genes where ever they came from made me faster than Dr. Bad Teeth. I strafed out of his wild blow, grabbed and pulled him into the circle in a blink of an eye. Flashed and Impish smile and whispered full of anticipation "Seams like your in trouble now doc."

Date Unknown...

The man in front of me if i could call it a man. Had shoulder jet black hair, grey eyes and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Yes, they where literally pointed teeth they reminded me of the teeth I has seen on shark's. Gods do I miss the good old days where during June I'd rush home to watch Shark week on the Discovery channel.

My day dreaming was ended by a sharp sting that ran across the right side of my face. "Pay attention worm." hissed shark man.

"I got distracted by your chompers. What your dentist all went extinct or something? Really man, how do you brush those things?"

Shark man slapped me a second time. "Be quite, you worthless worm."

"You know, you need material. I believe that the first rule of being a bad guy is to have funny, witty or degrading things to call their captives other than worms. You know I've been told that wit and sarcasm are part of my many gifts. Want me to help you out?" The shark man slapped me a third time. The ability to stay quite is definitely not one of my gifts at this rate id end up all bruised by the end up whatever it was day or night. "Fine, I get it ill be quite but give me something to call you other than shark man." Another slap, great. I really need to learn how to control my impulses.

"My name is not important, what is important you abomination is that after I get the information I need from you, I will drain you of your magic and kill you."

"None of you can ever resist can you? Always going off about your big bad evil plan." I chuckled out, then thought "crap, here it comes" and not a second to late another slap. Shark man smiled a toothy grin and turned around. He began to walk towards the other side of the room towards along sterile looking table. "Are those your umm," I cleared my throat and in my best "Dr. Frankenstine" voice yelled "experiments." deranged cackle and all.

"Ill enjoy eliminating you. You annoying twit." Shark man spat. As he rummaged thru the contents of the table. I had to do something, I had to start looking for a way out of here. I couldn't sit here and continue taunt shark man.

I was more of a magical magpie picking up shiny bits of magic here and there, learning enough to survive but never enough to be an expert on anything. Figure a jack of all trades would always have a job in dire times. It payed off. I had picked a little trick from a street magician. No, not a David Blaine, hands to fast illusionist. A real street magician. A witch who used the beat and energy of the city to work magic. Remembering the simple spell, I whispered it and charmed the locks open. As I sighed in relief shark man spat "the circle will be harder to charm than the locks, but that does not matter. Actually in a matter of seconds you wont matter. My plan will be flawless. You cannot win."

I sighed over dramatically, "gods really? Don't you know every time an evil nurse or what ever the hell you are says that. A kitten dies. Wait. Is it a kitten or is it the the evil nurse? Gods I can never remember." I flashed shark man an impish smile, hoping that he would fall for plan A, I dint really wanna have to run with Plan B.

Date unknown...

It had been a trap. The humans where waiting for us and we where all capture or worst dead. I had failed to foresee their trap, I had failed everyone. I have no idea why my gift had failed in warning me of this trap or how the humans seamed to know exactly where we would all be and exactly what abilities we all possessed. How they had all been able to see thru the glamour spell. The illusion that the spell bestowed should have fulled the sight of a human if any crossed out path. Not only had the humans seen thru the spell but some showed signs of having strength and speed at almost supernatural levels. I had heard rumors of their experiments and their genetic manipulations, but these humans glowed with magic. I could still hear Adam's voice growling in his impressive snow white wolf form. "The reek of magic Lyceous. Old and dark magic," before he dashed to fight a group of superhumanly fast soldiers who had been flanking Huthesis and Luke. We fought for our lives, the anger of seeing my friends in danger awoke in me a power I had no idea laid withing me. The air around me crackled with intense power, the earth quaked at my feet. I felt as if anything I willed would come to pass. As the strength of my friends began to fail, I willed their strength anew and witness them fight on with new refreshed and stronger wills.

One of the soldiers took careful aim at Huthesis with some device I had never encountered.The thing he was holding shot a long metal chain with a ear piercing cry, bringing Huthesis to her knees. I willed my new found power to protect her and it answered my request. Forming a powerful shield around her of pure energy. Huthesis scanned the battle, in an attempt I assume to find where this magic protecting her came from. I flashed her a smile letting her know that I was the cause. She inturn shook her head violently from side to side as if trying to shake a horrific vision from her sight. She began to yell "No, no, no. This can't be. No, not now." her voice full of panic. My heart shattered, she should have been happy I saved her life, she should have been grateful. My visions started to turn red at the edges with rage. How could she had been so ungrateful, I had saved her life. I had save all of their lives. Then with a loud crack my vision went black and my body crashed against the cold wet floor.

Now I stood shackled to some wall in the human compound asking my self what in hell had happened.

I hear the air lock releasing on the automatic door and the muffled voices of what seamed excited chatter.

"Leave me with him, I'll break him. He will tell me what we need to know." spoke in deep man's voice.

"But sir, I am to document everything." yelped a second man's voice. This voice has higher in pitch and much more nasal than any voice should ever be allowed to be.

"Little Cromius, I have to do this alone. You wouldn't want to make me unhappy would you." responded the first man's voice in a well rehearsed tone.

"No, no sir. As you wish sir." chirped who I assumed was "Little Cromius" followed by the sound of quick agitated foot steps.

"Well, well. A real life Atlantian in our mist. To think that we thought all of you where extinct like the vile vermin you are." spat the deep voice. "Open your eyes and look at your end you worm of vomit."

I opened my eyes but not because he had told me to but because my rebut would have a stronger effect if I stared the man down. "Nice line did you steal it from the dummies guide to being an evil guy? Whats next, you gonna tell me your whole plan for world dominion and then make some lame and elaborate attempt to kill me which I escape?" my voice came out hoarse. Making me wander how much time had I spent unconscious ...

The Human Compound was more impressive than we thought, but we had to continue with the plan we needed to disable this compound.

"Ok, everyone ready? Once Luke sets the camera on the loop, we make our move. Remember we only have thirty minutes." I whispered and gave Luke the signal to begin his spell.

"Lyceous, I figured ill open the doors too." Luke murmured.

"The doors are controlled by a computer?" Adam hissed. "Really these humans are stupider than we thought. Seams like they haven't heared of the technomancers."

"We are a new breed of witches Adam." Luke responded his eyes glowing an eerie electric white. "I also took the liberty to download the maps if you give me a minute I'll sketch them out for you."

"It's still unnerving how Technomancers use those foul machines to fuel their magic. Me I still prefer good old nature. No offense meant Luke."

"None taken Huthesis, but we all can't be talented and powerful elves you know," retorted Luke.

"Flattery will get you almost anywhere Luke. But getting those cameras down and opening that gate will get you even further." Huthesis walked over to where I was standing and under her breath whispered loud enough for only me to hear "What do you foresee Lyceous do we make it out alive?"

I mussed "Looks good Huthesis. Well make it." I took a deep breath and whispered my teeth clenched forcing a smile. "If I don't make it Huthesis get Luke out of here, make sure he makes it back."

"Lyceous?" gasped Huthesis.

"Just promised me. Ok?" I demanded. My gift of "sight" allowed me to foresee what possibilities the future held and many of those possibilities of everyone making it out of the compound alive where very slim. Luke's abilities where very important if we where to have a chance against the humans and their machines. A technomancer could as Luke was trying to accomplish shut down a whole compound with just a fragment of their magic.

Huthesis nodded. "I promise."

"Done! cameras down, doors open." Luke said quickly sketching a rough map of the compound on the mud. "The runes are here Adam. This is where the living quaters are if you need to get closer to the humans Teressa and Elonar. Lyceous, the captured "others" are in this room and their main computer is here, me and Huthesis will make our way to it its protected by cloaking magic I cant access it from a distance."

"Cloaking magic?" I mussed. "But-"

"They Must have gotten one of the "others" to do it. We need to get them out of there." Adam growled his breaths coming fast and shallow. He was beginning to transform.

"Let's move guys" I said running into the human compound. Hoping that one of the better outcomes I had foreseen would come to pass.

June 5th 2013, 12:01pm

The air around me crackled softly with power. "Lyceous, as soon as the spell is finished we need to move. I can only keep all us veiled for a few minutes. With all this sludge around." spoke a musical voice. i noded.

"Ok, everyone ready? Once inside, Elonar and Terresa, you guys cast a slumber spell and make sure everyone stays a sleep."

"Hey, don't they have anti-magic runes?" yelped Terresa.

"Leave those to me" snapped Adam in more of a growl than actual words.

"And how are you going to accomplish that?" Elonar's carried so much disbelief that I could almost touch it.

"No way that concerns you." Adam inhaled deeply "With pack magic, but if I told you anymore I would have to rip your pretty little head off your shoulders.

The soft hum off power changed into a violent crackling. "An you would die before you raised a paw, dog." shouted Terresa, her eyes glowing white with power.

"Try it witch," Adam growled as his body began to spasm violently.

"You clearly are as stupid as you look. Now feel the pain of the lives you have taken. Both human and animal." Teressa boomed her voice full of power. Adam bent with pain obeying Teressa's command.

"Teressa stop this now!" I shouted pushing power into my command. Teressa stumbled back and the power around her diminished. "Adam, you ok?"

"Fine," he growled his hoarse.

"That's what you get for messing with the twins." whispered Huthesis her musical voice already working her healing magic. She placed a glowing had on Adam. "Now, don't you go looking for trouble again. I need to conserve as much power as i can. I have to work twice as hard in this pollution."

"What the hell was that?" Adam snarled.

Teressa flashed an impish smile "Just a taste of what we can do." Adam nodded, that was the closes to a "great job" the twins where going to get from the werewolf.

"Lyceous, we are ready. The spell is finish. We have ten minutes before it fades, damn pollution."

"Thanks Asileana, plenty of time. Go back to camp let them know we are on the move." The pixie nodded and flew in the direction of our camp. Her wings glowing yellow with excitement. "Ok crew lets move, once at the doors I'll bring them down. Adam will go in and disable the runes. Twins you know what to do. Casey, it will be your job to disable the alarms and once inside get to machines to stop working. I'll help as much as I can, but technomancy is not a magic I learn much of."

Everyone nodded and we all sprinted towards the human compound to permanently disable all the machines, and rescue some of the "others" that had been captured. Hopefully we could avoid any deaths.
