Zentyu looked back at her as he heard her yell dogs. He turned, but it did no good it wasn't as if he could see through the dark. Sonny got a little scared, but he could see in the dark. He knew his big sisters, and his big brother needed there help. Maybe even Ryan did too. He moved away from Momo His soft fluffy tail was all bushy due to the fear that ran through him. He gently took a hold of Mo, and Zentyu's hand. "Ok big sister." He began to pull the other two through the dark pipes. Zentyu could barely make out yells, and wines from behind them. He wondered if the other two would be ok.

Sonny ran as fast as his legs would carry him trying to hold back tears from the fear that gripped his heart. Not only was the foul stench of death all around them, and bodies flooding the floor, but to a small child who could smell the stench five times as much, and see the many skeletons around this was a hell.

However he kept telling himself to be brave he had to be. His brother, and sisters saved him from being alone, and even saved his life for them he would brave anything.

Zentyu kept his hand on the hilt of the sword. The electricity in the air was a little scary even to him.

Sonny after quite a bit of running saw a powerful burst of eerie light. He began to slow down, but kept moving until they reached the room so close to the light Zentyu could see. He touched the wall by accident a bright red light flashed he'd set his hand on some kind of sensor. "Welcome Doctor Xerisyu Project Mariel is up, and operational."

Zentyu wasn't really sure what to do the crack of white light flooded the floor as a massive door opened up. He walked in tubes lit with bright white liquid. They were empty. Zentyu gulped, and Sonny clung to Momo.

Ryan looked at all this commotion about the dogs, She was truly afraid of them but why? Ryan nodded shortly as he charged right behind Mariel she taking the first couple out Ryan was making sure none got through or for that make got to Mariel for her backside. Seeing one squeeze past Mariel Ryan quickly kicked upright slamming the dog's skull up against the pipes but as soon as the dog impacted with the pipes another one was right there for Ryan to fight, One right after the other Ryan's only problem was the only weapon he had to fight close combat was his sword but in a tight place such as this he couldn't pull it out. But in no way was he not doing his part his fist and feet were also lethal but not as quick as Mariel's claws. Ryan fought along side Mariel keeping the dogs from getting past as his attention turned to one in the corner of his eye a dog shot from them and past them to the others. Quickly acting he grabbed the dogs tail sliding across the pipes ground he quickly turned himself and his feet caught a ridge in the pipes stopping him and the dog then quickly stomping the dogs face in. Turning around he was Mariel getting over ran by the packs coming thru Ryan quickly pulling his pistols from the holester he yelled to her. "JUMP BACK!" Ryan pulled the shots off hitting each dog with a bullet. Grazing past Mariel missing her by shear inches nailing each dog in the skull before meeting back to Mariel. Helping her up from the ground he looked to her before firing some more shots and the next wave. "Mariel make sure they are ok! They need our help and you know this place better than I do." he stated dropping a clip then shoving another one into each gun firing shots off keeping them off of them. "GO NOW!" Ryan stated firing each shot with persistent accuracy.

As they walked through the tunnel each sound they heard Zentyu was able to rationalize. It was fine hear, but it took a bit of fun out of halloween, and christmas when he was little. His eye's in this dark tunnel had long since been useless It was barely enough light to see his hand in front of his face. So he'd closed them to try to focus on his hearing.

Seeing a fellow scientist suprisedley didn't strike Zentyu as sorrowful or sad in any way. He instead found himself thinking to play god you are lucky your are blessed with a sweet release of death instead of living in the hell you helped create. Surprised by his own semi-depraved thought he shook his head, and again closed his eye's.

Sonny was steadily clinging to Momo. He while still clining to her reached forward, and with his free hand tugged on the back of Zentyu's shirt. "Brother...i think...i think the jerk is an ok person." Zentyu couldn't help, but snicker. "Yes, Sonny he is an ok person." Sonny turned around, and Zentyu thought that was all, but sonny turned to look at Ryan he could see fine in the dark. "Hey jerk you are an ok person with me." Sonny said.

Zentyu couldn't help, but let out a soft laugh. "Sonny you must be quiet." Zentyu said shushing him, "And..." He whispered close, and low knowing Sonny could pick up very soft sounds but more importantly so could Ryan. "He is not always a jerk." Sonny nodded with a smile, and turned to Momo. "The jerk...i mean Ryan is an ok person with you too right big sister?"

Ryan watching he looked to Mariel showing a tunnel with her taking the lead he stand in the back watching around them the smell of the place didn't bother him and how dark and damp it was didn't seem to phase him stepping lightly his eyes scanned behind them and in front being able to see as if it was nothing. Placing his hand on Momo and Sonny he motioned for them to keep up before slowing his pace. Ryan wasn't having a good feeling and it seem to get worse and worse as the further they went in. Still in eye viewing of the group he kept his pace before stopping moments after hearing something behind them Ryan's gaze quickly shot around looking. "Could it be...." he started to think before hearing Mariel's words. Turning back around he headed back up with the group, looking to Mariel she seemed to be fine, which made Ryan think it was just him. Soon they were off again and Ryan behind the group his hands on his weapons and ready for anything to happen.

"May we speed it up abit..." he asked before walking again. This place was irritating him more than anything, The fact that the one guy would be hear and Ryan seemed to be outmatched for him. Next time Ryan was sure he was going to win. His ear twitching he quickly turned around to look at what seemed to be nothing. "God damnit..." he whispered getting aggravated by the noise that was following him.

OOC: (lol I'll take it you meant Zentyu)

Once they were all safely in the car Zentyu took off across the baren plain. He sighed. Though he knew without a doubt based on the journal enteries he had read his father was responsible for this. He also knew it was to protect his life. He didn't understand why he'd conditioned Mariel to protect him though. Was it for a reason maybe in truth...Maybe in truth his father had faith that Zentyu could stop it somehow maybe even reverse it, but he had left him an incomplete sample in Mariel, a world of subjects to test on, and a journal. However if everything was operational in the lab at least for the most part he would be able to access all the info needed. He might even be able to help Mariel. He still hadn't told her what he'd found out back in the other lab about her Dna. Mainly because he was unsure how to tell her.

He drove into the swamp as far as he could. Looks like we are walking from here. He could almost smell the virus in the air. He was confident in both Ryans, and Mariels ability to protect them, and though in the end he was just human if he really concentrated he was sure he could at least take down ten. Considered to what Ryan, and Mariel could do that was really nothing, but he could protect Sonny, and Momo, and if somehow something got past him. Sonny was part an animal he would instictively protect Momo, and he should be able to fend off one or two.

As they stepped into the doorway. A familiar scent caught Zentyu's nose. It was strange he could only vaguely remember it. He wondered was it possible he'd been here before... He remained cautious as he followed the two. He kept his ears peeled even realizing Mariel, and Ryan would most likely hear alot sooner than he would.

Sonny held onto Momo for dear life feeling safe in her arms. "Big sister...will we be ok...?" He questioned looking up to her with his big soulful eyes.

Ryan opened the back hatch before stepping out looking around seeing the base across the swamp he looked to Mariel as she spoke hearing her words he walked over beside her scanning the area, looked as if it was a dead zone but then again the way everything blew it felt like the worst place to be, "You sure this was a good idea?" Ryan questioned before looking into her eyes. Seeing she was sure of this place Ryan nodded looking back at the car seeing the three. "How are we doing this, crossing through the swamp would make a deadly trap for us ..." he started softly to himself looking around before crouching down and picking some dirt up, It felt so mushy and irregular as he let it slide through his hands. Before standing back up and looking back at Mariel, "What is it you want to do?" he asked in confusion , they could both fight but then what about the other 3. He could take them behind Mariel keeping them safe or another way around. He was completely stumped, getting in looked hard, then fighting inside looked worst for them. Ryan wasn't like the way everything was looking but for some reason Mariel wanted to be here, and something about her just made him want to agree but then disagree as well. Keeping his mouth shut he waited for her response not to mention Zero's and the other two.

(( just making a post to make one give alittle more room for more posts. Idk lol ))

Ryan listened as he heard everything going on his eyes were closed as the pain from his shoulder began to pounded, usually after getting bitten or hit from one usually meant transforming into one of those creatures but Ryan again was different his body fought the virus and then bonded with it at the same time. Meaning what hurt him usually made him stronger hearing footsteps he stood up from the door and stepped forward as Mariel was right on the dot opening the door. Ryan soon turned around looking at her with a faint smile holding his shoulder. Walking out the door he followed then something started to bug him more and more with each step something about going to the base where it was all started made him at ease then again one name kept ringing through his head...Leiram... Something about him got under Ryan's skin and soon they were to the vehicle. Ryan once more was shut off from everyone, not saying a word he took a seat in the very back while everyone else piled towards the front. Ryan not even paying attention to who was driving he looked out the window seeing the world destroyed and in rubble. Then his face appeared in the reflection of the window, half his face covered in darkness he bowed his head. What was he now? Sighing he closed his eyes before drifting off into a small light sleep. Soon waking up to a bump he turned to look at where they were surely he couldn't have slept that long he thought to himself before stretching and getting ready for the fight to make it into the building.

Ugh...lets give him few more days and if he doesn't respond then we can decide if we want to continue. We'll just have to kill his character off if we want to continue.
