Our Plagued Reality: Us and Them

[Yugian]

"We have just aquired the infamous 'Needles' Entaru, Captain Yurian will inform the rest of the captains and higher ups about when he first encountered the Advisor; t-that was all I knew, they're too busy keeping him alive for interrogation to discuss more... sorry sir!"

Capt.Jonnas A.Romero Shepard(Active Liberation/Uninjured)
"At ease Private, This isnt on record if your worried im inspecting you on such... Still, we finally tagged that bastard huh? its about time... and thats alright. its plenty enough for me. you can get back to work now private. Keep up the work." He gave him a casual salute, and walked off... 'needles' huh? he had to congratulate Yurian next time he saw him... he brought in a major target! plenty of respect for him right there! though... he was also going to ask if he could interrogate the man. he did need to get an answer though for a question that had been haunting his dreams as of late... who specifically. not a nation, for you blame everyone for something they didnt do. not the pilot, who just did his job. Not the scientists, who intended science for the beatification of earth. no, he wondered who gave the okay to drop a nuke and killed 250+k people by leaning back in his chair... coward.

[Entaru]

Entaru found himself standing in a vineyard.  His uniform was gone, replaced with jeans and a light blue t-shirt.  He was holding a basket filled with grapes as he stared across his new crop and at his house.  His wife was calling in him and the children for supper.  He felt a tug at his pant leg and looked down.  Standing there was a little white fox girl in a yellow dress.  Her black hair was short and bobbed, and waved slightly whenever a breeze came through the vineyard.  Her bright green eyes sparkled in the sunlight as she smiled at him.

"Can we pick more after supper, Daddy?"  Her puffy white tail flicked about happily. "I want to pick all of the grapes today."

Entaru laughed and smiled.  They had only picked a quarter of the total crop in the last week, with help.  "We'll see, honey."  Another call came from the house.  "Go on and wash up, Sonya.  Tell Mommy that I'll be in when I finish this vine."  Entaru nudged the girl towards the house.

"Kay!"  The little girl ran back to the house giggling.  Entaru shook his head and turned back to the vine and began picking again.  Just as he was about to pick the last grape, he heard something.  Entaru looked around as the sound got louder and louder.  Soon he realized the sound was coming from above.  He looked to the sky and saw a massive plane flying overhead.  What in Hell?...

Suddenly he saw an insignia adorning the side of the plane and he froze in horror.  The plane was from the Liberation...and it was a bomber.  Entaru dropped the basket of grapes and broke into a sprint towards the house.  "KATIE!  GET EVERYONE TO THE BASEMENT!  HURRY!"  Entaru all but screamed as he ran to the house....

...too late...

The bomb slammed into his house with pinpoint accuracy.  Entaru was thrown from his feet and into the vineyard and fell unconcious.

When Entaru awoke, he was in a cold room attached to various machines.  He couldn't feel his legs.  He tried to move but his arms were strapped to the table.  He looked around the room quickly before realizing where he was.  This was a Liberation base...and he was the prisoner for once.

The interrogator noticed Entaru had awoken, and signaled the medics to add in the tranquilizer (It starts off small so he won't fall back asleep). "Care to explain why Yurian had found you and the girl in a crevice inside you're own Nazi base?" Chemicals with coded labels were being brought into the medical room. Nobody but the interrogation officers and the doctors themselves knew what they contained, but that entire shelf was ment for the use of interrogating one Nazi.

Sighing, Moon allowed her body to strain against her binds, finding leaning forward to be much more comfortable than leaning backward...."What are you talking about? I would never try to hurt someone like that, not without a reason," she cried softly. She was, even without the help of Luna, about to reach her own personal breaking point. The girl hadn't eaten anything but a small helping of candy and a chunk of bread for the past three days. Her throat was dry and parched, her legs aching from so much forceful running . She had started to care for a Nazi who, in all reality, she should have tried to break away from in the first place. She had no idea where Atreyu was, or what was happening to him.....And the way this conversation was going it seemed like an interrogation, which she was all too familiar with. If Yurian managed to get it out of her just what she was....then who knew what this enemy power would do to her.

Thinking about her past didn't help her feel any better.

Right now, Moon's life plain sucked.

"Look, I just want to be let go, okay?" Moon pleaded. "That's all I want. Just to be left alone. I don't want to be with anybody but Atreyu....can't anyone see that? I just wanna be normal." As she said this, her head sunk even lower and her shoulders heaved as she started to cry again.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurian sighed and went to his fridge, which he rarely used since he always rented his room out to someone else during long missions. He noticed they restocked it with some  sodas and a few juice drinks. He grabbed one of the juices, and then grabbed a container of 'Mac&Cheeze', taking it to a microwave and putting it in for fifty seconds as he got a small glass and filled it with the juice. He presented it to Moon and tried to not look in her eyes, because he knew he failed as a boyfriend, let alone a father-figure. "I don't know if they fed you or not, but you seem a bit thirsty. As for the chair, I'll untie you as long as you don't look under the bed. Its filled with all of the mirrors in this room, and I don't want someone screaming inside the base. Especially a ten year old who apparently can't remeber a helicopter trip." at the end of his statement the microwave rang and he went to get the food, putting it on a low-rise table and moving her chair in front of it and then put a plastic spoon on the side along with the glass of juice on the other side.

He untied her and then went to get some food for himself. "I would have given you a bigger meal, but with things the way they are, we're lucky to get a chicken that isn't growing three extra drumsticks."

[x]

Moon's eyes widened at the (in her ideals) amazing-looking meal. She'd never had a real meal before...."This...this is really for me?" she asked in disbelief, not knowing that Mac&Cheeze and juice was quite common outside of Nazi laboratories. "But...I don't want to put you out...you don't have to do this for me....." she blushed, looking down....

God, it smelled so freaking good.....

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurian joined her at the table with a bag of boneless fried chicken he heated up and the rest of the juice he had not given Moon. "To be honest, I'm not authorized to let you leave to find this 'Atryeu', and you're not putting me out, I usually don't sleep here. Sniper's don't get the luxury of returning to base if their target is still alive. So usually this room is rented to someone else; go ahead, you're allowed to eat... I got two more of those if you're still hungry."

[x]

Moon felt happiness flow through her viens like soap bubbles would flow through the sky, and she quickly dug in at being given permission. She didn't feel her heart sink at the news she wouldn't be allowed to leave.....she knew they wouldn't let her in the first place. That's how it had been with everyone since she the day she was born. No open doors whatsoever. By stuffing her face like a ravenous hyena, she managed to finish it all in about one minute, letting out a pleased: "MMMM..." as she blushed even more and closed her eyes, dreaming of the newfound taste of cheese....as she drifted, she accidentally let something slip out: "Back in Germany, in that lab, they'd just give me a peice of bread and some water once a day. If that often. Knew that I wouldn't...."

Then she rapidly straightened herself, her hands flying to her tiny muzzle. "Oh! I mean....what I meant to say was...." she swallowed, trying to think of something.

((She has a tendancy to blow it, doesn't she... ))

[Chrono Blackwyng]

((Yea, but that makes it funny ))

Yurian stopped eating and put the chicken on the table as a grin came across his face. "Just so you know, I'm only in the Liberation because of the tracking device and the nuke. I know for a fact you didn't fire a nuke since you would still be at Germany with Hilter the III. But, this does explain why that Nazi had such an interest in you. Now, we could act like this never happened and eat in silence, or you could give me a recount of what happened." He was honest about his resons for staying in the Liberation, since he was kind-of treated as a monster due to his past performances. "You know, you look kind-of cute in a kiddy way when you tried to make something up..." he said with a grin as she was still fumbling for words.

[x]

Moon wiped away the few remaining tears on her face. She had gone from wanting to cry to wanting to smile in a matter of moments.

"You know...I'd like to thank you," she said. "No adult's ever treated me nice like this before...except maybe Entaru." Then she looked up at him, considering what he'd said. "I have no qualms with telling you about myself and what I know, not that I know much, but that is...if you want to know about all that."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurian popped in two pieces of chicken while thinking it over. "Hmm... as long as there isn't romance between you and someone else involved, I think I could handle it. I'm a 'recovering' cannibal after all..." He went over to the door and locked it, stuffing blankets into the cracks and then getting his helmet and hanging it on the knob to act as a warning if someone is trying to listen at the door or try to get in. "Ready when you are..."

[x]

Giggling, Moon shook her head. "No...I don't think there will be any romance." Inside, the pomeranian child found herself incredibly nervous (who wouldn't be, seriously...)to be sitting across from a cannibal, after all, with her regenerative power, she could very well be a never-ending snack for him if he wanted......He did say he was recovering....and maybe he had been joking anyway.........Taking in a breath, she made herself more comfy in the chair, or tried to, before resting her head in her palms and her elbows on the table. This was going to take awhile.

"This is going to take awhile," Moon repeated her own thought to him. "So get comfy...................Well, I guess it started when I was taken from the hospital as a baby. From what I heard, things were really great in Germany back then. Everyone was really happy, for living under Hitler, of course. Since everyone was so happy, Hitler decided it was the perfect time to try and excel his scientific parameters. He tried cloning, tried building any number of new weapons......and these new weapons he wanted to build weren't mechanical. They were....real people. I, and Atreyu, were two of those real people. They took us as babies, without any question, away to a lab in Berlin, and from there started drug testing day after day. When something wouldn't work, they'd just develop something else and try that.....When I was four, Hitler decided to just give it up. None of the drugs that he'd tried had worked in granting us subjects power. So they shuffled us all into what they call a 'shower...'

The 'shower' turned out to really be a giant oven where they planned on burning us away into nothing.

Only Atreyu and I....

We burned. But we didn't die. We healed. Slowly, even as hours passed, and when they opened up the shower, there we were, not dead. Lord knew Hitler got excited and thrilled and quickly set us up for a few more years of horror.

...Just a few weeks ago, the scientists who 'own' us decided to take us here to test radation and new surroundings on us. But we ran away...and that soon led to my being here right now." Moon tried her best to give Yurian a serious look, so maybe he'd beleive her better. "Basically, Atreyu--- he's eleven, I call him my big brother ---and I, we're invincible. Nothing that's been tried on us has ever succeeded in killing us. Give us poison, and our body swallows it. Shoot us and the bullet gets eaten up. Chop us up and our limbs will grow back." The girl said these things from unfortunate painful experience. "But anyway, I don't know much about what Hitler's planning right now, so I'm no good for secret intelligence or anything. Just....I'd be careful around the Reich. They can and will try anything to get what they want. I'm proof."

______________


Back at the oh-so-wonderful Nazi base, Burgandy answered Phil with: "Well, I was in my room....can't tell it apart from all the other rubble now." He proceeded to make his way out of the building and into the early morning air, danked slightly by smoke and dust. So much time, so many things, so quickly too...."But I'm serious. If you don't know where that kid is, then we'd better start looking. She's Fuhrer-class material and I really don't want my head on a platter if you don't mind."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurian nodded with unusual calmness at her account. "You have no idea how many people would kill to have your abilities... maybe if Liberation can get to Germany in time, we could find out what combination made these abilities, and then give amputee's their limbs back. But, I'm just getting ahead of myself... as for the cannibal issue from earlier, I'm fine as long as I don't taste humanoid blood or get really hungry. So wait, what if you were lit on fire, would your ashes regenerate?" He was actually interested in the idea of regeneration, mostly because he wanted to give back to the soldiers who he had 'accidentally' ripped apart trying to get something to eat. "Chemicals I can understand that you could regenerate, but combustion should be turning your body to CO2 and carbon-ash, so the issue of combustion on regeneration interests me."

[x]

Moon shook her head. "Our bodies wouldn't allow that. They'd stop it long before we made it to being ashes....From what the scientists told me, it's even rather....special with large things like atomic bombs and CO2. They tried a powerful CO2 on us, like a nuke. We blacked out, but they said it didn't even touch us......they said there was a flash, then they looked....and we didn't even have a scratch." She gave Yurian a sympathetic look, knowing that he probably didn't understand how she could get shot and bleed but have an atomic bomb not even touch her. "I don't get it either.....It's strange. And the scientists....the ones who made us what we are.....they don't even know what drugs had been the right combination to create us, though they're no doubt still looking. There were so many...that it could have been any of them. That's one of the reasons I bet they need us back so bad. They need to find it...." The girl figeted with her fingers, glancing about the room and soaking it all up, anxious but not as scared. "My name's Mondenkind.....or...Moonchild, I guess...." she said, but before asking him his own name continued. ".......Entaru........You're not gonna hurt him, are you?....."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Yurian felt a pang of guilt as he realized that after mentioning his name several times, she obviously wanted the Nazi alive. "I'm not going to hurt him, but I can't guarentee that he will be unharmed during interrogation. Um, Mod-, can I just call you Moon; Moonchild seems to beanik." He fished a couple pieces of chicken and put it right on top of her Mac&Cheeze. "Forgot, you need some meat along with the dairy and grain... sadly, we're on short supply of greens since our farming land is now irradiated."
