Flashback

Nobody's POV

Lio had just finished up mixing a concoction, it included DNA of a mega jaguar left over from the injection he gave Kipo, a deer, and a dragon-like creature, along with an odd mixture from space. He had found the odd mixture from a recent shooting star that had hit the ground. It wasn't big enough to destroy the burrow but he definitely heard it hit. After investigating, he brought some the rock back to the burrow to do experiments with. He didn't plan to do much with this 'drink' he had made. Maybe experiment on himself? Who knows.

Lio set the beacon on the counter before going to Kipo's room to tell her that he was going out for a little and that he'd be back soon. Y/n had also been in Kipo's room since they were having one of their sleepovers again. Y/n's parents didn't care much about Y/n going over there all the time, in fact, they didn't care much about her at all. After talking to Kipo, Lio left their home and headed off to do some errands.

"Kipo you said you left the juice on the counter, right?" Y/n asked her best friend.

"Yeah! It should be the yellow one, since you wanted lemonade." Kipo answered.

"Okay!"

Y/n went into the kitchen and saw a yellow liquid on the counter. It looked like the lemonade Kipo told her about. She was suspicious of it since it was in an oddly shaped glass but being the naive little kid Y/n was, she took it and drank it. It tasted bitter and cinnamon-like. "Well that tasted weird, then again i've never had lemonade before so" She thought.

Y/n then went back to Kipo's room.

"So did you have your drink? How was it?!" Kipo asked, she was excited since lemonade was new to her friend, afterall, Y/n's parents didn't give Y/n anything too special.

"It was okay, i like bitter things so it wasn't too bad." Her friend answered.

"That's good! Maybe I could give you some to take home?" She asked.

"I don't think my parents would like that.." Y/n said, looking down sadly.

"Oh.. Why?"

"They kinda don't give me a choice in anything really, like i can't choose what i wanna wear, what i want to eat, or what i want to do. They control me, in a way. Though i don't wanna say bad things about them..  Anyways, bringing something home would probably upset them since i made that choice myself." Y/n said, speaking as if she did something wrong.

"Well that's no fair! You should stand up to them and tell them that you wanna choice stuff, at least, that's something my dad would say." Her friend said, trying to help.

"The last time i did that, they yelled at me. I don't really like getting yelled at either.. It's like i have to be little miss perfect all the time, do whatever they tell me to do,  follow their stupid rules, do good in school, i hate it! I just don't know what to do anymore..." Y/n broke out, tears spilling from her eyes. She was only 7.

End of flashback

Y/n's POV

How long has it been? At least since being captured by Dr. Emilia. I just spend my days, trapped inside of my own mind, or at least Solaxy's mind. I've thought about my childhood, my adventures with Kipo, and even my trauma that's resurfaced. It's not all bad, though. I have time to reflect and think about the past. As much as I miss Kipo and my friends, I can't do anything about it. Sometimes, when Dr. Emilia is done with my mute form from missions, she turns me back into a human. I spend my days in that same glass box i was captured in when that happens. I would escape but, whatever missions she puts me through always make me too weak to turn into Solaxy.
