The workers obeyed the woman and put Sora in the laboratory. Sora was still out cold until the people put him against a table putting more restrain on him. Sora's eyes shot open as he felt the restrains being put on, he got the strength to rip them off. One of the lab-coat wearing people ran out yelling some words Sora did not understand and ran back in pointing at Sora. It was the woman again she walked in her wings fully out and some more lab-coat wearing people walked in, with scarier looking masks. They grabbed Sora as the woman stood there watching from afar, and threw Sora into a cage.

"Who are you??" Sora asked grabbing the bars looking at the stylish woman. The woman smirked lighting a cigarette.

"Why were you at my father's abandoned circus??" she asked blowing smoke in his face. Sora's eyes widened in shock then blazed with sudden anger.

"Your father killed my best friend!!" he screamed rattling the bars. The woman's smiled wider, her cigarette in mouth and clapped her hands.

"I know. I enjoyed watching you suffer." she said her fangs glistening in the light. She blew out more smoke. "Nice talking with you."

The woman stepped out then turned slightly looking at Sora.

"Oh, I'm Lykos."

Then she was out. Lykos' workers threw a cage in the laboratory closing the door behind them. Sora sighed laying down on the hard cold metal floor of his own cage closing his eyes. Tch. Tch. Tch. Sora opened his eyes looking around in the dark room. 'It must be that cage the people put in here.' Sora thought. Then the sound of chains being dragged along the floor was being heard. Sora grabbed the bars looking around in the extremely dark room listening to the dragging of the chains.

"Beware the beast~" someone whispered as the chains were being dragged. "Beware the beast~ For she is absolutely absurd~"

Sora turned his head to the side confused.

"Wh-Who's absurd?" he asked the stranger of the dark. The chain sound stopped.

"Who is there?? Not showing their true identity but yet questions another?" the voice replied as the chain sound began up again. The chain sound got closer and Sora saw two glowing red orbs. "The name's Nikias."

"Ni...ki...as..." Sora sounded out.

"Mhm, now put the name together."

"Nikias."

"There ya go, you learned my name. Now stranger, what did you do to make the foul beast show her true colors??" Nikias asked Sora staring into his cage. Sora stared into the red orbs he saw knowing they're Nikias' eyes. Sora sighed playing along with Nikias' game.

"It is but only a long tale to tell. It brings me heartbreak that, that 'foul beast' is the daughter of this deranged creature called a man. Oh, why must my eyes suffer from the sights?! Why must my ears hear the tear worthy screams?? Why, oh, why must my brain replay the horrific scene over and over like a film of horrors??" Sora said raising his fist in the air staring at the top of his cage.

"Damn, that's a lot. I'm sorry for your loss, man. But I'm the only one who's suppose to talk like that, got it?" Nikias told Sora.

"Mhm." Sora replied sitting back in the cage hugging himself.

"Alrighty, I shall come up with a devious plan to get us out. You alright with that Sora?" Nikias asked. Sora nodded then froze.

"Wait, how do you know my name?!"
