Reika had returned after she had her break but strangely though she showed us that she found what appears to be a chemical vial, I wasn't sure how she was able to receive it but I knew it had words on it. C.L.I. It must be where the chemical came from!
"This must be coming from the company," I said to my friends. "But the chemical. I think it must be a mind serum."
"What do you mean?" Manako asked.
"I think this is why those brainwashed Yokai act strangely because Shadowside injected the chemical inside."
One thing for sure. Shira told us that we had to stop her and fast.
Arriving a few hours later, we had finally reached the building at last. I did recall that Rin told us that Shadowside's soldiers work here. It even had C.L.I in black letters. Can't go inside because of all the guards so we had to head to the rooftop and through the vent. Shira began to use her grappling hook and we began to climb to the top where the guards weren't looking.
We started to open up the vent shaft and then we sweezed our way inside, not to make any sudden noise. It really spoiled my clothes and the dust made me sneeze.
Everything inside the building is dull pink with lights flooding the area. Looks empty here. Shira began to lead us around the corridors and sneak past the mutant guards. Arriving at the office, we looked around until I managed to find a C.L.I guard. We suddenly heard someone and we hid behind the machine equipment. We looked over to see there was a woman with blue hair and a business suit and with her are two mutant soldiers. I think this was Cynthia Shadowside. The moment we waited to remain quiet, the woman and mutants disappeared into the moving shaft.
"That was close," Rin sighed in relief. "Let's go check out where she is keeping."
We quickly began to head to the elevator shaft and swiping the card on the panel, the level takes us to the lab level. I was a little scared to go see what was beyond the doors but we had to be sure.
Upon entering, we were astonished to see what was being the lab, the floor underneath is pale blue and the light above us is glowing dull red. We started to look around to see there were so many. Failed experiments stacked on shelves which I don't even know what kind of monstrous that Shadowside made. There are machines, equipment, even that one machine that I do know what it was.
"What was this machine?" Shira wondered. I took a closer look. The machine is hooked up to tubes and wires that lead up and to a vat with multiple canisters scattered around. Finally, I realized. A milking machine, where it drains all blood from a living thing.
I was too scared to speak to say it was a milking machine but then noticed a tape near a desk. I began to put it on an old player and then the video on the magic box played.
"Data Log Day 0
We started our Project H.Y.B.R.I.D to make the a first half human creature between two animal DNA.
I was surprised. I knew I had recognized who that was. It must be the owner who got us to safety when she realized her true intentions.
"We started to make the ooze called Hybria to make haste of injecting a host and into a Hybrid. I was confident that we would be able to make it right. That is if we could possibly maintain its behavior.
Data Log: Day 5
I started to bring in these four sea turtle eggs so Ms. Shadowside will inject the mutagen inside. They were late hatchers the day my scientists managed to find them on the beach and brought them in for study. Luckily the test of the Hybrian blood had been successful. Sure though they will hatch to become powerful soldiers once we continue on our project.
