When they exited the elevator, they saw Aerith and Hollie lying in a specimen cage unconscious. "Hollie!" Daisey shouted as everyone else shouted "Aerith!"
"Hollie and Aerith? Oh, are those their names? Oh, and look! Now I have the completed set! Finally all of the last remaining Ancients in one place! I've been waiting nearly a decade to finish those experiments you know. It was very rude of you to leave."
Daisey backed up, while Cloud and Tifa stepped in front of her, and Zack pulled out his 'sword'. "We're taking them back," Cloud told him.
"Outsiders," hojo scoffed.
"Shoulda noticed it earlier, you---!" Barret started.
"There's so many frivolous things in this world." Barret ran up to Hojo and the cage and pointed his gun at Hojo, while Cloud drew his sword and did the same. "Are you going to kill me? I don't think you should. The equipment here is extremely delicate. Without me, who could operate it? Hmm?" Cloud growled in frustration, "That's right. I recommend you think things out logically before you make any rash moves. Now, bring in the specimen!" Hojo called to his assistant.
Aerith and Hollie woke and got up slowly when their cage rumbled from a platform rising into it. "Wh---where?" Hollie asked dazed.
Nanaki's hackles rose and he growled at them, making Aerith jump up, and Hollie just sit there still out of sorts. Aerith tried to protect Holli as she shouted, "Cloud, help!"
"What do you think you're doing!?" Cloud asked.
"Lending a helping hand to an endangered species... They're on the brink of extinction... If I don't help, all these animals will disappear."
"They're human beings!!" Tifa shouted angrily.
"You sick freak!" Zack shouted, "You're even worse than I remember!"
"You're gonna pay!" Barret said.
"Barret! Can't you do anything?" Cloud asked.
"Awright!! Step back!" He said aiming his gun arm at the cage and firing.
"No, stop!" Hojo cried as the inside of the cage glowed a blinding light that made the three disappear. Hojo pushed Barret out of the way and ran up to the cage, "No! My precious specimens! What have you done!?" He opened it, making the light dim, before Hojo could understand what was going on, Nanaki launched himself at him.
Daisey took this chance to run into the cage and grab her sister, with the help of Aerith and Cloud they got her out and leaned her on the side of the prison. "Hollie? Are you okay? It's me Daisey."
Hollie looked at her sleepily, "... What's going on...?"
Daisey looked at her sister's arms, there were needle marks and bruises all over. She hugged her fiercely as tears poured out of her eyes, "I'm so sorry I left you!! I'm so sorry!"
"... What are you talking about...? I'm tired..." She said before slumping over.
"Hollie!?" She panicked, "Hollie!?"
Cloud checked her pulse, "It's okay, she's just sleeping."
"This is a very ferocious specimen!!" Hojo cried.
Nanaki turned to them, "He's rather strong. I'll help you all out."
"It talked!?" Tifa asked surprised.
"I'll talk as much as you want later, miss," he replied.
"We'll take care of that monster. Barret! Take the girls somewhere safe!" Cloud said.
