Shichi slowly opened her eyes and looked around the dark room. There were tubes and beakers filled with different colored liquids, surgery tools, anything a mad scientist would have in his lab. There was even an operating table near the tools. Shichi looked at her hands that were being restricted above her head by some metal chains attached to the ceiling. She was being held above the ground, her feet only inches away from the concrete floor. Her ankles were being held by shackles that were attached to the floor. She tried moving her hands but the chains were too tight. She then heard a door open then close and a shadow come around the corner. It turned on the light and she became angry when she saw Zenaku standing there with a smile on his face.
Zenaku:I see you're finally awake.
Shichi:Let me go you bastard!
Zenaku:Now why would I do that? I still have to extract the shard from you.
Shichi:And what makes you think I'll let you have it?
Zenaku just smirked and went over to one of the tables. He grabbed a vial filled with a light purple liquid. It had a strange smell coming from it that you could actually see. He went over to Shichi and held it under her nose. She tried not to breathe it in but he knew she couldn't hold her breath forever. After about 45 seconds, she ended up taking a deep breath, smelling the weird scent from the liquid. She coughed a few times and began to feel weak after a few minutes.
Shichi:What d-did you give me?
Zenaku:Its a special mix I made specifically for you. Its designed to suppress your powers for 2 hours.
Shichi's eyesight began to go fuzzy. She felt tired and wanted to go to sleep but knew that if she did Zenaku would take the opportunity to take her shard.
Zenaku:You should have fallen asleep by now. Seems you're more persistent than I thought.
Shichi:L-let me go.
Zenaku ignored her and unlocked the shackles, making her fall onto the ground. She was too weak to stand or fight back when he picked her up and took her over to the operating table. He placed her down and locked her hands and feet. She could barely speak and could only mumble small sounds. Shichi looked above her and could barely make out the image of a strange object that seemed like a giant claw. She looked over to her left to see Zenaku messing with some of the vials. Shichi struggled to get free but couldn't. She then tried to transform but found that Zenaku was telling the truth. Her powers were suppressed. She laid there, hoping her friends would be able to find her.
Shoukku was pacing the room, trying to think of a way they could locate Shichi. Mon was sitting on the floor, her legs crossed and her hands together. She was concentrating hard but no one knew what she was concentrating on. Tsukiko was sitting next to Mon with Henshin on her lap while Aito was sitting with Yoroshii who was asleep in his arms. Tear streaks were left on his face after he spent so much time crying about Shichi. Shoukku looked over at Mon and he began to feel mad. He kept staring at her, wondering why she was just sitting there when his sister was in trouble. He finally had enough and began yelling.
Shoukku:Why are you just sitting there?! Shichi is in trouble we have to save her!
Mon:I'm trying to find her.
Shoukku:How the hell do you plan on doing that?!
Tsukiko:Mon is going to ask the spirits that are always with Shichi.
Shoukku:Spirits?
Tsukiko:Everyone has spirits with them. Even you. Mon is able to talk to those spirits and gain powers from them.
Shoukku:So you can ask these spirits where Shichi is?
Mon:Yes. Now if you could shut up so I can concentrate.
