The alarms blared throughout the facility, startling most of the guards and doctors throughout it.

"Wha...What the hell is that!?" A sleeping guard groaned, looking around drunkenly.

"Experiment three has vanished from his holding room. You are ordered to find and retrieve him unharmed." A speaker above him blurted out. Experiments one and two were awoken from all the commotion just as clueless as the rest of the facility. What none of them knew was that experiment three was already out of the building's grounds. He wore the clothes that the doctors provided him and a black sheet to cover his features. With the facility being at the edge of the Town of Oaks, his best bet was to lay low in the town. The town itself consisted of a large forest populated by large trees. Stores, restaurants, arcades, book stores, and cafes were carved into the bottom of the tree while hotels and houses are up near the canopy. It was a calm town with the occasional problem here and there. Experiment three was very familiar with the layout of the town since he constantly asked about it. He was obsessed with the outside world and now he was finally out. It was around seven thirty at night so he went to a part cafe part bar named "The Sleeping Stallion". He entered to find the place empty except for a bunny and a horse. The white bunny sat on a stool at the bar talking to the horse, who was the owner and the bartender. The horse wore black pants with a white shirt and black vest while the bunny was in torn jeans a plain white t-shirt. Experiment three kept his sheet around him so they wouldn't be able to see his face.

"Welcome stranger!" the horse greeted to his cloaked customer who was too busy admiring all of the items and newspaper clippings that littered the walls. "Heh, well if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask." This time the horse's words reached the cloaked guest and snapped him back.

"Oh my, I'm terribly sorry." He gave a short bow toward the horse who gave off a chuckle. Experiment three's voice was soft and gentle, clearly not used to regular conversations.

"No worries, no worries at all! Did you want anything eat or drink? Or are you here for some company?" The horse motioned to the plethora of drinks behind him then over to the kitchen to his left.

"As you can tell, this late night cafe isn't really popular. I only ever find myself alone here..." The bunny giggled before getting hit on his head by the horse. He looked glared at the horse then turned to face the cloaked guest with a weak smile. When he did so, experiment three noticed a large scar that spread across the middle of his face.

"Um, I don't have any money, I just wanted to..." The experiment started yet was swiftly cut off.

"Well, you can just hang out with us then! The more the merrier! My name is Justin and I own this little spot. Over here is the always bothersome Harry." Justin poked Harry's head with a soft chuckle.

"Hey! Throwin me under the bus already! Well forget him, what's your name?" Harry asked, turning his body to face their new friend. Experiment three looked down, ever since he can remember he was mentioned by one name.

"Um...Three..." He said quietly, grabbing one of his arms.

"What was that?" Justin asked, leaning closer.

"He said his name was....Zizi, right?" Harry responded. The experiment looked up at Harry giving him a good look at his bright gray eyes. It took Harry by surprise yet he quickly smiled. "Come on Zizi, it is what you said right." He gave off a wink to him.

"Ye-Yes!" Now both Harry and Justin could see Zizi's bright eyes along with what seems to be a smile that formed on his face.

"Alright! Zizi is the name of our mysterious guest, now perhaps can we see what he or she looks like?" Justin asked with a smile. Zizi clenched his sheet that he wore tightly, then slowly pulled it off. It first revealed the pitch black hair that fell on the side of his soft and light face. His nose matched his eyes while his fur was only a little lighter than his hair. Streaks of blue ran up and down the middle of his arms while a dark purple streak ran down the middle of his chest and belly. The shirt one of the doctors gave him covered most of the line on his chest however.

"It's, he." Zizi said softly, his cheeks growing red. The two stared at him for a couple seconds then shook their heads.

"Man, never thought a good looking guy such as yourself would appear in front of me." Justin now was gazing into Zizi's eyes. Harry nodded and took another sip of his drink. Zizi's ears perked up quickly and shivered, hearing something he didn't want to hear.

"Something wrong there Zizi?" Harry asked without looking over to him. Justin's phone rang suddenly, causing him to retreat to the kitchen. When Harry didn't get a response, he looked over to Zizi who was beginning to panic. "Zizi..."

"They're coming for me. I thought I would have a longer time to spend exploring this town." Zizi's eyes were brimming with tears. Harry now heard commotion coming from outside the cafe, he could hear what sounded like ordering. Justin returned to the two of them and heard the commotion outside as well.

"What's going on Zizi? What did Harry do to you?"Justin asked giving a sharp glare towards Harry. Harry pulled his hand over his head, masking his face a bit in darkness.

"Justin, take Zizi in the kitchen. Zizi, you're going to have to be really quiet. Justin come back quickly and follow my lead." Harry commanded quickly.

"No, I'll just..." Zizi was interrupted by Justin grabbing him and carrying him to the kitchen quickly. As he returned, the doors opened slowly and in walked several men. They were visibly armed, not having a place to hide their rifles.

"Woah there fellas, I'm going to have to ask you to leave your toys at the door. This is a place of simple drinking, food, and conversations." Justin smiled at the armed thugs who laughed and aimed their rifles towards him.

"Who do you think you are? Ordering us, the God's Anarchy, to leave our GUNS at the door. Ha!" One of them spoke, a wicked grin spreading across his face. God's Anarchy is a "top of the food chain" gang that quickly infected the world. They go around terrorizing towns and generally striking fear in everyone's hearts. Yet sometimes they become a mercenary group doing anything for the right price. The gang is divided into sub-divisions, which were organized by species. The sub-division that invaded the Town of Oaks is the lizard division. The group surrounded the two with guns drown on each. One removed Harry's hood and sighed in disappointment. "Alright, spread out and find the little bitch so we can get paid. You know what to do if we don't find him." The thugs snickered and began checking thoroughly through the cafe. They left one lizard to keep Harry and Justin at bay, with his gun still trained on Justin.

"So... Who are you looking for?" Harry asked calmly to the lone guard. He then moved his weapon to Harry.

"Did anyone say you can talk?" The thug growled.

"No, but no one told me not to speak either." Harry turned towards him causing his claws to shake nervously.

"H-Hey! Turn away from me! Ri-right now! I'll blow your fucking brains out!" Two other thugs who heard the commotion and drew near. Harry noticed this and knew he needed to act fast. He glanced over at Justin, who was already below the counter. Then he did another glance to see where the other guards were before quickly disarming the one in front of him. He gripped the rifle with both paws then gunned the two incoming thugs down who were frozen in shock. Only two gunshots were heard accompanied by two thuds, with a third one coming right after.

"Justin hold this one down while I..." Harry began before a cry for help was heard from the kitchen with the end of the cry becoming muffled. Harry jumped off the thug with Justin replacing him and burst into the kitchen. His eyes met the other three lizards, two holding Zizi while the third one stood before Zizi with his cock in his face. Zizi's shirt was ripped off while he had a contraption in his maw keeping it open. Harries eyes flushed with anger, taking several shots at the exposed lizard. The bullets traveled through its body easily and spat blood down onto Zizi and the remaining lizards who returned fire and kept Zizi down. The bunny quickly took cover behind a counter, muttering angrily to himself. Zizi began to groan, the blood that fell on him causing a reaction. Two red lines appeared horizontally across his chest parallel to each other.

"We got the brat, let's get out of here!" One of the thugs said. The two of them still had their guns aimed over in the direction of Harry. When he would try to look where they were, a rain of bullets were sprayed in his direction. The lizards dragged the still groaning Zizi out of the kitchen, each colored line glowing brighter by the second. Their dragging stopped by the sound of metal creaking. They looked at each other before looking down at Zizi, who was now spitting out the contraption in his maw. Their grips on Zizi's arms slipped, allowing Zizi to get up. They were petrified in fear, not able to even speak. Their captive turned around slowly, staring at them with its bright gray eyes. When Harry couldn't hear any dragging noises nor commotion, he ran out of the kitchen then froze. He saw the lizards sitting down at a table, their eyes were now gray and fixated on each other. Zizi stood on the side of the table with his paw stretching over the table. Harry lowered his weapon and walked slowly towards them.

"Zizi? How did you...What are they doing?" He asked softly. With a snap of Zizi's claws, the two lizards began clawing their own necks out. Harry quickly looked away, not being able to bear the sight. After all the gargling noises and two thuds, Harry looked back to see the lizards face down on the table in a pool of blood. In this picture, Zizi was nowhere to be found. Harry pushed through the doors leading out to find Zizi standing in the town square. Surrounding him were all of the lizards that raided the town. Several towns folk were looking at the sight as well, making sure to keep their distance. Harry crept closer to the group to notice the lizard's eyes were all gray. Suddenly they all began t march out of the town all in unison. "Zizi, what did you do? What the hell is going on here!?" Harry ran up to Zizi, placing a paw on his shoulder. Harry looked at Zizi's eyes to see that they weren't as bright as they were usually.

"They are simply going home, that's all." The red lines were now gone from his chest. "May I...Explain the situation to you and Justin in private? It would make it...A lot easier..." Harry nodded and helped Zizi back to the cafe, who was feeling weaker from the use of his abilities.

"Nice of you two to...Join me!: Justin was struggling to keep the lizard down, who was completely silent. Harry dragged Justin off the lizard who rose and walked out of the cafe.

"Don't worry Justin..." Zizi leaned against a table before taking a seat on a chair. "He is returning home, like the others..." Harry informed Justin of the events that took place outside.

"Well, we all know who is cleaning this mess up. Harry..." Justin shot and glare over towards Harry and flicked his head towards the cleaning closet.

"I will clean everything. After all, it is my fault that all of this happened. I didn't think they would be able to get here so quickly." Zizi bowed towards Justin, who angrily smiled at him.

"No, Harry here is gonna clean it! It's his fault...Wait, what do you mean you didn't expect them to be so quick?"

"Well, please have a seat, this may take a while." Harry glared at Justin then sat on the edge of a near by table. Justin sat on a stool and motioned Zizi to begin. He nodded, "Well, to begin, my name is not Zizi. For the majority of my life I have been referred to as Experiment Three. For as long as I can remember, I have been without parents and was raised in a controlled environment. The only contact I received was from various doctors, guards, and two others that were in the same place as I was." Zizi let out a sigh before continuing. "As our titles say, we were experimented on daily. They changed us, turning us from innocent kids to never before seen weapons. We were separately changed, so we are all different. I don't what they gave us, but I remember hearing a doctor say that even they don't know when this change will occur. They also don't know what would trigger the use of the new founded abilities. In short, the heads of the program are in the dark exactly like their guinea pigs." Justin and Harry shot a look at each other and sighed.

"Your abilities just activated in the kitchen right?" Harry asked, his tone was soft as he knew this subject oh too well.

"No, thanks to the awakening of my abilities I was able to escape the facility."

"They have to be able to track you right?" Justin looked out the window. "I mean, when you guys do awake, they can't just have you run rampant."

"They can track me, though only when I use my ability. They can detect some energy that wouldn't be there normally. They knew to send the gang here only because I had a fascination with this town. It was the only thing that I could see of the outside world."

"So what's your next move? Get as far away as possible?" Harry followed Justin's gaze to see the facility past the trees resting on top of a hill. "I would assume you would want to be as far away from a place like that as possible."

"That was my original plan, however I do not think I will follow that plan." Both Harry and Justin quickly turned their heads to focus on Zizi.

"What? Well what are you gonna do then? You're way too close here to stay." Justin said.

"I am quite close to the facility, but this isn't a bad thing. Hiding in plain sight under their noses isn't a bad idea either." Zizi smiled. "Besides, you two are the only people I know, I also have nothing to my name." They agreed to it, agreeing it was the easiest and logical thing to do.

"Sp where are you gonna stay, eat, and shower?" Justin asked, started to clear out the cafe for closing.

"I was just gonna hang out at the outskirts. Bathing, just wash myself in a pond or something like that. For eating, I don't need to eat regularly like you would, so..."

"You're gonna stay with me Zizi..." Harry said. Before Zizi could refuse, Harry was dragging him out of the cafe and to his house. Back at the facility, everyone was in a panic. The doctors were ordered to focus on the experiments, who were confused and questioning the whereabouts of their friend. No one knew what to do, though one doctor came to the head and calmed him down. He thought of a plan, and it was going to work perfectly...
