Another So Dangerous?

[Gaserlake]

This dimension is similar to the Aralang Reinforcement Outpost Dimension. Instead of all land and no space, it's all space and no land. There are many Aralang ships, from Fighters to Sajuuks, but there aren't as much. Only a few here and there. It has the Saraton Energy Shield around it, powered by a megalith. It has also been powered by Jupiter-sized stations. This is what Hik is in now. There are two other types of stations. A prison station, and a holding station, both types Jupiter-sized, as well. The prison station is self-explanatory--prisoners go there. The holding station contains the items that have been confiscated from Hikaru. That's where her boxed belongings are going to now.

Every station, has an IAM, AT, AP, and AB field.

A prison ship has arrived, and beamed Hikaru aboard it, along with a few other prisoners. Inside the prison ship are many cells. 10,000, to be exact. It then JD'ed to the prison station and beamed her and the others. The Aralangs then took the blindfold off of Hikaru and the others.

At the same time, a cargo ship came. It beamed aboard all the items, including Hik's, and JD'ed to a holding station, and beamed the cargo there.

This system has been made so that, if there was ever a prison break, the prisoners wouldn't be able to get out, as they would require a ship, and the anti- fields makes their situation worse, and their items that could have helped them would be in another station.

[Queen Bright]

As fast as the blindfold was off, Hikaru had the Aralang that did it by the shirt collar, holding it tight enough to choke the air out of him, an insane glint in her eyes. "Why don't you just god damn kill me already?!" She demanded, releasing him, but only fast enough for her to choke-hold him with the shackles. She didn't know where she was, or why they had blindfolded her, and what was to happen then. But she had, had the time to think about it, and she had felt the familiar sensation of being beamed. And more than once. This could only mean she was somewhere else far, and somewhere secret.

Not even relaxing her strangled hold, she continued her threat. This only proved she had clearly lost it, not quite insane, but getting there. "I don't know what the hell that stuff you used was, but to a magic user, losing every damn ounce of magic they have is the equivalent of death, so get it over with already, and drop your games!! Better yet...." She narrowed her eyes. "Release me or I'll use every last bit of my spirit  I have left, to make sure this place burns to hell."

[Gaserlake]

The choked Aralang punched her in the face and then elbowed her in the stomach, and quickly took the chains off. The Aralang behind Hikaru hit her square in the head with the butt of the rife, knocking her down to the ground. "Don't try," said the one who hit her in the head with the rifle.

[Queen Bright]

"You...just don't get it.." Hikaru began to laugh as she coughed up blood. Laughter of insanity mixed with pride. The hit from the gun had made her head spin and she could barely stand to her hands and knees as she defiantly glared up at them with narrowed eyes. "I am one of the sage three, Hikaru Tyris, eldest, of the three most powerful magic users in OUR dimension!" Her tone grew more sharp as she gave that declaration and stood up to her full height, looking them straight in the eye.

"You can kill me, you can take me captive, and you can try to ridicule me. But I REFUSE to be your damn prisoner!" With her words, a ghostly red energy began to radiate around her, but as she didn't have an ounce of magic in her thanks to the AM Fields and Injection, it could only mean one thing, spirit energy. A magic users last resort, and usually one that will end in their death. But even having completely lost it, Hikaru didn't plan on suicide, not in the least.

Before the Aralangs could have time to react to it, the red energy converged into one one spot; a circle she had drawn in the blood that had fallen when she was hit. As it converged to the circle, it then combusted into a shockwave that spread throughout the prison station, and faded with no damage done. In fact, damage didn't seem to really be the focus of the spell.

Instead, the spell had focused on one thing, it cast her spirit signature out to to anyone connected to her by blood or bond. Hikaru didn't know where she was, but for that she didn't need to know. Anyone connected to her in those ways would sense where her spirit was, and be given the coordinates of the spirit location through hologram instantly. And the Saraton Energy or any of the other safeguards would not be able to stop such a spell, as it was not magic, teleporting, portaling, or beaming, but of a signal through blood, bond, and connection.

"And know this," She gave one last laugh." ....you will never break me...." Hikaru then fell unconscious, her mind becoming unshielded. With the use of spirit energy, she would need to rejuvenate her spirit. Only, that required magic, and with the amount of spirit she had used with no magic to restore it, she would be out for a long time. And with the lack of consciousness, magic, and the part of spirit that had it shielded, her mind was left open. A small price to pay for a chance at freedom.

[Gaserlake]

The Aralangs just laughed as she spoke. They suddenly stopped, when they saw the red energy. They froze in awe as the red energy expanded until it disappeared. How did she do that? Afterwards, they were shocked to see her collapse. There wasn't a reason for her to collapse. They know they didn't do that much harm. It had to be what she had done. Suddenly, the Saraton Energy barriers behaved strangely for a few seconds. What happened? Something HAS to have happened in order for the Saraton Energy barrier to behave like it. There was a huge flux all around the entire barrier.

As soon as Hik's mind was unshielded, the Aralangs were able to penetrate into it, and that's what they did. They probed into her mind, revealing about what Hikaru just did. They also learned about the Spirit Energy, the massacre in the Guardian HQ, her plans of attacking Aralia, and her affiliation with K2 in not the Second Sage War, but in the First.

"K2? I know him," said the Aralang who got choked from Hik. "He got away with a lot of crimes."

"She caused all that? No wonder why people wanted her out real badly," said another.

As they probed more into Hikaru's mind, they dragged her into a scanner, similar to the ones at the airport IRL. The only thing that was found was Hikaru's cross, which was quickly beamed away. Then, Hikaru was de-cloathed and put in prison uniform at the same time. She was then beamed into the cell, on the floor, in the middle of the cell. Shackles have been beamed off of her.

They picked up some DNA samples from Hik's blood, and cleaned the floor afterwards.

Several minutes later, Leserlake arrived at the dimension.

[Queen Bright]

Several hours later, or at least what seemed several hours in the dimension she had came from, Hikaru awoke with a start. Instantly, her memories flooded back to her, and her thoughts returned. Where she was, as far as she knew. How she had gotten there, and the fact she was a prisoner, something she resented greatly.

As she climbed to her knees, her head ached,  her whole body felt shaky, and her thoughts found it hard to focus. God she felt weak. Weaker than one of the most powerful magic users should. It was almost ridiculous. Well that was what she got for using spirit energy. And from the looks of things, it hadn't even done any good. ...Where was Koty? She should have been freed by now. ...Had they somehow stopped her spell?

No... couldn't be. There was no way they would have known about spirit energy. Not such a magic ignorant race as them. Wiping the absurd thought from her mind, Hikaru looked about the place she was in. It was a cell, that part was true...metallic dark blue, and there didn't seem to be any way to break through it.  Not letting fear get to her, she continued to observe, taking everything in and looking for any possible thing they'd have missed, anything she could use to get out. There was nothing... A window on the door, but it seemed secure, no chance to break it. There was a crack beneath it, but it seemed like it'd only fit a paper. Therefore no luck there.

Sighing if frustration, Hikaru stepped back. The only other two things in the room were a bed and a bathroom. Both of which seemed to be bolted. And even if they weren't, she didn't have the strength to use either of them now. Definitely not, she'd need time to restore more of her spirit. And without magic, that would take longer than usual... It was a wonder she was even awake that soon.

God dammit! Where were they?! She used everything on that last spell. She was sure her brother wouldn't come. But Koty? There was no way she could stay there for two hundred years. She would end up going insane. She already felt hopeless. Ever since she had underestimated them and had gotten captured. She just refused to show it. Her pride was too strong for that... ESPECIALLY to be made powerless by a technological race, the thought was as absurd as the chance they might know about spirit energy. ...But it was true...and as much as she didn't want to admit it...them stopping her spell may have been true too....

"No, no, no, NO! God dammit!" Hikaru shouted to the silence as she punched the floor, causing pain to fill her arm and her already sore wrists from the shackles. But she didn't care, pain was the least of her worries. "I can't think like that. I'm a sage dammit! I won't let them or this place beat me...Just have to remain calm, and figure my way out of this...There MUST be something I haven't thought of yet....Then when I get out...they will pay."

[Gaserlake]

The Aralangs were busy talking about what they read from Hikaru's mind. When they detected some thoughts from Hikaru, they fell silent. They knew she was awake. But what she said made them smile and laugh. "Wow. She doesn't know who she's messing with," an Aralang said. They were out of view from the window, but they were close enough to be heard.

"Anyway," the Aralang continued, "Forget about the massacre and what she did. Think about what she didn't do!"

"Ah, well" another said. "I don't really understand why she didn't bother killing the Virus if she bothered killing every single goddamn person in the base."

"If she let it live, she let it live," a third voice said. "Nothing we can do about it now, except to hope it won't become active anytime soon, unless we send someone down there to kill it. I thought it was dead."

"So did I," the first Aralang said. "I thought it was long gone. So the base wasn't abandoned. She killed everyone in it. So THAT'S why we didn't take back the base ever since. There was a reason not to. Well, knowing the Virus, no wonder nobody went back there, especially to kill it."

The Aralang said the word 'Virus' so distinctively, that it would seem that it's to be used as a proper noun. Apparently, this is not just any virus.

[Queen Bright]

Taking a deep breath, Hikaru forced herself to calm down, putting her feelings of being powerless aside. As soon as she was able to think more clearly, she had picked up the pieces of conversation from the outside. Forcing herself to stand despite how weak she still was, she stood at the door to listen further, focusing on the things they had discussed.

Virus? Massacre? What the heck were they talking about? Had her brother given over every crime she had ever committed? Well he would later die for that if he had. In the meantime, what were the- With the word 'base,' and 'abandoned,' Hikaru suddenly knew. The guardian headquarters! But how...? How did they find out about that?  It was back  before the three had even came to this dimension. Back when she had tried to kill her brothers the second time. But how did they know? And what was this virus they mentioned?

In any case, whatever the virus was it seemed to be something the Aralangs feared. If there was any chance she could control such a thing...The result of the Second Sage War would definitely be their victory. This was something she would have to look into later. But to do that, she would have to be free. And for that she needed ...Koty..

Just thinking his name, Hikaru instinctively reached for the cross, just then realizing it was no longer around her neck. Without a second thought she glanced down. Orange. They really had taken everything... even her clothes. What was this? Some sick twisted version of old Earth?! Clenching her fists, Hikaru kicked the door. God damn them, God damn them, GOD DAMN THEM! She WOULD get out. She WOULD find this virus. And she WOULD wipe every damn last one of them to extinction.

With this resolve in mind to refuel her determination, Hikaru continued to listen, waiting for anything else that may help.

[Gaserlake]

When the Aralang heard a kick on the door, they knew Hikaru was listening. They read what she thought without her realizing it. The three looked at each other, only grimly. "If only she knew what we knew," said one of them. "She wouldn't want to find the bloody virus."

"She won't be able to tame the thing. She can't use it as a weapon," another said. "If anything, it would backfire."

"You know, what's funny is that we're trying to talk behind her back, and she's listening, and we know it" said another voice.

"Yeah, yeah. Good that she's listening," the first Aralang said. "She should know that if the virus ever got loose, it would be her fault."

[Queen Bright]

Hikaru jumped back from the door in reflex. She knew by her reactions they would know she was listening, who wouldn't listen? But her thoughts about finding the virus? Those were thoughts! She hadn't said a damn thing of it, that way they wouldn't know her plans. What was going on? Crossing her arms, Hikaru thought back, attempting to recall all information she had on the Aralangs. That wasn't much, that she had to admit.

But what she did know, didn't add up. To her knowledge they weren't around back then, so to know of her destruction of the Guardian Headquarters... And now automatically knowing her plans? It was like mind readi-... Wait a minute! That one! He had said a lie detector wouldn't work if her mind was shielded. She was desperate back then, so she didn't think anything on it. But how had he known her mind was shielded? And her brothers memory? She figured he had just sent it with a spell...but wasn't he too under the AM field?  Had they created a tech that could read minds? This was bad...

Not that she had to really worry about it. Her mind was shielded after all no way they could know her thou-.......then how?! How had they gotten through her shield?! And ...if they had...how much did they read? How much could they read with resistance of it? Did they get it all? Could they tell what she was thinking now?

With a glance around the room, Hikaru could feel herself paranoid. She needed a test....but in the case the test was positive.....not even her mind was safe. If they had broken her shield, then she was stuck. Without magic she couldn't strengthen it, or even rebuild it. "Grrr." She needed to stop thinking, or she was just giving herself away. It was time to test just how much they had access to....If it was everything... then that would include her magical knowledge, the result of her spell... Maybe they HAD stopped it! No...She shook her head. She couldn't think that, not till she had proof!

"Read this bastards..." Hikaru muttered into the air, then focused on her thoughts. In her mind, she began to visualize a scene, blood carnage, and complete annihilation of the Aralangs in the most detailed depiction she could imagine. Anyone of normal mentality that could see such thoughts she was thinking, would run screaming into insanity. And children would die of nightmares.

[Gaserlake]

The three Aralangs were shocked at the image that just came up. Sure, she did test them, and the Aralangs knew it, but that's one hell of a test. They were silent for a few moments. "Holy, shit!" said one Aralang. "That's the most disturbing image I've ever seen, Hikaru! Good job!"

Meanwhile, Leserlake and another Elite were arguing over whether to release Hikaru. As they talked, they were on their way to Hikaru's cell. They stopped near enough for Hikaru to hear. "Speak of the devil," one of the three Aralangs said. "They're talking about her. She must be the center of attention."

"I don't like this, Leserlake. She would have nothing to stop her from causing another war. You know how effective propaganda is," a voice said.

"I know, that's what I'm worried about, sir," Leserlake said. "She has got a lot of attention. A lot of people want her out."

"Yeah, and you know, she just helped the virus get loose, if it ever will."

"She didn't realize. The only ones who would do what she did are the ones who didn't know about it."

"And K2 asked you to release Hikaru? Do you know what K2 did?" said the Elite with a louder voice.

"Yes, I know. Gaserlake did let K2 get away with them all, and I think he has a reason why. He and Gaserlake seemed to be like brothers."

The Elite's voice then grew back to normal. "True. It seemed that Gaserlake knew what he was doing when he let him get away with it. Only the two know what they are up two. He supports wars against the Aralangs, and then supports them."

[Queen Bright]

That did it. With their response, Hikaru had all she needed to know. Nothing was safe now, not even her mind. Her last sanctuary, and the protection on it was gone. She had to stop thinking! But for two hundred years?! She'd go insane...And she couldn't even meditate. Well she could... but they would even read that. "Stop Hikaru... stop.." She muttered to herself. Out loud? In her mind? It didn't matter anymore. If both could be heard, why not out loud? At least saying it aloud gave her something to talk to. Even if that was only herself. "Just need to stop... You're letting them get to you... If that happens, You won't have enough focus for escape. I can't! No, I WON'T let them make me lose my mind. I HAVE to focus! It's the only chance to get out of here.. If I lose that goal now, there is no chance."

With the sounds of the voices coming near, she froze, dropping what the last words she was about to say to herself. Release? Standing back at the door, Hikaru began to further listen, her eyes widening in surprise at what she had found out. Her brother asked them to release her? Was that even possible? They hated each other! But wait... did this mean her signal worked as well? But why her brother? She was expecting Koty, but K2323? He would never.... Shaking her head, she listened further. It didn't matter why at the moment, just that he had asked for her release. And the fact he seemed to be close to one of them made it all the more possible. She'd have to worry about the why later. For now, when?!

[Gaserlake]

"Calm down. Don't worry. We'll leave you alone, now, but don't try to escape or anything of the sort, or anything we won't like," a voice said in Hikaru's head. It was the same voice as one of the Aralangs. The three Aralangs went past her cell. They were apparently guards, and they looked like they meant business.

"Alright," the Elite said. "I'll think about it. I'll tell you when I made my mind up."

"Alright," Leserlake said, with a happy voice. "Thanks. I'll be waiting."

Leserlake left the area, with the other Elite pacing back and forth for quite a while.

[Queen Bright]

Hikaru merely glared back at the guards. They didn't scare her. They may have had her paranoid with her thoughts being out in the open. But they still didn't scare her. She WOULD still escape. For now, however, it seemed all there was to do was wait. Walking away from the door, she sat on the ground and thought. If they said yes, she'd get out. Then first chance she got, she'd find this virus and destroy them all. They underestimated sages, she WOULD control it.

However... Hikaru layed on the ground resting her head on her hands, staring up at the ceiling as she fell into her thoughts. If she didn't get released, she would just have to withstand it. Either she'd wait for her spirit to restore, and break her way out. Or she'd just wait out the two hundred years. She was a sage after all, long life, and immortality. She had already been alive thousands of years, what was two hundred more? She would just have to find a way from going insane in that time.

Either way, granted that she still had her sanity when the time came, after two hundred years. She'd find the virus then. If they really did fear it, no one would bother it and it would most likely still be there. Either way, they'd pay.

"Hear that Aralangs?!" Hikaru shouted to 'herself,' in the silence, her voice echoing off the walls of the cell. "You're still going to die! Whether it's now, a few days, or two hundred years form now! I'll still make sure every last one of you are wiped out!"

[Gaserlake]

The Elite smirked as he listened to Hikaru. It would be fun to release her in this state, but things have to be serious. He walked off, and met with Leserlake. "I'm sorry. But I don't think it's a good idea to release her."

Leserlake frowned. "I understand. Good day to you, sir."

"You, too," the Elite replied.

The two parted. Leserlake left the dimension. The Elite went back to his office.

[Queen Bright]

When the Elite had walked off, Hikaru sighed. Well she was expecting that answer. Looks like her brothers master plan of being nice and asking didn't work. As if it would. That was okay, she had other plans, she would just have to wait for her spirit to restore. If she was awake that soon, after using the amount she had, then it couldn't be too long to restore the rest. Maybe there was something about the place she was in that restored it faster...Either way, if all she could do was wait for it to restore, then for now....

Hikaru stood up and pounded on the door. "Hey! Incompetent fools! I know you can hear me. At least give me a damn book or something! What do you expect me to do? Stare at a wall for two hundred years? I hope you know, people CAN die from boredom." She paused, thinking for a minute, and then smirked with a lie in mind. "Sages especially, if we don't get entertainment within a day, we'll die."

[Gaserlake]

One of the three Aralang guards came back to her cell. He looked at her through the window. He was slightly annoyed, but he understood her problem. "Really? I thought it was without an enchantment, that you would be dead in a day," he said sarcastically. "What book do you want? We got tons."

[Queen Bright]

Hikaru growled as she glared back. Just how much did they know?! If they knew about the age spell, what more could they know? This wasn't looking good... She had to find out just how much they had found out. If it was everything...had she herself become the means to defeat the magic users? Through her magical knowledge? No! Not possible! They couldn't have broken her shield that well. But just in case... She still needed to find out.

"Spell books of course." Hikaru replied back, but then rolled her eyes. "But I don't expect you to have those. So you can either give me the Revelations Spell Book back and I can read that, or something blank and something to write with. Oh.... And just how much did you infidels read?! The age spell, that's not a shock. But what else do you know?!"

[Gaserlake]

The Aralang just smiled. "We have tons of those, as well. We may be a technological empire, but it doesn't mean we are ignorant towards magic." When Hikaru asked her how much he knows, he said, with a knowing smile, "We read all of it. Anyway, what spell book do you want, or do you still want paper and a utensil?"

[Queen Bright]

All? Dropping what she was about to say, Hikaru stared back, only able to blink. Soon clenching her fists, her stare turned into a glower as she bit down on her words, holding back what she WANTED to say. "Both, and all of them." She instead forced herself to mutter. "If I'm to be here for this ridiculous time period you've set, then I want all the damn books you have AND writing utensils. Oh, and I DEMAND food. Or do you starve people as well?!"

[Gaserlake]

The Aralang rolled his eyes at Hikaru. "Oh, blimey. Really? Now, where to start?" the Aralang asked himself. A second later, he said, "Personally, I'll let you start with the virus we've been talking about. Oh, and you're hungry? Alright, seeing as you just came, we'll give it to you. But there's three square meals a day, afterwards." The Aralang walked away.

[Queen Bright]

When she was sure he had left, Hikaru walked back to the center of the room, then to one of the walls. She then brought her finger to her mouth and bit it hard enough to draw blood. "Now... second part of my plan..." She muttered to herself, then began to write in blood upon the wall. If she ran out of blood, she would just bite it again. And if the finger became too painful, she would just use another one. She had ten after all. By the time her work was finished, however. She had the words "Die," "Aralangs," "Destroy," and "Hate," written thousands of times along with names of people she wanted to kill, on the first wall. When she was finished, she moved on to the next.

All of this was done as she waited for the guard to return. They wanted to keep her prisoner? Then she would just show insanity. Eventually they'd have to walk in...... That's when she'd act. Finally after she was done with the first three walls. On the final wall across from the door, she drew a large spell circle, in preparation for when her spirit would return.

[Gaserlake]

When Hik turned from the final wall, she could see the Aralang outside staring in astonishment, surprise, and awkwardness. He didn't seem to be sick. "Holy, shit!" he said out loud. "Hey guys! Check this out," he called out to the other two, still looking at all the blood. The other two came. Like the first Aralang, they had the same looks and they didn't feel sick.

"The Hell?" one of them said.

They looked at the hitlist. They saw K2 as #1 and the Aralangs as #2.

The first one slid open a small gap through the door, enough to put the tray of food and the book through. It was near the bottom of the door, enough for the Aralang to place down the cup of water to the ground without dropping it. The food is similar to mashed potatoes and peas.. There was some kind of meat, and it didn't appear to be Earth-like, in fact, the only thing Earth-like is the book, the tray, the plate the food is on, and the cup of water. The Aralang then put the book through. It was a hard-cover book, and it had over 1,000 pages in it. The title of the book, in bold letters read "The Garelang Virus"

"The food and water has everything your body needs," the Aralang said. "The book explains about the virus."

[Queen Bright]

Hikaru observed the tray and book distastefully. Without a word, in an instant, she had jumped to the side of the room with the door. Her fingers still bleeding, she merely ignored the pain and dropped down with a kicked through the gap before they had time to close it. Whether her foot had collided with his face, legs, or hands. Didn't matter. Just as long as the Aralang was in pain. And she didn't just stop there, she continued to attack in anyway she could for as long as the gap would stay open, knocking the tray away with a clatter and spilling its contents all over, the book falling to the ground.

[Gaserlake]

The Aralang saw it coming. When Hikaru tried to kick him, he grabbed her foot and lifted it up, and let it go. The momentum is enough to make fall on her back. He then took his arm out, and closed the slide, locking it. "Eat and drink what you can, and read the book," the Aralang said. He then turned to the others. "She's going crazy. We might have to stop her before she gets out of hand.
