They had done it, they had freaking won and it felt amazing. He looked around, at the people he had come to know and care about. The summoner grinned from ear to ear, it was good to know that they'd be going on more adventures together, that this wasn't their last stand. Hell, when he got old he'd have amazing tales to tell. The pride, they were simply amazing. [b]“Now, now it’s time for us all to wake up.”[/b] Lucien puffed up his cheeks like a sulky child. A baby dragon was napping comfortable on his head and a part of him wanted to stay for just a little bit longer. Whatever this place was, it wasn't as frightening anymore. "Fine, fine." "Y'know, if you stay here you might never leave." Atlas gave Lucien a smirk before fumbling with a dizzy Lute. "Man, we'll have to tell Ruana and Robin all about this, huh? It will be a whale of tale." He couldn't wait to have a nice glass of wine and more than anything he wanted to turn Robin into a pillow and sleep for ages. "Whatever that was," he focused his eyes on the rest of the pride. "It was pretty damn impressive." "That's the pride for you!" Lucien gave Atlas a thumbs up before Dylan's little comment made him grin. "The other side, yeah? Almost makes it sound like we're dying." He pulled a silly face. "Booo!" While the others talked and joked around Xan continued to stare at the rainbows and puppies, amazed by everything. She gave them a smile then closed her eyes, "we have a doctor to catch." --- [b][u]???[/b][/u] [center][img]http://hqdesktop.net/wallpapers/m/45/halo_reach_digital_art_concept_artwork_laboratory_m44643.jpg[/img][/center] [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/5vpzwo.png[/IMG] The sound of several machines going off filled the room. Bright lights shone overhead and the curtains were drawn shut. Slowly, the pride opened their eyes to an empty lab. Xan felt cold metal against her skin, each of them had been strapped onto a gurney as if they were patients awaiting an operation. She squeezed her eyes as a wave of nausea swept over her, the room zoomed in and out of focus and it felt like someone had smashed a hammer into her head. The girl sat up and tore the oxygen mask off her face. Minutes earlier a steady flow of sleeping gas had kept them out of commission, but now there was no sign of the doctor and the only sound they could hear was the beeping of several machines. She looked around and watched as her friends began to stir, some were already awake, scanning their surroundings. Her throat was so dry, had they been drugged? "He's gone," she croaked before another dizzy spell made Xan shut her eyes. They had to find him, if they didn't there was no telling what he would do. That man was a threat and his rightful place was behind bars. Atlas nearly fell off his own bed as he batted away at the electrodes attached to his head. The man let out a flurry of curses before his eyes went wide. There, on several giant screens were recaps of their worst nightmares. He saw his siblings and Robin being torn to ribbons then watched as the other members of the pride battled their own demons. Everything seemed so real on screen that it took all of his willpower to not grab a chair and fling it at the machine. He let out a sigh, "is everyone alright?" "Aside from a massive headache," Lucien was sprawled over his bed, he didn't even want to get up so he simply raised a wobbly thumbs up. The lab had been deserted, but for how long, none of them could tell. The lights flickered off and the giant screen in the center of the room flickered to life. They were greeted by a smiling man with a tiny hedgehog perched comfortably on his head, he even had the audacity to wave. [quote=Dr. Dream] "You were all such a crucial part of my experiment and I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart!" He walked around in tiny circles gesturing excitedly with his hands and grinning from ear to ear. In the background, the pride could see their unconscious bodies. "I guess I messed up, things went downhill for my little pet and you'll all be waking up in a couple of hours. I'll be leaving soon, but it'd be rude to skedaddle without a proper goodbye, yes?" Dr. Dream leaned towards the camera with a childish grin. "I learned so many things. You guys have definitely helped me out...I've even found a way to destroy that little loophole you've found, but blah! I'll need years worth or maybe decades worth of information." The man pouted, "whatever, your emotions have powered up my little pet, he might have taken a beating but we'll definitely learn from this. THIS, well this isn't the last you've seen of us, not by a long shot." The lights around him dimmed and he pulled out a plug. "Thank you for helping me, this information brings us all one step closer to a new world."[/quote] The screen went blank. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/ZCuIaWA.png[/img][/center]
