Chapter 23 - The Phantom Head quarters

Zaya came out of the elevator, stepping into a lab.

A girl could be seen in the midst of a bunch of chemicals arranged in glass bowls she was analysing them.

Her hair dyed orange,her sleeves rolled her wrists as she began mixing the chemicals she's analysed.

Welcome back Zaya how did you like the Nano suit said June.

I think it's great june it increased my speed by five percent tonight,well that's a start.

What are you doing with those bars of gold though?

June asked her eyes still focused on the chemicals she experimented on.

Oh these Zaya said staring down at the bars of gold in her hands,well I'll give it to the police later said Zaya.

Alright Zaya give me the paw logo,let me make adjustments,

Zaya handed the Nano logo on her chest over to June.

Zaya then walked into the next room.

The room was hot filled with steam, Zaya coughed,Zoey are you there,"yes I am"

Zoey responded happily,how was your Nightly meditation,it was good., Zaya replied.

Zoey where are you,the steam's covered everywhere,said Zaya.

Am here silly in the hot tub,Zaya then walked towards the wall and turned off the switch of the hot tub.

Hey what did you do that for?

Zoey asked as she still remained in the hot tub,Zoey if you want to take a bath there's a bathroom.

Does it really look like I'm taking a bath?

Zoey asked,Zaya confused spoke I don't understand Zoey.

The steam then subsided,Zaya gaze caught up with Zoey's.

She wore the special Nano suit,June had made specifically for her,her hair had been dyed red,a hunt of dark red in her eyes.

She sat down in a hot tub,Zaya then Began walking closer.

Zoey's don't tell me you're doing what I think you're doing,said Zaya.

Yes it is,Zaya then got a good look at the hot tub,it was filled with larva!

Zoey get out of there!

Relax Zaya the suit is larva resistant and I could reduce the rate of it's resistance.

Zaya's look showed she wasn't agreeing to Zoey's defense.

You have to accept this Zaya this is the fastest way for me to get my innate ability, remember?

Yes I do Zoey just don't die okay?

Zoey then nodded her head in response.

Zaya turned the switch back on as she walked into the next room.

Zaya opened the door and was greeted with the hoise of a rushing wind almost pushing her back into Zoey's room.

Pauline!

Zaya yelled,am back from daily meditation,

The rushing wind seemed to become more fierce, Pauline are you there? Zaya called.

The air then became suddenly still as a figure appeared floating down to the ground legs crossed outfit blazing with energy.

Oh great Pauline I have returned from my nightly meditations,

shall you approve of myreturn,said Zaya as she giggled.

What the heck are you talking about Pauline spoke as both of her feet touched the ground,oh Pauline you're finally back from your wisdom adventures.

Yes I'm back said Pauline,Zaya what did you do?

it's just that you've been up there for over seventeen hours and so we missed our thoughtful Paulline,so we used you as a piñyata.

Of course you did Pauline said the energy in her body acquiescing.

So Pauline tell me where did you go?

The mages realm said Pauline as she walked towards her room's coffee machine.

Tell me, Pauline what did you find,The mages realm is a realm that played an important role in the creation of magic a long time ago.

And guess what said Pauline,what?

Zaya asked agaitated,turns out Edeth's also been there too.

She was as? said Zaya suprised.

What did she find there?

Well when Edeth was on her way to their realm the mages had sensed it from afar.

Like every other empire or civilization they were meant to fight the coming threat but they felt Edeth's power and it wasn't something they could overcome.

So, said Pauline taking a sip of coffee and handing a cup over to Zaya.

They were the ones that gave Edeth the ally gift.

Remember like Nyx's clones and Your purple goblin,yes I do Zaya said.

So did you learn anything different about the gifts of course I did, Pauline said.

The gift is subject to form as what you wish,I don't get it Zaya said confused, it basically means you can have clones and Nyx can have a red goblin.

That's neat said Zaya as both her and Pauline bean walking to the next room with cups of coffee in their hands.

Sparks scattered like rain all through the the room as Natasha and Ashara fought with their swords, parrying each other strikes accurately.

Like they've been dancing to the rhythmsnof battle for hours, Natasha was excited as she fought Ashara without flaw attacking and defending when necessary.

"Guys!"

"Am back!"

Both Zaya and Pauline echoed

The two girls stopped fighting as they stared at Zaya an Pauline cluelessly.

Welcome back girls said Natasha.

How was the infinite realms?

Ashara asked.

It was great,care to join us in our quest for quenching the thirst of battle Ashara asked smirking her clashing her white energy swords against each other.

I'll join you guys pretty soon,Zaya said as she entered the next room which was her training room.

Zaya walked in ,her gaze immediately falling on the picture of herself and Nyx hanged on a side of the wall.

A feeling of sadness washed over Zaya as she remembered what had happened.

It's been over one year since the Viking war.

Zaya remembered how Nyx had taught her to become a better fox,she improved greatly but still never got her memories back.

Zaya touched the frame on the wall,a tear falling from her eyes as she muttered.

Do not worry Nyx even if you're in the grasp of death itself I'll find and rescue you just have you've saved me a couple of times.

A life for a life.
